Alien graffiti is so hurtful  

 My computer got all borked up, yesterday.  I was happily watching something on Hulu and then... nothing.  The video vanished, the computer refused to cooperate when I tried mousing around a bit and finally, I just pulled the plug while loudly announcing to it, "Show me what you got, now, big boy!"   Photo by Elisa Ventur on Unsplash But not before going to my tablet and looking up all kinds of Internet "helpful" information that did nothing to change the situation I had going with my PC-turned-paperweight. So, I complied a list of equally ineffectual things to do when your computer is suddenly all borked up. Hold down the control button and also every third button on your keyboard for exactly 27.4 seconds. Enter the password for something you didn’t even know you ever had a password for. Forgot your password? Click to send a recovery link to the email you no longer have access to and/or also don’t know the password to. Restart the computer while holding your 8...

  I heard a comedian on YouTube a few days ago who made me laugh so hard, I couldn't breath.  To paraphrase, he said: Have you ever had a problem and then a bigger problem comes along and you totally forget about the first problem?  To give you an example, I was driving down the Florida Turnpike at about 90 MPH.  Back then I used to smoke.  Now, when you toss a cigarette out of a car window while going 90, it doesn't always go where you think it should.  Well, I flicked it and it blew back into the car.  You know that spot between your shirt collar and the back of your neck?  (Pause for laughter).    Then, I involuntarily jerked the wheel of the car and the car started spinning across four lanes of the Turnpike.  After the second 360 degree revolution, I realized I had a big problem and so did other drivers.  They started honking their horns as if to get my attention and to let me know that I was doing high-speed donuts....

Here's hoping I will be more regular with posting. For now, here is an up-dated list of my events in my life: I am still living in Norfolk, Virginia, although I will soon be moving back to the Newport News, Hampton, Yorktown area.  This should happen at the beginning of September. My brother moved in with me going on three years ago. My car is completely paid for, but my student loans go on forever. I have started an Avon business and an online craft business.  I have made more money selling items on eBay than I have made selling Avon... go figure. I have only one cat now, as my beautiful Evelyn had to be put down. The Culinary Institute of Virginia, where I work, is opening a new facility in Newport News and they need a financial aid adviser to work there... that is why the move to the Peninsula.
