WOW! Thank you all for missing me! I was missing yall too, believe me!

Sheesh! Look at all the changes here! I still haven't investigated it all yet... it had just begun when I fell off the face of the earth again... with a little help from my notebook.

Guess I'll try and fill yall in on these last how many? weeks!!!

<font color="blue"> I did send my notebook out for an upgrade, supposedly just for that weekend that DocJohn was upgrading the site, too. Convenient for me, I thought.

Well, I had just missed the UPS guy and so I sent it FEDex... another day delay ok so what? I thought... but then it was the weekend... so it was 2 more extra days out... but I didn't worry, the tech always sends it back the way I sent it (overnight, 2 days guarantee... etc.)

Well, it didn't come back. I went through all sorts of conniptions because I hadn't really insured it for the full value... only what it would have cost the company I bought it from, custom made blah blah blah... I freaked.

Gee,,,, this is going to be a long post folks. Anyway, with my PTSD and general REactive response to anything not "norm"... it took me nearly a week to remember that it had a tracking number... and I tracked it to being delivered! Ahhhh.

So I called the tech with the info wondering where my computer was... that was a good question. It took them a while to find it also, but it had been fixed (didn't need the upgrade I thought I did, just some adjustments to run better sigh. no charge.) and once they found it, they sent it out overnight! That was nice of them I thought...

BUT THEN THE HURRICANES began... I did ok, really, even though triggered terribly (my disabling injury occurred during a thunder storm) but for Ivan, I freaked again.. that's another story I'll tell in another post....

Well, as it turns out, I couldn't access the internet because of a glitch that wouldn't let me view pages! I still have the problem but have realized how to reset the settings to allow me to do so, it just boots without the ability. (Another post somewhere else sometime..??)

THEN I tried dummy me, to install a program that allows my notebook to use my wireless phone to access the internet in case of no phone line available. Seems it wont dial the phone... so still, I was unable to get on. Arrrgggghhhh!

I evacuated for Ivan, btw, so I was not even "home" to try and figure things out and there I was, with the thing not acting right and me trying to change settings to be able to get on from different locations! A few times I actually accessed the internet but got dropped or blocked. Things changed often and I could not keep up with them. I am finally home, and also back here.

Anyway HERE I AM! It's good to be back. Thanks for all your good wishes... must have been such that kept me going.
