Well, dear, that's life and I just have to suck it up.

I just loved that page you sent about what children learn... children are the greatest gifts ever.

Since email might be slow, I uploaded the file to yousendit.com and will include the link here. It's good for 7 day and/or 100 downloads, so any of you can link to it and download. Chicky, please try this and let me know if it worked as gmail does not accept executable files at all.

It only takes about 20 seconds to download. Please let me know if this worked. Please email me for visual instructions or further help. I'm sure the newer version on the software site is just as good, but has too many bells and whistles for me.

I'm anxiously waiting and hoping that something will work right today!

Love,

Got it Chery, it downloaded in about 10 seconds, is this only a "trial?"

Yes dear. Since the 'gift picture' did not work, I uploaded the trial version and just need all of you to email me for further details once you have it installed. I PMd you just now to let you know that you already have the email, but if you lost it, I'll resend.

It is cool, has 'shadow' for underneath so you can see where to place the pieces, lets you create puzzles from 25 up to 3000 - and you don't have to clear the table to continue. Also, you can use (import) any picture you want to and play with it. Then, when done, there's a gallery where you can place it. Enough bragging, just try it out and see for yourself.

Did you hear about starby's dog nicki... she's really sick right now and poor starby is freaking out. So, please join me in sending her all very strong vibes and wishes for a swift recovery. I will be sitting on pins and needles until I hear from her..

Going to email you right now, my dear..

Ok, just downloaded it, the puzzle I mean. Took me 15 secs. Don't have much time to see it for the moment. Ok, will pm you soon.

[starbuck8]

This is weird... unless I'm so exhausted and burned out that I am imagining things. Momma C? Didn't you post a link to a thread where those *%*& young kids were being so rude?

I had your back anyway Momma! I could have kicked myself in the head though. I forgot to click on the reddie square, so ended up giving one of those idiots a greenie. :( I reported all of them anyway, so I'm sure it won't be long before they're gone! ;)

I'm very tired, so I think I might try and sleep. It seems Niki is feeling a bit better, so maybe I can get some sleep now. I wrote more about it in the castle.

Nitey night you

Nitey nite ya'll

Honey, you get some rest now. Maybe Nicki just swallowed something that was not good for her, or has a chest cold and the shots she got helped her right away. Just keep an eye on her for me and lots of hugs and strokes.

Will talk to you later after my companion leaves - she's here to help me do some paperwork, so I have to drop everything else for a while - I hate interruptions sometimes.

[starbuck8]

I guess I didn't mention on here what is wrong with Niki Momma C. She has a lung infection. I'm suppose to keep a close eye on her, and bring her in right away if she changes any or starts to get worse, but bring her in again in 5 days regardless. She's on antibiotics and muscle relaxants. It's hard for me to sleep, because I'm always waking up to make sure she is all right. Poor baby.

I finally did get her to eat a bit of something lastnite, and I gave her some water through a syringe. She finally went outside late lastnite, and at one point she started barking at something, (even though late night barking makes me a little nervous) so that made me happy, because all day she couldn't even stand up without coughing like crazy and throwing up. She's still like that, but I hope the antibiotics will do their job. It sure worries me though.

[Chery]

Starby, thanks for clearing this up for me, getting old...
You know that I think of you and Nicki constantly - even my horoscope said that my mind was mainly on animals today.. strange but true. If she can already stand on her feet a little and bark, my feeling is that she is recovering. It might take time for the antibiotics to really do their work, but they are doing something.. and I'm sure she will do fine. Her temperature should also go down within the next few days.

Got to go and do some work, but please keep us informed.

[HistorianChick]

Got your emails, Momma C. Thanks a bunch! Haven't had a chance to download the puzzle yet though- its been a crazy weekend.

My weekend of "rest and relaxation" quickly turned into just another whirlwind weekend - its becoming a habit!

Didn't get to make my pumpkin bars yet either... sad. I got everything to make them too! :)

Hope you're feeling well this Monday morning :)

[Chery]

Hi all.
With all the different emails and my Yahoo only allowing me to include pictures as attachments, I thought I'd add three new pictures of my family today.
They are of Alex and his parents getting married... nothing fancy, but they are happy!

