IRC

IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat. I was telling my brother about this and he wanted me to send him a link to where he could download a program so that he could participate in some chats. I thought of the popular program MIRC but I went to their main page and found out that the chat program is not a free chat program. You only get to use it for 30 days. However if you go to Download.com and enter "chat" in the search box you should be able to find one of the free chat programs to download.

My Brother wants me to "Pimp" for him?

Now you know I thought this was a crazy idea when I first thought about it but later on (and it came to me while I was shopping at Shoprite) I realized that the majority of people I know are women because when I worked at Shoprite there were more women than men (except when I was working the overnights there). So I was shopping at the Shoprite and someone asked me how things were going and I started talking about my brother and then I remembered what me and my brother were talking about and I thought look at all these women here! I know a real smorgasbourd of women and some of them I KNOW that he would like. Some of them are young of course and I know that he would like them, some of them look like models so I know that he would like them too!

I'm not talking about dating. I'm talking about the "shipping" them off to him! Isn't it crazy what your mind can think about when you're not quite right?

My Brother Called Me Brilliant!

I guess it runs in the family but my brother told me about this particular job that he had to do for a client of his. It seems that they wanted to transfer some files and my brother couldn't figure out how to solve the problem. I mentioned a solution and that is when he called me brilliant! Well after I got finished laughing I told him that he probably would of thought of it a little later and the only reason why he didn't at the time was because he was trying too hard!

He told me he was about to take the computer apart to solve the problem and again I laughed because there have been times when I have felt the exact same way!

But its an odd kind of thing seeing that we are both computer-crazy and we will try to solve a problem - so much so that it becomes a "personal" obsession until the problem is solved!

I don't solve the problems all the time but you can bet that I gave it my all!

Hooray! I finally got my brother's picture on the side!

I'm not going to tell him though. I'm going to let it be a surprise!

I know he wanted me to put his picture on my blog and I told him that I would. It just took me some time to figure out how to get the picture on the side of the blog and not just posted as another entry.

My Brother is feeling better!

I'm glad that he is feeling better BUT I still think that he should go back to the hospital.  Our family has been known for its stubborness -  and yes that includes me too!  We got this thing about hospitals which is ironic because my mother was a nurse and I have worked as a nurse's aide - maybe that's why we don't like them!

I'll get another report on his progress soon.

My Brother Says "Hi!"

My brother emailed me a picture of himself and I have posted it on my webpage at:

http://sister2brother.bravehost.com

I want to add it to my blog but the picture is very big in size and I want to resize it so that it will fit on the side of my blog. I know my brother's anxious for me to get his picture up - Maybe he wants all the women to see him!

OH BROTHER!

I just found out from one brother that another brother is sick!  What is worse is that he refused to stay in the hospital after the doctor(s) wanted him to stay.  Doctors don't want you to stay unless they feel something is wrong and from what I have been hearing something is wrong.  So far from what I gathered he has pneumonia.  And add to that there is something wrong with his lung(s) and he has high blood pressure!  I have half a mind to put his name up on the Internet!  (But I won't do that - although I'm tempted!)

So what can be done?  It occurred to me that my whole family (and yes - including me) has this "stubborn" trait.  And that trait kind of doubles when it has something to do with hospitals and doctors and the like.  My brother tried to convince him to stay.  His wife tried.  I tried (Although I have half a mind to go and PHYSICALLY MAKE HIM go back to the hospital.  He's at home now resting in bed.  Since his wife has the day off she is taking care of him - but guess what - she doesn't sound too cool either.  She has a terrible cough and she's complaining of a "tickle".  I sure hope that she isn't coming down with something.

I hope my brother feels better soon.  If not we have some "convincing" to do!!!!!!!!

Smallville?

My brother just informed me that he is a big fan of this show which is quite surprising to me.  To me this just didn't seem to be his type of program.  Now me - I like shows like Crossing Jordon and "Bones" but these aren't his type of shows either.  I was a fan of Commander-In-Chief with Geenal Davis but this show was cancelled.

My brother definitely has different tastes in TV shows than I do!

Talked with my brother again today

We chatted for awhile and I told him how mother is doing better.  He, himself is recovering from a stroke as well.  His speech isn't 100% but we understand each other very well.  He told me that he was watching a gospel ministry show on TV which is very surprising to me because he never seemed the religious type before so I thought it kind of strange.

It was good talking to him today.

Well I finally got in contact with my brother!

Isn't that the way!  We call each other all the time but when something really happens it doesn't work out that way!  How did I finally get him?  I wrote him a letter!  It took about 7 days for him to get it but once he called me I knew right away that he got the letter.  It was just a short note that I wrote him about our mother having a stroke but once he got the letter he sprung into action!  Now I have his number and I tested it a few times just to be sure!

No email from my brother yet....

I checked my inbox yesterday and didn't get any new email from my brother. Usually after a while I'll get an email from him but the last one was back in August. I talk to him on the phone but sending email back and forth is a lot cheaper - but so far nothing......
