Jane, I moved your message over here, I think Rick may have the answer for you..

Ever since I came home, my printer won't print. I've checked everything I can think of but so far...nothing! Anyone have an idea?

Rick ,can you help Jane please?

Amy · January 07, 2024, 10:29:29 AM

Snow has been dealt with,light fluffy easy to move. Plus our neighbour dropped his plow and did the mouth of the driveway for us. We are blessed with great neighbours as tomorrow they will look after the dogs for us. .they tease that they are taking them to their house!!

Tea time...

Rick, thank you..

Good morning, it's plus 11, a change from yesterday's minus 18. It looks like the entire month will be like that up and down, with slight snow flurries and ice.

Farrah isn't happy with me as I flipped her food from wet to dry. She was taking four or more days to eat a 5 ounce (189 g) can of wet, so back to dry food, which she also eats grudgingly. She'd prefer a steady diet of treats, but that's not happening.

I was browsing through local real estate when I saw a home with two acres, being featured, that belonged to a friend. He had left to live with a son in South Carolina, after his wife died from Covid-19. I had been to his home multiple times with others through the years, and it was sad to look through all those empty rooms.

Not too much going on here. It's icy, slippery and everyone is staying inside, waiting for winter to pass already.

Amy · January 07, 2024, 06:49:15 PM

Jane, any word on how Craig is doing? Keeping him in my prayers.

JaneS · January 07, 2024, 08:25:21 PM

Hello Everyfriend!

Craig's BP is back to normal but they are still removing water from his ankles and from around his heart and another place that I forgot. They gave him a heart scan today but he won't see the Dr. till tomorrow to see what's next. Thanks for asking, AMY!

I'm all finished with my drops for today! YAY!! And I made one of my SiL's Venison roasts in the crock pot with tomatoes, carrots and sweet taters for supper. I think I have enough for about 4 more supper! I also finished up all my laundry....all the stuff I brought home from my trip and all the stuff I left behind to go on my trip! I didn't have Cooper all weekend because Frankie had the weekend off and she stayed home and in out of the snow. But he'll be her bright and early tomorrow morning.

I still can't get my printer working. I guess I'll have to wait until someone has time to stop over and check up on it and see if everything is connected properly. Everything they suggested in text, I had already tried about 3 times! And everything else is working properly so ...... now what!

I'm going to watch a Perry Mason show and then hit the sack. I need to be up early so I can get on set of eye drops done before Cooper gets here. I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow. Make the day your own in every way!

Tomereader1 · January 07, 2024, 09:10:13 PM

Did you disconnect the cord from the printer to the computer for about 10 minutes, then reconnect. That has worked for me previously.

RAMMEL · January 07, 2024, 09:27:07 PM

When you click on print, make sure the correct printer is selected.

Amy · January 08, 2024, 04:35:26 AM

Good morning..

Off to the city to the hospital for an appointment for Kyle this morning. Don't have to worry about supper tonight as it will be leftovers from last night. If we get home in good time I can make and apple pie and throw it in the oven for dessert. Thankfully no snow is predicted for today.

Jane, bet you are doing the happy dance that the drops are overwith. Hope the drops do what they were intended for.

Better get my city duds on, wheelchair was put in the vehicle last night just have to get our water bottles .

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

JaneS · January 08, 2024, 08:52:01 AM

Good Morning Everyfriend! Cooper arrived at his usual time of 6:45 a.m. and had his breakfast, waited patiently for me to get dressed and then we went for a walk. He doesn't seem to mind walking in the snow but he sure did look hard for some bare grass to use for a potty!

I just had a text from Cathy! Craig is being released from the hospital today! That's all she knows until she gets there and hears the instructions for "what to do" when they get home! He has a twin sister and she must have got all the healthy genes!

I guess I better go and separate the pot roast into dinner size portions and get it read for meals. I'm ready to eat it already! It sure was a good supper!

AMY, have a safe trip to the city and back! I wish Kyle well!

I wish you all a good day! Make it your own in every way!

patricia19 · January 08, 2024, 11:21:42 AM

Good morning from the Interior at plus sixteen and expecting more snow flurries this afternoon. I've finished my chores, fed and watered Farrah and me, plus read the majority of the texts from our meet and greets. Otherwise, it's another day to do what I can and see what I'll put off until tomorrow.

Amy, I hope Kyle's appointment brings good news and easy travel to and from the city. I hope your weather has been free of the rain and storms of the northeastern US. I wish the US were also free of the storms, but this seems to have become winter business as usual for that corridor.

Jane, I'm glad for you, Cathy and Craig, that he's well enough to go home. And that Cooper's back visiting, I'm sure you're glad to see him and settle back into a routine at home. I'm not fond of walking in the snow, either. The only time I enjoyed traveling in snow was when it was by sled.

Here's hoping everyone has a wonderful day as you like it, and I'm off to play catch up on the computer.

