Did anything good happen to you today?
I had something good happen!

My new ISP, tech support, did NOT hang up on me and I actually got real help and a compliment
from the guy I did get on the phone and he escalated my issue to the engineers for Monday
morning and since we finally did got off the phone (2 hour phone call!); I haven't lost connectivity at all!!

I'm sooo happy !! :D

I found a lot of good music at the library today
I am exposing my daughter to the old stuff. She is getting me up to date on the new music. It's quite bonding.

2. That is sooo cool!
I was laughing last year that my son kept "discovering" all the music I used to listen to
when I was in my teens and he was sooo excited about it but now, he listens to the top 20
and a lot of screaming alternative music. *sigh*

That sounds like a great day, Generic Brad! Hold on to those days, while you've got them.

1. Son And Daughter-In-Law Are Here For The Weekend
They live in the city, and we're out here in the country. I think they like it here, and I love having them here. :)

9. Awe... I'm sorry you don't feel well, DarkTirade
Colds really are tiring and all those work hours on top of it.

Get some rest tonight and drink a lot of water.

I hope you feel better in the morning! :hug:

10. Just popped a couple of decongestants
and downed two whole glasses of water in the process.

And I'm 'bout to get up and get more.

I'm also thinking of getting a nip of brandy from downstairs... to... um... help me sleep better. :evilgrin:

11. Well, hold off on more drugs... let the one's you already took kick in first...
Edited on Sat Nov-29-08 11:58 PM by Breeze54
like in about 4 hours, if you don't feel better by then. We need you here, ya know?
Glad you're drinking water! That seems to work for me and I usually can kick a cold
in a day or two with a lot of water and rest, when I can get it!

As for brandy? Have at it!! :P

12. I meant more water, not more decongestants. :)
Unfortunately the decongestants mean I DEFINITELY can't go out tonight. Last time I drove after taking 'em I started to get sleepy and lose focus halfway through the drive. :scared: Made it in one piece, but there were a few minutes there when I was contemplating pulling over.

19. Thanks, sweetie...
I suspect, since he's already published two of mine, that he will look favorably on these!

I hope, anyway!

23. Awesome!! Messed up internets is the pits!
Edited on Sun Nov-30-08 12:36 AM by Breeze54
I've been battling it all week and tonight I'm finally 'online'

without having to reboot or any of the rest of the tweaks... knock on wood!!

Of course, as soon as I post this, I'll start having 'issues' again!

Almost did on my last post... *groan*

Congratulations!! :D

24. We got the kitchen re-painted!
I should say re-re-painted. Before we moved in, my wife faux-painted the kitchen. She never really liked how it turned out. So, yesterday, we started re-faux-painting it. After finishing two walls, she finally agreed with me that it looked horrible and we needed to start from scratch, and preferably give up this "faux foolishness," as I called it.

So, today, we got some new paint and did the whole thing solid, and it looks great. We actually had fun doing it.

Not the most exciting weekend, I'll grant you. But it's nice to have it done.

26. Not personally, but the Bruins kicked Detroit's ass.
So I'll count that as good for me, too. :)
