@SummerOnTheWay1 ...Yeah, had a feeling that Audrey would end up staying. I never really felt that Gerald was right for her although I did like his dog.

No promises but, download an app called Pluto to tv, phone or computer and you might find All Creatures, Doctor Who , etc for free to stream- All you need is computer or smart something.

@SummerOnTheWay1 Have not heard of Hope Street. Share a little bit about it?

@ @catwoman500 I agree no fun to watch TV on computer.

@everyone, sauna update!! Still do not have a thermometer, but we both fit into the 1 person sauna. Started at 5 minutes, up to 15 minutes now but do not know the temperature. No noticeable effects yet. Did sleep pretty well the first night, not so good the next night. Thermometer to arrive Monday!!

Hey @LaDolceVita

How IZ YA? I remember last week that you’d mentioned “All is quiet on the Porch...”

This week, everybody’s been busy here!

But... I’m slow getting round to all...as I can only use 1 hand well now... b/c of the joys of severe arthritis...as it’s eating away at all my joints for dinner lately 😞 ...& about ½ of my keys stick now or won’t work ....so I have to copy/paste some letters to finish sentences...

And yet....I finally....actually... found a clearance sale on a Lenovo IdeaPad 1 14....YEAH! YEE-HAW!!

...but REALITY STRUCK QUICKLY:

after a whole day, it finally finished setup & updating & ready to use....but it was so super slow.... so I thought let’s see if this is ‘normal’...& see what reviews are saying...& the 1st one I saw was from pcmag...it said this IdeaPad 1 14 can: “...browse the web with a single browser tab open or edit a Microsoft Word document without any major lag or sluggishness, but only just. Anything more complex than these types of tasks will likely cause the IdeaPad 1 14 to balk”

Well, >>> I thought the cheap priced ‘puter would be the cure for my ‘ol laptop probs...but with such a short return window...I regrettably had to pack it up & send it back home...☹️ ...

kinda like I did with 1 of my 1st GFs 🙄...hahhaa 😄🙃

Anyway,.... I’ll check back to see how the home sauna story is unfolding...after the thermometer arrives Monday! 😊LOL!

Take care! ⛷ 🏒 ☃️ ☮️ ~Allen 🌈 🎿 ❄️ 🏂

@SummerOnTheWay1 Yes I used to watch Brokenwood Mysteries on Acorn. I will probably start watching it again. I think I have seen about 8 seasons.

We will be going to a special Valentine’s Day dinner this evening here at the retirement center.

Early tomorrow morning I will be going in for Cataract surgery. Given the 2 separate surgeries I will not be posting a lot here. I'm not sure how well I will be able to see to type much on my cell phone. The recovery time will be until the end of March for the second surgery.

As a former blind as a bat 20/2000 close up no problem, to 20/30- couldn’t get 20/20. Now, it’s darn near any distance I’m fine or need cheap readers.

You’ll enjoy the new lenses, just don’t run out without those welding goggles.Dang it’s bright outside.

Stretch And others had them.

Be nice to the giver of drops until the little bottles are emptied, and the eye covers are through covering your eyes.

Caught glimpses of my eyelashes for months, whiskey tango…Stopped reaching for my glasses, after a month.

It’s a lovely 14* and white particulate matter is falling from the sky. good day for a fire in the stove.Spring will come when it happens, maybe May or June with a glimpse on Wednesday.??

No boats anywhere until lakes thaw out, around 12” need to melt.Until then it’s. My Rangeley included.

Gaia answered my prayers and sent a care pkg of Bustelo from Miami.Cafecito soon!😎👍

My morning as the kids were waiting for the bus on the main drag, they were bundled up.

Hi Froze @Frozenoem

In Gaia’s thought-provoking & inspirational message, I was told that ....I am delicate like the wind....to be gentle on myself...& just focus,...to BE....& then a dragon fly came by....

Gaia also told me a care pkg of Bustelo from Miami Cafecito was sent to someone...from a FROZEN space...so it had to be you.....LOL!!

BTW: How do you prefer your CUPA Café Bustelo? IMHO there are a variety of ways, such as just black, you can also add sugar and/or cream....& works well with flavored syrups, brown sugar & other sweeteners, & any kind of frothed milk on top to make for a delicious hot or cold beverage. But also there’s the Café Bustelo Supreme, which packs an even bigger punch as it's made from 100% Arabica beans! YEE-HAW!!!!

Maybe we can even meet in the main original Café Bustelo

Anyway....

I hope that you...are safe & warm in your place!

Take care! ⛷🏒☃️☮️~Allen 🌈🎿❄️

@Therapist4u

Cuban style “Cafecito”

I’ve been using the same MOKA pot since the 60’s, and -“crema” pitcher for mixing, only difference from rrecipe above is I use a fork to mix.

I was happy when Walmart and other stores started selling Unbleached Cane Sugar. Easier than driving down to Florida or flying and returning with 20-40 lpounds of sugar and Bustelo,

I just wish. The supply chain for sugar and Bustelo was better, luckily nephews in West Palm and Miami

send me Care Pkg when I run out of happiness.

Got old really fast loading sugar and Bustelo into the storage pod on roof of Class C or camper, or army surplus tanker bags for checked baggage.

Now, it’s time for lunch with Cafecito, and a side of

Haitian piclise, couple of spoonfuls of that cleans your sinuses out and heats internally from head to toes.

My first Cataract surgery went well! Today I started my first round of three types of drops four times a day. I can watch TV without glasses fairly well. This will get over the next couple of weeks.

Hi Dave @DaveMcK Glad to know your 1st surgery went well! Hopefully this will bode well for your 2nd one!

So your phone must have been behaving now too...AMIRIGHT? LOL! BTW: How was your “special Valentine’s Day evening dinner at the retirement center”??! And while I’m at it....Happy Belated Valentine’s Day!

OK... Since I had earlier wished you a Happy Belated Birthday as well....then I want to jump the gun & be the 1st to wish you a:

Happy Happy 🍀 🍀 St. Patrick’s day!🍀🍀

Anyway...stay safe & warm ...

Take care!

We were under a winter storm watch, and the trucks were out treating the roads, but woke up this morning to bright sunny, albeit cold & windy, skies. ☀️🌬️ Whew! I think we may have gotten a quick shower, ground was a little damp. Nothing crazy. @Frozenoem , keep the snow.

@DaveMcK , so happy all went well with cataract surgery. The biggest PITA for me was the regimen of eye drops that follow, but going from 50+ years of wearing contact lenses to wearing nothing was almost like a miracle!

@SummerOnTheWay1 , by Willie Mae's mansion, if you are referring to the branch stuck in the roof, it's still there. What can I say? It's plugging the big hole.

@LaDolceVita , glad to hear the sauna is in operation and you are partaking of its benefits. Ahhhh.

@SummerOnTheWay1 ...I have seen the clips of that one and it looked really cute. Not sure what time it comes on my PBS station, but I think it's when I'm watching something else. Another one I should try to catch up on somewhere, sometime.
