I, for one, love having my computer right by the kitchen. I sat here and watched t.v. episodes and a movie on it the past few days, with easy access to the kitchen for snacks and crazy projects. I love being able to pause what I’m watching! It took me three hours to watch “Baby Mama” because I was making pie. (Cereal-bowl pie, very different from jar pie.) Plus, when I realized today that I needed to make cookies for tomorrow’s Christmas program, the internet was there for me with thousands of recipes. Just a turn of the screen and it’s like a recipe-book. A really expensive ‘don’t-you-dare-splatter-stuff-on-it’ recipe book.
Lloyd’s relationship with his computer has gone south, however. Despite his four days of working on his school’s website (for which he missed a fabulous trip to Minnesota, you’ll remember), it all tanked tonight. He was ready to switch over to the new website and it’s a no-go. If I understood what has happened, I’d explain it, but I can’t. All that work – down the toilet. *sigh* Here he was when hope was still high:
So, to wrap thing up: Computers love me, and computers hate Lloyd. The end.
Brad says
I think the difference is that you think of computers as equals, while Lloyd tries to subjugate them to his will. The sooner he drops his superior-to-computers attitude, the happier everyone will be.
Lloyd says
Shutup Bradbot.
Lauren says
Language, iLloyd!
Cousin Sam says
Christmas Program Dec.1? No wonder the stores have the junk in by Columbus Day. I don’t even do Advent(or Lent or any other “service” that doesn’t have a well cooked meal waiting after it) because it ain’t no commandment. It’s obvious iLloyd wasn’t thankful enough this weekend and the turkey gods hacked his cybernerding. Also, because I like rambling, and Rambling Man by Robert Seager, Simpsons took a swing at iLloyd iJobs iApple this week, you can watch it on FOX
Beth says
I see you. And I see Cricket. And I’m cracking up that your towel warmer rack is now Lloyd’s new arm rest. HA!
Peggy says
Dnag…I don’t see you Lauren! I see what looks like a cloaked figure in the mixing bowl ???? But I do see Cricket…how cute! And I see some cool looking snowball cookies!
And sorry Lloyd…I know just how you feel…just yesterday I spent the afternoon painting my nails & them smudged them before they were dry!
Lauren says
Just leaving myself a note -- remember Darlene’s cookbook.
Lauren (Not Brad) says
Also: Remember to send Brad $20.
Lauren (Not Brad) says

Lloyd says
Bad Bradbot!
Deborah says
