Even though I have never heard your rant about it, I just heard a very similar rant from my friend Megan whose (surprise!) motherboard also went down. When she did talk to a human being, they told her this problem is quite common. Fortunately, Josh talked her into getting the best warranty. I am going to send her the link to your rant so she knows she is not alone. I am signing in as Anonymous because I am on Josh's computer and I didn't want you to think I was him. The end of the school day is exhausting. Non-teachers cannot understand the intensity of that frazzled brain-dead state. All I can say is it gets a little (but never totally) better with time. I had a rough teaching day today because I stayed up super late watching Obama. He is amazing. You should watch his sappy infomercial if you get the chance. It made Josh get teary- definitely sappy but well-done sappy like a good chick flick. I think it'll be good for undecided voters. I then watched him on the Daily Show and then watched his midnight rally in Florida. Just couldn't get enough. Okay, that's enough from me. I still love reading your blog. You know you are not allowed to stop now, right? Your family and friends are depending on you for entertainment! Jean (Karpen) commented when we were there how much she likes it and how she never knew you were such a talented writer. OK- I am really going to go now. Stay in touch and let us know when you can Skype some weekend.<BR/><BR/>--Sarah KarpenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188923502160270744.post-6809442404139165162008-10-29T04:10:00.000-04:002008-10-29T04:10:00.000-04:00Mom-OF COURSE I WOULDN"T DRINK IN A SCHOOL!!!!!!!!...Mom-OF COURSE I WOULDN"T DRINK IN A SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They suck,...So, I can't help you on the dell front. They suck, they are part of the reason I switched to my mac. But I can say now that I am semigimpy as well because of a climbing incident. I was tied in and ready to do my first climb of the day and here I was looking down sequencing while Liz pulled up the slack. Well the end of the rope went right into my right eye and now I have a lovely scratched cornea, that hurts like hell and makes me one eyed at the moment. It's not too serious and should be better in a day or two (eyes heal fast). I apologize for any typos but I can't see well. It should be better in a few days but point 1 is I didn't even get to climb point 2 I had to go to the hospital and point three I was blowing of hw to go and now have been set back in hw and classes. So yeah, we are now one in our climbing issue (kinda).Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02887885776694579017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188923502160270744.post-48916389381841999242008-10-28T10:43:00.000-04:002008-10-28T10:43:00.000-04:00I recommend a mixed drink..... whiskey/rum and cok...I recommend a mixed drink..... whiskey/rum and coke works well (buy a 20 oz coke, drink some, then refill with booze-ahol). beer is just not strong enough to counteract tech support related annoyances! The only problem with this method is that you MUST make a detailed list of complaints/etc. (because by the time you finally make it through the 2000 hours of being on hold you may be quite intoxicated!!) <BR/><BR/>Much love kiddo, and good luck!!!<BR/><BR/>(I also recommend having plenty of stuff to fidget with while waiting as it helps with the urge to scream bloody murder)Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09676162248788572092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188923502160270744.post-67619349810071261322008-10-28T10:42:00.000-04:002008-10-28T10:42:00.000-04:00http://www.thailandguru.com/electricity-220volts-t...http://www.thailandguru.com/electricity-220volts-thailand.html<BR/><BR/>i dont know if you got this while i was online earlier but there ya go.
