hellow everyone. shirley, i guess in certain areas, men are scarce and in other areas,women are. i hear alaska is 10 men for everyone woman....beth, is this right? that yummy cowboy is sounding real good. i love yummy! trish, it's always nice to hear from you and so glad you stay with us and are considering getting back into a swap. and yes, december is a christmas swap. i will be hosting that one. i give you a lot of credit taking care of your mom. i did my uncle until he passed away in april. life around you sort of goes on hold but i found it to be worth it. i wouldn't have traded my time with him for anything in the world. i'm just now cleaning up my garden(s). speaking of which.... i am SOOOOOO mulched out. my back is broke, but everything looks so clean and nice. i have 7 beds done - cleaned up, weeded, mulched. i even bagged up what needed to be because i can't get close to my compost pile. as a matter of fact, i think the weeds swallowed that. when you go into the yard, that's a whole other story - it's such a mess and my way back is a total disgrace. another month and i should have it done, especially since it gets darker earlier these days. i push every minute of daylight. my dogs are getting better adapted every day. they sure have come a long way, although i still can't get collars on them, nor can i take them for a walk and i really need to get them to a vet - they need to be fixed. i have a visiting vet coming after the dog man comes - i am not sure if he is a psychologist or behavorialist, but he's supposed to work wonders. gracie is actually claiming my bed as her own, and sometimes she comes upstairs. i think she goes into my room because her sister won't, so she has her own space, at least until i want my room. they will not go out to do their business without the other, even if one doesn't have to go, the other has to keep watch. they are such freaks, but i love them. tina, i think we all cheat and eat a bit unhealthy at times. one thing i like for dinner on occasion is breakfast. it tastes different when it's for dinner. i'm not big on sandwiches though, it really has to be something spectacular for me to eat a sandwich, well, other than a tomato sandwich when they are fresh from the garden, then i can eat one every day. fresh bread, slab on some mayo, salt and pepper and delishhhhhhhhhh. mary ellen, a little early for homecoming, isn't it? how is everything going these days? back to "regular"? skoal...lol when you travel further upstate here, trucks, gun racks, skoal, tooth or two, oooh and those chains that connect to your belt or belt loop and then to a wallet, baseball caps...you get the picture. we don't call them bubba's though, but it's kind of the same. okay julie, i just had to google...and found the love sponge! LMAO carol, good decision on not buying that house. stay where you are, add on, paint and tell the old man you want the entire lawn! ...

I downloaded SuperAntispyware onto another of my computers and at the end of the download it said "SuperAntiapyware had encountered a problem and had to close." I (probably not wisely) restarted the program and ran it. It found problems, quarantined and removed them, but when the computer restarted the black screen came up and said there are problems starting and do I want to go to normal startup or safe mode came up. I tried both but still had problems so I had to go to system restore to a previous date. Should I just not bother with SuperAntispyware or is there something I should do to get it to download properly. I did try to download it after I ran Malwarebytes, but it still encountered problems and had to close. Here are the results of the Malwarebytes scan.

I may have messaged you a few months ago when you first mentioned this brilliant idea - but I'll send another one just in case. I don't have a problem with things as they are but as others have mentioned 'conversations' may be on the way out. Thank you so much for doing this. Maire.
