I, too, write down (journal) everything! (As for my family situation, the prosecutor LOVED that fact!)

Also, I am not totally alone for the holidays. I have my daughter and husband, and maybe my grown son will show. It is just that I feel so GUILTY for "ruining it for everyone." my husband grew up with this big 'ole Italian-style (even though German) get togethers. All the relatives, maybe 30 or so, loud and boisterous, laughing and arguing. My kids grew up with that and loved it. And now most of the 'family' is split up, and I feel personally responsible because of turning in the relative.

Some of the family thinks we should have dealt with the situation 'in house', but if we had done that, the perpetrator would still be hurting more people.

That is why I am seeing the counselor. I am not always running to the psychologist, this is the first time. I just need someone to talk to who can see this from a different perspective than 'the family.'

Next time I see 'the shrink', I am going to ask him, "Okay, on a scale of 1 to 10, with one being no whine at all, and 10 being the worst whine imaginable, where do you think I score?" Har, Har, Har! OKay, flamers, SOCK IT TO ME !!! ha ha ha

Hey, good luck, again, to you. We will all get through it, okay?

That would be a coincidence,

I thought at the time if I had it to do all over again, that would be the way I'd do it, as everything was absolutely beautiful! I thought how pretty it would make for a December wedding, or even a Valentine's Wedding!

It was probably a coincidence or had been there before.
Sound and pictures files don't carry viruses or adware. Documents and executables may, but likely OSi scanned them first.

Don't you run a virus scanner with email and Internet protection? Firewall? Spyware software with active protection?

There are viruses/hackers out there that come through windows media player or real player, so be sure you've got those upgraded with the latest security features. I think it had nothing to do with OSI but with something already on your computer to begin with that was triggered when you used your soundplayer software.

Try Grisoft's AVG, Sygate Personal Firewall and either Adaware or Spybot Search & Destroy for FREE.

What a coincidence
My husband is losing his job too. He builds seets for GM and now that they are shutting the doors, I need to get this transcription stuff on the road!!

What a coincidence!
I live on a river too! What a small world eh?

This is SUCH A COINCIDENCE!!!

I love parties and decorating too!!!! I want everything to be A+ Martha Stewart The Best. BUT.....

I have just one little difference.......

I have found that people just love my cooking and think my house is impeccable if it all starts off with some Jack Daniels or Jose Cuervo. As soon as they walk in the door, slam down a Jack or two.......and I turn into a really good cook and hostess.

What a coincidence!! sm
I also took particular notice of that line!! Ve-e-r-r-y interesing stuff!

What a coincidence, an article in last night's paper, sm
Headline:"Woman confronts burglar"

"Sometimes a burglar knocks on the door first, trying to make sure no one is home."

This woman didn't answer her door and then saw the man drive a truck to her back shed and started loading things into it. She asked him what he was doing and he told her he was getting some things for her husband. The guy got away with some of her husband's tools.

So, you are right to be suspicious. Also, there have been burglaries in my county and the surrounding counties where a woman has come to the door first, saying she had car trouble or something, would get a ride from the homeowner, and while he was gone, another person would rob the house. (I live in a rural area and people do things like that - give rides). Now, myself, I don't open the door to anyone I don't know or am not expecting.
