Let's talk about...Anything!

Have you ever done reverse trick or treating? 

I tried that this year.  It's when you dress up in a Halloween costume and take a basket of goodies around to people you know.  You ring the door bell and when they open the door......

You ask them to choose a treat.  I like to do this with my adult friends who are usually pleasantly surprised.   

How fun!! Never heard of this one, but it sounds so nice.

I think out of all the clothes out there, I like jeans the best.  They aren’t seasonal and they go with anything.

Agreed. You ever notice how we all have a that favorite pair of jeans? I hate when they are in the wash.

Complaint: Where did October and November go? I am not prepared to be approaching Thanksgiving!!

I can't believe it is almost a new year.

I love the cord wraps by Dotz!  Not only do they keep the cords tidy but they are also labeled so no more trying to figure out what wire goes to what electronic.

I hate Microsoft 10.  I had windows 7 on my machine and lately the sound has been muted even when I didn’t hit the mute button so I figured all I had to do was update the sound drivers.  Well when I went to do the update it wasn’t an update.  It was ‘no updates for 7 anymore here’s 10.’  I figured I had no choice and upgraded to 10.  That’s when I lost ¾ of all my programs.  They either had to be reinstalled or reactivated (which in itself was pain because I had to scramble around to find the activation codes).  Every time I clicked on one of my programs, it either wouldn’t work or ‘claimed’ to be open so i couldn’t open it again.

I know it was free, but why did Microsoft feel the need to shove Windows 10 into people’s faces?  Why don’t they take into consideration it’s a SYSTEMS program which means it affects everything on the computer!  People use more than just Microsoft programs—which are the only thing I found so far that works without a reinstall.  I loved Windows XP.  I still think it’s the best systems program they created.  Vista was the worst.  7 I enjoyed the second best.  That’s what I had until Microsoft stopped doing updates and did an upgrade instead. I’ve been stuck switching from 7 to 10 and found that most of my programs when I try to open them, don’t work.  10 didn’t erase anything but my programs act like it’s a whole new computer and it was never installed before.  My itunes icon and library was still there but I couldn’t access them.  I had to acknowledge the computer had access to my library (thanks Apple for allowing more than one computer on an account).  My Magix programs and my Nero programs (which I have several) all had to be reactivated.  My audio cleaner didn’t even work.  I had to by the latest version an install it.  I lost a bunch of games like Medieval Sims—which EA just said to delete it from the computer and reinstall it from their account.  I did and it still wouldn’t go.  I even lost Norton.  Thankfully I always get the one for multiple machines.  I had to delete all traces of Norton then ‘re’ install Norton to get it to work.  Just been a pain these past couple of weeks trying to get all my programs to work off 10 that did run perfectly on 7.

I usually make my own Christmas gift tags because either the ones sold are too big or just not my taste.  I usually use the Avery Design Pro 5 to make the labels.  When Microsoft upgraded my system from 7 to 10 I couldn’t get the Avery Design pro 5 to print aligned.  On the label sheet it literally printed crooked (though it printed straight and aligned if I stuck in a regular piece of paper).  So, I downloaded the Avery Tab into Word.  I then transferred the pics I used from Design Pro into the Word Avery Tab and printed.  It worked.  If I just raised the top margin up to about a .04 or .03 rather than leaving it at the .05, it would have been perfect.  The left and right margins fell right into the label.

I’m really getting frustrated with Windows 10.  It seems to be killing any program that either Microsoft gives you their version of (like since it give you CyberLink Power DVD 10 it kills Corel WinDVD, which is what I always used) or it kills the programs that can be integrated into Microsoft (like it kills Design Pro because you can download Avery Wizard into Word so you don’t need the separate program.)

Just bought a cheap set of nail brushes and dotters (well most nail sets are cheap).  I’ve been following easy nail painting tutorials off YouTube and with a steady hand my nails look almost professional.  I have to say it’s much cheaper (if you have the time and patience) to do it yourself then constantly go to a nail salon.
