I have had to scale everything back so I bought an electric snow thrower, here's hoping it does the job.  I have a 6 car drive and I am not plowing the whole thing that's for sure, just one side will do.  Plus I have to do paths in the backyard for the dogs.  First I have to put the thing together and make sure it works.  That will be my Sunday chore, I have to work tomorrow. This job is pretty hard on me physically and my paycheques are pretty dismal.  I may have to go to the chiropractor to ease up some of the pain but that will eat one day's pay! I'm popping Tylenol 3 like candy.  I may have up my other pain meds to 3x a day but general if I take the afternoon dose I crash.  My other job the work may increase, if I can squeeze another 10 hrs a wk out of it I'll quit the second job.  I make more than twice the hourly rate of the second job at my main job.

Now I'll quit bitching and talk games:

I started M.T. Blackrow's Secret and I really love it.  It is gorgeous and the story plays out like movie.  so far the puzzles are pretty basic but enjoyable.  Lots of extras in the game.  Two thumbs up.  After this one I will be playing Secret Bunker (I have it and it's bumped to the top due to the love) and Inbetween Land from my challenge list.

I just got into a crypt in (Myths of Orion) and the only thing i got for all my troubles was a turnip  I don't even need a turnip.  What will I possibly be using a turnip for I don't even remember what I'm doing cause I waited for hubby to do a puzzle for me but I kept forgetting to ask him to do it so it's been like 2 days since I played.  I got up this morning and he had it done for me.  There's also 2 collectables in this game and I haven't felt they were hard to spot but i don't have hardly any of them.
Is M T Blackrow from Gamehouse?  Haven't heard of it.  I like games like movies.
ETA: now I have bread to go with my turnip.  The HOs in this game have very grainy graphics.  And my monitor is on the way out, text pages like this are okay but when a game or a video is on there's sparkling pixels all over the place in weird patterns.  Between the blurry HOs and the sparkling pixels and my bad eyesight I feel like I'm really going blind.
ETA:  I'm done straining my eyes, I just had 3 HOs in a row, that's what's nice about GameHouse, I don't feel like I wasted anything by quitting the game in the middle of it.  I can just go find something I'll enjoy more.

Anki, you lucky girl!  I don't even feel like we had much of a summer this year.  Oh well soon enough it will be spring.  I find the time just flying by.

TiramaSue - your last line in the post tee quoted gave me a little giggle.

Wendy - sorry the MT is Mystery Trackers.  The cut scenes are very engrossing and wonderfully done imo.  I played this for a couple of hours last night, I couldn't pull myself away.

Manor Memoirs - definitely does not have the charm of Austin or even Joe. His grandson never bothered me.  I think I commented on the decorations at some time, especially that vile green lily padlike carpet! Ick.  I haven't even finished it. It's just something I go to for a mindless half hour.

I do wonder along with Anki about the games. What do you all do?  When I finish a game, I delete it from the GM.  Even though when I load it goes to an external hard drive I always seem to find fragments of the games elsewhere.  How does everyone else manage their games?

Regarding teh sale of BF, at the present time, I'm doing nothing.  As things are now, you cannot save them to disc.  Vital info for unlocking the trial game gets stored in your registry, which is on your C drive.  You can download everything you own to an external drive, but vital bits are still going into your registry on your C drive. 

I play the game and delete it.  If I downloaded all 300+ games, my computer would run slower, defragging would take longer, etc.

If BFG decides to pull the plug on the download side, which I don't see happening in the near future, we will probably hear about it.  They could make arrangements with Amazon.com to allow continued access to purchased games, they could chnage how the games unlock allowing us to save to disk at that time.  They could do nothing (though I think it highly unlikely they would go this route).

I'm not going to spend hours making preparations for something that may not occur.
 

I'm not overly worried about it either, but still wonder what others do.  Like Tirama I am not keeping that many games kicking around choking up the works!

Lily, it is a long driveway, at least 4 long and at the top end I have space for two more on the side, there is a concrete pad.  I only have one vehicle though.  so I won't be clearing the side pad, which is where I have always parked.  That picture is puppy Winston. One of my favourites.  And I will, I am basically taking it when I get home from the job and the next morning.  Usually a script of 30 last me 6 months or more as I rarely take it. Not this time.

I just had my shutters installed and whatever they are made of it smells skunky!
