Sexy High Heel Shoe Chair

Raeshel saw this High Heel Shoe Chair and just had to make it all hers.

She was talking about it all day, after work she came right home and we drove
over and picked up this gem.

Sure is a conversation piece, sure is.. :)




Raeshel made me some healthy food!

Psystar is not making any friends.


here are my thoughts,

The funny thing about Psystar, i am sure you herd about these guys.
not only does the Apple Community not like these guys profiting from
stolen software, But the OSX86 Community that made it posable to install
OSX on a standard pc also hate these guys.

Everyone has different motivations it seems.

The apple side is upset these guys are stepping all over osx. They are cheeping
the MAC experience, most apple users promote the MAC Hardware and the OS.
psystar may even give OSX and Apple a bad name, people that get fooled into buying these
systems thinking its a real mac are getting tricked! When 10.5.3 comes down and the users
try to run the combo update, Their mac clones will be disabled, they will no longer boot.

The Leopard dvd they get with the computer will not boot,
because the machine is not EFI equipped...
The only other solution is to send their hard drive back to psystar and hope they send a pre-installed loaded drive in return.

Now the OSX86 community has always said "this is not for commercial use" or even every day use,
It is just a sort of hobby for some highly intelligent people. Most of these guys Own a real mac and
mention they own a real mac. They even promote that you buy a real mac.
The OSX86 community does have morals, they know apple needs to be supported for all their hard work.

Psystar is slapping the face of the the people that put in hard work to make OSX run on normal PC's(for hobby purposes)
Psystar is slapping the face of their customers.
Psystar is slapping the face of the OSX86 Community, do not and would never condone what they are doing!
Psystar is steeling osx from apple, the 129.00 Price for osx is subsidized because apple knows you will install it on hardware
you bought from them that is why its so cheap. If it was not for that, i am sure OSX would be much more expensive.
What shyster, i mean psystar is doing is completely and totally immoral.

its like a mirage, you see that it works... but the mirage will fade and all you will have left is very low quality
poory built Windows or Linux box.

it's pretty sad. and i know this because i am a huge apple fan... have personally owned about every mac ever made...
you always notice the time and effort that goes into every mac, you can just look at any Mac and tell right away
that its is very high quality appliance.

This psycrap startup is a churn and burn... they are going to sell as many crap boxes as they can and then vanish...

the sad part is once psycrap goes away ... even the community is not going to be there for the customers.
anyone who would post a message on the forums saying they have a psycrap machine will just get ignored.

Those computer guys-



Raeshel made a comment today, after watching
court TV with me at lunch.

" those computer guys i tell ya "

I know exactly what she means. They are anal, sarcastic, immature, critical, cynical, quick on the defensive, not living in the same reality as everyone else. Most of them don't really offer anything valuable to anyone. They pride them selves on knowing
something that you don't and will take every chance to rub it in your face. This same type of person
will never give you credit for doing anything or knowing anything more then them.

The are a breed and most are truly all the same, it doesn't
matter race, black, white, indian, Mex whatever they are all
the same.

I have had to deal with these people non stop for the past 12 years
I know how they are.

I'm not perfect, i know this. But one thing i can say for sure
i really don't fit in with these guys, these guys don't like me.
I like simplification, i like to make things easy for people to use.
I like people to enjoy something i had my hand in.

LIfe is short, One day BAM your dead, and all that is left is other peoples
memories of you.

so why be a dick?

Grab your women! Kiss her and be happy that you have
such a great women by your side.

People are not disposable, if you think that way then its very posable
you already have many people that don't like you very much.

I could die tomorrow, and if i did, all i really want is for all the people around me
to know that i love them and always want the best for them.

As i said life is short, wouldn't you want to spend your days on this
earth happy?

And back to the original point, computer guys man these guys need a reality check
life is not all logical like a computer... the computer will rot you away, and one day you
will wonder where all your life went, by then it will all be too late.

My baby's got leggs!

We were out yesterday,
Raeshel got some new skirts for work and some new pairs of nylons.
She had been getting the cheaper stuff, but not yesterday she got the really silky
shiny stuff.

I was looking at her legs when she came home today and man, her leggs were looking
real nice.

That Silken Mist hose is good stuff, i should get her some more.

My lady is always listening to me.

We received our stimulus package the other day.
This is good news because we needed a little boost to catch up and
finally do a good grocery shopping.

Anyways we ended up putting the whole stimulus package to good use.

I even managed to make it over to the computer store and buy a couple
parts i needed to complete this second new computer system i have up
for sale.

Raeshel surprised me today. We were relaxing on the couch and enjoying some TV
together and she told me that she bought me something. And then naturally
i really wanted to know what it was! ( i am not used to girls buying me anything )
in the past it was all me buying things.

Anyways, she said it was something i really wanted and that i would be happy.
I still couldn't figure out what it was... But then i remembered mumbling something to my self
a couple days ago, Somehow i have been with out a Actual Decent Video card for
a while and when i was at microcenter getting parts for the other computer and
i was looking at them but, i really didn't feel like buying one, because of the price
and i really didn't feel comfortable spending our money on a video card for me.

So Raeshel must of remembered me talking about that and then decided to buy me one.
She got me a real good one too, Its constructed of solid aluminum because it conducts heat
away from the parts with out any noise, because there is not a noisy fan buzzing, nothing more
annoying then a computer that is loud from fans running.

So my sweetie got me a great video card and it will be here in a couple days
I'm pretty happy because she went online to newegg.com and picked just the right one
and ordered it all by her self... what a super girl!

My Baby can do it all! Orders nice video cards, Supervises the whole tax department at her bank, On the phone, working hard. And does it all looking good in her heels!

Then comes home and gives me a nice big kiss. A really great girl i have that is for sure.
I'm one really lucky man!

Love my honey.!