Denver · January 08, 2024, 11:53:00 PM

Good evening.

I am still among the living but holding on with all my might😩😩

I finally got the OK today that my spine / neck surgery will be done this coming Wednesday the 10th. I had my physical last Thursday and the way I was feeling I was quite concerned that they would even consider doing it. They said they would call me Monday, today to let me know and thankfully they did all is OK.

I hope that I will soon be feeling better and will be able to join in here more often. I miss you all and your daily going's on🥰🥰🥰

Amy · January 09, 2024, 07:00:55 AM

Good morning...

Yesterday went well. We were on the road at 5:30 am and do you know there is not much traffic at that hour?? That is because most everyone is snuggled down under the covers! I am not a fan of driving in the dark anymore but we did ok. In an out before appointment time,can't beat that!! Now to wait for the results.

Jane and Patricia,thank you ,we did have a safe trip.Even the deer stayed in bed at that hour!!

Today is getting ready for the storm ahead.11+ inches of snow and then rain.I hope I get the snow cleaned away before the rain or it will be too heavy for me to move.

Jane, good news on Craig...lets hope he is on the mend now.

Patricia,are you in for this snack of snow?

Jenny ,all the best on the surgery tomorrow..Good to "see" you in here!

Better get ready to see what the day may bring..

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

JaneS · January 09, 2024, 09:50:04 AM

Good Morning Everyfriend! It's nice to see everyone!

JENNY, I do wish you well with your upcoming surgery! I'll be keeping you in my prayers! I hope it brings you the relief you need and that life is better after.

AMY, good news on your trip. You made it back safely! Bad time of year to be on the road.

Now it's snowing again and I'm thinking that I might have Cooper overnight tonight! Frankie does not like driving on snowy roads. Come to think of it, maybe I'll have her overnight, too. I'm closer to her job that her apartment is!

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

patricia19 · January 09, 2024, 12:37:03 PM

Good morning from an Interior at plus three and more snow. However, we have about 0.02 accumulation and temperatures are to rise again tomorrow. Basically, the same weather pattern we've seen since mid-December but a rarity during January, usually a frigid month.

I've finished all my chores, meet and greets and fed a non enthused Farrah. She's the epitome of picky.

Jenny, I hope that the surgery goes well, and your doctors will be able to resolve that long-standing problem. I'm hoping for less pain and more mobility for you, and will be thinking of you on Wednesday.

Jane, you are certainly getting slammed with the same snow that Amy and Rick will have. I'm hoping that the rain stays away and the forecasted snow will be a lot less than thought.

Enjoy your time with Cooper and perhaps Frankie too.

Amy, stay warm, safe, and hopefully no need for dancing with the snowblower! That's too much snow to have to deal with.

I'm glad yesterday's trip was easy, under the cover of darkness, and hope Kyle's results are good!

I hope everyone here and any of those dropping in, have a wonderful day, as Lloyd says, as you like it.

Amy · January 09, 2024, 04:14:25 PM

The snow is still falling!! I have already had a dance and will likely have another come morning. If I left it till morning and it rains ,there is no way I can move it, this way it is not too bad.....I hope!!

Patricia, I don't mind the dance it is the blowback of the cold snow!! If that is all my problems I should be so lucky. Dogs are happy I did their trails out back for them and goodness knows how they will be come morning.

Jane and Rick is it still snowing there?

RAMMEL · January 09, 2024, 04:19:49 PM

Quote from: Amy on January 09, 2024, 04:14:25 PMJane and Rick is it still snowing there?

Ours is not predicted to be snow, but lots of rain - as it is doing now. Coupled with the melt off of the last snow and today's rain it should bring the usual flooding. Once again I say I'm lucky as I live at the top of the hill.

CallieOK · January 09, 2024, 04:58:42 PM

Good Afternoon,

First of all - Jenny, I wish you Good Luck for a successful surgery (finally!!) and Good Recovery. You've dealt with this for too long!

Has anyone heard from Beverly in Florida? Hope she isn't in the areas that have been hit with damaging tornadoes. My friend in the panhandle says there were two close to her in the wee hours of this morning and she's been without power for about 14 hours.

We're getting "off and on" winter "storms". I opened blinds this morning to see grass covered with snow. Sun has finally come out and it's basically gone but the temperatures are hovering around freezing and wind chill is in the teens. Also saw a flock of robins exploring the yard.
Tomorrow, it's supposed to reach 55 degrees! Another snow/freeze/??? is supposed to come through on Friday/Saturday and a 3rd one the first of next week.

Stay warm and safe, Everyfriend.

JaneS · January 09, 2024, 09:07:17 PM

We got a little more snow and then rain for the rest of the day on top of it so all the roads and driveways were slushy until ther was enough rain and traffic to wash it away. The roads are OK now but there's snow everywhere else.

Craig is home from the hospital but still has lots of water that needs to come out. He has two dr. appts this week and I'm waiting to hear the results.

