I must admit that this morning I did indeed have thoughts of retreating into my shell, not only because I felt upset, after another sleepless night, but because it is so difficult to do much on the old PC I am reduced to using. My husband has been trying to fix our newer computer for over a month but it keeps on crashing just when he thinks that he's solved what's wrong with it. I like reading local newspapers on line as I often find interesting information in them which I like to pass on, but using the old PC to read them isn't very enjoyable at the moment. Josephine
