Yesterday my brother Kent called and asked if I had an extra keyboard....which I did.

My uncle who had bought a computer from me - that I had bought my sister, but that she couldn't use - about ten years ago, had finally decided he wanted to set it up and use it.

He has been playing solitaire on it all this time.

About fifteen minutes after he left, my brother called me and said that they couldn't figure out what was wrong with it.....I talked him through a couple of things....and then finally said....

Post by: Jrand73 on January 17, 2020, 07:12:49 AM
To hell with it - I'll be over in five minutes.

The computer of course has the VISTA operating system, which Windows no longer updates or accepts questions about.

I downloaded the latest Google Chrome and it works like a dream.

I showed him how to use it - but he is not sure.....he wants to buy a laptop so he will have a book on how to use the internet....I told him he could find all that he needed online, but he might want to buy a laptop to get a NEW operating system.

I also downloaded a free virus software, but it's not a very good one.  He has AT&T, so I may go over next week and download their free Norton type software.....

DR JEANNE:
We're about a week away from celebrating Chinese New Year, when we will say goodbye to 2019's Pig and welcome the year of the metal Rat. Rat years are said to be energetic years where ambition counts, making this an excellent time to think about the future.
The emphasis this year is on working smarter (not necessarily harder) as you move toward achieving success, but there will be a lot of temptations along the way. The metal Rat puts you in a singular mindset, so you might lose sight of the big picture as you work toward your own individualized goals. Rat energy is fast, but you should still make time to stop and smell the roses.

It was snowing a little bit when I got up, but it's not anymore.  I did get a text saying that my building wouldn't open until 9:00 am today, but since I don't get to work until after that, it didn't affect me. ::)

I've been trying to get to the car wash all week. I headed over there today, but the street construction, which has gone on for many months, was still in progress and the driveway to the car wash was blocked. Terrible for business. Rather than fight all the traffic to find another way in I moved on to Errand #2. But my car's tire pressure light went on, so I drove to a nearby gas station to put air in the tires. I did so, but the indicator stayed on. There's a tire store not far away, and I felt it was time for their expertise. They adjusted the pressures and said I needed two new tires. They had the size in stock, could do it right away, and the price was decent. I've been thinking it's time to put a little money into the car. I like the car, it's in good condition, and I've spent very little on repairs to date. But I'd forgotten it was due for new rear tires.

Yes, DR ChasSmith, the original on Montgomery Road.  There are only 2 locations now, original and the Boathouse, which is on the Ohio River east of downtown.  We like both, but the river site is nicer during the day.

And now, I'm leaving work and going home for a 3-day weekend!  My family is getting together probably on Sunday, so I should have tomorrow and Monday all to myself!  Well, I'd BETTER have tomorrow and Monday all to myself! >:(

I'm enjoying The Golden Bowl. I think I saw it before, but I don't think I enjoyed it the first time. I may have been distracted. Angelica Houston is wonderful as a two-faced gossip. So perfect for Henry James.

Went dancing tonight at a country-western bar. It was really a lot of fun, if a bit loud and crowded. The dance floor was insanely busy. Too often it was more about traffic control than dancing.

We had a nice dinner, during which we heard all about (and saw pictures of) the house that the kids are buying in Wheaton, Illinois.

Exciting.  Did they sell their current home?

They’re in the process, DR Jane.

Excellent.  Vibes it goes smoothly!

Not quite.

Second Kritzerland rehearsal was very good - this time I gave detailed notes to everyone. 
Title: Re: HAVE I MENTIONED?
Post by: bk on January 17, 2020, 10:18:28 PM
Rehearsal wasn't really a rehearsal - one crucial actor gone - so we just ran lines, start to finish.  That was good, and the actors saw exactly where they need to bone up on the lines.

I had a bacon and cheese omelet earlier, with a bagel.  That's all I've eaten today and I'm certainly not going to make anything else.

TCB, that is a horrifying story. Please tell me those drivers are still in prison.


I wish I could say that they are, but no such luck.  Both boys received 30 days in jail, 60 days suspended, and 500 hours of community service.  At that time, Washington had no crime of vehicular homicide on the books.
