Apple, Ghosts, MacBook vs MacBook Pro

Thanks to Suzie-Q and Randy who came back with answers on the MacBook v MacBook Pro. Amazingly none of my local geek friends answered or knew the answers. Their answers — not fact checked because I trust them — are:

MacBook is less durable because it has a polycarbonate case versus the MacBook Pro which is [...]

Cats of All Kinds

Scooter has been in her final resting place, and here's a photo. I finally am posting what is the final picture of Scooter. Or, more accurately, her final resting place. Sorry that it took so long but this was a hard photo to take, edit, and upload. Harder still was the act of installing her [...]

Oh what a day….

As if.
Anyway, last night I finally was able to fix a long-established irritant on my Mac. There's an ACL error that has always shown up in my monthly disk-check feature. All articles say it's harmless and just an irritant. However it makes DiskUtility take an hour to run instead of 3 or 4 minutes because [...]

Breaking News On Identity Theft

I came home to a phone message from a South Florida police agency (to be named later) that someone has been arrested with oodles of my personal information and asking if I've been the victim of Identity Theft. I missed the detective in question but I left him a detailed voice mail and told him [...]

Today's Randomness

I came home today, shut the door quickly as I've done for many years to keep the cat from getting out, and was like suddenly "oh, damn." More leaky eyes.
Then, I opened my mail and there was a nice sympathy card from the vet. Not a form card either. She wrote a personal message. Which [...]

The Morning After

I'm up. I tried to make it a normal morning. I went to the dry cleaner to pick up stuff. I went to the post office. I went to Starbucks. I got gas for my case. All of that was no problem.
I had to drive by the vet's office. It's on the way to/from most [...]

In Pace Requiscat Scooter

It’s just past 1am Friday and I’m starting to write this before I actually send it out. As many of you know, I visited Scooter Wednesday 3 December. I wrote about it and most of the other visits in my blog. During that visit, Scooter told me it was time, but I didn’t say anything [...]

Scooter Update 5.1

1. I went and visited Scooter today. She wasn't happy at all and refused her Petrodex treats. That was a bad sign and I made sure the vet knew it. I petted her And brushed her, but she was just not interested today. So after about 20 minutes I left, leaving her treat behind.
2. I [...]

Scooter Update 5.0

News will be further delayed until tomorrow or Friday. A CD of her MRI is being overnighted to the University of Florida veterinary school for another opinion. Three radiologists have reviewed her results and prior to the formal biopsy there are some concerns about the nature of the tumor, her chance for recovery, and several [...]

Scooter Update 4.3A

The news will be tomorrow. There will be no news today due to complications unrelated to me or Scooter. There was an emergency involving another critter in the vets office. I had only 10 minutes of visiting time tonight and she was very happy to see me. I hope it's early in the day 'cause [...]
