Jeanette ~ I am here, well for part of the day. I have been having similar issues with my desktop computer, though the difference is a land line. Right now I am using the laptop with the same connection, so it is possible that the problem lies in the desktop connection. Not sure if it is hardware or software difficulty. I uninstalled and then reinstalled the modem, but no change.

I really do not want to be on the phone all day with HP, before they send me a box to ship it to be repaired. Does anyone here have an HP? I would not buy another one, but for right now, I won't be buying any new ones for sure. I just would not recommend that anyone buy one, that's all. when something goes wrong with it, they have you taking the whole thing apart yourself and then telling them it still doesn't work after all the hassle. So now I will get my other things done first so I will be prepared for them and call early in the day.

Dave ~ Is your connection wireless or high-speed cable? Anyone else have the same problem? I have had problems with both the desktop and the laptop and had to ship them both back for repairs. Oh me....

OK, so I won't be on here for much of the day as I need to get a lot of things done as well as tend to the computer mess, but will do that one last as there is a potential of wasting a whole day on it before they send me a box to ship it to their repair center.

So, hello everyone and I hope that you are having a nice day. It is rainy here, just light rain but continuing probably into the night and mild temps. The snow level is quite high. I am surely not ready for that. I inspected the front border and a few things were stressed beyond belief. I dug them out - lirope and boxwood and heeled them into the basil bed.

I dug out 4 plants and put the basil into pots on the back porch as we have not yet had a hard freeze. I will have to cut the others again for (probably) the last batch of pesto, which Steve loves to make. We have got so much basil from that bed of 30 plants. Does anyone want a basil plant before they are dug up and turned into compost? Maybe Sharon or Dawn? Or those of you who have greenhouses or a nice sunny window inside. I hate to see them go to waste. I think they would be permanent shrubs in the right location, they just would be ruined by a hard frost.

Well....happy gardening everyone!
