That was the best thing about my new Dell. I didn't have to spend an hour uninstalling a bunch of crap from it.

I'm surprised, because most prefabs like Dell either have Norton or McAffee.

Officially tested positive for COVID and now I'm out of work for a week. Welp, time to catch up on my shows and movies!

Oh no! Are you okay?

 

[donaldtoo]

Yep for us too. We built tents out of sheets, made “mud” pies, rode bikes, etc. We lived outside in the summer. And of course had to help with the vegetable garden.
We watched tv Sat morning for the cartoons. Not too much at night but a few shows. I remember Lawrence Welk, Bonanza, Hee Haw, shows like that.

Oh yea, we were all over the place when we were kiddos, and we watched all 3 of those shows, and then some, but, we were still EXTREMELY active beyond our home.
We, literally, used to spend hours away from home on our bikes cruising locally, or disappearing for hours into the foothills.
We always had some lawn mowing money to get a spicy bean burrito from Taco Bell, or another snack to keep our energy up, and Mom knew we’d always be back in time for dinner…!!!!!
Those were indeed some good, carefree times…!!!!!

Oh no! Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine. Just coughing every now and again.

Long time no see. How have you been?

He didn’t take a lef toiwn at Albacoiwki, but, he sawed off Florida…this Bugs Bunny guy is more evil than I ever knew…!!!!!

 

[Squidney]

Long time no see. How have you been?

I am well! Just juggling work, school and home life. How about you?

 

[Tony the Tigger]

Are you getting the empty shelves like the rest of us now?
I still am having trouble finding certain

There are some empty or light sections - nothing that really affects me. Someone recently posted there was no canned cat food at Publix. Paper products are tricky at BJ’s. The price of “thank you bags” for my store have skyrocketed (but I was able to find alternate sourcing online.)

Thank you for asking. This week sans snow has been much better than the past couple of weeks. Older ds had a fun birthday this weekend

I wonder how much money Disney could make off of “Seven Dwarfs Night Train Mine Wine”…!!!!!

I finally can get the original wax melt containers I used again. The other 2 were ok but not the same

 

[Tony the Tigger]

And, I’ve got another inadvertent day off, too…
Apparently, 2 negative Covid home tests aren’t good enough to go back to the office, so I had to schedule a test at a medical facility.
The first place I called was a drive up that I used before our Texas coast trip…early afternoon appt., and had results by 5p same day.
When I called this morning, they said the wait for results is now 2 days…!!!
The earliest I could get in at another place was 3p-ish, but, they’ll have results in 15 mins.
Luckily, I have a buncha’ vacation days built up, ‘cause there’s no way I’m gonna’ be able to make up all those hours…!!!!!

I believe if they’re requiring it, they can pay for it. The government is reimbursing businesses for giving Covid-related time off, including testing.

Yep, either way, I’m covered, as per the office memo they sent out a coupla’ weeks ago.

Either it came in from the bay, or someone illegally released it.

Now that's some quality tape right there. It is indeed invisible.

C’mon, am I really goin’ to be the first one to post this…?!?!?!
It appears that “snapper” has not yet been circumcised…!!!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

Another bit of fun from the trip…
Even at 38,000 ft. + you can still see the blades on these wind turbines goin’ ‘round…!!!!!

I wouldn't go into those gutters in the city...

I've seen those in my backyard on occasion. Not in the city.

I'm surprised, because most prefabs like Dell either have Norton or McAffee.

I think it came with a download code to install one of those, but it didn't have it on there. Much as I liked the Lenovos, there was a ton of crap on those.
