The cherry loaves sound delicious, judith.

We got about five inches of snow here and there is still some residual at higher elevations. Otherwise, our weather for the next couple of weeks is set to be between 65 and 70 degrees F. Can't complain!

Happy Monday everyone. smile

Good Morning everyone! Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready. wave

We had blizzard conditions yesterday...high winds, drifting snow and around 2 feet of snow fell! It is going to take days to clear the roads...there were power outages...my power went off and on a couple times, but stayed on thank goodness. I will walk down to my neighbor's to take care of the cat this morning.

Hope you all have a good day! wave

Good Tuesday morning. I wondered how you were doing, Gerry. Thankful the power stayed on, but it will be awhile before you can did out! I'm sure kitty will be quite glad to see you! Maybe let another neighbor know before you set out!

Sunny and cold here again - normal. We are going through black oil sunflower seeds for the birds like mad!

Will get my old computer back up and running today - hopefully. I found out a rear fan had died, so I had to replace it yesterday.

Good morning everyone....a cold start this morning at 26 degrees but the temperature is climbing back up to 58 degrees so that's not bad. Glad to hear you still have power Gerry. Good luck with you old computer Draclvr. Enjoying WADDB and bagels. Will be venturing out after lunch for an appointment.

Stay warm everyone wave

Good Morning oldbroad, connie, Draclvr, soot and everyone! Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready. wave

I had to climb over a 4 foot snowbank to get to my neighbor's house to care for the cat! The snow had drifted in their driveway so it was really deep! Their driveway hopefully was plowed late afternoon yesterday so I can get in the driveway this morning. We are getting more snow this morning...up to 3 inches...problem is the icy patches in the driveway will be hidden so it will be tricky walking in the driveway to get to the cat.

My neighbors are flying home late this evening and there are snow showers perdicted when they arrive!

It will take weeks for all the snow to melt...no daffodils to enjoy this spring! cry

It is snowing again right now! winter

Enjoy your day everyone! wave

-3 Celsius and snowy.

Survived the cruise. Though the wallet took a hit. Still worth it.

Happy Wednesday GameBoomers!

Good Wednesday morning. Gerry, what a mess you have... wear some grippy boots and be careful. When I have to care for my friend's cats, it's always in the summer!

A run in town to deposit my brother's farm rent check and make a quick stop at the grocery store is on the agenda today. Need to get gas in my truck too.

Good Morning Fogfighter, connie, soot, Mad, Draclvr and everyone! Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready. wave

We did get 3 more inches of snow yesterday morning making it slippery walking down to feed Pudsey (my neighbor's cat). She was happy to see me. I went back over late afternoon again...hopefully they got home last night...we had freezing rain over night and everything iced up. winter

Temps will be warm today so melting will start slowly...don't expect it to be gone for weeks!

Enjoy your day everyone! wave

Good Thursday morning. Same old here - sunny and cold. Normal. Gerry, hope the temps warm up soon so all that snow and ice can melt away!

Haircut later this morning and then league bowling tonight.

Good morning, everyone.

Stay safe, all of you buried in snow.

We're having unseasonably warm weather right now. I'm doing a walkaround with the landscaper today to pick some trees and shrubs. Now that the pond is fixed, it's looking a bit bare and needs some structure.

My laptop is back for the THIRD time. It was already on when I opened it and...there was yet another error message. And then another. I restarted it several times and finally it seemed to load properly, Of course, now I'm starting with a completely empty computer and have to reinstall all my programs and copy my files back onto the hard drive. Most of that is fine but now I have to reconnect the printer and THAT is a huge problem. I hate this stuff. It stresses me out terribly. I almost feel as though it's time for a desktop instead. Now that I have my spiffy office, I have room for one.


I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

Afternoon everyone; we have a weather warning for snow squalls today (oh yea). Between the weather & my arthritis which is very bad today I decided to down load from amazon for my kindle two Agatha Christie books; ABC murders & And then there were none. They are easy reading for a day like today. Have a great day & stay safe out there.

Good Morning everyone! Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready. wave

Hagatha, I have a desk top...an Apple computer and I love it. Never have had an issue with it. thumbsup

We have had sunny weather and warmer temps that are helping melt the snow, but more snow is expected Sunday. winter

Hope you all enjoy your Friday! spring

Good Morning!

6 Celsius but still plenty of snow and ice on the ground. Better walk carefully.

Happy Friday GameBoomers!

Good morning everyone.

Grrr. The laptop is not sorted. First thing this morning there was an error message and a shutdown. This is getting ridiculous. I'd better start looking for a desktop because clearly Dell's technical staff can't fix this machine.

Nothing on my plate today except another frustrating phone call to Dell. Also, another frustrating call to my internet/email provider; their website won't load, I can't access my email on this computer, and their unhelpful and surly technical "support" means it's time to switch over to Gmail and Telus, which has fibre optic.

Apart from that, though, we're still having nice Spring like weather. I've got three trees coming in March for privacy and colour, and then the garden will be done.

Good Friday afternoon. Didn't quite make it to the break room this morning. Plumbers were here to replace a leaking toilet upstairs. Yikes, almost $600 for the toilet and the labor!

Hagatha, I am head over heels with my new desktop! That laptop must be a real lemon... do you just have to accept that they can't fix it or will they give you a refund?

Gerry, did Pudsley's mom and dad make it home?

Hagatha, they could fix but would be 'extra cost' for new components. There were laptops in our organization which were "lemons" and we swapped them out for new laptops and used some parts from the lemons that we tested /knew were functional.

Draclvr, Soot, They didn't charge me for any work they did, but then who knows what they did? The report I got back with the computer had literally no information on what work got done. Obviously, they did a factory reset or reinstalled Windows, but I have no idea what else got done.

I told them that if anything not covered under the warranty came up, they should contact me so I could approve the expense Nobody did, so I assume nothing extra got done.

I do have to accept the laptop's lemon status and I don't mind, as long as the company fixes it. I did an end run around them and phoned their sales department. The nice fellow I talked to in Texas said he knew who to escalate the case to, not one of the tech grunts but a supervisor and he sent me an email confirming our conversation as documentation. Who knows?

I did get my email sorted, though. Now I have to see if I can import my emails into Gmail. I did that with John's webmail account just to see if it works, so I should know by tomorrow or the next day.
