DR Matthew - great to see you back, and glad that you are feeling healthier! The avatar looks great.

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.

TOD

I'm pretty certain my worst technology nightmare would be computer oriented, but there have been a few doozies and at this point I'm not even sure I care to revisit them.

But you know what's sad? It's the fact that these nightmares happen so easily to people who are quite well versed in understanding their computer or phone or whatever it is. Speaking for myself: I am not my parents, or a newbie in any way, and in a couple of years it will have been thirty -- count 'em -- thirty years since I sat, amazed, in front of my first computer. And I ran with that amazement and learned a lot of things about how to use the contraptions.

And yet, these things happen.

("These things happen!..." -- you have to imagine Ethel Merman braying that to Milton Berle in Mad World.)

So wonderful to have DR Matthew back!!!

Nice new avatar from DR MATTHEW.

Fun to read in the notes about MR BK's birthday adventures.

Thanks again to all who commented on the video....it was fun to make.

Continued condolences to DR SINGDAW and JAYSON on the passing of their canine companion.

DR BEN's link is correct....Aldi's in a grocery emporium....good stuff....low prices.....you bring your own bags and sack the stuff yourself, but I spent about $143 on what would have cost close to $200 even at WalMart.

I've had an hour in the rain, which was grisly, but not as bad as I feared. The pst office was empty and I was home in no time. The worst part was the wait in the rain, foolishly trying to hail a cab. I shoulda just hopped on a bus as I ended up doing, rather than standing in the street and getting wet.

Did I post this photo of my adopted son Joshie and his brother Jeremy at their violin lesson?

Good morning.

Great video, JRand.

Singdaw, I am so sorry to hear about Zach.

Tuesday morning greetings! Last night was AAUW Middletown's festive December meeting, which opened with a performance by the Middletown High School show choir, Purple Pizzazz. We then had a business meeting and delightful social time, but Madame President was exhausted afterwards and collapsed into bed about 10pm.

DR Singdaw, condolences to you and Jayson on Zach's passing...

Thank you to DRs TCB and Vixmom for their kind comments about my birthday story.

Ginny · « **Reply #47 on:** December 09, 2014, 07:56:23 AM »

Welcome back to DR Matthew - you've been missed!

Jrand73 · « **Reply #48 on:** December 09, 2014, 07:57:39 AM »

Nice photo DR ELMORE - I don't remember seeing it.

We had an ugly sweater contest at our board meeting on Sunday night. Here are the winner, on the right, and the runner up.

Ginny · « **Reply #49 on:** December 09, 2014, 08:01:44 AM »

Cute, DR JRand!

TOD:

Passwords are my nemesis.......on my new to me iPhone 5, I can't get my password to work for APPS or iTunes or whatever it is......I wrote it down, so I know it's correct. When it doesn't work, I go online and change it......still no good.....

So I know I am not using a lot of features that are available to me.

I also have voice recognition texting that converts my speaking to texts or messages, but it doesn't recognize one of my brother's names.....I say Kent and it types can't.

Good morning, all.

Listening in on the quarterly meeting while I work from home. I like working for a financially stave company.

I wish the same for Elmore.

John G. · « **Reply #52 on:** December 09, 2014, 08:22:08 AM »

Tod: I hate it when I have to be somewhere for photos, etc. and the camera or phone camera doesn't work.

Ginny · « **Reply #53 on:** December 09, 2014, 08:57:48 AM »

Christmas shopping frustration: My mother, who needs nothing that can be bought, is very fond of Fannie May chocolates. I found something in their catalog that I thought would please her and got online to order it. Not only was that out of stock, almost nothing was available. I called and found out about THIS.

DR Elmore, this is the warehouse for the company where you bought chocolates that we delivered to Jo after seeing you in Canton, OH, several years ago.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #54 on:** December 09, 2014, 09:20:16 AM »

Oh my goodness....DR GINNY......Fannie May.....what a terrible thing.....and what terrible timing! I bet the neighborhood still smells good, though.

Ginny: Would See's be an acceptable substitute brand? See's makes incredible chocolates.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #56 on:** December 09, 2014, 10:57:16 AM »

Tuesday, December 9, 2014...."Meh!"

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #57 on:** December 09, 2014, 10:58:34 AM »

I have two more work days left in this year.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #58 on:** December 09, 2014, 10:58:47 AM »

So much to do, so little time....
