My mom just doesn't like Wichita
Well Wichita doesn't like your mom either! ...whoever you are!
Random news, updates and reminders:
Air conditioning should be fixed soon. The reason it took so long was because the part was being shipped here. At least that's what the shady repairman says.
Air conditioning may be fixed, but Twin Snakes will stay BROKEN.
My lawn is growing back. My house will soon be a little less ghetto.
If you haven't yet been told, all guests are to use the bathroom upstairs. The one right by the door when you enter the house. This is to divert traffic from the downstairs bathroom. The downstairs toilet begins to sweat and leak if too many people use it. So family only uses the downstairs toilet.
If you guys want, I'll start stocking snacks and soda at my house for a modest fee. Just lemme know what you want and if I get enough requests for something, I'll comply.

Computer Repairs: I've had a lot of request for computer help lately. I don't mind doing free it for friends, but please realize I do it on my spare time. If you need it more urgently, I'll work something out with you. For the record I charge 50 dollars an hour and my clients/customers are usually satisfied.
For everyone who needs help please follow these 2 steps below before bringing them to me:
1) DEFRAG YOUR COMPUTER: Defragging your computer is an easy way to speed it up and should be a regular part of everyone's computer maintenance schedule. If you've never defragged your computer, do it today. You should notice a bump in performance. I'm asking you guys to do this before you bring me a PC to save some time. It takes longer to fix a computer if the computer runs slow. Defragging should be done at least once a month. Besides the performance boost, it will also increase the lifespan of your hard drive.
Windows XP users should go: Start->All Programs->Accessories->System Tools->Disk Defragmenter or go to Run and type in dfrg.msc
Windows Vista users should go to run and type in defrag
This will take a while (hours) if you have a big hard drive or if you haven't done it in awhile. I imagine a lot of you have never done it. So run it overnight or when you are away from the PC.
2)
Download and run Malwarebyes anti-malware. This tool is GREAT for fixing common malware/spyware infections and is pretty foolproof.
These two are the first steps that will address the two most common requests I get. "My computer runs slow." and "My computer is acting weird. I think I have a virus." Anyone can do these two things. The steps after get more complicated so they're harder for me to recommend to
everyone.
