Fixed the dangling drive

January 12th, 2006 | 1 Comment

We haven’t been able to close the CD-RW drive on Kathleen’s computer for a month or so now. We figured the toddlers stuck something in there.

I wasn’t going to let the computer be packed with a dangling drive, so looked under the hood tonight to try and extract the foreign object.

I’m not knowledgeable about the inside part of computers, but managed to remove the drive and open it up. Out popped one CD, then another, another and another. There were four CDs inserted. Pulling them out was like delivering kittens.

I can picture one or both of the twins imitating big people and sticking disks in the drive; the anticipation followed by a puzzled look of disappointment when nothing happened like it was supposed to.

I removed a kid’s wooden block from a VCR once. The tapes fit so much better then.

Alice Springs for all things lesbian Fri, 02 Jan 2009 05:29:42
ABC telly is really full of stuff to keep you in touch with your lesbian side.

Last night was the night to put the barriers to your inner self aside and hang out with the lesbians in their own backyard.

Alice Springs is on the map, being the lesbian capital in Australia and there are lots of girls to choose from.

The professional lesbians (people in high places) are known as the A Team.
The reguar lesbians (taxi driver, blue collar workers) are known as F Troup.

This has to be good for tourism

Funny thing Ebony, the girl didn’t protest, it was one of her relatives.

But generally speaking you’re right, too few people accept responsibility these days for their actions.

I worked in PR for a while and it’s a strategy to blame someone if you need to explain bad news or poor behavior. Most people are like that too.
