Sorry I've been away so long.

I have a very close friend, and neighbor who became very ill a few months ago.

To make a very long story short, after debugging my CD/DVD-ROM Drive, I awoke the next morning to find that my entire system had gone to computer pergatory. (It was as dead as a little grey fuzzy thingy behind a box filter) I don't think it was good enough to make it into heaven either.

Needless to say, since I am the one who uses it the most, I had to table the repair for the time being.

Well, I wish I could say my neighbor is doing much better, however, she was hospitalized again a week ago.

I had to order and install a new power supply for my computer, and once that was done I still couldn't get my Internet to work.

Days on the phone with tech support, trying everything under the sun, wishing I hadn't tossed out the last AOL CD I got in the mail(now that my drive was working), with everyone in the house breathing down my neck because now they all had an incredibly important NEED----AHHHHHHHH!

Well, the good news is that I only lost one guppy in the midst of all of this, and he died of old age. I'll have to look up on my Diary to see when he was born. Actually, I don't think that one loss is that bad considering the pathetic way I've been taking care of them as of late.

Time to practice more of what I preach, which is another reason that I've been absent....
Raised by guilt....
I don't know why the "Do-as-I-say,-not-as-I-do" gene, didn't get passed on to me from my mother???

Sorry for the long, meant to be short, entry.
