HaHa!!!! A blast of fresh air from the past!! Hello INSPIRed, Capt, GT, Pro and Sqb!!!! I've missed you guys too ;)

Capt- You better tape up that shattered heart of yours or your wife will really be @i$$ed at me!!!! :p

GT- we have water problems AGAIN!!! This time in Carolina- Rented out our house for 2 months and I guess the most used shower was the master BR- We lost the ceiling in our garage- 2 4X8 sheets of sheetrock and lots of mold!!!! Yuck.... We got our reliable fixit guy in and he had me plug the shower pan- and we had a river flowing into the garage. Finally found the problem- cracked or failed shower pan- weird shape and they figure it was 2 pieces.......Next task is ripping out the shower floor, replace the rotted wood, and replace the shower! Button up the garage ceiling again!! Whew!!!! Exausted just thinking about it. :silly: It's just $$, right? In light of all the crap going on in NJ- we are in good shape considering.... Healthy, wise, and waiting for the wealthy!! ;)

My friend who had the colon cancer (did all you guys get your colonoscopy??) now had metastasis in the lungs:( Going thru Chemo now and for the next 6 months.......Go get your screening for colon cancer if you haven't already done so....Please. It could save your life and let you see your kids have kids!!!:good::good::good::good: Please pray for him and his family.

I'll give you all an update on my kids. My daughter (a year ago) moved to NYC to shoot for her star on broadway..... Finally got a break and landed a lead in an off, off, Broadway show. It was pretty cool and she did a great job... she got to act, sing and dance!! That was our summer excitement. Our winter excitement will take us to Arizona Dec-Feb- she just got a role in Carousel for a dinner theatre out there. Her first real paying job.... Off Off broadway role was a small scale paid job but great experience and contacts. So she quits her job here :( Wants to sublet her room but for 2 months is it worth the aggravation to her and her roommates??? We told her no- just suck it up and chalk it up to paying her dues... and she goes off the day after Christmas! She went from playing to a house of 50 to playing to a house of 500!! A definite step up there... So that gives us a trip to Arizona for a week to see her perform. My hubby will get to play golf in the desert, and I get 70 degree weather in Jan!! Good trade off there I think :D I hope this gives more cred to her resume and opens up more doors for her:fingers-crossed:

My son still is at home- worked in a dental lab for the summer and was just laid off :(

So to tech news!!! I still have my Note i717. And the Note 8 which I still use and love. I have a FirePhone that is hacked to run KK and is not my favorite phone- speaker is really lousy but I had to try it....I have my ipad air 2- love that, and I just retired my iphone 5s for a 6s plus!!!! Love the size, hate the weight. I have found myself taking my 5s to NYC when I have to walk around a lot.

I bet you think I switched to iOS totally......wait.....wait.... here it is...... I just received my Remix Mini!!!!!!!! :laugh: it's the size of my hand and about 2 inches high. I got it from kickstarter and it is a mini android computer that hooks to a monitor, runs marshmallow, has 2 usb ports for a mouse or keyboard, external drive, or a usb expander. It has 2 gb Ram, 16 gb of storage, an sd card slot expandable to 128 gb, headphone jack, and I think that about covers it.... Oh- forgot bluetooth... For $40, plus $15 shipping which always ticks me off when they charge so much but it did come from china.... I'll have to see if it has made it to xda yet. They just started shipping them out and I had the bigger more powerful one which shipped first. They do 8 gb storage and 1 gb ram too. I had to buy a new monitor, but got a great deal with a samsung hd with hdmi connection, and 22 or 24 inches for $130. I'm having fun learning the ins and outs and I think it will go to Carolina to live there. It will be a good backup for malfunctioning laptops....mine is almost 3 years old. Hinges are starting to go and the fan intermittently is a problem. Screws are starting to strip at the hinge point:(

So that's about it from this Jersey girl in my neck of the woods. My 2 dogs Stacy (15) and Roscoe (5) are still great company and a lot of love. They turned out to be great travelers in the car and are not a problem on the 15 hour ride. Even when that ride turned into 18 hours when 95 was closed from flooding and detoured an hour away and back. My local A&P- 2 blocks from my house is shutting down :crying: Now we have to go to shopRite at the other end of town:crying: Not so convenient, but what are you gonna do?

So I'll sign off for now..... Anyone else give a shout out and I'll be back!!!!! :silly: :laugh: I hope everyone else is doing well!
