45 Good and SimpleThings

Today R tried to go onto the internet without a firewall and virus protection and came up with 25 trojan horses (I'm not kidding). Our hard drive is FRIED because he lost our virus definitions and firewall software.

So I'm typing this post on a friend's computer. I won't be blogging again until we resolve this issue. Anyone who's into Astrology knows Mercury has been retrograde since July 4 and will be until September 4. That means glitches in communications (computers, wrong phone calls, missing emails and letters, bad orders, misunderstandings, and all sorts of things like that the wazoo). Today is an excellent example for me.

For my last post before I have to hang it up for awhile, I thought I'd leave this list with an invitation for anyone to add things to it if you like. I'd love to read your additions. Back when I can to read everyone's blog and write out my thoughts here. I'm going to miss everyone. Bye for now.
