I’m all thumbs on a laptop, and on a cellphone.

They’ll take my desktop from my cold, dead hands.

A few years ago, I purchased a couple of cans of “brand name” canned pumpkin that had quite a bit of grit/sand included as a bonus. It is QUITE possible that I’m just picky...lol.

SO, I decided to try a can of Farmer’s Market Organic Pumpkin. It changed my life...or at least my Fall baking:) It is a fantastic product...silky, much less dense, and a beautiful color. The first time I made a pumpkin pie, I was worried that the filling was too loose when it went into the oven...but it baked up to the most luscious texture. They also have squash puree (perfect for soups).

Here’s the website...it’s available in the organic section of the larger stores around here.

Well, I flushed another post last night to you. I thought I'd try to answer again today w/the phone. Nuts to that. Couldn't sign in with FF my preferred browser. Finally got signed in with Safari. And had to google to find a lot of it.

Then I can't see the phone tiny print, zooming limits other things you can do, and who wants to read a blob at a time? I can use a laptop (blown up a little). You can turn the phone to landscape mode and see a little more but still have to deal with above-mentioned difficulties.

No, it's a beautiful gadget but inconsistent and not intuitive. Youtube is not enjoyable any more. No sidebar. Can't pull up my watch history.

Everything I pull up seems to be about making more money. And I'm not totally tech stupid, Been through Windows and the Mac, AA in Business Computer Programming.

No, the pc is the top banana even though bulky and not portable.

I'll keep struggling with the phone which I really only needed to carry around in case I fall but it's not failsafe for sure. Naturally could have gotten by w/something a whole lot cheaper. Better than wearing a red button necklace!

I'm in a b!tcht mood. Can you tell?

The young 'uns type on that tiny kb with their thumbs. There was that NYT article about how Silicon Valley parents don't want their kids on it. Said one parent (paraphrased), the devil is in that machine.

I feel that way about my iPad. And I can take it wherever I go, even...into the kitchen to cook with! It’s da best!
