Sweden goes insane

My Favorite Worshiper of Truth...regardless that he is an atheist. He's trying to warn us of what is coming. If we don't stand boldly with God, his prophecy will come true.

AWOL for the Last Couple of Weeks...

This is my "excuse for being AWOL for the last two weeks. I have been living in "interesting times", as the Chinese say.

First, the plumbing backed up, roots in the drains with accompanying exorbitant bill.

Next, lightening struck near the house, throwing all the breakers, overloaded the computer's adapter, discharging the computer's battery, frying the phone line and the computer's modem. I tried flipping the breakers. Nothing happened. Hence, called the electricians, who came and flipped them making them work and also leaving exorbitant bill. Why the circuits worked for them and not me... go figure.

Ordered new adaptor for computer. Wrong one came in. Called the manufacturer..."Why don't you try the old one again since it's been sitting for a week." Hey, it worked! But, no dial tone... modem fried. Modems in laptops can't be replaced because they are part of the mother board. (**&^#! Got new external modem, with its accompanying exorbitant bill. Worked in the shop. Got home and hitched 'er up. ERROR! Black screen of death. Called computer shop back. "We're sorry, but he's gone home for the weekend." (^%$#!

Took the computer and external modem back to the shop yesterday morning. Everything worked fine. I tell you that inanimate objects are out to get us!

Then after all that, a tree limb, weighing several tons, falls on my office/studio/carport, and I have that to repair and pay for.

The last 15 days have definitely been "interesting". If I disappear again, it's because I can't pay the phone bill. On top of that, I have over a thousand e-mails staring at me. As I told one of my friends, "This has been one of those time when I've thought of the verse in the Bible where it says, "In all things give thanks, for this is the will of Christ Jesus concerning you." Well, as I stood there looking at the destruction, I said, "God, I just want you to know that it's taking all the faith I've got to give thanks, so please show me something to be thankful about." I am so thankful that He has a sense of humor because lightening hasn't struck me....yet. LOL

"Interesting" sucks!

Non Illegitimati Carborundum!

I am such a Coward!

But that's just a holdover from being dyslexic. Because it takes me so much effort to learn new things, and I have such a terror of screwing up, I have been avoiding something that I have wanted desperately to do for over a year.

No more! Tonight I installed Adobe Creative Suite on my computer. This is a mega program. My laptop is fairly swift. My computer connection to the Internet is anything but. It took me only a half-hour to install the initial program. I started in the late afternoon. Then the installation notified me that updates were available. LOLROF! The updates took from five o'clock yesterday evening until three this morning. But the dirty deed is done.

"Now, I only have to learn how to use this thing," she said laughing maniacally in the wee hours before dawn.

I think that I'd better try to go to sleep. I'm usually getting up about now.

Happy something, and courage, you too can conquer something that you have been afraid to attempt. :-)
