Domestic Goddess: Is this correct, if one would like to post/share a recipe, we do so here?  If so, was searching to see if there were separate recipe categories?

Deedee I had a similar problem with a credit card and ended up closing that account. Now I never use direct deposit or direct  or automatic pay as both have issues I want no part of.

A good Thursday evening to all.

I want to thank all of you for your kind and so appreciated comments about Michele. We all know the power of prayer and once again it has proven so. 

The concern continues for a BIG storm that is headed our way for the next 3 or 4 days.  I was sure hopeful that it would change and not pan out to be what they were fearing. They are saying we could have 14" of snow.....but it remains to be seen if that will pan out or if much of it will be in rain.  My friend is driving to Denver tomorrow from Rock Springd, WY.  I am very worried about her safety.

Pleasant dreams to all.  Sleep well dear friends.

Thanks. It's a shame, but that's probably all we can do about it. Companies take liberties we never dream of when we opt for the convenience of electronic banking.

Incredible.

My insurance company stopped taking credit card payments for the first and second payment options. Now, if you don't want to pay quarterly or monthly with the added service fee, you must either use direct debit from the account, your debit card (I don't have one and never will), or good old fashioned check. I have no idea why they changed their payment policy.

It seems to me more and more companies are trying to pressure their customers into using direct payment from your bank account. I am not comfortable giving out my bank account number to any but a very few places (like the IRS).

Faster and quicker, MarsGal. Faster out of your bank account and quicker into theirs. It's all about money, everywhere you look.

Plus, as is the case with Frontier Communications, even though I canceled services? The money had already been debited and now I have to wait (2-3 billing cycles, I was told) for a refund of the money that they shouldn't have been paid.

Good morning everyone

Hi everyone on this Friday morning.  The forecast for today shows we are to stay cloudy and only get up to 70 degrees this afternoon.  I had planned on driving to Madison, Georgia to meet friends for lunch but our plans were changed as three of the six weren't going to be able to attend.  So it is now scheduled for next Friday.  I am glad as am not feeling up to par today.   I do want to get a pedicure this morning as can no longer deal with my toenails and want to avoid having more toenails removed if possible.  Pat and I plan on going to a bar-b-q place we like for a good lunch and then she won't need to worry about fixing dinner tonight.  That will be our exciting day.

Beverly, thanks for your private message and I see I have the same post here twice for yesterday.  I guess I have to chalk it up to my age.  I like that better than just being careless.  :)

Mary Ann, I have found that many of the game sites where Pat purchased games are no longer in business.   Perhaps that is why you are getting the "server not found" screen.

deedee, thanks for providing that phone number for Joy as I didn't see postings below mine yesterday until this morning.  I just added that number to my phone contacts for future reference.  I agree with all the comments about shopping with Amazon and made two separate one item orders yesterday.  I need a new garden hose nozzle for the back of the house and decided to order rather than get it at Lowe's or Walmart.  Both items will be here tomorrow.  We haven't shopped at etsy but will check it out. 

Patricia, I will check the NBC website for the "Little Big Shots" show.  It has been years since I have watched the Tonight Show or Late Show as don't stay up that late anymore.

deAngel, it sounds like the Gala store may be a nice addition to your community. 

Good afternoon Kelly.  Hope you are having a pleasant day.

Kelly

Hi Larry
Mid afternoon here as I write, not long home from a walk.

I might go out later for a meal with friends.

Have a good day

Kelly

Mary Ann

Larry, the "server not found" was not in connection with games but when I first turned on the computer.  It happens my games are on that computer and would not copy to another computer.  So that computer will now be used for games.  I know I won't be able to put new ones there because I can't get online to get any.  When I go online for free games on this computer, the assortments are nothing that I want to play.  I just am not that adventuresome, I guess.

Good Morning Everyone!

Larry I too need to make a trip to get my toenails trimmed.  The lady I used to go to retired and the new person is not very good, well I don't like how they do them.  I have been going to a new place just down the road and just getting the nails trimmed.  Cost a lot less, or did, but the last time they went up on price.

I have been looking in Amazon and Walmart for some electric toenail trimmers.  But there are so many manual trimmers mixed in with the electric you have to really be careful as to what you are looking at.  My old back just will not let me get down low enough to see what I am doing.  And my eyesight doesn't help things.  As some on here have said:  the golden years........ ::)

MaryTX

Mary Ann, have you ever checked into Pogo Games?  They have hundreds of different games from puzzle, word, card, arcade, etc.  You can join for a yearly fee of $39 for ad free playing, but most of the games do have free rooms where you have to listen to ads.

