I'm broke

First, my computer. The sisters are saying that you get a virus on your computer if you click on or deleted the links on some of our comments so they have all turned on word verification on their comments. I deleted the bad link in my comments. I scanned my drive for viruses and did not find any, but I have not updated my virus scanner since Sept 07 because I did not renew it when the sub was up. I think I am alright, but not sure. We will see, I guess.

Second, Patsy got me started on our local library's website. I got a password from the library, logged in, used it for and hour or so just trying it out. But, now, it does not work. When I go to the library website, I get a page of html code instead of the website. I guess I need to ask sister what her library page shows. Maybe this is my virus.

Third, my glasses are broken. This is the most serious broke of all. I am using the glasses I had before the latest pair, but they are broken also, which is why I got new glasses the last time. This time the frame broke around the left lense. It is not repairable, so I will have to get new glasses. The good thing is, I can not see out of my left eye even with glasses so I could still use these glasses. They would just look very odd, with no left lense and the frame greatly broken. The old pair has the nose piece broken, the little piece that rest on the noes on the left side is completely gone. I guess I am hard on the left side of my glasses. Maybe because I can not see out of that side. The good thing is, I can not tell any difference in how I see with the old glasses. I will go this week and get new glasses.

I may have to call Patsy and have her come over and work on my computer, after her nurse leaves today.

we have switched to a new free download called AIG ...it works better than the Norton we had paid so much for. I also broke my glasses and was wearing a pair from two times ago...I finally got my new ones late Tuesday night. It is great to be able to see again. Good Luck!

I'm sorry... the program we downloaded is called AVG instead of AIG. Hope this helps

Well, you know me...I may have clicked on the link before deleting but I don't think I did. I had a worm virus...but maybe got it some other way. We will hope your computer is ok.

I took the word verification off of my comments. I know what a pain it can sometimes be for visitors. I think it mostly stopped spam from getting put on your comment section. We went from Norton to McAfee Security. We also have something called a firewall that Abe put on all of our computers. I have no idea what that is.

Hope your string of bad luck soon turns to some good luck for you.
