First -
to
"Everyone" for their "Welcome Back' messages . . .
It's somewhat of a pleasant day here being that I am in my apartment - it is partially sunny/cloudy and extremely humid out there . . . Feels Like Temp: 100 . . .
Now to try and catch-up and reply to some of the post, since "My" laptop is now starting to be somewhat temperamental again at times - it decides it wants to take a nap and restart itself . . . I was warned things like this might happen . . . Hopefully, it will get enough rest and keep working for a little while yet, or at least until the back-to school sales and/or holiday sales for computers are around and when they are less expensive . . . Definitively have to keep an eye out for a new one . . . Just Sayin' . . .
Of course we noticed. I noticed but thought you needed some alone time. Glad you’re back.
YEP - At times, some alone time is absolutely necessary . . .
As - I mentioned in another
thread, besides the computer being corrupted - I was having a few not so pleasant things happened . . . One of them was that "My" birthday was in the beginning of last month and 2 days later - A very good friend I've know for over 45 years lost his 5th battle with cancer -
NOT NICE
However, things are starting to look up a little bit, hopefully it will stay that way for a little while too . . . Just Sayin' . . .
@Uncle Welcome back.
So glad you didn't loose your files!

"YOU" ? ? ? While I still had a few of the files backed up from a few years ago, I honestly don't know what I would have done - if "Our" Friend and the "MENSCH" didn't step up and offer to help me out . . . Especially given that I had all "My" pictures (including family photos from pre 1900) scan and uploaded to the computer that weren't backed up too . . .

(BTW: Thanks for the support . . .

)
Hola ..
In truth, I almost posted an inquiry about your absence on more that one occasion ..

.. each time I figured you must have a reason or two and felt like it was maybe to early for me to be nosey ..
'YOU' NOSEY - Never . . . Just Sayin'. . .
Yes, I know. I used to be a big book reader but not in a long time. I don’t if I’ll ever get back to it but maybe.
YEP - Same here . . .
Never though I'd end up so suspicious in my old age, ...but I don't trust anything anymore.
SO AGREE
^ ^ ^ ^
Wonder what the men would say if we told them to lay their pe*** on a shelf and let us squish it? Oh well. THAT'S not ever going to happen.
Maybe not their pe*** - but just image those men who have to have the same mammogram done looking for cancer every so often too . . . Talk about the, PULL - PUSH - SQUEEZE , of someone with a flat chest . . . Oh Yea - then there is the same physical pain that women go trough having that vise machine "CLAMP DOWN". . . Just Sayin' . . . :rolleyes;
AND - As a public service announcement to the males reading this post . . . Lets not forget - like most men do - there is the testicular exams that should be done at least once a month . . .
Either way, hope Ya' made it
through the testing and everything went okay . . .
oh, I guess i should probably get dressed too...

REALLY ? ? ? Would it be that necessary ? ? ?

I don't think anyone here would get upset if Ya' didn''t . . .
OOOO - I use to have a pair of those back in the early 70's . . .
Bet Ya' did too . . .
Then again, I'm not the most social person. I probably have a different perspective on all of this than most people. And the world has moved on, and keeps moving on, leaving me behind, to reflect on what was, in my mind, better days.
The bad thing is, while I use to be very social person (both personally and professionally) and I never thought I would say this - But, I totally agree with "You" . . . Just Sayin' . . .
