I Hate Change!!!

In October, my nine year old Windows 10 computer will be obsolete, so I needed to bite the bullet and upgrade to a new Windows 11 computer.  Since the first two weeks in August are tax free days in Ohio for purchases under $500, I figured better to buy sooner rather than later.  I found a great deal at a local independent store.  The young owner was so nice and really showed me how to navigate the new system.  According to him, differences are minor.  Trouble is when I got it home and DSO set it up, it was not as easy as it seemed to be at the store.  I am hoping I can actually get a blog post done.  Computer guy showed me a really easy way to download photos from my iPhone to my desktop (non Apple product), but of course it is not working for me!!!

So . . . I will see if I can muddle my way thru this.  I don't think anything has changed in the way I do my post . . . fingers crossed.

My son and his girlfriend have two Pomskies (can you believe a Pomeranian/Husky mix???).  They needed to go to southern Ohio for a celebration of life for girlfriend's uncle.  Normally they have a sitter who can watch them, but not this time.  Well guess who is dog sitting?  They are definitely cuties.

Zeke is the older of the two and looks the most like a Husky.  He is about three.

Zala (beautiful in Slovenian) is a year and a half old.

My son has a fenced in yard, so the Zs are not used to going on walks.  Since I don't have one, I am walking their little legs off.

That's it for today.  Hope this post posts okay.  Be back soon.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pomsky hugs 😊

Love/Hate Relationship ~

Look closely.  These sheep are made from old telephones and phone cords.  In my wildest dreams I would not think to do this :)

I am referring to technology, my iPad, and blogger in no particular order :(  

Where to begin?  This will be so disjointed because I just don't know how to tie it all together.

I thought I was having a problem with my desktop computer.  I had to fight to highlight text in order to change a font, size of text, sum a column in a spreadsheet, etc.  It was happening in Word, Excel, and blogger.  DSO to the rescue :)  Did you know your mouse can go bad?  Yup.  It can.  I wish all the solutions were that easy though I struggled for a couple months before asking him about it.

Have you noticed that many blogs are coming up as "not secure"?  Mine was off and on.  I think I have that issue fixed.  I had to go in to settings and change it to secure, but why?  I never changed anything to begin with.

My iPad was ancient.  It would no longer accept updates and would constantly freeze up.  I thought about getting a new one, but just hated to spend the money.  Well, at Best Buy the other day (DSO getting an upgraded phone to help me out since I broke another phone screen - twice.  I think I need an unbreakable Fisher Price phone), I decided to look at the iPads.  I thought they never went on sale, but lo and behold they were $200 off, so I decided to bite the bullet and get one.  Well, it is great . . . except I can't get Messenger.  I click on it and nothing happens and I do use Messenger a lot.  The worst issue is that I cannot leave blog comments from the iPad.  It will not let me comment as Rugs and Pugs which is how I always do it.  It says comment as Google account and when I type something in and hit publish, it just disappears.  It will not give me the option of logging in to my Google account.  Can you say frustrated?  Is anyone else having these issues?  

Sorry for the rant.  I'm hoping I can get these issues resolved.  I hate being so technologically challenged.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Pug hugs :)
