I appreciate the advice, will probably get a plug-in device to transfer disc files to the new Mac.

Well it’s a problem that isn’t really that bad. Just costs something to fix. So I decided that I can bypass the whole drive cloning thing by ordering a drive bay to replace the dvd drive and then I also ordered a usb dvd drive to solve replacing the other one. Then I can just use my old laptop drive in the new laptop and update it to work better for the new laptop. Then I’ll have 3 operating systems on the same laptop for a while. It also makes cloning later easier. Then I’ll be able to change main drives and do that. Then put back the original dvd drive and presto! Sounds complicated I know. It’s actually the least complicated way of getting it done in the least bit of time. So I’ll have all my previous settings on my new laptop right away. Saves me time just not money. 

 

I had my coffee earlier and I ran a lot of errands. Still have a lot to do though. I’m trying to tackle a pest problem because of the neighbor which is a major project.

 

 I’m also realizing that participation in pride this week is probably not going to happen just because of all the variables. My order of a cute hat and sweatshirt is going to be too late and I can’t even afford to get foundation in time. It is what it is. And I’ll most likely have to work on the 12th. But I can still get to the clinic today or tomorrow so there’s that.

Josie Beth, you are such a busy girl and smart about IT stuff, I am such a dope about it myself. Is a neighbor giving you a hard time?

Not really, just a slob. He doesn’t take his trash out until it is horrid and  that attracts pests. Then two of them are feeding a flea bitten cat. The guy right next door is actually letting it crawl in the screen door to eat so of course the fleas try to come over here sometimes. I’m taking measures to seal all the cracks everywhere to close out anything from coming from next door and sprayed a lot of ortho around. It’s working so far. I just don’t like all the chemicals. Luckily I don’t have to sit around it all day. I just can’t believe that there was a huge gaping hole in the wall underneath the vanity in the bathroom. I don’t care if the rental agency doesn’t like that I sealed it off, they weren’t doing anything about it. They can complain about it after I move. They probably won’t even notice though. 

 

I think I finally found a solution for my old laptop drive being stuck in fallback mode though. I just have to figure out where I can work on it and have an internet connection. It’s actually a simpler fix than I thought. Some people have suggested doing all these roundabout things that don’t work but hopefully the idea I found this morning does the trick. My order from amazon should arrive this weekend with enough time to get it working right. Then I’ll finally be able to do some graphic design and get some merch worked on. That seems to be the only way I’ll make more money for moving and not be so dependent on temporary work.

You'll probably be happier when you can afford to move. I have a redneck neighbor across the street from me with no sense of pride of ownership. Junk out in front we have to look at 24/7. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts, give us some updates as you proceed ahead with things.

Debra Michelle - Hug!

So sorry you went through that and that you face still more upcoming stress from possibly giving testimony!

Hang in there. Courage, lady!

And of course, a morning coffee mug lifted in a toast to your bravery in dealing with the assault.

Sorry this happened Debra. There are some nasty people in the world. Let's hope they put him where he belongs.

Feel better soon.

I always seem to be having computer issues. I've build a couple of PCs before and just finished with a Dell r710 which I love. I just love Dell components as they are typically very high quality and easy to replace.

Today having a coffee before heading off to the office. Overcast and chilly here now. Have my Therapist appointment this afternoon which is something I always look forward too.

Hope everyone has an amazing day.

Samantha

Debra it was a nasty experience, soon you and the other women can put it in your rear view mirrors and get on with your lives while your assailant spends his coming years fearful of being brutalized in the prison system, it would be fitting!

 

Have a great day Samantha!

Coffee this morning on a dreary, overcast day.

But sunshine predicted for the day, so I'm hoping to get some photos of the fall colors while "at peak" this year. Had a brief afternoon bout of light and shot a few frames yesterday, but haven't looked them over yet because I'm still working on a drawing.

I've turned out to be a busy little beaver here lately!

Hugs to all!

Wishing you all a bright, happy day!

Coffee in my mug, wind howling around outside, we're predicted to have a Nor'easter.

Should be an interesting day.

Hugs.

Good Friday evening.  We took our boat on a shakedown cruse last week.  Boy did we shake it down.  The tired old engine had enough and died about a third of the way home.  I got towed another third only to find out the engine couldn't be repaired.  we talked about what to do and did we want to put more money into it or scrap it.  Decided to keep it so we are converting it from and inboard engine to outboard.  while that isn't ideal, it is a lessor cost solution.  I finally got it back home today, 5 days later than the plan.  I am going away for the rest of October so I'll be getting home with a lot of work ahead of me.  Any idea of an extended trip early next year is out.

Hi Willow, fairly new here. It's never fun when old equipment puts a crimp in your plans and pocketbook like that. Seems like you have a can-do attitude about how to get it handled, hats off to you Miss!

