UPDATE ON THAT PC ORDER

So, just got a call from the vendor selling the PC I ordered. They said the last one they had in was a USFF instead of a SFF. So it's smaller than I was expecting. It's still the kind that sits under the monitor, it's just smaller. They said it's the same configurations so I am hoping it's still 8GB ram, 1TB hard drive and a DVD burner - or I'll be sending it back. I'm also hoping the processor is still a 3.1ghz i5. I googled the thing and it seems to come with a slower processor most of the time. But they said it can run up to 8gb ram and a faster processor - so yeah. The interwebs also said it can run 2 HDD's and after looking at the photos of the inside, I kind of wonder where the hell the other ones goes LOL. Not much room in there. But all I want is something that will last at least 6 years for the price. I got the 4 year warranty with it - so if it craps out in that 4 years I can get it fixed for a minimum of price. There is no possibility for a PCI video card in it, so no expansion video wise. As well it's maxed out for memory. With luck it will live 10 years. I don't know if I will live 10 years, so ya know. LOL. In any event at this price it's a good deal. Just kind of wonder about heat in it - does not seem to have a fan in it (just on the power supply). We will see, the reviews seem to be good on several sites after all.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

Matilde Vicenzi Cookies Are Great

Image
Was sent these by a good friend for a birthday gift. They are really very good. Quite possibly the best cookies I've had in years. I tried them all, and I like the white one you see in the bottom picture, as it had a lemon taste to it. Some had a bit of liquid chocolate in them and where very good as well. Like normal, the ones with the bit of jam in them where a bit too sticky and chewie. But I seriously enjoyed all of them. These are great. I'm going to look them up on Amazon and if they are not too much money, I'm getting more for Christmas. OK just looked it up and NOPE, it's $28 a can. They are very good, but that is a bit out of my price range. But the usual Christmas Danish Butter Cookies are also kind of a lot of money now as well. They are also a bit moist, and not super dry like usual. Also not powdery like a lot of them do. I'd give these an 8/10 and would recommend highly.

Had a Great Birthday Lunch

Image
Went out on the 14th for my birthday lunch with friends. It was very enjoyable. I got the Jambalaya pasta and a Doctor Pepper (free refills so I had 3). Because I was celebrating my birthday, I got an ice cream sandwich for free and the "birthday song" sang to me. In the photo you see what my friends got me - Kicking Horse 454 Coffee and Double Chocolate TimTams, and a card. Earlier I posted a review of cookies I was sent by another friend. I also got some silverware. This is literally the first time in my life I have new silverware. I had been using very old ones for many years - at home with my parents, they had an even older set. I also never owned a salad fork LOL. There was no tea spoons with it, so I have older tea spoons still. I tried to look for just tea spoons, but they came in large numbers and I don't need 60 of them, I just want 4. I also got a total of $140 gifted to me by several nice people. I got some stuff I need and a toy I wanted (personal kind of toy)
