True! I have delved into the innards of my last couple, replacing parts etc. Sometimes it worked fine, sometimes the @%#&!(*)!$ thing pissed me off for hrs until I could get it to work right.

Nope, it was a Commodore 64!
(Weirdly, the best computer screen for me for doing word processing, for years was the screen on the Commodore Pet! Nice, sharp letters. Commodore down-graded their graphics on the models after that so that their customers could use their televisions as monitors. I think that the notebook computer I bought earlier this year might actually be close to the old Pet in crispness of letters. Finally.)
TPBM also learned to type on a Selectric typewriter!

False. I'm not able to go this year, so I have no big plan. Just wait til 2010, though!!! Is this the part where I throw my body down on the ground, pound my fists, and I scream real loud and cry?? Oh. Okay. Good. *throws body down on the ground, pounds fists, screams and cries* I'm thinking maybe I'll make a Man out of popsicle sticks, maybe a Mrs. Man too, and 50,000 popsicle stick Burners. I could take a Sharpie and write folks' names on the sticks. Then I will burn them on Burn Night this year. And I shall call it ART!!!
TPBM likes cherry popsicles the best.

I have this horrible dawning knowledge that I may have outgrown drink this year. And I never got to have a dissolute youth.

No, but I am creating Art nonetheless.
I believe that Nature has many canvasses for us to paint upon.
I had some river rocks adorning my garden, looking rather bare.
My latest obsession as a GrannyPoo is making things colorful for baby boy.
DUH. He loves my/our garden of flowers. He loves monsters and zombies.
Soooo....I am painting Monster Pet Rocks. Yay!
TPBM likes monster movies.
