My daughter has a Bosch, and I absolutely hate trying to load anything in it, It seems like the wires on the racks never fit what I try to put in there. It takes forever to run a complete cycle. Give me our old Whirlpool any day. Easy to load and quick. That’s why I was happy I was able to fix it after our flooding incident. I still haven’t trusted to walk away and let it run yet, but I am getting more trusting.

Yes, he feels like he owns the place now.

Was off to my daughter’s house, early this morning. Got a little time to play with Ricky. So I made the drive in the dark and heavy fog, to get my daughter to her hospital appointment, while Susan stayed behind to get the grandkids to school. I just heard from her that grandson lost a tooth, so it looks like the tooth fairy will be looking for him.

After my meeting last night, I stopped and picked up supper, then a Powerball ticket. The sky looked strange. Evidently it was an omen that I was not destined to win. Not even one number. I need to do better at reading omens before the next drawing.

iPhone 12 Pro running 16.1 and no problems now. Is your phone saving your old password and trying to use it? Check the password section Under settings. If it saved the old one, you can update it there.

Out for a walk this morning, and at 10:15, the fog is still pretty thick. This is the spot I proposed to my wife, 42 years ago, last May.

I have read a couple of Thor’s books, and like them. I have read all of Harlan Coben’s books.

Going back to a few posts that I may have missed the last couple of days. @ReneeFLL I really like Mike’s formal outfit. @DaniDanielle Love your granddaughter’s Halloween costume @BonTexasNY Sorry to hear you will be back in the boot. Hope things get better for you. @George C Sorry to hear your niece needs an operation. Hope all goes well.

Our temperature this morning and they are right about the dense fog. Can barely see to the road. This looked a little eerie this morning. Today is the first day, in a long time, that I don’t have anything planned. Well, except for a meeting tonight of a local government board that I serve on.

It seems that I can now log in with my iPhone also. In fact, I didn’t have to log in at all. It did it automatically.

I seem to have more time to read now. It slowed down considerably when our grandson was with us 24/7 this summer. I just finished one of the new James Patterson books 22 Seconds, and I am currently about half through the old Brad Thor novel, Use of Force. Waiting in the wings is the new Lee Child Book, No Plan B, that Susan is currently reading. Also waiting in the wings is the new CJ Box book, Treasure State. I am also on the library wait list for new books by Nelson DeMille and Michael Connelly. Just hope I am done with these by the time those are ready for me.

Seems to be common to the phones, where the pop up box is usually hidden. I thought maybe upgrading to iOS 16.1 yesterday had something to do with it. I tried chrome, Firefox, and Safari on the iPhone, and none of them work. At least it is working on my iPad and computer now.

As a seasoned cruiser, you probably do not need to be told to keep your phone in airplane mode and Wi-Fi on. I believe I remember following your blog on one of your other cruises. If your largest ship was around the size of the Coral Princess, my guess is that you are going to be impressed with the quality of the shows, as well as the size differential. Enjoy your cruise.

You would think they would have tested things out a little more to avoid these log in issues. Don’t they know that old people hate change, and get easily annoyed?

I couldn't log in on my iPhone or iPad, but could on the PC. Once I cleared all cookies and website data for Safari, I could log in on the iPad. I will have to try clearing on my iPhone now. I did notice that the avatars got deleted. I had to upload an old low res one, so I may have to do a new one now.

It has been a few years since we have been there. We liked going for food and drinks, and listening to the bands outside. Never in the colder months though. Let me know how it is. Looks like they only have bands on Fridays this month.

Like most people in the US, I woke up this morning and tossed my losing Powerball ticket in the trash. But we can all still dream big. Wednesday, it will be at least $1.2B.

After raining most of the day, the rain stopped, and it turned into a nice night for trick or treating. We take a table to the end of our drive, and a few of the neighbors will do the same. A few of the neighbors will come over and hang out at the bottom of our drive, and we all get caught up with one another. Yes, we are “THAT HOUSE” A couple of my favorite costumes tonight. Sometimes, dinosaurs need to hitch a ride. We saw nothing but polite kids trick or treating tonight, and lots said thank you, especially when we told them they could have more than one.

Happy 21st birthday to your granddaughter.

That is the only time I eat the bread. Dip it in the escargot.

I just saw a story on the news, that a restaurant had to raise the price of their hamburger from $36 to $50. I have never met a hamburger that is worth $50.

I think Ricky got his name because their old cat was Lucy. Who knew these young kids even heard of Lucy and Ricky?

What a nice baby shower! So you are saying you want her born on my son’s birthday? He wasn’t due till January, but came early enough for that tax deduction for the year.

I know I posted a couple weeks ago that my daughter’s cat, Lucy, passed away. It was the only pet my grandkids had ever had, and they took it very hard. My grandson probably took it the hardest. He went from “I don’t think I want another pet.” to…”It will probably take me a couple weeks to love another pet.” Meet Ricky Ricardo Ricky is 4 months old He has moved right in And evidently, Ricky has managed to shorten that 2 week estimate, for my grandson to love a new pet, to one day. He just curls up on his lap and follows him around.

Our city picks up yard waste, but it has to be in toters or biodegradable bags. For our neighbor’s, we drag them on a tarp to a wooded area behind his house. The owner of the wooded area has given him permission to put them there.
