Swine Flu

I was somewhat amused by the news when it was announced that American pork was being rejected by other countries because of Swine Flu. I must assume their knowledge of medicine is greatly lacking. It reminds me of my father thinking that by drinking alcohol, he was medicating himself against getting a cold. The fact that it was a weekend, he sat around resting and was very relaxed would have done the same thing; but he insisted that the booze helped. He always got better, so how could we argue effectively? The mind is a powerful medication!

My second thought is that this is far more serious in Mexico--are they boycotting their pigs, too? I get the feeling we only get a fraction of the news. How about a nice pork loin for dinner on Sunday? I bet they will be on sale!

Frustrations

I am trying to be more computer savvy, but it seems the more I try the worse it gets. I am frustrated by the fact that after replacing a fan, the speakers suddently don't work. After trying to eliminate a greeting card that didn't work right, I get the greeting card screen for my home page! Sometimes I want to cry, scream and throw the thing out. I am thinking that a virus to the most annoying companies is how they all got started. Revenge!!! We think that they were started by a twisted person--I say it was just a frustrated person who knew how to get back at some annoying company. He just wasn't talented enough to make it work right. Oh, yeah, that would pretty much describe all the computer programs. They just don't usually work right. Then there is the hardware............................
