Hi Amber, Great painting:) dear, I am so sorry he is that way to both of you:( We'll all be so glad to see you's get out of there and into your own place:bliss:. We all understand and care so much:hug::hug:
Thank you my Jimi love! When we get our own place again, instead of throwing a house warming party I’m going to throw a “got rid of FIL party”

I have the same problem with my computer as you do- I am still using Windows 7 as the free Windows 10 upgrade wouldn't load in mine.
Lately when I come to this Music Game thread it will Freeze and lock my screen - so frustrating as well as You Tube-
So I will not be posting as much on this thread until I get a new computer. Sick of shutting down and restarting my computer every time I am on this thread or trying to get a You Tube video.

Strange, my Win 7 is purring like a cat. Still running perfect other than every morning I get a splash screen reminding me there is no more support for Win 7... I click to remind me later and back to business as usual. My issue is some of my drivers from the Dell XPS 8500 disk was before Win 10. Sounds easy to just download them but still no internet for my Win 10 partition. My upgrade failed so what I did was create a new partition and clean installed Win 10 on it. So it is a matter of downloading the drivers and adding to flash drive while in Win 7 then reboot into Win 10 to install.... A pain in the rump but at least when Win 10 is done, I can then reclaim all the space being used for Win 7... lol

Sorry to hear of both Jimi's and your issues with the upgrade.... My biggest issue is I want to setup windows with UEFI Bios with GPT instead of Legacy Bios with MBR. That way I can enable Secure Boot as well in my Bios. It can be done in Win 10 by using the MBR2GPT.exe but my Win 7 would no longer be bootable. So I am just updating drivers while I have both OS's setup and when all the drivers are in place and everything is working like I want, then I will change over.

I too am using windows 7, to be honest I don't know how to do the upgrade and it seems as though it's a big PITA to do and mine goes crazy when I come to this thread or the other music threads but in a minute or two it clears up. I wonder if it because they are tweaking (working on) the entire forum

Thinking that is more in regards to all the links we use in a page used for music or images so it really pulls on the sites resources when the page is almost full. Not gonna be the one to suggest they use 25 replies per page vs the 50 per page they are using now but that would fix the load on there resources and our issues as well.... Might even fix the TT issues as well with smaller pages.....

Hello guys..... Just stopping by since I am on Win 7 again downloading drivers.... I hope everyone is having a great evening.... I am so researched out but things are coming along... Been a pain trying to do computer setup and work and still have time for sleep and such. Why couldn't Win 7 stop support on the 1st instead of the 14th of January? I was not working then.... Oh well, it's my fault for not keeping up with things... :oops:

Anyhow it is awesome to hear from all of you. Wishing those with computer issues a speedy recovery (Pockets, Snapdragon, and Jimi) Also wanted to say I am glad to hear from Wolfie.... Hang in there sister.... To Amber, that is another great piece of art you did today.... Glad you got out to paint again. To everyone else including those I mentioned before, I hope you guys have a great night full of fun, love, food, and tunes.... Miss you all.... :hug::blowkiss:<3

Thank you my darling! I was so happy to get out of this hell house! We’re not talking to eachother or even looking at eachother. I think he figured it out that I heard everything he said about me. He’s just such a cruel person!

Sorry dear, some people are just too opinionated for their own good..... Sad part is most people don't have the decency to at least say it to you instead of talking behind your back. He's but another cruel person of a cruel world. At least you know who and what he is. Just keep smiling and working your goals and eventually you'll find yourself in a better place physically as well as mentally. Then that smile can become a shit eating grin with 2 middle fingers pointing straight up as you live your life on your terms. So keep smiling little sister. There will be brighter days.... :hug:

That is the problem- way too much to load 50 replies on these pages full of videos and images-
slows and freezes my computer on this thread- just way too much with all the images.
I loaded new drivers as well, but still not completely working well for me.

Thank you love! My husband already said when we get out of here that he’s not welcome in our home. We’re grateful my in-laws took us in, but he’s so cruel to us. And I’m nothing but sweet and nice to the man! I don’t like confrontation so I’m an easy target for him to bully. I talk to my therapist all the time about it. It hurts me so bad because I do everything I can to try and make our presence easy on them. My MIL and I get along great! It’s just him!

