Well, it warmed up nice. Not quite 60, but didn't need to be. The way our house is built, I was actually sweating on the porch. George went outside in a sweat shirt and took it off about halfway from when he first put it on. He actually walked down to the mailbox. I find it kind of odd, this morning they dropped off George's peg tube food, he told me he heard something but, I hadn't. That's unusal for me. Oh well, I got it all in. Despite having been on mac for a couple years, I'm back to using the Edge browser from microsoft. The plus side to this, the syncing and intergration with icloud. I've tried Opera, Firefox etc, but all of them are in the same in terms of needing to find new ways to nivigate mylot, And all of them read Fanfiction .net pretty well. But the problem was with the VA website. I use that frequently won't allw me to log into the VA website and I need it to manage my husband's appoitments, meds and reach out to his care team. Because of course.... the VA doesn't make things easy and my health vet is going away at the end of the month. Because why not? My life is not allowed to be easy. On the bright side, I found a dark mode to use on all websites, yay! if I have to stare at the screen my head won't explode. Oh.... and we got paid early!

I hate those type pc issues. I always have used Edge and like Microsoft. Sorry about the VA thing. Paid early? Cool.

@kaylachan ...... I have a newer HP laptop and it has not once prompted me. I also don't use the icloud, but have things on a thumb drive.

Edge keeps trying to refresh the page and crashing it. So here we go, again. Edge has been the only browser to prompt me for my fingerprint when I try to log onto the va website and let me log in.

For me, technology is one huge pain in the patootie. I admire you for getting anything done at all.

If I want to pay bills, order meds or do anything. I need to know how to use it and not cry.

I use Mozilla Firefox. It's been pretty good for everything. Have a good week. Glad to hear George walked to the mailbox.

It doesn't work on the VA website unless I want to use a text code for 2fA. It won't prompt Apple to pop up my finger print so it'll read the scanner. Otherwise, I'd be using it.

Speak for yourself about being paid. I burned out last month and didn't spend enough time on here to make it. I'm already there for the next time the dollar signs appear though.

You'll catch up. Don't worry. You usually do. And, it'll be a bigger payoff.

@kaylachan True. When I come back, I do it in full force, as I have. I came back in on the 1st ready to go and made almost 50 cents on the first day. Onward and upward.
