You have been missed!

And another thing.  Along with the auto-correct, the auto-fill feature on my phone.  It's often very helpful ... but when it isn't, watch out! 

It apparently doesn't know anything about contractions, and offers up the most bizarre choices for "I'll", "don't", and the like, none of which are correct.

And unless there's a setting I don't know about, it doesn't remember anything you accept as a word to build up a personal dictionary, so you go through life pecking the same things out every day.

The only device that I have that even offers autocorrect/autofill is my (non-smart) phone for texting, but I have it all disabled.  Texting on my flip-phone is very cumbersome and having to correct too much just isn't worth it.

But I otherwise love my flip-phone!

George's phone has been borrowed from the Smithsonian.

Helper will be over to do Christmas decor and to retrieve her brand new iPhone 5S - my old phone, which we'll wipe clean.

Removing fingerprints?

We just shared a meal with our upstairs neighbors.  I fixed salmon and broccoli and Rob did potatoes and Mary Linda brought wine.

I am glad you are getting to know those young people.

I have now caught up.

Matthew, I hope the weight loss wasn't due to ill health.  You are looking great.

[TCB]

Vixmom, are you still here?

[George]

My 12 year old TV died today.

We said Kaddish over it, then went out and got a new one.

RIP.  Long live your new TV!

Not borrowed from...donated to.

There are several new different pieces of furniture I would like to purchase over time, but there is no way I could put them together.  I can't even manage to fix the vacuum cleaner.

Should be.

I have tried very hard, during the last years, not to ask any of my remaining friends for help.  And when I have finally broken down and asked someone for a favor, I have always offered to pay them for their time.  But apparently, asking for even one favor can be enough to end a friendship.

Then they are not friends.

I suppose I should write some notes?

I've never broken up a friendship because of favors (not a euphemism).  Fooey on them!

My computer has to update and restart.  It's nice to know that there are still some updates for Windows XP.
