Good evening, all.
Been a while.
Claudia, I blame you for the latest addition in my apartment (but in a good way). I've had Mac computers in my life, off and on, since the first one back in 1984. I sold my MacBook to my niece (she needed a computer, I had 2, she couldn't get a new one, what the hell) and have semi regretted it ever since. Then my DIL got a iMac 27. Then Claudia got an iMac 27. Today, I have an iMac 27. It's a refurb 2014 model, but that's cool (has the fusion drive and was about $400 less than a new model). I'm happy.

Wire me some!
Memory music for sure!
Was never a huge fan, but I do love the dr. Pepper commercials with lil sweet.
Oh but isn't it pretty?
I'm used to getting blamed for everything so it's ok if you blame me as long as you don't bill me. lol
I am having one small problem though, ever since the latest OS X update on a fairly regular basis it will either slow down and beachball requiring a force restart, or fail to wake up from a screen sleep completely and again require a force restart. It seems to be related to using either Firefox or Safari for a long period of time. I really don't think it is a hardware problem, or very much hope it isn't since the closest Apple store is over 2 hours away.
I never owned an album. But he was incredibly talented. Wrote for everyone, often under false names to avoid fanfare

Yes, yes it is. I'm glad to be back in the Mac world.
And, perhaps 'blame' was a bit extreme. I sold my MacBook about a year ago and have missed it ever since. My DIL's purchase and yours simply tipped me over the edge and moved me to do what I wanted to do in the first place. So, for that, I thank you (and her).
I do hope you get your problem resolved. I can relate to the distance to the nearest Apple store. The closest one to me is in Indianapolis, about 120 miles. We do have an authorized repair shop here in town however (I used them when my MacBook's motherboard died).
I've done a lot of reading about this problem, apparently a LOT of people are having it since the most recent OS update, I came across one guy who is apparently working with Apple to solve it. Obviously it is on their end and I'll just wait it out and hope they come up with a fix soon, it isn't all that bad but worried me. As long as I know it is a software bug and not my pretty new shiny going south I can be patient, it's not that big a deal, just a nuisance.
I really do love this thing and can't imagine going back to Windows even though I am still using it on my laptop.

I'm giving my Windows laptop to my brother tomorrow. I'm running Parallels on the Mac and have a Win 10 virtual machine that I'll use for anything PCish that I need to do. I also created a Mac vm using the restore partition. That's for experimenting so I keep my physical machine as pristine as possible.
A goal that I've set for myself now that I have this is to create a Mac version of an ejuice recipe/calculator program. It gives me an excuse to learn new programming languages and skills. I know...nerd stuff but I'm a left brain type who's artistic talents only show up when I'm programming.

Happy Friday
And a very Happy Friday to you!!
You pretty much lost me with most of this, but I really like the idea of a Mac version of an eguice recipe/calculator.
Maybe IOS too?
Morning in here! Any fun plans for the weekend?
long weekend here. I ordered a dvd off ebay that i was hoping to get yesterday
[movies are such a rarity for me, i never looked into netflix etc]so not much at all... you?
Busy day in and out. Have to adult part of the day. But tonight is karaoke with a chance of drunk posting so there's thatlong weekend here. I ordered a dvd off ebay that i was hoping to get yesterday
so not much at all... you?
1000 miles of northbound slog.
That doesn't sound like a fun plan. Hope it goes well1000 miles of northbound slog.
Unfortunately next week is our semi-annual gathering of all the folks who normally work from wherever they are, so I need to be there too. The boss can't ask employees to do something he's not willing to do himself, right?That doesn't sound like a fun plan. Hope it goes well
Have you heard of the Wright brothers? Amazing, modern technology

Yes, I have. In fact, roughly 25 years ago, I got a certificate to operate the technology in question, and I owned this example of the technology for a number of years:
Sadly, I'm not in a position to own one that's truly practical, and I find the level of BS you have to put up with to fly in the back of a cattle-car to be close to insufferable. Hence I will only do that when absolutely necessary.
Tomorrow is my once a year evening to host my Bunco ladies...after 25+ years you'd think I wouldn't be running around like a chook with my head cut off, (sorry Doggie) but...nope, still do
Morning boof heads.
No rest for the wicked
plenty of errands to run and things to clean and bills to pay unfortunately. How's you?
Pretty good. Thanks. Not much of a day hereNo rest for the wickedplenty of errands to run and things to clean and bills to pay unfortunately. How's you?

Eh, could be worse, at least I get to eat this (for those not from Cali it's an In and Out Double Double and Animal fries)

sounds like my trip back from Long Beach, CA! LOL. The seat in a big truck is so much more comfortable than any car I have driven (and I have driven a few....I like to drive). 600 miles in the semi is about the same as 400 in the car.
Disturbing. To say the least.
Where is Jameson's share? Did he get a burger of his own?Eh, could be worse, at least I get to eat this (for those not from Cali it's an In and Out Double Double and Animal fries)
So much cute.No burger, but I did get him some fries
That is torture, I haven't had anything close to In'N'Out in nearly 18 years, it is probably the thing I miss most about Cali.Eh, could be worse, at least I get to eat this (for those not from Cali it's an In and Out Double Double and Animal fries)
Well, my weekend slog is done. Almost exactly 16 hours driving, and about 38 gallons of diesel burned. Obviously, I don't drive a semi, but do have a very comfortable vehicle.
