Last night D. was trying to load a Rosetta Stone Spanish program onto his desktop computer.  All of the sudden the connection to the internet conked out.  I did everything to get it going and absolutamente NADA!  So, today after I got done reading a vampire novel, I got on the phone to see if I could get tech support.  I called Cableone and the tech didn’t know shit.  I called Norton to remove the program that D. bought about a week ago.  I had tried to remove it myself, but it seemed as if the damned thing was possessed.  I could not uninstall it.  After being on hold for about 15 minutes, I finally got this nice lady on the phone.  Crap!  We were on the phone for over two hours trying to get the damn Norton installer, internet, and another one that I forgot the name of uninstalled.  I appreciated this woman’s help, but she kept putting me on hold.  Also, I had a difficult time understanding her.  I don’t mind people having accents because I love to hear people speak with accents, but this time my patience was wearing thin…with myself.  I was not paying attention because I was getting burned out, so I would miss some of what she was saying.  FINALLY, we were able to delete the freaking program.  I tried to get the internet going and pffffft nothing.  I called Cableone and spoke with a delightful man named Charles.  He was patient and had the best sense of humor.  Turns out the modem is F’ed up.  A service person is coming out next Friday to exchange the modem.  We have laptops, so we are not without the internet.  Still, it sucks having someone come out to the house and having to wait for them to arrive within a window of two hours.

I pouted for awhile, had a Pepsi, and figured out that this is no freaking big deal. Shit…the importance that I put on having a nice computer to access the internet.  I am lucky to have a job, house, car, and health.  I have four dogs that drive me nuts and so does D., but at least I am not alone.  Sure, we have a house that has not sold, it has been on the market for a year and two months. It could be worse.

After almost two years of not posting to this blog, I got a comment.  Thanks to Sandra, I came back to my blog.  I had forgotten all about it until I was reading my e-mail and saw that WordPress had contacted me.  So, I just had to appre

It has been two years since I created this blog and then, as usual, I quit writing for various reasons.  I won’t bore you dear readers with all of the highlights and crap  that has gone on the past two years.  Oh, but there have been some good things as well.

I am off to a fresh start!!!
