- I got the "you're over 50 lecture" when I went in for the flu shot earlier.

That old ? You look much much younger!


And just like I told them - I'm fine! All my numbers are normal, my cholesterol is not a problem. I did need a tetanus booster - now my left arm will ache for 2-3 days! [hope it won't affect my typing]

Will keep on doing what I'm doing -seems to be working!

Theory: When you cook you put on the table what you like.
When he cooks, you, being a tender Lady, smile sweetly, compliment him and ask for a second helping.

Corollary
When you go out you order what you like.
If he suggests something that you don't like, you look lovingly into his eyes and he forgets what he just suggested. Lost. Or something like that.

Thanks for the positive vibes, prayers, well-wishes, and assorted other kindnesses, folks. Yup, hubby is OK. He had a reaction to the anaesthetic which isn't particularly rare and should have been checked for before leaving hospital. Grrr! So he got almost all the way home with his Mum and then had to be rushed to hospital again... a different one Like I said, he's OK, but it caused a lot of excess pain and misery that was utterly unnecessary.

On the bright side, he says thanks too

I had the distribution archives for the programs, so fixing the problem was a matter of putting thi directory where they live in the Do Not Scan list and installing fresh copies.

I wouldn't touch Norton A/V with a stick. Too many cases of "Does not play well with others", and harder to remove once you've decided it's a problem rather than a cure than a fair bit of what it's supposed to protect against.

I am bemused about how two A/V products from the same vendor should be so different in quality.
