Not a fan of change

Why does everyone think they need to change things on the Internet.  First my email changes the setup.  I really didn't feel like there was anything wrong with the old way, so it takes me forever to figure it out and get used to it.  Then my online banking changes their format.  Not happy.  Again it takes time to get used to the new setup.  I will admit I am not smarter than a fifth grader when it comes to computers.  And now to top it off blogger has changed  how they do things.  I like simple.  I don't like change.  I just got an email saying they are changing my email set up again.  You're killing me people.

for my own defense

OK so what happened with my pictures is that the memory card was in the computer and I was loading pictures on my blog awhile ago.  Anyway one of the kids must have bumped it (of course it was not me) and the prongs in the computer got bent, so something weird happened and the pictures on the memory card disappeared.  I go online and look up a memory recovery site called cardrecovery.com and I can find the pictures on there, but they want $40 for the software and that seems a little high, so that is when I thought there has to be someone out there who has done this and I can either borrow it from them or go to there house and use it, but then I was violently attacked and made fun of for not backing up my computer, which is clearly not the problem :) So can anyone save me $40?

Trivia Question

Lexi is working on a logging presentation at school, so yesterday she had four girls, who are in her group, come over to work on the project.  She comes up to ask me "What year did Washington become a state?"  I say, "I have no idea." She looks at me funny and then says mockingly, "you really don't know?"  Like I'm some sort of idiot.  So tell me do you know?

I might have threatened this before...

I just read this in the Bellingham Herald:
Ind. man arrested with 4 kids strapped to car hood.  A witness called police Monday evening after seeing a man and woman using a tow strap to tie the children to the car in a liquor store parking lot and then drive away.  The man had a blood alcohol content of .17, more than twice Indiana's legal limit for driving. (amazing what alcohol can do to your judgement)
I of course was just kidding when I threatened to do this to Hunter, but it is good to know that you can be arrested for it :)

Just a little rant

Facebook drives me nuts.  I don't have an account, but I do look a bit through my brother in law's account, which I know is basically the same as having an account, kind of like people who say they don't have "TV", but watch a movie every night on a TV through netflix or a whole season of their favorite show in one week they just don't have cable they still have TV. 

I guess I just don't understand what some people are thinking when they do a status update or even when they comment or like some things.  When someone posts they just got divorced and then they get a record amount of likes and comments that say congratulations, my jaw basically hits the desk.  I'm like what are you people thinking.  Have you not ever witnessed what a divorce does to a family.  Well first of all it breaks it up.  Kids then have a "mom's house" and a "dad's house"  how unnatural is that.  So not only is it unnatural living circumstances for the children, but everything else that goes with it.  Every other holidays and birthdays.  Hoping for the rest of your life that your parents will get back together (which I know several adults who still talk about their parents getting back together just so hopeful and not realizing it is never going to happen).  And then there is that dreadful day that you have to watch your mom and dad fall in love with someone else who is not your mom or dad.  I have seen the pain with children of divorce and my heart aches.  I have seen how it has affected my own kids who are just related and not living it and how confusing and emotional it is for them.  Hunter used to say all the time "you know what I really wish is that they would get back together."  So is there a dislike button because that is the button people should be hitting.

And another thing I don't like about facebook while I'm on the subject is that people can drop you as a friend.  Talk about Jr. high all over again.  I'm pretty sure this would hurt my feelings.  I just can't believe that people would do that and still feel comfortable seeing that person like nothing happened.  It's crazy people I tell you.

OK so that's it.  Sorry if I have offended, just the one time I couldn't keep my mouth shut.
