Lost my post!
Just wanted to say my daughter now has a computer, YIM n a 360 page! Sherrie L on my friends list! I had lots of other things I said, lol but they poofed n I need to get the house ready for Hubby to come home!
Now Boopie, oops, sorry, Sherrie, says I embarrass her a lot. Good chance she'll poof her 360 page right off! Im thinking this could be great fun! Yes, Sherrie is Scooch n Alainas Mom, my oldest daughter. She hasnt got her page going yet but itd be neat if you popped in n left her a lil comment! Dont have to of course!

There are so many people I haven't "seen" in so long I can barely stand it!
I have satellite internet now, I'm hoping it helps w the troubles I had w 360 before. At least it shouldnt take 1/2 hr to open a page anymore. It was funny, I guess lightening affected my internet right after I got it n I thought satellite internet was just lousy! I got another new modem n wow, it works lol. Nothings ever gone right in this log cabin first try.
Today we got one of our kittens back, Cuddles. She was messing on their floor. We had 7 cats, lost the oldest Fluffy and our Fav the Maine Coon Cat Davey Crockett about a month ago. I guess by now I need to accept they're gone. I still have this crazy hope theyre living w a neighbor. Theyve been gone for a week a few times n come back not hungry n seeming well fed. I really dont want to mourn them, I prefer thinking they'll be back.
For those who dont know, the oldest girl under my pics is Alaina, my 9yo granddaughter. The youngest is Scooch, shes 3...sort of lol. Born Leap year day so shes sort of one n sort of almost 4. I had to debate which of our many pets to use. Thats Sox in the hammock in the window. Shes sister to Cuddles. Cuddles doesnt seem to know her name?
Hubby just came back w pizza. If the girls are happy I'll be back after we eat. If not, you all have a very Merry Christmas or enjoy the Holidays if you dont believe in Christmas!

Ok, FINALLY 360 isnt turning off my computer YET! Freezes, shuts me off, grr! It was making me cuss so often I gave up! Last time I almost tossed my computer so decided I needed a break!
I just started on Multiply, perhaps that will work? Maybe 360 will get better? Maybe maybe maybe!
Could be a setting on my computer, seems all Yahoo kicks my butt! Yup, operator error lol.
I dont see much sense in writing since Im not sure it will go! I'm hoping to hit friends pages and be able to comment but I have doubts. I hadnt changed anything, no idea why it just wouldnt work anymore?
Love to all n really hope I can see your pages!

Hello! Its a sunny Sunday, high going to be 62. Quite nice?
Hubbys friend doesnt have the equipment needed to dig our driveway, renting its $300 a day so I dont think we get cable. I did notice the "other" satellite co in our area has internet. I'll look into that tomorrow. Id like to get one of the deals w phone, tv and internet but doesnt appear to be a possibility for under $4000 all added. I hear satellite internets expensive, we'll find out. Also I called Verizon before to see if I could use computer n phone at the same time n they said Id have to dig n pay for wires and installer like w the cable I was trying for. Kathys says they have an adapter, she uses Verizon too. Dont know if its new or not in our area. My computers working well even if its slow, I can settle for that, but I need to drop the guilt over tying up the phone line.
Junebug was writing about catching up 360s n FT n My Space. Good luck Hun! I have comp or health trouble I take forever catching up just Ft n 360 n I dont have as active a friends list as she does! Doesnt it make you really feel like somebody when she's behind n hits your page? Does me. Dont ever want anybody stressing over it tho.
I wasnt going to write about it here but my step daughter had an accident yesterday. She and the baby are ok. Had a fight w BF n chased after him after finding the keys at 70 MPH hilly curvy country rd. Sees him around a corner, slams the brakes when itd just started raining. Misses him by 6-8 ft and hits the rocks side of the rd. All airbags went off, blew out windows, pushed in the front of the van. BF was upset about his unborn son n the van. Shes mad hes not more worried about her. I can see that but it was her decision to get upset n speed, not the babies and her choice could have killed all three of them and anybody else on the road. I think Id be mad at her too. Shes also mad the towing co wants $150 for her to get her car seats out of the van. Im so glad her Mother was home n she didnt take her 4 or 5 kids w her! Somehow the whole family blames BF, I can only see it as her fault?? Yup, they fought, shared blame there. Hubby told her she cant drive anymore. Shes in her 30s.
Yesterday we were trying to split our wood pile. We'd rented the splitter for one day. I bbysat while Hubby n Heath went to see if Melissa was ok, that wasnt easy either. I totally hurt myself n my knee doing the wood. Hubby stressed really bad all day. He came close to hurting us n I had to tell him I wouldnt take it. He just expected to get more work done than we could w the hospital n 4 kids. Also took a lot to borrow a truck from 25 miles away to tow the splitter here n back. He also wanted to be sitting w his brandy in time for the Red Sox Yankees game. $65 a day for splitter charged again if we couldnt get it back in time. I don't accept anybody getting hurt because somebodys stressing. We don't hurt each other. He threw the trash across the liv rm n it was full of half eaten ice creams n juices etc from the kids. I told him HE was cleaning it up n he says now he has to clean the house too? I told him Id clean it just get out. He was trying to get the treadmill out, told him Id do it, he says one person cant. Yup, its on wheels. Get out of the way. Reminded him Id had surgery and pulled it out but he pushed when I got it through n down I went. Too much like pushing me. Final straw. Told him not to come back til he was human not wild animal. Of course the kids were asking non stop questions all day n getting into things. Only natural. He really resented them being here. He just set too high a goal, esp if Melissa was having an accident that day. That does not mean anybody gets abused. We prob got 2/3 of the wood done n we dont have enough wood. I hurt, esp my knee...all up n down my leg. Im supposed to do SOMETHING today but Im not. I have a softball game Im going to love sitting through. Kids are coming w one friend. Tiffs coming to get more of her knick knacks. Im slowly cleaning up the rest of the mess from yesterday. THATS IT!!! Absolutely no outdoor work unless its feeding the birds. I thought I could get away w just pushing the lever on the splitter but it never works that way. That thing vibrates hard too n Im not supposed to use things like that. Lots of restrictions I cant follow. I enjoy splitting wood if thats all we're doing. I dont even mind stacking it if theres nothing else I need to do.
Time for the girls. Love to all.

