Addi Clicks arrived today!

Ok. I admit. I got into the frenzy of people cooing how good addi needles are and I was looking for a set of interchangeable needles. I've looked at Denise and didn't like the feel of it. I drooled at knitpicks harmony, the colorful wooden needle. Then I saw addi and just wanted a set. I placed my orders on webs and it came. I am not as excited as I thought I would. The packaging was filmsy without padding and the box just look battered and dusty. You know, like you ship something without properly packaging it. For $149.99, I would think they will put a few form peanuts in it. The needles look like what's shown on the website. I tried connecting the needles with cable and it works fine. Until I start to use it I won't know how good they are, given that I have not tried any addi before. Here's a couple pictures.

       

 

MacBook: My Documents and Application folder back to the Dock

I accidentally delete these 2 folders from the dock and have been trying for the last few days dragging it back from the Finder to the dock and it just poof! goes into the trash. I have to go back to preference and check the Application to see it again. Anyway I found out how to put these 2 back to the dock so it stack. Drag to the right side of the dotted line and you can see how the trash can kinda move over to make room. Then only you drop and it won't go into the trash. This small detail cause me sooo many hrs of frustration and its just so easy. Ah, the surprises of MacBook, never-ending...

Is there a thing of too much Apple?

Well I got a MacBook and now contemplating on an iPhone. My husband's only reaction, Soooooooo Apple... Heck yeah, they are pretty :). So is MacBook and iPhone toooo Apple? I don't think so, I am paying and I buy whatever I like!  

MACBOOK

Alright! I am back in business. My old laptop died a few months back and I just got a new one. I bought a MacBook. I was/am a PC user and I have a hard time locating where everything is. Oh no, I missed the backspace button and End button already. Oh my, I haven't had time to find out what I missed about PC. Is this PC withdrawal symptom? Oh man, for the money I forked out, I hope I can get use to this machine. Took me a few hrs to find where my uploaded pictures are through Nikon Transfer. Heck I don't think I know but I found what I needed so I am a happy camper. Hopefully I will blog more since I have no reason not to.. well unless, you know its the holiday and got lots and lots to do...

Oh by the way, the trackpad is nice and all but I got sore wrist last night using it and I plucked in a mouse. I.MUST.GET.USE.TO.MACBOOK.

RIP Laptop

Yesterday the old faithful died. It didn't actually died die, I got virus through FireFox add-ons, the yahoo one and have to reformat but the laptop it got so hot in the middle of reinstallation that it shutdown by itself. I'll have to let it cool and put a fan on Hi towards it. Then I tried to do the reinstallation again and this went on for hrs. After 5 hrs and going nowhere, I have to declare it dead. I was already planning on an Macbook for Christmas and I'll wait till Christmas or at least November and try to live without laptop for a while. I am already feeling technology withdrawal what but heck, I can't cough up the dough and that's the price I have pay. Right now I am using my work laptop so I am not completely lost. Besides, MacBook's configuration is due for an update and looking at the trend for the past few years, it should be close now. So I am hanging in there and waiting patiently.

Dentist or Salesmen?

Time has certainly change, or time has make my opinion towards dentist change.. to the worst. In early 2007 I went to have my teeth cleaned and I was given a clean bill of health, clean bill of teeth...it was in Tennessee and I truly like this dentist. Fast forward 1 year and I went to a different dentist (I have since move to South Carolina) and after the end of the half/pseudo cleaning, I was given a treatment plan, 4 gum treatments and 2 fillings. I didn't go for it because the reason I need gum treatment was because they wouldn't stop jamming x-ray apparatus into my Asian jaw. I can hardly close my mouth and they want me to bite down. Gums were still hurting after 2 days. So after 6 months, and many many cups of coffee and tea later, I went to a different dentist. And this time after a real cleaning I've had had since the first dentist I went to I was satisfied. Until the dentist came in and start checking my teeth sans x-ray (the second dentist didn't fax over the x-ray) and starts to roll call bad teeth, and its almost everyone single one of them. Finally I was given a treatment plan, 8 fillings! Amazing how 6 months can do your teeth or is it something that I need to investigate further, wait 6 more months and go to another dentist? Also, notice how the last 2 dentist in South Carolina loves dispensing treatment plan and its not quick one time treatment. The plans usually requires you to make at least 4 more visits. Don't worry, there are at least 4 pages of dentist listing in the Yellow Pages until my teeth all rot and falls off.

Except that I have been busy stimulating the economy.. man I can't believe I just said that with my personal finance in shambles.
