- September musings (Created by Amber on 09-03-2010 @ 01:07 PM)
Wow. So much to write. We made it to September. This is mostly a good thing. I am mostly healthy. This is very much a good thing. My happy pill dose was increased. Good thing. Spasms very much increased. Bad thing. My counselor is going to work with me on untangling some of the past so that I can fi...
- 10.... 9..... 8...... 7....... 6........ 5......... BREATHE! (Created by Danielle on 08-21-2010 @ 07:24 AM)
As very few of you know, on May 25th, I was diagnosed with partial seizures. When most people hear the word "seizure", they think of collapsing and/or full body shaking. That's not what mine are at all. Mine started out as what I called "interruptions an...
- Bluetooth and jumbles (Created by Amber on 08-18-2010 @ 10:15 AM)
Welcome to my first blog via Bluetooth headset. I actually started this yesterday, but I forgot to save the document before I shutdown the computer last night. Sigh. The headset is cool. I can listen to music or use Skype from anywhere in the house. It is stereo. You can use Dragon wirelessly as wel...
- Fedora 13 Linux on an MSI E7235-295US Laptop (Created by Daniel on 08-17-2010 @ 10:12 PM)
As I mentioned earlier, one of Amber's caregivers at her group home decided to steal the laptop while she was away at the hospital and to replace it I picked her up a new MSI E7235-295US and installed Fedora 13 Linux. Everthing worked right out of the box but a few tweaks w...

- fear revisited (Created by Amber on 07-24-2010 @ 08:46 PM)
I'm really not sure what I feel like writing here. I'm OK pain wise, but really jumbled emotionally, which the doctors say it's to be expected, after a total hysterectomy, (and I'm only one week post operative) but it's hard to live through, especially when you've just been robbed and nobody is doin...
- Yet another laptop gone. (Created by Daniel on 07-19-2010 @ 05:20 PM)
Now I'm really starting to know how Amber feels about all her missing iPods. My old Dell laptop disappeared when the person I loaned it to left the country before returning it. At least I know where it went. But now, while Amber was at the hospital recove...
- we have nothing to fear but... (Created by Amber on 07-10-2010 @ 05:13 PM)
Well, I know it's been a while since I wrote. But it's not been because nothing is happened. A lot has happened that I haven't been sure how to write about. Most recently after my last blog, the manager of the house where I live's boss called me and began the conversation with "I don't want to put y...
- Quote/poem of the month (Created by Danielle on 07-03-2010 @ 02:05 PM)
I had a random idea a couple weeks ago to do a different quote or poem each month. So, without further ado, here's what started it all: (JUNE 2010) The Magic Of Love Love is like magicAnd it always will be.For love still remainsLife's sweet mystery!!Love works in waysThat ar...
- Good night moon (Created by Danielle on 07-02-2010 @ 03:47 PM)
For the last couple of weeks, I've had the opportunity to see some absolutely stunning moons. When most people see a moon in my experience, they enjoy it for a couple seconds, and then go on about whatever they were doing before the moon was brought to their attention.&n...
- Yay for me, my Kindle is free! (Created by Danielle on 06-27-2010 @ 05:03 PM)
Yesterday after I got on the bus to go to the mall, I went to turn on my Amazon Kindle 2, and to my dismay, discovered it wasn't working properly. Half of the screen was the screensaver that was on there before I turned it on, and the other half was the bo...
- Summertime... and the livin' is... (Created by Amber on 06-21-2010 @ 10:14 AM)
Well, it's the first day of summer. And for the first time in a long time in my life, it actually feels like summer. :-). We are on our way to around 104° today. That's not bad. It doesn't feel really hot until about 106°. :-). See? I'm becoming a native. I've been quiet here because I was i...
- All filled up again! (Created by Danielle on 06-18-2010 @ 08:21 PM)
For the past couple months I've known that Cullen and his family are my FUTURE FAMILY!!! By that I mean I'm gonna marry him some day, (if he still wants to marry me at that point, that is ) and when that happens, his mom, Pam, and his stepdad Rick are also gonna become p...
- Garlic? Really? (Created by Daniel on 06-14-2010 @ 12:14 AM)
So I was just in the kitchen tossing a roast into the crock pot for overnight cooking and I suddenly experienced something I can only refer to as a delayed exploding noema. Years delayed, in fact. I can't explain it all because it's just too odd except to the few I've...
- Plodding along while clicking the X. (Created by Daniel on 06-13-2010 @ 12:19 AM)
Yep, I'm still working on the new design for SaidSimple. Amber is back in the hospital so I'm spending my time there rather than code. She's been in for 3 days and they have yet to determine what the problem is but until they do they have 3 different broad spect...
