    H1ya gu1se. The days 0f typ1ng l1ke a teenaged wannabe hacker are alm0st 0ver. 1'm gett1ng a new deskt0p c0mputer del1vered 0n Fr1day. smiley Then 1'll pr0bably feel chatty aga1n. Yeah, 1 can c0py-paste the v0wels, but 1t takes f0rever. 

    This info is likely "too little, too late, however... if you go to the "Ease of Access Center" in your control panel, there is an onscreen keyboard which you can activate and using your mouse select the letters you want. it will work whether you also use the keyboard, or not.

    hmmm, I activated mine all through mouse clicks.

    Click "Start" (the Windows logo on the task bar) > Select "Control Panel" > Select "Ease of Access Center" > Select "Use the computer without a mouse or keyboard" > Check box beside "Use Onscreen Keyboard" > Click Apply. 

    Once that is activated it will be engaged until you uncheck the box.

    Complaint:  So many of my contemporaries and remembered celebrities and musicians are dropping dead that I'm afraid I'm going to have to learn who the young'ns are. frown  Last time I listened to popular music the Moody Blues were on their eighth album "Octave" and disco was still the rage. indecision

    ...Devo and Talking Heads were about the end of pop music listening for me.

    Complaint:  Arghhhh....crying  Yesterday was Tuesday, one of the two days I allow myself to drive anywhere.  So, while out I did my chores, (trash, drugstore, lunch, laundry, etc.) AND I stopped in at the bank to get some cash.  I hate using ATMs so I always go inside and have friendly banter with the teller d'jour (it's a very small bank) and asked for a cash withdrawal for $100 (my allowance for next month).  I was pretty sure I had about $145 in my checking account so the withdrawal wouldn't cause problems because I knew I'd get my Social Security automatic deposit that night and I'd be "rich" again this morning.  And the teller even checked and said it was OK.  No problem, I got my cash and came on home.  Then I opened my very accurate spreadsheet to enter the withdrawal and discovered that I'd forgotten about a $50 donation check  I'd made to the local fire department.  My spreadsheet very prominently, in red, showed me that my checking account balance was now $1.97 overdrawn. surprisesad OK, no problem, the check had been languishing at the fire department for weeks, what's the chances that they decide to deposit it today? indecision  But just to make sure I didn't get caught with an overdraft, I opened my on-line bank access and transferred $50 from my savings into my checking account.  There, all OK now.  NOT!  This morning I checked my on-line bank access and discovered to my horror that I'd transferred $50 from checking into savings instead,  and that little brain fart cost me $35 in overdraft charges.  Arghhhh... crying   And I was so hoping to stay within budget this month. sad

    Non-complaint:  Being a wild spirit, my lunch yesterday consisted of one "Texas Hot" hotdog with loads of onion, and one "Krautdog" and a big chocolate milkshake and I didn't call my doctor to tell her how bad I'd been. devil

    ...agh, I knew there was someone else. Yes, that was a very sad loss indeed.  I have a number of her items, my most favourite being Skin Builder Pro and Pro3 which she collaborated on with Zev0.

    I struggle   I have to admit.   I miss himself more each day, if that is possible,  and of course I have twice as much housework etc to do,  as he was really good at helping out and he did the jobs that I found difficult due to arthritus.  But I get there, albeit slower than it used to be.

    complaint - Amazon and Facebook Reportedly Had a Secret Data-Sharing Agreement, and It Explains So Much

    https://gizmodo.com/amazon-and-facebook-reportedly-had-a-secret-data-sharin-1831192148

    facebook sharing your friend list.

    Back in 2015, a woman named Imy Santiago wrote an Amazon review of a novel that she had read and liked. Amazon immediately took the review down and told Santiago she had “violated its policies.” Santiago re-read her review, didn’t see anything objectionable about it, so she tried to post it again. “You’re not eligible to review this product,” an Amazon prompt informed her

    i dont know who to commplain to about the lack of affordable senior housing.  Don't know who my congress person is, do i complain straight to Pres. Trump?

    people don't realize we all gonn have our turn in a hospital bed, unless you wanna be shipped straight to a medicaid nursing home, we need to start working on this problem now.  i've also come to realize mentioning disability paints a dollar sign on my forehead, hospital was trying to make  me go to a nursing home.  they call it rehab,when i asked if it was only for a few days, i didn't get an answer, they can decide eo keep you there, if they decide you need more rehab. talking physical rehab, not the alocoholic kind. seems like as long as there's someone to foot the bill, they can do whatever they want to you.  did you know your spouse can have you committed?  looking at legal websites, saw a posted question, asking 'how to commit her husband.

    I keep missing a lot of posts... I come to visit and I'm about to try and make an amusing post (to me... I'm easily amused)...

    But when I catch up reading the previous posts I kinda feel most of what I'm going to write is trivial and stupid... Especially my observations during a visit to an Urgent Care center yesterday.

    Everyone or at least a bunch of folks are having a really crappy time lately.

    I hope that for all of you who are going through a rough time at the moment, that this is short lived and everything gets better soon... I'd try and say that better and wish everyone better times individually, but I'm not good with words at the moment.

    Well... Cheers everyone... Be well.
