Okay, I uninstalled Chrome, am now using IE, and lost ALL of my passwords. ALL of them! I even lost half of my favorites on the favorite bar- Rats, Drats, Dang and then some. I feel like crying- I hate this. Really hate it. I spent HOURS setting norton up to safe and protect my passwords, and now I have to read how to do it all over again. time to shut this stupid computer down and go read a book or three. Bye

So I just uninstall Chrome, then install Explorer? Or install explorer and it will override Chrome?

I lost my favorite computer to a stinking virus by depending on a Free program. Lost absolutely everything that was stored in it too - That is why we now have Norton.

What is an example of an add-on in chrome? Firefox made my computer crash- won't go there AGAIN. We have a line coming in from outside- courtesy of the phone company. Then we have these wireless things, plugged into the electrical outlet and then plugged into the Ethernet plug at the back of the computer. Isn't 4G/3G on an iPhone?

Actually I stomp my feet, huff & snort, then I close out everything on the computer, turn the monitor off and read a book. Used to have real hissy fits - but my blood pressure is already high, don't need to make it worse. Husband recently added a surround sound and Blu Ray to our home, had quite the time getting everything to work. He even returned our wireless thingies from the Phone company (where we get our internet from) claiming they were defective. They were not. My computer is one of three in the house. When the one we use for a tv (big screen, internet watching, etc.) has problems, mine seldom if ever does. Hubbies personal computer in his den only has problems when he updates his MetaStock stuff. He forgets to tick on the Custom, and he ends up with a desktop full of advertising crap.

Have lots of memory-

I use a iHome mouse the itty bitty one for laptops, etc. My hand just covers it, and I don't get cramps from it. It is wireless (naturally, hence the battery) and the little thingy you plug in is plugged in to the front of my machine, parallel to my mouse. Oh, I also unplugger the little usb thingy, reset the mouse by pushing in the teeny leetle button on the bottom of the mouse carefully with a paper clip end, then plugged it back in, pushed the teeny leetle button again. The mouse works perfectly when I am using Word, Excel or even playing games that are not on the internet.

I run a virus scan- full via Norton every day Have not tried any other browsers, nor uninstalled.

Help, For a bit now I have been having problems navigating some web pages. An example would be, some one posts a link, I go there, and once there, I can not make the page scroll, or even click on another link. Refreshing does not help. Or I click on EReader News Today on my FB page, once at their webpage it either does not come in totally, or I can not scroll. At first I thought my mouse battery was near dead, so put in a new battery. Not the problem, though the battery was low, just not real low. Then I thought I needed to clear the temp internet files/cookies - so did that. Not the problem. Because I don't always turn my pc off - I let it run for weeks at a time before I shut down- I shut it off overnight, then turned it back on - had some updates that downloaded - but again Not the problem. I have Windows 7, Google Chrome. HELP Please.

I heard somewhere that Pres Monson did not go on a mission. -
Mow them when the flowers are yellow, then take a long flat head screwdriver and dig out the root. Toss in the GARBAGE not the compost. Will take about three years to get rid of, unless your neighbors have them and don't tend to them.

Every time I spent my vacations with my older sister, we would take one night just to watch these movies: Fried Green Tomatoes, Steel Magnolias, & Who Framed Roger Rabbit. All of them we had seen together at the theater as first runs. Loved them so much my sister bought them and for the next ten/twenty some years, we watched them.

I don't see it as an insult or a back handed compliment. There are a couple of sisters in my branch that seldom 'clean up'. Meaning their hair is just quick brushed back,no make up at all, their clothes could really use ironing, their shoes are dirty and worn down. Then when they do get a new Hair Do, put on a wee bit of eye brow pencil and lip gloss along with some moisturizer on the face, hands and arms (elbows mostly), iron the dress and wipe the driveway dust off the shoes- well they look like a different person. They also act like a different person. Before anyone takes offense at what I have said, continue on ~ ~ I am talking about myself too. One of the sisters was doing good just to get to church ~ she had three adult daughters with their 2/3 children each, living with her and husband for 8 months. Unfortunately she is not the type of person who makes the adult daughters clean up and do for themselves- so she was worn down to the nub. Her husband (their step-father) finally found them affordable housing and got them moved out of his home. Some of the sisters in the Branch took her to the Salon, she got a shorter cut and all of us sisters donated towards a total spa treatment. She looked like a totally different person- My excuse is I had a low grade infection (tooth) and each month it dragged me further down. To the point where I wasn't taking any of my meds, or insulin. Finally the tooth fell out (un-popped kernel of corn did the job), the infection was exposed, took medicine to clear it up and now I feel like I can conquer the world (pile of ironing at least!) Oh, wait- no comments about ironing ~ I wear cotton and it really does have to be ironed. Can not tolerate fabric that is less than 80% cotton. Garments being the only exception! I also went and got a new Do. A perm (with white, thinning hair that is a tricky one) that is just two steps this side of too tight and "Old Lady Frizzy"- I love it. I get it wet, comb (not brush) it back, then take a pick and fluff. Spray with hair spray, use clear combs to hold the sides back off my ears and I am good to go. I also resurrected the eyebrow pencil and the eyebrow guide- the moisturizer and the lip gloss. Next is to dig out the ironing board and get all of my cotton blouses, skirts and seersucker dresses ironed. To end this long missive; I received those same comments at Church last Sunday. Made my day. Of course, I am an eternal optimist anyway, so I lean to the positive side rather than the negative.

