gldno1, Windows is the operating system. What brand of computer do you have? That will tell me where your system check should be located. You should have one already programed onto your setup. If it has been removed you may have to find a place to download it again. Also if your router keeps dropping the connection, Try this. Turn your router off, Turn your computer off, Then unplug your router from your computer, Then unplug both, Let sit for 10 minutes, Then replug your router back into the computer, Then replug your power to both, Then power on your router, Then your computer. That is what the internet service told me to do when mine kept dropping the connection. Good luck. Bonnie

lindiver, I had similar problems a few months ago. When I contacted GW for help, adding that my problems coincided with forum changes (needing to double click to go back, among other issues), they said they were unrelated and the problem was at my end. However, nothing we did to fix it helped (my husband is a software engineer, too). When GW finally fixed the formatting problems, my problems went away like magic. Sorry I can't help you but I wanted to let you know that I was similarly frustrated when I asked for assistance. Hang in there!

I visit HT often. It is mostly (NOT ALL) comprised of a certain political faction that has pretty much outshouts anyone with a differing opinion. I find them very amusing. Seems many (again not all) are ignorant keyboard warriors that have no real life experience or skills other than at the keyboard or watching talking heads on tv. Not too long ago I was recently called trash and a lowlife and "insulted" (LOL) by a poster for having a son who belongs to a motorcycle club. I found it it all very amusing. The more the poster attacked me the dumber and more ignorant he appeared.

Outside playing, my busyness seems to come and go. But there's nothing like a day spent with other women and my kids' peers to remind me how good I really have it. My kids are healthy even though they're a lot of work (and they aren't little!) my parents are mentally and mostly physically healthy and alive and nearby if frail and 90+, I have a pretty supportive DH, my living room does not have a foot (or 6!) of water in it, I can kind of choose my hours, I don't run my Roomba with a new puppy in the house (has everyone seen that story?) etc. robo, your grandmother is very perceptive! With the caregivers I can go back to being a daughter mostly. My next step is to hire a maintenance service to look after the house (things like checking the gutters and basement and tending to the issues that arrise), because I spent a week mentally berating a sibling for thinking that "that leak isn't so bad" while I sucked up gallons of water with my floor machine. I don't mind the cleaning as much as the berating: one is execise, the other is bad for my spirit. Yes, another option would be to move them out of the house, but who are we kidding? Today, of course, brings a new issue: the hospital wouldn't do a "full admit", but "admit for observation". Argh. Medicare and I have a love-hate relationship. I don't do that kind of bookkeeping well.
