How vain are you?

I, too, LOVE the knowledge and info out there on the internet. It's just that the delivery systems (aka pads, tablets, etc) are confusing for those of us who are older. I remember joking as usual that my "VCR was blinking 12 o'clock" when I was gently reminded that there aren't clocks on disk players....sigh.

I'm using my little baby Mini Kobo at work until my boss comes in. That gives me 4 hours or so to be able to read between clients. She uses her cell phone, so what the heck is the difference? I'll be glad to leave this temp position shortly.

Greece is behind the curve on technology, but it did strike me that when dd started junior high in 2004, she was the only kid with her own computer and internet access at home. When she graduated HS 6 years later, there was only one kid in the class who did not have internet access at home. Huge change in a very short space of time.

Caryn, easy to guess if you're older than me as I put my year of birth in my name! hehehehee

For those that don't realize, Tylenol is acetaminophen.... BUT, aspirin (ASA) can cause stomach problems, so chose your meds wisely. I got liver damage from Tylenol years ago before I finally got on the right pain meds. I HATE that doctor that didn't believe my pain level!!!! And I blame HIM for my liver damage. I was taking over 4,000 mgs (?) of Tylenol a day when the MAX is 2,000!!!!! You have to worry about your sinus meds and arthritis meds if they throw in Tylenol as well. It all adds up.

Caryn, you've been lucky to have been immersed in technology in a schooling environment. Once I left that it was only my sister who lived in the US that kept us up on the latest. She always bought whatever new came out and kind of led us her way. My first word processor at work was the size of a small fridge turned on it's side. It was HUGE!!! I was at that company when they changed to PCs so was lucky enough to get that training. I can't imagine what the future holds!! I remember when fax lines came out and I couldn't wrap my head around how a picture could get transmitted by a phone line.......

Selena, fantastic picture! 

I am so over this winter...It was 80 Saturday, almost 70 when I went to bed Saturday night. It was 25 yesterday morning, dropping all day & sleeting. 17 this morning, and still icy & all the schools are closed, so I'm home on what should have been my next-to-last day at my job. I'll be damned if I'll risk wrecking my car the week before I'm to start a new job though.

Dallas is huge & sprawling. I have worked the biggest part of my adult life in one section of town. The new job is in a completely different area & direction. I have to find all new shopping & service providers. On the bright side, it is in the heart of Asian "country". Tons of very cool Indian, Chinese, Vietnamese & Middle Eastern restaurants & markets, so that will be fun.

Sunny, I do think there's a limit to how much cold wild critters in the U.S. can take. They're not evolved to survive these arctic temps. That said I haven't seen any bodies in my front or back yard. A few days ago there was much flying and scurrying around. But after dipping down to -15 last night the little guys are still holed up. Tomorrow we get a heat wave up to 42! WOOHOO!!

We did have a big bird die off in January I think. One particular area of south Dallas or was it Ft Worth. Noted it was due to starvation. We had that week of ice in December. I see lots of buggies out now, moths and things. I fear our local peach crop may be gone, my trees had faint budding.

OOOooooohhhhhhhhhh.......the eagles are back.  I watched one pair last year, can't remember where they were, near a fish farm, I think, and I was honestly, full disclosure, ADDICTED to watching the chicks grow up.  AWESOME, an over used word ( darn those teenagers) but truly, truly, life enhancing.  Those eagles are SUCH GOOD PARENTS..we ( our society) could learn a lot from them....

book marked the eagles - I'll be back when they fledge   I wonder what ones I was watching last year? Think they were in CA?  Oh, for the days of being able to remember things....

Explains it, I think I watched a pair in CA last year....one of the chicks was named Stormy, the other Kyle ( I think) - truly amazing to see how fast they grow.  Think there's a pair in ME online too....seems so early for eggs, but then it is March, tho one wouldn't know it in the north East.

I thought so too Sunflowers.

Lupita was rather stunning, I thought. Definitely the favorite of the Flat&Fab.

Speaking of Brad, Angie and Lupita, this (bad taste, but still funny) was going around FB:

Kim Novak is still alive? 

ETA: She is 81! No way I am trying to look like a blonde bomb shell if I make it to 81. Heck, I am not even trying now.