When I worked at the local grocery store after I reactivated into the Church, some of my co-workers were off put. One of the box boys would put sexually explicit papers on my locker door, and would make remarks to me in passing while he bagged groceries for me. I had separated from my husband, was living alone, and had made it crystal clear to not only my co-workers but also my ex's drinking chums that I was not interested in dating. The box boy not only chose me to harass, he did so to two other single female cashiers, all old enough to be his mother. I was the only one who went the legal route to put a stop to it though. First I told my employers husband, then after a week when it did not cease, I went to a lawyer. After that, my faith was always called into question by the owner. I never drank with them, either alcohol, coffee or tea. According to her I was acting Better Than Them. I sat with my co-workers during lunch and breaks, drank soda's , water, juice. I never preached at or to them. I answered their questions the best that I could, mostly I had to table the reply until I found the answer. When the owners father died, and I opted to stay and work during the funeral (as did 4 other co-workers), the boss made my LDS faith the issue. Before ever re-activating my feelings about funerals has always been: If it isn't the funeral/memorial of blood kin, I am not going to it. They are just too depressing for me. I was later fired- the claim was that I was insolent and rude to the customers. The real reason was the boss was threatened because I believed in God and in Jesus Christ. Being LDS/Mormon was not really the issue, she didn't believe in any God based faith. Unfortunately I had no recourse. Karma came back and bit her hard in the pocket book. Six years later she and her siblings sold the store, only to have the buyers strip the place and leave them hanging in the wind within a year of the purchase. They lost the land, building and business. The other local grocery store got it at auction for back taxes! After moving to Arizona, my co-workers there knew more about the LDS faith, though they were not members. Not drinking coffee/tea or alcohol with them was not a problem. They easily accommodated me with soda, water or juice at the Christmas luncheon, and at Staff Luncheons. Only had one male working there and he would no more utter a curse word than the females I worked with. There was also a dress code. Tops must be modest, with cap sleeves as the shortest the sleeves could be. It was casual wear most of the time, though if you wanted to wear a Sunday-Go-To-Meeting dress that was fine, as long as your shoulders were covered and the neckline didn't plunge to the navel. One of my co-workers was rather inquisitive about LDS Doctrines etc., I gave her a Book of Mormon, Pearl of Great Price and D&C that I got from the Missionaries. Don't know how far she took it. Where she lived she would be attending at the Stake Center, I was attending in a Meeting House a mile away. I do know that she quit attending the church she had been going to. I was downsized, and she and her hubby retired and moved to Ohio. I have always been open regarding my faith. If I don't have the answers, I will get them. If they aren't patient enough to wait, then I don't sweat it. If they have a problem with me not "socializing" with them, that is their problem, not mine. If there is too much cursing, then when I leave, I tell them why I am leaving: Will not be around the profanity. In Arizona there was only one employee who cursed. Young female in her mid twenties. She worked part time with us and full time at a local sports bar. She had a Tavern mouth and mentality. I never had to say a word, the owner (female) made it well known that she could talk that way while she was working in the Tavern, but when she stepped into the office, the language was to be cleaned up and the clothing appropriate.

