Computer Problems


Welcome to the month of June! I'm sharing one of my favourite ice cream flavours at Baskin Robbins ice cream. It's kiddie sized mauie brownie madness yogurt ice cream in a cup. I also love their chocolate fudge ice cream but currently they don't seem to be stocking it. What's your favourite ice cream flavour?

The power button on my Windows computer is sticking.  Husband M backed my files up for me just in case.  These Windows computers seem to last a couple of years then they break.  Daughter L says it's time for me to get a Mac as they last a long time.  I am seriously considering this as I mostly do web based activities anyway.  Meanwhile my computer apparently goes into sleep mode when I am not using it.  My plan is to not shut it off at least for a few days, let it just go into sleep mode so that I don't have to press the failing 'power on' button too often.

Bomb diggity and a Leading question

I just have a few miscellaneous thoughts today.

I've been seeing this new word 'bomb diggity' in a couple of places and got curious enough to google its meaning.  Sure enough, I found a definition in an urban dictionary meaning it's a new word!
It means totally awesome, very very cool!  Have you noticed this new word anywhere?

Here is a leading question for you.  Do you believe that shopping malls are threatened by the internet era as people start to shop online more?  This article brought the question to mind.
At one time, I wondered if the cinema would become outdated, but it has not. People still need somewhere to gather and socialize in person!

My husband M, my son K and I were in a Swiss Chalet restaurant recently. This Canadian chain is popular with senior citizens. There was an older man and his mom sitting at the table next to us. M heard the man say to his mom 'It's my CFO's birthday tomorrow, I'll have to remember that'. His mom said 'What's a CFO?' The man answered 'Chief Financial Officer'. Then I heard him explain further 'He's an accountant at one of my mining companies'. At which point I realized he must be really wealthy! I guess 'wealthy' doesn't have a 'look', they were casually dressed, he wore jeans, nothing special.

Finally, the monitor on my computer overheated and blacked out. My husband M was able to bring it back but if it happens again that might be it. We were able to backup whatever files we thought were important but the whole thing is upsetting.  So I am looking around for a new laptop.  This is the 2nd one on the fritz, they seem to last for just a couple of years.    I don't want another HP as this one has overheating issues.  The older one was a Dell. So i have 2 partially working computers, we even have an ipad but I'm still more comfortable with windows.
