I wish you all the best @LilRugrat I'll have you in my thoughts for the best outcome.

Hope you feel better soon.

I saw that as well and was able to find that picture on the mentioned page. Her other pictures, however, seemed to be genuine to my untrained eye (but perhaps not). The next time I checked, all her stuff was gone from the picture section, but they are there now. Perhaps I screwed up the search. Personally, I'd like to see her back. Assuming she's posting her own stuff.

I wear cloth, but when traveling I switch to disposables.

Let's see, watching the price of my house go under water as the oil industry collapsed... nope. Driving on the east side of Dallas at sunset and being able to see it through the empty skyscrapers... that was kinda cool. Having my variable rate mortgage payment go down every year was really nice. I could say I miss MTV, but the commercials really got on my nerves. I guess what I miss most is VAX/VMS. Gave it up for Unix though.

I hate it when stuff like that happens. I hope you can get it fixed easily. When one of my kids was in high school and flipped burgers a few evenings a week, someone slashed all 4 tires of our family car. Had to have it towed to the local tire shop to buy 4 new ones. We never found out if it was targeted at him or just a random miscreant having "fun".

Back in the dark ages when I was in college, I always kept Carnation Instant Milk on hand for Mac & Cheese. I would usually add extra cheese to it (whatever was on hand). I was never without a fridge though. Has yours thawed out yet?

Mac & cheese w/ hot dogs. Also ramen noodles or beans & rice w/ a can of rotel.

At the risk of derailing this thread..... Most of the time I read this site from my tablet, but trying to type any kind of message with my tablet is a major PITA. I use my computer for posting messages instead. That has the added benefit of keeping me from posting messages with half baked ideas (well, mostly). Use a desktop or laptop doesn't matter as long as you have a decent keyboard to use (even if you hunt and peck). An alternative might be a bluetooth keyboard for your iPad. Read your messages back to yourself and see if you can understand them before you hit post. Heck, sometimes after I hit post and look over the message again and find a glaring error. Usually because I didn't finish typing the thought that was in my head before my mind wandered into the next topic. That's why my messages usually have 2 or 3 modifications to them where I went back to correct a typo or rephrase a sentence that was totally mangled in the time it took to get the idea from my brain to my fingers. This website has a great dictionary built into it. Use it. You can tell if it thinks one of your words is misspelled because they are underlined with a red squiggly line. Right click on the word and choose the word you really intended to use from the list that pops up. Keep your sentences short and to the point (do as I say and not as I do). Paragraphs are wonderful. Use them too. They divide your ideas up into digestible chunks for your readers. No more than a few sentences each. It'll be a long time before you graduate to the level of @oznl or @Little Sherri(don't worry, I'm clearly not there either) so just try to get your point across.

To determine if the SSD is the culprit, you need to initialize the drive, move it to a known working computer and start the Windows install over from scratch. If you get the BSOD from there, you've found your culprit. Alternatively, you could get a new disk (I'd suggest a spinny disk instead of SSD) and try to install w11 to that. That's why I keep spare parts around and glare at my wife every time she asks "do we really need to keep that junk?"

The PSFA is the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program. You need to work in an approved public service job (such as one of these) for 10 years, keep up your loan payments and the balance of your loan is forgiven. Given the kind of jobs in the list, I'd say that's money well spent. Edit: Almost forgot.. I got several t-shirts among other things. My favorite shirt, so far, says 'Show me the "nothing" you clicked on'.

Merry Christmas 🍻🥂🍸🍼🍼🍼

If you're changing motherboards, you'll need to reinstall Windows anyway. Microsoft loads drivers for the motherboard without checking for compatibility first. A new motherboard will most likely need different drivers. You can get around that with "sysprep" sometimes, but not always. A fresh install will also clear out any bad blood that might have crept in over time such as drivers from old games that might conflict with drivers from new games.
