That's how long it's been since I've been here. I miss the people, but I've enjoyed the extra time I've had offline. I tend to spend too much time here between writing a post, replaying to comments, reading posts and commenting on them, it can take a couple of hours and that's about all my free time most days. Today I'm off, so I have more free time, but there's still plenty of things I want to get done that I can't do while I'm playing on the internet. I'll spend some time here to see what everyone's been up to while I've been gone, but I can't stay too long. I'm not looking forward to one of my tasks today and it's going to be the one that will take the most time. My current computer, the one I'm using right now, has been having some issues that has made us decide to replace it. So now I have to back up all the files I want to keep and put on the new computer. I'm horrible about backing up my files, so it will take a while. Once my fitbit is done charging I will be able to start that process. The computer has 3 USB ports but only two of them work. I prefer to use an actual mouse so that uses on port and the fitbit is in the only other working port, the one that works the best. Then later I can start setting up the new computer. I look forward to that a little more than backing up all the files on this computer. New computers always seem to have a ton of updates, so it may be a while before I can actually use the new one. At least I have some time to kill so I can be on here for a while today.

I love spending time offline with the nice weather being around.

It is a lot harder to be on the computer when it's nice out than when the weather is bad.

I know what you mean about enjoying your time here. I miss it when i can't stay. I hope you enjoy your new computer. I love mine. My son helped me get all the important files on the new one. So glad my kids are smarter than I am about computers.

I'm liking the new computer, though it's a little smaller than the old one.

It's really nice to see you again - I thought you'd dropped off the face of the earth! Anyway, real life takes priority, so we'll just see you when you have some spare time. That computer business sounds like a nightmare to me, I'm such a technophobe. Good luck with it.

It seems like the only spare time I have this summer is on Fridays, so I will be lucky to be here once a week.

I was happy to hear from you. This time of year, we are all busy doing other things than sitting in front of a computer. Good luck with your computer.

The switch to the new computer was fairly easy, though a little time consuming. I still have some files to put on the new one, but nothing that is urgent to do.

Good to see you onsite again. I'm heading off to do something else soon. I really spend too long on here too.

Most days I don't seem to have time on here anymore. With my kids home from school for the summer, my afternoons seem a lot busier than when they are in school.
