I guess I'm not the most technically savvy in the world. At the computer lab, the new computers no longer have zip drives. The guy at the desk said, "yeah, with USB keys so inexpensive now, there's no need for them." That was the first I'd ever heard of USB keys. Hello. Guess I'll have to get one. And I'd better not leave it in the lab!!
Met the bro, SIL and niece at the zoo and had a grand ol' time. It's a lot more fun with a kid there. We took some fun pictures, which I'll download at home since I don't have a USB key yet. 'Doh! We spent some time in the petting zoo, and as a result I now smell like a big goat. Bahhhhh!
Thank you, Sandy, for your comment! Yes, my upbringing was very painful indeed. I forget sometimes exactly how much of a burden I used to carry around with me daily: anxiety, fear, uncertainty, no self esteem, and did I mention fear? Slowly over the years, a lot of that has been relieved through therapy and whatnot. Not saying I'm "fixed." I'm doing alright, but I'll be the first to admit that I have difficulty establishing and maintaining relationships. I wouldn't say I have PTSD. I do have a lot of anger though. There's some residual fear, like a fear of risk-taking and such. But hell, I'm in school, so I guess I'm working on that! Anyway, thanks again Sandy.

About Me
- Name: Newpeep, N.D. (neurotic depressive)
- Location: United States
Whateya need to know about me? Hmmm, I'm not clever enough to summarize myself concisely. Guess I'm underdeveloped, a late bloomer. Still trying to find my way in the world. I've already found my way *into* the world, which I suppose is a step in the right direction ... isn't it?

Glad to see you're back and that you seem to have done ok with the family.
Computers not having floppy drives or zip drives can be a bear - my new computer doesn't and my old camera used floppies. Fortunately, I got a new camera for Christmas but alas, no "USB key". They're not all that expensive and hold a ton more stuff than before.
So what sort of kewl stuff did you make with all your spare time?
