I was being nice and invited Nancy and Terry out for breakfast before they left. By the time they got to Shoney's, it was lunchtime. We ate and chatted. Terry and I suggested that Nancy get therapy. I finally found out what Starhawk had told her when she asked what she should do. Starhawk used the same Persephone parable as she did at the full moon circle the other night. One trick pony much? I would have thought that surely someone as Wiccan as Starhawk could have come up with something a little more...pertinent? Nancy played apologist saying that she probably didn't want to give real advice since she didn't want to be sued. What a load of shit. If she didn't want to give advice, she should have said so. And when was the last time an author was sued for impromptu advice given? Infuriating.

At least she's gone and Terry will have to deal with her insanity for a while. I've got Terry's email addy. I'll send her a nice, chatty note inquiring about our mutual friend later.

Teena had asked me to come over and see what was wrong with her computer. The unit hadn't booted since before the storm. The BIOS didn't recognize the hard drive so I popped the cover off and reseated the cables. The BIOS then recognized it and it booted into Windows XP just fine. As a precaution, I did a Disk Cleanup and Defragged both the C and D drives. From the amount of extraneous files, the machine hadn't had any appreciable system maintenance for a while. Teena was happy; her kids were happy and her husband will be happy to get his laptop back.
