    I make my own calenders every yr. It has big enough blocks that I can actually write it appointments

    I use the calendar in Outlook for my appointments.  It has the advantage of popping up a reminder at a specified time before the appointment.  A paper calendar does not do that.

    Dana

    I also put them in my iPhone. I get notified the day before and then an hour before

    Sometimes I put something in the calendar in my Samsung Galaxy J3 phone.  Mostly when I'm not home, like when I'm with mom and she's making a new doctor appointment.  Most of the time, I'm at home, though.  And even when I have an appointment, I bring the card in my wallet and enter the info in Outlook when I get home.

    Complaint:

    You ever have one of those days?

    This morning I had a kidney stone attack... I get them and it sucks... This one went (mostly) away after a few hours I have no idea if it moved or went away but it has mostly faded.

    To keep my mind off of the knife in my right side and being that doing any real thinking work is out of the question, I decided to just do some mindless outdoor chores that involve a lot of walking.

    So I decided to pick up some branches and leaves that were lying around out back and dump them on a mulch pile out in the woods... Apparently unbeknownst to me a giant wasp nest was installed in the path to the mulch... I got over a dozen stings, but three are really annoying... One on my stomach, one on my neck and the other next to my achilles tendon.  I can't fully express how much I hate wasps in the first place, let alone how angry that got got me... Not only did they sting me, they continued to go after me over two hundred feet from their nest... They actively were searching for me.

    If they had just stung me and stayed by their nest, I'd have let it go and made it a point to avoid the spot... But being so aggressive to actually continue going after me long after I completely left the area was a bad mistake... There is now a crater where their nest was.

    Then after all that nonsense, I gashed open my thumb on one of my ladders...

    I decided to just call it a day... I'm sitting here in such a foul mood... A dull ache in my side, my thumb is throbbing and I've got a bunch of burning little needles pokes still aggravating me (the one on my leg is really pissing me off).

    Electrical shocks, robots and wasp stings... They just trip my angry adrenaline monster so badly.

    Well... Complaint done... I hope everyone else is having a better day.

    I don't know how anyone could hate wasps...they're so cute..well, not so much that I guess...they give us..nothing really. But when they sting you - hey you know... I hate 'em too! 

    Sorry I spoke before thinking things through. I've been doing that a lot lately. I'm still waiting for that wisdom stuff that's supposed to come with age. indecision

    I still use the calendar in "Microsoft Live Mail-12" on my Windows7 system. I have oodles of events (both recurring or unique) programmed into it.  It's the last in a long line of Microsoft mail programs that I've had to  evolve into over the years.  Unfortunately, despite keeping my dates and letting me request reminders, it no longer keeps its promise to remind me. sad  Which means that I have to (gasp) actually check it manually every day! no  I've researched the Web about this and it seems to be a known problem. cheeky  I've tried downloading and installing a new copy of it but that didn't work and now I can't even find an official version of it online anymore. frown  Lately I've even considered biting the bullet and getting a copy of Microsoft Outlook ($$$). surprise Any suggestions? indecision

    I now worry about that too.  The wash repairman was here Friday.  I was right; timer needs to be replaced.  I can't afford the $300 for that.  Most upsetting is that he discovered the wall plug is arcing.  This house has aluminum wiring and it really needs a complete rewiring.  Now to find a reputable electrician and sell everything in the house so I can pay him.

     

    Aluminum wiring. surprisenoangry   Complete rewiring would be best but at the very least, your electrician should clean each connection in the whole system and make sure the proper aluminum-compatible switches and outlets are being used (if the proper type are even still available)  frown

    It's also going to cost a small fortune to rewire a full house.

    Just cash in a few CDs.  Or sell a yacht or two and just buy a new house in a better neighborhood. indecision  What!??? That's not an option? surprise  How odd.

    This house has aluminum wiring and it really needs a complete rewiring.

    Ugh, Aluminum wiring... That sucks.

    Around here it was used a bit in the early 70s... It's actually illegal to repair it now, you have to replace it with copper if it's found.

    My house is over a hundred years old now, when it was new it actually had gas lighting... Last summer I found a section of wire, probably done in the twenties or very early thirties that was routed though the gas pipe... It had cloth insulation on the wires.

    Scary... I've been good with replacing anything that looks questionable, but that was by far the worst I've seen.

    Good luck with your rewiring.

     

    This house was uilt in 1972. These houses also came with deadly breaker boxes that were banned nationwide.  Luckily my son discovered it over ten years ago and we replaced it.

    @McGyver do you have any powdered meat tenderizer? put some in a spoon with a couple of drops of water then put that on the wasp stings and let it dry ,it will help break down the poisen of the sting

     

    Hmm,   that doesn't sound very logical to me. What chemicals are in a powdered meat tenderiser?   I was always taught to use vinegar or lemon juice, as Wasp stings are alkaline     Bee stings are acidic so they should be treated with baking soda.

    I use laundry bluing for insect stings.  Works like a charm.

    ...crikey sounds like a bad day all right.

    Well at least it wasn't enough to trigger the "Lou Ferrigno" effect where you turn green and all muscular then say, grab parked car and throw it at the wasps' nest (also never understood how the Hulk's shirt, socks, and shoes all shredded but never his pants or BVDs).

    However, am curious about how the area where the wasps' nest was became a crater.

