Follow the Yellow Bouncing Ball

Today has been an interesting day so far for me and my computer. Do you recall those music shows in the past and even some kids shows and cartoons that have songs on them with the musical ball to help you sing along? Well after I wrote about how bad my Internet was behaving it started bouncing as well, so reading posts and writing comments got quite interesting. Now that I'm through the first round of notifications, yeah, I'm surprised about that too with all the problems I've been having today, I'm going to take a break and allow my computer to rest completely. Yep, shutting it down for a little while. I don't know what I'll do though. I could read - Harry Potter is really good. I could do the dishes or other housework. Or I could watch a movie. I'll let you know what of those three choices I did when I come back. You all take care and follow the yellow bouncing ball. Thanks for reading.

Since I have been searching for work at home jobs and I signed up here this computer/Internet has been taking up a lot of my time. Only if I can find the right work at home gig that I can truly make money from this would make my family and I very happy.

@BruceRed You have me asking why not? God's creation is more luxurious than anything man can design and build.

I found something on Netflix to watch. I'm not going to get through this round of notifications. It's still almost as bad as when I left, it's just not bouncing.

It's the computer. It's used, so I have used headaches. It's also an older model with updated Win 10 on it. I love Win 10, but the Internet on it is driving me nuts.

Are you having shockwave flash driver problems like many of us have periodically? If that's the case it's quite annoying. If it's something else causing your computer woes, I'm not sure what it might be, but giving your computer a reboot should help. If it's the flash player, I'm wondering whether my having certain sites opened is what's drawing the problems. I'm trying to keep all extraneous tabs shut and it's been behaving for me the last day or so. Are your books awaiting a second edition all completed? If not that's another option for your time away. Enjoy the rest of your day, I'll be heading to work soon.

Shockwave did have a lot to do with it yesterday. It's so much better today. I hope your day goes well.

I hope your computer gets back into shape. I had some issues just after guarantee period was over and I had no choice but to discard it as suggested by the repairman; it was not worth the cost involved - siva

reading is definitely good, I have a little pile to read. The latest is the theory behind the enneagram. The ennegram is a personality test based on the principle of Christianity. There are 9 type of personality and each type is prong to a specific type of fixation, which is somewhat tie to the deadly sins. e.g. my personality type 8, has vegenance as a main fixation

@just4him ya my personality type can grow into 2.. which came with its own fixation "ingratiation".. the central theme is that regardless of what our types, we are always subjected to vices, temptations, fixations, and pitfalls. which are tied to the 7 deadly sins.. so our real hope is to realise this and work on it

@just4him Sometimes, I just feel the need for a good laugh, but it is hard to find a good one. They tend to like to put out a lot of potty humor and I do not like that.

@mom210 Yes they do, that's why I if I want good comedy I go to Netflix and hunt down comedies from the time I was little, when potty mouth wasn't allowed on television.

There used to be a music show on TV called "Sing along with Mitch" and I think he had a bouncing ball on his lyrics. My parents LOVED that show! And we would sit together as a family and sing! It really was fun and something I haven't thought about in ages! :D
