I listed this as rambling because that's what I feel like doing tonight. It's cold, I'm bored, and I'm about to do my Copaxone shot and go to bed early. This has been a very quiet and peaceful weekend, and kinda boring, the highlight so far has been the hour and a half that I spent on the phone last night with Dell tech support trying to get my parent's new computer set up. Well they already had it set up, but couldn't connect to the internet, only to find out after so long on the phone all it took was a simple push of the reset button on the cable modem. DUH me, I've done this hundreds of times but it never dawned on me last night. Big MS brain fart there. And while I'm on the subject of tech support, do any of you find it as annoying as I do that most tech support people do not speak English very well? This is such a peeve of mine, and most of the time I'll tell them I want to talk to someone else. Had I been at home, alone, I would have loudly stated that I couldn't understand them and needed to speak with someone that had a better grasp of the English language. Oh well. So today has been yucky. It's been raining all day, and supposed to snow tomorrow and tomorrow night. Looks like another day off work for Monday, that'll make 3 so far this winter. It's a good thing I don't live up north, I have little patience for snow and ice and how it cripples us here in the south. I don't even attempt to drive in it, my reaction time and my eyes ain't what they used to be. Hell, I can barely see to drive when it's raining, and if it's night time, you can forget it. Anyway, I know this has been boring and pointless, but thanks for reading anyway. I'm just in a blah kinda mood today, I'll try to perk up tomorrow.

Heya Deb, good to have you back. Have to say though, I can barely read your entry when it\'s in pink! Sorry.
Love, Jani
Hey Deb,
Great to see you back, rambling or whatever. I know I agree with you on the Tech support people and their command of the english language. Most of the work is from overseas. One time I did press the point and someone from stateside finally called me back. Sorry to hear about that yucky weather, I know here in the deep south we are going back into the 40\'s which is very unusual this time of year. Just hang in there, the Sun will shine again. Love U
good to hear from you! i agree with the pet peeve! it should be a requirement of employers that if they are going to hire someone to work phone line in the USA that they speak English well enough to understand and be understood! (yah it\'s a pet peeve of mine too lol)
