Had Computer Issues
Been busy updating my computer when I ran into an issue. I had paid for the Geek Squad when we bought a new Sony TV for our new house in AZ. I took my lap top into them and they sorted through it all , fixed the issue, corrected some other issues I di not know I had, cleaned it up, and it cost me nothing. We used their help with the Sony also via phone. The lady on the other end told us how to fix it.
So I am behind. But back up and running.
Monday found me at the retina Doctor office having my right eye checked out again. Edema or what they call a ripple came back. Not good. So, it was going a month doing eye drops or taking a shot in the right eye which “in theory” would work faster. We shall see. One plus, I am sitting here typing away without wearing glasses.
Halloween brought ~140 costumed kids to our doorstep. We sat outside in the 70 degree temps talking to our neighbors while the children or teens came by. We did the big bar stuff and let them choose. Twix seemed to be favored which surprised me.
I will be putting up a couple of New Deal democrat’s commentaries on the economy. Good reads coming from a guy who knows his stuff. I have a flight pattern of other posts circling. Post them soon. Glad to see you all here. Glad to see those who disagree with us, do so in a polite manner.
Be safe.
They were going to make out lives easier, and paperless
I did the shot for a couple years, mostly cleared it up. Like looking through cellophane now. Can only sit the computer glassless if I wear a patch
Nary a one …
Not sure why it is, but Twix is a firm favorite among the younger members of the family. Kit Kat makes a dark chocolate version, that I sometimes get as a change of pace. The “100 Grand” bar is the one that surprised me most, as they left the tray pretty quickly. Sometimes I imagine it was around when I was a trick-or-treater, but for the life of me can’t remember ever having one. Looked hard through my kids haul and did not see one Mr. Goodbar mini. What happened to my world? Not that they were that good, just those and Krackle minis were sort of the base of the “Halloween candy pyramid” back in the day.
I was only searching out the dreaded candy apple with razor blade. Can’t be too careful.
Ars Technica had an article warning about Halloween USB flash drives containing software that supposedly has Minecraft cheat codes but actually infects dad or mom’s computer with serious malware. It was called the Trick or Treat exploit.
Eric:
We would do so too. Look over the candy and see what we might like. We gave away almost all of our candy bars. They chose what they wanted. The neighbors and us had a lot of fun this year.
Eric:
That razor blade issue goes back to when I was young. My parents were big on wrapped candy.
Unfortunately we never get trick-or-treaters.
I always buy some chocolate bars just in case, and get to eat most of them myself.
I had an expensive time time this year with my two computers, spending about $500 on tech assistance, about 3/4 of which was a waste. Problems with routers, problems with Windows 11, nothing much wrong with the computers as such. There are a lot of people out there willing to take yer money on such matters, and I succumbed. The one true expert in our town says ‘Just stay on Windows 10.’ Where’s the fun in that?
It is said that Windows 12 will be out sometime soon.
Windows 12 will not be a free upgrade
