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.

And yes, after long days/nights, I'd still like to swing these hunks of glass , plastic and silicon against the nearest wall Come on retirement!

@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.

@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 ...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.

Hey, Porch Peeps!

@SummerOnTheWay1 ...No Super Bowl for me. Since the Eagles blew their chance, I'm not invested in the game this year. Besides, it's PBS night for me. My Masterpiece shows are on back-to-back tonight... Miss Scarlet and the Duke, All Creatures Great and Small, and Funny Woman. Two of them are airing the season finales tonight, so it's a "must see" for me.

Was able to get my PT extended. I feel like it's doing me some good, and I enjoy going there. I have a really nice physical therapist.

Hope you all enjoy the game if you are watching.
