He's been harassing me to upload for a few days now so.. here we go! Frog's Point of View ShotNinja Camouflage Froggy!

Okay, the laptop I'm using is as old as the hills. So I plan on putting some money aside each pay check to buy a new one. Now I'm not really computer savvy, so anyone got some good suggestion. Personal I would want a PC, since all 4 Mac my Mom and Siblings have, all crashed with in a week apart from each other. I mainly need my computer for Inter net use, writing, and music. I don't need one that strong enough to play MMOS. Also, Morningstar, mentioned her computer came with photo shop already in it. Does anyone know what would be a good PC that not going to cost me too much.

That was a really old bundle, you can't get that anymore. It was Photoshop 10. I've really liked the Dell laptops. My Dell laptop outlasted everyone else's varying computers, even now it's still perfectly usable after five years. The sound system was crap but they've probably upgraded by now. I used it to write papers and watch movies and even did all my Photoshop work on it in college. Hell I could even play games on it at the time and it was the most basic of the bunch. So you can count that as a vote for Dell. I had people accidentally pour Coke in it, drop it, it survived it all. I wouldn't recommend actually doing these things to it, but they're sturdy creatures.

Zachary T Paleozogt okay. so any particular model of a Dell Laptop you would recommend? Since you don't need it to do much, you may want to consider a Netbook. Those are ultra-portable (read: smaller than the average laptop), and are made with battery life in mind. They're also cheaper than the average laptop as a result.
Some examples include the Inspiron Mini 10, the Eee PC, and the Wind.
But if you do want to go with a normal laptop (specifically from Dell), then an Inspiron is probably your best bet.

just recently my daycare requested i pay for the third as if it was independence day. because i looked at my contract and asked questions of my sister in law who also uses the same daycare, the provider got annoyed.
she anounced that sense my mother would be off on that day and she herself would be out of town i would not need the extra money. (i don't have to pay her if she cancels on me.. though she always makes excusses to try and get paid anyway.)
She told my mother (who helps me out and picks up lil bit when i work late.) that i misunderstood the conversation we had. though i have the text messages saved on my phone.
She then texts me and informs me she will e-mail me later that day. about 30 minutes later an e-mail written as if to my mother is sent to my blackberry. degrading my character and personality because she deemed it her best interest to buy my daughter a bathing suit and a halloween costume last year. (though i pay her for 4 days a week and only use her for 3 days a week.) And saying that i'm ungreatful because she's been watching my daughter for nearly two years... rolleyes
I am finding pleasure in the fact i will be no longer be using her services.

My Dogs are idiot. I had just woken up and let them out side to do their business. I was in the garage moving some box when I heard the dogs barking up a storm. I go out they are all focus around the base of a tree by the fence. I though at first they where just barking at the neighbors, but then I saw something by the tree. So then I just thought it was another animal, like a dog or cat. Turns out it was a small Raccoon. I tried to get them all back in, but they wouldn't listen to me. Then One of them, Olive the lead dog, got too close and began to bite the Raccoon with the raccoon it self biting her back. Then Dessy, joins in, so the two dog are playing tug-a-war with this Raccoon. I'm freaking out trying to get them way, but none of them would listen. So now I got a dead Raccoon in my backyard, and two dogs who I fear might have been contracted something. To Top it all off, no one is around to help me out with this.
I've tried to call Animal Control, but terns out, they don't work on the holiday, and I don't know if Dead Raccoon counts as a emergency.
God I'm so pissed off with them.

Todays's trip to the farmer's market was brought to you by the letters W, T and F, and sponsored by a grant from Dunk Strawberry Guy.
Drunk Strawberry Guy was last seen harassing people at the market stalls, shouting, "I WANT STRAWBERRIES! GIVE ME SOME STRAWBERRIES!" as his shy handler would steer him away and inform him this seller has no strawberries. It's a very small farmer's market that takes place in a school parking lot, there are no more than two dozen vendors, only two of which were selling strawberries, both of which were run by petite women (granted, one is a tough old broad). It is perhaps a small blessing that they were both native English speaking white ladies, as the majority of the rest of the stalls are run by a plethora of tiny Asian ladies who speak little to no English would require 6'5, Yeti-haired, 400lb Drunk Strawberry Guy to therefore bellow his demands at the translators for these little old Asian ladies. Namely, their American born grandchildren, mostly aged between 6-12. This could only end in tears. He eventually ended up with two flats of strawberries, which he overpaid for (when she tried to give him his change he bellowed, "I don't want money, I WANT STRAWBERRIES!"). As I was leaving his handler was trying to steer him out of the market and as was shouting, "NO! I NEED RHUBARB!"

If the raccoon wasn't fighting them or being psychotic, it probably didn't have rabies. You could keep the carcass and have it tested as soon as possible anyway just to be safe. I know you should have it done ASAP because the time frame for treatment of rabies is small.

Well I didn't see any white foam coming from it's mouth. And I think it was only fighting back because it was back into a corner.

Dear Flag Burning Shirtless Hippies (with surprisingly well chiseled chests, rawr),
When burning a flag in the middle of the street, it is helpful to not cross against traffic when you don't have a walk signal. I can guarantee our little liberal neighborhood isn't honking at you because they are for/against flaming flags, it's because you're in the way. It would also be good if you had a flag that was, you know, flammable. Standing in the middle of the road for two minutes trying to light the remnants (30%?) of a flag only makes you look silly.
Dear Drunk Guys,
Starting a conversation by wanting a "Fourth of July Fist Bump" is acceptable and even unintuitive. You're still not getting my number, but good try!
Dear Friends of Drunk Guys,
Thank you for taking away the drunk guys.

Guuuuuuuuuuuuh.
Not every Asian person that comes into the restaurant is Japanese. 80% chance on Waikiki, but never assume anything. Giving the Korean family Japanese menus because you assumed they where Japanese was a horrible, stupid thing to do newbie. That is why they gave you stink eye and decided not to eat at our establishment. I've explained this to you 5 times. You are a bimbo. Go back to California and bore someone else with your ex-boy friend stories, sweet Jesus.

Driving around for 9 hours STRAIGHT on a little stand-up forklift thing is not fun.

You're not linking to your account, you're just linking to the set up, which is the base address for anyone with an account.
Which means I'm getting MY set up, not "user XYZ" set up.
