Won't post for a while...

19 years ago

My subscription is up and I very much want to renew, BUT:

I log on from work and since I have only 4 months before taking my leave (1 month summer vacation, 2 months pre labor, 2 months post labor and then another 10 months to raise up my baby a little - the benefits of working for the state!) and quite a lot of work to finish before that, I thought I'd eliminate all possible distractions (on this respect I will also take home all personal PC files that I keep at work).

I will continue reading your posts though, and I'll renew when I go home on leave and get an internet connection.

So, goodbye for 4 months or so...

I'll have lots to tell you after having the baby, since our little apartment is a serious domino (or rubic cube?) case in order to move the office in the L-D/R to have the extra room for the new family member!

Maria, it is a distraction isn't it. I wish the best for you and the baby and will be feeling you lurk. When you come back, don't forget to change the information on your Member's Page.

Best Wishes

"F2 for setup and F12 for boot options." Are you saying you get this far and the computer REBOOTS by itself, if that is the case you start to consider a power issue here. How many files did the user want to save? Where are the 2 recovery disks that should have came with the pc, or does it have a recovery partition that you would have an option for after hitting F12 if you get that far. If you slave the drive run your options scan disk, check disk ect, the go to the manfactures site of the hard drive an run there tests on the drive. I wonder if you can get recovery disks from Dell for the 2400 series?

Oh, so sorry. Poor fingers! Poor YOU! Glad you could sleep. Ask your pharmacist for a Probiotic. Most will do. Better than yogurt, and yes, Kefir is better than yogurt, too. It's simple to just swallow the antibiotic, then the probiotic a bit later. This keeps me from 'the runs'.

What?? Baby??? Where have I been???

Wow. It sounds like you are organized and I'm thrilled for you.

I absolutely loved being pregnant and having a baby. I hope you are enjoying every minute of this event. And as soon as you can tell us all about it. I love those baby stories.

It seems my subscription "grace period" is not up yet, so I can post and thank you all for your wishes...

A couple weeks ago I had some blood so I had to stay in bed for a few days (5).

Mom happened to be here at that time so she came 3 mornings to keep me company and also cooked for us, went to the supermarket and did a bit of ironing.

Then, over the weekend, DH took over and cleaned the house on Saturday and on Sunday he cooked and washed all the dishes by hand (a full dishwasher and a full sink), because our dishwasher suddenly quit working... poor guy! He was very nice about it too.

I was giving detailed directions to both. That was a completely new experience for me and kind of hard. Thankfully all is well now and I just try not to tire myself and take great care not to lift and carry weight, bend over, stand or walk too much - until three months - which is not always easy, but I definately don't want to have to stay in bed again!

(On a side note, the repair people haven't come to pick up the dishwasher yet, a whole week later - I do most of the dishwashing: DH just uses too much water!)

Ok, bye again and I'll definately be back!

I've been around quite a few years and this forum is the best: great inspiration and encouragement, great ideas and advice and, I believe, real care and friendship. Many thanks!
