My first computer was a reel to reel made by Matel, I think, same as those ugly dolls. Next one was a Commodore.

I taught DOS at the local community college, among other subjects like Visual Basic programming, the Microsoft Office suite, Windows, Lotus 1-2-3, dBase, etc. I taught for both curriculum and continuing education.

The letting go of the familiar does seem to be getting more difficult with each year.<br /><br />Hey, I've heard that Strands of Pattern is a great read. You obviously have impeccable taste in reading material! :::ducking:::Jeff Hargetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198367021884647821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-60548906351359258042013-06-29T22:28:45.706-04:002013-06-29T22:28:45.706-04:00Actually Al, living on a boat is pretty good, if t...Actually Al, living on a boat is pretty good, if the boat is large enough of course.

Fire dragons don't live in the sea. Sea dragons can get nasty. <br />I would say a writer becomes professional when she makes a life out of it, or that's my best guess of the common belief. ;)Al Diazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08107619009321980764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-46317469887929077262013-06-29T13:03:30.802-04:002013-06-29T13:03:30.802-04:00OK bribery time, what will you pay me not to tell ...OK bribery time, what will you pay me not to tell Patches LOL.<br /><br />I somehow don't think of myself as a write as I don't write books. Hubby was talking about someone the other day and said "he's a writer" I said "so am I" his response "he's a professional". Hmm.

Maybe too much, as I have let go of the past, too easily sometimes.<br />And as a writer of poetry, and as a blogger - yesterday or today - you are a writer!<br /><br />Love German Shepard's too, just don't tell Patches! :)Yolanda Renéehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09085436784133103221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-49086478482110332572013-06-29T09:31:36.533-04:002013-06-29T09:31:36.533-04:00My son was married in Victoria last year on June 3...My son was married in Victoria last year on June 30 and we spent Canada Day at Buschart Gardens.

I have 4 or 5 favourites which have stood the test of time and I'm so reluctant to go to different ones as I'm convinced they won't be as good - and our meals out are limited to a couple a week.<br /><br />That recipe comes within what David would categorise as 'Farty Food' I think LOLSue Clinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15582183867336673426noreply@blogger.com
