And again I posted more humor this morning, enjoy
I see the size and center tags are not working today
Hi
I was out walking this morning and did 8300 steps, The temperature this morning was 58/59 degrees. It was a nice day outside for walking despite the cloud cover. The Dense Fog in the forecast has not shown up so far, It is getting foggier strangely to me. The plan for yesterday was for a trip to eastern Pennsylvania which should add to my step count nicely. However on the return home I left my fitbit sitting so I missed some of my steps
I am sitting here resting for a few minutes before I go out to mow the lawn
Have a Great Friday

Good evening
Irene- I am glad you knee is feeling better.
Roger- I think it is time to buy a new laptop. I have had this one since 2009. It has served me well considering I spilled tea in it and gave it a water bath. When I try to type or navigate a site , boxes keep popping up and the curser moves on it's own.
Hi vix- hope you are well.
Have a good evening.0 -
good morning, I went for a walk first one in a long time I still get some pain but hopefully in time it will get better. My yard is looking so nice the grass in the front is really looking nice. George is going to mow it today the back still is coming in so we need to give it another week or two. My plans for today is to do some food shopping and do some house work . Jo I am sorry you have to replace your lap top. Vix what are you up to? Roger we had a lot of rain early this morning hoping it isn't raining in your neck of the woods0

Good morning
Sorry I've been MIA. I'm really tired of trying so hard with little to no results...healthwise, weightswise. ..my functional med Dr. told me not to log things for a while and to let go of the anxiety of trying to do everything right because she thinks it's adding to my stress level, causing more inflamation, which is preventing any progress. But I should be able to keep on the same diet and exercise path. Aaaaaaaaaaaack! This is so frustrating! I'm not sure I know how to do this. (Please excuse my Saturday morning rant.)
Anyway...it's foggy and windy and gray, and supposed to be very warm today. There is an open house at the Wellness Center where I get my acupuncture. I'm going to take my daughter...we get to sample all the services. Will be nice to spend some time with my daughter and get some pampering.
Roger, I liked your AAADD post!
Jo, sorry about your laptop. Mine's starting to act funny and it's only about 4 or 5 years old. (and I haven't given it a bath!)
Irene, glad your grass is growing in. Your BM house must be looking really good! Glad they figured out what was happening with your knee and it's getting better.
Have a great day, everyone.

Hi Joanne
I have two laptops that I use for specialty purposes, One is to use only for online shopping and nothing else, Not even Email, The Other sits in a different location and I use it with one of two scanners a page scanner that can a lot of pages into PDFs for example and a flatbed that can also do film. The First of those, a Acer I bought back when Windows 7 was first released to Learn Windows 7 on. The other is even older and came with a choice of Windows XP or Vista Business version as it is a Toshiba that is a Business model. Strangely enough the much cheaper Acer has a much better Battery as far as how long the battery will last as the batteries age. The Toshiba is faster.
I have seen a cursor that moves on its own be caused by Malware or a defective touch pad. There is a simple test if You can turn off the touchpad and use a USB mouse. If the problem goes away it is the touchpad, otherwise it could be malware or a motherboard fault.
Good Luck

Hi Irene
The Green Strandy Weed AKA grass is growing very fast here so far.
I did get a lot of rain in a short period of time Luckily in some ways it was over before I went walking. The lake and Brook in the park I walked through are high as a result.
Good Luck walking

I am so sorry that You are having this problem. So far I have managed to avoid being frustrated to much even when I had that Month long Plateau :0
I hope Your weather gets better speedily too.
Have a Good Day at the Wellness Center.

Good morning;
I got a new laptop yesterday. I am treating it as new and not transferring everything over from my old computer. I will add things as I need them. I did transfer my photos ,set up the printer
and install a few programs.
We are going to the first of the season open Sowo Market today. It is a nice sunny day and will get up into the middle 50's.
I hope everyone enjoys their day. 0 -
Hi
I was out walking this morning and did 8500 steps, The temperature this morning was 61/61 degrees. It was another nice day outside for walking. I got a late start as I slept later than usual
While walking I stopped for two eggs and a cup of Decaf, I turned some of the eggs into a sandwich using the toast and brought the home fires back to the house where my brother will use them tomorrow in his breakfast. Then I stopped at the Dollar store and spent a whopping Three dollars on a Box Of Blueberry Pancakes, a box of Blueberry Waffles and a Quart of 1% milk that will be safe on the pantry shelf until it reaches its Best if used buy march 20, 2018 I love the long shelf life since it means I can keep One in the Refrigerator and two on the shelf as every now and then they run out of the 1% and only have 2% or sometimes only whole milk.
I ended up the day at 10.2K+ for a step count. We went out Saturday and mulched using the bags we bought earlier this week at $2 for a 2 cubic foot Scotts Brown Mulch.
Have a Great Sunday