Yes the bone broth powder is good, I like the one Organixx has but if you have access to "clean well treated chickens I would save every bone and make my own broth. I posted a recipe for making your own. I used our turkey bones from thanks giving since it was local bird that I knew was "clean" and made a wonderful broth

So you made Thanksgiving into broth! :teehee: I trust my meat more than store bought, but I’m not really 100% sure. I’ll try the powder, I was always adding pea protein to everything I drink anyways, so I’m sure it’ll be fine.

I’ll try the Organixx or Dr. Axe, whichever one is cheaper!

Thanks, Jimi. I’m glad you’re hanging out. My WiFi was off for a bit yesterday and today. Pita! :hug::hug:

Hello my loves. This is the painting I started yesterday and finally finished today.

My FIL was talking a lot of shit about me this morning while I was sleeping in since it was my day to sleep in but I woke up at the right time and stayed in the room listening to him degrade me to my husband. I went to the recovery center where I paint in my pajamas I was so pissed off and didn’t say a word to anyone. I’m still in a really bad mood and upset about it, so sorry my loves and my wonderful MG family... but I don’t feel like playing any tunes today. Only going to be on the VU here and there to try to win one of the flavor contests so I can get more flavors I need as I’m running low. I hope you all understand and forgive me. I love you all! Many hugs sent!

:hug:<3

I loooove that painting, though! People say shit when usually there’s something unrelated bothering them. In any event, it’s only his *opinion*, nothing more. Your opinion and feelings are just as valid! Don’t brood on it, just release it. You can pray for him, but you don’t have to accept his negativity.

Love you, Amber. In laws suck sometimes. I’m sorry!

Hugs and love to you and to Tobe. We’re here for you! :heart::hug::heart:

Thank you love! I worked hard on it!

It’s just hard because he only bullies me. And it could just be because I’m not blood related and grew up with him to be able to talk back.

Love you! Tobes in bed so I’ll give him your hug tomorrow! :hug::hug:<3

That’s exactly why, you’re too nice and polite to tell him off. My MIL used to bad mouth me, too. We came to visit them in NV and we’re going to be there 4-6 weeks. :yikes: I was hiding upstairs most of the time to avoid her. We finally broke down and told his dad, who I love so much, and he asked me if I wanted to go home. I said prolly, and he got on the phone and bought me a plane ticket home! He’s a sweetheart. He said he knew how I felt!! Lol

It’s only temporary for you guys, remember that. You’ll have your own place, and he won’t be able to say shit to you. You’re a loving person, and angry people take it on you. Screw ‘em. :HUG:

Work is so so.... I mean it wasn't as hard getting back into the swing of things as I thought, just my back is still trying to get use to being active. I still find myself happy I get to drive a good amount of the time. If I was standing on the phones or doing the sub station I would be in tears. So my back is a work in process but the more and more I work, the better it will become. They are still easing me back into things. 4 hours here and 5 hours there. Not really doing much for the wallet getting the crap shifts and the crap days but you got to start somewhere. I understand why and as I am glad they are slowly getting me back. Just hope it wont be weeks before they unleash me to my normal hours....

You still staying warm? Been a bit chilly out the past week or two. Saw a few nights at 15 degrees here this week. Figured it is even worse in NY. I'm still basically in the Shanadoah Valley so I got mountains on both sides of me.... It's great for not seeing a lot of the worst weather, but sucks when the weather makes it in between them. Luckily we only saw freezing rain last weekend while many of you guys got snow.

Anyhow I hope you are doing good.... Have a great night's rest. Sweet dreams and good night.... :hug::blowkiss:<3

It seems warm if it’s in the 30’s here! I’m just bundling up in layers galore, even inside. These extremes in cold and heat are really strange. It’s not like it was so long ago when the weather wasn’t this freaking odd!

It’s prolly good they’re easing you into work. I know it will suck for money, but you won’t take the chance of coming home in dire pain in your back. Plus your hands and all!

Hope you get Windows straightened out. What a pain it can be with the drivers! I remember having to reformat the disk a few times and sweating bullets while trying to install the internet drivers.
