Gross post....seriously.

I've got a neighbor who is up there in his years and lives his retired life across the street walking his dog Max and doing other retired-people things. Not the most computer savvy by any means, he found out I know a bit about computers and calls on me every once and again to install or maintain his computer that he bought a few months back. Sweet guy that he is, he returns the favour by buying me beer. Not just any beer mind you, but Guinness. That make it some expensive computer work, but apparently he has no qualms about it.

Which brings me to the gross part. I warn you now. If you don't want to know, don't read ahead. Just go google something else like perfume and rose petals.

I love my Guiness you see, but the Guinness doesn't quite love me back. It gives me quiet and deadly gas and makes certain wastes products smelllly and gross. I am not going into details, but I will mention that I usually have the urge to take a shower afterwards so as to feel totally clean again.

Speaking of Guinness by the way....**eyes shift in the general direction of the fridge**...

That's all for now, I've got some stuff to take care of in the fridge...Take care one and all !

Up and down....

So first off I'd like to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving. May all of your tables start full and end empty, and your bellies just the opposite.

Good news that I have is that cool weather is here. I finally have an excuse to wear the other half of my clothes - the few sweatshirts and jackets that I own - at least once in a while. Texas Renaissance Fair is going okay. I started with a job I didn't care for but a replacement was found, and now I am once again working for CrystalStix. Yay ! This season has been slow for faire attendance. The few days when there were a lot of patrons they were grumpy....except for this past weekend. Lots of people on Saturday and all in good moods.

Sad news from back home...A friend of mine that I grew up with found out Wednesday that her husband died in a car wreck. They had been married 4 years, and have two beautiful children - a boy and a girl. I am heading down home tomorrow (Friday), funeral services are Saturday. After I leave there I'm heading back up and driving up to fair. Everyone out there be safe these next few weekends. Sleep BEFORE you get behind the wheel, and drink after you're done behind the wheel.

On another plus, I bought a new camera that should hopefully be delivered early tomorrow. I'm impatient and want to test out it's battery life and features and stuff...

Til next time I post, be careful and I love ya'll all.
