stucked with Natalie video

I've been trying to remove the Natalie Portman video that's on my profile but it doesn't work... I don't think it takes a PhD to do so, they're a fonction "remove from profile". I've clicked on it a douzain of time and yet Natalie's still on... Any suggestions, anybody? I don't have much patience for computers lately. Speaking of which today's national moving day in Canada. Don't ask me why but most Montrealers move out July 1st. So I found a "good as new" printer on the street yersteday. It prints like a charm. Today I found a better T.V. than the one I had found last month... I guess you'd call that an upgrade. Martina carried all the bags we had so I could carry the T.V. She's moving back to Schweitz on Monday. I'll miss her greatly. We had an amazing day, lots of yard sales, productive thrift shopping day and of course ice cream. She left me some stuff she didn't want to take home: clothing and some essential oil lavander foambath that I'm psyched to use. Meeting Martina had a great impact on me. Aside from my family that I absolutely adore, I don't particularily enjoy the presence of Swiss people (this is obviously a generalization but I've always had a hard time to relate to the culture and its people). Involontarily Martina showed me lots of attributes that I had forgot about Mountain people. There's this thing about cultural quirks and when you're abroad for so many years you simply adapt to wherever you are forgetting that these so called cultural quirks even exist. But then you meet someone from the village next to yours and there're all these shortcuts... in no time your psyche connects effortlessly to the person to a much deeper level. Well, it's been refreshing to experience that with Martina and reconnect to these qualities I knew but mostly forgot about. Qualities such as good old commun sense, authenticity, healthy mind set, simplicity, purity, honesty and integrity. Makes me want to aim for nothing less. Thank you Martina.
