***Once again my laptop is wonky. Now I have an idea of what the problem might be.  I have an HP laptop and therefore if I see an HP update notice, I automatically click on it. As soon as I do, my Adobe programs don’t work consistently. That means no video links, no games, no blueprints sent to the business….UGH! Then I tried to update Adobe and it tells me I cannot load a GUI. I don’t even know what that is!!  So…How do I know what HP update is legit for me? FML.

***I had a few plants that were too big for the pots that they were in. They were actually starting to die because of it. So I went to Home Depot and got some potting soil and started to redo them. The biggest one, I put into a punch bowl to let the roots grow a bit. But a smaller one, I repotted. The next day, I noticed that I had gnats here and there in the house. I assumed that it was because of standing water with the plants.  I put out some balsamic vinegar to get rid of them and finally got around to repotting the big plant. I set up my gear and opened a brand new bag of soil. Fucking gnats came out of the bag! It wasn’t the water, it was the soil! FML.  (Got rid of the gnats, but still….)

***I can’t find my ear buds. I miss watching movies on the laptop and listening to my ipod. FML.

***My dog has stinky gas. My dog only wants to sit right up next to me. I gotta get up and move NOW to escape!! FML.

***I guess that means that’s all for today.

    although, your computer problem would make me smash the computer on the sidewalk. you have more problems with that thing than you actually get to use it.

    teri-The problem mostly lies with me, I’m sure. I know nothing about computers except what I have learned on my own or what I have seen others do in front of me. If Babygirl didn’t do things so damn fast, I’d be able to see EVERY step!! :)

    My desktop died a couple of weeks. It was his time. So I got a new laptop. Yesterday I put a CD in and nothing happened. So I hit the EJECT and there was no CD there. I seriously wondered if I just imagined putting the CD in. But no. My new laptop eats CDs. Whatever makes it happy.

    Well, my soil tip from earlier (or later, I suppose) only helps if Home Depot sells you gnatless soil!

    Lynda- I bought two bags at the same time. I used one right away with plants that I had growing roots in water. Another plant was kinda dying and the soil was old so I let it sit in water for a couple of days. When opened the second bag, they flew out. But by that time, they had already been all over from the first bag. Ugh! Pain in the ass. I still have a couple. :(
