Uhhhhh....no. Like all lithium-ion batteries they have a shelf-life. Can only be recharged so many times. iPods were (are) often criticized because they don't have a battery compartment like a telephone where you can just pop it out and swap in a new one when the old one no longer holds a charge. RIGHTFULLY criticized, I might add, as they charge you an arm and a leg to swap it for you.
Not naming names, computer geeks just buy a new battery and perform surgery taking the whole damn thing apart to get at the battery. An hour, $15 and small fingers is all it usually takes. ;)

This post could also go in the "song in your head" thread because I had "BtRoD" in my head for the next +/- 10 miles as it died at the start of that song.
THAT sucked!! Guess it is time to finally perform that surgery and swap out the battery....

Playing online with faster internet players that proceed to kill me with ridiculous moves on Call of Duty. Can't Playstation even out the game speed so I have a fighting chance instead of shooting at thin air.?

Ages ago I couldn't find my copy of DOTF, looked for it for ages , nothing, so ended up buying another copy. Now I find I've got two copies of it. Crazy, it's just turned up out of thin air. I knew this would happen if I bought a new one. I really need to put these cds in alphabetical order or something. Edited at: Wednesday, October 13, 2010 3:09:50 AM
Tendonitis Sucks! Typing is on my no can do list for this weekend. Well, as soon as all the pain meds wear off, then I'll be in the same scrape I was in this moring.
I hope the mega cortisone shot works.

I FUCKING HATE DRUNK DRIVERS!!!!!
My husband's best friend and his 14 year old daughter have just been killed by a fucking drunk pig. His wife and their 3 year old daugther are still unresponsive. All I know is that they have been removed fromt he vehicle and are in hospital being treated. I have no idea if they will survive or not. If she does survive, please God do not take her daughter because to lose them both will kill her surely. I have no idea how severe their injuries are but fuck fuck fuck all drunk drivers. When you choose to get into a car and you are loaded up on alcohol you are a fully pre meditated murderer. Nothing more, nothing less. I fucking hate this!
Those of you who on this board who know Jesus, I ask that you pray for these people, Pray that Vicky and Bianca survive and that the rest of the family are comforted. Those of you who don't know Jesus, I ask that you respect that I do and do not make any negative/ crappy remarks on this post. This is not the time. I need my friends right now.

This is a subject that could start another rant but I'll spare you guys. I no longer think about, care about,
or talk about the Music Hall of Fame, formally known as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I'm not bashing Rap.
I could care less if anyone likes it or not. I hate thinking that a (Rap) Artist Made it to the (Rock and Roll) Hall
of Fame. So that means you can add Jazz, Blues, Swing, or any other (form) of music so why not just call it the
Music Hall of Fame. It's a joke. I say, get the place out of your heads and forget about it. No support and it fails.
I bet he looks out for the cat on his next trip through. Of course he may run it over
