thank you
wow, trying so hard to find a good link for kulay.

cant find a direct link to advocate in nc
I should buy a solid state drive too. Daz Studio, Poser 9, Vue, Gimp and Open Office load slowly from 7,2000 RPM my hard drive.
....yeah, reminds me of this:
...was supposed to arrive yesterday but now won't be here until Tuesday thanks to the holidays messing with shipping times, bah, humbug!
My library and runtime will still be on a 7,200 RPM HDD (can't afford a 2 TB SSD), but at least the system will start up and programmes will load a lot quicker.
I feel sick but I do not know why. I want to go home, but part of me does not want to go home.
...from what you have been mentioning, I don't blame you. Maybe that could be part of why you are not feeling as stress has a lot of negative side effects.
SSD is better for data. Loading these programs depends more on memory and what hooks they load into memory. Loading data is extremely quick on an SSD, though. But be sure you have a backup. They don't last as long as conventional hard drives. Each time an SSD writes or reads it causes a tiny bit of damage, so they fail quicker. Not saying they won't last a year, of course, but it's better to be safe with your data.

Non-complaint: After two days of snow and another day of freezing temperatures I finally forced myself to leave my porch, use a broom to shove off two feet of snow from the trunk of the car so I could get the snowshovel out. Then I removed the three feet of packed snow behind my car where the driveway snowplowing had left it. Being pooped, I dragged myself back into the house to recover. The next day I again bundled up and took my shovel back out to the car and shoveled a path along the driver's side all the way to the front and threw all that snow up onto the side of the hill at the far end of the parking area. Having achieved access to the interior of the car I got in, started it up and backed it a few feet so that I could clear off the front hood and windshield. Now with the ability to see,
I jockyed the car around in the parking lot until the passenger side of the car was away from the snow drift that was half way up the windows and finally shoveled the snow from the passenger side of the car and part of the pile on the top. Digging out took two days and a total of 2 hours of slow paced work with several minutes of rest for my poor heart between each minute of exertion. When the car was finally ready I drove out onto the road hoping the rest of the snow on top would fall off if i sped around a corner. 
It didn't. 
So somewhere during my uptown chores I completed the snow job and left my 2 cubic yards of snow in some parking lot. However, the car is remarkably clean. Shoving snow from a car apparently takes all that underlying dirt with it. 
Complaint: With all that exercise I have rediscovered muscles that had hadn't ached this bad in years. Well, at least one year.
And today is only the day after the exercise. Muscle aches are always worst on the 2nd day after the exercise. Tomorrow will not be a fun day.
'Nother complaint: Contrary to weather predictions, today was above freezing, and now tomorrow will be in the 50s. So if I'd just waited much of that work would have been unnecessary.
Mental hygiene sounds like something you'd need to practice if you'd developed a gutter-mind. (Hi there, TigerAnne.)
Wow, I don't visit this thread for a couple of days and all hell breaks loose...
Miss Bad Wolf gets exiled to Florida, Leather Gryphon gets snowed in and is besieged by angry yetis, Kyoto Kid gets a SSD for his killer robot project, Chohole took a train to Hogwarts, DanaTA was giving away free puppies, and Mystarra was locked up for robbing a bank...
In all honesty, I really only skimmed through that on my phone and a large dog was gnawing on me at the time, but that's what I took away from that...
I should probably re read those last two pages because I think I may not have followed that with complete accuracy.
Non-complaint: Ever feel like you're on a march to the scaffold? Here's some travelling music for your short walk, to the short, sharp, shock.
"March to the Scaffold" segment (7 minutes) of the "Symphonie Fantastique" by Berlioz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4T9rr-tmd0
Note: Interesting story to this composer and composition. Something to do with an opium dream, marital troubles, witches and hangings.
Am humming, It never rains in California but lord don't you know when it pours it pours. Salt water pool overflowed and washed neigborhood side walks (if I was still in Canada I'd have written neighbourhood) so much for PH levels etc. Hello alae. The worst part is I lost a Goudian Finch and a miniature owl (urrrggg) in my outside aviary. As always, trouble comes in threes and this is minor compared to the bird issues, but the christmas present I ordered for hubby came watersocked and damaged from Bestbuy and they can't send a new one because they're out of stock. Can you believe this box? No side was undamaged. Merry Grinchmas. The last picture is of 3 of the 6 feral (now semi-feral) cats that drool over guard the aviary.
That's a beautiful space, lovely cats, and a terrible box.
Close enough!

