'i've Fallen Down and I can't get Up!"

I received this from Uncle Ron today. Looks like another has bitten the dust or at least tasted it a bit..
I quote Ron's email here and please wish him well and a fast recovery.

"I'll never laugh at this commercial again!!!!!

That's what happened to me last Monday morning when I went out to water my sunflower seedlings...They were sitting on my (Move anything) trailor in Margie's driveway...The hitch which was resting on the pavement reached ourt and grabbed the leg of my PJ's and I lurched and twisted and fell on my left hip...BAM!!! It hurt...Thankfully I had my cell phone and dialed...MARGIE...

She gave me a pillow and called 911 for me...That happened at 8:30 AM...by 6:30 PM I was in and out to the Operating Room and had a 9 inch steel rod in my femur bone...and a three inch one to anchor it...

I spent 4 days at the Lexington Cty Hospital and they have sent me to "Health South" for rehabilitation...That's where I'm now...They're giving me plenty of pyshical theropy..."OUCH"...beleive me...ouch...ouch ouch...etc....

Don't send flowers...If you have time and you're not too far away...then "COME ON DOWN!!!"...No really...If you would like to visit me I would love to see you...Anyone in Canada and New York State and Georgia,and Florida...just stay where you are at...I'll understand


I have used the Bcc address catagory to send this so I hope your addresses are secure...

I may be here for a week or two...

I'll check my e-mail tomorrow to see if this one got through...

Love to all of you...

Uncle Ron"

MAC computers are not immune

For years, the IT community, including myself, has been saying that Mac computer are NOT immune from virus attach. Well, if you own a Mac you might want to read this article, titled Mac security software sales jump after Flashback infections make news.

All computers are under constent threat..

That's my final answer and I'm sticking to it.

An ill sad sack

A very good friend of mine went to take care of a situation at her daughter's house. They have a new puppy and her daughter recently had surgery, so Judy (my friend) went to care for her daughter as well as to watch the puppy. Well, as luck would have it Judy was out in the back yard, watching the innocent puppy, when she slipped on something and fell down. She managed to break her right arm between the elbow and her shoulder. If that were not enough, she also dislocated her shoulder.

Well now, she's stuck at her daughters, per the doctor's instructions, with her right arm taped to her body. Of course she's right handed, so I don't think she's a happy camper right now. Now both her daughter and herself needs care. But, fear not, the puppy is fine and being a puppy.

This happened a few weeks ago and I think that Judy might be getting ready to come home. We got an email from her yesterday that I know you'll enjoy and will see below. You'll notice, no capitol letters as she can only type with her left hand.

Fauxtographor - for what ails you (sort of)

Thanks to Ken.

Update: Well, it seems that there is such a thing as a fauxtopraphor. EO has pointed this out to me (thanks big guy). So according to the Urban Dictionary, and I quote here:

"A person who tries to jump on the photography band-wagon by "Pointing-and-shooting" hundreds of terrible pictures, which they will upload to myspace in an album titled "My Photography", "My Art", or "Critique My work". Always followed up by the person adding "Photography" to their General section, or adding "Photography is my life..." to their About Me.

Bulletin posted at 5;34 by Jake: "Guys check out my photography"
Bulletin posted at 5: 41 by Jake: "C'mon guys I'm a photographer now, check it out"

Joseph: Jake the composition of your pictures are terrible... It looks like you just pointed your camera at whatever flowers or animals or graffiti you saw.... Plus half of them are out of focus, and as it got darker, you didn't change your exposure settings and these pictures didn't come out at all... It looks to me like you are a pseudo-photographer, a fauxtographer."
