Weird day

Is there a full moon out? It's not Friday the 13th yet.
I think we can save the earth by using less electricity if only it did not take 13 hours to shut down a computer, another 10 minutes to log back on, and more minutes of electricity wasted connecting to the internet.

For a strange reason, my computer froze logging off. I took my cats outside for an hour and 15 minutes. Still frozen. Had to go to work. 10 hours later, it is still frozen and refuses to go into dormancy. After another hour of pushing buttons to wake up my computer, I finally held the off/on button down long enough to shut off. It comes back on after I hit the on/off button. A message pops up stating my computer can not log off because I don't have an internet connection to log off properly. What does an internet connection have to do with shutting off a computer? Well, the start menu pops off and I log off again. Then log back on and try to get my email. I have to install my internet service again and now have to type in all passwords that my computer has saved. Funny, my modem says I have connection and I pay my phone bill for this internet service every month.

At least all my settings are still here. And saved email is here too. I hope tomorrow is better. Post later. Bye!
