We got a divorce and he left me behind...sadly SHARING in 4-7-5.

Bus pulls out at 3pm tomorrow!

Are you going to wait for it?




Went to church, came home.

Went over to granny's to help her over to my aunt's house, cause her furnace has went out.  She's been sick the last couple days and didn't go to church.  Wanted me to come over and help her over to my aunt's (next door) cause she was afraid they would both fall if my aunt tried to help her.  I just had her get in the car and drove her up next to the porch.

Anyhoo....

[MelodyB]

I said the same thing on FB awhile ago!

Lol



Why don't you just run a zip line from your granny's to your aunts houses? Be faster.

[Chseeads]

Yes, I'm sure that there'd be less likelihood of breaking a hip on a zip line.....   

[Lynx]

I've been going for so long that if I stopped, I don't think I'd ever get started again. 

After the wedding I went home, ate a rather large turkey, ham and cheese sandwich, and went back to church for christmas play practice.  And, as it turned out, children's church music practice, and sign team practice, and typing the bulletin, and finding out the people who were supposed to clean the church didn't, so the pastor, wife and I vacuumed it real quick.  Then I set some eggs boiling and Grandma said she'd take them off when they were hard-boiled, then I went to Wal-Mart for a few things...

Now I just have to make the hard-boiled eggs into deviled eggs, pick up the church bus for tomorrow, and I'm done. 

This week has been MUCH better than I thought it would be.  Busier, but much better.

Back at work. One more day, then it's five glorious days off....

Went to church, went to Sis. Mildred's (who hasn't been able to get out lately) house, came home....

Messed the computer up at church and cannot fix it....*sigh* 

Had a preacher today and he just came back from Brazil and had a slideshow of a few pictures.  I could've probably opened it in Powerpoint if I'd had sense, but I didn't try that, just opened it straight off his file, and it wouldn't play the slideshow on the screen, it would only play it on the monitor side...

So I switched the Nvidia option thingy to which screen was default or whatever, and got it to play...but then trying to get it switched back, it just got all balled up and then now it won't recognize the monitor, and when I try to open windows they're opening on what is supposed to be the monitor, but I can't find them to drag them back to where I can see them because nothing is showing up on the monitor....

I can start the computer in safe mode and it comes up on the monitor fine, but it won't acknowledge the projector in safe mode or let me reset the video options etc., that I can figure out....

I'm at a horrible loss and don't know what to do to it.

I JUST WANT IT BACK LIKE IT WAS! 

[Roscoe]

I am of no help here. My solution involves this... and this... .... and this.... followed by this....

Then go buy a new one. 
And totally unrelated, my love of old country musicians that sing gospel and ebay are gonna get me killed. I found a Gene Watson gospel cd......yes, it would make Ruby and Jenn barf, but it will do quite well for me to sing loudly along with while driving in to work or driving Rusty. So I bought it.  Now to 1) beat Lou home and get the mail every day for the next week 2) Copy the cd for Bro Papa and 3) slip into the music collection where it will lay  hopefully unnoticed for a while. That way, when Lou sees it and asks about it I can truthfully say " Oh, I've had that for a while".     Lands. If it was a froo-froo "Jesus is my boyfiend" album I wouldn't have to resort to such measures. 

[Lynx]

Roscoe:  Froo froo? And did you intend to spell it boyfiend, or was that a Freudian slip?

Seth have you tried unplugging all monitors and projectors except the one you want to use?  If it is the only monitor connected, the computer should default to it.  Then go into nVidia and make sure to set it as the default.  Then reconnect the projector and reset it as the secondary display, then open PowerPoint or whatever you use for in-service displays and make sure it is using the projector again.

I remember when the computers at McDonald's went out in a power outage, and when they came back up the order display out front was showing what should have been showing back in the office.  And the boss didn't know anything about BIOS, and couldn't see what she was doing if she had known... I had to stand out there where the screen was and yell back to her to hit the arrow key over, over, enter, down three...  Finally got it working again, but man what a headache!

It was a slip...

[MelodyB]

I'm on the bus!

Got a seat to mysel. Thank ya Lord. Lol

[The Purple Fuzzy]

Seth could you just restore the computer to an earlier version from before your little fiasco?

[Chseeads]

Seth could you just restore the computer to an earlier version from before your little fiasco?

No, I couldn't find any way to do it.....I looked around for it and couldn't find anything....

And, what I need to be able to see when I open a new window opens up on the monitor screen that is not showing anything up.



I unplugged the projector cord from the comp at one point.  I don't think I restarted while I had it unplugged....but just unplugging it alone didn't help me any. 

I don't know how it got screwed up so bad....  Oy. 

[Chseeads]

I'm on the bus!

Got a seat to mysel. Thank ya Lord. Lol

Were you expecting to sit on someone's lap? 

[MelodyB]

Maybe.

30 more mins on this bus. Whew doggie. Don't know if I can even walk after riding this long.

[Lynx]

Went to church, ate lunch at church, came home, helped Grandma with (yet another round of) candy/cookie making, went to church for one last christmas play practice, had the church christmas program, went to a restaurant with family, came home, fell over. 

Grandma has become a candy making machine.  Chocolate oatmeal cookies, peanut butter fudge, chocolate truffles, sugar free chocolate truffles... she's doing this instead of presents this year for most people.  She was making the stuff almost all day yesterday and after church today.  I help her when I'm here, but I've been a bit busy. 

I got rid of all the sourdough bread while they were handing out presents at the end of the church christmas program.  Some of them were watching me to make sure I didn't run out before I got to them, and a couple families must have got a bit nervous because they started asking where theirs was before I even got there. 

Today has been hectic, but a lot of fun. 

In sadder news, funeral tomorrow for the eldest son of a good friend of our church.  We'll be up there cooking bright and early, because this is the south and we find comfort food useful at funerals.  I can't even imagine what it would be like to have to bury a family member on christmas eve.   

[Chseeads]

Maybe.

You may wait on the bus when you try to get off the bus!

I used the church folks for gineau pigs today.  I tried a new deviled egg idea, mixing cream cheese, plain yogurt, mustard and lemon juice in the egg yolks.  I boiled 30 eggs, that's 60 halves, and they were all eaten, so I guess it was a success.  Should have thought of cream cheese long ago.

[SippinTea]

That sounds really yummy, Isaac.

Had a potluck today. I took potato soup in the crockpot, and cranberry clusters. The soup was GONE, with people asking for more. And what was left of the cranberry clusters I sent home with one of my favorite people - an older man who has adopted me and Chris as his kids/grandkids. He 'specially likes them, and it's been a horrid week for him (lost a family member) so sending home the rest of the cranberry clusters with him made me feel like I was putting at least a small smile back into his life.

Seems like so many people are really hurting this Christmas.

[Lynx]

Sorry to hear that SippinTea.

On our side, my sister is duking it out with cancer.  The mass is putting pressure on one of her kidneys - the good one, that used to be taking up the slack for the bad one - and they couldn't put a stent in.  They got it stabilized eventually though, and she's continuing chemo.  Right now they're talking about treating it long-term as a chronic illness, and speaking in terms of her maybe lasting a few more years. 

I don't usually like to talk about negatives, but there it is. 

[Chseeads]

Ashlee (been a good while since she posted anything last) lost her father, I saw on FB. 

[MelodyB]

In tallahassee, in bed.

Goodnight.

[Lynx]

Apparently my uncle Fred really likes deviled eggs.  In our family we have a finger-food family supper on Christmas eve and he has asked me more than once if I'm going to make deviled eggs. 

Gone to chu'ch, ciao for now.
