I am having computer problems.  I couldn't get my antivirus to manually scan so I download a couple of things at my cost.  I ran them...they were to clean up my unwanted/unneeded files on the computer...temporary files, history, search history, etc.  Now I can't get logged into SrNet or even my Embarq home page.  So Embarq told me to uninstall those two things...I did and still the same.  Then they said to uninstall Firefox and re-install.  I did and still the same.  Then uninstall Embarq Online Security and re-install.  I did but can't re-install because I can't log in to Embarq.com!!!  I sent them an email last night after midnight but haven't heard back.  CS is the only thing I can log into!!

And I can't remember what told me I had a Malware virus in my computer!!! 

I have done a restore system back to Tuesday morning.  Ran what used to be ScanDisk.  Rebooted several times.  Turned off the power on the modem and back on.  Nothing is working!  I need a Larry to help me!   

So I am off and running to see what else I can do. 

And I need to mow today!!!

A third of 2008 is just about over!!!

Everytime I change forums, I have to log in again.  And it won't let me log in to comment in 'The Gallery'!  And I had to log in again to post this...and tried about 4 times before it took!  HELP!!

Sounds like your browser won't accept the cookies, Etta Sue but Larry is the one to help here.

I'm so sorry.

Pat, that was the same thing I was going to suggest to Etta Sue.  Initially I would suggest using System Restore but see that has already been tried without effect. 

Etta Sue, I think I might try a system restore back a week or ten days ago.  Since you only restored to yesterday you could have picked up a virus or malware within tha time frame.  I sure hope you don't have to restore your computer to factory condition.  You also might try starting in "safe mode" and seeing if you can run your virus checking software.  I really don't know what else to recommend.

I talked to Embarq and when I deleted a bunch of cookies and registry stuff, it changed the privacy settings on Firefox.  I could log in on everything in IE but not Firefox.  The guru got me set up again.  Whew!!  I couldn't even log into Embarq to download Embarg Online Security that is uninstalled.  I have it downloaded now and plan to do a manual scan when I am done here.  I am back in business once again!  I knew it was something simple but I couldn't figure it out. 

Pat and Larry...you were right...it was my cookies that was changed. 

Oh, Etta Sue, I'm so happy for you.  It really is frustrating when things don't seem to work.

Well, Larry I took your advice (at least a LITTLE bit of it). 

When I began to finish up my time log file that is turned in last day of each month, I realized that I ended up with almost 40 hours of late-day and Saturday work for the month. So, it was about 5 pm, 30 minutes before time for me to leave, but I felt quite comfortable in sending that file off to headquarters, then shutting the computer down for the remainder of the day. 

Shelby the dog still seems to be doing well, although she's more sore today and moving a bit slower. Now to keep her from licking it. I may have to go by the vet's and get one of those Elizabethan collar things, for I caught her curving her poor neck around so that with her long tongue, she could actually get to the incision!

Otherwise, a nice day here in Nashville. And, a friend at work dropped by my desk at 11:30 and invited me to join her in the cafeteria for lunch. What a nice surprise!

Y'all have a good rest of the day, friends.

  Good evening to all.  I dont know how my post this morning came up twice but at least the proper one did work.

Today we got our front lawn done by the landscaper they rolled it and did the airirating and also spread the grass seed so we are finaly starting to get some spring things done around the house.

Then the wife and I went to visit some friends whohave just come back from western Canada and are in the process of selling there  lovely house that they have in the beautiful old Village of Niagara On The Lake which is known for  the George Bernard Shaw Festival Theatre and many other famous events that have taken place over the years.

The drive along the Niagara parkway back to Niagara Falls is so beautiful and so many flowers so my wife and I enjoyed our visit and our time today away from the house.

Hope all is well with all on C.P.    Good night and God Bless. 

Busy day here today.  The girls are going to the Health Unit for an update on the vaccinations.  There is one that we are getting in the nick of time.  If this series vaccination is not completed by the time they enter Grade 9 whether home schooled or in the system, the cost is over $440 to the parents.  I am so glad I checked into this when I did.  The girls last shot will be the 28th of August.

Our brother Murray is having surgery today.  Please keep him and the family in prayer and that the Master Physician will guide the hands of the surgeon.

