I wonder if the Naming Fairy will make an appearance during the DSD festivities. Feeling like it’s time for a “new name”
1 more week of lockdown was announced....5 weeks in total now and I'll be over it by then for sure....heck I already am
@SeattleSheri basically only going out for groceries, doctors, chemists, COVID testing and vaccinations. Hoping mid next week things will ease and we can do takeout as well as click & collect. More importantly it will mean for my family that my grandma can move into the retirement village and family no longer have to provide 24/7 care.
Feeling a bit broken right now and kind of helpless due to lockdowns as I can’t physically support family that need close to 24/7 support.
@norton94 unfortunately it won’t as it’s my grandma whose 84 with dementia waiting to get in full time residential care. Can’t do the move until we aren’t in Covid lockdown. At the moment family are providing support at her home - it’s my mums turn for 5 nights.
@littlekiwi I'm so sorry - we went through that with my mom - I so don't envy being there with Covid on top of it. (((Hugs)))
Things don't sound quite so dire now which is a good thing.....turns out my grandma was saying she was all ok, my aunt who has been supporting her was saying she was in a really bad state but the actual story is somewhere in the middle which is what my mum and I figured would be reality at least for now and she seems in good spirits while my mum is spending 5 nights with her.
2 challenges done and its not even the end of the 3rd here. Must be a new record for me. Admittedly one was also a CT layout for Soco too.
missed you! I wasn't able to do anything x 2 months, now I am slow but will catch up with you asap! isn't @Soco the best? Congrats on being on her CT!!! <3
And just like that we are in lockdown til the end of the month, didn’t expect anything less to be fair.
Oh by no means am I upset by it at all @Tree City, I’d rather do it this way than be locked down for months on end or be given too much freedom and COVID is rampant.
well that was much easier with double the RAM, laptop didn't have a meltdown when trying to use Photoshop Elements & ACDSee at the same time
Believe it or not I bought it about 6 months ago but hadn’t got around to installing it. Figured when my laptop was being fixed it would be the perfect time for it to be installed since I was already paying the technician anyway.
Great idea that I had last night but EHD way too small.....guess that tells you how long its been since I've bought one, it was 250GB!
Rediscovering a whole lot of digi stash I had forgotten I owned.....its like 'Christmas' on my hard drive at the moment!
Thanks @cfile @Angela Toucan @umyesh - this has certainly brightened up what has ended up being a pretty awful afternoon & evening. Currently have no wireless internet or landline until after 9am Sunday morning as we ran into issues setting it up so have to wait until we can ring for help. Think about 5 things went wrong from about lunchtime onwards - each thing wasn’t super big but cumulative mean I’m over today.
Gutted, my internet is so slow I can't get much off Backblaze without it taking 10+ hours for 25gb. Need some of it by Monday too
@umyesh, highly unlikely being at the bottom of the world and its the first day of a two week school vacation period so everyone is probably using the internet. I do have a new modem to install later tonight which might help things along massively
Are you directly plugged in? I know internet is slower at the bottom of the world, so that's the only thing I can think of to help!
No, it’s a brand new set up with a different modem and all. Going to be contacting our internet provider in a minute
What a difference an extra 8gb of RAM and a new hard drive makes .....never had such a speedy laptop before!
Oh this delay is 100% me now, had a few extra things going on this week so haven’t quite got the laptop sorted.
well, whatever the way, praying for you to get to a positive result <3 I need you for inspiration!!!! <3
I so want to scrap but can’t for who knows how long….all depends on the diagnosis from the computer repair shop tomorrow.
is in moments like this that I would love to be one of those billionaires...or at least have a lot more money than I do now... I would send you the money for a new one!!!!! Hugggzzzz
I hate “Blue Screens of Death” + no $$$ to repair it or replace the laptop that’s out of warranty. Had one this afternoon.
Did it start back up? as that was how it went with mine... blue screen and then I could start it up again.
