It's been over a year since I've posted here at LJ but I didn't give up checking in and commenting from time to time. Somehow after losing Bernie, I just didn't know what to write. It's been a difficult year (in a month) but I think I'm slowly coming out the other side. I owe a debt of gratitude to

Well, I was afraid to post the good news too soon, but after 4 plus days I can say that my husband, Bernie, came home from the hospital on Tuesday and he's still here!

Well, my system is back and (knock wood) OK.  The problem is I have to practically rebuild everything from the ground up.  Resetting passwords, rebuilding bookmarks--all totally gone!, and catching up with nearly 100 e-mails.  I guess it's a good way to clean stuff out.  If I don't remember I had it in my bookmarks, I guess I can afford to lose it ( Read more... )

So far no good news with the virus/trojan horse problem.  My rig is with it's 3rd possible fixer and nothing yet.  I'm at my parents' house this morning so I thought I'd update those who may have an interest.  I'll get back to any  author whose work is 'on hold' ASAP.  I do apologize for the delay.  While I'm offline, I'm plotting unspeakable ( Read more... )
