caitaroOk.. so because i couldnt resist.. i went in the pouring rain after school today to the garage sale with the 20$ box of computer crapola..
I knocked on their door.. They were in theri basement playing diablo II! lol..
anyway so i told them why i was here and they were like "oh! yeah we still got it" and im like "WOOOOOOOOT"
so we went out and the rain had died down a bit..
so she said "is this what you want?" i said "yep!" so i offered her 17$ and she took it.. and the guy carried it to my trunk.. he said it wasw very heavy. Lol..
So i got home and helped jerrie w/ her homework for about 4 1/2 hrs.. she didnt want me to go then. oy.. Xp.
so i got home and it was pouring..
and i called mo to tell her i worked on el site yesterday... she said.. ok she'd look.. she also said my grandpa was in the VA hospital up in ann arbor.. he apparently.. got hurt somehow... but she wouldnt tell me >_>...
so then dad called linda (my aunt) and she said that he fell in his room and wasnt found for like 8 hours... that he had psnemonia.. and.. he had bladder problems (like travis barbara)... um... and that his foot was swelled up and purple............ and it was hard for him to breathe.. and he couldnt walk...and stuff..
:\ she said he was gunna be ok for the time being... but he would prolly have to be put in a nursing home or something after he got better.. and it takes him a long time to get better.. like around a whole year..........
but my dad had his dad ina nursing home.. the place over in coldwater was like 170$ a DAY....
and if grandpa needs help for around a year.. or even more.. that could get quite pricy.. and my grandpa is a cheapas.. i mean.. like possibly more of a cheapass than me.. Lol..
he likes motels like.. the dirtyest skankiest type.. we call them "the jess black special" lol.. but he loves his motor homes alot..
He's boughten like 80 of em and he never uses em. and he keeps selin em.... He always goes out and buys brand new cars though.. I duno why o_O...
Ok.. so.. after that.. it was raining.. and then dad did trash and i went out to my car and said "well i bought it" and popped the trunk.. . and so he carried it in.. we all sat on the floor and sorted through all of it.. Theres a BUNCH of cool crap in there.. Like.. there was a zip drive.. with 7 zip disks... Im downlaoding the driver for that as i speak... and 2 brand new ditto drives.> ive never heard of a ditto drive before.. but it said on this one that it can hold up to 7GB of space.. and im like... "......holy shit." XD thats like 1/2 my entire computer.. I got 2 - 7gbs..... 3 - 3.5 gbs.... and 1 - 2gb.. but the transfers are supposed to be really slow o_O SO im downloading that driver too..........
i got a bunch of random AV cords.. a bunch of TV antena cords.... a BUTTLOAD of cell phone and cordless phone AC adapters.. no idea what i will do with those.. I got a subwoofer for HP.. i think its something to do with sound >_> hm..
a couple extension cords for power... some USB extension cords.. some serial port cords.. a serial port -> usb converter... several splitters.. MONTITOR CORDS.. ( i was so pissed we just bought ONE for 27$ at radio shack >_>) a buttload of phone cords.. a buttload of ethernet cords.. an ethernet network adapter (that i cant use >_>) i thought for a minute it was a modem and i almost screamed cuz i want a new modem so it will work with linux.. lol..
umm.. some phone cord / dsl extension cord thingies... some changer thingies for TV / antennas.. Some computer power cords.. various random wires that have no purpose.. like a copper wire and stuff.. a HP printer power cord... some digital camera usb cords... I think some audio splitter headphone thingies....... and a BRAND new expensive Sony microphone with its own leather CASE! XD.... heck i could go on and on listing all the crap that i got but thats some of the highlights.. I took a pic of all of it strung over the floor lol ill have to put it up here sometime...
but yes.. i was excited..
and now i wish to sell the crap i dont want on ebay. Lol.. i can easily make that 17$ back dude..
andi get to keep meh new zip + ditto drives! WOO.
