I received a phone message from Yvonne at like 5 in the morning her time last night. I wonder what is going on with her. Unfortunately, like everyone else, she had no idea that my voice mail does not play out loud. People try so hard to get me to pick up the phone, but I can't hear them on voicemail, until after they have finsihed saving the message.

I will call her tonight, I miss speaking German so much. It is weird that she spoke English on the voice mail because I think I have only heard her speak English two or three times in all the years we knew each other. With Vonage, calling Germany is only 3 cents per minute. It's even cheaper than calling my mom in Kenmore on my cell phone.

It seems that since Apple (Quote, Chart) decided to move its processors away from IBM's PowerPC and onto Intel (Quote, Chart), other companies might be looking for a way to get in themselves.

Michael Dell, Dell founder and chairman, told Fortune magazine Thursday he wouldn't mind adding Apple's OS to its software product list, which includes a couple flavors of Linux to go with its Windows-heavy lineup.

"If Apple decides to open the Mac OS to others, we would be happy to offer it to our customers," he said in an e-mail to the publication.Quoted from: Dell Bullish on Mac OS?

Why don't the other companies just come out with their own flavor of linux. I mean it all starts out half developed as open-source projects, just like with OS X. Similar to the lindows operating system that Walmart sells. More and more computer hardware companies should just begin to develop their own instead of creating another "windows."

After a stressful day or arguing about our depressong financial outlook, we went to wegmans. Apparently, arguing and stressing out makes your blood pressure go up. Mine jumped like 20 pts to 104, lol. The result of today is that we are officially poorer than the poor with no debt but we are not moving to Nonnas house.



Here are some old pics of me and (e:mike)

Does anyone else rememer watermelon hubba bubba gum? It was so soft and chewy and green striped on the outside and yummy pink sugary goodness in the middle. I can almost taste it whlel writing this.

Apparently, they went out of business in 1994 and then returned in 2004 under wrigley's as hubba max but now it is strawberry mixed with watermelon flavor. You should check out their page it is very entertaining and interactive.



I tried their new watermelon gum log pictured below and it was disgusting. I just want the old gum back.

I am spending the day with my mother going through Nonna's stuff. I also found out the whole apartment has that really nice wooden floor under it. I think moving here wouldn't be so bad, if we could redo it a bunch.

We found lots of stuff. In fact, Nonna actually collected every ticket stub for everytime she used any type of transportation. You should see the graphic design from the travel industry in the 1960s. I would say it is even better than now. My mom wants (e:matthew) to make a nonna trnaportation themes cut out from them.

I got a blood pressure machine and a digital thermometer. No more need for a doctor. I also got my mom's old teeth.
