LOL! Though the level of complexity of these beasts is really mind boggling, sometimes it's the most obvious, and easiest to overlook things that trip us up. Anyway, I hope you are enjoying your new computer, it's always a big deal to get one.

You had me laughing this morning as I read your entry!! I have done so many things like you described!! Although new computers can be time consuming it is much fun to have a faster machine! I'm checking your chart ... looks like about 8 lbs to go to get back down to pre-wedding numbers. Let's say you and I focus separately/together on getting back to our pre-vacation levels ... now that I have joined you in a spike!! I visited a church in Oregon that was founded in the late 1800's by Scots ... it was a trip reading the headstones in the graveyard. It is touted to be the oldest church with still an active congregation in the Western United States. My maiden name is Young ... there were some "Youngs" buried there who were original settlers. I didn't think Young was a Scottish name ... guess I was wrong!!

Young is definitely a Scottish name - first recorded in the 1300s. The majority of Youngs were centred around the borders and just above Edinbugh.

So I guess with Young on my dad's side and Cameron my mother's maiden name I might have some claim to Scottish blood??? Thanks for letting me know!!

I so admire you for setting up your own computer. I am so proud of you for taking that on. That is not something I would even consider doing, I am not at all technical. Isn't it interesting how the busier we are the less we feel like eating. Good job on both fronts. :-)

flaxseed: What a great commentary! Computers are great when they are working but need a geek or guru when something goes wrong. Most of us post 30s++++ lack the inborn computer genius of the younger generation. Just to make you feel better here is what I did today. I went out from work to my car to get items I had left behind. I took with me paperwork I planned to deliver on my way back into my office. I got the item I was looking for and walked back into my office without the paperwork. Next, back to the car and then I went into my office with it in my hand without delivering it. At least I got exercise! You are doing so well and are a constant inspiration with your outlook and humor! Take care! caroldiff
