And being told you had to get your husband's permission on top of it all...! Or possibly the no-email is the evil topper of it all, don't know. On a happy note, if it's not too Pollyannaish - at least your dogs had a good day! Ours is still recovering from last night's (*illegal*) fireworks, which had her a cowering, panting, <i>drooling</i> misery. Oh - that’s such a horrible, frustrating waste of time!

I didn't have computer problems, but I spent all day Tuesday finding that little things I needed to do were taking ten steps. It's so exhausting when you're ready to tackle something, and everything is going wrong. I'm sending out good vibes to you and your computer. Ohmmmm. Ohmmmm.

It is beyond frustrating to try to communicate a technical problem over the telephone. Hang technology anyway! Just imagine being my 80-year-old grandmother trying bravely to negotiate these treacherous new waters of the internet and email. Imagine her being on the phone with a heavily accented tech support person who keeps spouting words like "drop and drag," "go to the pulldown menu," "type in your key code"--Greek. It's all Greek to her. I hope today's better and that you can get email soon. I'm lost without it myself. And, if I may say so, I sent you some adorable pics of my girls in costume. They'll be waiting when you finally get the issue resolved. Now go eat candy! So I’m a bit late on this post, but I totally sympathize.

Atleast,something is being done. The last time we had computer probelms,it took the Geek Squad and one of our very helpful neighbors(who knows quite abit about this stuff)to help us straighten things out. Good luck with the new router,I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed for you:) I’ve been thru this type of computer madness,too,Robin-I feel your pain! Atleast,something is being done.

This is why I blog--who else can understand and sympathize and say so many kind things but all of you? THANK YOU!!! Computer router still not working, which means I can look at the website now, but still not get my e-mail. More complicated than my new friends in India could handle. They finally gave up after 3 HOURS OF TECH SUPPORT tonight, and are sending me a new router. In the meantime, I don't think I can communicate. Fun! But back to my deep love of you guys! LOVE!!!!!!

Hang in there; it has to get better. Go take a bath and read a good book and don't think about the computer. I’m so sorry for the frustrating day, Robin. Hang in there; it has to get better.

Computer problems make me feel so feeble. I swear I'm not a total idiot, but talking to tech support always makes me feel like one. Do you get trick-or-treaters on your street? They didn't come up to my 2nd floor apartment, but watching the steady stream of adorably-dressed children has cheered me up no end tonight. Hope you saw a few fairies and pirates too.
