Upgraded Computer Tonight

Well, I took advantage of Junie being at her son's, shut the computer down and put a USB 2 card in tonight. All done,up and running again.

I guess now I'll enter a few sweeps yet tonight, my sleep pattern has been off for a couple of weeks now, hopefully it'll get back to normal soon.

Robyn's Online World Targeted By Spammer

I personally have not received one of the emails shown on this post on Robyn's Online World but I think it is totally outrageous. Had I received one, it would have gone to spam (unfortunately I would have thought to forward it to her for her to check out). I don't know why, but someone seems to have targeted her blog. Is it someone just after her? Is it someone who feels so desperate (or greedy) enough to win one of her giveaways that they are trying to draw traffic away? Who would be so childish?

Almost just as important, the email is ridiculous, who in their right mind would actually follow the instructions in it?

Junie Update

Sunday night Junie found she won a box of Cuties, that really lifted her spirits. Her second win ever, the first being a DVD.

Went to the doctor Monday, she's excited to now have a walking boot. She's been doing a bit of walking around the house, but to be on the safe side, only with the aid of a walker for a while. Today, she'll try going down the step down into the living room, she's looking forward to sitting in the recliner.

She was almost equally excited that she can now take a shower. You could almost hear the Oohs and Aahs coming from the bathroom. To make it easier and safer, we picked up a tub transfer bench from a local hospice owned thrift shop and put in a new shower head, one the can be used as a hand held.

An added plus for me, it doesn't look like it'll be long and I'll be able to use the VCR from her room to play with the VHS to DVD 3 Deluxe software I won.

Val's Views has a great giveaway featuring the Warm Mouse. According to the Warm Mouse website, the mouse uses infrared heat (it heats to 104 degrees), has an on/off switch on the cord for heat and can be used with any PC or Mac.

I Want To Win the The HP Mini Vivienne Tam Edition Valentine's Day Promotion

I would really love to win the promotion HP has going for the The HP Mini Vivienne Tam Edition. The Mini Vivienne Tam Edition is a stylish digital clutch offering easy access to keep in contact on the go. Who wouldn't want such a gem?

I'm not great with words or good at promoting myself, the why do you deserve this type of thing, all I can honestly say is that I would really like to own it. It's just a beautiful looking machine and owning one would make me feel like I'm more up to date. It would be an awesome moral builder and it would give me the ability to keep in touch on the go.
