As with my own physical condition my computer has been suffering a similar fate. It too has been struck down with a destructive virus. (I doubt that it is the same one but you never know – it could be a cyborg disease!)
Have you ever wondered what goes on in the sick minds of people who spend their life designing intricate viruses for the sole purpose of ruining other peoples lives? They must be really ill. They sit there and get pleasurable feelings from the thought that they will have messed up someone else’s life. That is really sad. They really do need treatment.
My machine kept crashing, going slowly, coming up with pop-ups, shutting down. It was a nightmare. No amount of scanning, Kaspersky, or malware treatment would suffice. It required a stronger cyberbiotic.
Fortunately it is being lovingly cleansed. Dave is connecting it to cyberlife-support, checking its drives, scrubbing it clean and pandering its motherboard. It will then have convalescence while its programmes are caringly nursed back to full health, it’s memory purged and its chip primped.
So this means I am forced to work on another machine. Everything is different. It types different, looks different and I cannot find anything. My life is disrupted! I can’t cope!
This explains the fact that my posts are probably coming out different.
Hopefully ‘Ethel the Mighty’ (my trusty machine) will be back before long and life will return to normality!! (Whatever serves as normality these days!)

So sorry about Ethel’s illness. Please give her my good wishes. It is a sad world that people get off on ruining others’ lives, other than they had a sucky childhood and their personality developed under horrible conditions making them very angry people.
It is very sad. How can you get pleasure out of messing up other people’s life? That is seriously messed up!
Hopefully she’ll be back soon. This is really cramping my style!
Hope it is all sorted out for you soon.
Cheers Anna – it is so difficult. I had my life all sorted. It is amazing how it only takes a little thing to throw you out of kilter.
I think my laptop suffers from the same malady. Of course it could just be that it’s a 2006 and isn’t compatible with a lot of the software and programs these days. It’s had a pretty long life! Nine years. I wonder how old that is in computer years… o_O
That is 10,009 in computer years. You get it out of the shop and it’s obsolete. By the time you’ve got it home it no longer functions on any platform available! Keep it for two years and even viruses reject it. It’s built-in obsolescence. Everything has it. It’s built to be replaced not repaired.
Get better Ethel <3
My guess these people are lifeless
I think there are a lot of damaged, traumatised, selfish, greedy, messed up individuals!
Not heard about Ethel yet! But I’m definitely on the mend – from Smallpox to Bubonic Plague to mild cholera!
Unfortunately, the world is full with such kind of people
Yep – there are a lot of damaged, traumatised and unhappy people. We’d best get busy mending them! Love and peace – Opher
Maybe they are not sick people, just clever people wanting to sell antiviruses…
You’re probably right. But it doesn’t work. I can’t believe many people fall for that. Good to hear from you Virginie – hope you are well!
I have been there before… Absolute nightmare! Hope everything works out for you! ~Tamara
Cheers Tamara – As long as everything is there when I get Ethel back I shall be relieved! I’ve got so much stored on it – books, writings, poems, photos, music! Nightmare. But the main thing is that I was organised and knew where everything was. This is all over the place and doesn’t work the same!
Cheers – Opher
