Hi Billie!

haven't been on for a bit (spring finaalllyyy arrived up here) because I have been busy planting veggies, etc.  I did catch your mention of your Sprycel "sleeping pill" and did a two-day self test.  Sure enough, 2 hours after taking, it's LIGHTS OUT!  Knew I was having a serious attack of the "sleepies"  but since I wasn't taking my Sprycel at exactly the same time every day I didn't connect it up as being different from the general fatigue we all have.   This is a very valuable bit of info, thank you!  Now I know if going somewhere important (or driving) to time my pill accordingly.  Usually, if I am busy, I can shake it off but sometimes I have no choice but to stop what I am doing and crawl into my recliner for a few minutes. 

About the spelling thing.  I have the same problem with words I've known for years but don't use often.  (My bigger problem is sometimes remembering names of things in conversation~I hate standing there like an idiot~arrggghh).  Anyway, at least on-line, there is an easy fix.  Switch your web browser to Chrome.  It has a built in spell checker that underlines any "goofs" and just a right mouse click will supply the correct spelling.  This feature works in any window, box, chat, page, etc. you might be working in.

Hope this tip might help someone else out there,

Vicki

Oh yeah, by the way, I have been out in the sun for over a week now and NO SUNBURN OR QUESY STOMACH!   Must have just needed a full year off the Gleevec for my body to re-set.

Dear Billie:  I am having all kinds of trouble with my computer for weeks now, ever since they updated our security sytem they messed up everything else.

Glad it was just your computer, and not you.
