ALWAYS put your docs in a heavy duty zip lok bag(s), regardless where you store 'em during a storm!!!

What about the ones I have in the Cloud? @MikeE3, the advantage to me of Cloud storage is that what you put there is available to you from any device you might be using wherever you might be. Plus, the savings on heavy duty ziploc bags of course.

I definitely see the advantages of seeing your 'stuff' from any device from anywhere you have internet connection. I just haven't had that much of a need for that kind of access, except for my email kind of. My email is mapi based so my email's inbox is auto sync'ed across all my devices because it's basically cloud based.

I hate having to go through all of the setup steps on a new laptop. I am taking a break right now. I need to do a better job of passwords. I think I said the same thing the last time I killed a laptop.

Man do I hear that Jerry. It is crazy especially if you use a lot of different programs like I'm sure you do. I got Ginnys set up really easily because all she needed was email and Chrome at least for now got to hope she gets feeling good enough to be able to use it. When I got mine it took a couple days and a lot of swearing.

I've keep my password file on my computer since the 'beginning of passwords'. Recently, I've been keeping a copy of that file on my iPhone also. On the iPhone the file is password protected in case I lose the phone, at least someone would have to crack that password before getting access to my master list of passwords. For some un-well-defined reason I don't like/resist storing it in some cloud service.

Yep I've used Robo Form for a few years so I can go to any computer and log in and have everything there. They update it a lot but it seems to be really safe. I had a bunch of things on the Verizon cloud and when I tried to move it over a bunch was lost. Now I use iCloud.

I can't believe it is already Hurricane season again. I would hate that, might be exciting for about 10 minutes but I'd be scared poopless.

I been just allowing my browser to remember and then sync it. I was surprised that win10 that I just got was so easy to set up. Wifi/ethernet easy. Certainly blows my 9yr old win7 away!!

This has not been a good week for me. Some may remember I spilled water and lost the A and S keys on my laptop. Well, yesterday I had a spasm and dumped half a cup of coffee.on my laptop. The snap and crackle sounds along with a white screen of death leads me to suspect that there there is no CPR that can revive the laptop. My daughter said she is going to make my desk a no drinking zone!

Don't you hate it when that happens. I have them but not too bad. Ginny has em bad. She had an attack yesterday she was standing up in the kitchen and she said "Come Here!!" I got over and her whole body was trembling. I thought she was going to pass out. She hasn't been eating very well at all, getting her protein supplements in but food just tastes terrible to her a lot of the time. Could be my cooking but I don't think so. This damned chemo gets worse everytime. I'm glad she gets a couple extra weeks this time for the b'day party. I have been getting so tired lately, went from sleeping 7 hours to sleeping about 10+ and I'm still tired when I wake up. Grandaughter will be here on the 24th. I'm going to need it by then, we are planning a 3 day trip and the day after we get back she starts another 3 day regimen of Chemo. Alyssa will be here with Baby Bubba. She has all these things she wants me to do to the house and I just don't feel like doing anything including just making calls. I told her she can arrange things and I will pay the cost. So the day after we get back she has a heat vent clean out scheduled for while we are gone at chemo. It's never been done in the 20 years we've been here so it probably needs it. This area is really dusty to start out with.


She is making me come up with one thing I am thankful for everyday because of my bad attitude. I tried to tell her I'm under a lot of stress, like 24/7. Have to follow Gin around anytime she gets up and take care of everything now with this broken ankle. @Iffy I have to admire you for doing what you have been doing for as long as you have. You are my inspiration.

Yes. I posted one a few days ago also... you must have blinked.

 

[2legsshrt]

@bigbells you think it will be safe in a motel. I can understand you wanting to go somewhere, you do live in a manufactured home right? A lot of trees around there too by the pics. Man I complain about the heat and the cold but having to live with Hurricane danger would be really tough.

Let me recommend LastPass password organizer. It keeps a copy of all your login information "in the cloud" so it covers your computers, tablets and smartphones. There are other password managers; this just happens to be the one I like. You could lose or destroy every device you have and when you get new ones, just install the LastPass App and log in (DON'T forget your master login and password) and you are back up and running.

She needs to eat. Ask her what she thinks sounds like something she could eat, get it for her no matter what it is. When I was so sick post surgery & in the hospital for s month they were giving me an anti nausea med that made eberything taste terrible. The only thing I could imagine tasting right was strawberry yogurt. Had to be strawberry. All the hospital had was vanilla. I lost 73lbs between the month in the hospital j as nother month in the skilled nursing facility for rehab. Mom had to keep lots of strawberry yogurt on hand so I'd have something to eat until my system straightened up again. We went thru the same thing with my Dad when he was getting chemo for the same thing Ginny has. We just got jim anything he thought he could keep down. No matter what it was. Grits with butter & a poached egg in them was one he asked for. Not a high flavor meal but he could eat it & keep it down. Too much flavor or too much aroma made him ill. So bland stuff just to get some food in him.

Yep I try but I'm dealing with a stubborn Czech, one things she likes is scrambled eggs. She's having fried rice tonight but if I keep hounding her she just gets mad. And nothing sounds good at least what culinary skills I have to make.

Scrambled eggs sounds right. Not an overly flavorful thing.

Ok, we all need a laugh so I'm telling on myself.

I made shrimp, salad & steak fries for supper tonght. I had salads plated, & frozen precooked shrimp in a bowl of water to thaw & stay cold while i made cocktail sauce & waited on the fries to bake. Put the colander in the sink for draining the shrimp. So far so good! Fries done, so I called Mom to come fix her plate picked up the colander, turned sideways to the sink & poured the bowl of shrimp right into the colander. Guess what I did wrong.

I haven't seen so much rain since I left the Pacific NW.

We saw our first since June last night. Might have been heavy dew a few times...

That's what we get in NW New Mexico. A carefully calibrated sprinkle with just enough drops to make little mud spots on the windshield. Obviously, our air is not as clean as we like to think.

 

[DavidOck]

Seattle (I'm south sound) set the daily record for worst air this summer on two days... Hasn't been anything thing to wash the air. Or put out the fires...

The train went off the tracks as soon as you turned sideways to the sink.
