McAfee has now been reinstalled and everything's working fine. Though, my dad spazzed yesterday afternoon when he found out that I had been online on my computer without McAfee, because, apparently, all it takes is one virus, then I'm going to have to throw my laptop in the trash.

And remember, if you ever decide to blow up at him and need a place to escape, my house is always open.

Hey, babe. LOL. I really like that idea. And thanks for the support. :-) Remember my mom that one time? :-P

Thanks, babe, for the open invitation. I might just take you up on it anyway at some point, since I miss you.

Parents can sometimes just need to have their tongues nailed to the tabletop. (Speaking from my own bitter experience as both a child and a parent.)

I'm sorry your dad is on such a roll.

Thanks.

And it's not your fault.
