Dial up zindabad!
Jun. 5th, 2006 09:25 amCan you tell that I'm posting this using dialup on a Windows 98 ancient computer that makes my journal graphics all weird and Twilight Zonish?
I guess not -- but I can! Thus the "zindabad" -- which is a word that means "long live" and is used in Pakistan as a slogan of support (as for a political candidate) or as a slogan of extreme sarcasm, meaning the opposite of support. ;-)
I'm at my mom and dad's, and I have my laptop, but it's too much of a pain this morning to start up and hook up to said dialup. We had a lovely drive here yesterday in the best Wisconsin has to offer for scenery and weather -- and my newly licensed son drove the whole 2 hour trip. I only did a wee bit of backseat driving. ;-)
Had a nice visit with all the family yesterday, and today we are heading back home after we check out all our favorite thrift shops in the area. My hometown is located near the main center for Land's End, and so has a Land's End seconds outlet center. We have to go there whenever we can!
If this weather holds, it will be a crime not to go camping, so we are hoping to do a quick trip later in the week. My leg/foot -- thanks to much prayer, elevating, ACE bandages, arnica ointment and ibuprofen -- is finally on the mend, so I think I can manage camping now. As my hubby says, I can stay in the camp and cook while he hikes! :-D Stay in the camp and cook and read and write and enjoy the quiet, more like. But I think I can manage a bit of hiking, too. We'll see!
Later, my dears.
