Everything's fine

[cornerofmadness]

No it really isn't. About the only thing that worked out today was getting the tomatoes and peppers transplanted. KK and I talked about what to do for the Steam camp. I think I know what I'm doing but if anyone knows a good steam project for 5th graders let me know. I'm still in the planning stages.

I then made a dumb choice, the Chinese buffet. I don't know why. I'm not a buffet fan and yes I ate too much but in spite of having NO rice there had to be a lot of cornstarch and/or sugar in things because it fucked my blood sugar hard. More about that in a bit.

While I was down there I crossed over to Point Pleasant because I wanted to see this house. I think it's an amazing house. However I left a little heart broken. It's on the main drag which means it would be noisy and frankly it took almost 15 minutes to go 3 miles because it goes through the heart of town. It would also mean going over train tracks (I had to wait on the train) and over 2 bridges to get to work. And the side street had some of the tiniest poorest homes I've seen in a while. Sigh. But look at this house! She's a gorgeous old home.


I want to drive out to this house all the doors are hung upside down (look at the upside down crosses) and I want that outhouse. I might have shared this before.


So I got home and crashed. It was literally like did I fall asleep in my chair or go unconscious for a little while with how high my sugar was? Sigh. I got nothing else accomplished. Starting to feel a little panicked at that.

I did however manage to boot up that old laptop of mine and got off photos and video but it couldn't get online and I still have no access to discord. You could smell it overheating. I'm going to give it one more try to get more stuff off it before I give it to IT for disposal. Hopefully it won't literally meltdown before that.


And yes this does mean that there's no promised meta this tuesday either.

You can open up the laptop and pull out the hard drive - and you can get a wire to connect it to a usb port and mount it like an external drive. If the drive is still ok and it's the laptop that is overheating, then the drive should work find outside of the laptop to let you access it.

thank you. You'd think IT would have told me this. THe battery is outgassing and I know the thing has to be destroyed but all I wanted was to get in there and get the info off it

[spiffikins]

If the battery is the problem, you should be able to just remove it - it should just snap out - and then use the laptop normally as long as it's plugged in?

Something like this amazon link

Whenever I think of 'fine' these days, it's with Ruth Zardo's definition: Fucked up, Insecure, Neurotic, and Egotistical. *g*

That house is great! The fireplace, the built-ins, the sunroom, omg!

Your second house link goes to a post of yours from Jan 2019, but I didn't see anything about a house in it?

[cornerofmadness]

that definitely defines my version of fine

ugh try it now for the second house.

Isn't it a great house. WHY does it have to be on a main highway? Probably has mothmen anyhow. pouts

That is truly an awesome house and such a reasonable price!

Good Luck with your laptop. I'm fairly computer-inept so if anything goes wrong with mine I have to have someone look at it.

[cornerofmadness]

that price is actually very high for that area (we're talking houses the price of my SUV) but yeah it's a great house (fixed the other house link)

Well that laptop I've replaced I just want the stuff off of it I'm not good at this either
