I told my husband about your fish because he knows a lot about fish (he used to have a gigantic aquarium full of all sorts of rare ones) and right away he said, "That ain't no regular goldfish!" Right about that time was when I got to the part about it being a hybrid. :) That is TOO funny!

You be careful if you take that task on. Honestly, I think you should let your man do it so you don't use up too many spoons :) I don't want you going away on hiatus too soon again! :)

Advice well taken. My husband's been trying to convince me of the same thing. I just feel bad for him because he does EVERYTHING around here. But I think you're right, I need to accept my limitations. :(

Wow, you've become quite the computer geek ;)

And that is one big fish...

Also, it is so great to have words from you every day. I hope you continue to feel better!

Forgot to add: there was a serious trojan warning over the internet recently, and in response to several other threats, my anti-virus didn't just update its database but the program itself. When I saw I had a 5K update... I really understood there was something really bad out there... I'm glad you got to straighten it out so fast!

Thank you! :) As far as being a computer geek the more I learn the more I realize I don't know. I think I'll always feel like a newb!
