Grandpa's bathroom...

Yep, he sure had it figgered out. Kinda messy though.

Hilarious!!

Here's a computer story that you won't believe...

Actual dialogue of a former WordPerfect Customer Support employee.
(Now I know why they record these conversations!):

Operator: 'Ridge Hall, computer assistance; may I help you?'
Caller: 'Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect.'
Operator: 'What sort of trouble??'
Caller: 'Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words
Went away.'
Operator: 'Went away?'
Caller: 'They disappeared'
Operator: 'Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?'
Caller: 'Nothing...'
Operator: 'Nothing??'
Caller: 'It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type.'
Operator: 'Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out?'
Caller: 'How do I tell?'
Operator: 'Can you see the 'C: prompt' on the screen?'
Caller: 'What's a sea-prompt?'
Operator: 'Never mind, can you move your cursor around the screen?'
Caller: 'There isn't any cursor; I told you, it won't accept anything I
Type.'
Operator: 'Does your monitor have a power indicator??'
Caller: 'What's a monitor?'
Operator: 'It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV.
Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on?'
Caller: 'I don't know.'
Operator: 'Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where
The power cord goes into it. Can you see that??'
Caller: 'Yes, I think so.'
Operator: 'Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's
Plugged into the wall.
Caller: 'Yes, it is.'
Operator: 'When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that
there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just
one? '
Caller: 'No.'
Operator: 'Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and
find the other cable.'
Caller: 'Okay, here it is.'
Operator: 'Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into
the back of your computer.'
Caller: 'I can't reach.'
Operator: 'OK. Well, can you see if it is?'
Caller: 'No.'
Operator: 'Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean
way over?'
Caller: 'Well, it's not because I don't have the right angle -- it's
because it's dark.'
Operator: 'Dark?'
Caller: 'Yes - the office light is off, and the only light I have is
coming in from the window.'
Operator: 'Well, turn on the office light then.'
Caller: 'I can't.'
Operator: 'No? Why not?'
Caller: 'Because there's a power failure.'
Operator: 'A power ... A power failure? Aha. Okay, we've got it
licked now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and
packing stuff that your computer came in?'
Caller: 'Well, yes, I keep them in the closet.'
Operator: 'Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it
up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to
the store you bought it from.'
Caller: 'Really? Is it that bad?'
Operator: 'Yes, I'm afraid it is.'
Caller: 'Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?'
Operator: 'Tell them you're too stupid to own a computer!'

Questions for a Monday...

Sunday night, congress approved Health Care despite overwhelming polls showing the American public did not want this bill. I have questions...
1. Supposedly the bill provides health insurance to 32 million people that can't afford it. Yet the bill states we'll be fined if we don't have health insurance. How does that work??
2. How can we possibly be asked to start paying for this thing now, when it doesn't take effect until 2014?
3. Is this bill constitutional?

Email me your answers... I'm very curious.

Thursday was a very sad day...

Fess Parker died Thursday. Davy Crockett, Daniel Boone... he was both, to me and millions of people. Like so many other kids back then I had a coonskin cap and a toy flintlock rifle, and couldn't wait for the next episode of Davy Crockett on Disney.
And right after I heard about Fess, I got a call that my Grandma died. She would have been 102 on Friday... today. She raised ten kids and outlived five of them. And what a wonderful woman. I guess God wanted Davy Crockett to lead Grandma home...
Rest in Peace, I'll miss you both.

March Madness!!

It starts tomorrow! March madness - office pools - non-stop basketball on TV - and people moaning with every upset! It's crazy, right? But we all love it, and do it, and put our money on our picks... hoping this is our year! So, why is everyone picking Kansas?

Survivor Update - 3/12/10

What is up with the Heroes? Nobody in the group can put a puzzle together, and if Probst keeps including them in the challenges the Heroes are doomed! Nice thinking CBS! (NOT)
So last night we got to watch the Heroes acting like villains and sure enough, they voted the only real Hero out of the game... Tom. Goodbye Tom, you we will miss!

More great ideas for spring fixups!

Actually, the idea for showing these pictures is like those great home remodeling magazines... in reverse. Yup, in typical Keith fashion these are the things you should NOT DO!

Spring Fix-ups... things NOT to do in the shower!

It's almost spring... time for spring cleaning and fix-ups. But what I'm showing here are definitely things to avoid if you're improving your shower!
Actually, it's really hard to believe people did these things!!
Adding a light.... adding a sink... adding a recessed shower head... why???

Survivor Update... 3/4

Heroes VS Villains is definitely getting interesting. Immediate questions arise... Why do the villains seem to be able to win all the immunities? How the heck are Russell, Tyson and Coach still in the game (do their teammates actually trust them??)?? And how is it that the heroes... AKA the good Guys... can't get along?
Tonight I was starting to worry about two favorites... Tom and Colby. But then a couple things happened. Cirie started calling people stupid (a tried and true way to get to the exit quickly), and JT started to think about what he really wanted rather than what his alliance wanted. And sure enough, out the door goes Cirie. So there you are... and bye bye Cirie, we won't miss you.

Summer's almost here!!

Yup, we can finally see the furry little animals moving around in the woods as the snow melts...
