Again With The Password...?

Damn it, I did it again.

I just got home from my usual monthly go to the doctor for a prescription appointment so I'm running late. 

Good news, the doc and I decided to change my monthly appointments to every six weeks. If this holds I'll only need to go 8.6 times per year rather than 12. The .6 is going to be a problem.

So, I'm running late and this computer is running like it has molasses coating all its circuit boards. It started last night and is getting worse. It's old, I know that but is it the computer, or is it Xfinity? 

I can check my connection in the Xfiniity help section. YES, you are connected, like I need it to tell me that. I can look on my task bar and see if I'm connected. I tried to do a provided speed test but it never finished running.

My Avast virus scan is running and is two thirds complete. According to it I have a few corrupt files. I think the solution is a new computer.

When I finished my quick fix I had to sign into this blog. I did it just a few days ago but between then and now I forgot what I did. I couldn't remember if the password was listed under Blog, Chrome, or Google. It was Google and I put in the password I changed six months ago. None of this is getting any easier.

I had some great things to share with you today. In keeping with the air travel theme I dug up an article on things that flight attendants wish they could say, but can't. Like "Hey you two, this is an airplane not a motel" and "Nice shoes, please put them on, your feet stink."

Things that can get you thrown off a flight was another topic. "Hey you two, this is an airplane not a motel." What I should research and write about is exactly how someone can be removed from a flight. Once it takes off it's not like a bus or train. "OK, here is your parachute. It works like this."

One of the nice things about train travel is meeting other passengers. It's so easy to strike up a conversation, say over lunch. Hi, where are going or coming from? Do you take the train often is another opener. What can you say to someone sitting next to you on a plane? So, are you going to Kansas City? 

No, I'm going to jump out over Montana.

Sassy Sweets is a new bakery that opened downtown. Wanda and I were talking about a special cupcake flavor.

She said, "Chocolate Salted Caramel Cupcake."
He heard, Chocolate Sausage Caramel Cupcake.

Well, why not? They have Pancake & Bacon.

She said, "I have to wear Capri's tomorrow."
He heard, I have to work for free tomorrow.

Have a good week-end and come back on Monday.

Oh, I almost forgot. You ever notice how you never hear or see something and once you do it keeps cropping up?

In the blog entry yesterday I wrote sock-ed feet. That's of course feet wearing socks and I noted sock-ed was a word in my world. 

While waiting for the doctor this morning I started a new book on my Kindle. A few pages in (well, they're not really pages because it's on a Kindle but you know what I mean) the author is describing goodies in a local bakery display: 

"And at my eye-level? Doily-ed plates of pastries: European bear claws and croissants."

DOILY-ED? 

And I thought I was being so clever.
