aaaaRRRRRRRRGGH!

Dear Friends in Christ -

I've been betrayed. Again.

Betrayal is, unfortunately, a common occurance in life. Relying on someone, and then finding that they've cheated you. I don't know about you, but I have sort of a "fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, and I'm not sticking around for long" policy. And that rule of thumb works pretty well for a me in relationships.

Human relationships, at least.

This week my betrayer was electronic: my computer. I would like to throw the stupid thing over altogether - over the cliff, that is! But I NEEEEEED it. So I've allowed a very nice fellow from "customer support" to talk me back from the edge. Again. For now.

Nancy's computer crashed and died this week. Mine has a "little glitch" which is supposed to have been mended. And for an untold number of weeks, a good chunk of my email (25%?!) has been somewhat randomly disappearing as "spam." If you've sent me an email to which I haven't responded, you may be a victim of my computer's betrayal too. Sorry! If you haven't heard back from me about whatever you were emailing about, please write again . . . hopefully this time I'll get the message. Sigh.

Hope - nope; I don't think I can call it that . . . DESPERATE DEPENDENCY springs eternal . . . so I'm sending this message electronically!!! Oh, the irony!

Still not done grinding my teeth, but trying to move on . . .
Blessings,
Janet+
