Would not have thought it would be freezing with a new hard drive, you will have to complain if your still getting problems. Sorry for late replyx

I will keep my eye out for up dates on your new hard drive. I am not bad all things considered, but these heavy skies seem to worsen the breathing, must be the low level smog I guess, it is very overcast here again today. Hope the weather is better with you . xx

Welcome back.

Did you know that most hardrives have a 3 year warranty on them? If completely broke data can be expensive to remove so not always cost effective. Warranty does not cover data on the harddrive.

Be Well

Hello offcut

Thanks for getting in touch , I don't know much about the workings of a computer....Didn't ( don't laugh ) know anything about a hard drive ......

Went on yesterday and it was still playing up.

Keeps freezing up. Sooo now I have to get him back...keep well.

It's so good to be able to communicate,Sheila. I am trying a new broswer - Opera, because slimjet which said it was fast ahs slowed do much and has had som many crashes, I just couldn't carry on. This Opera seems a breeze to operate and I like the speedy pages on the start pages like amazon, Ebay andI've put Sainsbury so I can do my shopping. Very pleased so far. Mic

Yes helingmic it is good to communicate, as long as things work,lol.

I am pleased you are happy with your new browser, you will have to let me know if you are still happy with it further down the line.

I use shopping on line it is smashing, no more looking up and down the aisles. Sheila x

helingmic in reply toetch45

Sheila, the browser is almost beyond my expectations. It links easily with websites you like to go to. It is fast loading. Yes, online shopping is also my experience; and taht needs a fast browser that doesn't stop to "think" why I clicked on an item!

I watch loads of YouTube showing me how to play teh flute, so I can practive before I see my teacher. Opera has a very good sound transmission. so far, I can highly recommend it. Cheers, Mic

So good to be back though I am having to troll through 6210 emails ....... My son is pretty good with the computer but even he gets stumped sometimes.

Insomnia>>>>>>>>I am still plagued with it I also have tried everything to no avail.

Hypnosis !!!!!!! not tried that.

Keep well :-) xx

helingmic in reply toetch45

Sheila and Flibberti, Insomnia, yes, I know it. I go regularly at 10 pm. This insures me that I feel shattered by 10 pm. But I do wake up at around 4 - 4.30. I stopped bothering since, as you say, there's not much one va do about it. So I switch my best station, Classic FM. I take my Kindle and read. Sometimes, I'll go for a hot chocolate. Yet, the kitchen seems so gar and dark! So I stay reading and listening to the flow of Classical music. At least, that cuts my brain from reeling the same thoughts over and over again. I hate that. I tell my brain tat I don't see the point in doing it! After about 1/2 an hour, I shut the light, let the music cradle me for a little bit longer on a 10 or 20 minutes timer. I might doze off or I might just lie there until 6.30 am.

When I get up, I'm always happy of the new day with the prospect of practising the flute. It's such a lovely companion; yet hard to tame! Cheers to you both, Mic

I am just hoping the weather tomorrow will be find to us as I am going on a walk, I am a member of a walking club, ( for the seniors...) but I enjoy it.

helingmic in reply toetch45

Walking is really good for you; it stops osteoporosis. It has been recommended on Radio 4 this morning.

I;m busy at the gym 3 times a week, at other times I practice my flute which absorbs all my time and thoughts. Cheers, Mic

etch45 profile image
etch45 in reply tohelingmic

Yes I do enjoy my walks, though at times I have to push myself.

I go to the gym 2 times a week used to be three but found it a little hard going, then of course I have my garden, I like to potter and now the weather is starting to be kind.... My granddaughter played the flute she does the drums and clarinet also, we don't know where her musical gift comes from as no one in the family has it.

Going for dinner fresh air has brought hunger on... etch45 x