    Me, too!   smiley

    I think I am going to have spaghetti for breakfast.  I am not hungry enough right now to eat it but I will eat it for breakfast.  I had 4 worms for a snack.  Forgot which brand but I got them from the dollar tree candy isle.  I like dollar tree, I think.  Or maybe it is also because my Mum likes dollar tree and we go there a lot.  I think yesterday we went to two dollar trees.  Yep yesterday we went to two dollar trees. I bought a bunch of stuff at one but could not find the item I really wanted there and mum wanted something she could not find at the first one so we went to a second one.  I was going to get a calendar but decided to get the two items I was looking for maybe months or half a year or something.

    My youngest grandson loves going to Dollar Tree, especially with me.  We even got fairy wings to wear to the fairy tea party last year.

    Can you tell I'm procrastinating?  I got Ed's super computer out of the shop and will start setting it up today. He said it was payment for rent.  Hmmm, utility company dpesn't take computers as payment.  He didn't give me the password, so took it to a tech. First I have to get dressed.  Then walk up the hill for cigs.  Maybe a handy 6 of Shiner. That's all I need to set up a computer, right?

    Well   I was the typical teenager,  Folk and rock and roll music etc was all,   Classical stuff was boring, stuffy and only for grown ups.   Then the christmas I was about 14 or 15 we went to my Dad's eldest brother's for Boxing day.  My Uncle was some 12 years older than my Dad, but he was younger at heart.  He was a Electronics whizz kid,  and I am not sure to this day whether it was the swanky HD Stereo music player he had built himself, his choice of music rather than my Dad's tendency to play stuff I couldn't bear, or even maybe that I had been allowed a glass of wine with  the meal for the first time. But I sat their listening to the enigma variations on an LP,  lost in an absolute trance, and only came too when the record finsiehd and all the adults and my big brother were laughing at me.    I still have the LP that I received from My Aunt and Uncle for my 15th birthday. BTW   And my elder brother (who was an apprentice electronics whizz kid in those days) built me my very own record player.
    BTW Uncles Music System was unusual because he built it around 1958. Not a lot of people had stereos in them days  He hadn't been allowed to join the army when War broke out in 1939, as he was involved in research stuff that led to things being invented to use during the war, He worked under the Official Secrets Act, and worked with a guy called Alan Blumlein amongst others.

    That's the guy.   My Uncle died fairly young, in 1979, so before Secrets act limitations were lifted,  so we never di know exactly what he was working on,  but we can make some educated guesses, especially given the Stereo music system that only my uncle could fix.  Nobody else understood it.

    I think I've made up my mind.  If weather permits I'll go tomorrow night for the Debussy and Ravel then after "payday" I'll go to the Spanish night finale on the 21st.  Both nights should be great listening.  Unfortunately, Chautauqua seems to have done away with their "Community Appreciation Night" 50% off ticket prices this year.  So, no $20 concerts. sad

    I think I've made up my mind.  If weather permits I'll go tomorrow night for the Debussy and Ravel then after "payday" I'll go to the Spanish night finale on the 21st.  Both nights should be great listening.  Unfortunately, Chautauqua seems to have done away with their "Community Appreciation Night" 50% off ticket prices this year.  So, no $20 concerts. sad

     

    dont forget the parking pass  smiley

    + Parking pass $9 indecision  If I had a rowboat and a friend with a lakeside cabin & dock I'd row over to Chautauqua to avoid the entry fee and parking,  if I could survive rowing. frown

    Arghhh..., I checked the local "Penny Saver" advertising circular and discovered its a really busy weekend this weekend.  Ellington Town Picnic, Gerry Rodeo, Cataraugus County Fair, Sherman Days, and about 5 excellent looking household sales or auctions all within a 15 mile radius. smileyfrown

    Edited to add:  Oh, I forgot the two biggest event in this area.  The Lucille Ball Festival and the grand opening of the National Comedy Center in Jamestown, NY.  I drove by it this afternoon and the building and grounds are finally finished.  The front of the new building has a grand entrance.  And flush on both sides of the entrance are large billboard sized color digital displays advertising the upcoming events.  I probably won't make it to any of the official opening events but I'll go sometime after the hub-bub dies down.

    I keep leaving my stuff everywhere.  I came home and noticed I do not have my water bottle.  I called GameStop and asked if I left my water bottle there and the friendly Doug said I did.  now I have to remember picking it up tomorrow when I go to work.

    Something seems wrong with Chrome on this computer.  Waterfox is working fine but not Chrome. o.0

    I still use the calendar in "Microsoft Live Mail-12" on my Windows7 system. I have oodles of events (both recurring or unique) programmed into it.  It's the last in a long line of Microsoft mail programs that I've had to  evolve into over the years.  Unfortunately, despite keeping my dates and letting me request reminders, it no longer keeps its promise to remind me. sad  Which means that I have to (gasp) actually check it manually every day! no  I've researched the Web about this and it seems to be a known problem. cheeky  I've tried downloading and installing a new copy of it but that didn't work and now I can't even find an official version of it online anymore. frown  Lately I've even considered biting the bullet and getting a copy of Microsoft Outlook ($$$). surprise Any suggestions? indecision

    I'm still using MS Office 2007.  Couldn't afford updates anymore.  You could try the Open Office or Libre Office, whatever they're calling it these days.
