No mouse, no touchpad. So grateful I have a touchscreen laptop. Tomorrow comes the new mouse!! And yes I restarted my computer. Nada. Phew, it started working on its own. I did nothing. I had a laptop that did that and if I shut it down and took out the battery, it seemed to reset whatever the issue was for some reason. Once I put the battery back in and turned it back on, my mouse and touchpad would work again. The one time I took it in to be looked at, it was working fine and showed no issues on diagnostics when they turned it on at the store. I ended up eventually just buying a new one as it didn't make sense to put a lot of money into trying to figure out the problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 1990, I interviewed for a job working in the IT dept at UPS. Sames thing as you, they offered me a job but told me I needed to shave my beard. I was okay with that but the deal breaker was no eating or drinking at the desk either. Not even a cup of coffee. I was a coffee addict at the time so I turned down the job. It helped that I had 2 other job offers at the same time, for less money, but at least I could keep my beard and drink coffee at my desk. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dani - You need to click with the right mouse button on the tab at the top of the browser app. That will open a menu with things that you can do with tabs in your browser app. Here's what that looks like for the Microsoft Edge browser. I've highlighted both the tab on which you right-click and the "Duplicate tab" option on the menu that opens. The menu will be different if you are using Chrome or Safari, but you should still be able to right-click on the browser tab and find a menu option that lets you duplicate the current tab. Note that right-clicking works in many, many places when using Windows (maybe Macs also...I don't know). The menus that open when you right-click on something are "context sensitive", meaning that the items in the menu will usually be related to whatever you right-clicked on. Try right-clicking in an empty location on a web page, or on your desktop, or on the taskbar. You might find something useful. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare bobmacliberty Posted February 4, 2022 #47255 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Very nice day here today. Got up to 81F and is currently 78F. Great day for a walk through our neighborhood. We are off to a wine tasting in our local wine store. Hope that everyone is still doing well from any winter storms. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest we all continue as we have been doing. It seems to work very well. I'm sure the very few in the minority who find some posts difficult to read can deal with it on their own terms. Single, multi quotes or + quotes... bring them on! I agree Bonnie! But in the first place nobody asked anyone to change anything! People were just being honest and voicing thier two cents about how they felt about reading one or many quotes. Just as people voice their thoughts on loved ones, un loved ones, food, pets, vacatons, kids, boobs, knees, backs, blood pressure, in law problems, neighbors, tomatoes, TMI's and everything under the stars. I believe it made this thread what this thread is.....something we all want to come back to. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our friends were cruising with us. She banged on my door to let me know there was blood on her bed sheet. In two places. I rushed into her cabin and it looked like blood to me. GS sent someone who said "it's probably wine". Of course he changed the bedding. How's that for an EWWW moment? I would bet the farm it wasn't wine. OK…I just have to chime in with my totally gross moment! Our flight Atlanta-Gatwick was delayed a couple of hours. We arrived Gatwick after 10am and were flying to Nairobi that evening, so we got a room at the Holiday Inn near the airport for a nap and were taking the Express to Victoria Station for some shopping. I took a shower, Dick was already asleep. I got into bed, turned on my side, put my hand under my pillow and encountered a soggy Kleenex. I’m sure everybody within 20 miles heard me screaming. So no nap for us. But that was ok. We were both wide awake. I still regret not complaining when we checked out, but I didn’t want to think about it again. I have never stayed in a Holiday Inn again, though. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ozark_Kid Posted February 5, 2022 #47275 Share Posted February 5, 2022 @Sunshine3601 The garden talk yesterday inspired me to order the seeds I needed. I ordered the Cherokee Purple tomato seeds from a place I have never ordered from. I hope that works out because that is one of my top two favorite tomatoes. Kenzie was just over for awhile. Caden and Aubrey are spending the night. Kenzie is coming back tomorrow and will spend some time while their mom and go out to eat. We haven’t been with them since we got back from the cruise. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
