Pariah's Ponderings

For those random people having random issues with logins lately..it may not be your Linux distro.  Apparently a nasty bug has creeped into ext4, which is causing all kinds of mayhem.  Make sure when installing a new distro, you mount your /home directory as something besides ext4 in order to keep your data safe.  See this link , scroll down to the Section entitled Tips and Tricks (by Robert Storey) to see more of what's going on, in case you are affected.  Not a lot of people are at this point, supposedly just randomly.  The chief maintainer of ext4 is working on a solution now.

There is one chore in all my world that ranks right up there with going to the laundromat as "things I hate to do the most" and that would be shopping.  I admit, I'm a girl and I don't like to shop.  Unless it's rummaging, which doesn't qualify as shopping in my view.  Every so often, though, I have to work up the will to go to actual stores and hunt around for a pair of pants to wear at work.  Dockers, a brand introduced by Levi Strauss & Co., has been providing classy jeans and work pants since 1986. With fits ranging from Classic to Slim, there is a pair for everyone. Check some different styles out here !  I'm just not a fan of going from store to store, trying on pants. Every time I do this, I end up feeling crappy about my figure.  I don't have a butt, my legs are too skinny and my waist is far too wide for the rest of my little self.  Therefore, as one might imagine, shopping for pants is not a happy time for me.  Shirts aren't so...

Most of them will be between one and two years old. This can be pretty chaotic if you ask me! Another thing I noticed is that in addition to gifts, a lot of attention is being paid to preparations for games and invitations. I guess it is pretty important to keep that many small children occupied and happy, unless you want to hear a lot of crying and screaming! I did notice that my boss spent a lot of time picking out just the right birthday invitations for her son's party. When she asked me for help in choosing a design, I was happy to help.

Guest post written by Mimi Lawless We don't have a whole lot of room in our kitchen. So we decided to bump out the room a little bit in a big remodel. That's giving us all kinds of room for things in our kitchen that I've never thought that we would have room for. But that doesn't mean that I haven't been thinking of all of those things to add in my kitchen and making mental notes. One of the things that I was thinking about is some kind of wine storage in the kitchen. While I was looking for some info on that, I saw some information on sears cabinet refacing and I added that to the list of all of hte things that we're going to do in the ktichen. I think that we're going to do with a little wine fridge right beside of our regular fridge so that everything will be the perfect temperature and keep from taking up extra space in our regular fridge, which is a bit of a problem now.
