This week in a nutshell-
On Sunday morning my computer was infected with the SMITFRAUD-C virus. I thought I had it undercontrol until Monday morning when I was welcomed with the blue screen of death. I taught a class Monday after work, was at a meeting until 7:00 at night on Tuesday, taught class Wednesday and Thursday until 8:00 and by Friday I was exhausted. I forgot to mention that I work from 8-4 everyday with elementary students! What a week.

I reset my MSN live messenger. Sorry I was not available most of the week. I did not do my system recovery until Thursday night.

I tutor online and we use Spark This is very similar to Messenger, so I can't wait to hear from my classmates!

I did not recieve the email list of contacts. Can someone email that to me?

I am still working on the pictures. I have to have them all downloaded from my safe file on line. -Which I have no idea how to do.

I hope everyone else has had a great week. I am hoping for a spring break with no snow.

Sarah,

I hope that computers are cooperating a bit better for you now. It sounds like a very annoying week. It is good you had back ups of everything to work from.

Are you on Skype? I think most folks from class flipped over to it. If so, let me know your user name.

I hope the "no snow" works out for you. Maybe if you get some you could send it here. We haven't had any this year.

Sarah,
I requested this list, and Dr. T recommended I ask classmates how they added/invited. I still dont' know how to do it either. But I was able to reply to you. Where do you have your settings/permissions set? I have only these authors, and only these readers. So far, I only have 2 email added.

It was painful to read of your challenges this week. How DID you manage?

Do change to Skype, as that is where Dr. T is.

Sarah-

First thing I need to ask....is your dog a Bouvier des Flandres? He or she is so beautiful. We just put down a Bernese Mountain Dog this summer. He made it all the way to 11 years old.

Last week was very annoying for me also. This week has started out worse. Besides our administrator being crazy, the kids are wound up really tight. We have Friday off and it's the start of spring break. My principal came in today so decorated for St. patrick's day it looked like she was on her way to a bar.

Hope your week picks up too.

Sarah,

Oh my gosh, my week is starting out like your week! I have had computer problems for the last two weeks. It started with the downloads for this class and I think the real problem is the download update for Internet Explorer.

We have been exchanging email addresson on Skype.

I hope your week goes perfectly!

I took the day off so I could celibrate the holiday in a proper Irish fashion. My kids had a great sub, and I got to sing all of me Irish ditties. Thought for the day: You don't sing because you're happy, you're happy because you sing.

Thanks all for the encouraging words. I am still downloading software programs. This takes a long time.

My dog is a mutt. She is a newfoundland, labradoodle mix. She is the best behaved dog I have ever had! I am used to stubborn huskies so when this one listens I am always surprised!

Sorry about the sykype mix up. I should have checked my blog more often. Everything was so crazy!