Sorry to hear this Willow.  But at least you had a back up plan, despite its desirability.  Enjoy the rest of the month.

Sorry to hear that. Work and illness can be quite a depressing combination.

 

Sitting here drinking my elevenses, athough I see the clock is showing twelve so I had better get on LOL. Have a good weekend everyone!

Willow, sorry to hear about your nautical problems. Is this a sailboat or motor cruiser? (Not to be nosy, but I have a sailboat which does modestly well with an outboard.)

Krisvm, from the standpoint of someone retired, work seems like its own form of illness. Hope things are better.

For me, I have my studio here in Maine all packed up, getting ready for the long, scenic drive back to the Ozarks. Hopefully I'll get a chance to sightsee along the way, but I have to return for doctor follow-ups with oncology et al.

I'm likely to not be posting for the next week or 10 days, but I wanted to wish everyone a pleasant week and hopes for a better tomorrow. Hugs to all.

      Well said.    Although this so-called Project 2025 will not affect me directly in an immediate sense, it sends a signal to equivalent minded people and political parties around the world that it is okay to exclude minorities and indeed, to persecute them.   In my humble opinion, the far-right politicians know damn well that there is a very large cohort of less-than-intelligent people out there who are not capable of critical thinking and believe every skerrick of dog-whistling, fearmongering, "they're-out-there-to-get-you" rhetoric. Pander to their rural and village attitudes and you're on a winner!    Correcting them with logic and science won't work; they just double down and get louder with their petulance on full display.

      Just waking up so I'm in my pajamas - blue/white madras shorts, a navy blue t-shirt and my sleep bra with sleep-rated breast forms.   Thank you @Susan R for telling us about your mastectomy bra and forms fitting experience before your BA surgery and how sleeping in the bra/forms helped with the dysphoria.    First, hearing about your courage to get fitted gave me the confidence and courage to go out in public.   And, second, finding sleep mastectomy bras and sleep-rated breast forms (I found a set on eBay for a good price) has been a tremendous boost to my feeling comfortable in my pajamas and nightgowns and tamping down my dysphoria and dysmorphia.

      Germany has more castles than there are McDonald's in the United States. Yep, you heard that right. Germany is estimated to have 25,000 castles, and there are around 13,000 McDonald's locations in America.   In Washington state, there's a real-life law stating it's illegal to kill bigfoot and other sasquatch-like creatures.

      DREAD f you’re anticipating something positive, you’re probably motivated to summon all your patience to wait for it—and sometimes for extended time periods. It may be counter-intuitive, yet in certain instances such waiting can itself be gratifying. Consider Carly Simon’s song “Anticipation,” the old Heinz ketchup ads, and—especially—recent research pointing in the opposite direction as regards awaiting something highly aversive. In this post I won’t be reviewing ketchup commercials, but I will be exploring some intriguing research on dread-infused anticipation.

      So an update from me.   Had my endo appointment last night. Went very well and they are sending 3 months supply of estrogen (estradoil patches) and the anti-androgens whilst my Dr gets a shared care agreement sorted out. So happy, should start HRT tomorrow!! Cost for the 3 month supply is £70 total for me, so not too bad. Not told my parents about this yet, but them being in spain, not sure they need to know yet.   Can't wait to start, just got to think about where to put the patches now and wait for the changes...

      Good Morning    well it’s Friday for most, pay day for some.  For me it’s pay day but not Friday.  I work the same opening shift tomorrow.  I typically have Friday on Saturday and Monday on Tuesday.     @KymmieL it does sound like your shop has an issue and you are smack in the thick of it.  The new gal or guy often is.  We have an issue with new people not getting fully trained before being turned loose on customers.  Some struggle through it and some quit because of it.  I try to get them working with customers as quickly as I can but I stay right with them observing, helping, even jumping in when things are getting backed up to keep the stress down.  Not everything comes up during training so when things do, even later after trying is done, I try to help and explain.  Our ASM feels that once she has you scanning barcodes and taking money she is done training.  Generally, refuses to train me on things that she does, and questions why I’m doing something that she normally handles when I’ve been told to do it as part of my advancement training.     She and the cashier involved both keep trying to toss the manager under the bus over a hours of work issue and shifts.  I tell her I realize her issues and I’ll work what ever she needs.  Because of that I tend to get a better more consistent schedule.   Well, time to say Happy Trails to you, until we meet again.   Hi ho Silver, away   Willow

      That does get you the 'starting point' for cup size, but manufacturers, style, breast shape, etc... will effect the results.    Step one is of course finding the proper band fit, then figuring out the approximate cup size with the calculations. Of course you need to try on a few styles after that in different cup sizes close to your measured result until you get the perfect fit.    I have bras in a DD that fit just like my bras in DDD both from Torrid but different styles.    I have some DDD's that fit awesome and some that are a bit loose, but I measure a 46G. It's not wonder that 80% of women are wearing them wrong bra.
