Since I haven't been on for a couple of weeks, I hope everybody has all of the world's problems resolved.

I don't remember the last time I was on, but that morning when I turned the computer on, it didn't come on. I started checking plugs, outlets and connections and they were all good. Since I have experienced this problem before, (several times over the years), I figured it had to be the power supply. I was right. When I got this computer about 5 years ago, I got a larger than normal wattage power supply. I run quite a few things at once and I wanted something that would handle it. At the time, I also got a mother board that would handle extra Memory. That was fine then, but now they are doing things so much different, I am at a loss. The hardware as well as software has become so advanced, my memory hasn't kept up with it. I went to Best Buy to try and get a new power supply and they me I would probably have to get a new mother board and a couple other things. So I declined to buy one and made contact with the company I had originally bought my parts. They said they still carry the one I needed, but they were out of stock and wasn't sure when they would be in. They come from China. The guy I talked to said they might have one, out of box, that was returned and would call me back. So after waiting 3 days, I called them back. They had one, but he had lost the paper he had wrote my phone number on. So after much delay, I got the power supply yesterday and finally got it connected today. The price was cheaper than a new one in the box, but only got 60 day guarantee on it.

So when I turned it on today... my email client didn't work, (Incredimail), After messing with it for almost 2 hours, I got a pop-up notice from the company saying they had closed their doors to business. I was left not being able to retrieve any of my folders. I can't say on here what I was feeling or saying. SO, I went into the email server and I can retrieve email from that. There were at least 400 or more emails waiting to read or deleted.

On the brighter side, if there is one. I did get into see the ENT Dr. during this time. He is an older man, mid to late 80s and getting ready to close his practice. He didn't have a scan, but he did have a plain old x-ray machine. He shot from both sides and frontal shot. He said, after a week or 2 it wouldn't have done any good to do a scan unless there was some really wrong. He did tell me, I did a really good job of setting my nose. I guess there is cartilage that holds the nose to the face bone and I had broke it loose on the left side. When I jerked it back into place it went back almost perfect. He said the head aches that I still get when I get stressed out and I have the stuffy nose feeling, is because there is scar tissue built up where it was ripped loose. That there is still irritation around the scar tissue that is causing all of it. SO he had me get some nose spray to use once a day for 2 month that has cortisone in it. He said that should help, but if the scar tissue got to thick they would have to go in and remove some of it. But I believe the nose spray is working …. so all is well there.

Now if I can just stay away from Covid-19, I will be happy. I have tried to stay away from people as much as possible. One of my ex-Deputy Sheriff friends was the first in my town to die from the virus yesterday.

A lot more has happened in the last couple of weeks... but I am at a brain burnout.

Take care and be safe....
