I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
One thing that was interesting, not long ago I had a bunch of friends and we all were born under the sign of "cancer", it was amazing how much we were alike in the way we think and how shy we all were :) We all were pigeon-toed as kids.
Then I was thinking, when does one get the horoscope sign? At conception plus 9 months? If at conception what if a person was born a month early? I tend to over-think things like that, making me wonder if horoscopes are for real or not.
Two days ago it was 97 degrees
The entry doors are still stuck from the wet weather last month

On a computer keyboard, you can use the following (hold the Alt key down while entering the number code - don't type the dash, just hold down Alt and enter the numbers):
alt-0162 = ¢
alt-248 = ° (degree sign) so you can type 82°
there are many others....
alt-137 = ë
alt-0169 = ©
alt-171 = ½
alt-172 = ¼
alt-14 = ♫
alt-15 = ☼
alt-11 = ♂
alt-12 = ♀
alt-24 = ↑
alt-25 = ↓
alt-26 = →
alt-27 = ←
If you want to find the whole list, just Google "alt codes". :-)
We're in the path of the massive winter storm that is hitting this weekend. I'm in the "ice belt" that is going to cross over most of my state. North of that, heavy snow (like up to 20"), south of the ice belt, heavy rain / flooding / possible tornadoes. For us, it's up to 1" of ice, 2" of snow/sleet mix, high winds, expected power outages, downed trees/limbs, and travel not advised for the next 2 days. Going to be interesting for the next couple of days.
So, MsMadge, I would be hopeless in giving you advise. Computers are so way beyond me... I'm intimidated by it...
2am here and still at 99%
I'm trying not to rely on BIL because fave sis just told me that he's applied for a position in the US Mainland. If they approve his application, he will be leaving this summer. She will be moving with him after she retires from work in March 2019. I have to learn to do these computer stuff on my own because he will no longer be here to troubleshoot it. Her nurse daughter and family are hoping to move to the states, too.
Does Microsoft have an online chat customer service feature?
I have this issue even though I use Mac computer, that I have to subscribe and download Office. It's a pain. I do recall going through a few different problems with the download and eventually had to contact support to get some things straightened out.
My taxes are sign and sealed and now I just have to wait at the post office tomorrow on my lunch break to send them certified
At least everyone is filing on time!
MsMadge, why do we file by certified mail? Even if there is no money enclosed?
t o r t u r e ......I am not everybody.
My mother had not filed her taxes in several years and was in deep trouble with the IRS when I got involved. It took the CPA forever to get the return done. I mailed it in uncertified only later to learn that the IRS claimed they had not gotten her return and were going to take over her money for what they thought she owed them. They gave us a deadline to have it in by. The CPA made a copy of his work. I signed it as her DPOA and we faxed it in.
I never made that mistake again. She did not end up owing them what they thought and they did not take over her money which was needed to pay the nursing home. Since then, I mail my own return in certified with proof of reception included.
What I find unfair is that my house was finally paid in full in 2017, and this year for Income Tax I couldn't itemize the donations I send out, of which there are many. This year I had to use standard deductions :( Will be pouting for awhile.

I know dH was wrong when he looked it up, and said "Butterfield Way".
Fresno sounds right. Dept. of Treasury sounds off, as no money is enclosed?
Thanks, nearing the end, you all have been so nice with the reminders!
Certified it is!
One look at my forms and they might shred it and go out to lunch.
Progressing nicely here.
I think I have a case of tourettes.
