I did not have problems with blogger because my laptop did not work. I thought it had crashed and bought a new laptop. That night my daughter discovered that only my connecting cable to the electricity was bad. I received my $35 cable on Monday and the laptop works! (I returned the new one, the box unopened.) During my downtime I used my husband’s computer and made some travel plans. I got really good tickets on Delta for New York the end of September, for a week. I hope your weather will be nice then. Here it has been warm but not humid, so it is pleasant.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28203207265144759.post-12579848496039799432011-08-17T12:39:56.662-07:002011-08-17T12:39:56.662-07:00Frances, it was so nice of you to visit me.

I don't know what browser you use, but I don't tend to have problems in Chrome - Firefox is usually OK as well - it might be worth trying another one?

I say I have no money; they simply do not believe me. Maybe I should write them a cheque made payable to CASH and ask for 50 per cent. <br /><br />I was brought up on the slogan 'neither a borrower not a lender be' which doesn't make much sense I know if you want to run a business or buy a house - but why governments can't adopt the principle of balanced budgets and 'sound' money, I don't know. It was the one thing Mrs Thatcher used to say which I agreed with her about. You cannot, should not, live on tick.
