When Ignored, Insult

Backstory: Olga meets Dmitri. They spoke for around two minutes. Olga gives her business card to Dmitri.

Hilarity ensues.

Nothing beats insinuations of psychological disorders to charm a woman!

Octuplets

I was reading the recent octuplets story this morning. Initially, I thought it would be a heartwarming story instead I was dumbfounded by the sheer ridiculousity of the whole situation.

Eight kids = eight questions…

1. Why did you get fertility treatments?  (mom already has 6 kids, including a set of twins)

2. How were you able to afford this? (mom and kids lives with parents, mom’s dad planning on going back to Iraq and work in order to help support the extra eight mouths)

3. Where’s the baby-daddy or baby- daddies? (single mom of 6 kids + now 8 infants)

4. What kind of fertility treatment did you get? (in-vitro or fertility drugs)

5. Was your fertility doctor aware that you already gave birth to 6 kids? (willing conspirator or unknowing physician)

6. Who is this fertility doctor? (ethics, ethics, ethics)

7. What do you do for a living? (student vs part-time worker vs full-time career)

8. Did you consider adoption? (14 mouths to feed is a lot!)

I am glad that the eight babies are doing well though.

Haunted Computer???

Last night, Mr Shell was tinkering with my computer as his computer needs a new ram or memory or something. He installed some software and surfed his sites without any hassle when out of nowhere it froze. Of course, everyone knows one just needs to restart the computer and it should then fix itself. This was when the bizarreness started. As it restarted, a DOS screen popped up informing me it was not detecting one of my drives. Hmmm. I let it finish and opted to restart it again. I figured it was simply a glitch. Restart #2 commenced. For the second time, same drive was undetected. I had no idea which drive it was so I was hoping it was not something essential. I proceeded to insert a dvd onto my dvd drive. Bingo! That was the undetected drive! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat. I fetched the installation cd with plans of reinstalling the driver. Yeah, it’s not happening. I actually only have one drive…ONE. I probably did not think I needed a second one when I initially purchased the computer. I figured why spend money on a second one when I have an all-in-one drive. So installing the driver plan went out the window. At this point, Mr Shell offered to buy me a new drive as he felt partially to blame. Therefore, I resigned to accommodating said future purchase on our budget. Thirty minutes go by and Mr Shell decided to restart the computer again – somehow on a whim. Anyway, computer was restarted and for some unknown reason it detected the driver this time around. What?!?!?!?! Yeah, I had no explanation. All I know is that now I have a functional drive again and that my good ol computer finally decided to recognize my driver. I guess the third time was the charm. *shrugs* Sometimes, computers are such $hit disturbers.

Year of the Ox.

Resolution for this New Year: get rid of one of my credit cards especially the one with a high interest rate and charges me an annual fee. One of the rare times that the fine print beat me. Well, the plan is to close it by March. *cross fingers*
