@ Avani – Must agree with #2. I used to hate people like that, thinking they must know something I didn’t! Wow that seems a like lifetime ago now.

Last fall I switched to a mac desktop for similar reasons, still have a pc laptop, and no, mine don’t talk to each other either. I currently have a new wireless router I have not figured out how to use as anything but a paperweight.

A rock from the garden is a cheaper paperweight, so I will have to resume the battle in the interests of economy…

Thanks for the cheery uplift to the day!

@Mel T – Yep, we just ordered another due in July, so that should be fun!

@Evelyn It’s sorted now thanks and I look forward to hearing your list.

@Maqs I see you have had gym problems on Twitter. Have you ever tried anchoring?

I really should learn how to insert hyperlinks in here!

@Tim – Great list Tim and after spending yesterday out on my bike and by the pool I can whole-heartedly endorse #2

1. My Kids…they do the funniest things
2. The Florida Sun…whether I am sitting by the pool or working in the yard.
3. Fishing…(the old saying is true in my book)A bad day on the lake is better than a good day in the office.
4. Reading. I love to read
5. Woodworking. I am not very good at it, but it helps me relax.

We used to have dogs, and I remember well the pure joy that they would display at every opportunity! Now we have a cat, who can be aloof most of the time as only cats can be, but she betrays herself every now and then, like when we walk through the door and she’s waiting there purring so loudly that her entire little body vibrates :)

And you’re so spot on about working out! I did make it to gym this morning after literally dragging my feet – but, I feel great now :)

I know how it feels like to be frustrated over computers and getting things to work. I’ve got both PCs and Macs (belonging to my husband) at home and have to learn both. In reality, I’m quite an IT- idiot and somehow, these things often fail on me (maybe, I’m “attracting” them in my thoughts). It’s easy to want to hurl the laptop down from my apartment!!

I hope you get your Mac sorted out soon. Thanks for tagging me. Let’s see what I can say in my article….

I can totally relate to your number one point, having a dog. It’s unbelievably therapeutic, truly “man’s best friend!”

Great post!
