I did lose the few downloads I had but I don't use this feature much on this type of computer, so I didn't lose very much.
The one I replaced was so old they were going to quit the updates in 2020, so it was time.1 -
Pip or anyone in the Pacific NW Do you have room . . . Would you be interested in adopting a 4 year old service dog whose owner just passed away and needs a new home? His name is Henry and he's in Portland. [/quote}
your friend should see if there is any organizations that could use a service dog for someone3 -
Dogs like Henry get snatched up in a hurry. He's on his way to his new home now with the sister of a friend where he'll be loved forever7

Heather the birthday party pictures of you and your family are lovely. Thank you for sharing.
I'm right behind you in age, I'll turn 70 on November 5th.

Tracey and Margaret – feel better fast
Cheri – my friend from college lives in Parkland. Her daughters went to the school where the shooting was.
Pip – how was the concert?
Went in the pool then strung more popcorn. I’ve declared that I am finished for this year. Had dinner then worked on Colby’s diamond dotz.
Oh come on pip – Yogi needs a mentor!!!
Rho – so glad Henry is off to his forever home

Heather, I am especially enjoying all your plans to celebrate your birthday because I remember how my mother had refused to acknowledge her birthdays for years, and then when her 70th birthday came and went and nobody acknowledged it, she was sad and angry. You are already having fun and the day isn't here yet.
Rho, your BF is like my husband wanting attention and wanting to talk about significant things right in the middle of my morning routine. He is especially good at starting a meaningful conversation when I have my coat on ready to walk out the door with the dogs.
Bessie is her old self today and will go back to eating regular food tomorrow morning. She went on several long walks today.

Machka Do you know about "Tile" for finding stuff? I consider myself as a highly organized person but, I frequently misplace my phone (((hugs to you)))
Hugs to all!
Rho
No, I don't know about the "Tile" for finding stuff. What is that?
At the moment I go through the "usual places" with him:
Is it in a pocket? Pants? Jacket?
Is it in one of your bags?
Did you put it on top of your dresser (which is covered in stuff) or in your night stand?
Is it in the car?
Is it in the couch cushions?
We went through all of that and he told me it wasn't in any of those places. So I was starting at the top again going through every single pocket in the place when he dug a little deeper in his sofa and found it.
I have to be organised for the both of us as much as I can, but he's tricky because no sooner have I sighted everything and figure I know where it all is, then he moves something into a "better" place.

Our family still lives there. Tragic event which we felt as if we still lived there. The kids still have friends in town. A wonderful place to have raised our kids!

Cheri The FitDesk is very cool. I bought one when they first came out (and paid a lot more than what they sell for now). I love mine and hope yours works out for you. P.S. Love your name - it was my mother's name and it's not heard often
Hugs to all!

My "real" name is Chery Ann. Named after a tugboat in a popular TV series back in the day. I have actually met several other Cheryl Ann's!
Waterfront is an American syndicated television drama series that starred Preston Foster as a harbor tug captain of the Cheryl Ann that was filmed, in part, at Los Angeles Harbor in 1954-1955 by Roland Reed Productions, Inc., for the Ziv Company.
Been called Cheri since childhood. I never believed my parents when they first told me I was named after a tugbut!

Guys are funny . . . By that I mean, they are sometimes simply oblivious (not that I am ever oblivious ;-)
Today, I had planned to work on my garage clean up project. Coat on, hand on the door knob, my BF asks where something in the kitchen belongs. So I answer. As I close the door, I feel it tugging in the other direction. It's my BF, again asking where a kitchen item belongs. Sensing another question may come, I stood outside the door. Yep! Different item / same question. That happened a 4th time, before he asks "Are you going somewhere?" Instead of answering, I asked him what he was doing . . . He had decided to remove everything out of the kitchen cupboards and drawers, clean them, then arrange everything back again. But he (obviously) couldn't recall where a number of items went, so I stepped back inside and told him no, I wasn't going out. I just needed a breath of fresh air.
I never got to the garage today. I stayed inside, cleaned up old emails, looked through books and magazines needing to be tossed, etc. while BF finished the kitchen, cleaned the bathroom and did the laundry. Same routine with the questions. Never interrupt a man doing domestic chores, right????

Good morning everyone!
I SLEPT 8 HOURS LAST NIGHT!
That hardly ever happens. Went to sleep early for me -10 pm, before DH came up.
My son had already gone up.
He is off home today on the train from Hove. I will give him a piece of my apple and cinnamon cake for the journey. It is delicious - more like a dessert in texture.
It has been lovely to see him. He seems very happy with his girlfriend, but I do worry about his financial security. Which is zilch. Oh well. He knows he needs to get fit again, so I hope he will get to grips with that. He was slightly out of breath even walking back from the station! He loves cycling, so that will help.
The important thing is, he is not suffering from crippling anxiety and depression at the moment. He even seems to enjoy living with his girlfriend's teenage children!
I will try to get up there before Christmas.
My task for today is to make a start on the packing! Just a start. I will lay out the suitcases and stuff in the spare room and look at it. :laugh:
The freezer is coming this morning. Plus some other bits.
Might get in a run if the freezer arrives on time.
I came in on maintenance calories yesterday, because I cut back in the evening. Miracle! Now I am starving at 6.45 am.
Love to all, Heather UK xxxxxxx8 -
Rho - you asked about the cruise route. Here it is. The no1 next to Copenhagen and Oslo means we have two days there.

He has limited short term memory so he loses things ... sometimes important things.
He tinkers with stuff because he still has some capabilities, but he's not always sure what he's doing, and of course limited short term memory means he forgets what I might have told him.
Onward ho!

Machka: I feel your pain. Around here there is a daily treasure hunt for my good knife, DH's comb (there are currently 3 of them in hiding), the cat's leash and who-knows-what-else. Ironically, he used to be the neat-freak who had impecable standards for order. Today he has very poor ability to read, and there is not enough mental bandwidth for him to learn anything new. So, I have to available to change the channel on TV, make a cup of coffee, and answer phone calls. Now my mantra is "don't sweat the small stuff, and it's ALL small stuff". Huge hugs and waves of energy to you.
Weather could not be prettier and it's expected to stay mild all week. Hoping to get the boys out for a quick overnight in the mountains where the trees are beginning to change color. Make it a great week, friends. We can do this.

"Huge hugs and waves of energy to you." ... and to you too!
I also hope you get out for that overnight in the mountains ... sounds lovely!

Interesting! That could be useful.2 -
Rho – like your story about BF organizing and cleaning. I would view it that your plan was not meant to be that day, but you supported his efforts, so it was a win! I would credit him for trying.
Heather UK – glad your son is finding his way. Our children are always a worry. My youngest has been working through issues of depression, etc., but seems to be doing well. Started going to counseling this year, which is helping him. I just try to support him and listen, mainly want to make sure he knows the door is always open.
Scale down nicely this morning – into the area I think I am going to consider maintenance. Nice to be back under 140lbs for the first time in 35 years. I joke that I finally have all of my baby weight off (which is true). Now to stay stead on the path.
Have a good day all,
Ginny in Ohio
