I am making this entry using a Compaq Presario with Windows 95 and AOL 7.0! I had to put my Dell in the shop this week. I started getting STOP Errors, then other mysterious things began happening, so I guess I have a corrupt file somewhere. I'm so careful about running virus scans daily, updating my Microsoft software and drivers and checking for malware or spyware, but apparently something slipped through the cracks.
And my laptop, you ask? Well, it has a minor problem, and I've been forgetting to ship it off for the past two weeks now, so I can't use it. I'm taking it to the post office today to send it off to have it fixed. Thankfully, my PC is being repaired here in town, and I should have it back soon. In the meantime, I remembered that we still had this thing, and I hooked it up last night, and it actually still works!
Eler Beth says she wants it in her room to play games on when I'm done with it, but, poor thing, I don't think any of her games will play on it!
I've also been super busy this week, so not having easy access to AOL has probably been a blessing in disguise. (But by last night I couldn't stand it anymore!) I am feeling much better. I still have a couple days of antibiotics to take and I still have a little bit of a cough, but it's going. Slowly. Thomas is working 12 hour days right now, so I'm trying to make sure that when he gets home in the evening, homework has been done, I've done whatever running I need to do, and dinner is ready. It makes it nicer for him and for us, because then he can relax and spend a little time with us before he collapses, and we aren't all trying to do other things after he gets home.
Well, I just wanted to drop in and say "I'm still alive!" In a few minutes I need to go ship off the laptop and then I'm eating lunch with Eler Beth at school. I may be back later. I don't have any of my favorite journals saved on this PC, so it may take awhile to get around to everyone, but I'll be dropping by eventually. Hope everyone is having a good week!

I started life on AOL with version 7, Lori. And Windows 98 on a machine that couldn't really cope with it lol. Hope all your computers are back in order in short order
Hope they find out what's up with your CPU. Will you get a couple pictures of Eler Beth and you having lunch at school? I don't remember my Mom ever coming to school to have lunch with me. She was usually coming to see the Principal about something I'd done. Regards, Bill.
Bummer about your computer and laptop. Look at the things we will do to get back to our friends!!! Anything is better than nothing, I guess!!! Jae
I am sorry to hear about the computer. I bet it is nice when your husband comes home, and you can just kick back!

That's funny. You had to get out your old computer, the dinosaur! Good luck with the fix. I have a Compaq Presario, this is my second one! I hope it doesn't give me any problems for a while. Gerry
So glad you are feeling better. Hope you get your computers back soon. I know how that is. Lucky you still had the dinosaur! Hope you are having a nice relaxing weekend! Hurry back! Martha :-)
I hope your computer errors get fixed real soon! I hate when my computer is acting up, and yes, virus software is a life-saver!

I hope your Dell comes back soon, all shiny and almost new, and that you get completely over your cough!
Have a wonderful Turkey Day!
be well,
Dawn
