What is this roman numeral OXI stuff?
Is that about the Greek debt?
Quoting: CuriousSeeker HAPPY SATURDAY ALL!!
Been busy, but TRY and keep up with reading the thread-even if I don't post!!
SIMPLE-you LUCKY Lady you!! Goodness than man is FINE!! Ok ok, a bit young for this "older" lady-but a little eye candy never hurts!!
Things been QUITE active today-wow!! I even have the seismograph drum on one of my "open" pages-occasionally sneaking a peak to make sure there's no new oceanfront property suddenly available!
I made me some Chana Dal today, going to *attempt* making some naan...but having an electric stove now, I just can't seem to get it to turn out edible. DAMN I MISS GAS!! Even the stupid oven has hot & cold "spots" when I bake cookies or cinnamon buns-some are burnt, others not quite done!! (Sigh)
Oh, just a bit of GOOD NEWS!! Until the fire last year, I've always had at LEAST 1 desktop & 1 laptop computer. I lost my desktop & extra external hard drives, laptop, netbook, iPad4 (brand new) and my old iPod in the fire. Although my former landlord had promised to replace everything-the only thing she "replaced" was the iPad, kind of. She apparently found this "used" iPad 2 on eBay and I've had nothing but problems with it. Heck, I don't even have living room furniture because my Dad yelled and screamed at me about not giving her "enough time" and forbade my attorney from going after her to replace at least SOME things-considering the insurance payout, benefit money (of which she told everyone in town I got 1/3 of-I never saw a penny of it), and donations (some of which had specifically been donated to ME-but because I was still in the hotel, she was going to "hold it" until I moved in here. I never saw any of it.). Anyways, I got screwed because I refused to lie to her insurance company-especially since they were going to charge me with obstruction. Unbeknownst to me, she'd told them I was "refusing" to be interviewed. Anyways, she committed insurance fraud, got away with it because by the time I found out they were looking for me-the evidence was gone; but because I refused to play along with her scheme-she screwed me over royally. And my Dad seems to have taken HER side, saying I should have just "done what she asked and not rocked the boat". He's 96 years old and has a SLIGHT problem with wanting to control my life.
ANYWAYS-I've been saving pennies AND my Uncle wanted to help-so I sent him what I had and he "surprised" me yesterday, sending me a receipt for a Dell Latitude 7Something!!! It will be here either Monday or Tuesday!! AND, a lady here in town that has a small thrift store says she has a printer I can have for $10-Brand new, still sealed in the box.
YAAY!! I'll be back in "business" making a little extra cash in no time at all!!
GOOD WEEKENDthis week for a change!! I'll be around-MIGHT break down and watch Sharknado 2 & 3....OR "LAVANTULA"-Giant Lava-breathing tarantulas come out of the Santa Monica mountains & head to LA!!
