Just me

I ran through Craigs list about an hour ago and there is a new, in the box, never used, Gigibyte P35-D83R motherboard fo $50. I don't know anything about it so i go looking. AHH...the reviews I read on this board are tops. Pricewatch $130 at Newegg.
OK-I want this thing. How am I going to pull $50 out of our meager funds? and without her knowing? Never mind that I bought a PSU and a HSF this month. That was over the top by it self-now I'm going for more.
What a smuck-snake-low life-worm! D*@# me and my selfishness! Sometimes it really pis@# me off.
Thats my rant!

Thank you but it was just a case of the wants that took over for a moment before common séance. I helped my wife to her recliner and got her dinner and then got her a Popsicle for dinner and i watched Joe Cocker Live. Added some mem to my pride and joy and I'm a happy camper. Sometimes the ugly side still comes out.
It's been years. I decided that I was not going to be that kind of man. Not any more. BUT...

yea, the ugly side rears it's head and ya got to smack it with a rolled up newspaper. I imagine with your situation there is a newspaper rolled up somewhere. Maybe a couple.

I just hate the weakness in myself. I'm better than that. That is the kind of person I used to be. No More. No More!!!

Don't get down on yourself for the thoughts that cross your mind. It's not truly abnormal behavior to be selfish or have selfish thoughts at times.

If I got down on myself every time I had a thought that was not quite right I would be one miserable dude.

I was doing some banking for the business today, everything was going good until we got to a check made out to my Dad and for some reason my Dad wasn't showing up on the account so she could not cash the check. Keep in mind we have had this particular business account since 1989. Since I am under a little pressure these days, my thought was to grab the teller by the neck and have her find the name before she passed out. What I did was ask to speak to the manager, then proceeded to explain that I was beginning to lose confidence in my chosen bank and should probably just close up the account. In the end the check was cashed, plus I got free checking on home and business accounts to boot.. So it worked out..


When you are in a better position post what it is you're looking for in the wanted ads here. I probably have something that will fit the bill..

Also, watch for a package from USPS towards the end of next week....

That's part of it- I don't need a thing. I have a rig that is smooth and quick and is more than I need. Thanks for the offer though.
And a few hours sleep brings a different perspective. Yes, that old person still lives within. I will see him again. i did OK.
I just added another 1GB of mem and i swear this rig just snapped to attention and yelled HOOO-RAH!
This is the first time I've had more than enough memory and now I see what people say about having more memory. Sweet!

Mareen naps a lot + she doesn't pay much attenttion to what I do back here.
I've switched monitors. Pulled my 17" and put it in the car, brought in a 21". She never batted an eye lash.
The new one is a table of sorts. It's a 21"x 16"x 12" nade of white 3/4"ress board with the ends being 3/4" heavy plastic, black, and it's on castors! Once it's in the house and I'm useing it. it's always been there.

Edit:
The box is goung to be my next case mod-once they figure out whats wrong and I get some enegy. Just to tired for somthing like thst.
