Seems to be Biden his time

This intrigues me. A manager makes a smart ass comment, our vice president calls him on it and now Biden is the bad guy. See this Yahoo news story It is my opinion if you are going make smart ass remarks you should be able to be called such. I guess Scott Borkin is getting his fifteen minutes.

New meaning to Jet Setting.

Here is an interesting story I happened upon. Thanks to Yahoo for this story. Boeing 747 LINK

as the walls come tumblen down

Well, not much moving on the stairs right now, but a lot of wall damage to report. Sure is opening things up. And found some more beeUteeful wallpaper.

Who's on first

You have to be old enough to remember Abbott and Costello, and too old to REALLY understand computers, to fully appreciate this. For those of us who sometimes get flustered by our computers, please read on...

If Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were alive today, their infamous sketch, 'Who's on First?' might have turned out something like this:

COSTELLO CALLS TO BUY A COMPUTER FROM ABBOTT

ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?

COSTELLO: Thanks I'm setting up an office in my den and I'm thinking about buying a computer.

ABBOTT: Mac?

COSTELLO: No, the name's Lou.

ABBOTT: Your computer?

COSTELLO: I don't own a computer. I want to buy one.

ABBOTT: Mac?

COSTELLO: I told you, my name's Lou.

ABBOTT: What about Windows?

COSTELLO: Why? Will it get stuffy in here?

ABBOTT: Do you want a computer with Windows?

COSTELLO: I don't know. What will I see when I look at the windows?

ABBOTT: Wallpaper.

COSTELLO: Never mind the windows. I need a computer and software.

ABBOTT: Software for Windows?

COSTELLO: No. On the computer! I need something I can use to write proposals, track expenses and run my business. What do you have?

ABBOTT: Office.

COSTELLO: Yeah, for my office. Can you recommend anything?

ABBOTT: I just did..

COSTELLO: You just did what?

ABBOTT: Recommend something.

COSTELLO: You recommended something?

ABBOTT: Yes.

COSTELLO: For my office?

ABBOTT: Yes.

COSTELLO: OK, what did you recommend for my office?

ABBOTT: Office.

COSTELLO: Yes, for my office!

ABBOTT: I recommend Office with Windows.

COSTELLO: I already have an office with windows! OK, let's just say I'm sitting at my computer and I want to type a proposal. What do I need?

ABBOTT: Word.

COSTELLO: What word?

ABBOTT: Word in Office..

COSTELLO: The only word in office is office.

ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows.

COSTELLO: Which word in office for windows?

ABBOTT: The Word you get when you click the blue 'W'.

COSTELLO: I'm going to click your blue 'w' if you don't start with some straight answers. What about financial bookkeeping? You have anything I can track my money with?

ABBOTT: Money.

COSTELLO: That's right. What do you have?

ABBOTT: Money.

COSTELLO: I need money to track my money?

ABBOTT: It comes bundled with your computer.

COSTELLO: What's bundled with my computer?

ABBOTT: Money.

COSTELLO: Money comes with my computer?

ABBOTT: Yes.. No extra charge.

COSTELLO: I get a bundle of money with my computer? How much?

ABBOTT: One copy.

COSTELLO: Isn't it illegal to copy money?

ABBOTT: Microsoft gave us a license to copy Money.

COSTELLO: They can give you a license to copy money?

ABBOTT: Why not? THEY OWN IT!

(A few days later)

ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?

COSTELLO: How do I turn my computer off?

ABBOTT: Click on 'START'......….…

Don't wall me in

Yesterday we spent a few hours tearing down the walls to the kitchen. Our troubles joined in the fun too, they loved busting up the walls. Well until little trouble decided to hammer his head. I didn't see what happened but he gave himself a little goose egg. A little bit of ice and a few minutes in dad's arms and he is doing much better. Just don't touch that one spot on his head.
We got a good portion done, it's gonna open it up quite a bit. This is one of the drawers from the cabinet next to the stove, fun with a sledgehammer. More pics to follow.

Did some tearing down of walls this weekend. Found that there was some really really awesome wallpaper before they put up the paneling.





















Kinda miss the paneling now.




And today they put up the sheetrock

Quit stairing at me. Part II

If you have every had stairs moved, the progress looks something like this

First let me give you the latest shot to match the previous ones.

Quit stairing at me.

Well after all the looking at houses we've been doing we finally decided to just stay here and change the things we don't like. For example move the stairs.

So here are pics of what has changed so far, they started on Monday.
This is what it looked like before in the living room.






Here are the pics after day two, three, and four (today). Can't wait for the completed project.
