Going into on again off again panic mode yesterday after finding myself unable to install Windows 10 on the Mrs. new SSD drive, thinking some BIOS setting I changed totally messed things up, only to find later that the biggest issue was my Windows 10 loaded thumb drive that I used a few weeks...

After giving it some thought, and considerable input from the Mrs and our son, I have decided to just sit tight. Given our housing situation, we can't afford to ruffle any feathers, much as the current situation sucks. This morning, I did suggest to the property management that they simply...

This one has been building up for awhile. Back in mid October, our building's Elevator was shut down for refurbishment. The original time frame for completion was 6 weeks. At the time, we joked there was no way it would get done THAT fast. Fast forward to last night, when we received yet...

Decades ago in a sales training course, we were taught about allowing for a minimum of personal space. To my recall, this is about 3 to 4 feet, or an arm's length, which to me seems reasonable. CHEERS! :)

The Big Bang Theory elevator scenario has been on my mind a lot, these days! 😂 Kidding aside, it has been pretty brutal. I ended up getting an ECG last month, as I feared I might have been experiencing symptoms that occur before a heart attack. It turns out this was most likely due to left side...

No functioning elevator in our building since 3 months ago yesterday. :( This past October 16th, the elevator in our building was shut down for the purpose of refurbishment as part of the now almost 2 year long building renovations. Last month, right before Christmas, we got a notice...

Oh my! I'm so glad you're doing better, Terry! Hope your ability to walk comes back to you, soon!! CHEERS! :)

The Mrs being denied her bivalent shot yesterday at the Western Fair Building because their reuqired wait time after contracting covid is now apparently 6 months (News to me!) instead of 3? Then, how come when I called a pharmacy afterward and told them our full situation, they said she could...

My new Reloadable CC just arrived in the mail, today. Why is it that CC companies now insist on making the strip portion where your signature has to be written be anything BUT quick dry? The first part of my signature got smudged to the point that I had to try and rewrite it, and now it just...

Some news articles and the other Blu-ray Forum are also increasingly annoying with the latter constantly spitting out obstructive video ads, often times with NO "x" whatsoever! :angry:

I'm so glad you're feeling better, Jerry! :) CHEERS! :)

That last bit just gave me a much needed chuckle, Josh! Your family background sounds really awesome! :) CHEERS! :)

Paulina Porizkova was married to the late Ric Ocasek of The Cars. She was also the young lady who suffers a nervous breakdown in their 1984 music video "Drive." CHEERS! :)

Malcolm R said: Unplug the power cord. If it still comes on, then you'll know it's a ghost. 👻 Did someone accidentally turn on the on/off timer? Below is from a Toshiba manual, but I don't know it it applies exactly to your set. Unplugging the power cord didn't work? :unsure:

Sounds like a bug to me.

The current "trend" of correctly spelled words being underlined in red. I've found the only way to get rid of this, is by clicking on the end of the underlined word and hitting the space bar once, which means also having to backspace once after that. This drives me nucking futs!!

Also, TV shows that have the split screen end credits except for the final episode that closes out the season!

Take and enjoy those moments when you can get them! :) CHEERS! :)

We're going to be out of our apartment for most of next week, due to necessary asbestos removal happening on our floor! We're staying in a hotel within the city most of the week, but have about a 6 hour gap between 11 AM Friday checkout and being able to reenter our building after 5 PM, when...

One thing I like about our LCD screen is I never have to worry about burn in. In over 9.5 years, it has never been an issue! I do realize there is some negative trade-off that accompanies this, such as LCD not being considered the ideal image replication format. CHEERS! :)

We're in the midst of preparing for a much needed multi phase/apartment building renovation that's scheduled to begin next week. The single most painful part for us is due to long term safety concerns, all of the balconies, including ours, that was very much a sanity saver for our household...

Agreed. A lengthy strike just when COVID is (hopefully) winding down would not have been a good look. CHEERS! :)

Suspension based over the counter medication with the thin not so easy to remove foil tops that have to be punctured, which leaves awkward tears. Like, even why?

That's just weird!

At least it was low cal. ;) That's seriously a new one on me! How can you have a burger without the meat, or even that beyond meat concoction? :P

Not counting SNL, there are 3, at present. CHEERS! :)

The aspect of the Olympics I find annoying at present, is no new Episodes of my favorite current shows for a full 2 weeks. 😬

Since I very rarely buy any titles anymore, for me that aspect is no longer an issue. CHEERS! :)

I've long since abandoned alphabetizing titles, and you've just reminded me of the number 1 reason I don't miss this activity. Those that start with "The" and "A/An" are the worst culprits. CHEERS! :)

This article does mention areas and places where you're most likely to find a payphone: As of last year when the above article was written, there was still an estimated 100,000 payphones in use within the U.S. CHEERS! :)
