That is wonderful news, Lois, Been there and done that with two of our "kids". It is very scary but if she will listen to the doctor she should be fine especially now that she has stopped leaking.

Marilyn, the same thing happened in Virginia. Ours ran around $100. a month with a heat pump. The first of the year it almost doubled. But we have five extra people living with us at the moment, one teenager that thinks because she got out of bed she needs a shower after having one before she went to bed. Lights are on 24--7 that switch just works one way ON. So can't complain too much unless it stays that way!!! Dot Jo Let us know about the test. I have been having blacking out spells, went to dr. Sat. all blood work came back O.K. found I had a "beatiful' heart after the EKG!!!LOL or that's what he said. So am assuming it looked fine.

O.K. Bobbie got it stright tonight now I can't promise I will remember by tomorrow. It came back to me after you refreshed me a little bit. Sure glad your mom is doing well. Does she have to wear the oxygen thingie? I see so many of those any more. We went to dinner with a church group last month and one of the ladies had one on, she got up to leave and it had came out of her nose and some one called her attention to it, She just laughed and said I'm always losing my tail, as she had all those tubes trailing along behind her.

I'm not sure how Vista works, but in XP, open up "my computer" and right click on the drive, then choose "eject". Next, there most likely is an icon in the tray at the bottom (bottom right, where the icons are) that is to "safely remove" external drives - (mine is a little gray and green thing with an arrow in it). Choose it, then select the drive you want to remove - highlight it and click "stop". It will then come up with a message it's safe to remove and the drive will no longer be listed as an option to stop/remove. Now, it's safe to remove it. This also applies to memory cards that you've got connected to copy and/or move your pictures to your PC. They'll corrupt, too.
