back, Mary Ann. Yes, you've been missed. I've been be MIA for a while also and am behind in nearly everything. I do stop by the library and check this site once in a while. I'm still having internet/cable/computer issues due to a lightning strike somewhere nearby--in the neighborhood. At least I have my home phone issues resolved. I didn't have service for nearly 10 days, as they could not figure out what the problem was. It was over a week before the specialist technician from AT&T came to my home to look things over.
I've been a victim of identity theft and don't trust public Wii Fii at all. So am not able to post to Paypal until I get things straightened out. I almost never carry cash anymore and don't know when was the last time I used my checkbook. In fact, I can't even find it. Poor me, I'll get things straight with everyone soon enough. Please accept my apologies. This is so embarrassing. There's so much to do and so little time to get it all done.
On top of it all, I had a very light heat stroke that kept me down for a few days. Nothing major as I recognized the symptoms early on; I felt lightheaded and was sweating bullets and it took a while to get me cooled down. I'm much better now and I stay indoors during the hottest part of the day nowadays. I do think that it might have fried my brain a little, as I just can't seem to be able to remember things like I'd like to. Anyway, stay safe during the summer heat everyone.
