Hiya BetterMost friends!!!!




I hope everyone is doing well!

So, would it be fair to say it's really a computer with a flat-screen monitor?


Yes, that's what I've gotten!

I have it connected, but I haven't used it yet.   :laugh:

I have a friend who is a tech guy by profession.  He recommended a certain security/virus protection, and I had just renewed it at the beginning of the year.  I contacted him and asked if there was a way to transfer it to my new computer, and he said there was, and he can help me with that, so I'm waiting on his help for that.  I don't want to use the computer until this is in place, so I'm still using the current desk top.  Once the security is set up, I can transfer what docs and pics and favorites I want, and then I'm good to go.

Stay-cation will end on Monday morning when the alarm goes off, and I know I'm going to hate hearing it!  :laugh:   I can't complain however,  I managed to get a lot done.   I got the new comp, TV, updated my surge bars, moved some furniture and vacuumed behind them, laundry is put away,  groceries ordered, and I even managed to get my work laptop signed on and went through all my emails.

Yes, one shouldn't use a work laptop while away from work but I hate signing on the first day back from vacation to see over 500 emails that need to be sorted through.  I got that done yesterday, so it's just the ones that need replies that are left.

Again, there's something wrong with the time count on the hard one. It did not take me an hour. I might have to time it myself.

Yes, I remember that, Jeff. 

As for ibuprofen, the over-the-counter dose is 200-400mg up to 1200mg a day; the prescription dose is 600-800mg up to 3200mg a day.

I'm beginning to think that with a doctor's supervision, it can be safe to take a lot more of an OTC medication than the instructions on the label say to use. Right now, as part of the regimen to control my chronic urticaria, my dermatologist has me taking five 10-mg generic Zyrtec a day.

 :laugh:

Not my best day, to say the least, starting with placing the Smithsonian guy before the 100 BCE event -- not that I actually thought that but I spaced out. The other mistakes, however, were guesses gone awry.
