By the way, the newborn appears to be doing fine. The biggest challenge has been keeping up with its toileting needs since those functions are not fully functional yet.
So here goes. Jess brought Jace over to the house this morning so she could go to work. After she parked and got out of the car she heard something making a little noise. She investigated and finally found a kitten in the drive way. The little guy appeared to have been relatively newborn. It still had the umbilical cord and still had some of the afterbirth on it. The guess is that the momma had it nearby and was moving it to a safer location and perhaps was scared away when Jess drove up.
Fortunately Jess had to work early this morning. If she had had to go in lkater this afternoon the poor little thing would have had a rough time in the afternoon heat around here.
So Julie is playing Momma Cat now. I bought some kitten formula and a kitten bottle for Julie to use. Julie said the kitten has eaten and is snoozing right now. I will get some pictures of it later and post for all to see.
Some of the recent downloads that I have been able to take advantage of now that all of my computer issues have been resolved are XTweak (Retail $26.95), Total Privacy 5 (Retail $29.95), and a squared Anti-Malware (Retail $39.95). A few others that I have picked up recently have been A One DVD Copy (Retail $39.95), A One DVD Ripper (Retail $39.98), Wondershare Flash Slideshow Builder (Retail $39.95), and iSpring Pro 3.5 (Retail $199).
This morning I also picked up StarBurn Network V.10 (Retail $495). So this morning I have been burning some CD's for the truck.
All of the above have been free, courtesy of Giveaway of the Day. A big thanks goes out to GOTD.
In addition I have been able once again to play around with Google Earth, WorldWide Telescope, and World Wind 1.4. These are all free downloads also. Yea!!!
There were several reasons for this happening.
First, I just got tired of my computer anti-virus just working half-way, and my mal-ware scanners just working half-way. So I decided I would devote my time to solving it. This meant running scans until they froze and determining what caused them to freeze or hang. Then I had to either isolate, solve, or remove the problem file, agent, Trojan. etc. as the case may have been. Long story short, this involved countless scans that ran into two days and various procedures to correct them but it was successful and all scans run beautifully and now they report a clean machine.
Second, school days are approaching. that meant we had to look for school supplies for our grandson Jace. That's not any fun when everyone else is doing the same thing and it's 105 degrees outside, the truck is hot and then you go into the stores and they're hot also. Add to that, we could not find all the supplies at one place. AAARGH!!
Third and final reason, I was just plain tired. Messing with the computer and hunting for school supplies will just do it to you!
As if that were not enough, About the time I finally finished fixing the computer Sunday night, a freak summer thunderstorm moved into the area. Along with it there was a lot of lightning and strong gusty winds. Apparently, the winds blew a limb or something across the lines and we lost our cable, phones, and Internet. I couldn't' log on to post so I went to bed.
Once again, thanks for hanging in and we're back on line for ya.