Miss Bad Wolf’s getting shipped back to North Carolina tonight.
...
How did it get to be Dec. 2nd already?
One day at a time for 13.4 billion years.
Using current values for day/year?
Complaint: It's a wet but non-threatening-to-freeze day and it's Sunday.
I have a hankering to go to Erie, PA (60 miles) for a mini-adventure and lunch at Outback Steakhouse. 
Erie during the week and Saturday is miserable driving on Peach St. which is Erie's "franchise row". Traffic out the wazoo. 
But on Sunday, driving more than one third traffic light at a time on Peach St. is actually possible. In fact sometimes you can get through two or three traffic lights at a time or even all the way down the hill to the big mall. 
I haven't been to Erie in a long time. I want some of Outback Steakhouse's filet & sweet potato & brown sugar and hot dark moist brown bread. 
I also want to go to Barnes & Noble bookstore there, it's the only bookstore left in the area within 60 miles of me. 
It's three weeks before Christmas. My driveway is now essentially free of snow, having melted in the rain 90 percent overnight to mock my muscle aching efforts to dig out my car when it was still 2 and 3 feet thick. 
This may be the last time weather will permit me a trip to Erie this winter. But my budget is thin and I'm trying to be a good boy for another 3 weeks. Bah humbug! 
Non-complaint: But as I feel the walls of my too familiar apartment close in on me I think I'll go anyway.
I'll do some DAZzing when I get back.
Complaint Netflix and the train WiFi are not seeming to cooperate at all. Not on my iPad nor the computer.
dreary rainy soggy day out
just the right kinda day for a cuppa tea and a still life render
do they ever ring the Liberty bell? wondrin what sounds like?
church bells electronic these days?
I'm assuming you are traveling via Amtrak... I have to say I wish you a better experience than I've ever had.
Having traveled a few times via this form of rail based conveyance, and having grow up using the NYC subway system, I have to say that my personal experiences on Amtrak wasn't much nicer than the subways.
But at least each experience was uniquely bad and worthy of interesting tales of terribleness... The last of which involved my wife and I traveling from Nebraska to New York via a non winterized train in a huge blizzard (apparently the train was meant to only operate in the Florida/southern region).
After having broken down (mechanical not stuck in snow) for 8 hours in Illinois and 9 in Ohio the train finally headed on to New York at a greatly reduced speed with no drinks or food and only a handful of working toilets (the rest were literally overflowing). When we go to New York, we had to wait about two hours for our bags to chiseled out of an ice packed baggage car because apparently at some point the baggage car doors were opened and couldn't closed because of ice, so they left the doors open in transit.
At the time we decided to travel via first class on the train because my wife had surgery and she couldn't fly... As a kid in India she loved taking train trips because it was a fun experience (the ones she took were apparently the older British style trains), and she was hoping to have a similar good time.
It wasn't.
Well, I hope your trip is better than any of mine... Good luck and safe travels.
No problems other than three issues. I vomited at beginning of the trip, but mostly into the toilet. I had to try to sleep overnight in coach. And finally their WiFi is slow and does not work well with Netflix.
4th issue is that I need a shower ASAP, but not sure if I am allowed to shower in the early afternoon as rules say night only showers.
Not in the uk, we still have bell ringers, my local church is looking for some new ones at the moment.
Aye, and it is such a lovely sound, whether one is or is not a churchgoer, especially on a cold snowy christmas morning.
Of course it can sound mournful as well, when the bells are rung in the sequence used as a funeral cortege approaches.
Yes, bad box, not fit for a cat. The second bad box in two days. The cuisinart box below was left in the rain,but under a covered front area out front. I guess a knock on the door, or ringing a bell, is too much to expect from a delivery driver these days. About the space, thanks, but I have ugly before pics and mind boggling during construction pics that would make you cringe. I'm still recovering from the reconstruction phase twitch-twitch-twitch. Maybe if I stopped inventing projects to change the place, it would help.