I don't play often much anymore but I have gotten hooked on Mahjong.

If you're interested, I can send you a 7-day guest membership.   Let me know.

Hal, do you go the full route and have a complete pedicure sans the polish? :)

I was bending down with difficulty to do mine also.  When we moved down here, Cathie took me for my first pedicure and I got hooked ;D.   Cathie has been going to the same gal since she moved to Arlington 20 years ago.  I've seen a lot of guys getting pedicures.  I tried to talk Claude into it, but he wouldn't. He equated that to going to a beauty salon and having his hair "styled" :)

Good Afternoon Everyone,
from the Sunny and getting warmer, 
Rocky Coast of Maine.   

I have decided to get rid of cable TV, 
and keep only my phone and my
Internet through the company that
services our building.   

It is a huge decision for me,  but if I
pay attention and organize what I watch
weekly,  I can buy Roku and pretty much
take care of all my needs.     

First I must determine my needs, 
decide how I am going to fill them,   
and then CUT THE CORD!     

I am the only person in my family
that subscribes to cable TV.   
And it is hugely expensive
these days with all the features I get, 
but hardly ever use.   

Wish me Luck ... 

Sandy

MaryTX, I used to.  I went to the lady that my wife used.  I got everything but the nail polish, she still charged for everything....LOL.  She tried talking me into getting the clear polish but I passed.  I enjoyed the foot rub part, as well as getting rid of the long nails. 

Did you all hear that Japan had another big quake this morning?

 :) Good Morning from the Interior!

Larry, with the computer you may watch any television show at any time. I usually awaken between five and seven am and go to bed between ten and twelve pm so rarely feel the need to do more than read in the evenings.

Sandy, you may receive several cable channels through the computer for a monthly or yearly fee. I haven't used it as I rarely see anything interesting. There is also Hulu and Netflix, again with the fee arrangement but I have tried both for the free period and found I was lucky if I watched one show so never finished the trial period.

I received a free Roku from my Internet supplier as a thanks for taking a high speed Internet, but without a television, it sits in its box. I tried returning it but was told to give it away or sell it, (they suggested asking for 200);  so I can't believe it has much value.

MaryAnn, I have several games on my computer that I have downloaded from Microsoft's online  store. I have a 99 level game of Mahjong, different types of Solitaire and Magic Jigsaw puzzles. I also have different types of poker, Chinese checkers, regular checkers, Uno and a few other games I play against the computer or with computerized opponents. I also have three separate Trivia games that send me daily questions through my email. I never go to gaming sites to play against other people for fear of virus and malware.

Good Morning to all I've missed!

Kelly

Hi Sandy
I hardly watch TV, I wonder sometimes could we do without television?

As a lot is repeated these days

Kelly

Mary Ann

MaryTX and Patricia, thanks, but what I want are solitaire and mah johnng.  I do have five or six games I play and I'll leave it at that although I would like my old Bicycle games. 

I am another who needs toenails cut.  Annie does a good job but she's not always available when I need it.

I am using a different computer and so many things on the keyboard are changed; I don't know where anything is!

Mary Ann

angelface555

MaryAnn, Simple Solitaire is free from the store and has enough options for a variety but I usually turn off sounds and scoring and stick to the same cards and background. There are many free solitaire games but this one has everything along with consistent good reviews.

Mahjong solitaire is also free with numerous options but I have purchased the program's complete 99 levels that includes no adverts.

Lindancer

Good afternoon, another beautiful day, but a little more windy.

Hal, I go to a foot doctor for years, he cuts my nails every three months, also takes care of Medical needs, and Medicare pays for it, I pay just $15.

MaryTX I use to have the Pogo games, and I had a problem with my computer, and lost them.

Patricia, I play Hearts about everynight, but I play against the PC. never on line.

MaryAnn, I like Mahjong, also.  I have and old Toshiba Satellite PC, thats about 30 years old, I guess the screen is about 6 inches, but I still have all my RiverBoat games on it. about 50 solitaire games on it. That is in the guest room, so once in a while in the evening, I go in there and play those games, and listen to the radio.

From Shirley on Facebook from the 13th.

