Hello Jo
Hey I found you quicker this time did'nt I ?
Getting good at this game...
Oh you have to have a bit of a trail about now ...it does seem that the hospitals that have the most facilities are more inclined to be where the highest population is.... Thats one of the advantages of living in certain areas I guess..
Have to think of some good things as now I have just heard that 2 of the charity shops closeby have been broken into...
Its getting quite sad isnt it.? think I am due a trip to the static now ..thinkin of the lovely scenery ...... ahhh thats better ... at least I know we have it ... even if we cant get there at the mo....
We are getting closer... JO and Pete... to the lovely hazy days of summer... have your bulbs started showing yet? Well one thing if they hav'nt... they will last longer than ours

Byeeeeeee take care.... Viv http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/alabaster/AddThread?inreplyto=1694303

Hi Viv, your getting brilliant!I was so peased to find your reply!. I do keep you on the move dont I.(possible exciting news about that later!) thats terrible about the charity shops! its simply unbelevable what some people will do,at our local hosptital, just before chistmas, the charity coin box on the "friends of hospital" canteen counter was stolen!!! yes do hope you can soon get to static,....yes just a hint of bulbs now, but if this wind that's blowing even as I speak continues as strong,I dont think I will have a garden left,let alone bulbs!!! yes, exciting news!! I just might soon have a real pc. our niece is getting a new pc and is going to give us her old one!!!I'm thrilled and scarred!!!never used real pc,so things might look up, if I can ever learn to use it!!! will need lots of advice, so be warned,I will pester you for help and tips!! well byeee for now Viv take care and have a nice relaxing wk/end. jo

Hello Jo
Ahhhhh you got it that was quick ! Brilliant..... well I think it is :O) cos I have just had a real tech time ! in and outta files and folders trying to restore my settings !!!!! Wowee it is sure a complex piece of machinery we are all using
I had the lap top to sort too .....had that one on a download and this comp playing up...then the other went blank !! and this was in freeze mode.......need I go on ?
The camera ahhhhh well that was the cause of all this .... but eventually got the pics loaded in ......was in chaos I can tell you..
I hope all is going well for you ..... when you go to sleep thinking how did I do that and what was that they told me to do., dont worry its quite normal
When I learned the cut copy paste thing I was out in the garden transferring some plants and guess what......Cut the plant copy the plant and paste it !!!!! cut was the dig up copy was the carry and of course paste was the dig hole and plant it....
I thought wow this has all got in my head !!!!! scarey zone !!!
Take care...... Hi to Pete bet he is smiling at all this again

Hi Viv, glad you got the digi sorted I bet your going to have lots of fun with it!....well I am still struggling to learn the basic's of pc at mo' I have got a great book that is helping, but progress is slow I think its the old " its hard to teach a old dog new tricks" thing! also time,its daft but even though I dont go out to work now,there is always a fair bit to do, hospital with pete, other appointments,houshold tasks,Malachi and keeping pete out of mischief! I dont know how you fit in so much Viv! I am going to have to get conected to web on pc though but till then I will continue with web tv,....well Viv, carry on "happy snapping" with digi,have a nice weekend, ......Pete is just a little jealous, say's pc geting more of my time and attention than he is! bye Viv, jo and pete.

Hello Jo

Sure know what you mean about keeping busy .... been quite hectic here .... its the comps that take up so much time !
I know you will soon learn the comp you have sorted the web TV and that sounds a feat it itself.
I found the best button was the main power button on the modem ...as it ran scan disk and sorted out the mess I got into ....
Just take it one step at a time .... like everything...
Hope alls okay.... Ask Pete if he knows of a good parkin receipe please some one in USA wants the old fashioned one.. I found one with the oats.... Bet Pete's taste buds are at it now !!!
Take care Viv ....http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/alabaster/AddThread?inreplyto=1720384