Being diabetic the mood swings and flashes most definitely are from that. 170 is almost decent considering you started at 450. You will want to keep it at 90-100. If you can go to a Diabetic clinic- where they teach you what to eat, how to read the ingredients on packaged foods, how your body disperses the nutrients - go! The ones I have gone to are three day affairs, about 4 hours each. Also if it is available to you, get yourself a Diabetic Concealer/Nurse Practitioner. Where I am living now, none is available to me, and I am having a hard time keeping on tract. Each time I eat something sweet ~ candy bar, slice of cake or a cookie, pudding, jello, ANY thing that has sugar/high fructose in it, within 10 minutes I have the hot flash/sweats. Sweat dripping off my hairline, down my spine. Ick-Ick, Icky. Also if my sugars are not below 120 any exertion causes me to have copious sweating. And to have yeast infections. If you haven't had your menses in a year, then you are in menopause.

Home sprouted garbanzo beans, mung beans, radish seeds, alfalfa seeds. Canned black beans, kidney beans. When you sprout your own beans, you are adding more nutrients, protein and dietary fiber. As for Chia seeds, add them to your smoothies. They have no taste, no calories, no carbs. They enhance what ever flavor they are added to, and they fill you up. They are super high in Omega3's too. Wonderful, beautiful, delish Chia seeds. From the store - nearly any raw vegetable. Jicama, snow peas, green onions, radishes, broccoli, cauliflower, avocado, canned pickled beets, hard cooked egg. Cucumber, zuchinni (green & yellow), red onions, etc., etc. Just imagine a buffet salad bar- Leave the iceburg lettuce at the store and go with fresh spinach, leafy green and red lettuce and the 'gourmet' garden greens. Garbanzo's only take about 16 hours to sprout and they can easily be digested raw. The other beans (pinto, navy, lima, kidney, adzuki, anaszi, great northern) all have to be cooked after they have sprouted. Again, beans will sprout in 12 hours of soaking. Drain the soak water, water your outside plants with it rather than dump it down the drain. Rinse, and then cook the beans in twice the amount of water. Once they are cooked tender, you can drain, chill and add them to salads, soups, stews, stir frys, etc. Try a variety of dressings at the same time. Put a tablespoon of each dressing in a small dish, then dip your fork in the dressing, then pick up a bit of salad. You get a taste of the dressing, without drenching your salad.

Organization of only a Nursery and Sunbeam class
Iggy replied to mimsy85's topic in Primary Discussion
Consult with the Stake Primary Presidency. We have been a Branch for 25 years- and our primary has never been more than 12 kids total. The only time the numbers swell is when the summer vacation people arrive, and they are only here for one Sunday. So every Sunday during the summer we have new people visiting. -
I am marrying my non-member friends at their wedding
Iggy replied to Zombocom's topic in Marriage and Relationship Advice
Wouldn't the state he is in have to license him to do this? When our Branch President married Hubby and I, he not only had the authority of the LDS Church he also was licensed by the County of _____________, in the state of Oregon. No one else in the Church, excepting my Stake President, could marry us. Any one at the Courthouse who was licensed could have. The Justice of The Peace in my city could have. -
Get in to see the Dentist quickly- pain for a few days is normal, and it should have decreased dramatically as each day passed. Does your breath smell? If it does then you could also have an infection. I, too, procrastinate when it comes to seeing a Dentist. I much prefer to be totally unconscious when ANY work is done in my mouth. And very few dentists will do that. I am also fed up with the fact that I lose a tooth or three every year or three. Don't have many left now, and all I want is to have the remaining ones removed and get dentures. The ones remaining are the ones that once had fillings- the fillings are gone, some of the teeth have chipped- what a mess. The tooth that hurts now is the one that had a filling, which was done 37 years ago, fall out. BUT when it requires that many Ibuprofen, then it is time to get back to the Dentist. For the toothache pain I am now experiencing (one tooth) I am taking plain aspirin- not Ibuprofen, or Aleve, or Vicodin.

I really enjoy giving talks- most especially when I am given 2 or more weeks to prepare. I do read mine though. I start my talk with: I have prepared my talk, pulling quotes, facts and scriptures from various LDS approved sources- yet to keep myself on track, and to not veer into a 30 minute lecture, I will be reading it to you. I really dislike when the speaker says how the Bishop, or a Counselor assigned the talk. I do, however like when the topic is stated at the beginning. I dislike when the talk is read, word for word from the Ensign or a General Conference Talk. One year I gave a talk about Mother's on Mother's Day and then the next month gave a talk about Father's on Father's Day. With each one I talked about mortal mother's & father's rather than Spiritual Mother's and Heavenly Father.

Her own car insurance should cover that.

And my older sister! She only buys tops that have round necks and no fru-fru's on the the font. If, during lunch she drips/spills on her top, then she can turn it around front to back and no one is the wiser. Oh, she always wears a sweater or light jacket- it is always chilly at her desk at work!
