Computer Problems

I don't know when I will be back.

It is inevitable that a computer will do this.

For the past few weeks I have hardly been able to visit blogs because of the "slow" processing. Yesterday a little pop up in my task bar told me I was out of virtual memory. (Same thing is happening in my own processor!)

I'm hoping this will not be too time or dollar consuming.

See you on the other side of whatever.

Don't you just hate that? Have you scanned for spyware? Sometimes it will clog things up.

Oh no! I haven't visited in forever and I find out your machine's gone loopy! Try clearing out all of the temporary (cache) files and maybe uploading photos to online storage then deleting them. We have to do that from time to time with our old clunker.


Sure have missed you, been so darned busy. Best wishes for a wonderful day!

Click on the start button, choose run and type MSCONFIG, click on startup tab and disable all items y clicking disable all button, restart computer, download windows defender from microsoft.com if you don't already have it and run a scan. This should help. You probably also need more RAM.

I have also been having problems getting into some blogs so I'm wondering if I might have a similar problem to you just waiting to strike. See you soon I hope!

Sounds like the problems I’ve been having with MY laptop lately. I’ve been moving files to my external hard drive and dumping stuph like crazy from the laptop hoping to free up memory so I don’t have to buy a new computer I can’t afford with an operating system I don’t want (Vista). I hope your problems can be resolved quickly and inexpensively.
Hugs and blessings,

Oh NO! I am so sorry you have had such issues...I will keep my fingers and toes crossed that it is a quick fix and one that does not cost too much!
You will be missed 'round here!

Love,
Sue

An Old Cold Spot

Image
My brother Mike emailed me this photo last night.  He said this was a goodbye salute that he snapped today in his garage where this old freezer has been chugging away since 1988.  That was the year our mama decided she was tired of bending over and digging through it.  Besides, she no longer needed the capacity and hadn't for several years. Mike and my sister-in-law  spent the next 25 years "digging" through this old freezer.  My sis-in-law was very good at keeping it and the cupboards stocked.  The two of them kept promising each other that "It is going to die soon, so we will just keep it until that day." Twenty-five years may seem like a very long life for a freezer.  It is MUCH older than that. Sears only sold Coldspot through 1976.  I thought that my parent's purchased this freezer in the sixties.  My brother said he put the serial number 'on-line' and it matched a 1953 manufacturing date.   Here is a close up of the make and model that

Apparitions in my Garden

Karmyn is the host of Fun Monday this week with a subject that is near and dear to her heart. Not to mention her knees and fingers. But I mentioned them anyway. The subject? --- What's Growing In Your Garden. As soon as I signed up I grabbed my camera and headed out the back door. Alyssum, lady's mantle, gaillardia, Jupiter beard, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember is blooming in this photo. We didn't put as many annuals in this year so I miss all the yellows and reds that we often enjoy. But, something else showed up in that surprised me. Can it be that my yard is haunted? Cheeky little ghost! A shot from the deck near the hammock shows off some ornamental grass, petunias, pond plants ... and that bold apparitio

Bird Voyeur

The sweet little digital camera that the hubby purchased (after I dropped our old one) has encouraged me to do a little more walking. Last week I took it with me when I walked up the "creek" path, which doubles for joggers and bikers as well. I've seen beavers, mink, deer, birds, birds, birds, and once the tail end of a bear run running away through the brush. Of course, without a camera. Now I carry it often. This time I was watching the Belted King Fisher performing an acrobatic display and chattering at the ducks and geese in his fishing territory. I was zooming in on him in a tree across the water when I spotted what I thought was a huge wasp or hornet nest very high in the tree. (Thanks to Susan for bringing up bee's today.) The heavy binoculars were at home, so I continued to try to see it through my camera. Then, a weird movement caught my eye. What I thought was a giant paper wasp nest was really a Great Blue Heron sleeping on one leg with his head ben
