Got up this morning feeling better than I have in several weeks. I think the out of alignment spine was causing more problems than I realized. With this "eye thing" , thinking maybe stroke, and the trip to the ER, and the "no diagnosis" and getting prescribed meds for "no definite reason", I am going to make a concerted effort to do better at going for regular adjustments. I fell asleep last night - granted it was late - and never woke up once before 8 this morning. Most nights I have been waking at least once. I got up and ate some scrambled eggs, have gone through some mail I brought in, and got on here. Need to get some other stuff done. Have some sewing/patching of pants for my son to do. Then I think I will get on some more sorting and packing some books.
It is raining some pretty hard showers. Temps are in the 70's, which is crazy warm. Supposed to drop to the upper 30's tonight. I put my spider plants back out for the rain/watering.... will have to make sure that I bring them in before too late this afternoon. We are forecast to have at least 5 days of sun after this front exits this evening. It is supposed to have some real hard downpours and maybe even a t-storm or 2 this eve. Going to make a miserable Halloween night. Heard some places have postponed it til the weekend. Temps are supposed to drop back to the 50's/30's which really is more normal.
I went on SS and read some of the comments about the change over to the newer version. One thing that did bother me was the person that posted about not being able to access their "saved attachments" anymore. It is rather upsetting to me that the ones doing the upgrades, did not look at that, as an add on , and realize that it was an add on because it was wanted by the people using that site. I don't blame that person from being rather upset over that. They say it isn't in the new version.... well, there are enough IT guru's out there, that there ought to have been a way to put it in. I have a d@#ned hard time finding things as it is, and although I had never utilized that for me, because I am not smart enough to figure out how to do attachments, I have clicked on them many times to read what has been attached. I can imagine that someone who has taken the time to do attachments, and then saved them in a file for themselves to go through them to find things, would be pretty bent out of shape. I realize that there are things that have to be done to make the forums safer to use, but no one ever seems to ask what the actual users like about what they have before a few make the decision to do updates and make changes. And "new improved updates" should be incorporating what the daily users like and use. That is why there are all these experts in computers that write the codes. It seems to me that there needs to be a way to keep what is here, and then just do an overall, "protection" type of update that encapsulates what is here in a safer bubble for protection from some kind of hacker.
Dam, we put fences around our animals, not throw out some of the animals to protect only a few from predators.....why do we have to sacrifice what we find most useful, to save/or even alter a select group of things .... and why didn't anyone ask what they REALLY liked about the old before getting the new? I mean, I can still get a flip phone because I like certain features....I don't "HAVE TO " get a smart phone. There are a few new flip phones made every year for those that don't want to go to a "smart phone".
I am more of a "newbie" than alot of you on here. For the most part I have learned to navigate but even though I am like many "older folks" and don't like change, I can see the value in some things being made safer.... adding some features. But I do not see why things that work have to be discarded in the process. A tractor with hydraulics, and attachments is nice, but sometimes my old Farmall H with just a drawbar, no hydraulics, is just fine for the job.
