ManifestedISO Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I have to say it: Woldan's shoes are stylin'. Agreed. My one pair of power shoes are black Pumas. I mean, I don't power-lift weights in them, like Woldan, just walk around and feel more confident wearing them. The tongue is off-center and there's probably five different texture prints from heel to toe, with the puma outlined in silver. All Stop. On Screen.

Malcador Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 New PC failed to post so need to spend time debugging that. Hope it is just connection problems and no need to RMA stuff. Bah.

Guard Dog Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Wondering that if clients don't care about their issues then I can safely do the same. Ah well, symptom of clients end-of-lifing (silly term but it is what is used here) the product my company makes. You haven't started hating your customers yet? You will! I had a teacher at a school I designed and installed a Wi-Fi-wiMAX system for two years ago approach me and ask why they could not connect their phone to the school network. She handed me the phone and it was a Nokia 6630. I told her that phone is twelve years old. 802.11 wi-fi was a very new thing then and most phones didn't have it. Her reply, delivered in a huff I might add, was that why could all of her colleagues connect their phones then? Thank God she was a music teacher, had she been a math, science, or economics teacher I'd have been worried. 2 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyCrimson Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 Never ending May birthday parties. I keep waking up super-sore/stiff back/shoulder and hip wise. Spend 20 minutes stretching myself all out when I wake up in order to feel half way normal and not stumble into walls from stiff hips making me lose my balance. Keep telling hubby we need a new mattress. He keeps going "it's fine for me." I guess I'm the Princess and he's the sleep-on-a-rock guy. Maybe we need a Sleep Number bed. And I need to get away from this town again. I find it ultimately depressing, here. “Things are as they are.

Hurlshort Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 My car is killing me. I took it in a few weeks ago for some suspension issue. It was covered under warranty, but I still have a $100 deductible. Then today a sensor went out. Again, the warranty covers it, but again, it's another $100. I've had to take this thing in every other month it seems, always for some little issue. It's a ford fusion hybrid, and it has 116,000 miles.

Deadly_Nightshade Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I'm coming to terms with the fact that I might have messed up things and that only time will tell if we're going to get through this or not, I hope we do because I do really like her but if we need space and distance maybe that's best...

LadyCrimson Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 Hubby came home, told me BB King had died and that he and a workmate went out for a beer to toast the man. I think it's one of the first times a "famous" person has passed where my husband showed any feeling at all. Poor hubby. We saw him in concert a few times in the 80's/90's. Definitely one of the goods ones. RIP and all that. 3 “Things are as they are.
