I don't get the connection between in-laws, wifey points, and sweet rewards. Are they related?

I can't tell if you're being serious or not so I'll explain it. I didn't want to go to Manning at all. It's a 3 hour round trip, we went to this church service, then to a luncheon afterwards. I had never been to this church in my life and my wife and I didn't know anyone there. I thought it was pointless and ridiculous (apparently my BIL thought so too because he didn't show), but I went anyway. My wife knew this. So she thanked me for coming later with a sweet reward.

I have the EEE 900HA and I love it! I think I paid $300 for it, but that was last November, probably cheaper now. I convinced a friend to get one and they love it also. It comes with XP installed so I put Linux on it and dual boot.

Yeah, same here - I'm looking at picking up one of those :Banane20: too. Where can I find one or are they only local?Anxiously awaiting your response.

Usually it the husbands that have to win some brownie points from the wife before they (wives) allow/consent with the husbands to have sex. Especially after childbirth when (all?) some women no longer see any further need for relations.
Is it clear yet?

I wouldn't say that. I would just say some points lead to a guarantee in that department as opposed to when one has 0 points, it's hit or miss.

Something tells me I'm never going to accumulate enough points.... .... uuuuuggggghhhh
I should have married a fat ugly woman, then it wouldn't be as bad. Temptations would be lower, and dissappointments less...

Also had an awesome weekend. Managed to dig-up the back-yard garden and prep it for the flowers to be planted next weekend. Also got my early summer sun-burn out of the way so I can get back to working outside again (once I get an early season burn, I just tan the rest of the summer).
My wife got an eee PC too. She really enjoys it. We got it hooked up to our WiFi with no problems at all. Came with XP (**** Vista sideways with a broom handle). The only issue we have is that it didn't come with Microsoft Office and since it doesn't have a CD drive, we're not really sure how to install it. Most of the other applications we installed we were either able to download online or simply email it to ourselves from our other computer.

I had the most awesome weekend. Dropped the youngun off at my mom's Friday night. Saturday went to lunch with the hubby, then went and checked into the Hard Rock Biloxi hotel and casino. Went for an 80 minute couples massage. Had lunch at the cafe afterwards, then a fancy dinner later, followed by seeing Ron White (he was at the Beau Rivage though). Great weekend. The room was awesome. The bed was super comfy and the shower was one of those three head fancy deals. And the best part was checkout wasn't until 2pm on Sunday so we didn't have to get up early and rush out. We even ordered room service for a late (10am) breakfast. Fantastic.
Give OpenOffice a try, it runs well on the EEE and it is free, and reads all the MS Office formats.
It works well for the most part, but I will be in the same situation because I need the real MS Access and the OO version sucks. Easiest way to do it is to plug in an external hard drive (I plan on getting an external DVD drive to watch videos anyways, only $67 for a DVD-RW), but you can probably put an image of the CD on a USB flash drive and do it that way.
Supe: I think I got the 1002 model, or something like that. It has bluetooth and the "9 hour" battery. It also came with Microsoft Office 2007 (Student Edition) pre-loaded, with a 60-day trial offer. I already own Office 2007, so all I had to do was input my product key to unlock it permanently. But, basically, what you should do is order one of those small DVD-RW USB drives when you order the computer. Then you can install whatever you want (but be careful, because you don't want to slow it down too much - it's not the fastest processor in the world) I got my drive for maybe $67, and the computer itself for $385 from a place called mwave.com - not because they're special in any way, but they're just about the only company that will ship out here.
Wolverine: I agree with cement - go check out the Atlanta Hash. Should be fun, and I have heard they can get pretty wild there (a couple of former Saipan Hashers moved there and joined up, but they've since moved on). Excercize, beer, dirty jokes, and :Banane20: What's holding you up?? :dunno:
