  • Awwww..... how cute.

    From Nick Andre@1:229/426 to All on Monday, May 28, 2018 20:20:11
    My daughter asked me innocently but with a serious tone, if I loved her.

    It was a very emotional moment.

    I said of course. You're the best tax write-off a guy could ever ask for.

    She smiled warmly and said thanks. Then hit me up for 20 bucks.

    All my life needs, is the sitcom laugh-track. She will be going away for the summer. She is taking a Netbook PC with her... with a D'Bridge point-system.

    So, you've already written-off the PC? It orta buy extra 'data' on her cellphone at the pawn shop.

    Cheers,
    Paul.

    ... Here I am! Now what were your other two wishes?

    Drive Snapshot, a little shareware program written by some crazy German, powers all of the disk-based image backups here. I'm a huge fan and could not get the credit card out of my wallet fast enough to buy the licensing.

    I have not had to re-install Windows in... several years now.

    So she can trash the netbook and it won't be a huge deal to fix it... but she is using Wifi at a relative's home, subject to the rules and regulations set forth in that household. "Internet in our family is a privilege, not a right"

    Both my girls grew out of their teenage years over 15 years ago. They pay their own bills now. I was just trying to be helpful.

    Cheers,
    Paul.

    :) I know. Nothing "serious" taken here.

    We have had a few conversations in this household about Internet, social media, etc. that sometimes I wish everyone here was privy to, and how most things that are popular now, I was running on a BBS in 1994.

    Yes, I still have one... on the old Mystic BBS on my Win98SE node.

    Cheers,
    Paul.

    ... I gotta get a new computer. This one makes too many mistakes.

    True, that's only $16.23 USD (I'm guessing).
