Wife and I have the same thing. All day is fine. Laying down in bed… cough cough cough.

Same thing here too. Going on a couple weeks for me, hers is just starting.
A friend mentioned the same thing lasting nearly a month.

Some nasty F'n bug going around...

I have a taxi driving story for you later! I drove in NYC and I started my night out at Kennedy. Good times.

My dad delivered a semi load to nyc. He had to back the wrong way down a one way street during rush hr....scary

Love to hear it sometime. NY was pretty wild back in the day.

I’m literally thinking the movie Taxi Driver.

Dont worry about bacteria or all the myriads of stuff trying to kill us...viruses is what will do us in

Agree

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

And safe travels to you, B2. You will be w precious cargo!

Hopefully the roads are improved.

Roads were in great shape

Quick check in today. Getting ready to go out and tying up loose ends. See lots are hitting the road. Be careful out there. Looks like more snow up in the NE for the next few days. It turned cold down south. We enjoyed 70’s for a few days.

Might be a hit or miss over the next week as I’m getting back into the flow. Everyone have a great week!

How's everyone else managing today?

I am not hungry it is an emotion i am wanting to eat

Hope it passed and stays away a while

It comes with age. When I was younger, some risky things I did . . .

All is good. The uber driver showed up 20 minutes EARLY. Then drove like a maniac and I got to the airport really quickly. I was literally the only person in the security line.

Starting off the day with some solid Win Column action Safe Travels
(You're likely there already)

Understatement!! Stay healthy if you can, Spoonies!!
To those walking wounded... take the time if you can to rest up and shake the crud.
Self-Care is Health-Care

That's bonkers!!

Win Column
at that medical appointment... hard to dodge all the bugs at the clinic this time of year

Might be a hit or miss over the next week as I’m getting back into the flow.

Slow and steady wins the race
Hope you manage to ease back into this whole work routine thing

I wish the desire to eat would go away....its bs
It is all stress related

I have similar. These allergies make my tummy/liver/guts upset. It feels like I'm hungry all the time. Even after I've eaten a big meal.
So fucking stupid, and It's hard to sleep on that "empty" stomach...

I remember going to Times Square before they "cleaned" it up

Good afternoon. I’m new in town, what’s good here?

too much stress - eat
too little sleep - eat

Annoying AF - my reactions tend to go... another way

Good afternoon. I’m new in town, what’s good here?

Hey @Blade409 . Welcome to our thread!

Talk about whatever you want: food, sheds, baby goats, nudist camps. Coffee is a big topic.

Topics to avoid: politics of any kind, current events, religion or drama.

Sex talk: Altho it’s a sex site, that’s not the vibe of this thread. Altho some double entendre has been known to happen.

DMing people - esp the women here. Not a good idea till you’ve built rapport first. Then only maybe! And if you do…def check out peoples profiles before messaging them.

We’re pretty protective of the vibe we have here. Having said that, we also welcome new faces and people too!

Thank you so much for this info! I am more than happy to play by the rules. I’m not looking to DM or PM anyone. Just looking for a fun group of people. I have a GenX sense of humor, so it might get a little dirty, or dark sometimes, but they are truly jokes. I never talk politics, and can usually keep the horn dog in me at bay (not really, but I know what is & what is not appropriate in the proper setting.) Thank you for potentially accepting me & I hope to glide right into the conversation(s) as they happen.

Hope you find a copy...
No idea if this is a safe site or even the software you referenced... you could end up downloading a hungry worm for all I know

If I cannot find it in the backups I robocoy'd before installing windows now I will try installing an ancient version of Office that had it. And it wasn't paint. Its actually a "small" photo editor. So small I think only jpg files. Old enough it didn't open png, had to rename them jpg and then it worked. The crop was quick and easy and told you dimensions real time. Re-size actually resized not by dimension of the photo but reasonably reducing pixels to make the file smaller. Or it could resize by dragging the corner and just making the photo smaller which also reduced file size. Quick simple an light. One of those Microsoft things that just worked right and they eliminated it only to replace it with something incredibly klunky or requiring an email or phone number to attach your identity to.
A big part of my security is simply not associating my cell# or email to anything financial or health related and specially not SMS-2nd authenticated. If they don't know who to attack they don't know to look for anything to attack. Inconvenient at times but successful so far. Amazon doesn't even have a mobile# for me.
Until GMail created their "authenticator" app they had my number. And the Microsoft store now has an email I made for getting the OS and Office a friend at MS gave me running. Today rebuilding this machine I had to give an email to the store for the chatgpt app. And damit they not only associated this machine even though I selected apps only and created a new email to use to authenticate, they logged me in as the user for the OS and Windows and the new address. I hate being filtered by Microsoft. But, still dependent on windows. Only independent of them on fedora and ubuntu. Surprising the number of things that cross over to ios.
Anyway.... Apparently I still needed to rant. Only you guys can hear me. Sorry
I think I can find my sendto menu and there find a link to the .exe. Possible it is in \roaming or maybe programfiles. If it will run without the office key I will share it if you think it would be useful and have a way we can do that.

Sounds like you'll fit right in... we're a pretty vocal group and protective of the vibe... so you'll know if something doesn't pass the sniff test

Rant away... no apologies needed.
I wish I knew all this stuff way sooner... and had the and to put it all together.
I'm probably one of the lowest hanging fruits on the Internet Tree (to mix metaphors)
I take standard protections but not to the degree you have... and I hate having my name/phone/email wrapped around the little finger of various tech cos and tech bros

WFH peeps:
Anyone wear a headset most of the day at work... then sign out of work and wonder why you can't hear your music/movie?
Then remember to switch headsets?

Having started out in the late 90's when there was a debate on what could be blocked by a proxy in a university, I remember when the internet was new and unfiltered. Metacrawler was pretty open if you used netscape. The google showed up and tracked everything. Revealed what Microsoft was actually using their SQL db for. After that the internet was filtered by your search habits and email content. Now or at least the last place I worked we have to filter so much with a proxy that the internet truly is limited in order to keep the data inside safe. Having secured phones from blackberry to ios personal phones are not secure. The OS protects itself and the device. Personal opinion is ios is most safe. But not safe enough for the user to trust it as secure. I should go back to work before I forget what I know.
Most of the risk I take originates in a virtual machine like the one I am rebuilding. I treat it like a goat but after 20 years and suddenly losing it, I want all my fonts and sizes window shapes and shortcuts I have no idea how or when I created them back. I am pretty shocked on how easy some stuff is to find. Matter of fact I am rethinking my backup strategy to include more 'sacred' directories. So far the only things I have to reinstall are Microsoft Store applications and large or complex one's that do reach the internet for existence. Photoshop or even non-365 office tie your enabling key to the user SID and or the systems UUID. Can't just put it back where it was. Luckily most of the data and personal creations and anything else was not stored in 'my documents' or other expected locations. I will also be more aware and clone the VM's I care about more than once a year. This round I used robocopy with /E and COPYALL seemed to get everything I needed. My new friend is FolderClone. Simple and scheduled. Clones are still manual.
All that said, how am I going to find time to go back to work?
I did ask ChatGPT why me and just one VM got whacked. It seemed to take issue with the NVMe M.2 disk that was hosting the VM disk as (SCSI). Not the SCSI either. The fact it was on the NVMe It may be faster as it is inline with similar speed hardware, but .... I didn't understand that part of the explanation.
