Is there a chance she could phone someone knowledgeable and they could talk her through a fix? Does she use Windows operating system? Is the problem in the software or the hardware?
It's one I never heard of until hers. Probably not spelling i right-Linex

Oh dear, I know nothing about that. [emoji853] I'm good at Windows...I'm so sorry I can't help her. It's a sad situation. She doesn't know me at all, but please tell her I would have helped if I could.

I am going to say goodnight now.
My nasty neighbours are having a new fence tomorrow and I need to be up and ready to make sure they don't try to cross the boundary.
Don't trust them at all!!!
So Nos Da all and take care
See you soon.

Fingers crossed that the fencing goes up without incident

Please keep this in mind when decorating your tank. Carefully feel all edges, and watch the size of holes in decor. Fish, like torts, will get themselves stuck.

Won’t they just. One of our clown loaches got itself so firmly wedged in a hole that JoesDad literally had to yank it out by the tail. We were amazed it survived... and did so for many years. There was a red line by the tail that never went away though [emoji849]

There is something quite strange going on in my living room.
It's all quiet in here - no tv or radio on - but every now and again I hear what sounds like a donkey braying!!!:confused:
Only a small donkey, because it's not that loud and I certainly can't see a donkey!
It seems to be coming from different parts of the room so whatever it is must be moving around....very strange.
I am wondering if it could possibly be a frog that has come in while the doors were open today but I don't think I've ever heard a frog make a noise like that.
I am going to get my fishing/butterfly net and have a look for my visitor!!!
I'll be back..............................................or will I?o_O
Sounds like you're on a kick-*** mission! Please be careful :eek:

Well I've just found my intruder!!
It's my mobile phone!!:D:D:D:D
No wonder the sound was moving around it was in my pocket!!
I've only had this phone for a couple for months - it's a cheap spare I bought when the touch screen on my other went berserk.
I haven't heard it before but it has a weird battery low signal that does sound exactly like a donkey with a sore throat!
So mystery solved! I can rest easy in my bed tonight!:rolleyes::)
ROFL! I don't re-call a funnier story in the CDR in a while!

Yes...I had a platy get caught in a piece of cholla wood. (cholla is a type of cactus here).
She had her head out one side and her tail out the other. I cut the wood apart, but she was terribly injured and died that night.
This is the cholla, since removed from the tank, and the fish might be the one that died. She's very pregnant in this picture!20190331_235457.jpeg

All caught up now. Good Saturday all. Have fun. We are going home this morning. And as much as it was nice to get away, I miss my bed. My neck did not like the hotels pillows and my back did not like the mattress. Sigh I sound like an old woman. Oh well, me and my bed will be happy to meet up again later. Ciao for now.
Safe trip back, Carol! Hope you don't get cot in the traffic. ;)

Good morning all. A bright but chilly Saturday here.
I am going to try to go for a walk in my shoes today - if I can find a pair that fits my newly shaped foot comfortably.
Time to try to move on from the boot I think.
If that goes OK I am going to try driving next week.
I'm getting very impatient and I have lots to do that I need my car for.
So fingers crossed all will be well.
Hope everyone has a good Saturday!!
Oh, do take it slow, Lyn! I can imagine how it is for you, but do take small steps at a time.

An older couple that I used to know when I was in the turtle club called and asked if I wanted some potted plants because they were getting to old to be able to care for the plants anymore. I said yes, of course. One of the pots only had a couple of sticks sticking up, and a lot of oxalis covering the dirt. The sticks have started to sprout now, and it looks like it might be a fig tree with two trunks. Now I have to decide where in the yards I'd like another fig tree!
Of course, you got yourself more work, Yvonne! :eek:

Well darn.. it’s been so long since we heard about them, I was hoping the had moved.. g’night Lyn
Sadly not but it has all been relatively quiet over the winter.
It's the spring and summer months when they are at their worst - effing and blinding in the garden at full volume!:(
I'm not sure, but I think the gobby daughter and her family have moved out so that would be a bonus if she has:)
