  • Stealing A Neighbor's Internet

       I screwed up and overshot the allowable download limit on our Hughesnet account today.  Suffice it to say, the Beast gave me this *gadget* that looks like it's an old model card reader since he seems to have lost our good (new) one.  We both searched all his gear and it was nowhere to be found.  He probably left it at one of his brothers homes.  *sigh*

    The type of files that it converted the photos I was trying to take off one of my cameras was strange.  Microsoft told me that I needed a certain kind of converter download.  So, I go to the site (non-Microsoft) and end up paying almost $40. since it also can fix broken files.  I know Microsoft has told me that I've had broken files from time-to-time so I thought *What the hell....let's get it*.  Well, after it scanned all my files, it found 51 broken files of various types so it said I needed to download these OTHER files to fix them (free ones).  I just went crazy and said download them all!  But I forgot to look at how big the darn things were.  :(   I did, however, finally get the pictures downloaded and into the proper folder).  So....I am going to show you the pictures I promised...oh, heck...quite a while back.  These are just two pictures (that came out halfway decent) of Tonto and Tara's little guy from the day I babysat him while Tonto was in the hospital the first time.  Here we go:

                              Isn't he a cutie?

    I am going to cut this short because, as I said in the title of this post, I am currently piggybacking on my neighbor's internet.  They are asleep so they won't notice.  I just hope they don't have Hughesnet, too.....ROFL.

    Love you all.  Have a great day and I should be back tomorrow stronger than ever....I hope.
