The Big Sky is dumping big amounts of snow on us. I guess we should expect it in January but I have something to do tonight. We’ve had no snow and easy driving so I didn’t think about weather at all when I asked my sister if she wanted to go see a psychic that was in the town she lives in. The thing that drew me was the ‘pasta bar’ that is included. Being vegetarian paying for a buffet is usually a bummer but I know I can eat at a pasta bar.
In winters past, when we would have already had a couple of good snow dumps, I would not even bother planning for something in January. But I was living in a fools paradise; forgetting the hazards of winter.
What’s worse is the band of freezing rain before it turns to just rain. Had to be today.
I watch a lot of old movies. I check Turner Classic Movies right after the weather and record anything that looks interesting and has a lot of stars. But I did go out a new movie in TOWN over the holidays.
So I will use JUMANJI!(as a swear word. I went to) THE NEXT LEVEL making the leap to Windows 10 from Windows 7. They took away Outlook Express, the mail program I’ve used since I first got a computer in 1999 and gave me a new program.
At first it seemed have worked because all my e-mail came in. It was the next day I realized I only had an inbox. An empty ‘sent’ box. I went to my contacts; its been changed to “People”. Half of my people were not in there. So I went to my inbox to see if I could reply to the people in there. Those went “draft”.
This is where I will stop writing about it; most of you know what its like to try to fix something on computer and go around and around. I wasted a whole morning and was really agitated. All I want is a ‘sent’ box so I can see what I wrote and if it sent.
The next level in Windows, my ass. I know I’m old but I don’t like it.
I usually right click to get ‘properties’ and find this link. Now right clicking gives me ‘copy’ or ‘print’ option. I took this link from the toolbar; I hope it works.
Its already late now because I still tried something this morning. ’round and ’round.. ..
Your prompt for #JusJoJan and Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “movie title.” Take the title of the last movie you watched (just the title, not the premise of the movie), and base your post on that title.

I am not suggesting that you pay more money, but you get what you pay for. You can get a full blown Outlook for less than $60 and that is much better than Outlook Express.
I’m a Mac person so I don’t have to deal with the Windows thing. I like the idea of using “Jumanji” as a swear word. I may try that! Visiting from the #SoCs group.
