By default, you can perform a mouse click by tapping the touchpad. If I raise my finger and then put it back down on the touchpad again when moving the cursor across the screen, the computer often thinks that I'm tapping when I put my finger back on the touchpad. It can cause strange things to happen on the screen. I always go into the Control Panel and find the hardware settings. Within the Hardware area, you should see setting for the touchpad, where you can disable this functionality. I'm not using a laptop now so I don't know exactly what the setting is called, but it may be something like tap to click. This assumes that you have another physical button someplace that you can press for a mouse click to happen. I had a somewhat similar experience, although not as bad and not with a 6 year old kid. I was on a business trip, checked in, and entered my room. There was a guy on the bed in his underwear watching TV. I don't know who was more surprised. The hotel upgraded me when I went back to the front desk. Thank you for the info. Much appreciated. Settings only has the option that allows me to change touchpad sensitivity. No option to disarm entirely that I could find. No worries since all that crazy clicking disappeared once I plugged in a new mouse. When you have a mouse plugged into a laptop does it take over touchpad function? Seems like it does on mine?? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgmn Posted February 6, 2022 #47505 Share Posted February 6, 2022 (edited) Thank you for all your lovely messages about our Queen. What I find fascinating is she has dealt with and had weekly audiences with 14 Prime Minsters and been kept up to date with affairs of state for 70 years. She must know all the secrets 😀 This is a lovely photo of her with one of the famous Red Dispatch Box's which constantly briefs her on what's happening BBC News - Prince Charles leads Jubilee tributes to 'remarkable' Queenhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-60279585 Edited February 6, 2022 by sgmn 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonTexasNY Posted February 6, 2022 #47506 Share Posted February 6, 2022 My computer issue is thankfully settled. Now I have lab work issues. I made an appointment for lab work, received an email the next day that it was canceled due to building maintenance. OK, that is reasonable. So, I made another appointment for a week later. Received an email the next day with the same canceled info. I wish someone would update their appointment schedule page to delete the days the office will be closed. I made a 3rd appointment at a different location. Hope this one sticks. I loved the days, actually not too long ago, when I was able to have lab work done in my doctor's office. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main doctor works for one of those large, regional medical organizations that employ several hundred doctors in 3 dozen different specialties across 3 dozen office locations. I like it because it's one stop shopping for all my medical needs with my medical history in one place. No need to fill out forms or insurance info every time I visit. They even have several "Urgent Care" locations for impromptu issues & again, they have full access to my medical history and can update it so my main doctor will know next time I visit him. The location my doctor works out of also has a lab and radiology unit on-site. A few times in the past, he'd sent me "downstairs" to get an impromptu x-ray or blood work and told me to grab lunch & come back in an hour to get the results or he'd call me later that night if the results took longer to process. Despite working for such a large "corporate" organization, he never lost that personal, family doctor touch. Best of both worlds. I shudder to think when he retires. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very interesting thank you. Tic Tic Boom is great. I agree Nicole Kidman's portrayal of Lucy was excellent. I really like Power of the Dog. Never saw that ending coming. WOW! I am looking forward to the Oscar nominations announcement on Tuesday morning.Maggie Gyllenhaal has been somewhat overlooked by the other organizations that make nominations.

If you don't have 2 vaccines it is complicated. If you’re flying out of the US to Europe you must show proof of a PCR test before you can board the first leg of your flight. It’s required even if you are triple vaxxed. The requirement could have just changed if the foreign destinations no longer require testing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traveling to the UK a PCR is not required or 2 day lateral flow test for fully vaccinated from March 11th. From the UK to Spain last November only our proof through NHS bar codes of full vaccination was required. Only non double vaccinated need PCR and proof of negative lateral flow tests before travel. Travel to Europe and also to travel back to the UK we need to fill in a PLF passenger locator form 2 days before travel. Graham.

My doctor in Cincinnati had lab work done in her office. Very convenient. I had my first appointment with a new doctor here and was disappointed to find out that I needed to go elsewhere for lab work. However, I went to LabCorp which was directly on the road that I take to go from my house to the doctor's office, and it took about 5 minutes. The have a very efficient, automated check in process that get's your ID from a driver's license and then scan's both sides of your health insurance card. Not nearly the hassle that I thought it would be. It would actually take longer at my old doctor's office. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked Harrison Ford best in the role, but Alec Baldwin was really good in The Hunt for Red October. Great movie if you haven't seen it. Sean Connery is also great in that movie. You piqued my interest, so I looked it up and was surprised to see that Ben Affleck and Chris Pine also played Jack Ryan. I remember their movies now that I've seen them listed but didn't before looking it up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
