I have Windows 7......do you have to download all of your add-ons again? What happens to your Word program?

Does your current OS just disappear? I would hate to lose all of my programs that I use.

I have Windows 7 on my other computers. Windows 10 is closer to Windows 7 than Windows 8. It has some differences but not that many. All my files and other programs are still there. There is a new internet browser, but I just had to click on "import favorites" and all my favorites were there. I think Windows 8 is gone, not sure

Windows 10 calls all programs apps. So it says "Show all apps" it's organized a little differently, but everything seems to be there plus some new things I haven't checked out

I downloaded Windows 10 on my laptop last night. If you download it, I suggest doing the "custom" install rather than the "express". If you do the express you give permission to use your location, send info to Microsoft and other things I'm not really fond of doing. You can turn them all off if you do custom. I haven't played with the apps much yet, but so far it's working fine without having any of those things turned on. It is much better than Windows 8 was.

I've been wondering if, whenever I get my next computer, I should just get Windows 10 and totally skip everything before it. Or would going directly from XP to 10 be too much of a culture shock?

I just watched the getting started video. There are some cool things on here. I think I'm going to like this a lot

Thanks for the info DR CILLA LIZ....I am still thinking about it.

It has a personal assistant like Siri called Cortana. I'm not using it because I don't like to have my location etc sent to Microsoft. You can make modifications to it, but I don't really need it

BK, the only thing I know that you can spray on things to keep raccoons away is made from the urine of predators. Ironically, some are made from coyote urine.

Soaking the rags with ammonia worked great. We never had them in our trash again even though we only used the rags a few times.

For all my protesting, it seems I may have overdone it this week. I slept 8 hours last night but really didn't feel on top of my game today, so I packed up some work and came home. I ate lunch on the new deck and sat in the chaise for a little while. It's beautifully shady out there until late in the afternoon, then it's only 1/2 in the sun. I need to get a deck storage box to keep my cushions and hammock in so I don't have to take them in and out all the time to keep them safe from the weather

I've never done that and should have.

It has been so hot here the past week. Yesterday was really bad. With the humidex it was 40C, which is crazy hot.

That is hot! It will be in the high nineties here today.

Her husband passed away very suddenly in May. She's been sitting up in her room a lot watching tv. Her window is right over my deck. When they finished last night she leaned over to the window and said "Beautiful deck, much better than the old one" It made me smile.

It is nice when you also make the neighbors happy.

No word yet from Charlotte. I do hope i will see her today. She's heading to Italy soon.

Hey, all!

TOD: Not at all a fan of "reality TV," but I admit to enjoying not-overly-gimmicked cooking competitions (the original Iron Chefs, "Chopped" when it has real talent on). There's also a soft spot in my heart for "Queer Eye." Hate, hate, hate all 10 minutes of "American Idol" that I've seen.

My mom always did. I have fabric cushions, I keep them in the garage and they look just as nice as they did the day I bought them

I really do like it so far. I was ready to throw this laptop out my living room window, now it seems to work great. It was WIndows 8

Hard to say the worst reality TV. I think it's all the following the people type shows like the one Kirstie Allie did or the Kardashians or any of those.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #80 on:** July 30, 2015, 12:54:31 PM »

I enjoy a lot of reality shows like Dancing with the Stars, some seasons of the Amazing Race and others. I know they aren't "reality" but I don't care, I'm entertained

I would never define a talent show like that a "reality" show. But that's just me.

The doctor removed the staples and cast from my foot today.

Now, for the next several weeks, I will be wearing a compression bandage, doing water therapy and using a walker.

I've had a lovely visit with Charlotte who will fly to Italy with her parents on Sunday for nine(?) days. when she's back, we'll see a movie. That cheered me up.

It is so steamy outside. i open the apartment door and my glasses steam up.