Hello! What a marvelous bunch of friends I have! So busy and dealing w Fibro, still taking care of others, taking on too much. Real life just keeps happening no matter how sick we get! I find it so inspiring reading what you all go through, the things you do for others, the things somebody should be doing for you!
I've had a virus or something for 3 days. Didnt eat for two n still had an "accident" this morning! My daughters bringing me some med..
Cable is going to cost over $3000! We get to do all the work, buy all the conduit etc, pay $3.60 something a foot for the wires! Have to pay half up front n who knows about the other half. Getting major run around about marking the property too. I have to dig along electric line (underground) so cable follows it but I dont know where it is! I have to mark where we want to dig before dig safe comes out n tels me where the underground lines are?? says my ticket will be invalid if I dont premark? So I asked n asked, sounded soooo stupid! Yup, I can mark my entire property as long as the area I may dig is marked?? Has to be 3ft deep so the short straight path through the woods is out. Scooch n I walked the woods 6 times w string trying to come out straight w power pole we couldnt see n the transformer on our property! So woody n rocky no way anybody can dig it! So along the driveway. Cable guy says he doesnt care if it follows electric, he wont know where it is anyways. Course he will, dig safes coming to mark it! Guess it need to hit the transformer area and everywhere we have lines going in or meters. Lumber co said I could use 3/4" conduit, cable guy says 3" but hed accept 2" if not over 300 yrds. I had to measure n had nothing to measure with. I tied some twine to the pole n ran it up to the house, slack. Marked the end distance w green marker. Rewound the whole thing (what a tangled mess I wove lol ) Measured it against a table top I knew was exactly 3ft lol. 670 feet! Times 3.60 something n w inside guess just the wires 2,500! I thought installing satellite was bad! About the same I guess. 3 ft deep the hole needs to be, says we dont know if we'll run into ledges either. Hubby says NO! Hes caving tho. He knows somebody who may have a front loader or something that can actually dig it. No way my tough sweet softball ladies can dig that, unless a month of Sundays! So last night I went out w flagging tape n orange spray paint, tied the tape to the trees on the edge of the driveway n the pole n house, sprayed the paint in the dirt n grass n middle of driveway. We were thinking side of the driveway, trees are right there along w a ditch full of water, prob not good lol. Seems to me the middle of the dirt driveways much better, its higher than the tire paths still causing ppl to bottom out even after many many truckloads of gravel n inch minus. Dig there put the extra in the tire tracks. Makes sense??? Not hand digging it doesnt but if he gets that guy w equiptment? I know theres one monstrous rock in the middle somewhere, we tried n tried n couldnt get it out. Course the pipe doesnt bend, they have slightly curved pieces you can use, tho lumber co didnt know how much it cost. Wonder if the have shorter conduit for that corner? Do all homeowners go through this??? Id been pacing n thinking it wasnt right n upset I had to mark where I was digging before I knew where to dig, lol. Decided to call electric co, see if they had a record of where it was. They said theyd never heard of anybody needing to do what I was told to do, said cable cos responsibility. Call cable co back n electr co beeps in. Shed talked w others bout what I said. Told me to just mark the pole, mark the transformer , the meter n part of house where wires go in. THAT I can do lol. And I marked where I hoped to dig, so we'll see!
My computer froze. Im going before I lose you!
