July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
BCoF:  What does freedom look like? Taste like? Smell like? Sound like? Feel Like? Have fun! Freedom Looks like the stimulus checks that helped us get through during covid--tastes like the ability to decide what I want to buy at the grocery store--smells like fresh cut lawn in the summer when everyone mows their grass--sounds like the grader fixing the dirt road that runs near our house and the bark of my rescue dog when he sees a squirrel in the tree out back--feels real to me when I read the problems other people in the world may be having. Let's face it, people are dying that should be waking up to plant gardens, clean houses, and enjoy the growth of their children. Recently, saw an ad for the elderly to join the army. Wondered what I would have as a job if I joined. Spring is alive with birds and green grass and green showing in the woods out back. Stay safe. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ As for missing Wi-Fi. I sometimes have problems with it when it rains. We have Hughes net with a dish. It is pretty steady but, sometimes it is slow, or the computer does a glitch. Sometimes my browser drops whatever website I'm working in. I have had the computer freeze before I'm finished with a blog or finished paying bills in the bank or finished with whatever. Recently, the bank refused to let me in until I changed something in the browser. It took me two days to figure out I needed to look in Bing and change the pop-up situation. Two days of getting other things done so I could think straight enough to find the problematic situation. Only a few minutes to fix it. I don't spend all day online. So, when I can get time to sit and write or do business, I want it available now. I can be very impatient with tech glitches of any type. I'm the one in the household who has to find the fix. Also having problems with my phone. Been on Mint since late 2021. Before it changed owners. Never had trouble with it until November 2022. Now it drops me all the time and I cannot make calls only texts. Spent several hours in a chat with Mint technical, which they are blaming T-Mobile towers for the problem. After several changes to a different tower and new apn in my phone I still have the same problem. Bothers me that I might not be able to call out when K is not here if I need help. Not only that situation it also bothers me that Mint is recommended with T-Mobile for the elderly on an elderly website, because it has a great price on their plans. K says T-Mobile is overextended on their towers because of the influx of customers. I'm not sure I believe it, maybe paranoia. Nevertheless, I'll probably hang on for awhile, until the right solution shows its' face. Bye for Now. |
