Let me be the first to mention that fact. She last posted here like 8
days ago. I hope she's ok, but she was having computer problems and
was talking about putting hers in the shop to get fixed.

Just wondering. It's not like her to be absent for so long.

:-D

She's been gone so long someone bothered to write a fake post obviously
not written by her.

Yeah, she said she had problems downloading some newsgroups. I don't
know what the computer guys can tell her about that. Most of the
20-something geeks have never even *heard* of Usenet.

If she has trouble to the point of not being able to use her news
reader, she's probably lurking. Didn't she say she would read usenet
from google but not post from there?

On another site she said her computer had viruses but was fixed.
I'm sure she is lurking and waiting for your concern and will soon
be back to assure you of her continued contributions.

I'm back now! Computer had a bad folder. Shop had to repair it. Then I
was using the wrong password for Eternal September. Am sick though with a
stomach thing and have a fever so may be more in bed than on here.

It was a damaged mail folder. Problem was not just with newsgroups.

No. I looked at Google Groups a couple of times but it's even too much of a
pain to try to read.

Perhaps from another site...here is a quote from it.

"> Have not seen you on the board recently. Hope all is well.

It is now. Computer had been going slower and slower and then finally
failed to reboot a week ago Thu. Computer was in shop. Angela has a little
Netbook that I did borrow but I didn't want to have to download a newsserver
onto it since I knew she would never use it. And I hate to access via
Google Groups.

Computer was actually ready on Tues. Shop called while Angela and I were
out attempting to dig ourselves out of the freak blizzard that hit (I think)
on Mon. Apparently they will no longer plow residential roads around here
or in Seattle. So while the main road was clear, ours was not. One car
swerved through a driveway three doors down and another spinout just past
there took out a stop sign.

Due to the snow, we were unable to do our Thanksgiving until today. My mom
wasn't able to get out and get the turkey. We are due for more snow on Fri.
Grrrr... Looks like the news was right about the bad winter here. And it
isn't even winter!

Oh! And the problem with the computer? Viruses. I don't know how I got
them but one disabled my Norton. Computer shop put Malwarebytes on here. I
did have it, but I was having some issues with Norton not functioning and
Norton said Malwarebytes was the problem, so they uninstalled it for them.
Bottom line, I trust the computer shop. I've known the owner for years and
know many people who trust their computers to him. He said the Malwarebytes
will work with the Norton."

Does that ring any bells?

WB Yes, I think it's even worse to read than to post through.

We won't use Norton! We've now had Kaspersky for 4 years and we are very
happy with it.

Welcome back! Ya know these days it costs less to buy a new computer
than to pay for shop time... hardware costs less than software, and
definitely costs less than techy time. Just bought a brand new
wireless HP printer directly from their site for half price. Arrived
today and works great.

My HP flatbed scanner has just packed up and I think it may be cheaper to
buy a new one.
I hate the waste that we put up with in electronic gear these days.

Our local shop charges $65 an hour with a minimum charge of $35 even
to look at the computer. "Take it or leave it" is the attitude.

That's very old information. Angela's Netbook broke some years ago. And I
don't have that computer any more.

Agree! I only attempted to peek in a couple of times because I had posted
and wanted to see the replies. I gave up after the second attempt.

Yep. Although I have never liked Google Groups, I do think they were easier
to read than they are now.

Shop was $90 plus tax. Don't think you could get any sort of computer for
that unless it is Little Tykes.

Here, it's about $250 or more no matter what they do.

Thanks! Am feeling better but spent the evening at the hospital with a sick
person. So... That's likely where I'll be when I'm not here.

The computer was in the shop. They didn't mangle anything. I know the
owner. His daughter used to dance at the same studio as mine. She's older
and probably off to college somewhere now but he does the music for our
recitals. Very good shop to take a broken computer to. They stand behind
what they sell too. When Angela's Netbook developed a problem, they loaned
her a computer while waiting for the part to come.

This computer was my dad's. It had a bad folder in the mail program. It
may well have been like that when I got the computer. I have only been
running it since probably the end of August. Or it could have come from an
infected email. Hard to say but no other problems with it.

My computer chair is broken though so am currently sitting on a folding
chair. I have two similar chairs behind me for the cats. They love them
and love to sit behind me. New chair is purported to arrive tomorrow. It's
burgundy. I bought burgundy pads for Jazzy and Jetta's chairs so they will
match mine. So now the colors in this room are burgundy, purple and brown.

I didn't cook anything today since I spent the evening at the hospital.
Bought our dinner at Target. Applesauce and crackers for me. Angela had
cheese, apples, pretzels and carrots. We're both getting over a nasty
stomach bug. I'll spare you the details.

Not planning to cook for the rest of the week since I may well be camped out
at the hospital. Bought some cooked chicken (not fried) for husband and
also some breakfast burritos and a raw veggie snack plate. There is still
some mac and cheese from Central Market that I was hoping he'd eat tonight.
I think all he had tonight was pumpkin pie. It was a stressful night for
all.

Is that enough words for ya? Enough drama?

Did your fairly new one catch on fire? :-o

All went well except for the part where I hurled all 4 smoked turkey legs
(one with a bite taken out of it) into the green bin. Wish I had been able
to read this newsgroup where you said not to serve them that way prior to my
serving them that way! But... The computer was in the shop by then. I
think... Found out that the store where I bought them *did* have regular
legs. A person I know said that she bought two and they were frozen. But
there were none when I looked. Perhaps will talk to the butcher next year
early on and they might hold them for me.

Glad to have my computer back! I do love my Ipad but my hand does not.
Thankfully due to my stomach bug I was able to heal the old Ipad hand. You
know, the thing where your hand resembles a claw shape and the muscles get
all tense and it can only be relieved by heat and/or a vigorous massage!

Hehehe. It was actually the sort of thing you would have done. I think
you're just mad because he did it first.

Yes! It did say that but... I don't know how that happened.

The portion of the chair that raised and lowered it would not stay raised.
I have long legs so need it fully raised. I noticed that my legs kept going
numb while sitting in the chair. And then I noticed that the chair was down
low. I was sitting with my legs draped across the floor. Took me a good
long while to realize that the chair was in fact broken. At first I thought
that someone or a cat was messing with the chair. And it wasn't just
lowering itself suddenly. If it had done that, I would have noticed. Nope.
It would stay up for perhaps 10-15 minutes then begin the descent. So...
It's out in the garage in pieces. Would have thrown part of it out if I'd
had the time earlier, but I wasn't even thinking about it when I took the
bins to the street and left. Then didn't get back till late. So... Not
only was a minus a computer but I am still minus a chair.

I don't think it is possible for me to sit in three chairs at once. My butt
is just not that big. I decided to get two new folding chairs because I had
this one (the one I am now sitting in) behind my computer chair. Orignally
I got it to sit in so I could watch Angela as she did her homework, on my
computer. But she has her own now and no need to watch her. But... The
cats liked to sit on it to be near me. And recently, they had been knocking
each other off of the chair because they can no longer both fit on it at the
same time. Jetta is about 8 months old now but slightly bigger than Jazzy.
So... When the computer chair arrives, this one will get folded up
somewhere. Meanwhile, both cats can sit behind me and both are insanely
happy.

I wish this hospital had those. I had the one folding chair in this room
today. They did offer to bring more in but we declined. At least if we go
tomorrow, we will be better prepared and can pack a dinner. There is a
cafeteria and they do serve healthy fare but very limited offerings.

I've never had one catch on fire, or heard of one from family and friends
that did.

LOl.

Way to work the dwarf like a marionette!
