4:34 PM Karen: OK, good, thanks. Happy New year, are you staying in or going out?

5:00 PM Karen: Did you get a deposit for $1000 from Dad?
5:01 PM me: not yet, he's out of town, said he would call me yesterday but didn't
5:02 PM Karen: Well, you have a deposit made for $1000. It's shows "not available" yet, so please don't overdraw. Your available balance is only $16.
 me: okay-dokey
 Karen: Maybe he deposited without your asking? That would be a first :) Plus, I thought he was cutting off in December?
5:03 PM me: no idea
5:04 PM I think he was impressed with the magazine project based on the phone calls I had to take at dinner
  he understands putting deals together more than he does writing books
 Karen: What magazine project?
 me: the magazine that we're running out of our house
  scallywag
5:05 PM Karen: everytime I try to pull up that site, it won't let me. You can see the home page, but a message comes up saying my internet explorer will not access.
 me: you need to not be using internet explorer anyway
  download firefox
  and don't use IE at all
5:06 PM for one thing, it's prone to viruses and spyware
 Karen: OK will do.
 me: or Google Chrome
  actually, get Chrome
 Karen: how do I get it and use it? Never mind, will research later.
 me: just google "Google Chrome"
5:07 PM it's extraordinarily easy, you'll click three buttons and then when it asks you to make it the default browser say yes
