"A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE"

Hello family and friends. Yes, it’s been another long spell. I’ve been missing this activity, but you cannot imagine what’s been happening in my world.

To begin, my life was in shambles for a couple of months. In fact, I had no life after I crashed both my computers and they couldn’t be repaired. It was a sad, scary time. There was much wailing, gnashing of teeth, and arms flung to the heavens as I wondered aloud, or to anyone who would listen, why me? My eyes are tearing up just thinking about it. No emails, no Skype, no aimless browsing the internet. Oh, it was just a ter-r-r-r-ible experience.

   But, thanks to a good friend, my sanity has been restored. She loaned me a pc until I get my new one. Granted, she was probably sick of my whining, but whatever works. Anyway, those dark days have passed and, once again, I bask in joyous, sunny days of untold pleasure at a computer.

  Hopefully, all of you enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving. I had a birthday this month, and as I reached the ripe old age of 49 (no laughing please), I continue to realize how much there is to be thankful for -- getting up each day, children the same age as I, having a few strands of white hair on my head, and the ability to remember what I had for breakfast.

   Before I say TTFN, I have some questions for pondering. If Americans are so economically impoverished under President Obama, who were all of those people pitching tents in front of stores to get a head start on black Friday? And, who were all those people who stood in line for days to buy the latest Apple I-anything? Finally, who were all of those people who regularly paid five dollars or more for a gallon of gas in California, instead of utilizing public transportation, periodically?
