Personal note: I got sick and very depressed. Was only out of bed for 4 to 6 hours only. So much bad happened in a short period of time that I couldn’t deal. I plan to do a video someday on it. But everything from being on the gurney with iv’s in my hand only to learn they couldn’t do my cataract surgery to the car engine seizing and then the van needing 2 grand in repairs. That was enough but Ron did not measure the placement of the bathroom project water lines, so things did not fit. It all had to be redone and so we changed where things were going. But just as I started to feel better and had more energy I went to fix a problem on my computers. I reset the video one thinking I had the extended updates for a year. But resetting it wiped that out. So for the last few days I have learned about Linux systems and tried to install them. The first one Ubuntu installed but I couldn’t get the line commands to work. The second installed and worked but faulted out. Every attempt to install one since has failed. I am wiping and then reactivating the hard drive to see if that will work. If not I will have to add a new processing chip and or motherboard to the list of things I can’t afford but need. That is why I have not been around much. Best wishes to all and hugs to those that want them.

this is unacceptible and painful

Hi Judy. Yes but what can not be changed must be endured right. I have to find a way to make things work. But how. I am spending all my waking time on the second computer trying to make it work. I guess I will go back to what worked and see about upgrading the computer. I have not gotten much else done. Hugs

Oh, it is so good to hear from you that I’ll take that hug! Thanks for letting us know. We sort of limp along without you, Scottie.

Hi Ali. I admit it was bad. After we got over the worst of the cold / covid / what ever bug I had such depression and fatigue. I would drag myself out of bed at 7:30 0r 8 am. Then by 10:30 or 11 I would go back to bed. Get up 12:30 or 1 pm. Watch TMR report while doing dishes, sit at the computer until Ron made supper and go to bed around 4 or 4:30. I have energy back now but I am super frustrated over the second computer. I guess I will go back to windows and hope I can get a new mother board and processor for it. At least it will let me get back to the comments and posting normally again. Hugs

(I know you generally get up much earlier and it isn’t funny for you, but I did giggle a bit because the past coupla weeks I’ve been dragging myself out of bed between 7:30-8:00, too. I usually get up at 7:30, but I guess the old body was practicing for returning to standard time.) I do hope your energy and spirit are returning. Slow but steady wins the race.

Hi Bruce. Thank you. This is how I feel and the cartoon is spot on. I can’t decide if to give up on Ubuntu and go back to a not updated windows where at least my systems work together? I have cleaner programs and antivirus programs. How important is it that windows stay updated? How much of a pain is it that windows makes you sign on to your Microsoft amount to even use the computer? Eventually I will have to do something anyway. How expensive to have the motherboard and processor changed so it will support Windows 11? I am so frustrated, I have spent a week on this and it is not getting better or easier. Hugs
