Just to let everyone know:
My computer is broken. I tried all the diagnostics under the F12 function. I am going to have my hard drive (hopefully) backed up on Friday, and then try the F10 suggestion Renee made. If that still doesn't work, then I am having it all wiped and restored to factory original. So when you don't see or hear from me this week, now you know why.
On a sub-note from the "life of irony"...
Aunt Fluffy is still in the hospital. (She has a blood infection, and a weak heart valve which they can't repair because she can't do the physical therapy necessary to recover; among other problems.) Anyway, she's in this great big huge hospital. My mom shows up, and there's this guy in Fluff's room watching TV with her. He works there, and his shift was over. There are like a thousand patients in this hospital, but this is the room and patient he is hanging out in/ with. (Fluff's last name can in no way be connected with mine without some serious research- so this is coincidence.)
The guy hanging out in the room... Zach. Jill's younger brother. (See information on 'ghosts of the past' or frienemies in my previous blogs.)
