Sorry

Wow... my poor, poor neglected blog. I have been remiss in keeping it updated. Not that I don't think about doing it everyday- but then when I think about what to put into words, I am torn between having everything and nothing to bitch about... and then I don't.

It's tax season. I had been anticipating this year more than any other, for this was the year I was going to get my china cabinet hutch dealio from a local furniture store... said reatiler has fallen off the face of the planet. I guess they went out of business. I have looked at other ones, and found them to not only be really ugly euro trash styled- but insanely expensive. The bulk of the Uncle Sugar money will be socked into savings, as planned- to prepared for the move- and a small portion will be used to get me a new computer. As it is now, I use the "family" (that is to say husband's) comp- or "borrow" my son's, etc. At least the ones we have now are apple, and not microsucks winblows.

Problem being of course that for me to get a new one we will be stuck with AAFES (unacceptable) or jumping through hoops to get one shipped here from the states. You can scroll back though the archives to find my experiences with Dell. It was 2 weeks of hell dealing with those fucktards, and I am not anxious to go through that again. Not even a little bit... as much as I am not looking forward to this who north dakota thing, I am about fed the fuck up with being here too.

Anytime we want or need something we have to either rely on AAFES, the unreliable, or wade through a river of shit to get it, or of course there is always "tough shit, live without it" as a third option. As much as I used to bitch about how much money I used to spend at Walmart... I am looking forward to walking into one when we get back. Oh, and a Denny's... Now we all know no one ever GOES to Denny's- you end up at Denny's... but won't it be glorious to get something to eat at 1 a.m., or on a Monday afternoon- as there are no "rutag" days.

Yeah, I am "red'ta'go". I'll update on the pursuit of a computer system.... I am most certain it is not going to go well, as it seems we are already hitting walls with HP. At least the representatives there are Americans. It's a start.

Find one on E-Bay, send it to me and I'll forward it just like always. Problem solved !!!.. The Post office see's me coming and cringes anyhow, so another G5 to Germany won't surprize them. Besides I've almost got the address memorized now. :-)

So when do you come back to the states? It's probably worth the wait? I mean, unless you have some huge project you're doin. :)

It will be interesting to see if you'll be scarfing down fastfood when you move back here.
Hey, I wonder if a spammer has ever typed "suck it spammers"? Heh, that would be an oxymoron, right?

Take care of you & yours.
