Mozilla FireFox

So when I couldn't get into my blog I had to download a new web browser and I must say that I really like it. It has all the cool features of IE7 like the tabs, search bars and customized themes but it doesn't shut down on me. It also enabled me to get into my blog when I had to unistall IE7 and reinstall IE6. So what is the name of this miracle web browser, you may ask... Mozilla Firefox

There is one down side to using this web browser when you are working on your blog ~ you have to know your HTML in order to get things like links, pictures and movies to work. It isn't a hard language once you start working with it but in the beginning it can get a little fuzzy.

Now go and check it out. I am sure you will love it as much as I do.

Explorer 7

So far, not so good. It has shut down on me twice already. All I want to do is create a post and add a picture. I am not impressed. I am giving it to the end of the night and if it keeps shutting down on me then I will revert back.

I'll let you know how it goes.

Internet Explorer 7

I downloaded the new version of Internet Explorer last week and it is complete crap! The program continually shuts down and is so not user friendly. The best part is, I emailed Microsoft asking for assistance with a few of the technical difficulties that it presented and they responded with...

" Thank you for contacting Microsoft Online Customer Service.

Basically, this is a canned message and didn't answer any of my questions. So you know what this computer savvy lassy did? I went to The Official Microsoft website and learned how to unload the piece of crap #7 version and reinstall my wonderful #6 version... life is better.

So my warning to all my poppets tonight ~ DO NOT DOWNLOAD INTERNET EXPLORER 7, at least not yet. Wait a few more months for them to work out all the bugs... then I'll test it out for you again and let you know.

Be good poppets and I'll talk to you soon.

Lazy Can Be Good...

I just joined NetFlix and it is really fabulous! I came home from work and there were three movies waiting for me. I watched them when I wanted then just popped them back into the mailbox on my way out the door.

I have about 50 movies in my queue and as soon as the ones I just borrowed (Les Miserable 10 year Anniversary Concert, The Lake House, and Capote) get back home safe and sound they will shoot out my other movies on my list.

I seriously recommend that you sign up and get started.

Buh-Bye Barnie's

So my daughter constantly drags me to the mall to go to Hot Topic because they have some anime items that she likes. See, she has this idea that she is somehow "goth chic" but in reality - yeah, it just ain't sticking! Anyway, I usually agree to go because I can go to Barnie's and get some coffee and things don't seem so horrible... come on, it's the mall.

Well, we go last night and to my horror I find that Barnie's gates are closed, the lights are off and their signage has disappeared. How I am I supposed to function at the haven for little snot nosed teenagers when there is no coffee? I walk up because I figured that there must be some mistake. Surely they would have left a nice venti mocha nonfat for me before they left, right? Wrong! Instead, they posted a sign saying that my podunk mall would soon the proud owner of a Starbucks!

This means that I don't have to drive forty forevers to get a decent cup of joe! I don't have to bribe myself into getting to work an hour early so I can run down to the one on the corner before my shift... I can have Starbucks whenever I want!!

I must have been a really good girl... thank you Santa.