Cathy was by today and stopped at the store for some things and dropped off milk for me! When Frankie picked up Cooper this afternoon, she also picked up a container of my pot roast to have for her supper and a list and my card for the store tomorrow after work!

Now I'm heading off to the haystack. I've been getting up before the birds these last few days so I can get my first set of eye drops and heat done and have my breakfast before Cooper gets here. Now I'm ready to find a niche in the stack and shove my way in for the night. Morning will come early again tomorrow! I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow. Make it your own day in every way!

RAMMEL · January 09, 2024, 10:01:54 PM

And the rains came ----. Getting real wet around here. The worse of it to be during the night. With that thought I say good night to all that may float in.

Amy · January 10, 2024, 07:15:12 AM

Good morning..

Rained here last night when I let the dogs out for last call. After I cleaned the driveway and yard we did get about another 1 1/2 inches and it can stay there, will make good footing if we do get more rain today.

Will work around home then off this afternoon to get my hair cut.

Rick ,hope there wasn't too much flooding in your area.

Jane, enjoy your time with Cooper..

Callie,I would enjoy your 55° ,we are at 32° at the moment..

Better get ready to meet the day..

Enjoy your day and stay safe..

RAMMEL · January 10, 2024, 09:30:31 AM

Haven't listened to the local news yet but I'm sure we have flooding judging by the sound of the rain during the night. We have a few locations that flood often with less rain. Roads that are adjacent to rivers/streams flood often. Upstream building and more and more runoff don't help.

JaneS · January 10, 2024, 10:20:19 AM

Good Morning Everyfriend! I still don't have a printer and I've tried everything anyone shared with me to try. I think I need someone to sit down in front of the computer and work it out. And it needs to be someone much more competent than I am! Cathy would be a good one but she has her own problems to deal with and I'm not even asking her. Not only is Craig having problems...now she has a bad shoulder!

Maybe I'll call the computer place where I got my last computer and maybe I get a new printer. Maybe it's just worn out and tired like me!

Today, our roads are all clear and a lot of the "yard snow" has disappeared. We're heading for a high of 49 degrees today with light rain later today. So I'm betting that most of the snow will be gone by tomorrow.

I think Cooper missed me while I was away. He's following me around and if I sit down beside him he cuddles up and licks my hand or my nose if it's close enough!

I'm still doing the drops and I'll be glad when that's over. I hope we have nice weather for Valentine's Day weekend. That's when grandson Kyle and his sweetheart, Tori will be having their wedding! And we need to travel to Philadelphia. I sure hope Cathy and Craig are both better by that time because it's their son!

I wish you all a wonderful day! Make it your own in every way! Do what suits you best!

patricia19 · January 10, 2024, 01:49:37 PM

Good morning from the Interior at minus four on this January tenth in the Interior.

I think I've gone through the bulk of emails, downloads and putting everything to rights on this laptop. Now, I'm in the midst of going through and making sure duplicates are deleted and everything is where it needs to be.

If I hadn't invested in my external drives and if I hadn't been working on old cleanups when the computer died, I would have had to start over from scratch. The repair folks said it was worn out and couldn't be fixed. I highly recommend external drives and that they aren't connected to your computer when not in use.

Jane, I wish we lived closer, as I have a printer from four years ago that has never been used. It was given to me, and my arthritic hands aren't capable of dealing with removing and inserting those ink cartridges in tight spaces.

We won't have any flooding until everything thaws in the Spring and all that mountain snow melts into the closer five rivers. The main cause is when the ice goes out, it often jams and the buildup behind floods the river villages and small towns.

Amy, I would enjoy your plus 32! We received another 0.02 inches yesterday, and with the forecasted seesaw between plus and minuses, we probably won't see that much more.

JaneS · January 10, 2024, 09:04:26 PM

PATRICIA, thanks for the thoughts about the printer!

I'm just stopping by to say....

GOOD NIGHT EVERYFRIEND! I'm heading for the haystack! I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow!

JaneS · January 11, 2024, 07:18:43 AM

Good Morning to myself and anyone else who stops by! Have a good day!

Amy · January 11, 2024, 07:26:10 AM

Good morning

Work around home today. Yesterday after getting my hair cut I thought I would try and clean up some wet snow only to find out the neighbour came and dropped his plow and did it!

My computer is having fits at the moment, not sure what is wrong .

Enjoy your day and stay safe

patricia19 · January 11, 2024, 10:02:40 AM

Good morning, minus five, clear and chill in the Interior.

I'm still integrating my computer and each time I think I'm done or close enough, I find something else stuck in a corner.

Amy · January 11, 2024, 11:01:25 AM

Snowing again here.....guess I should be thankful it is not rain. Have a big pot of chicken noodle soup cooking on the back of the stove .

Jane ,just a thought, what if you unplugged your printer,take it out of your computer and reinstalled everything as if it was a new one?? I know I am shooting at stars here.but worth a try..
