Harper's birthday - part 4

Sue, search Ad-Aware, the personal freeware version, it's free. If you use it every day or two for a while eventually you'll get to where it's a formality, there are no new bugs! (As long as you don't let the two-legged bugs borrow it without a lot of restrictions, lol.) Ad-aware is by lava-soft.

Interesting thing, Carrie, I already have Ad-Aware! I'm trying to have Norton contact me as to what I should do.

Hmmmm. I just down-loaded it for the first time on this computer, which has never known IE. 231 spyware cookies, but no real bad guys. Sue, you're turning all my deeply held beliefs upside down! Dear, dear, dear, what should Sue do? I've contacted Lava-soft, they're good, but not instant.

Hey everybody. I've been missing DG lately. My son has been doing so much better since I quit DG and really started helping him get his homework done and stay organized. I'll check in when I can!

Sherry, the Africam is great!!

Harper

Good for you, Harper and good for Sam, too.

Yup!!

Primroseue turned us onto the africacam. I just put in the link. So Primrosue deserves the credit.

Great to hear, Harper. But don't be a stranger - we miss you!

BTW, Harper, Happy Birthday! x, Carrie!

I'm still bummed I can't get the Africam to work. I am going to talk to my former tech manager from work tomorrow about it. He is awesome. I used my laptop for some work stuff before I left work for the Great And Joyous World of Retirement, and they had to load some pretty tight security onto my laptop. I suspect that there's a firewall lurking on it that needs to be dealt with.

I use gmail as my primary email and I like it.

I am not a comp wiz. Have you got your internet security cranked up? I cruise around on low. Restricted areas? Get your techie to fix you up.

Thanks Carrie!

I'll do my best to keep in touch Victor.

Happy Birthday Harper!

Speaking of Africam (2/10 post), I got to see a leopard on Friday - what a thrill! They are a rarity. And, if I had been up between 4 and 6 this morning, I would have seen a male lion - even more rare!

Happy day-before-we-have-to-go-back-to-school birthday, Harper! And I ain't "lion"!

Harper - how's the birthday celebration doing? Hope your bithday is still a happy one!! Colin went home after church today until noon tomorrow so i have time to be goofy!! His mother went to Oklahoma on Friday for a week and his father is working the 3-11 shift so Colin will be staying with me. I got time off today for good behavior - yea!!!! It's going to be a long week!! Eleanor

Good luck, Eleanor! Sounds like you will have your hands full! Enjoy that little guy of yours!

Happy Ongoing Birthday, Harper!!

Good luck, Eleanor!

Happy birthday, again, to our Harper.

Have fun, Eleanor. Pretty soon you can take him outside again!

How are you feeling today, Victor? Did your gargle work? So far it's holding for my DH.....

Same here. I felt the throat starting again earlier so I repeated it. So far, so good. How about you?

I'm not doing so hot! Fever on and off all day and chest congestion and cough that gives me a headache. It's been 10 days now.....Doctor tomorrow....ugh! Hope you can hold it off!!

Hope you feel better!

Are you getting sick also Victor?? I hope you guys don't send me any viruses!! If I get sick though it will be because of Colin - he's had a nasty cold but improving. Thanks for wishing me luck - this will be the longest stretch without him going home. His mother had a choice of making one "week-long" trip to Oklahoma or several "three - day" trips. She hates flying, even though she is in the air between Albany and Baltimore all of the time, and chose to go just the one time. I can't wait for him to get outside and play. We are looking at gym/swing sets for the yard. DH didn't want to put one on his lawn but I convinced him that Colin needs something to climb on to keep busy - maybe I can sneek into my garden to work if he is occupied!!!! Eleanor

Louise - I'm so sorry that you are still not feeling very well. Take care and get to the doctor! Eleanor

I've been fighting it off, Eleanor. Both my kids were recently sick.

Eleanor, I was thinking of you and Colin when I wrote today's article! x, Carrie

Should we start a virus & bacteria thread?

No computer viruses, please.

Having just recovered, I have GREAT sympathy for anyone currently being laid low by flu and colds. Hang in there. We all want you to feel better soon. :-)

Wishing great good health to us all! xx, Carrie

DH isn't feeling well and DS is running a fever but says it feels more like Influenza than a regular flu. He should know, he had it 4 yrs. ago so he has a doctors appt. this morning at 11. Not taking any chances this time, last time he missed 16 days of school and dropped 15 pounds!!

Ooh - hope he feels better. Flu can be really awful.

Me, too.

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone.

For all of you who aren't feeling well, you have my best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Harper

Thanks all, the news is in......they believe he does in fact have Influenza but was really happy because we caught it in the first 72 hours. His 10 pills cost us $107.00 Ouch!!!

Wow! Glad it was caught when it was. What is the name of the medicine?

That's great Celeste - and yeah, "Ouch!!"

Wow - no RX plan? Tamiflu?

Glad you caught it early but steep price, hope it works quickly.

It is Tamiflu Victor!
