Howdy out there. Well, it's been a rough two days again w/no computer. Friday am woke up and couldn't stay online to save my sole. Joey first he did a lot of chcking w/cox to see why i couldn't stay on and his computer was doing the same thing, cox was all ok...then he said it was my wireless card he install from the old puter-- said it was bad...spent 40 bucks getting a new one and installed last night only to keep having the same problem. So, he called cox again and spoke to Scott and the short of it is--the router is bad. Spent another 40bucks today and have a new router. So far, i've managed to stay online for about an hour - won my literati game after losing four -thanks to not being able to stay online. phewwwwww i'm done w/computers - can't they just invent something like a disk when you have a problem - and the disk runs and says --you've got a bad router, or you've got a virus...just like you've got mail. Then, those out there like me who are stupid about computers can fix it in a heart beat. I'm exhausted to say the least.

And, if that wasn't enough spending money -- poor Bruti --last night we all noticed how Bruti wasn't his usual self..running, jumping, playing tug of war --i took him to the emergency vet. Found out he had a reaction (sort of) to his vacination --he got his rabis shot on friday in his back leg only b/c he got two other shots. The vet said they put the shots in different places so they can keep track of then shots. Seems like the shot made his leg muscle swell - and the area must have been pretty painfull b/c he wouldn't do anything. He wouldn't even would lay right. And he cried a couple of times when one of us accidently touched that area. So the emergency vet gave him a shot of and antinflammatory medicine and gave us more stuff to take home and i will give it to him tonight and tomorrow night. The vet said if the swelling doesn't go away by tomorrow to bring him back to the vet. However, today we've all noticed he's almost back to his old self. That visit cost me over a hundred bucks..so, i'm done spending money.

Other that that--that's been my w/end. I"m tired b/c we didn't get home till 11pm .. however i'm very happy my puter is up and running.

back to playing..see ya..have a good week ...