John is getting a computer satellite link in his truck on Friday.  This will be a test for the company and he is looking forward to seeing how it will work.
Pat I think John may be calling you today or tomorrow.  You could try him on his cell.

Well I am off and running

God Bless

Good Morning everyone.  We seem to be dwindling down on posters here lately, people traveling, being sick and what not. I pray that everyone who is traveling will have the angels set all around them. that those who are ill will be healed in the name of Jesus.

Etta Sue I am glad to hear that you got your computer back up and running the way you want.

Larry you are so good about helping others with computer problems. Thank you for that.

Ruth Ann good that Shelby is going to be fine. It reminds me to keep on checking my two all over to make sure they don't develop something that needs to be taken care of.

Pat 23 more days until your wedding day. Are you nervous yet?

Keith is taking me away on a vacation next month to a surprise destination, I will not know until we get there. That will be exciting.

Well must go now Hello to Samantha, Jane, Nita, Karma, Nards, Carol, Al, Scotty, Kathleen, Colin, Jeannine, and all the  newbies who have joined us lately.

All y-all have a great and blessed day.

I was really nice to get the yard mowed yesterday.  It seemed to look extremely manicured for some reason.  Then I showered and washed my hair.  After that I did three loads of laundry.  So I had a mowed lawn, a clean body and all my clothes were clean, dried and put away!  Good day.

I gave my third place photo winner to Ivalou.  It was of a tree in her back yard and then PSP'd.  She is redoing her spare bedroom for guests this summer and the picture is going on a wall that is vacant now.  She just left after I put it into a different frame that I had.  Later I will go see how it looks.  Hope she is pleased. 

Ivalou goes Monday to see about getting a different sleep mask.  Seems she isn't sleeping well and gets tired so easily.  And Kaye Don is having to wear the thingy on his finger at night to register his blood oxygen levels.  Then will take the case somewhere to be read.  And I should get a phone call from the doctor tomorrow about my echo-cardiogram.  If not, I will call them Monday.   

Not fun getting old.

Today I need to help Ivalou move a cabinet from her house to her garage and then if I am really ambitious, I will bleach and scrub my resin deck.  The north side is really yucky from mildew or mold or something dark.  It isn't hard work...just back breaking from scrubbing and lugging the hose around to hose it off.  If ambition doesn't hit, then I will watch TV and scrub another day!!

Hi Everyone...

Don't you find sometimes during our busy days that we drift away from thinking of our wonderful relationship with our Heavenly Father?  We get so busy and frustrated over things that don't seem to be working out or finding out that we forgot to do something that we should have done or phoned someone we should have phoned and oh, life is so complicated.

Well, I was listening to a wonderful song on a new CD I got and the words really spoke to me for situations just like this.

Hi everyone.  Another truly great day here in Georgia.  I took Pat to a dental appointment this morning for a filling.  She had really been dreading it but don't think it was too back.  She was in the dental chair only 30 minutes.  Then later this afternoon I will take her to Kaiser to see her doctor about her high blood pressure.  She has been trying to deny that she has a problem but can't anymore.  Then we will stop at the Texas Roadhouse for dinner as she will be tired from all of this activity today.

Just had a very enjoyable chat with Paul on the phone.  We talked about phones, computer matters and other things.  

Etta Sue, you sound very industrious.  I think we will have to have our house pressure washed this year to remove mildew.  We have alumimum siding so it is not damaging anything but doesn't look very good on one side of our house and on our screened in porch.  I also need to get the air conditioning man in for the annual check of the unit.  Sure glad you got your computer problems solved.

Marilyn, I also have noted that fewer people seem to be posting at this time.  However, I think this is normal for discussion boards as we have seen this over and over on SeniorNet, especially in the spring.

Judy, I am sure John will enjoy the satellite card in his computer in his truck.  I hope the experiment goes well and that will be something that his company decides to do.  It sounds like you were fortunate to check into the vaccinations.  That would have been very expensive.  I will be checking for news of Murray as know you and Pat, as well as others, are very concerned for him.

Gord, that sounds like it would be a wonderful drive.  Are your friends relocating to Western Canada?

Ruth Ann, glad you were able to use a little bit of the information I shared about the computer.  

Hi Pat and all who stop by later today.

Our brother, Murray, is out of reconstructive surgery and the family says that they were very much aware that they were being prayed for during this very difficult waiting time during surgery.