Hi Joanne
We are forecast to be in the 50s today too, yesterday it was 86 in parts on NJ Yo-Yo temperature this month sadly. That does make it hard to settle into any rhythm.
I would look at the software to see if it comes with basic image editing software. I run Windows 7 and Windows 10 for example and it come with Microsoft Paint that will allow me to add text and rotate and several other basic functions.
Example, here is Your image rotated 90 degrees.
Png format
JPG format
You can save it and use it as is if You want
Just curious what You are going to do with the old laptop?
Did You try a external mouse?
I periodically have done that too, where I just take a new computer and add things when I miss them. The other thing I do is when the mood strikes I back up everything twice and then Wipe the drive and reload as new. That way I end up with a lot less stuff as I only add back whatever I miss having handy
Cheers

Good morning!
Cute new picture, Jo. Congrats on the new laptop.
Roger, I'm enjoying your funnies.
Hi Irene.
Nothing planned for today. It's supposed to get warm here, but it's overcast and drizzly on and off.
Happy Sunday, everyone. 0 -
Good morning;
Thanks Roger for the info. My daughter showed me how change the picture on the Mac.
I use a wireless mouse with my laptop. The touch pad on my old laptop hasn't worked for a long time. I plan on keeping my old laptop for a while. I have backed up all the info on it to an external hard drive.
Vix-thanks, that picture is from a year or so ago. The one before that was from when my son got married almost 5 years ago.
It was chilly yesterday. We had a fun time at the market. My daughter and I tried hula hooping. That is quite the work out, but fun.
Hi Irene-I hope your knee if feeling better.
I am running errands this morning and then have a massage appt. this afternoon.
Have a great day.

The air is somewhat hazy outside. While I was walking I did see a Fox come up a side road running through peoples front yards and turn down the cross street heading towards the park. That makes two Foxes I have seen in different parts of town.
Our Weather forecast Sunday night indicated Semi to severe Thunderstorms overnight on Monday into Tuesday.
I ended up the day at 10.1K+ yesterday for a step count.
Have a Great Monday

I had a feeling that Apple might also have basic image editing available. I use the MS Paint program regularly, usually to resize images for use here if they are so large the would mean You need to scroll side to side to see all of them.
Good Luck with the errands and Enjoy Your Massage

Hi Irene0 -
hi! getting a late start didn't walk today I was in a lot of pain yesterday from our walk . We walked an hour which might be too much as you all can tell the shot helped me for about a day . I don't know what else to do if you have any ideas let me know.I have tried resting it , exercising it ,it still hurts no matter what I do . Jo your picture looks great. Roger the weather here is nice but it is suppose to rain tonight then I think the rest of the is suppose to be nice. Vix with all this rain hope it isn't making you sore.0

Hi all. Went to yoga this morning, then met an old friend from work for lunch...she just retired a month ago. Then we went to vote for our town mayor and council members and went to the library. Lots of little things filled up the day.
Irene, can you take some pain relievers for a few days and rest it...that might help. Then ease back into walking slowly. Sometimes we just have to be careful not to overdo. (you may also want to try some massage therapy, but I'm not sure how that works after surgery.)
Jo, hula hooping is supposed to be a great workout.
It's so nice that you get to do things with your daughter so often. I love when my daughter and I get a chance to do something together.
Roger, it's good that you keep up with all the computer stuff...I just totally let it go. As far as the jokes...it can be tip toeing when they deal with politics. I guess people with more extreme views would have a more difficult time with political jokes. I'd rather laugh.....maybe some is just nervous laughter, but whatever.
Pretty sky tonight...just peacefully shades of gray clouds with some pink and peachy highlights.
Have a good night, everyone. 0 -

Hi
I was out walking this morning and did 6100 steps, The temperature this morning was 70/71 degrees. It was a poor day outside for walking. As I was leaving the 7-Eleven with my coffee it started to rain. So I stayed under the overhang for a while until it let up. rather than take a chance I headed for home while it was stopped.
Currently it is a beautiful looking day outside the window, Oh Well
I plan to either go to CostCo or the ShopRite later when my brother leaves for a while. I want to get some more protein shakes and Fruit.
Have a Great Tuesday

