Journal Journal: Levels of computer Hell

I'm trying to make a chart, any suggestions.

Level
Purgatory (Repenting Believers) You have been in computer Hell & never want to go back.

Level 1 - Limbo (Virtuous Non-Believers) No backup, anti-virus, or firewall, no problems yet.

Level 2 (Lustful) computer seems slower then usual, thinking of upgrading.

Level 3 (Gluttonous) downloaded one to many things, got virus or spyware that is difficult to remove.

Level 4 (Prodigal and Avaricious) Computer has multiple small problems, too much trouble to fix.

Level 5 (Wrathful and Gloomy) computer never seems to work properly, you want your old typewriter back.

Level 6 - The City of Dis (Heretics) You swear your computer is doing things you never told it to, it seem possessed.

Level 7 (Violent) Your computer has enraged you and you want to throw it across the room.

Level 8- the Malebolge (Fraudulent, Malicious, Panderers) You are inundated with SPAM and pop-ups. It's impossible to work.

Level 9 - Cocytus (Treacherous) Your computer or network has been compromised. You need to know how it happened and contain the damage.

Journal Journal: Drugs from Canada

I am getting really sick of all this talk of re-importation of drugs from Canada. It's really ludicrous.

The reason drugs are cheaper in Canada is because there are govermant mandated price caps. Lots of countries do this because it is politically popular and simple. The main argument against this is that the price caps cut into R&D. I'm not really sure if price caps are the way to go or not, but that's not really the issue I'm addressing right now.

If we want cheaper drugs we should vote price caps on drugs. Lets discuss the real issue instead of hiding it behind the re-importation issue. Re-importation is ridiculous. Our elected officials should call a spade a spade.

Journal Journal: Car problems

So my car has been making noise by the rear passenger wheel for awhile now (months). I thought it was a strut since that tire was out of balance for awhile and bounced around. Now I think I have a bad bearing, maybe this was the problem all along? So now my priorities are:

1. fix bearing on wheel
2. register car (plates expired in May and thier out of state)
3. check strut, replace if necessary
4. save for car that will fit 3 carseats in the back

I only have one car and baby number three is on the way. Hopefully he/she pops out in December so I can get the tax break, but he/she's not due until 1/5/2005.
