Can you believe I actually spell checked this post. Sometimes I wonder about me!
Yesterday we went over to a neighbors who has a roping arena. Patrick took Doc the super RANCH HORSE who has been on hurt leave for six months because he broke a small bone in his fetlock. Doc is 13 and still very colty. When he has been on vacation he will try you. Yesterday he tried Patrick and Patrick loved it!! He was so happy to see Doc feeling better he did not care a lick that the sorry old horse was coal backed and bucked pretty hard when Patrick first got on him. Of course I did not have my camera ready so I didn't snap a picture of Patrick in action. Patrick is pretty sticky and has rode many a broncs in his lifetime. I have seen him on some pretty rank ones and have not seen him lose his seat yet!! I did get some pretty neat pictures of our day and would love to show them to everyone, but for some strange reason I still cannot get pictures from my camera to my computer through the usb cord. Does anyone have any ideas why this might be happening. As I explained in my post yesterday we lost power and it blew the modem(I now know how to spell it, I think). We got a new MODEM and when we got everything all hooked up the computer won't let the camera upload pictures(uGGH). When you plug in the USB cord it just makes this dunndund noise and nothing happens. Any ideas
These other pictures are some I took last week, they are not very good but I like pictures and my posts are like totally boring and like my like way bad spelling like way shows when there are like no pictures
like way dude!!! :P

Sad news at the Heifer House


In the midst of all my computer troubles yesterday I took my sweet Homer T. Dog to the vet because he is getting old and needed a check up. Well Homer T has bone cancer. The Doctor said with how old he already is he probably only has about a year and a half left. It has not really sunk in yet. It's way to hard for me to picture him only being around for another year. So for now I am in denial. Denial is a beautiful state to be in.

I am about to throw my computer out the window!!!!

Somebody stop me because I am about commit a Hannis crime against my computer!!
Thursday afternoon the sky was clear, wind was calm, day was beautiful, we lost our power for five long hours. I was having with drawls, I could not get on here and post or look at blogs or anything. I actually had to do laundry and dishes. When the power finally decided to grace us with its presence I tried my computer. NO DIAL TONE, what! How could that be, hadn't I already suffered enough? Yes, we have dial up and that is bad enough, I know!

We plugged our home phone into the stinkin, dumbed old jack and yes there was a dial tone. That means our dad gummed, stupid, darned old, fluffy chicken, stinkin computer's motum is blown. Ok Megan calm down it is going to be Ok.

Ok I am calm now. How did that happen you say, don't you have a surge protector you ask. Well, any logical thinking, high school educated, normal person would have a surge protector to keep the motum from going cuputy. Just so everyone knows I am not a logical thinker, I am a version of somebody normal, I am not normal, I am a high school drop out (GED) hence the bad spelling and punctuation. I have a lot of things going against me. SO you say how come Patrick the college graduate, degree holding, logical thinker did not put a surge protector on? Simple he does not care a stitch about computers.

So, I had to take the computer in yesterday and get a new motum. Guess what, "What" I did not buy a surge protector. Yap thats right I didn't.

This morning I get on my computer to download some new pictures off my camera. Even though I can get on the Internet I now cannot download pictures, what is going on? I can not figure it out! I am, I am, I am so confused. I don't know what to do if I can't put pictures on my computer. I am going to go lock myself in the closet until the problem fixes itself.


I will be in my closet if anyone needs me Happy Heifer

To photoshop or not to photoshop that is the question

PATRICK ON HIS JAPANESE QUARTER HORSE



I really want to get photo shop. I think it can make an OK picture great and a great picture spectacular or a bad picture OK. I am having a hard time debating whether I should go ahead and purchase it or not. I would like to be able to enhance certain parts of a picture and leave others alone. Like with portraits I like the sepia look with certain colors enhanced. I can somewhat get that look when I have certain backgrounds and neutral colors on the person but it is not the real thing. I would also like to enhance my boys eyes oh they have beautiful eyes and photos just don't do them justice. If I could do that I would be happy.

If I ever get good enough to sell my pictures, DO people want photo shopped photos or do they want actual true pictures I don't know. Some days I decide I am going to go ahead and get it then others I decide I am going to find a photo editing thing that is more simple and just has a few more options than the one I have now which is just adjusting the contrast and darkening or lighting the photo. Does anyone have any suggestions on other company's and what your opinion on photo shop is.












They all think I am weird especially Patrick






Currently this boy and his brother are sitting next to me fighting about who is going to play a guitar when they are older. conversation is going as so...
Dustin-" You are not old enough to play a guitar"
Cason-"When I's grown up I am going to plays a real guintar"
Dustin-"Well you can't play one now, you are still a baby"
Cason-"I am not a baby I AM A BIIIIIG BOY"
Dustin-" No you are a baby"
Cason-"No I am a big boy and Ims going to plays your guintar"
Dustin proceeds to whack CAson on the head with the guitar
Cason crys then proceeds to attack Dustin
Dustin cry's
I leave the room (hheee hee0)

Dreams Do come true

Are you ever in the midst of a dream like being in a submarine or flying through the sky as a super human woman hero. All of sudden a gas line breaks on your submarine or you fly through a poisones gas cloud set by your arch enemy. When you are on your submarine you do what you can to get the gas leak fixed and when you are super human woman hero you put your nitric gas pack into super blast so you can get through the gas cloud before you suffocate. Just as you are about to fix the leak or about clear the poison cloud you wake up and realize that the gas problem is real and is suffocatingly bad as you rub your eyes and gag a little you try to figure out where the smell is coming from. As you wake up more and gag more your nose senses the culprit it is your significant other happily asleep next to you dreaming peaceful dreams of relief, as you gasp for air and go sleep on the couch. This has happened to me two nights in a row. I blame the Taco Soup he has been eating it for lunch and even with dinner. Tonight he was wondering what was for dinner and I told him there was Taco Soup left and he said that would be fine with him, but I might want to reconsider since I will more than likely have to sleep on the couch again. I think the Taco Soup is good and so does he but it does induce a gas phenomenon.
