After many days of looking after my extremely active grandson, I was beginning to feel the need of some grown-up conversation. The Wheels On The Bus can only be sung so many times before senility sets in.
Attending a weekend Internet Marketing workshop was just what my little deprived brain needed. After a few short hours, I was ready to sing again (maybe even create an extra stanza). Now I finally have some motivation back.
You may like Bingo or going to a movie, but give me an interesting course and I feel ten years younger (until I look in the mirror, that is).

My youngest son gave me a laptop for Mother’s Day, so I have spent the past two days re-installing programs. Every so often, I had to restore the former settings when a new program caused everything to freeze (except me, as I reached a boiling point.)
I also discovered that Norton Ant-Virus can only be removed by going to their website and downloading a removal tool. I guess using Add/Remove Programs on my computer would be too easy. Anyway, after using the tool about 4 times I have finally uninstalled it. Thankfully I am not paying a technician, since it is now dinnertime.
How did we ever spend our days before we had computers? I bet my mother even got fresh air and sunshine working in the garden. The closest I get to a garden these days is looking at the picture on my computer screen.

I am so discouraged with being online these days. One of my other blogs gets so many porn comments that I have had to stop allowing comments at all. Since the blog is about using a computer at home, there is no reason for them.
Too bad a few sick people have to spoil things for everyone.
