You hear about it happening

[cornerofmadness]

BUt you never think it'll happen to you. Okay so I work late thursdays so that becomes prepackaged food night. Tonight I decided to try the Bush Homestyle chili in a jar (you know the one the cute Golden Retriever promo's). It's not bad. Sadly I couldn't find it here with just beans. While I'm a carnivore, and unrepentant about it, I hate ground beef but I figure a little won't be bad. Okay, this stuff actually tastes okay especially loaded down with cheese. I hit something hard and it hurts my tooth and I'm thinking oh great. a piece of gristle or something. THIS is why I hate ground beef. I spit it out and it's a ROCK. A freaking half inch stone! I'm beyond grossed out at this point.

ELD will tell you I'm an exceedingly picky eater and I don't eat that much to begin with. Now my appetite is GONE but my blood sugar was so low I can't skip a meal. I do cobble together a salad for dinner. And yes I AM writing Bush Beans about this. How vile.

And to top it all off, one file folder is now missing from my word documents. It was there this morning. I went to access it because it's for my writers group and my critiques are due tomorrow. It's GONE. It's not there. It's not in the recycle bin. Now, I CAN find if I run a search for it but not if I just go and look for it. I have several music video files like this. If I search for them I can find them. It says they're under my music but if you look there, you can't see them but they downloaded that way. HOW can a file that was there simply disappear?

Are you running Mac or Windows? Windows has a glitch that makes the machine think regular files are actually hidden files. I think they have some sort of program at the main site to fix that.

Grazie. It's Windows XP which has more freaking problems than I care to name. I found it. Somehow two folders were merged. NOw I didn't TELL it to do that but I'm not sure how it happened but at least I know where it is.

It's horribly flawed, but after you've had it, you just can't go back to 98/2000/Mac/whatever. Sigh.

Ew, that's just gross. I won't be buying that brand.

And I have cans of their beans in the pantry. I'm scared to eat 'em

A rock?

Ewww.. yep, definitely vile.

Now I have to go traipsing through your journal to see if I can find the Halloween fic challenge.

I'm not sure I have the halloween one up yet...no I don't. If you want to see my Lorne one I will. The half of the halloween one I DO have up is back a ways called Leaning on the Edge of E the chapter I did for Maren.

And yes it's vile. Actually it might be a huge hunk of bone I'm not sure. That's even MORE vile.
