This weekend I decided to turn off SC for awhile and listen to some music while I cleaned out my closet and looked through some boxes of old pictures, papers and junk.
 
At first I thought about the radio, then of the CD option in my tower which I have not even done in awhile.  I was in too big of a hurry to even do that, so then I remembered "Yahoo Radio" and went off to Launchcast radio------and picked 70's rock to listen to. 
 
I dragged out things from my closet best left undescribed---but I will.
 
Old school albums
Divorce papers
Surprise!  My old social security card I had thought I had lost
A phone # and address for a relative I had forgotten about
My certificate saying I could legally sell alcohol for 5 years  (now outdated) 
U-Haul reciept for when we moved up here almost 2 years ago
 
Such memories all buried in the closet.......
 
Then all of a sudden the good music just stopped after a spectacular rendention of Marshall Tucker Band's "Heard It In A Love Song."
 
I finally got my creaky self off the floor to look and see why the music had just ended.
 
What did I see?
 
A message from my computer---It said:
 
"Are you still there?  You have been streaming for awhile now."
 
I cracked up.  Ok----yes, I was busy!  I moused my way back into the music, all the while wondering why they were interested in what I was doing in the floor.
 
Stop Watching Me!
 
(If I can find it, I will come back and add that song just for GP's.  It's a good one, and was mine and my ex's song, who I just talked to tonight!)  Still afraid of minimizing SC and going in search of YouTube--so give me a minute to edit.....I can't write this again!

    Too bad about that alcohol thingy!
  • wombat said on May 05, 2008....

    pickersplock:  Ok......ha.   Just a licquer liscense that expired.   Maybe I could have bought a bar?

    I know, but I was just talking to Imnothungry!
    Maybe we could forge the date and slip her some gin!
    She's in the hooscow!

    I am not informed about the circumstances of this comment.....(I sound like a politician!)  what?  If I can help----here is some gin for the hooscow lady.

    the last time i cleaned my closet i found my marriage certificate.  i hadn't seen that in 23 years...
    it was in a box with mementos from my honeymoon...lol
     
    when my driver's license expired last year they wanted 2 forms of id...and i needed my marriage license because i have a hyphonated last name...i had to go get a copy of the dang thing because i had no clue where it was...
     
    funny what lives in those closets!

    Ooh, good song!  Hi Wombalina!
    Your computer is awfully nosy, don't you think? I mean, it's your floor, and if you want to stream on it for a while it's no business of your computer's, right?  You're the one who has to clean it up, not the computer.

    Does anyone else read the google ads on the side while you're waiting for the 59 second countdown?
    This one over here says "Find an Asian Bride". What has that got to do with liquor  licenses and u-haul receipts?
  • queenparanoia said on May 05, 2008....
    yeah i agree too bad with alcohol thingy...lol... =)
  • wombat said on May 06, 2008....

    secretlife:  I went through the same thing when we moved here from the south.  To get my liscense, I had to look for my birth certificate--and our stuff was still piled up in storage! 

    Twirlypants:  I thought so, too!  Oh, ha....I am slow!...."streaming" on the floor!  Very funny!  Sometimes I read the ads, and alot of the time they will relate to the post, but not this time, huh?  Maybe the word "divorce" was the key.....ha.  Or Computer Interaction!

    Queen:  It's no big deal.  Just a course I passed to be able to be a hostess at a bar/restaurant one time.  Didn't pay enough and I quit the job.

    I think I am in perpetual closet cleaning mode.  I'm going to try the radio thing.  I have dial up, but we'll see if it works.  :-)

    silverwhisper:  The message did say that--on the launchcast screen.  I didn't get a personal email or anything......ha.  I just thought it was funny too and wanted to share.  I am proud of my closet now.  Will look around for your blog about cleaning closets if you decide to post it.

    quietone:  I am having trouble with my videos---listening to them.  They keep starting and stopping and I have to hit the play button over and over, but I thought that was cute!  I hope my computer does not "know my name" in the real sense of the word.  Ha!

    CreativeWoman:  I am never in any kind of perpetual cleaning mode!  Hope the radio thing works for you.  I forget it's there, and well, either I am on the computer or not.  I guess I could use the minimize button and have it on for a background while on SC, but I guess it would stop at some point and I would know it was telling me to get off SC!   Ha!   I never think to play the radio feature, but they have lots of different types of music to choose from.

    i'll post it, it's just a question of when... :>
