Oldiesmann: Finally got the AmazonBot situation under control. I basically changed some server settings to tell AmazonBot that it's not allowed to access anything on the site. That should fix the speed issues we've been experiencing lately

Good morning everyone,

Great to see you posting Ciaobella! I enjoyed reading your posts. I too can relate to feeling the tech lag. I started using computers when I was 10. My father would take me to his office. The computer banks took up one entire wall of the air conditioned room, had magnetic reel to reel tapes and punch cards! LOL. I still crack open ours and repair (replace modules) when sonething goes wrong. I hate software upgrades. They mess with my organization and remove files that someone else has designated as "not important" just because I haven't used them lately. Think repair manuals.  :tickedoff:

I used to do lots of holiday baking and candy making. I don't have the space anymore. I liked spritz, frosted sugar cookies, gingerbread people, Russian tea cakes, gingersnaps, cheese cake marbled brownies, English toffee, and fudge. Its a good thing I don't make them anymre. If I make them, I eat them. 🤭

Marilyne, I'm still in the pasture. Ron got a virus. He was pretty sick. I am feeling better out here. I'm farther from the road, so less fumes. Its quieter. It was actually 67°F here yesterday! Thats never happened sinced we moved here. Its typically in the upper 20°s in December. I did see a report about unusual heat in the western US, talking about H.A.A.R.P. a couple days ago. I didn't give it much credence until we got to 67°. I smashed 2 carpenter ants that crawled out of the crevices yesterday.

Still carding, spinning and knitting. I'm working on the sleeves now. I'd almost finished the first one when I realized the color was a shade too light. I'm working from a silver grey fleece. The color varies. The light in here isn't real good until afternoon. Thats when I saw the difference. So I've stopped knitting and am carding and spinning for a closer match. I'll rip that sleeve out and begin again.

Ron tells me gas is $3.50 a gallon here. In Texas he paid $2.50/gallon. I saw a report that its projected to drop to near a dollar/gallon by spring!

Thats about all I've got today.
