Well. That explains it David.

I sleep 3 - 8 hours 6 times a week (I skip a night to move my time to leave home at 5am). I then need to convert back to night sleep/day awake. I eat 7 times a week and always have - and I still get fat. I excercise about 20-30 hours a week (and still get fat). Since 8am I've been out twice, read 2 newspapers and one political journal, watched CSI, Stingers, The Sopranos between 8:30 pm and 11:30 pm, had a dispute with a hospital who sent me an email at 11am asking if I was going to attend a 10:30am appointment (first I had heard of it). Had to persuade them that I knew nothing about it. But mainly I was waiting for my other sis to ring to see if I can get this virus laden, spyware laden OEM piece of crap off my schedule. She finally contacted me and said "I'll talk to you later". (My niece does a destructive restore when the spyware gets too much - so I install all this crap over and over again). The last thing I said to my other sis, after asking her to type conf in Start Run (and she didn't) was "You are a waste of time". Have to be careful not to let computers seperate me from my last sibling. So finally I went to sleep, and 10 minute later, MEOW, MEOW (the cat knows I'm writing about it) and if I don't respond it will run up and down my body till I do or sit 1 mm from my face and start howling. Plus I wait online for my mum. My nephew has just been moved a long way from my mother (100s of Kms) just to spite her by the child's father who is suspect #1. My dad is major depressed as his mum, only sibling, and daughter all died last year. The solicitor doing the will also died while doing it (who my dad had known for 50 years). He's also very ill. The cat is in attack mode now, just went for the mouse.
