Really? I don't use it. If I make a mistake the browser underlines the word with a red squiggled line and allows me to check to see if there is an alternative spelling. It happens with a lot of German words because it doesn't know any better.

That auto-correct is about as bad as it anticipating your next words or phrases. I have that turned off too.

Yes. It's autocorrect on the phone or tablet. Systems are getting "smarter" (read "dumber") and they switch something after you've moved on and you don't even notice it until you go back and read it.

I'm replying now on my computer and I type Heimlich and it is fine. Earlier I typed Heimlich on my phone to reply and it autocorrected it. I made sure I did not make any mistakes as well.

Really dumb.

separated shoulders

Yeah, that's no fun. I am dealing with a sloppy right one that gives me pain when cutting fresh carrots of all things. I thought about breaking out the cleaver, but that'll just make a mess. Doing some lateral raises to try to tighten it up and should buy some bungee cords to do the rotations (anchor the elbow, tie the bungee to a door and do the left/right pull thing).

I really hate it when multiple things update themselves all at once, and I don't know what updated itself to cause a problem. My iMac just updated to 26, and Firefox just updated to 143.0.4. Now, suddenly everything I type replaces my text with little images instead of the text. It doesn't appear to be text replacement or emoji replacement. I can tell you it's gotten real old, real fast. I'm having to go back in to whatever I type and remove the little pictures and replace them with the text I originally typed. For example, when I type the word "light" it replaces the word with a little image of a light bulb.

Missed again. I thought I would get at least a few drop on my sidewalk, but Mother Nature is having none of that. Left high and dry again.

Good afternoon to all.......

Not much going on today, just same old "six and seven".

I found several alternative PPO, Medicare Advantage plans to my United Healthcare but I need to wait until Oct 15 to change over for 2026.

Not much else going on. Trip to tax prep guy tomorrow. I know he will gripe about being so close to Oct 15 deadline.......oh well.

Everyone have a great evening...........John

I received these "paint sticks" from Amazon delivered on Sunday in my mailbox. Three day, free shipping with Prime.

Earlier this afternoon in the northern part of the state actually had a decent half hour rain. Looking at the radar as of right now its just
spotty and to the south of me. The next best chance is after midnight.

We need it bad, but really didn't want any. I haven't mowed the lawn in 3 weeks and only planned on doing 1 more this season.

I have some of those and they are really handy.

I didn't get a stand with mine. I use a square of 2" foam.

Good evening all, 71 here with light drizzle, supposed to rain off and on all night.
Worked today, a rather quiet day. LadyC got her hair done today and has a new haircut, kind of a "bob"? It looks cute on her. Plan for the rest of the night is taking it easy with my feet up in the recliner. Going to try to put some paint on the layout tomorrow, just to see how things look with it.
You all have a fine evening.

How stiff are those sticks? Do they bend? That looks very handy.

It decided to rain anyway. A little shower formed while this system continued moving east, and it rained very lightly for about 10 minutes. I was surprised to hear rain on my metal porch roof.

Just a note in case you ever need to go to the Mayo Clinic: they will take Medicare A, B & D, but NOT any of the advantage plans.

I assume you mean you type apple and it auto inserts instead? Is this in every app on macOS 26 or is it only in Firefox?

The "sticks" are metal. I thought they might be bendable but they are are extremely stiff which is just fine by me. The little silicon tips come in a bag so you can use them or not. The metal alligator clips are very well attached to the rods. The base is a two piece item but I don't know why you would want to take it apart, maybe cleaning. The sticks do not go through the bottom base piece. For $10.00 it works for me.

@chadbag I hope you have offered your services to Amazon.

The Amazon App we use as delivery contractors is awful! They try to fix on issue and create two more. I suspect they are hiring the most inexperienced (cheapest) people.

Why can't GPS remember what direction I was going in? It often tells me to turnaround when I don't have to. Thank God I can read the map in the app, but I worry about other inexperienced drivers making countless U-turns for no reason.

Google tells me millions of people have downloaded the Amazon contractor's app. I wonder how many accidents there have been because of the nonsense.

I want to thank for the good laugh, I needed it.

Good morning, Everybody!

I'm starting my day with a little Christian Metal, I thought I should share it with you

[Bill Tidler Jr.]

Good Tuesday morning! It's 68°F and chance of rain

Have a great day!

I don't use Safari, though for this experiment, I'm going to try using it for a while and see if the issue follows me there.

 

[bnsf971]

Good morning. It's 74 and clear.
