@geezerette : Had trouble signing in and can't give hearts.

I looked at my iPad case and wasn't upside down. Will research later for another case maybe next pay day or just deal with it .
Needed to have the central air serviced on Saturday .Friday night was struggling to come on. Temperature in the house was 80. We turned the power off for a few minutes and made several steps to hopefully reset everything. Saturday morning temperature in the house was 77 and system struggling to come on. Had to replace the capacitor $288. Service guy told me to call next week to schedule service for central heat ( stated separate call and couldn't be done today), because he was the only one on call.Told him needed to wait for another pay day and next priority was my eye surgery before scheduling anything else.

My air purifier in the kitchen needed a new hepa filter and no longer available and I was using a generic filter and anything available was expensive.Need the air purifier in the kitchen because the vent is on the bottom of my microwave that is installed over the cook top. This vent is very small and not that great for cooking odors.

Thankfully that Amazon prime deals wasn't over, and researched a lot. Decided needed air purifier to cover more space and hepa filter to last longer than a few months. DH was helping me research because he is very sensitive to kitchen cooking odors. We decided on the Shark Air Purifier because the hepa filter last 5 years. They say that things happen in a cycle of 3. We have been on this cycle for several months and more than ready to break this cycle. But that's life.

In between everything else  was able to start decluttering and reorganizing my middle room and 1/2 completed. I am in my recliner resting . Wasn't able to cook anything for today and ordered pizza. I am ready for a nap.

Enjoy your evening.❤️🙏

@cowboy sam : You are dealing with a lot and everything can be so overwhelming. 
I know your daughter is relieved that you are able to help her with the eye surgery expenses. I will be praying 🙏 for your daughter. I am dreading the surgery but so ready for better eye sight. 
Our low for in the morning will be 58 but the afternoon highs are 89 and 90.

So frustrating trying to keep our tech toys updated. DH didn't like the last printer that he purchased and trying to find something else.

Another thing that I had to deal with. We use the SimpliSafe security system. I called them in July because I was having problems with the base station and the video door bell. They checked everything and insisted that I just needed a new base station and key pad. Haven't had time to install items until Thursday afternoon. I couldn't get the video door bell to sync with the new items and decided to wait and call Friday morning. Was on the phone for over an hour. Had to remove the video door bell to look inside the back to push two different buttons per their instructions. They decided that I needed a new video door bell. I explained what they said in July. She put me on hold to check all the information. She came back and apologized for all the inconvenience. They will be sending me a new video door bell at no cost. Thank God for that Blessing. But I am really spoiled with the convenience of the video door bell with the grocery and food delivery and if hear anything outside. Supposed to be shipped on Monday with delivery in 2 or 3 days.

Have a Blessed week.🙏❤️❤️❤️

@PamfromCT : Wonderful to see your post. So sorry for the painful and expensive tooth problems.  For me the tooth or foot problems makes the total body upset. Praying you will be able to quickly schedule appointments to have this taken care of. Have a Blessed week.🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️

@cowboy sam : I wish I had your email address. DH just gave me some information on how to extend Windows 10. DH has found a guy that has a news letter, he had some service capacity with Microsoft and is very knowledgeable. Computer Guru: Ask Leo from 9/30/25- Subject #1089: How to Keep Using Windows 10 Safely after Support Ends. I can't give you the link on this post.❤️🙏

@SouthernBee 

Thank you and your dh  and i  found Leo on yt and i read his review.

I had already done in the past using caution,etc that he mentioned  and advised,  it was a interesting read tho.

Microsoft has already posted to me that i was eligible to have a free year extension free by agreeing  and clicking on notification....so i am going to be ok using my windows 10  for another year  or even longer.

thanks again🤗

lubs ya!

@cowboy sam : Wonderful news. DH said if he switched to Windows 11 it would be free. If he ask for the Windows 10 it will be $20 months.

Dh said that after the year is up if you follow Leo and do the 2 things that he recommends will have longer use of your computer with Windows 10. If you really like ask Leo then he only charges $15 a month for his post.He sends a daily information about things that are computer related if you are interested in joining. If you have questions something: he will respond to you. This is the information only to you. That's your choice if you want this help. 🙏❤️❤️❤️

@SouthernBee 

HP  keeps remimding me that my computer with windows 10 " isn't" compatable to have windows 11 download.

So,i am not rushing to spend more money right now  on a new one  and relearn how it works.

It's stressful  to be paying for  daughters upcoming eye surgery  ..my first priority and i know that we both know the cost to keep ones eyes healthy  as can be.

She also was told she could have the cheaper surgery   like you was told also but in a year or 2 it would be redone again 

Who knows if i will still be around to help her by paying then???

Right now my health is good  at 85  but who  knows how much time we have to live?

Enjoy your day...and thanks for the computer info on Leo.

Will your dh download the free windows 11??

lubs ya!

lubs ya!

@SouthernBee 

a few years ago  there was talk about exchanging emails here....and i put mine up  but no one was interested  and a mod deleted it.

@cowboy sam : Congratulates on your computer update.🎉🎊❤️🙏

If I had seen your email: I would have been so excited and would have accepted it.

Called my hair stylist yesterday for hair cut and she was able to see me yesterday afternoon. DH stayed instead of returning home. Told stylist that I wanted a shorter haircut due to eye surgery next month. Lady in chair next to me had a cute pixie cut : she pointed and asked how about this? DH stated not that short. Stylist noticed bald spots on top of front and back, thin everywhere else but stated too thick on bottom. She suggested textured cut on top close to back to add volume and stacked cut on lower bottom , this removed the bulky hair and added more volume to the higher back to conceal the bald back areas. Hope you can understand this but trying to find photo of this style. DH loves it... very surprised because I really like this change. No messy tangled hair this morning.  This morning just gave my head a good shake and everything back in place. Praying this will be much easier to wash and comb in place. 
Electriction came this afternoon to install the SimpliSafe video doorbell. Really didn't care for the young loud guy. He struggled with door bell. I was calling SimpliSafe for him to talk with their tech people. He got it installed but stayed on then cut off. He did something else and stated on only for 10 minutes. So I will be calling SimpliSafe tomorrow. So frustrating and tired with so many issues. 
I have my last colonoscopy scheduled for 12/1/25. I have appointment scheduled 12/3/25 with my new endocrinologist. Filed out the new paperwork they emailed me. Struggling with installation of their patient portal: the office had reversed my home phone and cell phone number and need to call the office for them to correct this.

I still haven't finished purging my middle room. I am trying to reduce my : "to do list but it's getting longer."😬😮😧

Haven't heard anything else from the funeral director.

I miss so many people that aren't posting here. Praying that everyone is ok and just not posting because of all the problems.

Stay safe and enjoy your evening.❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🎉🎉
