My life is so boring I wish I could tell everyone I ran this many miles or that many miles but it would be a lie. Sorry for letting you down. I try to pump my friends spirits up and likewise.

Ive finally been able to get up and drive around today and went and picked up my desktop from the ripoff place that screwed me over royaly on my laptop and now wants me to pay 450 more dollars to fix my desktop that was supposedly warrateed by them. Wrongo! I will never buy from them ever and would suggest anyone who is looking for a deal not deal with them at all! I dont know if I put there name on here if I would get into trouble so Ill tell you "because we love you!" Is not a great slogan for them to have. They know if they have to come up with a 100 dollar loss they wont deal with you, but if they can screw you out of 450 then its fine. Im fed up. So I have a desktop with Im assuming a blown hard drive or mother board or whatever you call it and no where to go. If anyone out there has parts to fit this POS then let me know. Im not in the mood for anymore crap to go wrong with my life at this point. With that said, I will now go lay down and get my blood pressure down. lol

The days of doing this are gone for several months now! Oh well.

On a sadder note, I found out that my neighbor passed away at a very young age of 28 on my street here in SJ! Her name is Brooke Jarret and her obituary is in the Des news or tribune. Very sad! She had a very good life! Knew alot of people. www.legacy.com/deseretnews/obituaries.asp?Page=LifeStory&PersonID=119726129

I know that the personal pain she was going through is over for her but yet it sadens me at how young she was. Her Dad is a great man! In fact, he is an O.B. and came into my room before I got my surgery to talk me. Very nice of him to do that. Then He made my bishop aware of my surgery and they were there at my house the night I was home from the hospital. It is a short time for us to do things here on earth and death seams to always humble me.

There is a guy that lives over by you that is awesome. His name is Justin Thomas and I don't have his number off the top of my head. I had a company tell me that our hard drive was fried and they couldn't retrieve any pictures or Itunes from it and they charged me $75.00 to tell me that. Justin pulled all our info off and put a new hard drive in it for very little money and we had him build us a new computer that he will answer questions on for free and fix if there are problems. He has been great.

Great, thanks soo much! Ill look him up on the computer. If you can find his number, let me know. I will definitely owe you lunch on me for that! Cafe Rio lol.

Wow, Wall-e, if your life is boring then what should the rest of us do??? Don't get yourself down, my friend, things will be better soon!

And those computer guys will get what they deserve, don't worry about that!

Sorry about the neighbor, sounds very sad. Makes you really appreciate life...

Im not trying to get myself down on anything right now.

Yeah, my neighbor was a great gal! Its sad to go through that. They had white light candles from her house all the way to the main road it was really a great site! Her Funeral is today. She had alot of ties throughout the nation of friends and she wasnt even on this blog! go figure.

I vaguely know some of the Jarrett's thru a niece who was friends with one of Brooke's sisters. I was very sad to see that obituary in the paper. It's tough when someone so young passes away. Hope you're feeling better soon.

Yeah Her dad just lives a few doors down from me and is such a great family. Watch your private message from me. ITs sad but private.
