Good evening, MM...((HUGS))...FR is as slow as a snail for me tonight. I suppose it's because of "The One" speaking tonight. I took this afternoon off and will take tomorrow afternoon off too. A bunch of running around to do. How about you?

[MS.BEHAVIN]

I see..
I work until 5:30, and do not get home until 6 or later..
Taking a nap that late messes me up!

Aloha Night Owl, Little Devil, Luv, Taz and Doc!

Forgive me for bundling tonight, but my PC is having a fit. Received a notice on an update the Windows Explorer's memory was low.....an Alzheimer update.

Now, I'm a kind and patient SoB but sometimes these new updates get to me and make me think that my computer ought to head off to a retirement community or a hospice for incorrigible appliances.

Besides, during my boredom watching the Sand Dial, I watched the Obama bilge on the news. This did nothing to improve my mood.

[luvie]

Hi, there! I can’t believe you actually watched that drivel!

I turned it on for 30 seconds, and he was ripping the petroleum industry...which fuels MY economy! I turned it off!

Good luck with your IE...I get so many updates, and have no
idea what they are doing to my computer! LOL!

[MeekMom]

Hiya Luvy Dovey!
Thanks! You too!
My Cubbies won tonight! Off to a good start! :)

[luvie]

Cool!!

Maybe they’ll get to the World Series this year! :D

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, TS...do you have the weekend to yourself, or is it a “school” weekend? Know what you are teaching?