Hi Irene
The Thunderstorms in the forecast failed to appear where I am. Oh well, I do not think it even rained much overnight, it looks as if the rain and thunderstorms went past to the north of Central NJ.
I have no suggestions for Your pain beyond don't walk until it has subsided and then try short distances and work up until You feel pain and then back down the distance.
I Hope the doctor can help. Living with pain is not fun. I have been having off and on pain in my left shoulder for several years, usually when I am walking as the left hand is what holds my Coffee cup.. I suspect a Rotator Cup injury.
Good Luck with the Pain

Hi Vix
If I said some people are too sensitive ?
I had a email from NewEgg today advertising a 1Gb Adata brand SSD and am tempted to get it to replace a old 1Gb Seagate hard Drive.It would at a minimum be faster.
It sounds as if You ha a busy day too.
Have a Nice Tuesday

good morning. I went for a short walk today and my knee was fine I think I have to keep the walks short I did 30 minutes this morning.Vix I do take meds for the pain oh well I will just have to keep them short for a while.0

Good afternoon,
It was raining when I went to work this morning. It is clearing up a little now and the sun is trying to come out.
I worked at another store today and will be going back there on Thurs. and Sat. and Monday through Thurs. next week. It is only a few more miles than I usually travel to work, just in the opposite direction. It is a nice change, everyone is friendly and a much slower pace.
Irene-sounds like you will have to take it slow for a while.
We have 2 little birds making a nest in one of the birdhouses that I hung up. I was sitting on the deck watching them take turns bringing nesting material into the birdhouse.
Vix-you had a busy morning.
Roger-I am sorry that your walk got cut short. Did you forget your umbrella?
Enjoy your evening.

Hi all.
I put more bird houses outside...I now have 4 of my hand made ones hanging out there. At a minimum, they are decorative! I went to Pt and clay group today.
Jo, glad the other store is pleasant. Cool that the birds are using your birdhouse. We have one that the bluebirds like.
Roger, I used to love ordering things from New Egg, so much better prices. Faster is better.
Irene, glad you could walk a little. Ease into it gradually...that gives you a chance to build up the muscles around the joint.
Have a great night, everyone. 0 -

Hi
I was out walking this morning and did 7400 steps + 1 Quarter, The temperature this morning is cooler than Tuesdays 59/59 degrees.
Currently it is a beautiful looking day outside the window.
I went to the ShopRite and spent around $40. I planned to get some more protein shakes and Fruit. I managed to forget the Protein shakes Now I need to go back in the next couple of days or switch to using an alternative before I go walking. I may be able to get there this morning
Have a Great Wednesday

I guess the next thing to try would if You were me is a 30 minute walk in the morning and a 30 minute walk in the evening.
I'm glad to hear there was no pain from the walk.
Good Luck

I had looked at the weather forecast before I started out and they did not mention a possibility of rain or I would have taken at a minimum the folding umbrella that fits my pocket or the Frogg Toggs jacket that folds up really small and can also fit into a pocket.
I am hoping that the bird my brother saw flying into the unused vent on the side of the kitchen does not mean a nest inside of it. I lived with the noise one year when they nested under a bedroom window AC unit and I never knew it until the babies started cheeping for food. I did not disturb them. I just made sure that the following year they could not get under it to nest.
Have fun at the other store.

Hi Vix
I'm guessing that they are all Ceramic birdhouses?
It appears that Amazon is on the way to being one of NJ's largest employers. According to the news they plan to have three more fulfillment centers opening up this year.
Many of the NewEgg items I could actually pick up at their location as if they are in stock there that is an option
Cheers

Good morning.
Went swimming this morning and have acupuncture scheduled for later this afternoon.
It's a little chilly and windy here, mostly overcast.
Yes, I have 4 handmade ceramic birdhouses outside and one that we bought before I started making them...that's been out the longest and the one that the bluebirds like. All the little birds like my handmade ceramic feeder.
Rpger, do you have a local NewEgg store? I didn't know they had actual stores.
Jo, good that you're getting a break at work.
Irene, glad the knee is feeling better.
Happy Wednesday. 0 -
Good afternoon;
It is cool and windy today. I worked at my store today. I felt like I didn't accomplish much, I was playing catch-up all day. Tomorrow I am at the other store.
Have a great evening.
