Friday

I feel sometimes I am living in an alien environment.  About half the people I see around here are wearing masks ---- residents, visitors, housekeepers and nurses.  My next door neighbor just got home from the hospital in Jackson this afternoon after a bout with the flu and pneumonia, and wearing a mask.  It reminds me of Steven King's book "The Stand".

When I was teaching kindergarten, every year about in February, I would clean out whatever we had in the sand table, and fill it with water.  I added a lot of Dawn detergent and glycerin, and the kids used whatever we could find to make bubbles.  My classroom maybe had the messiest floor in school, but my kids had the cleanest hands in school.  I'm quite sure that helped prevent sickness.  I remember a few fathers who used to come early to pick up their kids so they could play in the bubble table

Back to cooking school, I guess.  I ate one bowl of the soup I made today, and threw the rest of it out.  Nasty stuff!  I'm thinking along the lines of a peanut butter sandwich.
 
 
 
Yes, I love beer jokes.

I have a love/hate relationship with computers.  I was through with Microsoft when they came out with Windows 8.  Now Yahoo is screwing around with me.  I had Yahoo set up as  my home page, with everything I wanted right there in front of me - the news sources I like, the weather in places I chose, the scores I wanted to see, etc.  Now Yahoo has a "new and improved page" and if I continue to use it, I will have to start from scratch.  It thinks I live in Kalispell,  and you know what?  I don't give a hoot what the weather is in Kalispell!

That kind of P.O.s me.
They put up a page and make it sound like you need to CLICK in this spot, and when you do the whole thing changes to a different HOME PAGE. And you spend the next couple of hours trying to get the things you wanted back again.
I didn't know how many times I have deleted GO0GLE CHROME. At least it is setting at the bottom of page out of the way, but still lurking, just waiting to cause trouble.

It is so frustrating. Hotmail has done a few 'updates' in the past - like hiding the 'log out' button and not telling you where it is.

Was that Nancy that had pneumonia?

Maybe you should go to the next resident meeting & suggest a bubble table! Sounds like a fun idea to me!
