:( Sad sad...

Corel bought out Ulead, along with PhotoImpact and the Ulead video program. Now.. Corel is shoving PI out the door and will no longer be making updates to PhotoImpact. They do still have boxed versions of PI X3 for sale and downloads. When the boxed version is all gone the download version will still be available. I LOVE PhotoImpact, ok... I LIKE it a LOT, better than PSP or PS. So much easier to use.

Here is the link to the Corel PhotoImpact page if you want to purchase the boxed or download version or the upgrade.

Mom and Home

Mom is here for the summer and she usually goes home in October. She has her doctor's appointment towards the end this year. So, I browse the internet to book her flight. Dick, my brother, called up and said... don't come home yet!! LOL They have their house up for sale and you KNOW when the house is up for sale you clear out stuff, put stuff in storage cause you don't want STUFF in there. Doesn't matter if you are still LIVING in there, STUFF has to go and you live with the bare minimum. So most of Mom's stuff is in storage and most of Dick and Pat's stuff is in storage and they keep storing more and more. STAGING! Wonderful term for getting a house in order so it can sell. Keeps the occupants on their toes "can we come show the house at four this afternoon?" SURE! and it's three so you scurry to pick up, dust, sweep, get things spotless again. And of course, no personalization in the house, you want the people looking at the house to imagine THEIR stuff in there by not seeing YOUR stuff in there.

Am I rambling yet???

ANYway... we get to have Mom here for longer! YAYAYAYAYAYA Denny and I are happy about that. I get to beat her at Rummy some more! LOL And turn about is fair play cause she's been known to clean my clock in the game, too. LOL
