Skype / Obamacare

I am so tired of seeing this message, I could barf!!!!!

                                  Skype Click to Call has crashed

Ever since hotmail replaced their IM with Skype I see it daily.  Anyone know how to get rid of this short of quitting hotmail, the only e-mail I like?  Ok, end of rant.

As you all know my life changed drastically since mother got sick back in July.  It has been doctors, hospitals, CT's, MRI's, operations and trips to San Angelo, Texas.  A lovely town by the way but one I would rather not see for a while or perhaps under different circumstances.

Why do I mention all this?  Because now I am in charge of everything which includes cooking....and you all know I am barely able to boil water and that is no lie...last night I forgot about the water and I could of caused a fire!  But then again that could have been my CRS (if you don't know what that is look at the banner on the right) coming in to play mixed with Nyquil.

Anyhow the point I am trying to make is that these days I barely have time for anything let along watching the evening news.  Last night I watched my first complete newscast since July...and what do I find?  Today is the last day to sign up for Obamacare or I am going to be fined!

I know I am a procrastinator but I really did not put this off on purpose.  All I heard these past months were of delays and complications in the sign-up process and even an extension but no firm deadlines. Guess I better get with it :-(

Hoping everyone's day goes better than mine.


UPDATE

Good news deadline has been extended until Dec 24th  http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2013/12/23/countdown-to-obamacare-deadlines/

My MagicJack Plus

Since Santa forgot about me again this year...I decided to get me my own Christmas present, that being a MagicJack Plus.  I already had a regular MagicJack but it did not work too well with my prior ISP and worthless broadband connection.

One good thing about our Road Runner service is that I can now use this device to call my friends back home since we do not have long distance service on our regular landline phone either in Del Rio or in my house in Houston.

With the MagicJack Plus you do not have to have your computer on to make calls. You just plug it to your modem or router and then plug a corded or cordless phone and you have a stand alone telephone to make and receive calls 24/7.

I slept like a baby literally after downing some NyQuil...woke up at 2:30 p.m. but did not actually get out of bed till 2:45 p.m.  Been a long time since I had done that, guess my body needed the shut eye.

There has been a flurry of activity by Walter's corral.  In the past couple of days I have seen his owner swinging a pick ax and clearing some brush. My mother told me he was at it since this morning and it appears he cleared a lot of brush on his side of our fence line.

I also saw him putting hay inside the corral...wonder what gives?  Did Santa grant my first wish but instead of giving him a new owner made this one more compassionate?  Nah...I don't think so either...shucks!

Wanted to welcome John and Ellen to the blog roll.  They have a very nice blog full of beautiful pictures. Check them out at http://connectedtothevinephotography.blogspot.com/

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
