rummygus There was a long period in my life when I was consumed by frustration and rage stemming from my job. I had become a stranger to myself. Growing up and even into my young adulthood I was not the angry and miserable person that I had become in later years. It...

rummygus If you are using an Ubuntu Live CD the installation option will easily create a dual booting option for your computer. That's what I did for my first year of using Ubuntu. The Ubuntu installation process is as easy as installing Windows. Most of the time...

My good friends has had a block for about a month now, she's a nice gal and i feel sorry for her, she's been very sad recently and now she cant draw either! she's quite good at art for her age and she lets me use her computer...

rummygus Hmm... let's see. (scratches head) 1. She could "explore" her sadness. A grim idea but maybe if she tried to render feelings of sorrow in some manner it would help her move forward. 2. Avoid everything art related for a couple days. Focus on something...

rummygus Your cat permits you to read! You're so lucky. ;) My cat tries to help me type but he is a terrible speller. When the phone rings he starts "talking" loudly and won't stop throughout the phone conversation. The stubborn fur ball doesn't believe me when I...

rummygus Practice, practice, practice. When you first start you won't be creating masterpieces. You don't need "fine art" materials (and their high prices) either. That's just a sales pitch. As time goes on you'll figure out what quality of supplies you need. You...

rummygus Agreed. I've used Ubuntu for a couple years and tinkered with other distributions. Incompatibility issues, both hardware and software, are maddening. I'm at a point in my life when I no longer want to tinker with my computers. A computer is a tool and...

rummygus Good points. My teachers used up a whole lotta red ink "editing" my typed papers. Along the same line of thought as the difference between print and display is the choice of serif or sans-serif fonts. I remember reading that in printed media, serif fonts...

It never fails…at the first of the month when I do our major grocery shopping I don’t really have to watch what I spend. I know there’s more than enough money in the bank to cover it. But as the month goes on and funds dwindle...

rummygus Save all of your grocery receipts for a month. With a calculator add up all of those grocery receipts. Divide the total by 4 (4 weeks in a month). The resulting number is what you can spend each week for groceries and no more than that number. This is...
