Taming of the Shrew is one of my favorite Shakespearean plays and I was a bit concerned that it might not be the same as the Burton/Taylor version I had seen when I was much younger. It wasn't. Not better, not worse as they say just different. And what a marvelous difference it was.

That update keeps causing my monitor to blink. So much that I can't work. I have to power off the computer and restart it in safe mode. Then I go into device manager and uninstall the card. Restart, windows finds it reinstalls the driver, restarts, and I'm good to go.

Even if the government ends up owning a lot of real estate, it's real estate so it will continue to increase in value.This is going to Schuylerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17807742881451311871noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4021893.post-44776957469981730922008-09-20T12:56:00.001-04:002008-09-20T12:57:24.753-04:00bank bailout, how bout homeowner helpI just read of a proposal by Bush for a huge bailout fund for failing banks that own bad mortgages. If it is to be enacted, I'm not sure the money should go to the banks, certainly not as principle plus interest.Seems to me that it's not a bad idea but that the funds should go to the owners of the homes esp if the house is the primary residence. That way the banks get their money and no one is Schuylerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17807742881451311871noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4021893.post-30059059496092070492008-08-25T15:18:00.004-04:002008-09-20T13:06:23.319-04:00No longer shopping at bestbuySo my computer crashed hard the other day. I had hoped that I would get the chance to choose my time to purchase another computer but life has a way of inserting its own timeline.I went to best buy online and found the computer that I wanted and called up the local store. They didn't have it. But I needed a computer right away and I knew they had a price match guarantee.
