Computer repair and POLITICS

This is lsie Mae's grandma resting on the trail, in 2005

This is Elsie Mae, I swiped the picture off facebook. It was worth going to FB for this and more pictures plus pics of her dad.

Today's life changing entries!!!!

I have to give HP some credit. I took this system into Best Buy and the Geek looked at it and said “the hard drive is bad. You need the orig disks. And your receipt.”
Says I, “ Don’t have them.”
He says, “Can’t do anything without them.”

Called HP. I went over their conversations a couple entries back. Long and short they sent us a box. Last week we sent it to them at their cost. Seven days later it is back and I have uploaded most of my programs and some pictures. This Sucker went to Irving, TX, was fixed, and sent back in seven days. I would have had to wait three weeks for the Geek.

POLITICS!

There are politicians I have felt sorry for:
The first I remember was Jimmy Carter. I wished at every news conference he would say, “Folks, my brother Billy is not the President, I don’t care if he has his own beer, I don’t even care if he makes it, that is his problem, I am president, not Billy!”
I felt sorry for Mr. Muskie (even though I did not care for him as a politician) but the press had been unmerciful. He cried at a news conference and said,”leave my wife alone”. He left the race, broken hearted.
One of the greatest politicians and business men was George Romney. He made the statement “I was brain-washed.” Referring to the senior military feeding him canned info, not real. The press hounded him out of the race for that statement.
Now, I am feeling a little sorry for a Republican. I don’t know the whole reason behind Palin’s resignation; we might in a week or so. It might be just what she said. She too is not my favorite politician, but I have felt sorry for her. A lot of ethics charges, of which she was cleared. She has defended some petty cheap shots. Making fun of her daughter (s) and then a cheap shot at the child Chip, shows little to no tact. If you have ever had children, you know there is just so much you can do as a parent.
Maybe the term, “if you can’t take the heat, stay out of the kitchen” applies. But maybe the kitchen was on fire, who knows? Now the folks, who said she should quit politics and raise her family, can rest easy. I never thought that argument had much validity since most mom’s work now. But some like to throw that around. I am sure she won’t be a stay at home mom for long. My girl worked after the boys were in school herself, and was a good mother. Most of the mothers on the net, work.

No, I think the press goes too far. I think there are too many reporters with nothing to do and they must make stories happen. Just once, after one asks a question of a father leaving his son in jail, "Your son was arrested for three murders, how do you feel about that?”
I would really love to see a reporter flattened. But then the other reporters would show it over and over again and the man would look like a wild man. So they have to say, “No comment” and try to walk away.
Enough of this rambling, thanks for coming by
