The storms are over, and we were missed. We are under this watch until 6 p.m. I've only seen one tornado, since I've lived here, over 20+ years. They are rare in the mountains. Much more common in eastern Colorado. I told this story once before, we vacationed in Colorado for years in the summer. We always stopped in Burlington, Colorado....it border's with Kansas. We got our room at a small hotel , one story at the time, next to the Pizza Hut. We had our doggie, Freddy with us. He stayed in the room, while we got a pizza to go. To make a long story short. A tornado, hit the Pizza Hut, and tore off the roof, while we were waiting for the pizza. I was afraid for our doggie, so we paid for the pizza and left, before it was finished. We came back to a very scared doggie hiding under the bed. That was a good thing, as the hail broke out the picture window, of all the rooms. We put on the "weather" channel, for the time. It was a picture of a weather vane showing the wind direction. To make this long story , short. The vane was hit, and off flew the Weather indicator. It was at 120 mph. At the time it was scary. With all the hail and wind. Nothing other than that happened. We laugh about this when ever we travel through Burlington.:happy:

I saw Elton John in concert...he came to the town where I went to University to do a benefit concert after Matthew Shepard was murdered. We got free tickets and backstage passes because my brother was a friend of Matthew's and was also the chairman of the LGBT organization on campus and had spoken at vigils across the US and helped to organize the concert. But we waited and waited back stage to meet him and he never came down before the show. I can't complain...everything was free for me.

I'm sorry to hear this. I wish famous people would remember who made them famous. I hope your brother wasn't too disappointed.

Something similar happened to us. We would go to the American Idol tours each year. Most people didn't know that if you came to the stadium in the early afternoon of the show that the top 10 would come out and talk to you and take pictures with those there. One year, on my daughter's 16th birthday, we had waited outside in the heat for three hours to meet James Durbin. Everyone came out but him. His aunt did come out. My daughter asked her to please have him come out. She told her it was her birthday. She said she would get him to come out. Well, he didn't. My daughter was very disappointed. We had seats to the left of the stage about 8 rows up. During the middle of his set, James came over, pointed to my daughter and stopped singing to say happy birthday to her. The place went crazy. She was beyond thrilled. Either the aunt pointed her out to him or told how she was dressed. She was dressed in his colors and his ever present bandana in her back pocket. She is also very distinctive in her looks. I happened to be filming at the time so she'll always have that moment to remember her 16th birthday.

try to plug your laptop via normal ethernet cable. To see if the wireless is failing as well.
I have windows 10 and no issues with Firefox.

I have on and off. I get as far as uploading and the page refreshes. I have to close the page and open it again and it works. That makes me think it may be an issue with an ad. Of course I didn't pay attention to the ads. :facepalm:

@betty rose I went to Trader Joes today and as I was looking at the cheeses I thought of you. There was an almond cheese it was 99% lactose free, I thought it might be something you might want to look into. I don't know if that 1% would effect you or not. Here is a picture of the front, I should have thought to take a picture of the ingredients.

What a wonderful story. She will never forget this. I love when good unexpected things happen.