We have been on a 6 day bus trip to WashDC. While traveling, Danny wasn't feeling well. Got home & had to call 911 cuz he couldnt even get into the house. He was in the hospital & they found out that he had a stroke & was sent to a Tampa hospital. He will have surgery this morning. Boy, I hate driving in Tampa, but I will be forced to go there this morning. Keep me in your thoughts. I will keep you all updated through facebook, I just don't have the time to write a bunch of emails.

wjoan

Hal, I have not cut my toenails since I was diagnosed with Diabetes..  I just file them down when they start getting long.  Works for me.  Nothing sharp near my feet, don't allow it.  LOL

wjoan

Hal, forgot to mention we have a bus driver <Dial A Ride> here who lets his daughter put nail polish on his toenails.  He says he has had every color in the book.  He also said it doesn't bother him excvept when he wears sandals in the Summer.  I think she is 12 now and has been doing it fgor years.

The time you are showing on your posting is say 11:37  Now this is at my time of 2:47 pm.
Mine is right on for Illinois.  Now where are you?  That is 9 hours different? I thought you were Alaska.  Now it doesn't say if AM or PM. 
JeanneP

angelface555

JeanneP. that was am. I am four hours behind the east coast and two hours behind WJoan in Washington. Twelve hours behind Bubble in Israel and here is a site that may explain it better.

JeanneP

That makes sense.  You are 3 hours behind us in Illinois.  For some reason I figured you would be ahead of us. I talk to NY. Uk . Canada most days so use to them being ahead.

Hi WesterJoan
Since I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, I have to attend a podiatry clinic, as problems with the feet can get worse with diabetes.

Hi Kelly, yes I know this.  Saw a gent here loseboth his legs <one at a time> because his caregiver did not see a little sore start up between his toes.  It was let go and not seen until too late.  Such a tradgedy.

Kelly

Hi WesternJoan
Yes I had heard that happens and it was such a tradegy for this man.

Hi everyone.  It has been a rather long night as woke up at 2 am and wasn't able to go back to sleep.  So a little after 5 am I got up and got cleaned up and dressed for the day, washed my CPAP hose and related equipment that can be washed, unloaded the dishwasher and am now in my office for the morning.  I should get a lot done getting an early start.  We are predicted to get up to 72 sunny degrees this afternoon.  Yesterday Pat and I went to the bar-b-que restaurant for lunch and then drove down to our new Aldi's.  They were busy but there was parking spaces.  It is the nicest Aldi's I have seen, well organized and small enough that you are not exhausted when you finish shopping.  They are going to give the other large grocery stores some competition. 

I expect to have a quiet day today with nothing on the schedule.  I will probably see if I an have a quick nap sometime this morning and will also rest this afternoon.  I did get to feeling better yesterday morning and Pat and I agreed we had enjoyed a very pleasant afternoon.

Kelly, hope you were able to enjoy a nice meal with friends yesterday.  We did have a very nice day as I indicated in my posting above.  Glad you are taking good care of your feet with the diabetes.  I saw what happens when gangrene takes on in a diabetic foot and leg.  My daughter had three amputations in three weeks and it was something to be desired. Do you control your diabetes with diet and medicine?

Hal, I was the first one at the nail place as they had just opened.  I got the same lady that had done the first pedicure I had some months ago and she did a great job.  However, I told her I would pass on the nail polish as wasn't that quite liberated.  :)  I have decided it is money well spent and hopefully will avoid further toenail surgery and it took care of the sore big toe I have been dealing with for awhile.  I saw on the news about the Japan earthquake and after shocks up to a 6 on the Richter Scale, which isn't just a slight tremor.   

Mary, I will bring the Pogo game site to the attention of my wife as she enjoys playing games a lot while listening to her audiobooks or while watching TV. If you have an extra 7-day guest membership I know my wife would appreciate it.  I am thinking about subscribing to a game site for her so she can play some new games as some of the old ones don't seem to like being played using Windows 10. 

Patricia, I find playing a against the computer is challenge enough for me for the few games I play.  I have been playing a lot of Hearts and Solitaire on my Chromebook.  Thanks for sharing the message from Shirley.  That was certainly not a good ending to a bus trip.

Mary Ann, the best solitaire website I have found is the game site that one of the men posted the link to here or on S&F not too long ago.  Here is the link: http://www.netsolitaire.com/
