What I like about Opera so far: You can turn off the news feed and advertising in the settings. That gets just about all of them and makes the browser mighty fast when loading. The settings are extensive, so you can select just what you want. There is a built-in VPN you can use, but I think most of the new browsers are including one.

Meanwhile, I do not see Opera listed in the approved MS11 in S mode apps section which is annoying because it seems perfect for me on my laptop. I frowned a little when Microsoft's firewall told me Opera may not be secure and did I really want to download it? I will check on the ratings from independent sources- not that I trust MS to be totally honest there. I am investigating a couple of programs which will allow you to "sidecar" the .apk files for programs that otherwise can't run on Wndows11 in S mode. Most or all of those will be Android based I think.

I'm just up and Jim is asleep on the sofa so I'm not turning on any lights yet.  I'm typing by touch so please ignore any mistakes.

PATRICIA, the other places that have flooding is from storms.  I've forgotten where they are but I saw one on here and another one on the TV.

AMY, I agree that planting the same thing twice doesn't make much sense and it also uses ups energy!  Nice you have a new trug and a sweetie pie for a husband!

I'm not sure what's on the agenda.  Cindy is already on line doing accounting for her customers!  I sure hope they appreciate all the work she does for them.  Even though they pay her, they get EXTRA-special attention from her.

I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

Good morning; cool and cloudy here at 39 degrees, our overnight low.

I see Lloyd has posted again in the Tell us about yourself forum.

Amy, No one here plants anything outside until Memorial Day on the 31st. Many will start growing in greenhouses once it starts warming.

I'm considering looking for some new plants for my two higher shelves. I'm handicapped by the state's ban on outside seeds or plants because of fears about introducing alien critters or other undesirables. A few years back, People were importing these reddish-purple decorative trees, and the state banned them, cut them all down, and hauled them away.

I'm sorry, Phyllis, you have a problem with no answers. I'm only glad they aren't able to live this far north.

No one is doing that much as it's still in the late sixties or early seventies during the day, and all the rivers are running high with either localized or low area flooding. Since many further north towns and villages depend on the rivers for highways, hunting, and fishing, it's quiet, with many freight cancellations.

Joanne, Microsoft warns against using anything they don't own or control. I'm kept busy deleting Cortana, Alexis, and One Drive, so they turn around and make it impossible to delete them. You are still stuck with a Microsoft system even if you use another browser. What frustrates me is I keep deleting private stuff on One Drive, turn around, and it's back on.

The same with Google recording your every key stoke and saving it for sale to the highest bidder, all the while using antivirus to keep others from doing the same. There is a reason Google is termed spyware in security circles.

I'd go to Apple, except it's an entirely new system with its methods, and many of my hobbies and pursuits don't work with their systems.

Amy, I would love a yard and garden but can no longer care for one. I no longer use my balcony because the new ones have five-foot walls, so you only see the sky unless you walk over to the glass. Any plants left outside wouldn't last long due to low available light. Plus, no drainage was built in, so if it rains or snows, that moisture stays until it evaporates. It still has dirt on the floor from the workers putting them in last year.

Edit; after taking so long to post, I see we've climbed to 44 degrees and have another weather alert. I think I'll go look at Amy's photos instead of another alert.

  Good to see you Lloyd, hope you can  find your way back.

Frost tonight so the tender morning glory plants have been covered up.

Patricia , would a shelf help or be more of a hindrance to put plants on.

Reporting in with no new news. Did get a photo of an eastern bluebird today that lost it's way migrating. They live in MO in summer but first time I've seen one here, sent it to Bubble just now on one my doctor schedules are on.

Had couple doctor appointments, no changes & I did mention this is not a life and I do have choices. I know each of them got the point but the surgeon holds all the cards & don't see him until next week.

 


Amy

Good morning..

All the rain they called for fizzeled......just hope it unloaded on areas of forest fires.

Not a lot going on  if bugs will let me may play in the garden, if not then work in the house. I do have a bug jacket but really dislike wearing it.

My friend and I were to go to the city for her check up but she has come down with a cold. She will make an appointment for another day.

Jane, I hope you didn't catch the cold that Jim has.

Patricia, had a chuckle of Farrahs grazing..

Shirley, love your photo! We do have the bluebirds here but not many in this area.

Better get at the day..

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  This is going to be a quickie because Cindy has a plan for the day and I have to be ready to join it by the time she is ready to leave her "office"!

AMY, I had a short cold.  Just some sniffles and a little clogging but I took something for it right away and it didn't hang around long!

We've been having rain and cooler weather here for the past week.  It didn't stop me from getting my walks in though, Cindy has a machine that I can walk on and I don't get wet or cold while i'm doing it.  It's inside the house!  I'm loving it and I'm sure going to miss it when I go home!

SHIRLEY, it's nice to "see" you on here.  I'm sorry we cant get together face-to-face.  I know I'd love meeting you!  Also, I looked at you little birdie and he looks pretty but very lonely!