Ask Me Help Desk - Chery's Album: Chery's 2008 Album

Chicky, the file to download will only be there 10 days from the day I uploaded it, so if you don't get it before it goes away, let me know and I will upload it again for 10 more days. Then email me for the other pertinent information if you don't have it yet.

Gosh, I wish I could sit in the kitchen with you and enjoy all that sweet smell of backing.. I miss my big kitchen and all the fun I had during the holidays with Jaime's help. It made the entire house smell good for days.

Anyhow, I just got asked to visit the castle, so I guess I'll be there for a while.

C.U. later...

[kitten420]

I just started talking to Chery and She has been a great person to me and has helped me out a lot. I have never felt as if she had judged me in any way. Chery has always given me great advice. So thank you very much Chery.

[starbuck8]

Yes Kitten, Momma C is our most special and loved person here. She helps us all out an awful lot, and teaches us things that we never would have thought of! She is considered our family, and well, you know that we love you so much Cher! You are giving so many people so much encouragement, even through your pain. I hope your legs aren't giving you too much trouble today. Feel better my Inner Circle girl. Here's your song for the day! :)

[Unknown008]

Uhhh... my mom just returned the connection I had at home and... the downloaded file you uploaded Momma C was on it. I didn't have the time to save it on a pen drive. And I don't have any connection at home to download it... sorry. Until my mum gets another internet connection, I don't think I'll be able to download it.

Ok, later I'll tell you when things get better.

You are perhaps wondering why she returned the connection? That's because the service that the company was giving was poor, and they charged us double fees!:eek:

Starby, how's Niki now? We all here are supporting you, OK? Don't worry too much, I'm sure Niki will heal.:)

[starbuck8]

I'm sorry you lost your internet connection for the time being Unky. Some of those internet companies are famous for charging more than you signed up for. That's too bad. Maybe your Mum will find a decent company.

I was so happy lastnite. Niki wanted to stay outside for a little longer, and when I let her in she was jumping all around like she normally does. She even chased her ball once without coughing and weezing. Unfortunately, it was time for her meds, and they make her really groggy and sleepy, so she looked at me with sad eyes, because I think she knows that when she takes them, playtime is over. Oh well, she needs to get better. I think she understands that mommie is just trying to help her.

I bet you had a hand in her starting to get better Momma C! Keep those good vibes coming! :D

Come this afternoon, I won't be online until at least Friday. :( My Mother is taking my computer back to the lake with her, for my Dad to have a look at it. My Mom's a big snoop, so I'm a little worried about her getting into my things on here, because it's none of her concern. But I guess if I want this thing fixed, since I can't afford right now to have someone come in, that is my only option. Oops, hope she doesn't get in here and read that. LOL! ;) It's going to seem strange, not to get up and check my mail for a few days, but I guess I'll survive... maybe... LOL!

So, I'll catch up with everyone when I get puter back. Later Gators!

[Stringer]

Relax and rest for a few days then Starby...

[starbuck8]

Not an option unfortunately Stringy, but thanks. My parents leave for Florida on Monday, so it's going to be a gong show until then!. starting this morning! Yippee! Should be just a blast without my pain meds too! Stupid robbers! ;)

[HistorianChick]

You driving down here with them?? Hmmm?? Coming to see me?? :D

[starbuck8]

Oh man, I wish Chicky! Well, I don't wish to be driving 3000 miles with them and a screaching parrot, no waaayyy... lol... but I wish I was coming down to visit you and have a break! I know Snickers would love a run on the beach! :D You and I could scout out the beach boys, and Niki could reel them in! LOL!

[HistorianChick]

Ohhh... yeah... ;)

I could see that... course, we'd get in a whole heap of trouble... you and me... beach... adorable dog... FL boys... :D

[starbuck8]

Trouble?. what is this trouble that you speak of?. not us... noooooooo... not us! :D
