LOVE IN CYBER-SPACE

When my daughter told us she had met a ‘cute guy’ on the internet, I was probably less sceptic than many. I have at least three very close friends who met their significant others the same way, not counting my cuz Wicked Wendy, who may never have found her Rob without the ‘net’, and he’s the perfect...

A WEEK LATER...

My nice computer doc finally showed up yesterday morning (early!), waded through the mud outside, then spent 2 hours working on my machine and voilà! I nearly kissed him as I paid him – I was that happy. The borrowed laptop I’ve been using to feed my cyber-addiction is one we purchased for training.... Sign in to see full entry.

DECISIONS, DECISIONS...

Ahh...I’m a new woman! I do like my own hairdresser, but she is so far away from the city it was a hassle to keep my appointments. Line, my co-worker, had used the one downstairs from our office and, although the lady’s social graces leave a little to be desired, her work is fine. I decided to try... Sign in to see full entry.

“It was one of those days – one of those crazy, crazy days.” Remember that tune? It was playing in the back of my mind all day yesterday; with good reason. My first call came early in the morning. My youngest son, Jo, wanted to tell me there was a new baby on the way. Yippee!! That was the good... Sign in to see full entry.

GRANNY GA-GA? NOT ME!

I loved it! Babysitting the grandchildren is not a regular occurrence for me, so last night was a bit of a novelty. After an evening of dancing and laughter and cuddling, the kiddies were tucked safely into bed. Their parents, who arrived back earlier than expected, sat and chatted with me for an...

I HAVE BECOME A CYBER-JUNKIE!

I am the only person to use my computer at home, so whenever anything appears on my screen that was not put there by ME, it freaks me out. Who has been in my house touching my stuff??? I tend to forget that it is always connected to the Internet, and now and then those cyber-authorities out there... Sign in to see full entry.

THE VITAMIN INFLUENCE

It was a quiet weekend. On Saturday morning I started taking the vitamins that are so touted – I’m expecting to feel like a million bucks by the end of the month. It seems that the first few days of this therapy involves a lot of toilet time. Cleansing, they call it. Whatever it is, it’s working.... Sign in to see full entry.

MY TREES AND ME

The clock on my night table told me it was 4:30 A.M.. I lay in bed for a moment, gazing out through the wide, glass French doors, letting my mind slowly come back to earth. My bedroom is situated high up on the east side of the house, affording a splendid view of four tall, beautiful trees; their... Sign in to see full entry.

PENNY CANDY AND LIQUORICE CIGARS

My daughter called me today to tell me that, while in the city yesterday, she bought me some liquorice cigars – a WHOLE box of them!!! My mouth started watering immediately! They are hard to find now, the real ones, I mean. I’ve tasted some imitations in the past years, but the texture is not quite... Sign in to see full entry.
