Any help for Mac users, please?

Hi All, I havebeen MIA - working has been getting in the way. But I have been thinking of everyone here. Most especially, I am glad to see Val posted. I saw pictures of the storms in Atlanta this past week and was worried about you. Hoping everyone is doing okay...now back under the pile of work...maybe I will emerge…

Hi All, Trying to do this now, in 2017. When I click on the link for the Greasemonkey install above, I get the message that the install was successful, then...nothing. Literally, the web address says <about:blank> I have the script info, I have Greasemonkey installed, and am using Firefox. But...I am not a…

Hi Folks, I am getting bad here...missing saying hi to you folks as regularly as I want. The semester starts next week, and I am not ready to teach. I may be off writing a syllabus or two the next few days... I got a kick out of the items sold on late night TV that we have all bought. I can't remember half of mine. But…

Good Morning, Val, your comment about being "duped" into using the splatter screens reminds me of all the late-night stuff I was duped into buying and trying. When I was awake at night with the babies I would watch TV and order some crazy stuff. If the splatter screen had been on TV then, I am sure I would have bought it!…

Hi Folks, Ed, you have the right idea. I like the idea of the splatter screen, but then wonder about lifting it to move things around in the pan. You may have just come up with your million-dollar idea! Cold here, "real feel" of 3, going tho a real feel of 10 today. I can't believe I am looking forward to 47 and rain on…

Good Morning Folks, I am refusing to look outside yet in case it looks like snow - you know that look, right? Before it snows? Of course, it is still dark, so I would not see anything, so maybe I could take a chance. Ed, your last post about the salad is making me want to cook up some quinoa today to mix with some veggies…

Hi All, I guess it was nice while it lasted...the 50 degree temps, that it. We are back to the frigid cold, so I am back to hibernating. I am happy to say my daughter made it to Boston, then to Doha, Qatar, then (finally) to Bangkok, Thailand. I haven't heard since she got her feet on the Thai ground, but I suppose it is…

Good Morning, Roger, thanks for the NS card info. Yes - they are at the regular $80 for $100 in NS. If I hear anything of another sale, I will tell you. Ed - the Green Hornet...you are really getting into these serials! I imagine they are quite enjoyable to watch. I like the black and white screen much better for these…

Hi Again, Well...the trip for my daughter to Thailand by way of a connection in Doha, Qatar is not off to a good start. The flight out of Phila was cancelled for mechanical problems on the plane (I appreciate the cancellation for that reason!). But she is to be there sometime tomorrow, and all flights are now getting into…

Hi Folks, You all had such healthy and delicious looking and sounding dinners last night. Me? We took our daughter out for a going away dinner to a steak house (her choice) - can't say it was the healthiest thing - too heavy, etc. But I did skip the chocolate cake after! For those who watch QVC, it (apparently) had Marie O…

Hi Folks, The manadrinquats (did I read that correctly?) is an interesting looking/sounding/described fruit. I guess I should start looking around more for some of these interesting fruits. I am kind of "stuck" in a routine. Roger - the pictures get me every time. The threat for spamming everyone brought back slow…

Hi Folks, Had a variation of "ink's law" and "ink's corollary" (courtesy of Roger) here: time but no access to the computer (typically happens when in the shower...), or access, but no time (typically when doing work on the computer). I had to complete grades on the computer - did that, but then didn't get to see you…

Hi Folks, Merry Christmas to everyone! It looks like Santa will have some snow to fly over out west - so he shouldn't be bothered by the warm southern temps. Thank you for the Hanukah wishes. We had the family gathering today - I skipped the potato latkes (potato pancakes deep fried) and the doughnuts (also deep fried). Do…

Hi Folks, Yes, Ed/Eddie/Eduardo (I want to reach all of them!), someone is out there! I guess I completely missed stopping by yesterday. Was doing some last minute errands for the holiday. We have the family Hanukah party tomorrow (Saturday), so I needed to get things finished for that. Hanukah is not a major holiday, but…

