    Chests are fine and dandy. Our experience on the Indian Pacific was memorable. If it’s Australias most luxurious train well I’d hate to get on the worst train or perhaps we did on the red rattlers way back when. Three passengers on our luxurious train journey were ill. Two were met at Broken Hill by the paramedics the other lady continued on and she was in our carriage. All affected carriages have been taken off for fumigating. Apparently the virus has been on the train for a while and not discovered until reported by the infected passengers after the fact.
    So yes I’m pleased Auburn feels much better.:D

    It was meant in jest- but I got my comeuppance!
    As soon as I had transfered my files my broadband went down!
    Down all last night but is magically back today.
    So I can play with my new computer and stay out of your way !

    Sue...that Norwalk virus is rampant on cruise ships! We first heard of it in Spain cuz half of our plane passengers went on a week's cruise. But we stayed at the hotel (near Barcelona) for the whole 2 weeks. Boy were they ever sick!! Spent the 2nd week recuperating!

    In those days, cruise owners denied it but I suggested to a few that they let their local TV stations know!! Amazing results...into drydock for fumigation! This trip was around the year 2001 (virus was too)

    (I read your post re Norovirus after I posted this so revised it...my bad!)

    Wendy...i have 2 laptops cuz the 7 yr old HP was supposed to be failing but of course kept on truckin’ after I bought the new one a yr ago. This old one has been giving me fits after Willy fixed it up a month ago and won’t fire up half the time.

    Long story short, I got it going today and gave it a good cleanup and wondered about the updates Willy put on for me...suspected there might be a glitch. Today brought 2 early updates so crossed my eyes and put them on....seems to be faster now...hmmm! I will see if it beeps at me tomorrow & refuses to start up. Btw, what your son did was a “system restore” but I couldn’t get at it to do one. I noticed the new updates lately are wiping them out. Bet I lost you at the beginning of this paragraph!:p:D But. I understood what your son was doing. I thought of it too.

    Bwa ha ha!! I realized it as I was halfway through that I was losing a few people, but basically I didn't buy Willy's $150 explanation that I needed a reinstall of Windows10, so when I miraculously got it to fire up, I went over it with a fine tooth comb.

    It is not all that common for Microsoft updates to have a bug or glitch in them.......but when I saw she had a problem after the update, well that made me wonder. So I will shut this down with fingers crossed tonight and see if it is still OK tomorrow.

    How are the two of you doing, sweet cheeks?? All is relatively well here for the two old fogies. :D Elayne is coming home for a visit in 3 weeks cuz I laid a guilt trip on her, grin. Haven't seen her since June of 2018.
    Hugs to you and that goodlooking hubby of yours.....():-)
