Today I'm Going to Try to do Better

Not that I don't try everyday, but the last couple days my laptop has been against me in participating here in myLot. Posting, reading, and commenting has been a major chore as the arrow chases its tail trying to determine whether it will allow me to work here and interact or it will give me a timeout error.
I simply gave up last night as the arrow never did stop chasing it's tail. So hopefully that won't be the case again today and I will actually make a dent in the now large number of notifications I have as a result of my being unable to participate as I would like to.
So here's to my seeing you today and reading your posts and interacting with you. Thanks for reading.

I just got back from a short grocery trip and checked on towers before coming back to myLot. I hope my laptop will still behave even though I checked sales on them, and found some real good sales on towers right now. Half what they were after Christmas.

@Jessicalynnt I don't think it's Christmas money, more like tax refund money.

I know how frustrating it is. I have got my beloved PC back today and I am winging away catching up.

That's great! I hope you'll be able to catch up. I've well over 200 to get caught up on. Yesterday was a good day, and I'm hoping today will be as good. But I'm already seeing error boxes.

I get a lot of timeout messages. For me, I have found that I usually can get in earlier in the day. Also, if I am having a hard time reading others' posts I put one of my own. I may get a timeout message, but the discussion goes up and then I can get in. I know how frustrating it is.

Isn't it amazing the tricks we learn to overcome our machines to get some work out of them?
I get my new tower in two weeks.

Third Wednesday is when I'll have my next SS check. So as soon as it's in the bank, I'm going to Best Buy.

I get my new tower in two weeks and then this should be history.
