I actually wrote an article entitled Lawyers, Guns & Money.  Based off the song of course :)

My new blower worked mostly ok at drying the car. Was definitely quicker than a chamois lets put it that way!

  My new phone charger works beautifully.  Didn't think to buy a new plug, almost bought an
  Apple charger by mistake.  Bless the geek at Best Buy for steering me right.  Success!  :2thumbsup:

It uses a lot less memory out of the box so I keep it for when I get frustrated with Mozilla and Iron. Some poor sod on the forums there was using it on 60 computers in his business when the glitch occurred. Lol, the keyboard stopped working. I guess not so funny if it's your business using it.

Went to my first auction in 10+ years.

They started selling stuff by the whole table full for $1.00 and .50 at the end to clear things out.

You know this went badly don't you?

Spent only $8.00 and my porch is covered with crap to go through.

  The mighty truck :icequeen: is great, but it enables the shopping.
   I think you need to start driving a smaller car to the sales, for your own good.

  After decades of trying to push myself into a conventional monogamous romantic pairing in which
  I would of course have to be the guy's everything, and in which of course I would be devastated if
  either of us ever had feelings for someone else ... I finally recognized that I am free.
 
  I'm not cut out for that degree of responsibility for another person, and living at that pitch of jealousy
  would be toxic for me.  Besides which, I've been celibate forever and I don't know what kind of partner
  I would be, even on my best day.  But I finally accept myself as I am, which means I can finally get
  out of my own way and enjoy my time on the planet, with all the natural benefits of being the way I am.
  Which means I may or may not have a friend-with-benefits at some point, or I may just continue on as a
  celibate dreamer basking in the warmth of attractive men till I die.

   But I won't consider myself a failure.  Nie wieder.  :)

Just before I met Py I said something very similar, mainly that I was going to stay single for the rest of my life.
