  1. Area 51 is infamous for being affiliated with aliens but I believe there's way more on the big screen than there's ever been at the secret military base.👽
  2. Believe what you want, and know what you know, but don't tell me anything different, cause I'll tell you where to go, so with that being said and hopefully sunk into your head, have a wonderful day, as it's time to rest my head.
  3. I hope that deleting your email trash file helps you free up space and stops your annoying Google messages. I'm a bit anal, I trash email files daily, also delete unnecessary screenshots and photos I took as a reference to remind, such as store items or prices. None of those practices seem to mattered. Disabling the cloud was the ticket to my freedom.
  4. I'm glad it worked out well for you, Carl. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, so the saying goes. He had the procedure done before, he's just not looking forward to having it again.
  5. I had the same thing with my Gmail and photos, so I starting deleting as much as possible, even things I really didn't want to delete. As you, the sales pitch was constant with the threat of still running out of space. I grew very tired of the BS, and once I turned of the cloud I had no more issues. So big deal things aren't backed up. I'm not living in a virtual world. You can always have your photos transferred onto a cd or simply printed. Yes, technology can have it's perks but it also has it's downfalls. I still prefer the old camera and film combo although the phone is convenient.
  6. All is well and good per the Gastroenterologist. The previous blood work showed no signs of a thyroid problem. But it looks like someone is overdue for everyone's favorite, the colonoscopy..🫣
  7. I believe I'm good to go, if not I'll have my go to tech guru educate this tech less numbskull on what he needs to do.. Thank God for smartypants grandchildren..
  8. Figures in a diorama can add a touch of realism and a sense of action or movement when strategically placed in situational positions.
  9. Abandoned outbuildings surrounded by decaying vehicles with all their rusted glory makes for picture perfect scenes depicted in a model diorama.
  10. Congratulations to you and the misses, Carl...
  11. "That is preposterous" said Molly when she was told little Billy designed a car that could fly and generate it's own power source from the sun by the time he graduated 5th grade.
  12. Today my brother had two doctors appointments. First one was concerning his prostate results, more detailed than the phone call he received earlier last week. The MRI he had on the 10th showed two spots on the outside of the capsule and were both 3.6 on a 1 to 5 scale, not a 5 as he thought he was told. He will need a biopsy to determine if they are malignant or benign. He was also told that more than likely if it's malignant they'll use radiation to treat it. The next appointment was with the cardiovascular vascular thoracic specialist/surgeon. She confirmed that his right carotid artery definitely has a total occlusion which nothing can be done, but not to worry the body has a way to compensate by suppling blood though veins and capillaries to make up for the blockage. He was also told that his left carotid artery was NOT 15% blocked and was fine. The 15% was a misunderstanding on my brothers part. He has to go back in two years to test again to see if there's any change. So needless to say he's on a high note and I'm more than pleased. Tomorrow is another day and yet another doctors appointment. This appointment is a consultation with a Gastroenterologist to start the process of checking the thyroid since dad had thyroid problems.
  13. I questioned one seller that clearly stated in his description that he only shipped kits with brown paper wrapping. He told me he'd been shipping that way for years with no issues or damage. He also told me that using a box would cost extra. I took his word and let him ship it as he wished, his kit arrived unscathed. A couple of others, not.
  14. Not today, but over the last few months the deer have been coming up into our yard and enjoying the foliage on the many Golden Euonymus Plants in the yard. They've stripped all the small plants down to the main stalks and are slowly working on the larger bushes.
