Hi all,
We are back up and running again. I've really had trials with this computer. I hope I'v got all the bugs worked out now. Monday I thought I had fixed all that could be fixed, until the techs came out to hook up the DSL again. After what seemed like hours they finally discovered that my ethernet card had been damaged ( they said the school probably did that so no info could be recovered ) and that the one in my old computer would fit, but that they could not take the old one out and put the new one in for me. So I did it myself, after the techs left of course. Put it in the new computer, hooked it all up and,NOTHING HAPPENED. Frustrated, I called the staples store, he said they were interchangleable but I would have to have the software to load it. Well I didnt have software so I had to go buy a new ethernet card and software. So here I am. Good thing too cause I was going stir crazy stuck in the house all the time. Thats another story.
Sunday morning I sent G out to start the car but it wouldnt start. Assuming it was just a bad battery, cause it was the coldest night so far this year, David came and picked us up for church and I used Daniell's car the rest of the day. The next day I went and bought a battery, the test said the old battery was bad and being the original battery to the car I thought it best to buy a new one. NOTHING, that was not the problem. David said it was the relay switch,so we replaced that, NOT!!!! A friend of his said it was the starter, so I bought a new starter. IT WORKED!!! for two days!!!!! That was two weeks ago and my car still sits in the driveway. I need a horse and buggy.

Wow, I'll take my little ole water leak anyday. Did you get a new computer or just a new hook up? Can we email you now and get a response?

Hey, so nice to see you here again! I like the new look too! Sorry about your car. That really puts a crimp on things, being without wheels.
