dead computers and closed stores

my processor is dying. we managed to get the computer running correctly this time, so i'm posting about it and backing everything up. i backup weekly, but doing it again just to be sure and adding things i don't normally back up.  the computer also won't recognize my ipod--not a good sign. when i first woke it up this morning it was having problems so i restarted it. then when it came up, it had changed my email to jer's and was downloading all his stuff. also my doc had changed itself to programs i didn't use. for those of you non-mac people, it's like when you press the start button on the lower left hand corner and the programs you have there to come up first b/c they're the ones you use all the time had changed to whatever the computer wanted. we're looking into options now as for replacement. we were going to go to the store to look today, but it's good friday. turns out, all stores close on easter friday...even grocery stores. we didn't know that. we drove around for while figuring this out. they're open tomorrow for limited hours though, so that's good. we do have food for tonight, so that's good. we stopped by a dairy on the way home to get milk and bread. we were out of those.  new kiwi thing for you.  dairies. they're like convenient stores. they mostly have junk food and sodas. but they also have milk and eggs and bread. along with random other things like spaghetti sauce and brown sugar. it's more of a stop if you don't want to go all the way to the grocery store for something small. larger ones might also have magazines and stuff too. they are frequented by kids after school or just hanging out wanting to get a soda or snack. yep. your new fact of the day.

Perryville has a "milk store" which is just like you described it. I miss the milk store. They had milk in glass bottles that got really cold.
