I spent a lot of time playing Candy Land with our daughter. I loved that game almost as much as she did.

We are getting some crazy thunderstorms here tonight, we even had hail. My dog is freaking out but all I keep thinking is "I hope the electric and satellite don't go out." It is the Survivor season opener and the finale of Big Brother. Also, on Blackish tonight they are at WDW, I don't normally watch that one, but since it is at WDW I got it set to record.

New windows update.. new start menu, and annoyances.. (automatic reset on all your personal settings).. arggh..

*edit*

I got the update yesterday. So far, I really really hate it. Mostly because of Cortana. I don't want to go messing around on the registry, so I disabled as much of Cortana as I can while maintaining the search function. And then I complained to Microsoft about why they are forcing Cortana on me when I don't want Cortana. Almost as annoying as the paper clip was in Microsoft Office, but at least I could change that to a cute cartoon cat.

Check the link I posted a bit later. It allows you to disable Cortana again.

should work. Im unsure about the new menu style. But I guess ill get used to it.
What I was annoyed is, my calibration for my monitor settings also disappeared and refused to take the files. Had to fight quite a bit to restore.

But all seems good now I think.

That has you mess around on the registry. I found that article yesterday. For now, Cortana is hidden, and if I need the search function, I'l just show it. I got it to stop popping up at random. That was driving me crazy. It has absolutely no permission to do anything now.

I will. I told my friend that school has been so stressful that I need the endorphin release associated with dropping 200 ft down on a roller coaster.:hilarious: Now I also don't feel so bad about having to miss my walk today because of homework. I think I'll make it up on Saturday, haha.

I got the PRO version of Windows 10, so the group policy system worked for me. So technically.. Cortana is disabled, but the default search works fine.

Ugh. Repeat basically of what happened in Baltimore. I fully understand why they are angry and why they feel the need to protest. But the violent protests accomplish absolutely nothing except to destroy property, cause hundreds of thousands of dollars worth if damage, and further strain police-civillian relations.

The exterior windows at the NASCAR Hall of Fame were busted out but they didn't go in the building. :grumpy:

Disagree, while I agree in this case. The revolutions and most cases of independence were bloody and violent affairs.. the powerful will never let their power go easily.

And some of the most effective means of change were non violent. Martin Luther King Jr. brought attention to issues of segregation without violence. Ghandi helped India gain its independence with absolutely no fighting. Being peaceable, especially in this day and age, does a whole lot more good than violence and agression.

In college we turned Candyland into a drinking game. I don't remember what the rules were but there was a lot of alcohol consumed!

We did not, but the satellite signal went out a couple of times. We were still able to watch most of our shows.
