WOW, that is scary, well, I have not used it since being here, so, that is good, I would not use it now even if it was sold here. No wonder it is not sold in New Zealand.

Hello Beloved Golden Eagle Friends

Just a quick note to tell you that I will be taking leave from CF and GE 50+ for a while.

The Lord is calling me to spend more time with Him, our family and some old school mates on FB, and especially to enjoy retirement with my beloved Hubby.

You have been such a blessing to me the past 5 years; be assured you will all be in my thoughts and prayers

Feel free to PM me any time to say hello or if you have a prayer need; my door is always open to you!

Until we meet again ~ God bless you
Gail

Hi Susie

We are grateful for everyone's prayers

Mary is [PTL] full of good cheer and is persistent ~at persevering
this-morning for example, she managed to eat
two pieces of bacon and, some skinless sausage [as it comes]
ie: without mincing in the processor
She can also manage biscuits and moist cake

I feel that we are on a learning-curve
~finding what she can tolerate [without-processing into mush]
The more she nibbles at... AND the more often, that she does that
will reduce the nourishment that she may become deprived of

We are hoping
that as the chemo treatment progresses, she will, become better able
to swallow foods that have become 'such a steep hill', for her to-climb
and so.... regain some weight

Mary has shown no sign, of energy loss / lethargy
which would 'indicate' that she was 'giving-up and, succumbing' [?]

Mary is 'watching' her weight on the scales ~willing them to show improvement
and every little 'gain' she announces, gets praise from me
and also encouragement ~to snack on anything and everything
The cupboards and fridges contain many different items of desserts and soups
and we have so much Dietary Supplementary foodstuffs
~from the pharmacy
that we could run our own shop for a week, at-least
Plus, chocolates, sweets, ice-cream and seven different cereals

We are in His hands.....

ETA:
Mary is happier, now that she is able to keep [what she has eaten] down
and hasn't needed, to resort to the anti-nausea meds since the second day [after the chemo infusion]
The chemo treatment CONTINUES in tablet-form twice each day
AND, while there remains some 'echoes' of the earlier nerve-endings sensitivity [post chemo treatment]
it is more-tolerable / less of a nuisance factor




your Bro'

That is wonderful news, I will continue to pray.

Wonderful news...amen!!!!!!

I am indeed 'so-grateful' that I am able to say those things
for, I can, SEE ~the 'reports to the contrary', that I might otherwise be posting ....


Let us remain confident
via the strength that only He can provide for us
by His grace and mercy

\o/ Praise The Lord \o/

I 'tried-out' that Bing Desktop for a while

While I have 3 Gbs Dual Processor and 3+ Gbs of RAM in my computer
I did 'notice', a sometimes persistent 'hang' / 'wait' time ~between pages
while I could hear my computer, being 'really-busy'

So, yesterday, I opened task manager to observe memory usage
during a 'really-busy activity' and I was experiencing 'delays' navigating pages [here]

WHAT DID I FIND ???

There were four instances of BD 'ticking-over' in 100's of thousands of BITS

There were
# 'two' instances of: Bing DesktopServicehost ~ticking over like:
the altitude-counter [in inches] of a launched Space Shuttle
and another instance, # BDUpdater.exe, acting similarly
and also # BingDesktop.exe, trying very hard, to catch up with the others

My reason for installing it [originally]
was it's published ability, to be "MORE-SECURE" but, my experience with it, has me asking myself
"More secure for whom ?" ~"ME or Microsoft ????"

Was Microsoft, downloading my 'usage logs'
OR,
was it 'grabbing my Memory Space/CAPACITY'
to increase it's own computing power, as a part of some 'built-in' NET CONNECTION ?

Well, the upshot of the above
is, that Bing Desktop is, of this last hour, "HISTORY" and good riddance

It's offering of PRETTY PICTURES [for the desktop]
is of 'no-benefit' to me ....NOT! while it controls ALL, of my networking access
and leaves me wondering,
WHY is my computer suddenly accelerating [overclocked ?] while WORKING on Bing Desktop's BUSINESS ???

Looking ahead, I see Mary and I, falling offline ~AFTER MARCH 14th [this year]
ie: when Microsoft, ceases to support 'Windows XP'
So, I mentioned this, to Mary's son 'Andrew' [computer engineer]
and asked him whether we could 'make' ISO copies of our operating-systems
so in case of failure [crashes] we could then in any case, reboot working systems

He mentioned LINUX type systems, [*open-source] like 'ubuntu'
and I will look into these over the next, almost, two months
I do have our 'important stuff' [programs/pics/correspondence] on 'external drives'
and therefore, we need have no concerns re: their loss

I would be interested in the views of other USERS of Windows XP
especially, how they themselves,
intend to get past the ending of support for XP ?

My hubby still uses xp....but I don;t know what he will do about the change...I am using windows 7 (I think).

My big disappointment has been with Adobe going to the cloud....we no longer can purchase their products...just rent them.
