SOMETIME THINGS JUST HAPPEN...

On the way into work yesterday, I decided to call my Cuban friends to see if the ‘Christmas tree decorating’ evening was still happening, and to confirm my attendance. It was a shock to be told that their young nephew, 17 years old, died this week with a brain aneurysm. The boy’s grandmother is... Sign in to see full entry.

Love in Cyber-Space: Part two

“You heard what happened to the lady in Quebec, didn’t you?” I turned to look at my co-worker. It was lunch break, and I had mentioned my daughter’s plans to meet her internet contact at the airport that weekend. I should have known better, but I asked anyway. “No, I didn’t hear. What are you... Sign in to see full entry.

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.
