Lately a niece of mine wanted to know if I wanted her old computer and
printer as she and hubby just got a new one? I said yes :-) and Sunday
evening my youngest Sis and her husband brought it by.

Got it hooked up Sunday evening and have had a chance to fool around
with it just a little bit.

Been online some in a group for WebTV users like me who now also have
computers. Just starting to learn a few things. :-)

Also found a used book at Amazon.com called Windows 98 for Dummies,so
want to get that. Have a book for Windows 98 that came with the computer
and have read most of that and it is a big help;but I still want the
other book because the authors of those write more in English instead of
what I call the computereze language! LoL

Just having a bit of fun now with this "new" to me computer and hope to
get it online in the not too distant future. :-)

Ronny:[Wed. morning]
Thank you. :-) And I would of been replying more to some posts in the
last two weeks or so,wrote some replies out,would try to post them and
then get  popup box that says,"MSN is having a technical problem. Please
try again." Would try again a time or two and get the same blamed popup!

:-( Sometimes felt like telling MSN where they could go jump with their
technical problems! LoL

But then it's always possible the problem is caused by something on the
webpage I use to smallify my c,c,p quotes? Can't say for sure one way or
the other? When I get my computer online,I can post in here with that
and maybe I won't have that problem? I understand it is easy to both
quote and smallify with a computer.

BTW,hope you don't live to regret your encouraging me to post in this
group. :-) I can talk/post a lot at times! LoL And I tend to talk about
just about anything that comes to mind on any particular day! LoL

Ronny, that is exactly why I enjoy your posts.   There is something
comforting about reading about everyday life and things going on in an
ordinary sense.   I am interested in everything people post (excepting for
the trolls of course!)

I do like to talk about everyday life. Like to hear the same from others
as well. Miss that a great deal in groups I post in as it seems not to
many people do that. (sigh) Some few do and that is really nice. :-)

And I think some people in some groups I'm in think they shouldn't post
about ordinary everyday things! But should only start a post if it's
about some really big thing!

And a few people I've met online think I'm not sophisticated enough! :-)
LoL Well no, I'm not really that. I'm just me! :-) And some people in
some places don't seem to know what to make of that! LoL

Ronny,

If you are not living a sophisticated life, why put on an air of
sophistication?   Honesty about what and who you are and about your real
life is absolutely as refreshing a thing anyone can read.   If they don't
get it, forget them.    They can always skip your posts if they want to.
Nobody is everybody's cup of tea.   There have been a few people who dislike
my posts too.   I am always the first one to suggest they killfile my stuff
if they aren't interested.

This morning it is sunny and gorgeous and the snow has been melting like
crazy.  I really think and hope this is the last gasp of winter and finally
we will get a big melt and it will get green around here!

I own a lot in Texas, by the way... in Lago Vista, just northeast of Austin.
We plan to build a house there one day, but just now we have elderly parents
still alive, my dad and mother in law....

Ronny:[Friday morning]
True. And I have a question. What is a sophisticated life?! :-) LoL I
really wonder what some people think one has to do to be said to living
such a life? :-)

And I find it so odd that some people don't see/understand that.

Ronny:[Friday morning]
And numerous times,in WebTV groups,I and some other people have told
some that if they don't like my posts,then they should just skip them,as
no one is forcing them to read such. But some few people choose not to
do just that as they are the type that are bent on controlling other
people and those types tend to get very upset at people like me who
refuse to be controlled! :-) LoL

Hmmm. I just helped Mom change her wet Depends and mopped up some urine
that was on the floor. Guess some people would count that as
unsophisticated; :-) but it certainly was needed! :-) LoL

Now that would be a nice and warm place to live! :-)

BTW,in some post you mentioned seeing some bulbs sprouts coming up. :-)
And just today I noticed some of my amaryllis were coming up now! I
thought it was a bit early for them;but we have had a lot of warm days
here with just a cold one or two now and then. They didn't bloom well at
all last year. :-( And I don't know why? Have to check that out some.
May need to cut back some bushy privet hedges so the amaryllis can get
more sunshine! And oh how I hate having to prune most anything!LoL But
my privet hedge is actually good sized privet bushes because I haven't
pruned them in so long! LoL Know I need to as I also want to plant some
marigolds and moss rose in the bed they are covering. Have you ever seen
moss rose growing and blooming? Beautiful small plants and bloomers that
grow and bloom right through the worst of our hot Texas summers! :-)

Will stop for now,as it seems I have turned my computer thread into a
flower thread! :-) Not that such bothers me though! LoL  

Ronny TX - 18 Mar 2005 10:22 GMT
Evelyn,since I mentioned one of my favorite flowers,moss rose,in my last
post to you,I decided to go to Google to look up a few pics of them. :-)

http://images.google.com/images?ie=ISO-8859-1&hl=en&q=moss+rose

http://www.blitzworld.com/garden/rose%20moss.htm

These are beautiful plants and as I said, they will grow and bloom
during the hottest of Texas summers.

I was buying some moss rose plants onetime and I noticed where some
flats of them had been thrown away at the back of the greenhouse I was
in. Most of those looked dead with only a dry stump left and little
green if any on that! But a few of them still looked good enough to
plant,so I asked how much those flats would cost me? The fella said take
them,they're free. So I ended up planting all of those. Even the ones
that were mostly dry looking stumps and everyone of them grew and
bloomed beatifully! LoL So I concluded from that,that the only thing
that would kill moss rose was a freeze! LoL

I looked at the pics and immediately thought how much it looked like
Portulacas..... well imagine my surprise when I read further and realized
that is exactly what it is!   We just never called them "moss roses" around
here.   I do love them but they have to be planted fresh each year in the
North East where I live.   I usually have a pot or two of them around the
door of my house on the front steps.
