Congrats on the Pop & Chips fast. I don't eat chips too much, pretzels are my bag. I still haven't given up the pop yet......but I gave up the coffee, so it's one step closer.
Don't know what the breaking news is about your health, but hope everything is ok!
Happy 40th. My 40th was completely uneventful too. Just another day, for me.
Take care

Getting over yourself is the first step in then being able to really say how you feel, without all the fear and trepidation. Rock on!

I'm bad, I haven't read it all, but I do know that writing about it is an outlet, especially when it may be something that's difficult to discuss out loud. You have a right to your own feelings and interpretations, and ultimately to let things affect you however you want them to-meaning you can let them define you, or you can be YOU in spite of all the rubbish from the past. I admire your willingness to put it all out there. Wish you the best in moving past the pain and the hurt, because regardless of how you choose to deal or interpret the past, it's still painful (I speak from experience.).
I will go back eventually and read the rest. Thanks for sharing this!

"Get into a windows computer if you don’t have a password - yes I’ve done this quite a few times."
So, what's the secret? Do tell please? Got an old HP sitting around that I lost the password to, and I'd LOVE to get my files out of it!! I will even knit you a scarf! :)

I also forgot an even easier method if you have the know how how - if your old computer is a desktop and your new computer is a desktop you can take the old hard drive out of the HP and put it into your new computer as a secondary hard drive - then you can browse and just pull off the information.
Another option would be if i it's a laptop or one of the computers is a laptop (or you don't trust yourself to install a hard drive into a computer - the easier option is to buy a USB drive case and put the old hard drive into that and plug into your new computer via USB - this will also let you browse the hard drive.
I would do that if your uncomfortable with the other options - but since it costs some money to buy the external drive case I would use that option last since I prefer to recommend free solutions first.

Go download this ISO image and burn it to a CD (let me know if you need help with ISO images) - follow the instructions and reset the admin password to something you know. This will get you in 99% of the time.
There was an instance once where they had renamed the administrator account - so it wouldn't work for me. This was a remote corporate laptop that would take days in turn around time. So I found instructions that gave how to half install in XP and reset the password midway through the installation - if the reset CD doesn't work I can try to track down those instructions but that should work.
On the other hand if you literally just need the data off the computer - use a Linux Live Boot CD (personal favorite is Ubuntu) - download the ISO and burn it to CD - boot the computer off the CD - hook up a USB drive and drag your files off the computer to the USB drive and you should be able to get your data without resetting the password.
If you need more explicit instructions please let me know and I can provide them.

Pennyroyal Tea sums up Mr. Cobain almost to a "T". (no pun). For me, his death is the first that I can recall, of death by suicide of someone who was such an icon. I think it's hard to fathom that so many people can 'love' or admire someone so much, and yet that person is so stuck in the depths of whatever they are stuck in and doesn't know or feel the support and love that surrounds them.
I didn't cry that day, but I was sad. Still have the newspaper from the next day.
There are so many tragedies, told and untold, that unfortunately it gets easier by the day to make a list like this. Thanks for the walk down memory lane, sad as it may be!
Looking forward to reading more of your blog!

Thanks for dropping by to comment.
Some people won't get the Cobain thing. I didn't at one point. I'm not sure I still truly do on a personal level. I love Nirvana and it's one of my "go to" bands when I want to listen to something. When I was in high school it was my senior year. I was into hip-hop and rap. It wasn't until the following year I ended up listening to a lot of rock that I got more into it. To some level I always enjoyed rock - but I was more likely to buy C&C Music Factory then any rock album.
So once I got into Nirvana, Kurt Cobain was already dead. So I don't think his loss can reach me the same way. I think some of Nirvana's lyrics are nonsensical, and that's fine. It's the voice not the words that spoke for my generation. The same way I think Hendrix spoke for his. Some things transcend it all and I think in the greater picture is what Kurt really did.
