I couldn't agree more about Apple. I have bought only Apple for the past 30 years and never looked back. Nothing but the best products and superior customer support and service.

Megan Boone - Google Search She has become a fantastic actress over the past several years and she is related to someone very important to all of us who live in this beautiful place. Guess who? This show is phenomenal but I think its only good if you watched it from the beginning.

It is NOTHING but better than Ray Donovan & The Sopranos. I can't believe I said it but I mean it. I think the old lady who was Reddington's Cleaner will show up one day because everyone assumed she died when she jumped from a Non-Enclosed Bridge. They never showed her dying just like when she was shot and showed up alive to ruin Reddington's Day. Time to go. This is better than the Old Days when I would watch as The World Turns with my Grandmother or Lawrence Welk because nobody else would. have a great night. Peace Out.

Never heard of Blacklist until now. Better than the Sopranos? Wow - that is nothing but the best endorsement. I will have to check it out and maybe binge watch from Season 1.

HaHa - Your last sentence reminded me of my mother -- she would have me sit on the floor between her legs so she could put my hair in pin curls while listening to Lawrence Welk. I knew the name of every performer on the show. As I'm writing this I can hear the theme song - "Bubbles in the Wine"

Glad to see your response this morning. I was NOTHING but a bit concerned. I thought maybe 3 straight days of work had done you in for good - lol.

Seriously though, I can't believe you were able to drag yourself back to work the next day, but understand why you probably needed to. That's a long trip and a big time change from which to recover.....bet you guys are still feeling it this weekend. Take some time to hug that couch back this weekend -

[Abby10]

Good morning everyone -

Hope you all have NOTHING but a great weekend.

Of course to the rest of you, besides K, what's a weekend when everyday is a Saturday? Sometime next year I'll be saying the same thing, God willing........

I may be the only person on earth that has never bought an Apple product of any kind. I love computers and gadgets, but I have always compared the products, and Apple is always too expensive and, lately, relies too much on cloud storage, which I don't like. I prefer to store files on an micro SD card because I always know where it is. I do use a Google cloud drive for important files. I have often tried to help people recover lost contacts and photos from their Iphone. But, they usually have no idea how to access their cloud storage, don't know what it is, and don't know their password.

Megan Boone also wrote, directed and performed in a short film called "Eggshells for Soil", a 14-minute film showing a little boy's perspective. The film was shot in nothing but The Villages, although you really don't see much more than trees.

You're not the only person - I haven't either, but mainly because my husband would never support me on that and he's my electronics geek. He won't go there because they are too proprietary for him. He likes having options. I just go with the flow around here where that's concerned because he's much more of an expert than me and he keeps things going pretty much problem-free in that area.

So on another note, retiredguy! It's a real pleasure to have you here. Hope you continue to stop by as I always enjoy your posts on the forum. But next time you drop by don't forget to bring your NOTHING.

Hi retiredguy, welcome to the Nothing Thread, where every post must have NOTHING. The fact that you have violated a cardinal rule of this thread, as referenced in the Nothing Manifesto, neither diminishes nor negates your technical opinion. I agree the Apple products are more expensive. However when I shell out the extra money I know that I am paying not only for a superior product, but a product that has far fewer viruses, far fewer breakdowns and far superior customer support and service than other brands.

Apple also offers one-on-one training and group classes that a user can sign up for at their Apple Stores.

Because after all NOTHING is all that really matters.

I suppose this is the NOTHING Manifesto?

I think the NOTHING manifesto is much more detailed. To my knowledge, the last person who had their hands on it was our long lost pal W. Knowing K, he may have it memorized.

I have no clue what's in it - they trust me with NOTHING around here.......

I see. It is kind of the secret code of NOTHING?

I do recall getting called out when I edit a NOTHING in after a short or long time when I had forgotten one to start.

For all I know it's probably NOTHING at all. And most likely, the only one who knows anything is the (W)izard.......

Bottom line - just don't forget your NOTHING, and if you do, accept the violation and move on. NOTHING will happen anyway - it's not like we keep a NOTHING tally. We just want to keep NOTHING important in our lives especially when we get involved in too much something.

Now if any of that makes any sense, I'm NOTHING but done. (I said that just because I wanted to get one more - now 2 more - NOTHINGs in.)

Visiting family went back to VA yesterday. Will miss them. Sister-in-law went to the U of Virginia and her late brother went to Duke. Talked a lot about the NCAA March Madness. NOTHING but fun.

We had three University of Nevada, Reno grads in the room but they lost in the first round.

California-- 669.

Indiana-- 1,311.

Massachusetts-- 2, 192.

Nebraska-- 68.

New York-- 6,303.

Virginia-- 1, 630.
