oh, yeah. i got pretty boneheaded from the medication and poured melted candlewax down the kitchen sink drain. duh! i actually knew better than to do that. lol. i was dumping the wax to use the container for other uses. all that wax didn't evaporate when i used it up with the candle warmer. it's a good-sized one, too. so, i've clogged up the drain pretty good. my hubby will fix it. kinda funny, huh? i'm just laughing at myself right now because it's the most ridiculous thing i've done so far. what can i say? gotta do something boneheaded while you're human, right? lol. whatever. yeah, windows vista is weird. thanks for telling me about the ribbons instead of the menu bar on the office word. i have no clue what the heck ribbon is like, but that tells me they've done the same to the software. no, i don't have the current word and don't plan getting anytime soon. i'm happy with the previous version anyway, so my hubby is going to install what we have from our previous computer. hehe.
