Just realized I got the name wrong. Blossom and Buttercup are two of three comic super-heroes. We've had :buttercup: for years now, :blossom: just joined in.
Yes, it is just me. I picked up a virus the other day going to a blog's site. My husband hacked it out, but my laptop is now doing things it wasn't before (smilies not moving, won't show me some videos, flushing out my saved log-ins upon shutdown - which I thought I'd fixed.)
