Computers! I love them and I hate them. My Sony Vaio is dying, it spends most of its time now putting up the famous 'blue screen of death' and restarting. It does this over and over and over. Well, I do intervene at times. I've checked out all I can and have decided it is a hardware problem, maybe the disk although every chkdsk I run says no bad sectors. If you are reading this then I kept the Vaio up long enough to post, it's a crap shoot now.

My son Dupre is going to be 40 in a few weeks!! If you want to feel really old, having a kid turn 40 will do it. He's also having some relationship problems and I want to see him and have him float in the Caribbean and figure out for myself that he is all right. You know, sometimes you just have to reach out and give the kid a hug. So, the plan is for him to fly down for a few days to visit me, float in the water, get some sun (like there isn't any in LA) and bring me a new laptop!

The other thing I want to show you internet is the state of our puppy Cuba. About a day before Mimi fell and got her arm in a cast, Cuba jumped up on the bed and did something to her front leg. The right front leg, same one as Mimi.

We tried anti-inflammatories and we got an xray that didn't show anything broken (same as Mimi) but she limped heavily and it wasn't getting better. So, back to the vet she went only this time to the vet over here in Merida and she got a cast (same as Mimi). It's kind of funny, the two of them swinging their bum arms around.



She's awfully cute, laying in the sun on the back of the couch. She's been good about leaving the cast alone, we have one of those collars but haven't had to use it.



Things will get better for all of us, soon I hope.

Jonna,

Laptop problem may be bad memory.
I had same problem and it turned out to be bad ram.

I was also thinking it could be the ram. It could also be something electrical - all that salt air you know - or the motherboard. I'm going to hope it is the ram. I have the name of a tech and will call him tomorrow.

Aww, poor Cuba! Poor Mimi! Poor Jonna, with a 40 year old kid and a dying laptop. Just kidding about that last bit; you're only as old as you feel and based on your posts, you're probably pretty danged young.

Cuba is so pretty,every time I see her photo I think that I want a dobie. But no short hair dogs for us, they shed way too much. She sure is a cutie. Husband says that you drove past him and honked and waved today. It took him a moment to realize that the cute babes were waving at him!LOL!
regards,

Sorry to hear about Dupre's problems. Hope he can get a chance to spend quality time with you and work things out. Jonna, when are you and Mimi headed back to the States? Will you be coming through Cat City before heading to Gillette? We will not be going to Wyoming this summer (for a number of reasons) and we were hoping to catch you guys on your way up to Gillette.
