    Thursday Chat

    It took me a bit to figure out how to start this thread. This page won't open at all for me on my work computer. I use IE here and at work. At work I get a gray screen with this: IIS7. Mild weather today and the weekend is supposed to be very nice.

    We won't discuss the weather here, other than to say, it ain't great!  And, our weekend weather promises a major storm.  At least its the weekend though and we don't have to be out in it all day.

    I actually made it through the night without waking up in the midst of a dry, hacking coughing attack.  Sleep is a wonderful thing.  Now to make up for the past several nights......

    Had a last minute ad cancellation so must scramble today to find a replacement 1/4 page.  Yikes!  Too much to do, too little time!

    Hope everyone has a good day.

    I can't turn the "remember me" button on the login page off. I don't want to stay signed in all day as I am on a shared computer.

    I'm not feeling too bad with the cold except for the dry cough.

    Not much else. I'd like to take a nap. Until spring. Sleep

    I'm just insanely busy and incredibly tired -- working late many nights and doctor visits out the ying yang.  That's not a complaint (hey at least I have a job!) but it's draining.  I'm also still having to be really careful of how long I "sit up" .

    Sorry for those with colds, etc. -- nothing like being run down before you get  Christmas under your belt.   The whole weather thing is scarey -- Mom says the snow in western NY is unreal (and of course she's worried about herself & pa falling on the way to the mailbox so she's killing herself trying to keep the driveway "clean" *sigh*)

    Which version of IE? J

    What browser are you using? Thanks.

    Jonathan, if this was directed at me, I'm using IE 11.

    It was @sharismom. Can you send me a private message with what it did when you tried to login? Thanks j

    I'm not sure why but when I tried to send you a pm, I got a message that said there was no user by your name.

    On the main login page, I typed my username, then password. The option to "Remember me", the grey "On" is visible. I clicked the white space to the right of "On", where it should come up "Off", but I was not given the "Off" sign. Like when I type a post, I have the option to receive emailed replies of my post, or I can choose "Off". In this example, the "Off" button works.

    I have the remember me turned on, but it only lasts the day.  I have to log in again every morning.

    Seems like I am saying that all the time how I'm tired.  With our schedule change and Aaron sleeping better I'm actually getting roughly 8 hours a night, I don't think I should always want a nap.  

    Work announced that the proposed outsourcing of some product lines is now a definite thing.  This will effect a lot of people at our facility.  Thankfully not DH or I, but several of our friends :(

    We got our Christmas tree last night and hopefully will get to decorate it when I get off tonight.  That should improve my mood.

    I'm having the same issue as Tina (sharismom).  I can't click "OFF" for remembering me.  But, like Stephanie said, it eventually does log me off after some period of time, I think.  For example, when I just opened the forum now for the first time today, I was NOT logged in.

    Stephanie, maybe you should have some bloodwork done and see if you're really low on iron or B-12.  A few years ago I was dealing with unreasonable fatigue, and it turned out that I was so low on B-12 that I had to have shots of it for 6 months.  I know everyone's sleep needs are different, but if I were getting 8 hours like you described, I'd feel pretty rested (I usually get only about 6 on a weeknight, and that's only if I don't wake up for a period of time, like I often do).  

    The warm up of temps they predicted lasted about a half-day.  It was back to 20's last night and this morning.  No more sun, which makes it feel so much colder.  

    I'm meeting my former coworker for lunch today -- my favorite pasta place in town.  I know I'll regret eating so much pasta and bread, but it's so good!

    Happy Sunshine Day in NWA.  LOL it's still cold and there is still snow on the ground but the sun is shining for now :)

    Hope all those with colds get to feeling better soon.

    Hopefully the log in issue gets fixed eventually.

    I'm so looking forward to having tomorrow off. Well except for a couple hours but my boss agreed to let me work those from home. I'm going to miss him when he retired at the end of this month. He's the best boss I have ever had hands down.

    I have pretty great coworkers in general. One in particular helps me see reason when I get ticked off about something. Which happened today. It's good to have people you can bounce stuff off of before going down the wrong road.

    I have to come up with some sort of dish to bring for a party on Sat and one on Wed of next week. Hmm. It must be easy to put together and transport.

    Must say it is finally working better for me....not slow anymore and the scrolling is working okay as well. Glad for that.

    I'm using Chrome and it has some bugs too. But it's better than it was the other day. I don't get notifications and I can't change my settings on Chrome.
