Oh and hoping I havent offended anyone with that other link, its meant to show the handbag not the other items.

and its apparently cheaper now, was only $69.95.

Still think I would be banished from town if i used it as a handbag lol, but most handbags dont really appeal to me that much. PITY!

Fussy - ooohhhhhh…..heading into town tomorrow to the post office……

I tell you you look lovely because you do!

I wonder how long it takes for jewelry to get around the globe anyway?

Love, alli

ps- that shirt looks lovely on you!

Setting up mobile internet access with Linux based computers can be a bit fiddly for those that don’t have Linux-fu. A lot of mobile companies are coming out with add-on cards or USB cellular modem adapters, but mobile companies tend to aim squarely at Mac and Windows users and you may have trouble getting a USB unit to work with a Linux based mini-pc like the Eee (I can do it, but the process isn’t “user friendly”). If the XP based Eee is out by then, you’d be fine.

A mini laptop in HOT pink???? Now how cool would THAT be!

Stuffy - yeah, they come in pink although one of the “lesser” models. How’s that for computer speak? About what you’d expect from me yeah? Now, it was explained to me the difference but went right over my head. All I took in was pink mini laptop for $500 and I was SOLD. Well, not totally sold because I haven’t bought one or anything. I thought they’d be kinda good for when we do our big trip next year. I could compose my blog while we’re driving along (well that’s the theory anyway). I need some help working out what we need to set up wireless internet so we can pick it up as we travel though (not necessarily as we drive along but when we’re at different caravan parks). Anyway, back to the Eee’s. I’ve seem some nice looking sticker type things you can add to the white ones that are in pink too.

Now how cool would it be to compose posts for my pink blog on a pink laptop????

Sharon - you mean I’m a TRENDSETTER now????? ROFLOL. Have you noticed that half the time I wear my red flats to church I end up running around barefoot? The don’t breathe very well in the hot weather.

Alrighty, I’m going to put the $160 into our savings account (cos if I give it back to farmboy it’ll get spent ) to begin saving for a new generator. BUT, I’m also going to start saving for my pink bling things. It’s only 5 months to my birthday so maybe, just maybe I’ll have something to ask for this year.

Oh and your Eee thing, I saw a smaller version of that in hotpink just today, but its chinese, has label written in Mandarin (i think) and only comes with chinese language packs. One of my friends at uni is chinese and goes home each christmas to china. Not sure WHY he had a hotpink one, other than maybe it was the only colour choice while he was there, or maybe his mother sent it to him, she sends him lovely chinese lollies during the year (he shares, they are very yummy, like brittle caramel with a peanut inside, but chewy as well as brittle).

Oh and Thankyou for the Bling. There is a purple one and a blue/black one now too.

Hmm Generators, I want one of them too, we dont lose the power anywhere near as much as we used too, but we get lots of Brown outs, where the lights fade out and then come back on, but things like the computer and tv/video get upset and have to be reset/restarted.

My father had his house wired up so that he had the lights and fridge/freezer running on two circuits, on the normal power circuit most of the time and then during blackouts (which our area of Brisbane got a lot when I was a kid) the generator was started and Dad flipped a switch on the circuit board so that the generator ran the emergency circuit (which also covered two tv’s, cause you can imagine five kids being a bit much in the dark lol). It was a big petrol or diesel thing but was relatively quiet for its size. My Daddy was/is a smart man.

I want one like that and when i build dream shed on dream land in a few years time, I will be getting it wired with emergency circuits so i can just start the generator (which will have its own little house at a reasonable distance to the main shed house) and flip switches on the powerboard.

Cheers,
Maggie
