I told my son

that if he ever intentionally saw his sisters naked he’d go blind.
Does that make me a bad mom?

Today, while cleaning the house, I started singing. Then I realized no little animals were going to help me.

ftp racing

I just got a cable modem.
I’m downloading a backup of one of my sites..
Watching the Queue’d files counting down, then up, then down by 5 then up again. It’s like a race :) Go Go cable modem!

Old habits die hard.

The Incredible Edible Cell

This is an Animal Cell


My daughter’s 6 weeks assignment was to construct a model of an animal cell. All materials used must be edible (except for the labels) and remain fresh all day without refrigeration.
This is how we did it and what we used:
Cytoplasm – Rice Krispies Treats
Cell membrane – Fruit Rollup
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum – Trident gum
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum – blue sugar sprinkles
Nucleus – Brownie
Nucleolus – Easter Egg m&m
Vacuoles – Easter blue m&m’s
Golgi Body – Raisins
Mitochondria – Striped Fruit Rollup
Ribosomes – Multicolored Sprinkles
Lysosomes – Easter pink m&m’s

I think it turned out great! Hope she gets an “A”.

The version of this file is not compatible

with the version of Windows you’re running.
Grr!! Windows 7 Ultimate 64!!
I have a ton of legacy applications that I use on a regular basis. Micrografx Simply 3D, oldschool Bryce 3D, Alien Skin plugins, etc.
When I got this new machine, I tried to install them only to receive the error “The version of this file is not compatible…” I tried using the recommended “compatibility settings”, no love. Nothing worked.
After doing some searching I stumbled upon the fix.
Install Windows XP virtual machine.
Works like a charm!
Here’s a link!

Hope this helps someone!

Pie Crusts and Lava Cookies

are the 2 things I totally fail at cooking.
In this case practice has never made perfect or even close to edible.
Weird.

My Coffeemaker caught on fire – And yours can too!

Cuisinart Classic 12 Cup DCC-1100 Series.
I’ve had it about 5 months. I had the same model prior to the purchase of this one for about 3 years.
I heard a strange sound coming from the kitchen, sounded like the coffee was brewing, the coffee in the carafe was boiling and smoke was pouring out of the back and bottom of the coffee maker. The house smelled like an electric fire and melted plastic.
B unplugged it and threw it outside.

Apparently, this is not uncommon and there is no recall so buyer beware!!!
My dad has the same model, I called him earlier, he’s throwing it out.
