| Mair and Pigmet 2005-12-17, 1:04 am |
| PIGMET: Do you think they will have forgottin us, since we been away for so
long?
MAIR: I don't think so, Met. They like us a whole lot. Anyway, they might
forget me, but they would never forget YOU!
PIGMET: hee HEE!
MAIR: And they are such nice people, they were worried while we were gone;
they wondered if perhaps I was having a lupus flare.
PIGMET: Butja wernt! And I wasnt eether.
MAIR: No, and I wanted to thank all the kind people who asked about
me--Sherry, Paulette and Jane; and to Shelagh and Bev for sending updates on
me. I appreciate that so much.
PIGMET: Yeah, what she said--me too!
MAIR: Should be tell them what happened?
PIGMET: Yahump! [that means yes]
MAIR: In a nutshell, though...
PIGMET: It sure won't fit there!
MAIR: Okay, well. Here's what happened: I had a noise like a blender
coming from my computer. Not a good sound. I opened up the computer to
find the fan on the CPU was wearing out. Not knowing any reliable tech
personally, I called someone out of the yellow pages. After all, we are
replacing a $5 fan here. Probably 30 minutes labor, tops. Ha ha.
Long story short: I was at the video store ranting about all this to my
friend who works there, and she immediately said "my husband works on
computers. We are going to get that computer back for you and fix it."
If we knew from the beginning that the whole guts were fried, I would have
had my computer much faster. But the evil tech had stolen the RAM out of my
computer, so we couldnt test anything! So we had to get it put together
piece by piece. So now I've got what amounts to a whole new computer,
including much of the software
PIGMET: An the case is new an has a blue light like a flashlight on the
front, an when we don't play with the computer, then FISHES come onta the
screen; seven fishes and a REEF and a creeping starfish, too.
MAIR: That's right, that is all the really important stuff...
I am trying to stave off my yearly winter chest cold, but it feels like it
may be taking hold of me now. I think the stress of all this computer stuff
is getting to me. You know. Calling tech support and being put on hold...
having them take an hour to help you with something that should have taken
10 minutes. That kind of stuff stresses me out.
PIGMET: But don't worry! Me and Darlene are here to take care of her!
MAIR: That's right. So that is all I am going to write in this post. Just
like all the rest of you... I gotta go lie down and rest.
From your good friend Mair,
And your Devoted Nephew Pigmet

| Welcome back you two! Such a happy surprise to see your names up on the
posts!
You were sorely missed and very welcomed I know!
Come on now, get out of the stress mess Mair; it can only hurt you <g>!
C'mon Met, get her playing some games with you, huntin treasure or sumpin
like it! get that maginashin working with her!
Yes we all need to de-stress from distress at this time of year; honestly I
wonder why one day can make a person so sick; one day that is wrapped in a
month of preparation and ends with a bang on new years day and
anticlimactically I might add!
Who needs it?! not me!! every year I get sick and there has to be an answer
for those of us 'allergic' to stress lol!
good luck to you all with 'doing your thing' and best wishes to you all too!

hugs to both mair and 'met,

You're better off remembering unbirthdays - you get 364 of these each
year, plus a bonus in leap years!

| Hi Sherry good to hear from you again
Are Sherry and Eleanor both you?
Well, I had a very excitin afternoon, when one of my favorite Unckles
turned up with a huge present for me and told me I could open it TODAY! We
had ta open it outside it was so big and when we opened it, it got even
bigger and what do you think it was? It was a flatable raft! A raft for us
to go ridin down the river on. There's been lots of rain up here, and the
rivers is swift and dangerous. but if it floods, we can use the raft before
spring to row through vineyards and places that is underwater.
So I'm wishin every one of you a happy holiday. I'm not leavin, so I should
be here. If you want to hear from me just yell, and I will write you a
letter.
A snuffly-wet greeting to all of you
your Devoted Nephew

| Mair,
Eleanor is my mom in El Paso. I am here for the holidays. I got here on
the 3rd of Dec and will be heading back to rainy and rain soaked central
valley of CA on the 7th of Jan. I talked to my husband last night and he
said it has rained steadily for days and days now.
I have also been watching the weather alerts on the computer and they have
had flood warnings for many of the Bay area and Central Valley counties.
Not good! Especially when you earn your living in the construction
industry. <g> Would also make river rafting extremly dangerous but fun for
the adrenal junkie. If the waters get too high you can just float down the
streets.
We live just a few blocks from the Hunt Wesson cannery and have always said
that if we could get to there and be safe from the high water by climbing up
to the tanks they store the tomato sauce and paste in. <g>
Glad that your uncle was able to surprise you with a gift that is going to
be soooooooo much fun! Enjoy it when the weather and the rivers are calmer!
Have a wonderful Christmas.
Hugs,
Sherry
