" hooray indeed! " @Lynn49 when I read your prior post my immediate reaction was laser eyes towards technical things that simply will not behave! Very happy it was sorted out.

Today I paid $73.00 ( tax included ) for JUST an oil change! gah!! Mr. Lube, I had never been there, will not return.
No extras either ( not like they didn't TRY to up-sell me ). Gas prices down, oil change prices up?

@walkonby , the sad thing is, that's a normal price now. We have a mechanic that we trust implicitly. He'd never try to price gouge us on anything, he doesn't make up problems just to make more money. Yeah, I know, he's a keeper. And he works out of a shop that you'd drive right on by, it probably wouldn't even register that you passed a shop. Anyway, that's about how much DH pays for oil changes on his car. Mine are a little more because my vehicle takes synthetic oil - usually around $90-$95.

Oh man, is it windy here. Hang on to your hats if you go out.

As you may have already guessed, @walkonby, I'm terribly-tech-savy!

All this for the cookbook I want to assemble!!

Try finding an appropriate 3-ring full-page binder that doesn't look like an office binder! Amazon to the rescue once again, and with my new WP program, I'm off and pacing!!

You know...I already have 2 binders of recipes that almost won't close already, plus about 2" of loose pages that I've collected over the past 50 years, but so many of them just aren't our taste anymore, but the hand-written ones by my Mom are precious, so those I'll certainly include in the book and I know our DD will cherish them.

How is everyone else today? It's so quiet here!!

I sent that black cat meme to our DD since one of their cats is black also and she said, "No kidding! We couldn't find 2 of them yesterday!"...hahaha...

Enjoy your day, everyone...I hope it's just more rain for us and not snow!! It's all gone here and if I never see another flake it'll be far too early.

@Lynn49 - your project sounds so very wonderful!

Unbelievable winds out there!

I have asked my BrotherB to send me pictures of my "artfully constructed " Easter egg bunnies. It took me 3 days to construct them. Hardly "professional" quality but made with love, nonetheless.

Hoping that your day and evening are enjoyable.

I want out!!!

I got my DD to email me a snapshot of the ones I repurposed for the Easter/Covid-19 season for the front window sill. lol.

@walkonby - those are SO cute!

Hello everyone! Happy Bright Monday!

We had a nice supper yesterday - my holubtsi turned out yummy, we also had baked ham, two kinds of kubasa, Paska and Babka breads, hard boiled eggs, husband's homemade cheese, cottage cheese, green onions, and horseradish beets.

I am not well again, same stomach trouble, don't really know what is going on. Plus I have regular body aches and pains, especially troubling is left knee pain. My whole left side has been hit with awful sciatica. I have other issues as well, so it's not a good day.

Hope y'all are doing well!

Good morning!!

Oh, I'm so frustrated with this computer this morning!! WP12 in particular!! I can copy/paste words, but it won't let me copy/paste a picture!! It always did before, but today when I need it to? Ohhhnoooo!!!
DH thought he fixed it, it did it once, but not a second time!I am seriously near tears....

On the home front, not much going on, Easter dinner last night was lovely but it's always better with family.

I feel whiny today so I'll stop here before I take my frustrations out on the entire world.

Rainy here too...pathetic fallacy, is what it is....terribly pathetic...

Well, enjoy your day, everyone, at least it's not snowing here.
See? I can be positive today.
I'm positive I hate my computer right now.

Ok....we ordered a new WP program.
AND it works!!

So yay....!!!

@Lynn49 - Another WP user?!We are a dying breed. But I love the program. I'm still using WP12. Which new version did you get? I will probably have to upgrade when I buy a new computer with Win 10 - still using Win 7 (later this year I think).