Hi folks, It is reading cold outside, but the sun is making me feel it is not as bad as yesterday. I also do not think it is as windy. Roger - your cartoons and other pictures are really funny. What a great way to start the day. Thank you. Val - you have mentioned the Follow you heart cheese before. It sounds like a good…

Hi All, Ed, I would say the casserole looked delicious - but there was nothing to see! That must mean it really was delicious. Val, got it - no dairy in our discussions! Roger, if Costco has protein shakes (premixed or powder) that is probably a great place to get them. I have found Costco very accommodating to take…

Hi All, Val, that is some talented cat doing a selfie! He must have big paws to be able to hold the camera phone and push the button :) . The cakes were delicious, but the daughter left to go back to her apartment mid-day and intended to return for dinner - by then, the roads had re-iced, so she did not make it back. She…

Good Morning Folks, It is a 4-letter "S" day today...SNOW! Like I said...I am hibernating. I have lots of baking to do today. It is Marc's (my husband) birthday dinner with the kids. He turned 65 on Thursday. So I am making the traditional 3-layer birthday cake (his request), but I am also making the chocolate chip sponge…

Good Morning Folks, Roger, thanks for the information on NS orders. If I go that route again, I will definitely contact you so we can do the bonus (referral) discount. I had such a good price before - it does bother me that I gave it up. Then, when combined with the discounted cards from Costco - when at 40% or 50% off...I…

Good Morning All, Roger, I am glad you are able to enjoy the NS products. For good or for bad, I am with Ed on this. Once NS eliminated their own bulletin boards, I lost my motivation and "oomph" with both weight maintenance and NS. Sometime after that I finally stopped my NS ordering - and a really good price. I tried…

Roger, thanks for the humorous photo with the flossers. I have only been trying to prevent/remove plaque. I will have to keep an eye out for the plague too! Val - don't you hate when you write a really long post...and it gets lost somewhere? Not to worry about the gift tag idea. I am sure I can do a search and come up with…

Hi All, Val, the personally imprinted clay medallion name tags sounds really cute - and something folks would appreciate on a gift. Are you creating this on your own or using some kind of kit? That might be fun for me to do for Hanukah gifts. Roger, thanks for the explanation of keeping warm in the frigid cold. I go…

Hi Folks, Val, great name for setting time to put the gifts together - a "rap party." I never heard that expression before. I guess depending on how it is done, it can be fun...or a chore! Roger, I am impressed with all your walking in the cold. I am in hibernation. I go out if absolutely necessary - but that is pretty…

Good Morning, Roger - thanks for the laugh! I hit the NJ Turnpike at least once a week for 1 1/2 hours...and you are probably right about all the rules! Ed, glad to see how Ariel was helping with the bed making. Va - good morning to you. Hope all is well for you in Atl. Take care all...time to do some work before I get too…

Hi Folks, The rain has moved here. As I recall, you folks down south were in need of that rain, yes? So I am glad you finally got it - especially for the TN fires. Nothing new here - except more work. It is piling on. Hmmmm, the last dream I remember was one of my students asking if I had finished grading a major…

Good Morning Folks, Ed, yes, the sugar substitutes can cause...discomfort. I think I have pretty much moved away from them except for small uses of them. I could not imagine a pie or cake baked with a substitute either. Actually, I would rather have a small slice of the real thing than a large piece made with sugar…

As I read this in the morning, pecan pie for breakfast sounds...decadent, Ed. It looks like a winner. Of course, I wondered about the sugar free part of it - until you mentioned making it sugar free in the crus only! Roger, ditto as far as where to live in retirement. Actually, Marc (my husband) is retired. We talk of…

Hi All, Here's hoping Eddie and Eduardo enjoy the meatloaf. I would just be careful about the sodium. It seems that can be pretty high in many pre-made food items. I also have figured out what is happening here. As a professor once told a class I took..."dilatory tactics." In other words, doing anything to avoid what…

Hi All, Glad to say I got out for a nice walk this morning. Temp in the 50s. Great for November. Finally will pull apart the carcass of the turkey breast from T'giving. I know...6 days late! But it is still good, so I think we will be safe. The turkey chili looks like something I could do. I can just imagine something like…
