Jenny’s Web World

Unbelievable.  I am working on my computer and suddenly a little system bubble pops up telling me that my C drive is low on disk space.  I have two 145GB internal hard drives! How can this be? Well, darn it all, I really do have less than 1GB left on C.  No wonder it takes hours for my system to backup, which I do on a remote server.  And I have no idea what to get rid of; everything’s important.

I have been smelling poo all evening, but I can’t locate it.  I’ve been all around the downstairs sniffing, turned Dot’s cage inside-out, and looked under all kinds of stuff, but it still eludes me.  I know the dog needs a bath, but up close, she only smells like dog, not poo.

After grumbling the past few weeks about being invisible, what do I do? Neglect to tell Katie that her sister got her visa problem resolved and left for London yesterday.  She cried.  Boy do I feel like a shit.  Maybe that’s why I smell poo.

I got a huge pain inside when I heard cars and voices outside the side of the house and realized it won’t be Kerri and her friends.  This sucks.  And with Katie planning on moving from Beverly to somewhere near Andover, we’ll never see her anymore either (even if it’s just for laundry).  Must get another puppy to alleviate my empty-nest syndrome.  Oh wait, that would mean more poo.  Never mind.  I’ll get another hard drive instead.

I was actually googling “firefox bookmarks frozen” because I can’t add or reorder any of my bookmarks in Firefox, and I desperately want to bookmark some CDs I have been listening to through my Naxos subscription. I didn’t find any useful information, but I did see a line “Firefox has been frozen by your add-on.” in the search results. Even though the site was something I’ve never heard of (MyProps.org), it didn’t have google’s warning about being a spyware site, so I clicked on it.  The article in question turned out to be just a link to another site, which turned out to be a photo gallery from the Telegraph (UK): “A tight spot: the silly animals that found themselves a bit stuck“.  Great photos!  Except the one with the six-week-old fox cub; that one was very sad. Thank goodness someone found the cub before it died.  Of course, I still can’t add bookmarks.

This month has flown right by, but not without some learning experiences.  Here are some things I learned:

• Never give Schrödie flea medicine while wearing a decent shirt; she still has back claws.

• There is a limit as to how much milk one can ingest in the span of three minutes.

• High school kids that play in pit bands are really cool.

• The Comfort Inn is not that comfortable.

• It can take 50 minutes to drive 5 miles when there is night construction on I-95.

• Always make a backup of a database table before you do anything to it.

• Agatha Christie is still a good read.

• Some vampire cable shows should never have been made.
