pdf or jpeg?

reinydawn @reinydawn (11643) • United States 23 May 12

This may sound strange, but when you scan something in to e-mail to someone, do you scan it as a pdf or jpeg file? It seems that so many people I work with scan things as jpeg (picture) and not pdf. I think that it's easier for a...

How's your guacamole?

reinydawn @reinydawn (11643) • United States 14 May 12

I really like guacamole, and lately I've just been wanting it fresh. So I've been trying to make it - how hard can it be??? So, I bought avocados and made some. I mashed up the avocados, added some red onion and lime juice. I...

Do you make a grocery list?

reinydawn @reinydawn (11643) • United States 14 May 12

Or do you remember everything you need and always get it? If I don't make a list (and take it with me to the store) I will not only forget at least 1 thing I need, but I will usually get something I don't even need. Take...

Some people wonder why my house is always a mess.

reinydawn @reinydawn (11643) • United States 13 May 12

Well, it's because I hate housework. I mean I HATE housework. I hate to dust, I hate to vacuum, I hate to wash dishes, I just hate it. That's why I don't usually do it. It's not a priority to me, I can live in a little dust. I...

Last year, I bought my grandmothers' house in PA, and since I don't live there but only visit once in a while, I don't know many people when it comes to making repairs. We've got a problem with the roof up there, and I wanted to...

The other day, a friend of mine posted on Facebook that she was anxiously awaiting the Xfinity installation guy that was going to switch her from Verizon Fios to Xfinity (Comcast) cable because they were offering a much better...

Sometimes the legal system is just crazy!

reinydawn @reinydawn (11643) • United States 8 May 12

About 8 or 9 years ago, my son moved out and got an apartment with some friends. One of his friends was caught breaking into some cars so all 3 of them were evicted. My son paid his 3rd of the remaining rent, but now he's being...

An old friend is asking for help.

reinydawn @reinydawn (11643) • United States 6 May 12

MANY years ago, I was using IRC (Internet Relay Chat) to talk with people all over the world. I stumbled on to a group of people that became my first internet friends. We used to chat every night, for hours! I can remember going...

Getting bad news about an old friend

reinydawn @reinydawn (11643) • United States 6 May 12

About 20 years ago, two very dear people stepped into my life. Shortly after I met these two women, I was going through a divorce. Soon after that, one of them was going through a divorce and a couple years later, we were all...

Oh My Gosh! All the way to work today, I thought there was a car right beside me. Every time I looked over, though, it was just a blotch of bird poop on my window. Thank goodness my husband is driving that car tomorrow because I...

50/50 is LAME!

This happened last year on The Voice and it really frustrates me. On last night's show - the one to get the finalists - the judges have to allocate 100 points between their last 2. I don't think they should be allowed to split the...

Different people use different words

reinydawn @reinydawn (11643) • United States 24 Apr 12

I play Words With Friends with quite a few different people. Most of them I know and know very well. A few are just casual friends that I don't know much about. One thing I noticed today is that depending on what's going on in...

Thank you myLot for saving my electric bill!

reinydawn @reinydawn (11643) • United States 22 Apr 12

I am so tired today. I haven't had a weekend off in months! And this weekend I wasn't able to sleep in since I was helping out with the community yard sale yesterday and I had a charity walk this morning. So, when I finished...

Well, it is getting to be that time. I know I'm going through some stages of menopause because my body temperature has increased a few degrees. I used to always be cold. Now, I'm always comfortable or warm. I don't have hot...

Have you ever heard "Can't see the forest for the trees?"

reinydawn @reinydawn (11643) • United States 21 Apr 12

Well I think that happened to me (again) today. I have been locked into one idea that I totally missed a better, easier and CHEAPER way of doing something. I'm going to be selling lottery raffle tickets to raise money for the...

So that was Alice Horton's secret!

reinydawn @reinydawn (11643) • United States 19 Apr 12

Wow, we just found out what Alice Horton knew about Stephano. And you know, it's never as a big a deal as we thought it was going to be. Of course his reaction is exactly how you would have expected it to be. I'm really glad they...

I read the 4th book first.

reinydawn @reinydawn (11643) • United States 19 Apr 12

I'm not sure how this happened - other than I was not paying attention. My son got me a kindle a couple years ago for Christmas and I mostly read the free books. They're usually pretty good, some are REALLY good, and some are...
