Family Search gave a link to the "badge" for helping. I had downloaded 10 batches Friday evening but was gone all of Saturday and have Sunday morning church so I had only done 8-15% on any one batch when the "day" began at 1700 my time. If you open each batch you download and do Something on it you can access it later to work offline and I wasn't sure I wanted to risk not getting on just because everyone else had time to access the server when I did. I did 2-3batches offline and then went online to submit them and download more. Had to try a couple of times once on Sunday evening to get on to submit work, otherwise it was fine. I worked about 4 hours Sunday evening, 1 hour Monday a.m. and 45 minutes Monday afternoon. I listened to President Monson's biography on cd while I worked, Thank You Heather, and time flew by. I usually aim for 600 names a week. Finally realized I was using up valuable time downloading as I submitted and just concentrated on getting batches done and out, download more if and when I ran out! And my time to help ran out before the batches ;-}
Lots of fun!

Then today my Yahoo acct was hacked which led to my Gmail acct being hacked, I have no intention to visit Madrid, no offense to the Spanish, and an email from me would be worlds more articulate - spelling, grammar, Everything. To include my need to capitalize 'wherever the spirit strikes me' for effect/emphasis. Major losses so far are my contact list and sent mail file on Yahoo. Any sent mail more recent than Dec 2008 vanished. My biggest concern was losing the Elder Kahuhu and Elder O'Gara files, emails from my missionaries, Those are precious to me, and to my sanity ;-Þ
Off to Aunt Sandy's for the 4th, as soon as I update ages for Le and Tiney! xoxoxox
