When I talk about blogs, facebook (they are not on facebook really they arent) and youtube videos they look at me like I am from a different planet.. I have never mentioned that I watch live vimeo links from California.. They really would think I am from Mars..

But the power was out so he couldn't watch them. It was so sad to see.

I'm thrilled that I'm not the only person who feels the intense withdrawal when this happens. <br /><br />Just last night, my monitor decided to quit working properly, and all I could see were shades of green. I was back every five minutes or so, rebooted, tried everything I knew, including completely disconnecting the cables and checking for good connections. <br /><br />After several hours of discontent, much like Oral Roberts laying hands on my computer, the color in the monitor healed itself. So I was glad to see your post and felt much better about my self imposed panic attacks!Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-2601959558641663592013-09-21T22:27:13.027+01:002013-09-21T22:27:13.027+01:00I can imagine your distress.
