So Much Easier

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to have more hard drive space without having to take your computer apart and add another drive? Or, perhaps you'd just like to clean up the drive you use, moving music and movies and pictures to another drive without the hassle. I know I would. Seems like the two females in my house have hardly ever seen a picture they didn't want to save. But, like most computer users I hate having to go inside and play around with hard drives and wires and all that.
Here's an easier solution, try using an external hard drive. Just grab one of these and plug it into any USB hub or slot on your computer and viola more space than you might ever need!
Check out this one:


It's the Seagate 1.5TB USB 2.0 External Hard Drive. Yep, you read that correctly, one and a half TB. Just think of all the videos and music that can hold. or, if you're into more mundane things, imagine how much of your work that drive can handle. And because it is a USB external device you could take it to work with you and then easily take your work home with you. And there would still be lots of room left over for more fun things.
So much easier to just plug something into a USB slot than taking the cover off your computer. And, let's face it, most of us should never even think about taking a computer that works apart.

I Made It!

it took me a while but yesterday evening I managed to reach the payout on NoPayPoker.
I know it's not big dollars but I am proud of myself. And besides, twenty five dollars is twenty five dollars and I don't know anyone that would pass up free money :)

Here I Go Again

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, once more this blog is about losing weight. I know, I know, you've heard it all before. Well, you are going to hear it again!
This morning I thought about an old insulting joke where one guy tells another he is fat and the overweight person tells them yeah, I'm fat but you are ugly. I can change! It's true, too. An ugly person will always be ugly but a fat person can lose their excess weight. So, why haven't you?
With the amount of weight los products on the market these days you really have no good excuse for being overweight. Trust me, I've heard them all from under active thyroids to just being naturally big boned. Unless that is what your physician told you, it's more than likely a big, fat lie.
With all the products to choose from you need some help getting the right product for you. One that will not only work but won't thin your wallet at the same time.
So, do some research (click the link above) and then talk to your doctor before committing to any drugs. Better to be safe than to just rush in with whatever looks good at the moment.
Since it's Winter this is a great time to think about looking leaner and healthier when the warm weather comes around.

Weather

It's been raining off and on for a couple of days now. Flooding in Los Angeles and that area are awful. Mus in the hillsides too. Then, this afternoon, the Weather Service issued a tornado warning for Orange County. What the heck? A tornado in the land of earthquakes? How strange! We even had a bit of sleet here in the desert an hour or so ago. Where is my sunshine???
