I did it!!!

[nikki]

My computer broke and I built a new one!! I had to take everything apart about 10 times til I got it to work right, but I did it!!!

Could everyone please send me an email so I can put them in my address book? I lost everything on my other computer.

NIKKI! I am so very proud of you!

[metal aunt]

Congratulations Nikki! I think Sarah told me you were only 16 and were a little computer genius, and brilliant web designer, this proves it!

She also told me recently, she thinks she missed your birthday, and wanted me to wish you a belated Happy Birthday, aplogize for it being so late, she's had no computer access in Cal.

Sarah's computer is dead forever. Maybe I could hire you to build her one? :D if she ever gets well enough and home for good, she will be miserable with no computer. :cry:

WOW! That's amazing! I think it's time we switch roles and I'll be your protégé!

[nikki]

I'm proud to be a geek, they make lots of money! I really need one of those new Ford Thunderbird convertibles! Bright red. And a new wardrobe to wear while I'm driving it.

Hi Metal Aunt! Tell Sarah I said hi and thank you for the b'day wishes. How is she doing? It was nice of Sarah to say so, but I'm not quite a computer genius or brilliant web designer. But I think I could be if I worked at it more. I get sidetracked by other stuff now

Dusty...You're not getting off that easy. You have so much to teach me and I'm still waiting to hear your mattress story!
Do you have a copy of that graphic you made of me in the car? I lost mine when my computer broke and I can't find the one I had posted online.

[metal aunt]

LOL, sidetracked by "other stuff"? Surely not-hehe. I barely remember being 16 now, but I'd guess the sidetracking might be boys? hanging out at the mall? talking to friends for hours on the phone? boys? utilizing your drivers license? boys? shopping? maybe a little homework during school? You go girl, you've got your whole life to be a computer genius or a web designer, you're young and major responsibility free for such a short time (even though it probably seemed forever to get to 16).

Like those new Thunderbirds do ya? So do I! Sounds like a good graduation present to me! :banana:

What are you driving now? I'm positive as smart as you are you're planning on college. Any ideas what you want to be in the future?

I' like to hear that mattress story too Dusty. :wink:

[Fred]

Red T-Bird - afraid not - my first set of wheels did not was a '59 Nash Rambler - cost me a whopping $250. I was "old" at the time - 21

[fuhgedaboutit]

ummm, mattress, what mattress?

Yes I still have it/them. Send me your email. (mine's under my profile.)

[nikki]

Thanks Dusty, Richard sent me the graphic.


I don't have a car, so I just drive whatever I can. I wish I could say that I'm going to go to college and do something great, but I really hate school and I'm looking forward to getting out. Right now I'm thinking about applying for some kind of apprenticeship after I graduate. Either electrician or carpenter. I know there will be classes in an apprenticeship, but at least it will be something I can enjoy doing.

[metal aunt]

Go with electrician! The one that came out here charged 75 bucks just for showing up, 50 bucks every hour he was here, and spent half of the time scratching ummm body parts, talking on his cell phone and drinking Mountain Dew. The man never broke a sweat. :!:

[flashho with out e mail2]

I know where you could do woodworking apprenticeship!! Actually, Go To College!!

[fuhgedaboutit]

I'm not doing what I'm supposed to be doing :roll: so........

Do both but go to college!!!

[nikki]

Thanks Dusty!
I would love to have this as a wallpaper for my desktop. Richard???

[Flash ho]

Sure, not a problem. Wallpaper or as a screensaver? Look for it this afternoon. Dusty, ( who won't read this till 3am), could you send me the original? if not, no sweat.

[fuhgedaboutit]

Sorry you guys. The heat is really getting to me. Enough is enough! There's truth to the song "Crazy From the Heat." A lot of people go nuts. I should be grateful I wasn't in New York! :shock:

Check your email Richard.
