For the last month or so, every so often when I would turn on my Dell desktop computer, it would not fully boot up. It would start the process and then go to a blank screen. Usually when that happened it would take two or three attempts before the computer would finally come on. Then, […]
Sometimes, no matter what you plan, life gets in the way. Yesterday was a good example. I really wanted to get a minimum of 5,000 words done in my new John Lee Quarrels book, Sweet Tea And Jesus. But as it turned out, that wasn’t going to happen. When I sat down at my desktop […]
Whether you are spending today at home with family or in an RV park somewhere sharing a community meal, Terry and I want to wish everybody a happy Thanksgiving. Life has its ups and downs for all of us, but over all we have been very blessed, and we are thankful for that. When we […]
I spent most of yesterday dealing with computer issues. I started out deleting any personal files from my old Asus old laptop, which is going to a good home, and getting it boxed up and ready to ship out. As I said a couple of days ago in a blog titled Frustration City, when I […]
Yesterday was a busy day for us, starting early and ending late. And we’re looking at a lot more of them before we’re done. I spent several hours printing out mailing labels, and Miss Terry was slapping them on envelopes as fast as they came out of the printer. We use Stamps.com to print our […]

I wish I had something new and exciting to write about in today’s blog, but right now I’m in my plow horse mode, just plugging away to get the new issue of the Gypsy Journal ready to go to the printer early next week. This is the mundane part of our job, and while we […]
Gee, I miss one day of watching the evening news and I miss everything! The war on terrorism is over, the economy is no longer in the toilet, fuel prices are down, stock prices are up, and all of the illegal aliens have gone back south of the border. It must be true, because every […]
I spent most of yesterday setting up my new computer, loading all of the programs I use into it, and transferring projects I had been working on from my laptop to the new desktop unit. Even though the laptop and the desktop are both Dell computers using Windows XP, there were still enough things that […]
I wrote a blog about being techno challenged a while back, and said that I rely on Jim and Chris Guld from Geeks on Tour whenever I get in over my head with computers and my websites, which happens on a regular basis. Well, the gremlins that live inside all computers launched an attack the […]
