Weird

Yesterday was nice and sunny when I woke up. It was warm in this house, too warm, actually. I got up and came to the living room to find that the heater was on which is always nice for me in the mornings as I use it to loosen up my arthritic joints. But, the heater was sitting around 80 degrees and had been trying hard to bake the house.
This morning I woke up and looked out the bedroom window and saw that it was cloudy and windy and I was cold, very cold. I got up and came into the living room to find the heater is off. WTH? It's a nice day the heater is on, it's cold and funky outside and the heater is off? I think my daughter is backwards LOL

In other news, computer-wise, it is looking more and more like I will have to delete Ubuntu and start over. Today it is acting strangely. I tried to look in some folders that I know are on the computer and it gives me an error message that no such files exist. Not that big of a deal until it gave me the same error message when I told it to let me look at the hard drive :(

Food Storage

I was just looking in the refrigerator for something and I see that it is a mess. It looks worse than a bachelor's refrigerator and that is definitely not a pretty sight!
It appears that my wife and daughter need to educate themselves on proper food storage. Some foods just do not keep well when tossed into the refrigerator on a shelf. They need protection, some sort of plastic container with lids to keep them fresh. Some things in that refrigerator are unidentifiable, like a grade school science project.
I hope that you, dear reader, do not keep your foods in the refrigerator like that. Buy some Tupperware or cheap imitation thereof so that your foods can stay fresher longer and, more importantly, be easily identified the next time you open the refrigerator door looking for something to eat.
I quickly closed the refrigerator door as there is nothing I saw that I would trust to eat. My two girls are out shopping at the moment and will have to clean that box out once they get home. I'm sure that neither of them will welcome that task!

OOPS

Okay...this is silly. I tried to use the update manager in Ubuntu and I have to authorize things by typing in my password which I did. Then it does absolutely nothing.
It runs a little timer on the screen for a long time then stops and does nothing. GRRRRR.
It is beginning to look more and more like I have tweaked something that is stopping Ubuntu from doing what I need it to do. I may still have to remove Ubuntu from that hard drive and start all over from scratch. I do not want to do that.
In the meantime, I am still using Ubuntu at this moment even and it is working just fine. Maybe I don't need the updates or maybe, if I am truly lucky, it will wish to do the updates by itself at a later time.
So, as long as it is working I am not going to tweak it any more, just leave it be.
