The Mans Life

RAM

James — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 17:57:23 +0000

The thing about computers is simple: you buy one this week and two weeks from now, it’ll be obsolete. This is more obvious now than ever with the prevalence of laptop systems. I remember getting the one I’m using now when the amount of ram it had was practically a world record. Now, it is almost in the value bin. As Tupac once said, that’s just the way it is.

Boots

My wife always like to wear things to give me the chills. Last night we no different. Even though it was a hundred degrees outside, she came home wearing these hot thigh high boots. She is always doing something like that to impress me. It is successful more often than not. Guys, be on the lookout for women that’ll go the extra mile for you.

Vacation

With gas prices as high as they are, I want to limit the scope of possible vacations for my family and I. I figured if we stayed in the southeast United States, we could have more money for spending rather than gasoline. I remember back in the day gas money barely beign a factor, but it sure is nowadays. That’s alright, we live in a pretty happening part of the country. I thought we could visit the Outer Banks and pay grandma a visit.

Walk-In Bath

I first started talking about getting my mother a walk in tub after I saw the commercial on TV. I have always wanted to think of ways to make her life easier. After all, I installed a chair in there for her, but this would be taking convenience to a whole other level. Sh has had many surgeries and this would make having a bath a lot easier.

Computing

Everyone thinks I’m this God of computer science just because I spend a lot of time on one. I’m probably the last guy you’d want to fix your computer. First of all, I know the minimal about hardware. I know what the basic framework of a system is, and that’s it. As far as coding and all that, I couldn’t tell you the first thing about windows scripting or any other language. Let’s just say I know the basics in depth when it comes to computers.

Grandma

James — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 17:02:14 +0000

Throughout my life, I have always loved to go to grandma’s house. When I was a little kid, she was just about middle aged so she was still extremely mobile and joined me in many of my childhood adventures. Of course, as the years have gone on she has gotten less and less mobile and flexible. Now, it’s hard for her to even get a bath without pain. That is why I am going over there to install a bath lift sometime in the next week.

Health Insurance

People in other countries who are used to having socialized health care simply refuse to come to America without travel health insurance. I was watching the movie Sicko where some of Michael Moore’s Canadian friends were purchasing health insurance just to go to the United States for a day. I wish we had free health care like most first world countries around the world.

Golf Time

James — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 16:33:50 +0000

Here in Florida, it’s getting about time for the locals to engage in golf once again. For those of us who can afford it, summer is the best part of the golf season. After all the northerners go back home, the ones that rive up the prices, the local people can get in on the golf game again. I recently have gone out and got ready. I bought some new Titleist golf equipment, including balls and a new driver.

New Computer Era

James — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 16:26:38 +0000

The days of desktop computer systems are growing more and more obscure. I remember back in the day, getting a new computer entailed getting a huge box into your car and getting it home only to spend hours just physically setting it up. I much enjoy the days of laptop computers better. You bring home a small box, take off the plastic and styrofoam and turn it on for the first time. It’s as simple as that. A new computer is as simple as setting up the initial information.

Diet Months

James — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 16:20:56 +0000

Here is a plea to all makers of drugs and supplements: if you are going to charge me thirty dollars for my wife to use a month of your product, at least give her some diet pills that work. I am so tired of going to the nutrition store every month to try a new product with the same results. Maybe it’s not the pills, though. Maybe it’s the fact that my wife looks ok and is just obsessed with being thin.
