WARNING: Do not install the automatic windows 10 anniversary update. It comes with the message that failure to install it will compromise your security sytem. Instead it crashed my computer – my system files are MIA. If you are using a newer pc that came with win 10 installed you are probably ok, but if you installed win 10 on your pc when it was offered free, avoid the update like the plague. Google Windows 10 anniverary update problems – read and weep. When I phoned windows help I was told that it was my computer at fault, not the update, that my computer was full of viruses and it was too old to support the update and that it would take a technician $150 to fix it leaving me to wonder when microsoft went into the hijacking business! When I asked if this was all my computers fault why there were hundreds of postings on tech sites by people having issues with the update, the person I was talking to hung up on me. Guess I will be going shopping for a mac.

Hello to my fellow babblers!How is everyone doing today

9:42 pm

Minveryork

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers!Way to go

11:20 pm

rururocks

hello minver... hope you finished this little grid too

11:21 pm

Minveryork

Hello rururocks! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

11:21 pm

Minveryork

Actually, I've been saving my final word since 12:30 p.m.

11:22 pm

rururocks

I'm fine.. been working all day

11:22 pm

Minveryork

I have been waiting for somebody to witness by fireworks

11:22 pm

rururocks

<--- bets Minver sucks a long time on the last M & M in the bag

11:22 pm

Minveryork

You did the opposite of me today. I did NOTHING all day!

11:23 pm

rururocks

I just got home from work

11:23 pm

Minveryork

Peanut M & M's are the way to go. I suck on that nut for a long time!

11:24 pm

rururocks

I actually haven't had m and M's in so long I can't remember when

11:25 pm

rururocks

so if you've been relaxing.. you must be still not back to school yet

11:26 pm

Minveryork

Me too. I do not eat a lot of candy. No sweet tooth here.

11:26 pm

rururocks

I am staying away from Sugar as much as I can

11:26 pm

Minveryork

I go back to work after labor day. I love spending all this time with my dog. I hate spending all this time w/hubby!

11:27 pm

rururocks

ugh.. still sharing the house.. ?

11:27 pm

Minveryork

I drink soda so I do not do very well with the sugar intake

11:27 pm

Minveryork

Yes, but husband FINALLY agreed to put house on market

11:28 pm

rururocks

FANTASTIC MINVER.. that's fantastic

11:28 pm

rururocks

that's the best news yet

11:28 pm

rururocks

it will be so FREEING for you.. congratulations

11:28 pm

Minveryork

However, who knows how long that will last. He changes his mind like he changes his underwear. Should have him put it in writing. House won't go on the market until Feb.

11:29 pm

rururocks

next time he says it .. make him put it in writing

11:30 pm

Minveryork

Hubby says that he needs time to find a job first. Plus we still have more work to do on it. The only bad thing is I'll lose dog in the end which sucks because I love my dog.

11:31 pm

rururocks

why is that?

11:31 pm

Minveryork

He says that if he has to lose me AND the house he won't lose the dog. However, I have paid for ALL the vet bills.I will let him keep the dog though.I feel do feel bad 4 him

11:32 pm

rururocks

he won't take care of the dog.. you can't leave the dog with him

11:32 pm

rururocks

he can't take care of himself... how do you expect him to care for an animal?

11:35 pm

Minveryork

Think that he will be able to take care of the dog with $$ from his job and my maintenance. I have to pay A LOT of money in maintenance to him since he isn't working now.

11:36 pm

Minveryork

Maintenance is what they used 2 call alimony in case you did not know.

11:37 pm

rururocks

he will not be able to take care of the dog.. that is really clear to me

11:37 pm

rururocks

you can't leave the dog with him .. it would be a huge mistake

11:40 pm

origami

Ugh, Min. Giving up the dog will be a huge hurt. Is it a spiteful move, or does he really want the dog?

11:42 pm

rururocks

if he already cared for the dog he would be paying the vet bills and caring for the dog. He's not worthy

11:47 pm

Minveryork

Right now he has no $$ to pay for the vet bills. However, he does love dog just as much as I do which is why I don't want to take the dog away from him. I can visit the dog.

11:48 pm

Minveryork

Hello origami! How are you doing? Welcome to the chog.

11:49 pm

rururocks

I'm sorry for the dog then

11:53 pm

origami

HI Min. I'm doing all right. Well, I'm glad he does love the dog. You are clearly a very caring person to "grant" him the dog. I am very sorry you have to pay maintenance.

11:54 pm

origami

Back in a bit

11:56 pm

rururocks

i'm sorry minver.. I shouldn't butt in to something like this. I shouldn't have said anything

11:56 pm

Minveryork

I am finished! I have fireworks! no 6/18 was my last word
