Good Morning

kbourgerie @kbourgerie (8780) • United States 2 Jun 16

I am not a morning person, but I work so I'm forced to get up and face the day. There is nothing like going outside with my coffee and cigarette at this time of year and feeling the warmth of the sun on your face and the...

Android Airplane Mode

kbourgerie @kbourgerie (8780) • United States 31 May 16

I'm ticked. Airplane mode doesn't work on my phone. I threw my phone in the air and it didn't fly anywhere. Now my screen is cracked. . Do the manufacturers really have any idea how the features of their very own phone work?

kbourgerie @kbourgerie (8780) • United States 21 May 16

After such a long hiatus from Mylot I spent a long time last night and this morning trying to come up with ideas for discussions and I think I must be brain dead because nothing is coming to mind. Except for this. What is the...

Its Been A Very Long Time

kbourgerie @kbourgerie (8780) • United States 21 May 16

Can you committ?

kbourgerie @kbourgerie (8780) • United States 3 May 09

I used to believe in commitment once upon a time, but then life and relationships happened and it became less of a priority for me. I remember believing in the sanctity of marriage and wanting it to happen and for it to last. I...

Have you raised your pet from birth?

kbourgerie @kbourgerie (8780) • United States 1 May 09

My son and I own a cat which we have had for just under a year. I would imagine she was born right about now a year ago or was close to being born if nothing else. After 10-11 months of having her here in my home, it has surprised...

I had to take the day off yesterday and make an emergency visit to the dentist to have a tooth pulled. I had taken several Vicodins and even had a Heineken to help with the pain. Dumb I know, but I was in a lot of pain and would...

kbourgerie @kbourgerie (8780) • United States 24 Apr 09

I continue to receive calls and letters stating that my auto warranty is running out. Pretty funny considering I not only don't own a car, but don't have a drivers license. So yesterday, I get another one of these warnings in my...

Another laptop question.

kbourgerie @kbourgerie (8780) • United States 24 Apr 09
