Interesting article. Do you know if the "one in 68 in the United States" holds true around the world, gabriele?
 

Good morning.

Some of these March days have been quite windy where I live.  Kite flying weather.   




I saw a great video of an older guy doing magical things with 3 kites - set to music.  I'll try to post it later.

A quick good morning, everyone.

I used the "recovery" feature of Windows to go back 5 days and restore the computer to that time.
It solved ALL the problems  

It coincided with an attempted installation...I kind of think it had to do with Windows 10.  They keep trying to "foist" it upon me and I do not want to switch.   Not yet anyway.

Anyway, all is well.


Here is a tweet from Kym that made me smile this morning:  Let the wedding planning begin!

View, what problems were you having? My computer just automatically upgraded to Windows 10, and every once in a while the screen just goes to blue, with just the cursor visible. I can't get it to respond at all. Then I manually turn off the computer, and it's all set again.

Vmmmom, 

I wonder if this is the best way to show you what was happening to my computer.  I took a picture of the screen with my camera at a couple of points...thinking I would stop in to visit with the geeks and show them what was going on and maybe get some advice - no cost.

Then I remembered how "recovering" back to a certain date can restore your computer to when it was working fine.  The "critical update" of a windows installation is the date I chose to go back to. 

But here is one of the screen pictures I snapped. It just wouldn't run in the normal mode - I had to start it in Safe Mode, but there are many things you cannot do in Safe.


 

CEK, hope you get at least some of your 1000000000 things done 

I'm down to a mere 1000000 things as I get ready to be away.  Taxes finally done, and haven't heard that we owe any additional...fingers crossed.  

Flood wise, we intend to have the front yard landscaped and sodded this spring/summer, the garage painted, the house re-painted (it peeled badly...apparently we should have waited longer after its "submersion" than 16 months!) Also, after having only the functional type of window treatment in the living room up to this point (that is, pleated cellular shades, mini blinds) I am hoping to get the lovely semi-sheer floor length curtains on decorative traverse rods that I've been pining for for 4 years. 

$$$ though.
