Still no progress on the domain.

Anyway, we are sitting in a Hotel in Lafayette, LA waiting on tommorrow's staff meeting. My wife has lined up a bunch of apartments to look at tommorrow, but she is keeping it from her family.

We went to Mulate's and had a good time with good food. Unfortunately we left $70 later. Next we went and basically drove across Lafayette and ended up, of all places, a Wal-Mart! At least some things never change. I hope my freakin' Domain gets resolved tonight! The guys at logjamming are supposed to be working on it. Next step is getting my new e-mail running as it sems I can't login to the webmail service at my domain, but e-mails sent to that address are forwarded just fine. I guess its not taking my password.

ANyway, I am off to bed and off to relax a little. Need to quit puilling my hair out over this domain.

Night.....

Well I got my own domain yesterday, www.seadoc.net
Its still not functioning. Why can't things go right for me the first time??

Anyway, hopefully I will be moving there in the next few days. I have this trip to Lafayette till Saturday so I doubt it will be up before then.
I was Really, really hoping to get the basics up tonight so I could post fromt he road to it, but I guess not :(

Anyway, I plan on running at least three blogs through it. A general Homepage, One on reptiles, and one on Tales from the streets.

I guess no one will here from me in a few days.

Bye.

Why is it I am supposed to carry the families weight on my shoulders and no one can make a decision without me??
For instance, my mother whom is 58, just decided to get back into Nursing. First off it was an almost daily torture. She called and e-mailed, and basically bugged me about whether or not she should do it. She had job offers, and couldn't decide on whether to take any or not (and she stated she didn't have enough money for another month's rent too). So I had to tell her my advice which was common sense "Any money is better than no money at all."
So she finally gets a job at a Nursing Home. She is an RN which puts her as more of a supervisor/admin person. Well She continues to bug me on mundane things like, What uniforms to get, etc. Now today, her first day in orientation, she calls me (once by phone - once via Messenger) to ask me which Shift She should take!!! For God's sake, I don't have to work it, she has too! I told her I love nights, but I didn't have to work it and so she should make her own decision!!

SIDEBAR: I am beginning to think one of the worst thing I could have done for me and the wife was to Build my Mother a computer and teach her how to use e-mail and Messenger!!

Anyway, I am getting rather tired of the family coming to me to make their decisions for them..

Anyone else have these problems?? Anyone listening?? Hello!?.................

Today I tried to get some errands done.. TRIED!!
What's up with Car dealerships? My check Engine light came on and since you can never figure out what is going on with that light I went by the shop.
The guy took my truck and came back 30 minutes later to tell me the EGR Tube was clogged and needed cleaning. He said it would take ~30 minutes.

Two and a half hours later and $78 poorer I left!! I spent 78 bucks to have some idiot run a Q-Tip down a tube! Whatever happened to Easily maintained vehicles? My 1978 Luv Truck (first car I bought - 1991) was easily maintainable and ran like a top even though it was missing a water pump and a buch of other "minor" stuff (thats a story in itself).

Anyway, needless to say I got nothing else done today.
Well I take that back.. I did manage to go to Home Depot and pick up some stuff to finish my smaller Igs cage and put it in. Took all of 30 minutes.. :)

If you have a Pocket PC check out Pocket Informant 3.0 by WebIS. Its a really awesome PIM replacement for Pocket PCs and its cheap to boot.

Well, I am off. Don't know who I typed this for, since no one has come by yet, but Enjoy and send me some site name ideas..

Quick Note today.
Although it seems I have NO READERSHIP! I will probably still set up a website of my own.

But unfortunately I am not very creative with name ideas. I thought about some names, and I am not sure Dark Minds fits well.
I would love to hear some suggestions for my site name (When I move it and get a domain)
So please e-mail me some suggestions if you have any.

It snowed here this morning, just some light flurries just to show you how cold it is, even in the Southern US.

Besides that its a slow Sunday, so enjoy the day.

Well I thought I would come and post before we went out tonight.
Went to do taxes today. That was fun! The old lady that was doing them for us was a little flaky, but at least we are getting $1500 back from federal.
Don't know what we are getting or paying state yet since my return there had to get booted up a level. (I have to pay two state returns cause I work in one state and live in another). Anyway, looks like I will get to pay off some credit cards this year. Yipee!!!

Also discovered the check engine light on my rodeo came on. An just before a long road trip.. uurgh!!
Also it took so long to do taxes (waited an hour and then it took another hour to do them) that grocery shopping was delayed a day. I hate grocery shopping on Sudays!
I would hate to be in line at H&R block near the end of the month, thats for sure!

Well off to enjoy a cheap Saturday night! Rented movies and fdinner out. Whoopee !!

Have a good evening....

SOMEONE PLEASE READ THIS SITE!! Its depressing not seeing any new readers on the counter. Am I that boring.. :)

Ok I made it home. Only took 7 1/2 hours today. I was pretty nasty this morning - Cold and windy. Harsh. I wasn't sure the choppers would even fly.
Needless to say, they did though. And the weather started getting better throughout the day.

One comment. All you Interstate Drivers Suck!! You're rude and think the only reason the interstate exists is for you to use, screw everyone else! Whats up with doing 55 in the fast lane and refusing to move? or cutting me or others off in your race to the finish? Be a little bit more polite, OK!?

Well, Since my kitten hasn't left me alone since I walked in and the Wireless AP is hung up, I guess I better go for now. Get ready to greet the wife when she comes home from work,

Have a great eveing all.
