I COULD'VE WRITTEN WHAT YOU JUST WROTE ABOUT THEM. EVERYTHING FROM THEIR SCARY LITTLE FACES TO THE WAY THEY MOVED, THEIR TAILS AND THEIR FLAPPING WINGS. OH, THE NIGHTMARES I HAD ABOUT THEM. I DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING SCARIER IN MY YOUTH. I'M 52 NOW, AND THEY ARE STILL THE MOST FRIGHTENING LITTLE CREATURES I'VE EVER SEEN!!!!! THOSE FLYING MONKEYS STILL SCARE THE LIVING HELL OUT OF ME.

I can't answer your first question, about the 200,000 files, but I suspect many of them shouldn't be there. I'm glad you've got Norton. Keep that antivirus utility turned on. Don't open anything you don't recognize. Twisty tells us to use a text editor because many commenters have had the sad experience of writing a brilliant (and often long, as we know) comment, only to have it disappear forever into the Patriarchal Twilight Zone after hitting that Blame button. If you use a text editor, you can save the comment as a file on your computer, so it is kept forever or until the giant magnetic space aliens arrive to destroy the earth by erasing all of our hard drives, whichever comes first. If you've got a Windows machine, which I suspect since you've got 200,000 files you don't recognize, then your text editor is WordPad. I think you can find it in the Start menu. If you don't, let me know and I'll find it for you. If you've got a Mac, your text editor is TextEdit. You'll find it in the Dock at the bottom of your screen. If you can't find it, let me know and I'll fly up there because I'd love to have an excuse to visit you. You can email me here: verahoriuchi@gmail.com If I can find out more about all those unknown files, maybe I can help figure out why your computer is so slow. Hi Pony!

I couldn't find a category, but "dominator" model seemed about right. I've got a couple computer questions. Is that ok? 18 months ago I got a new hard drive. It has about 80 GB of whatevers. At first I had no files for Norton to sift through, now I have nearly 200,000. Where did they come from? Why is my computer so slow, especially to start up? If you don't know the answer, what kind of dominator do I ask? My other question is: What is a text editor? Twisty suggests we the illiterate use one. Do you use one? Which one? Thank you.

I am glad to hear you are happy and healthy. In what would otherwise have been a quite November, we had an unprecedented snowing here in Victoria causing generally lots of chaos, but not much in our life. It lasted a week, a short enough time that the impact was not tragic. Thank you for sharing! I am glad to hear you are happy and healthy.

The former is quite funny, but probably only to geeks. :-) Did you really mean the fridge went AOL, or did you mean AWOL? The former is quite funny, but probably only to geeks. :-)

You have a way with words. When you describe something I can actually visualize it myself and all the feelings felt. I completely agree with you Vera, I could not imagine being through what you have. You are one who paved the way for women now so we do not have to experience what you had to trying to work and live in society. I look forward to you fulfilling some of your wish list, in particular you writing about your Mother. I really enjoy reading all your memories, it is very special that you are sharing them with the world. Being a talented writer also makes them that more pleasant to read.
