Another quick one of explanation….

So, one of the reasons that I haven’t posted much or noted much, is that I’m having problems with my browser. I KNOW what the problem is, and I can fix it, it just takes time. When I was using my laptop almost all the time, because of where this desktop was located in the house, my college student was using my desktop…with my permission. What I did NOT give permission for, was for her to download the browser that SHE liked. I’ve been using IE for a long time. Now I know it has problems, but prior to her downloading Firefox, I wasn’t having any of them. But, since she downloaded Firefox and somehow downloaded it twice???? I’ve been having major problems with either one of them, and as I know from hearing from enough other people, they don’t like each other, and most of my problems, if not all, will be solved by simply uninstalling one of them. IE is familiar…but I also know it is going out and that some programs will not work with it. So, logically, I should uninstall that and just get about learning all the ins and outs of Firefox…but I don’t WANT to. Hence the problem. Which sort of leads me into my OTHER problem.

Pretty much for the first time in my life, I think I’m just talked out. I find myself not calling my son that lives here and not minding that he is not calling me that much. I also find myself hurriedly getting off the phone with my other son. I really don’t want to write much on here. I just plain don’t want to talk to anyone. I’ve been watching a lot of TV and reading a TREMENDOUS amount.

Now, those are usually signs that I’m depressed, and I would start worrying about myself, but I have evaluated how I’m doing, and you know, I think I’m doing just fine, I just don’t want to communicate. I feel the need to just draw back in and lose myself in a sort of fantasy world, dealing with reality only when I have to! I’ve been reading all my faves and even noting when I could….I had trouble noting a few of my favs for several days and I thought it was the browser issue, but now I think it might have simply been OD. I’m simply just not inclined to write much or talk much about what is going on…and mainly NOTHING is going on. I’m just taking life one day at a time and putting one foot in front of the other and moving on.

So, since I truly have evaluated and don’t feel like I’m depressed, I’m inclined to just "go with" this feeling for awhile and see where it takes me. So, please don’t abandon me, I will be back eventually and know that I’m still keeping up with you all and I appreciate your comments and notes, but for the moment, I’m just trying to get my act together!

RYN – I really wasn’t referring to you needing to update (no offense!). I was referring to Plushcreep! Do you read him? My friend Taire (Spirited One) and I are just too damn obsessed with his love life and we like to compare notes on it. It’s been a mystery for the last 10 days or so and he hasn’t updated to clue us in!

For you to be talked out and not feel like communicating, is big. You know yourself well though, and I’m glad you’ve taken a look at it and that you feel you’re doing well. That is wonderful to hear!

Try Google’s Chrome for your browser. I have found it to be much faster then IE7, and much like Firefox, but faster than FF too. Chrome is a free download, too.

I’ve been there and done that too. Take your time.

Take your time. Your readers will be here when you get back. Take Care of Yourself.

everyone needs a break now and then, I feel the same way right now too, I’m glad you are not depressed, hugs

I use Firefox most of the time but also IE. I haven’t had any problems with compatibility. Maybe she did something else? I find myself often not wanting to talk. I get where you are coming from.

After what you’ve been through in the last year you really need a rest. Keep doing what you are doing. I’m reading “The Memory Keeper’s Daughter”…I’m about halfway through and it’s a great read if you are looking for a good book.

We all need a break, been their & done it. ((((Hugs))))

I’m staying away from people too, but I think I am depressed. Sometimes it’s just not worth the hassle.

…I consider myself a loner and after I’ve been with people for awhile…I need my space too. I’m not worried about you. BTW…I’ve been using FireFox after a friend told me that I’d have less problems with it than IE and so far…it’s been true. I have both on my computer and…knock on wood…no issues.

I go through those “why am I bothering to write anything?” moods; it’s not depression, but rather, a phase I’m going through, one I think is natural. Sometimes being by oneself is what one needs for a little while; a vacation from people, and communicating, is, I figure, healthy, as long as it doesn’t become a chronic habit or something. It passes, so like you’ve said; just go with the flow. 🙂

Web browsers; I use Firefox because the latest version of IE wouldn’t install on my computer, and besides, I hear it’s got problems anyway. A friend of mine tried Goggle Chrome; she says its very intuitive and user-friendly, and loves it. I haven’t tried it yet, but when I get my new computer (Will be buying one in a few days, I think.), I’m going to install Google chrome and try it out. 🙂

I love Firefox, but it can be a resource hog. I won’t use Google Chrome because they store and log all your info and its not as private as Firefoz. Internet Explorer sucks and crashes too much. Opera is alright, and I use that at times too.

Found you here by mutual friend Leisah. Just wanting to tell you I admire your strength. Keep pushing on.

[Leisah] wrote to say that people like me (hi there!) would really love you so I’m here to introduce myself. I live fairly close to [Leisah] and have met her in person. She’s a dear. She says you’re a dear too. Do you mind if I follow along?

I am a friend of Lesiah’s. Just dropping by to say hello. Peace to you.

Hi Roz, I am a friend of Nancy’s in real life, and I think we had each other on fav list at one time, but I went thru a time of not writing much so who knows 🙂 ANywyas, I am adding you to my favs as Nancy said you are good people, so if you want to add me please feel free ::hugs::

Hi :+) Leisah shared that you could use a few kind words and so I am here to offer mine. I am so very sorry for the loss of your husband. Losing someone to suicide is wrought with emotion. I hope you have found peace and serenity. Starting over is not easy. My experience in no ways compares with yours, but I just wanted to share with you that I will have been divorced seven years in September. Insome ways, I still struggle. Being alone and middle aged isn’t always easy. Starting over is definitely not easy. But all in all, I am doing well. I hope my words of encouragement have helped in some small way. And, I hope each and every day gets a little bit easier for you.

I’m here via Leisah as well. So sorry to read of what you’ve experienced. I’ve been divorced, and have now made it through marital woes with my third husband, and JUST moved to Arizona…..Am now a REAL empty-nester, too, and it’s hard right now….also, looking for a job because I quit the job I transferred to down here, long story….just wanted to share a bit about myself and give you some encouragement. Life is so hard sometimes, isn’t it? Hugs,

I am glad you added me 🙂 thank you. I can’t see fav only entries if you have them. I think you are wise to go with the flow of how you feel. I got talked out too for awhile. Then I went thru a phase of posting alot, now I am posting less but I am going with it too! ::hugs::
