A SPANISH Teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.

‘House’ for instance, is feminine: ‘la casa.’

‘Pencil,’ however, is masculine: ‘el lapiz.’

A student asked, ‘What gender is ‘computer’?’

Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether computer’ should be a masculine or a feminine noun.. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.

The men’s group decided that ‘computer’ should definitely be of the feminine gender (‘la computadora’), because:

1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;

2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else;

3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and

4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.

(THIS GETS BETTER!)

The women’s group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine (‘el computador’), because:

1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;

2. They have a lot of data but still can’t think for themselves;

3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and

4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model..

The women won.

I have gotten DirectTV and absolutely love it.  Believe it or not but I’m a huge sports fan and there are all sorts of packages you can get that cover football, or what ever sport you really like.  Even hockey believe it or not.  I personally love hockey!!

I checked out Directtv.com and that’s how I found out about all of the different packages they offer.  I know several people that have satellite TV but for my money and pleasure, Direct TV is the the way to go.  I have even been telling a lot of people about it so they are thinking about it too.

In fact, I have it in each of the new apartments I built over my establishment. I included it with their rent so they’re paying for it even if they don’t know it.  I did tell them that if they upgrade their package, they have to pay the extra.  That’s fair, don’t you think?

Thanks to my little computer guy, I learn something new every day it seems.  When I was looking for a Web Hosting Provider, he introduced me to various sites to help me out.  This site has a lot of information about what they offer along with a forum and even a blog link too.

I didn’t realize just how easy and inexpensive it was to find a Web Hosting Provider, much less one with so many options.  You can easily compare, find out what features each holds for you and the more information you have, the better choice you can make as to what you need.  Right now, my blog is all I need one for but who knows, I could expand some day and now I know how.

This is a new roller coaster in Ohio.  I don’t know about you but there is no way in heaven’s name that I would ever get on that thing.  Just look at these pictures and you’ll see why.  The last picture tells it all!!!

See what I mean!!!  There is no way possible to get me on that thing.

I know that some people take offense to the term ‘Geek’ but I sure don’t see why.  After all, if you are a Geek, chances are you make a lot of money or have the potential to make a lot of money anyway.  I would much rather be a ‘Geek’ than any of the other names kids call each other.  Well, here’s one Geek you will definitely want on you side if you are looking for web hosting.  They have done most or all of the work for you so that saves you time, and lots of it.  By the time it would take for you to find out the information they already give you on this one site, you would probably be so mixed up that you wouldn’t remember which one was the best for what.  I would be anyway.

If you’re looking for a dedicated server, they’ll let you know who is the best.  One things for sure, I wouldn’t even know where to start looking for one of those because I don’t even know what that is.  That’s one of the reasons I keep my own personal computer ‘Geek’ around.  He knows more about computers and the Internet than I would ever be able to learn.  That’s one of the ‘joy’s of youth’ you know.

Anyway, did you know that you could even find green hosting?  It’s true.  You all know that ‘Going Green’ is the huge thing now and how in the world a web site host can be ‘Green’ is beyond me but I think that’s wonderful.  When I need a new host, I think I’ll got with a green one to.  After all, we all gotta do what we gotta do for our planet since we’re the ones that messed it up in the first place.
