Do we really need to be connected every minute?

My first reaction would say no, but let my system go down and I feel deprived, isolated and there is something missing in my day....Actually I get very few emails or comments on my blog so I really do not understand this sudden void in my life when my system is down.
When my husband goes out to the barn everyday and I do not hear from him until lunch or nap time, I am not at a loss, I am not lonely I know he is with me in spirit even if he does not remember my name...He always comes home for dinner and bed.   I also know he loves me, but my computer does not, I know it does not love me...it seems every day lately there is some sort of glitch going on it is a mystery to me how I loose stuff or can not log in or forget my password or my printer is not working; now that really annoys me.  It was down for a week I do not know why, but I did fix it, after a two and a half hour session with a Centurylink tech at three in the morning we completely disconnect my system and re-installed it...Yes I did that, did I learn anything, NO, well maybe a few things but I do not know how to put them to uses;  still I am happy to say my printer is working again, why it stopped I have no idea.  I have to say I have had several late night work sessions with Centurylink's techs and they are helpful and patient with old ladies who can not see where to reconnect the thingamajig. with questions like how do I tell which yellow wire goes where? and which one is which?I was actually on my belly trying to read something believe me it was not easy but I did it and my son-in-law would be proud he did not have to come over to get me out of my jam, but then again, he will miss my pie, I always bake him a pie for his being my knight in shining armour,  he really does love my pies.  Anyway everything is up and running for now I am a happy camper but I fear it is only temporary...
Yesterday I saw a very old lady, much older than I am trying to talk on her cell phone she was in the roundabout no less now that is scary, I am proud to say I will nor use my cell phone while behind the wheel it is dicey enough without any distractions...On that Happy note I say good night and be Happy.

Thank you for the prayers

My Granddaughter's exam went very well, it does not look like she has a tumor, but they are double checking with a special breast cancer Clinic .  She goes next week, the powers that be, with this first exam feel it is nothing but to be sure she will go to the clinic.  So Thank you so very much Delaine

BEING MAGNETIC

I MADE THE MISTAKE OF GOING TO HARBOR QUILTS TO REDEEM MY BIRTHDAY DISCOUNT, WE HAVE TO REDEEM THEM IN THE MONTH OF YOUR BIRTH. I THINK ANYWAY THE SHOP GIVES A DISCOUNT  FOR EVERY YEAR I WAS NOT GOING TO MISS THIS GOOD DEAL, AFTER ALL A DEAL IS A DEAL AND I LOVE A DEAL.  WELL YOU KNOW I HAVE A BIT OF FABRIC, BUT I FOUND SOME WILD FABRIC, I CAN NOT FIND ANY LABEL IN WHAT IS LEFT IF THERE WAS ONE I HAVE CUT IF OFF AND CHUCKED IT, A PICTURE OF A UNFINISHED QUILT WILL HAVE TO DO. I HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY MACHINES, SAME OLD STORY TENSION, TENSION SO MY PROGRESS HAS BEEN SLOW, HAVE TO KEEP CHANGING THREAD WHICH MAKES IT VERY SLOW I'M NOT HAPPY WITH MY NEW MACHINE, BUT LUCKY ME BOTH ARE ACTING UP THAT MEANS MY MAGNETIC PERSONALITY IS CAUSING TROUBLE MY COMPUTER IS ALSO IN AND OUT OF FRITZ. SO I KNOW IT IS A OPERATOR PROBLEM.
BEST THING FOR ME IS TO STOP AND GET SOME REST TO DISCHARGE MY MAGNETIC PERSONALITY.  I KNOW IT SOUNDS CRAZY, DID YOU NOT ALREADY KNOW I WAS DIFFERENT.
GREAT WAY TO START A NEW YEAR, LAST YEAR WAS GOOD AND I KNOW THIS NEW YEAR WILL BE ALSO,  PRAY FOR TOMORROW MY GRAND-DAUGHTER ANNA IS HAVING A BIOPSY SHE HAS A LUMP, COUPLE MONTHS AGO SHE HAD DRAINAGE FROM BOTH BREAST AND THE POWERS THAT BE DID NOT THINK IT WAS ANYTHING, WELL NOW IT IS.  THE WAITING IS AWFUL.  MY DAUGHTER DEBRA IS TAKING HER SO WE WAIT. ANNA IS ON THE LEFT. SO FRIENDS AND FMILY PLEASE GO TO PRAYER FOR OUR ANNA AND HER MOTHER DEBRA.
