Sheesh! So you'll have to make a few more keystrokes than you're used to making. Poor you!
Yvonne, it is so not about keystrokes. I find these type of comments unhelpful and a bit upsetting. If I, as an IT professional, can’t find a work round then please cut everyone some slack on this. It is about screen size. Our phones do not equate to your kindle whatever you think.

The iPad is usable, but doesn’t have a cellphone signal and I don’t carry it round with me all day. Even when I take it with me to meetings, I don’t generally get to put it on wifi... or I if do, because the schools filter their internet connections, I cannot get to social media sites (and TFO is correctly classed as a forum in the social media category)

Oh yeah I understand. I have been living with constant pain with lower back and arthritis in my ankles( at this time ankle :)). Since my early 30's. But my pain threshold was high. So I got used to it. I thought I was being tough not letting the pain slow me down.
Those days are over:(. I think age for me has contributed to that. Dont know if it has made me wiser or weaker :D
Yes, there is nothing like age to remind us of our aches and pains. And I will take the wiser part, the weaker just sound weak.;)

Well goodmorning everyone, hope you all have a good hump day. After PT and OT yesterday. Like I said to another member here that I am so sore. It hurts when I blink o_O. But it's all good. Soon I will be posting video of me walking. With assistance of course. ( cane, walker).
I know if I lose some weight. I might be able to walk independently. Been over a week and no cheating on the diet :confused:
Well Done!!

Good mornooning all

I started yesterday at the rescue and had to clean out the cutest 3 week old hedgehog born at the rescue . Mum is doing a good job raising him and is very displeased by being disturbed, but just occasionally the quantity of poop means we do have to do it. I am one of the few volunteers trusted with this.

We have an escaped patient in the unit I was working in... still not caught at the time I left :D

I also had a lady on her second day training with me and when she left at 1pm a student on her first day training with me.

I sprinted home when we finally finished, changed and went back out in 10 minutes flat and headed up to London to see a concert at the Royal Festival Hall. This is a view over the river Thames from the RFH as the sun was etting :)

LOL. Actually it is sometimes easier working on the computer. Typing most certainly is easier, pictures however are not. As it will be more involved to get them uploaded.
But all it means is that on weekends and holidays I will not be coming online.

Yvonne, it is so not about keystrokes. I find these type of comments unhelpful and a bit upsetting. If I, as an IT professional, can’t find a work round then please cut everyone some slack on this. It is about screen size. Our phones do not equate to your kindle whatever you think.

Oh is that what Yvonne meant. Lol completely flew over my head. I cannot get on TFO on my phone via browser as a while back by accident I somehow disabled the link to TFO via browser. Don't ask me what I did, because I don't know and I don't know how to put it back. so for me the only means is via my work computer at work.

No it didn't. If you understood that I was pulling your chain, just kidding, then you got it right!

Hello you lovely people, how's y'all day going?

Overcast. Hot. Humid. ...but no sunshine. Bla

But.....I’m still on my “high” of sunshine and H2O from yesterday’s kayaking!

One of our break spots where I’m thinking of a cooler weather overnight camping location.
