Andy The Fixer, 'Puters, Dead Sony, Amy Rose

                 After returning my desktop to factory settings, it has taken days

                 to put everything back in it. I had given up on my Pink Sony Laptop

                 as it gave up the ghost. I dreaded taking it back to Bestbuy, figuring

                 the runaround to keep from replacing it if needed. It seems that my

                 2yr. insurance only covers the hard drive, not being messed up by

                 software. The first Geek called to tell me that the OS system was 

                 corrupted. And he could fix it for $130. I told him that my son

                 probably can fix it. Andy thought maybe Norton messed it up. The

                 Geek that gave me the laptop back, said he could fix it with his

                 Sony recovery disks, for $130. I had more confidence in him than

                 the other. When he said all he needed was recovery disks to make

                 it like new from the factory, I told him that my son probably can.

                 He said I should order some from Sony for about $30. I asked him

                 what would he do. And he said he'd get my son, so I knew this young

                 man was honest. I asked his name and his name was Andrew, my son's 

                 name. Andy just used his Windows 7 CD that was an upgrade CD from

                 Vista. It brought my Sony back to life. As I gave up on the Sony, I 

                 bought an HP at Walmart. So for 3 days, Andy has been working on

                 all 3 'Puters. He put in AOL with McAfee that he says gives him no

                 problems. I tease Andy about having my own Geek and I told him if

                 we had a DR. and and Lawyer in the family, we'd be set. He said he's

                 the DR. in the family. LOL  When something is happening with his 

                 Grandchildren, their mother brings them to him for help. Amy is 

                 getting into everything, pulling up and trying to walk. It seems she

                 found a 'gift' from their kitten, not trained yet, I guess. Well, Amy

                 put it in her mouth, yuck. Here came Mom to Andy, so Andy said, I'll

                 turn her upside down and you reach in her mouth and pull it out. And

                 then get my mouthwash and dip a cloth in it and clean her mouth inside.

                 I wish I had a picture of this. I guess nobody thought of it...lol 

                 That's about all, I guess..still looking for rain though. Have a good

                 night or day. Blessings Always, GGB
