Lassie, thanks for that tip. I'm saving it just in case. I'm a super nitwit - Isabella is much more techie than me.
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY, ALL!
-
Holy crap Lassie!!! Did that sideways monitor thing happen while you were posting here on bco?? If so, I remember that!!!!
3jays, I am honestly trying, but just cannot bring up a serious image of a dog using mouthwash... sorry!!
-
Noo- that happened before BC #2 when I got onto this site. What amazed me is that such a function even exists. Who needs to turn their monitor on its side?! Then one of the doctors I visited somewhere along the line had a monitor on its side so that long documents were longer on the screen. It happened when my grandson was less than a year old and I let him tap away on the keys. He had no idea what he was doing - now eight, he's pretty darned good with a computer.
-
Many thanks, Lassie.
I dare not use system restore...I forgot... my DD came over this morning, and she spent an hour getting my AOL Homepage/pc BACK from wherever it's been since I lost it all 10 days ago, swapping pc's !!
I bought a brand new pc, had it '''set up''' in the shop, came home, and it's been just a load of carp ever since. Homepage, passwords.( I spent 45 mins on the 'phone last week talking to AOL, funnily enough with an Indian accent !!!!!) no printer, no photo files...all gone to nowhere !! I have had my 'little man', the pc whizz, here twice ( he couldn't fix it....he won't be coming again, that's for sure !!) and was just at the stage of 'It's going into the river' when DD said she'd have a look at it.
I should have loaded it back into the car and taken it back to the shop, but the roads have been atrocious, so let DD at it. Within an hour she had me back to where I've always been...I was so pleased I could have eaten her !!!! BUT, if I restore won't I lose the lot to yesterdays scrambled mess ???There isn't a time I can restore to when the thing has been normal ! All I want is BCO back to normal....and this pc has been in turmoil since I brought it home ! The pc I have just discarded had been seriously ill since before Christmas...and before that I was never happy with it for over a year. DD seems to have got it back to normality...just as I want it ,in fact. I didn't know she could do this, she has kept this very quiet, right thru' all my moanings and groanings about never having a pc I could trust !!!
DD also brought me the most lovely Georgian dolls' house you ever did see....for my upcoming birthday. I certainly wasn't expecting it at all 'til I saw her and one G/son struggling across the snow hanging on to this monster box. I daren't shout to them, in case they fell over, so had to stand, biting my lip, on the doorstep, as they picked their way across the snow and ice....of course, DD being DD, in 3 " heels !!!
I am having a very lazy afternoon now, sorting out things that I had not been able to access for some time.
Isabella.
-
Happy upcoming Isabella. What fun.
Ginger - your work with Haiti is a noble cause, Thank You! Each of us seems to have our focus on making some piece of the world at least a little better. As for "what now?" it seems to me that's what comes with aging somewhat gracefully - continuing to grow and adapt to the new, we sort of re-invent ourselves as we go along, maintaining whatever core we started out with. If that makes any sense at all.... Anyway, you now have all sorts of options open to you in this new phase, and it could lead anywhere...
I'm with Barbe, 3jays, how in the world do you mouthwash a dog? What a mental image...
-
ALSO: We are having a Spirited and Lively, huge happy dance - everyone's invited - to celebrate Marybe's TMs.
-
I am happy Dancing for Marybe!!
Isabella, get your DD to get it back to normal. In the lower right hand corner of internet explorer is a 100% or more thing. If you click on it you can make what is in the browser smaller.
-
Okay Lassie, then that means I know TWO peole who that happened to!!
-
I started a topic titled, "I think my house keepers are stealing" I would love to have your opinions of insights on this. I do feel a bit afraid of repercussions.

Morning folks. Off to the hated job but on a positive note, I plan to work from home Friday. Trying to do that 1-2 days a week. I can do two more days. It sucks to find myself wishing my life away.
-
Aw Barb, sorry you hate your job.....hope something else turns up soon.
Over here we can retire @ 60 ( well, for the next 3 years, then the new 'work til you drop' laws will kick in !!) Men have to work 'til 65 now, in 3 years it'll be 68-69. It is ridiculous, after 65 not many people can say they are not touched by illness, and really shouldn't be having to work. The young things are all complaining now that us oldies are 'job blocking'...and they're right.
I took my state pension @ 60, but am still continuing to do a bit, we can earn a certain amount and it doesn't affect the state pension....but...get £1 over that amount and they start taking the pension away.
Isabella.

Yeah, I hear ya, Isabella but I have to have health insurance because of BC. I could retire if health insurance was realistic but 1K/month won't cut it. Marty can get medicare in November and if I could find a *reasonable* health poilicy, I would just do it. Talk about stress.
-
Yipes. Joyce, I was *hoping* the premium would be 1K. I guess I should dream on. Sigh.
-
I had to get some good ions today from the Ocean...it works wonders for me
-
Lisa, that is so beautiful and calming. I can just feel the sun. Cold, cloudy, with showers here.
-
Wow, Lisa. What a lovely scene. We don't have rocks here, just sand. We also have killer sunsets. Here is one from this week...can't remember which night.
-
Holy CRAP! $1400 a month & that's in a group? I'd be insurance-less. that's over 1/2 my pay.
-
-
So pretty, crisp, springlike - not a bit like my yard after snow, ice storm, wind destroyed so many fir trees, fir limbs & our Japanese Birch tree....
-
MostlyMom, my step daughter was telling me aout it (she lives in Seattle) Whew! She visited a couple weeks ago right after snowmageddon.
-
mostly mom, live on the canal. Had lots of snow but no damage thankfully. Back to the normal rainy pattern.
-
WA coast here. Had a little snow but lots of wind and rain and cold. At least cold for here and with the wind it really cuts to the bone.
-
A little earlier today we had an incredible tropical thinderstorm -whow it was something. DH said they had the rain where he works but we just had thunder and lightening.
This is from the local paper. and this is at the airport, no wonder DH said the rain was incredible he works right where its falling.
At the moment the sky is blue but the storm warnings are still there. It was lovely earlier when I took DGS for a walk.
-
wow, it looks like the sky just opened up and sent a soaker
-
Lisa - Love the little birdie, looks like he cannot decide which branch to hold on to so he is holding both. Maybe he knew the winds were coming.
It has been cold and rainy here all day after being gorgeous all week. The weather is very unusual here for this time of year. We have not had even a flake of snow yet. The way things are goings we may have a whopper of a snow storm in April!!!!