They will do radiation therapy in about a week or maybe 2 and then a further bout in about six weeks.

Please continue to pray for our brother who is a very special man.

Marilyn:  First you have a shaking and now you are going on a mystery trip - something is happening all of the time.

Pat & Judy:  Prayers for your brother, Murray and his family as he goes through the radiation treatments as well. 

Larry & Etta Sue:  We don't have mildew - we do get dust though.  Right now it is so chilly and there is a snowstorm in the mountains that we can see a lighter part of it in the foothills.  Oh, please let the springtime come. 

All kinds of people in our house & a handyman is fixing some tile in two bathrooms so we can't use them and so grateful to have a little toilet in the basement.  We are taking out about three pieces of furniture to open up the view here & the handyman is helping lift a loveseat.  We still have laptop awful problems but did get the phone fixed so there are two places to answer in the house - I have been running up the steps   

Carol - is your house for sale all the while that those changes are being made?  You're going to be all worn out going up and down if it doesn't get done soon.  May our Lord give you extra grace.

 Hi, everyone; I just got finished mowing my the lawn next door, and I'm pooped.
My mom and I stayed up, late painting my sister's bunk bed. We had a lot of fun,
but it's hard work.

Hi, friends, I spent some time researching medicare health plan supplements after work this afternoon, then got a haircut.

Tomorrow's going to be a reunion of the 8th grade class from the grammar school I attended. It is timed to coincide with the 50th high school reunion of essentially the same people. That reunion will be on Saturday.

So, a very pleasant weekend seems to be on my horizon.

Also a medication change seems to be helping me feel better. At least a lot more energy today, so that in itself is quiet helpful.

Y'all have a good rest of the day.

Sounds like a lovely time ahead for you, Ruth Ann.

Take some photos!

I'm back home!  And so happy to be here, too.  Originally we planned to stay until Saturday, but we just couldn't take it that long, so drove home yesterday--all 900+ miles.......eighteen hours.     I was SO happy to get out of that pickup!!

Very busy day today, and now it is getting late.  So I will try to give you the short version tomorrow.  I have decided that our humble home in a farm shed is truly a haven, a real mansion for us.  A mansion of peace and rest, a refuge from the world, at least at times.

I have read all the posts, and ask God to bless each one of you.

I got the email from Fran Krause's son about her death, so sorry to hear that.  I never met Fran, but so enjoyed all the emails she sent me.

So glad to have you home, Janet!

I know all about those miles!!! 

Good morning all,

I have read and prayed. Pat, are you getting nervous?

It is lovely here in N. Ireland, Colin and his family are absolutely wonderful. He has taken me to see Mt. Slemish and the waterfalls in Glenariff. We have taken tons of photos and videos. This is a most wonderful place to rest and relax and just chill out.

Will write more soon.

Still Trusting In Him,
Jeannine

Good Morning everyone.

Welcome home Janet, now it is time for you to get rested up. Do you have to go back to work real soon? Or do you have the weekend to rest?

Hi Jeannine good to hear from you, how much longer are you going to be in Ireland?

Hi Ruth Ann enjoy the time with your old classmates  haven't seen or heard from any of mine since High School.

After work today I will be on my way to Oregon, this time I am going to try to remember to call Jane and Nita. We get caught up doing  other things and going places and forget to make those calls. We are planning to go shopping on Saturday.

TTYL all y-all

Hi everyone.  Today was coffee a the Senior Center and we had a good turnout this morning.  Then 4 of us went to walk at the church gym.  I think that is it for me today in terms of going anywhere. I am looking forward to a quiet day today.  It seems this has been a busy week.  

Pat saw the doctor yesterday afternoon and he put her on blood pressure medicine.  So now it will be a test for the next few weeks to see how she reacts to it.

Jeannine, it is great to see you are having such a nice time in Ireland.  It sounds like Colin is treating you royally and this should be a wonderful vacation for you without the daily responsibilities of home.

Janet, how did you ever stand to drive for 18 hours.  After 8 hours I am exhausted.  We occasionally will drive 10 hours on the first day.  Glad you are home and I agree with you that there is no place like our homes to find peace and comfort.

Ruth Ann, it sounds like things are looking up for you.  Hope you have a great time at your reunion.