I better get busy and get my bills paid before Cindy gets her office work to a point where she can leave it!  I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!  P.S

P.S.  LLOYD, I saw that post and I also remember it.  My grandfather used the same thing when he had a cold!

The Eastern Bluebird is supposed to be our State Bird. But I have never seen one here. Maybe they are "upstate birds".

Thee blue birds are in my yard all the time.  I think they have a nest in my neighbor's tree.  I love seeing them....and hearing them.  Liked your photo, Shirley.

Cloudy and humid today.  Had a lot of rain last night and we needed it.  We did not have the wind damage that areas just north of us had so I pretty much slept through the rain but the lightning woke me up.

Good morning, rain; yesterday afternoon, and those clouds are back today, but we do need it. It's cooler today, but Friday, we should see eighty degrees finally!

There's nothing new here; I got my eye appointment scheduled, and the only one was on July fifth. This will be a general checkup and preparation for my cataract and floaters removal.

Besides being bored in this slow, cooler weather, everyone from the meets and greets society is well. Those who recently sold land would be out preparing it and seeing to their animals. Sitting on their hands is not good when they're used to doing.

My sister, in Idaho, has taken on redoing her house and yard. She had the contractors in to do some of the major work, and now she is doing the basics, resurfacing and or painting walls, redoing counters, and putting in shelves.

When she was sixteen, she had one of those small red Chevy Luves Pickups and refurbished the insides with upholstered red gingham. I remember someone came out and did an article for the paper with pictures, and she hasn't slowed down since then. She is the youngest, ten years younger than me, and surprised my parents.



Amy

Good morning

Working off my tablet as the computer doen want to connect to the internet!
Headint into town to get flowers for the planters then a wee shop,drop off a loaf of bread and head home to work.

Enjoy you day and stay safe.

BUBBLE, I already thanked you over in photos for posting the pictures but all your help and good work deserves another "THANK YOU BUBBLE! From the bottom of my heart!

I also answered your message to get my hugs and kisses while I can!  Who knows!  This could be my last chance!  But I know for a fact that Emma and Mikey will remember me!  And I feel their love!

I also forgot to say "GOOD MORNING" to everyone who comes by today. 

RICK, last summer I had a Bluebird family at my feeder.  I don't know what's there this year.  Frankie and Cathy are keeping it filled while I'm not there!  But they're not there enough to observe the visitors!

I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

Jane, I also enjoyed your photos and being able to put names to faces. However, one photo struck me as odd.

JaneS

Which one, Patricia did you think was "odd"?

Good Night Everyfriend!  We're going to be off to the haystacks early around here.  I'm still on PA time and that makes it an hour later for me than for everyone else. 

JIM's back on his feet and feeling lots better.  He was the cook for dinner tonight and it was GOOD!  I even managed to close my eyes a while to rest them from trying to read a book in regular print.  I don't have a problem with large print books but the regular print slows me down.  I borrowed this one from my daughter Christy's husband.  It's about Northern soldiers in Southern prison camp and it was written by the prisoners themselves.  It's not fiction: it's the real stuff! 

I guess I better get done what I have to do before it's time to head for the haystack.  I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow!  God Bless!

Good morning...

Will try and put some of the garden in today, I cut the seed potatoes up to dry out a bit and if they aready they will go in the ground today. We have a fellow coming to pick up his try he ordered last year later on today.

Jane, good to hear Jim is feeling much better.

Patricia,are your trees leafing out? Do you have lilacs there?  Soon we will have the scent of lilac when sitting out or when I am in the garden.

Better put an egg in my boot and beat it.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Jane, that sounds like it might be the Andersonville prison near Ft. Sumter. Nasty piece of business that was. Of about 43,000 POW's around 13,000 died. I still have it somewhere among the books I downloaded from Project Gutenberg. I assume your Hubby is reading a newer, more comprehensive account. If it was written post 2018, it will likely include the archeological dig results from that time period. I know that they were in the process of doing work at the site and at some point, discovered a spring that had some significance regarding the health of the prisoners. If I remember correctly, it was from that spring they got their water, but it was downslope of a confederate barracks which polluted the prisoner's water source and contributed to the horrific condition of the prisoners.

JaneS

Good Morning Everyfriend!  It's thundering and pouring rain here this morning and it's supposed to last most of the day.  I sure hope it stops in time for Ali to get her flowers ready for market for tomorrow. 

MarsGal, my book is about the Richmond Prison and the prisoners never give up the thought of escaping to the North and making it to the Union lines.  But they are underfed, mistreated and malnourished.It's called "The Great Escape" and described as "A True American Civil War Adventure".  If you're interested, it was written by Douglas Miller.  I'd be interested in the author's name of the one you describe and I bet my SIL would like it too.

AMY, good luck with your taters.  I sure hope you get them in.  I'm going to have to hit the Farmers Market at home and stock up on my canned taters this year.  I hope I'm not missing all the beets!  My beet relish is down to the last two jars!

I better get on my horse and get some stuff done.  The boys are being dropped off here about 10 and my services will be needed.  And even if they werent needed, I'd want to play!

I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!
