Was that before or after defeating the robot with his magical fire breath?

BWAH!!

My wireless router decided to quit and my mobile phone battery will no longer hold any kind of charge. Guess I'll be replacing some tech this weekend.

And shopping for school supplies.

And school clothes.

I am terribly predictable. I stopped for a burger for dinner. When she gave the price, I was all "buh? No, that's not right. It's $3.49." She insisted it was. OK, whatever, it's gone up in a week.

I get to the window and she apologizes "The manager laughed and told me you were right. He knows you come by every Friday to get just the PapaBurger." This, at a high traffic A&W.

It amused me.

sara-- that recently happened to me at a liquor store... I stop by every week to get a bottle of Chardonnay. There was a new clerk and she asked if I wanted a refrigerated one, and I said " Ownersname doesn't refrigerate this Chardonnay, just the sparkling white". She insisted and went to get one for me, but I was right.

Much more embarrassing at a liquor store to be so predictable!

My other is the 7-11 near work for nicotine. All the clerks know me.

OK, so I have a girlie question. I've heard many pregnant women get especially klutzy/loose joints due to a hormone or something. Is that same sort of hormone-thing present in the normal cycle? (NOT PREGNANT, NO CHANCE WHATSOEVER.) Because along with certain other predictable and known symptoms every month, one of my knees twinges and threatens to collapse on stairs, a couple ribs do this weird thing where it feels like they are shifting from the cartilege on inhalation, and one of my hips gets...well, weird. Like it is looser and weaker. It always goes away when the other symptoms do.

Hmmm. I am at "that time of the month", and my ankle gave out twice (I fell getting off the bus yesterday and this morning, at differnt stops). I don't know, though, although it makes some sort of sense.

Well, when women are pregnant, their hips, in particular, get looser, but this is due to the pelvic bones shifting and ligaments stretching in preparation for the screamingly unbearable pain of shoving a bowling ball through an opening the size of a lemon beauty of birthing a new being. Hormones that help the stretching and shifting may be involved, but I have no recollection of that.

Mommy's Alzheimer's-- the reason so many second children are born.

Also? ACK, meara!

Um, the good news is that when you get a new one, Time Machine is really efficient and brainless and you can get an external drive with more than enough space to use it for under $100!

It's just getting as predictable as the crank/hate/emotional low factor and the sore boobs. I just only recently made the connection.

Heh, well, I only have Tiger (10.4) not Leopard (10.5), so no Time Machine for me. I bought a new external hard drive rather than upgrade the OS. But maybe I'll do that too. We'll see how often I remember to back up. :)
