Like I had time for THIS!!
I don't know what possessed me this morning, but I tried to run "Liveupdate" on my newly renewed subscription Norton Antivirus. I guess it was because my puter has been slow & acting contrary & the subscription ran out 8/23 and I wondered if I had a virus or worm or something. Made perfect sense at the time. What transpired has taken all day and until this very moment to resolve!
I should have trusted my instincts when the solution was to delete files. Turned out to be the wrong answer. It was exactly what the instructions told me to do. I had printed them out, read several times and followed line by line. Doesn't matter. Made a mess of my computer for the whole day. I was very close to tears on a number of occasions. I did break away at 2:00 to go eat with a friend, but then came back and started trying again to figure this out. Couldn't even use the website to look anything up because it pooched my Java Script somehow. I had to talk to a live person and we ALL know what that can be like, but I couldn't even find a number. Moe had to rescue me there. Habib was very nice, but also very hard to understand. He gave up and gave me the 2nd number, then I was given the 3rd, then the 4th, then the 5th. I was, of course, on hold on each of them for hmmm 20 minutes or so. But at least it was their dime. Anyway, the final tech, a woman, refunded my $$ and had me buy the latest version - the download worked and fixed the problems. At least all that I had been able to detect by then. Oh happy day.
Maybe I needed to sit on my rather plump rear all day instead of pack. Maybe it was providence - who's name is God. He does have a keen sense of humor.
Another God thing that happened today, and I have yet to figure this one out, was a fax I got from an old friend sending me a story he wrote about a time when I did something nice for him. The thing that has me puzzled is how he knew my newly changed fax number? Larry says he hasn't talked to him and I don't know anyone else who knows him who knows the new number. Weird, huh. Guess I will call him and just ask him.
It was a story about a gunfight in Pecos 14 years ago. That was an amazing time and truly God did miraculously save his life. Maybe he will publish the story sometime. Don't know too many people who are shot at point blank range 3x by an AR15 who live to tell about it.
So that was my day. Tater called tonight and he was on his way back home. We should begin to see his new blog soon. Can't wait.
Stick a fork in me, I'm done.
