Computers

I learned how to install an Ethernet NIC (network interface card) into my Windows ME computer and then connect it to a home network. (I still need to get an Ethernet cable to connect my new network capable printer so I can print from either computer.)

Its quite interesting trying to find software that actually works with ME. So why bother? Well, the computer was given to us by Kirk's great aunt when she got her new computer. Free is pretty good incentive to work with what you've got, lol.

Now I should be able to get more accomplished online, we'll see.

Laminin

A friend sent me this video and I had to share. Yes, laminin is real. Google it yourself.

Truth

"In the world it is called Tolerance, but in hell it is called Despair, the sin that believes in nothing, cares for nothing, seeks to know nothing, interferes with nothing, enjoys nothing, hates nothing, finds purpose in nothing, lives for nothing, and remains alive because there is nothing for which it will die."

Another Family Trip

It was a whirlwind two days and the kids had their first stay in a hotel, although none of us got much sleep. We were going to go camping but the weather made us make a change in plans.

We wanted a whole day at Carnegie Science Center, so we slowly worked our way there the day before. We drove, ate brunch at Eat n' Park, shopped at the Grove City Outlet Mall, drove, checked into The Red Roof Inn off the interstate, shopped at The Cranberry Mall, ate Wendy's for dinner, back to hotel room, watched some tv, and went to bed. Next morning; ate donuts for breakfast, got ready and packed everything up, drove into Pittsburgh (ah, the exhilerating stress of roadwork and messed up traffic), walked around until CSC opened in an hour, saw Heinz Field, walked along the Ohio River, and took pictues. Time for CSC, four floors of science and a submarine to explore. After experiencing everything we could, we started our very long drive home (we did break it up by stopping to eat dinner at Hoss's).

What Gives?

Its so quiet here right now. Everyone else is in bed and I have time all to myself.

I thought I'd do more *writing* by having a blog but it has basically just been a journal of our lives. As I go about my day I have all these thoughts come into my head and they would make good blog material except when I get on here, I can't think of anything to write. My mind goes blank.

{sitting here thinking}......................nope, nothing..........

I guess I'll just go to bed

Our Day

We learned quite a bit today. If you want to know more about horse dentistry you can check out this website. Oh, and if you think the smell of your own teeth being drilled stinks....

Here's a few pics from today, enjoy!

Ah, Noelle made a new friend :)


Open wide Pete


Feeling sharp edges that need smoothed


Kyle's favorite horse, Dan


Talking with the horse dentist


Lacey didn't have any dental work done so I enjoyed visiting with her.


She's for sale but I don't have the money. *SIGH*

Horse Dentist?

The kids and I are going to a friends horse farm to see this in action. We'll let you know more and hopefully post some pics later on.
