Movin' on up!
Hey, everybody! I finally have my computer back. What began as a simple cleaning, turned into a major production. After the cleaning, my power unit blew. According to my computer guy, the 100-watt unit was too small and he had to order a 300-watt one for me. Hopefully, this one will last.

Somebody, please fill me in, so that I don't have to go through three whole weeks of threads:

Did Anne have her baby and is everything all right?
Shell, are you still seeing Ric, how's the new job and apartment?
Hissy, how are the Trips?
Who's getting married, who broke up and who's pregnant?

We are all fine, here. I got my six-month merit raise and am looking at a promotion, in January. Bill is still plodding along, at the same old job and same old pay.

Mark, Sam and the twins are doing well. I have to be dragged out of the baby dept., to keep me from buying every cute thing, that I see.

All of the pets are fat and sassy. We have resolved Buddy's GI problems (beef & liver cat food did NOT agree with him) and I don't have to clean his butt anymore. WHEW! Opie and Buddy are no longer exhibiting macho behavior - they amicably share my pillow, every night.

My parents are fine. My dad wanted to have a family Thanksgiving but everybody already had plans. They went to my brother Randy's house and we went to Black Angus, for dinner.

I've missed being on line, this past three weeks. Will try to catch up on as much as I can.

Welcome back! It's been a bit quieter here without you!


Anne did have her baby and there is a thread with pictures.

I had nose and sinus surgery two weeks ago this coming Tuesday. Doing well, just get tired easy.

My new kitties are just like they've always been here.

And last but not least.... I finally got my car back yesterday! YAY
It's been a long 4 months!

Hey Girl! I was wondering where you've been! Glad to have you back!


To answer your questions: Shell, are you still seeing Ric, how's the new job and apartment?

To be honest, I really don't know if I'm still seeing Ric. We definitely good friends & we talk quite a bit. As for a love connection, I don't know. We both want different things right now & we both feel that. So, we just hang out & have fun. It's really that simple. As for the job, it's been wild especially since yesterday was the biggest day for Walmart. My training is going fairly well, but my partner is starting to drive me nuts. We already had one big blow out this week (it wasn't one of my finest hours you could say!). It wasn't pretty & I swear if someone didn't stop us we would have been trying to strangle each other. Hopefully, now that's out of our systems we'll get along good again!

The apartment is good...just finished cleaning it. It's amazing how I can be such a slob at times!
The girls are pretty comfy here...seems like they enjoy it!

Other than that, everything in my world is going good. Glad to hear that you're back here with us die hards!
C-ya around!

There I was reading the day after Thanksgiving shopping thread, and Cindy pops in like she was never gone. Folks around here were starting to worry a bit.

Glad to see you, girl. The old place just wasn't the same.

I missed my computer. The worst was when I had a Tuesday off - daytime TV sucks!!! Thank goodness, for MSNBC and the library!

Right here! :)
Hey Cindy! Welcome back! I just came back after having not been on for allmost a month. I wasn´t away, just tired and restless, but still missed TCS a lot!

Nice that everything is OK with you, and good news from the twins. I understand you wanting to buy every sweet thing you see for them!
Do you have any more pics of them??? I would love to see some!

100 watt power supply? Geez, that's really outrageous! It's crazy what manufacturers like dell etc will do to save a few dollars. I've even heard of some with as low as 80w...


Too bad you're not local to me though. Just a quick drive to any computer store, $20, and a screwdriver and you're back online within a few hours...

Mine is a two-year-old HP and I am a computer dummy. I had instructions, for cleaning the computer but, I'm scared to death of opening it up and not being able to get it back together. After the cleaning, I plugged it in, something went "pop" and it wouldn't work. I took it back to the guy who cleaned it (husband of a friend) and it took him forever to get it fixed. Kathy and Jesse are nice people but I think that I'll take my comp work elsewhere. One of the Yahoo guys, at work, got a bit ticked, because I hadn't asked him to do it.
