  1. Today I got a wooden splinter stuck underneath my fingernail, which came loose from the wooden floor. With some effort we managed to pry it loose. I've never had such a big splinter! It hurts a lot.

      Ouch! Be sure to watch for infection! That's a difficult place to tend to. Hope the soreness is going away.

  3. Saw this lovely quote, and knew y'all'd love it too. "Shelved rows of books warm and brighten the starkest room, and scattered single volumes reveal mental processes in progress -- books in the act of consumption, abandoned but readily resumable, tomorrow or next year". -John Updike, writer (18 Mar 1932-2009)

  5. I'm sad that I only started Wayward Pines like an hour ago, because if I had started on Friday I could have binged all weekend on the books and then the show. Oh well.

  13. I bought a HP pavilion laptop on friday, 1Tb, 8Gb and the DVD drive played up, so I took it back and got a refund 1/12/14. Do I buy another after finding out about this being a known problem, or do I buy something else?

  14. The new internet works now! I'm totally excited, it's actually faster than the old one and it's smoother! :D. The house phones don't work well yet unless I'm close to the receiver which is in an awkward place atm. Woohoo for faster internet :D :D :D!
