Heh... she’s fine, I swear! I saw her over puttering in her yard! I guess she only responded in FRMail.

Rosie... I hope I didn’t embarrass you by posting it here. I thought it was good for everyone to know and advise me on what I should do about it is all.

Hey... at least it was just House you were downloading ;~)

We hadda good day, but we're 'xausted. This was the Richmond Home Show and Maymont (local park) Flower and Garden Show. We love going 'cause we get great ideas. This is where we found Nana's chair lift and suddenly went from paying $15,000 to remodel the garage to paying about $4,000 for the chairlift.

Here's a few pics...I didn't do all that well with the camera.

I just honestly didn't mean to do anything wrong, and I feel like a total schmuck. By the way, for those who might have wondered, this was current run TV stuff that's shown on broadcast TV - not DVD rips or anything. Same as we used to get LOST a few years back - remember we were always a day behind?

I actually had a discussion at work a few weeks ago because there was talk about how Comcast is cracking down on those who download movies (which I don't do and wouldn't do - morally, it bugs me, though I know there are rationalizations, and I don't need to go off on that...) I mentioned currently running TV as a grey area that they don't bother with, and my boss said, "Oh, that isn't even a grey area. It's legal. It's not like anyone's making a profit, and it isn't redistributing a purchased product." So I hadn't even thought much about it. Obviously, I'm an idiot. I don't think anything else will happen, because as Ramius said, the numbers are just too big. And I was never a heavy user either. Those are the only files I've tried downloading in a long time. Obviously, I won't try again. I erased the program and the files.

For the record, I'm getting my own cable in a few weeks, but I still feel sick about the whole thing. So I kind of avoided the computer most of the weekend. As a bonus, I got most of the over-winter leaves raked out of the back yard, cleared around the crocuses that I have coming up, tidied the entire house, sold one of my extraneous typewriters (at a good profit, I might add), spent some time at church in addition to just the Mass, and did a lot of reading.

So there's that.
