Ughhhh...People Who Create Viruses Ought to be SHOT!

I've been dealing with trying to get "Antivirus XP 2008" off of this computer. It is NOT an antivirus protection program at all...but is in truth a "Trojan Horse" virus. Yuck!!! I have most of it gone, so that I can at least blog. I now have a theory too...I'm pretty sure that my other computer was infected with it, causing it to slow way down and then eventually crash. I'm not positive about that...but it's possible.

Protect yourselves, people! I didn't have any kind of virus protection on this one because it is an old borrowed computer, but I need to get something on it...even if it is a free one. Just to make sure I don't pass anything along, I'm not going to be emailing anyone from this computer. I don't know if I can spread it that way or not...but I'm not going to take the chance. Hopefully, I can figure out how to get the rest of it gone in the next few days.

Week 17 Weigh-In ~ 30 lbs gone!

Actually, 30.6 in almost 4 months. That's almost as much as my grandson, CJ weighs...and he gets awfully heavy after just a few minutes. I feel much better with even that amount off. My knees don't bother me at all, and I think I just have more energy. I would really like to have 50 lbs off by our anniversary on September 30, but maybe 40 is a more realistic goal. If I actually do get 50 lbs off, I hereby promise to post the (fully clothed) picture of my butt that CJ snapped with my camera last year on that date, along side a current one of my (somewhat smaller behind). The photo was taken with my old fashioned film type camera at a hotel we were at in Sioux Falls last year. The film was still in the camera until just recently when I got them developed and discovered the not-so-flattering picture of my patoot. CJ was not even quite 3 years old then, but he was already a budding photographer.

I'm still computer-less. Right now, I'm at my friend Lisa's house blogging right alongside of her. Actually, she's busy ignoring her family and entering giveaways at the moment. Their livingroom is a bit like a computer lab with 3 machines going all at once. Thanks for sharing your computer, Lisa!

My Computer is Toast!

Or so it seems for the moment anyway. I tried to restart it yesterday, because it was acting stupid...that was a mistake. I have not been able to restart it since. It just keeps flashing from one screen to another. I even tried to start it up in "safe" mode...that was a no go too.

Right now I'm posting this at the public library while I wait for an oil change to be done on my vehicle. Hopefully, we'll be able to get something figured out...or I won't be blogging for awhile.

We do have another one, that MIGHT work...we have to get something figured out. We can't afford a new computer, and I don't know if I can live without one without going stir crazy.

I'll get back online again somehow tomorrow, (even if it means another trip to the library) and let y'all know if we've made any progress.