Scotty, it seems to me that it is always more enjoyable to do projects with someone than alone.  

Hi Al.  How are you feeling these days?

Carol, I heard the news about the weather out your way.  It looks like winter wants to hang on.  This global warming is really tough this year.    Know you will be happy when the workmen are finished.  It sounds like you will have a show place to sell.  Hopefully things will improve in the housing market very soon.

Pat and Judy, glad to read that Murray is out of his surgery and now the things needed for recovery can begin.  I expect he will have a long tough battle ahead.  

Marilyn, hope you have a great trip to Oregon this weekend.

Hope everyone enjoys the day.  I have a link to a beautiful site that someone sent Pat.  It is different because it is a page of links to some very beautiful things.  http://www.cuttyhunkroseinspirations.com/sitemap.html

Today I went with Ivalou for her to get her blood work done at the doctor's office.  Then we ate breakfast at 'Perkins'.  After that Ivalou had a bunch of stuff in the trunk and back seat for GoodWill.  'Deals' was nearby so we stopped there.  'Deals' is like 'Everythings a Dollar' store but something are more than a dollar.  I was good.  I only got a $2 16oz. can of Honey Roasted Peanuts.  Ivalou wasn't so good.   

Tonight we plan to see a play in the new high school auditorium at Lapel.  The students moved to the new school in January.  It will be our first time at the auditorium.  All 707 seats are good seats they say.  Then the 10th I have free tickets to see the Spring Concert in the auditorium also. 

Really strong winds today and suppose to have thunderstorms.  So no bleaching today either.

Howdy from a rowdy N. Ireland...well Jeannine is going down a storm over here!  I noticed the other day she was bent over in her seat as we drove along in the car. I asked her why and she said she had noticed a road sign which said bend for half a mile.  Just teasing! Seriously we have met a cow doing traffic patrol on a road coming into Ahoghill and then we went fishing....in the middle of the road and caught five salmon. Honest! Then the other evening Jeannine saw a horse being towed by a tractor. She is having a rare time indeed. I think she should post some pictures in here. I think she has taken about 1,000 now!
Take care everyone.

Good evening all,

If you go to the gallery you will find the cow leaving the traffic and the horse being towed by a tractor Thanks Colin for providing some wonderful entertainment. And yes I have taken around 1000 pictures, not counting videos.

Take care all,
Jeannine

Howdy, friends. 

No, Marilyn, I am not going back to work at my job until Monday.  But that doesn't mean I'm not working!  I am trying to get this place ready for the family reunion that is approaching like a runaway train--second weekend in June is the time.

This weather is nuts!  Today Kansas is having a blizzard!!  Not here in our corner, but up in Goodland, NW corner of the state.  And tornadoes all over the place.  Yep, that global warming is really a threat, huh?    We are having horrible winds.  Darrel is wanting to get the garden planted, but it is to frost again tonight. Sigh...

Beth is wearing her shoes!  I am so thrilled.  She hadn't had them in in many months, so that means the swelling has gone down in her ankles and feet.  These shoes have braces on them, keeps her ankles from turning over so badly.

Jeannine and Colin, it's wonderful that you are having such a great time.  And I would be taking scads of photos, too! 

Ruth Ann, I'm thinking of and praying for you.  Glad the dog is okay, too.

Etta Sue, Darrel asked me yesterday who I had called in Lapel, Indiana.    I had almost forgotten that I had called you.

Pat, the countdown is even shorter for your big day than for our big weekend.  Of course, yours will change your life!  How are you doing?  I wish I could just take off and come there for the wedding.

I have calls to make and a family newsletter to write, and I'm sleepy already, so I'd best get with it.

Hello to all whom I didn't address personally.  I do think about you!

Funny you should mention 50th Reunion.  2 weeks from tomorrow we will be celebrating our classes 50th reunion also.  All the work we've been doing for the last year will come to a head.  

Donna asked me if I was glad it ws going to be over.  I said no.  It has really been a labor of love...finding all those people and then talking to them, even if they cannot remember me.

Unlike an annual project for  the City of Wayne that I chair.  That job is more labor intensive and more and more each year these old bones are crying "Help"

Oh, my Ed...  I can't even begin to imagine planning a 50th for a School.

I'd love to attend but I would leave the planning to others! 

Looking forward to your being able to spend more time here, Ed.
