Josh, I thank you so much for your thoughts and such nice ones too. I just might adopt all of you on this thread because I enjoy so much being around family and this is just what it seems to be. One thing, I hope to keep my computer from getting in that shape again. Trying to harness my curiosity and stop from getting myself into trouble. I still follow the old saying, "You are never too old to learn" and I think it keeps the mind sharper during the golden years, but guess there is a limit to that also. Just might realize my curiosity costs more in terms of maintenance than I really care to put up with. I guess I am like a kid that likes to take things apart to see how they work and sometimes can't put them back together again. At first I thought I was in bigger trouble than later known as seems I got into the Bio part and played around with it. Now I know that is definitely a "No, NO", but did not lose a thing. I believe my computer guru is a genius. And he puts up with things I do and never reprimands me for doing them. He knows what an information hound I am and the only thing he told me was "We might be in big trouble this time and I may have to rebuild your computer". That was something I have never heard before and I surely took notice of it quickly. About caused me to faint.....LOL I didn't call him for three weeks thinking I just might stumble onto what was causing the problem and be able to fix it and I was able to get into the internet and find all my bookmarks and read all I wanted to, until one night I forgot and turned it off as I usually do and the next morning was a disaster waiting to happen. Took me at least an hour to figure how to get back in and I learned this Dell computer must actually be indestructible with all I did to it. Made a believer out of me....for sure. Now that he is at my fingertips with any problem, don't think I will get that adventurous again. Believe I learned my lesson that I probably won't be a computer whiz, ever. Time for me to move on to other things that are not as much fun but things that are necessary to get completed so I can play later this evening after dinner.
