Good grief. I had to download Windows Essentials to get a decent mail program back. And also Photo Gallery. I removed Microsoft Edge and made default to IE 11. Inspect Element, the idiotic html codes that I don't understand and no one needs is constantly popping up, as are ads. I can't scroll, I can't save a website to the start menu or the taskbar, and a lot of other annoyances that were totally unnecessary for Microsoft to incorporate. I used to have the Blogger dashboard and Pinterest a click away. And where is the File Edit View toolbar? They say that Windows 10 is now a "service". Maybe for the high tech users. I am buying a new hard drive for the deceased Windows 7 laptop and having the touchpad fixed. The email program from Essentials is the same as 7 and I was able to transfer contacts, which wasn't happening with 10's default program. Thank goodness I can get emails on the new one now. I don't back them up so all were lost, even some from the last few days. Pam G., I have not been able to contact you and still cannot!
So instead of finishing three boxes, I have been spending more hours on this crap.
Anyway, thought I would show you the boxes for tomorrow, unless I get a few more painted. There will be six corner sets, five hornbooks, and probably just these five boxes for Sunday's sale. I still have the large 3 box set and a few larger hearts to make for another time. I think this will be the end of the sets for a while.
Nitzy hid in the corner. Poor little guy hadn't heard such offensive language in a long while. Well .... the Jay Z concert. Nit is the skinny version of Bud who is turning quite plump. I leave the food out because the three of them show up at different times, which allows Bud to consume 24/7. Missy and Nit haven't made me bleed in a while, but the worm pill is coming soon along with another round of flea meds so I'll keep the peroxide handy.
Sorry for the electronic rant. I go through this too often don't I? I'm just relieved I was able to get some of Windows 7 features installed while disabling some of 10's. And in the meantime, a bag of Mounds, a bag of Almond Joy, two bags of Snack Factory's dark chocolate crunch pretzels, a sundae from Burger King's drive thru, and two pounds of red grapes are now missing.
Back tomorrow for the sale!
Have a good evening.

I know hate is a very strong word, but I HATE Windows 10!!!

That bad, huh? I'm supposed to upgrade my work laptop to Windows 10, and I've been procrastinating. I'll hold off until the hatemail from IT can't be ignored.
Btw, The Golden Girls airs on TV Land on Sunday mornings.
Totally understand your Windows rant. We our PC died in January, we specifically bought one with Windows & installed. Never upgraded to 10 and never will. My kids like it but it is not for me. Can't wait for the sale.

I've dealt with 8, 8.1, and 10 and HATE them all. One would think software would be designed to be easier to use than the previous version, not harder!
Marly, Your blog is such a joy to read! You make me smile and laugh! I do feel bad though that you have had such trouble with the computer. Take care talented lady, your boxes are beautiful. SAH
Aww, just look at Nitzy. Slow down girl. You don't wanna become diabetic!!
Sorry for the computer pains. I always say I would never have gotten into using computers if I didn't have my computer whiz husband around. He gets to deal with the pains. lol!
which is exactly why I now use a Mac....SO much easier than any PC.

Lori has a good idea... because if my computer ever dies, I will not be getting one with anything above Windows 7! Hmmm.... Such a lot of chocolate...
I "upgraded" to Windows10 when my desktop died. If I have to reinstall 1 more time, I swear I'm just going to install Linux - been using Mozilla as a browser for years. Learning to use that can't be more painful than dealing with MicroSlop's myriad weirdnesses! It's easier to check my e-mail on my 7 year old Nook, how pathetic is that?
