I'm over fifty, oversensitive and overweight. But I have a side
that can be overconcerned or overbearing as well.
I tend to overanalyze things and overestimate people -- over and over again.
I'm usually always overdrawn, overcharged or overdue.
Overall, I feel overanxious and overburdened most of the time.
And, over and above everything else, I'm often overcome with feelings of sadness.
And then I overcompensate to overcome those feelings.
And when that doesn't work, sometimes I think about going overboard or overdosed
or over the side of a huge mountain. But over and over again
I have overcome and continue to keep trying.
It looks like by this coming Sunday evening the eBay store I'm opening with someone else should actually be ready to go "live". It's been a lot of work to do it right. We didn't want it to look like something that just got thrown out there really quick. And at the same time, I'm having trouble with an eBay seller who I made a purchase from almost three weeks ago who claims that she "ships every Monday and Friday". Plenty of them have gone by, but still no delivery. And worse yet, she acts like the rest of the world is stupid. Her claim, and one that she has used before according to her feedback, is that "Stamps.com shows that I sent the package".
Well, Stamps.com doesn't even give that type of info. All they do is show what night she actually purchased postage. Period. And when I plug in the confirmation number for my purchase in the regular USPS website tracking page it says exactly : The US Postal Service was electronically notified by the shipper or shipping partner on July 23, 2003 to expect your package for mailing. Status is updated every evening. Please check again later." It amazes me that she uses this as an excuse. But it's partly my fault because I only looked at the first page ofher feedback. There were already 8 negatives for the past two weeks. I should have looked and gone elsewhere. But I paid via PayPal so no argument there, I paid for postal insurance, so no argument there, and yet she says to me, "Keep me informed. If it's not there in the next few days I'll see what else I can do."
I'd like to give her a few suggestions!!

I Know It Sounds Like I'm Always Complaining
Yes, I know. But this time I'm not complaining -- I'm scared to death! It's my computer. It's doing weird things and getting totally out of control. It began two days ago. First, the brightness of the monitor seemed to be way off. Then the colors got all messed up. I mean, right now I'm doing a post on a GREEN Blogger screen. Help!! Help!! And one more really weird thing. The Norton Antivirus that came with my Dell computer, the one I didn't update when the month or two of free ran out, well, it seems to be talking to me. In all the strangest places. When I try to open a Word file it tells me there's a virus that needs to be removed (yes, even though I didn't update. Weird, isn't it??). So I click "Okay" and it gives me my file. But if I go back to open it again, or any other Word file, I get the same warning notice. When I tried to use the "Dell Help and Support" page, I got this quick error warning about something I couldn't even finish reading fast enough to get it all and then it kicked me off completely. And earlier today, as I was on the eBay website, I got a message saying something like "NT .... this computer will be shuting down in 30 seconds" or something like that. And it did. It shut right down. Help!!! And the more I think about it the worse it sounds. I even tried "System Restore" twice and it doesn't fix the problem. Does anyone know what's wrong with my computer?
