What are your top 5 internet pet peeves?
Mine:
5. Blog layouts that are only 200px wide total with 6pt fonts and header images that are 900px in height… all squished to the left.
4. People who can’t get seem to change their address book entry to my current email address and continue to email the old one though I’ve told them at least five times about my new one that isn’t so new anymore.
3. Google downloading 7.06 Gigs of information from one of my sites in a single month. I hate you, Google. I swear, if it weren’t for Gmail…
2. Like, OMG!!!1!!! I need help NOW!!!1!!! It’s a EmErGeNcY!!!@!!!1
1. Sites that say, and really mean, IE only.
@#$% you.
R.I.P. our beautiful vacation spot, may you rise again soon, Gulf Coast, Mississippi.

New theme: Elegance, what you think?
No cheating, how many images were used in this theme? ;-)
Still want to follow Owen’s advice though. I just wasn’t inspired with it this time around. I need someone to make me a really cool image outta my photos… who’s up for it? ;-)
Well I talked to my mom last night (Sunday) and she said that my step-grandmother is now breathing on her own. And here’s to me, breathing a sigh of relief. However, her kidneys are now giving out so she will have to go on dialysis. However, it could be temporary and from what I understand, dialysis is a pretty live-with-able thing.
[UPDATE] Today she is starting 24 hour dialysis. Her liver doesn’t seem too good either, but she’s been moved out of the critical care unit. I suspect still in intensive care, however. [/UPDATE]

I love it how he just smiles and laughs when I produce the cell phone! And especially when it clicks when taking an image!
Oh, he loves his baths, too!!
Well we got back not too long ago from the hospital. I never got to see my grandpa, mom said he’d only gotten 6 hours of sleep over two days, so he’d gone home to get some sleep.
We sat in the waiting room after my parents left and I leaned on the arm rest between me and Steve and wiped my eye. Suddenly I had this strange feeling of deja vu. It was like I’d been there before, in that exact waiting room surrounded by all of those exact faces (the place was packed). Was I there in 2002 when my grandma died? Or was it when Steve’s grandpa was in the hospital? Or did I dream it?

Okay what is it with all the people I’ve found out about in these last two days that are in the hospital? There’s my friend’s uncle who apparently has some really serious disease that may take him months or even years to recover from, my sister-in-law’s grandmother just broke her hip… and now, my grandpa’s wife…
She went into the hospital the other night because she was having trouble breathing. She’s had some heart trouble here recently (she’s really not that old, mid-fifties I guess) and here recently she had an attack where her heart stopped for six minutes.
My mom’s up there now, she says it doesn’t look good. Grandpa’s trying to be optimistic she says, that he seems convinced his wife will pull out of it. But the doctors are giving her 72 hours on this breathing machine and then they’re going to turn it off and see if she can breathe on her own or not. But they are convinced she’s suffered some pretty good brain damage.
If she dies… I don’t know what’s going to happen to my grandpa. She’s been taking good care of him and I’ve seen the old home movies, a part of him died with my grandma in 1963. And now this…? I don’t think he handles being alone too well.
