Ramblings of Silver Blue

…just had a coworker in my office wondering why he coudln’t get XP drivers for his wireless keyboard and optical mouse. Seems the page he was at was for XP, but when he tried to click on XP on the side column, nothing happened. (Could it be because you were already there? LOL!!!!) Anyway, he’s [...]

I’ll be adding a Blogroll in the near future. Right now I’m trying to pare it down from the 30 to 40 I read a day. Should be interesting (at least to me).

This isn’t a rant, but something that made me smile today; in fact, it made me laugh quite loudly. I’ve declared that today is Non-Technology Oriented People Using their Comptuers Day. In honor of this festive holiday, I present you the following: View image The funny thing is that someone in administration (who shall remain [...]

If you’ve ever wondered why Roxette Bunny™ doesn’t have a partner to pal around with: So, she’s destined to be single and satisfied for life. And yes, she’s now a Trademark of her own. She also has her own AIM User Name, “RoxetteBunny” as well as her own email at roxettebunny@cox.net

In a weird mood this evening. Stopped off and saw Liz and Ivan at Holden Jewelers which always makes for a great time. They’re great people. See them for all your jewelry repairs, custom creations, etc. Went shopping at Lynnhaven Mall (bought an awesome shirt for this fall for $9.99 — designer Tommy Hilfiger!), and [...]

The latest, Barbra Streisand is suing someone for millions for publishing aerial photos of her home. The site, here, may have stepped over the line when it identified routes to enter her property and providing details on the residence’s features that can’t be seen from a public vantage point. That is an invasion of privacy [...]

Thigns that make today GREAT. 10. Sunshine for the 4th day in a row! 9. Knowing I cut HHA last night and won’t have to for a while 8. An unexpected bonus from work 7. Roommates who make good chicken pasta salad 6. Ebay packages that arrive from overseas intact in in perfect condition 5. [...]

…when you get an ultra-liberal or an ultra-conservative that they end up making an ass of themselves by thinking that their way of thinking is the only way that things can be handled? I’ve been reading various blogs of the “Ultra’s” and let me tell you this: it appears to me that I’m more middle [...]

I now know of a website, here, that is run by Ms. Tucker. She has purchased back the rights to both of her albums and plans on releasing them soon via her website.

Well, thanks to Dad, Ditech.Com contacted me and we’re refinancing my house. Sorry, National City Mortgage, but you just didn’t provide the kind of customer service I was looking for. After all, when you state you want to refinance and you hear back from an agent on 6/4, and email and call them repeatedly with [...]

Tonight, after Tink and I braved the tunnel and made it home, I proceeded to cut Hell’s Half Acre….now hopefully it won’t need done again for two weeks. We had an excellent dinner thanks to Dad, who provided the Hormel Roast Beef au jus. Dynamite! PR cut his 2 acres as well, as well as [...]

10. This only happens once a week 9. The fact my brain is functioning after a day at the OBX 8. The fact that I’m not you. 7. Nachos Supreme from Plaza Azteca 6. MP3s 5. This coming weekend I go to New Orleans 4. Roxette Bunny 3. The love I have for people, and [...]

I’m looking for two CDs by Louise Tucker, “Midnight Blue” and “After The Storm”. I know that both were available for a short period of time. For those who haven’t experienced Louise Tucker’s music (and “a project with Louise Tucker”), you really are missing out on a lot.

Thanks to CNN for reporting on a Sci-Fi channel special, “Out Of The Blue” which attempts to investigate what may or may not be out there. Now, to interject my own opinion: I don’t believe in “little green men from Mars,” but I also don’t believe that the Supreme Creator (call it God, Higher Power, [...]

Thinking back on this weekend, while Tink and I were going through the various music bins at thrift stores and flea markets, Tink made a deep observation: “I’ve never heard of most of these artists.” Since most of them were on CD, obviously a music company devoted time for production (if not for promotion). I’ve [...]

One thing I noticed as we took 168 down to the Outer Banks: the $2.00 toll per vehicle. Now, assuming that during the tourist season, from May-October, some 5,000 cars per day that 168. That’s a reasonable amount (and probably quite low). That’s $10,000 per day. That’s not counting those with speedpasses who live down [...]

The Roxette Bunny travel pages will be updated later today; it was a bit cold at the Outter Banks, and she was glad to be wearing fur. It’s a Monday, we’re getting back to typical summer temperatures with no rain in the forecast until….the weekend. Can’t complain about that, however.

Wow! Three nights of good sleep and it looks like I may finally be over my flu! Yipee! Today, first, Church. Then, off to Nags Head with PR and Roxette Bunny (we met up with Greg & Lisa as they drove through town last evening). I’ll prolly be back home late tonight, so figured if [...]

Tomorrow I head to Nags Head for the day. Yipee! For now, however, I’m making tea and going to have a lite dinner before taking my meds and heading to la-la land. Be well, gentle readers, and we’ll Blog tomorrow.

Things that have made today worthwhile: 10. Sunshine 9. Hormel Ready-Cooked Meals 8. New neighbours moving in who seem to be MUCH better than the previous stick in the mud idiots. 7. “Hot Donuts Now” from Krispe Kreme 6. Great Deals on Cherished Teddies 5. e-bay, where you can scoop up some great deals 4. [...]

Well, Tink and I hit several thrift stores and one big honkin’ flea market. Doesn’t seem to be much except junk and bootlegs. I did see VCD/DVD’s of the newly released “T3″, “Hulk”, “Dumb and Dumberer” and the latest Rugrats movie that are just in theatres. The vendor said he’d have “Legally Blonde 2″ in [...]

…and I come by it naturally. Completely naturally. You see, my item to collect happens to be CDs. I have thousands of them. I love music. I could do without Television as long as I had a CD player and an internet connection. My father collects the Lionel 027 gauge Chesapeake and Ohio trains. My [...]

….and what a shocker. It’s a Saturday, and the SUN IS OUT! I can’t get over this! I’m house sitting for the ‘rents, so my bedroom is my old room, with the black out drapes, and I’m excited that the sun is blazing in all its brilliance. Now, to go pick up Tink and go [...]

In case you can’t read the text: Everytime you mastrubate… God kills a kitten. Please, think of the kittens. I don’t know where I came by the photo and caption, or what the hell is chasing kitty, however, I do know I laughed myself silly the first time I saw it. I’ve taken cold medicine [...]

Ok, I’ve tried to be nice about it, but even staying indoors in all this moisture is causing me to frizz and curl. A bunny needs to look her best for the world, her adventures, and her fans. Guess it’s time to break out the Paul Mitchell Freeze-And-Shine. Next stop….NAGS HEAD!!!!
