Congratulations on your lab results and going off the high blood pressure medication.<br /><br />Have tried on several occasions to make a post with regards to my test results using Windows 10 with no success. You are however right, they were not good.MsBelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09035993834877022676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538104263023802022.post-46818332939463318072016-04-27T22:59:58.484-07:002016-04-27T22:59:58.484-07:00Leilani, long time no hearing from you!

For now I will be checking any activity on my old Windows 7 computer.<br />MsBelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09035993834877022676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538104263023802022.post-88235311244147187202016-04-27T22:42:07.948-07:002016-04-27T22:42:07.948-07:00Sorry SPURSbrother have been having a heck of a ti...Sorry SPURSbrother have been having a heck of a time trying to post using the new browser that comes with Windows 10. Since it takes me around 20 minutes to be able to get my old computer to go online, I gave up trying :(<br /><br />You are right this is the most important time of the year. Well we swept the Grizzles as predicted and I can hardly wait until this Saturday.<br /><br />Been staying up later than usual watching the re-broadcast of other Eastern as well as Western games. I am thinking mother might be right...I might be a tomboy...jajajaja :DMsBelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09035993834877022676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538104263023802022.post-89548982671370482702016-04-25T17:23:46.702-07:002016-04-25T17:23:46.702-07:00No SPURSsister during the most important time of t...No SPURSsister during the most important time of the year.

My ...No doctor appointment nor lab results report?<br /><br />My blood draw was on March 28th and doctor appointment on April 4th. Cholesterol numbers a little high but HDL was very good. I have been on reduced dosages of medication for high blood pressure for about the past 18 months. At this doctor visit I was told I could come off ALL blood pressure meds and took my last pill on 13 April.<br /><br />During that 18 months I was reporting my blood pressure readings to my VA care provider about once a month with reading taken every 2-3 days. It was very easy for me since I had a spreadsheet where I would enter the readings. Then about 6-9 months ago I put all the readings in a SQL database and wrote some PHP code that would generate the report and all I needed to do is run it, cut and paste.<br /><br />I hope you received good news but since you said nothing I suspect it was not all that good. edlfreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16859730659143852274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538104263023802022.post-88704355645439196402016-04-20T09:44:24.495-07:002016-04-20T09:44:24.495-07:00I am converting my Dell XPS18 to Windows 10 right ...I am converting my Dell XPS18 to Windows 10 right now too, so I empathize totally! <br /><br />Generally I prefer it, because they streamlined a lot & got rid of many of the gimmicky clutter from the 8 era (adios, infamous "charms"!) but I'm not happy with the email notification system either.<br /><br />You will see in the Live Tiles in the mailbox tile if there are any new emails waiting.[See tiles by clicking start/windowpane button lower left corner] But I'd like to see the icon in my taskbar - & you have to pin it there manually - change colors & show a number or something.<br /><br />You've probably already discovered this, but just in case not: in order to get the "chime" and banner notification when emails come in, click on your mail app to open, find the little gear for settings & click, and when that pulls up click notifications. There you can turn on & off the chime and banner and for some people - including me - all that was not on by default & had to be turned on.<br /><br />If you are like me, you may want to extend the length of time the banner that comes in from the right side of your screen to notify you an email has arrived displays. To extend that, click the start button (window pane left lower corner) select settings, find "Ease of Access", select "Other Options", and there should be an item about 3 options down to "Show Notifications For" with a drop down menu for anywhere from 5 sec to 5 min. I extended it, but as I'm getting more used to the system I will probably decrease the time again. <br /><br />Just wish the mail icon pinned to our taskbars changed like the Live Tile to show unopened emails.(Alas, just as I'm writing this I know via my open ancient ipad that I just got a gmail I was expecting , but even the Live Tile on my superfast Dell with its newly upgraded Windows 10 doesn't show it's there! Arrgh!)<br /><br />Also wish that when we open the mail app we wouldn't have to open the all accounts icon to see all of our email accounts at a glance - I'd prefer that was the default or they'd let us make that the default configuration.Have you figured out any way to do that yet?<br /><br />Sigh. This is why I waited forever until I had a long block of time to bite the bullet & do this. So much adjusting & tweaking & learning to get it to where we feel comfortable with all of the little quirks. <br /><br />Best of luck to you with this mess on your end! I'm probably much more tech-challenged than you are & I will have to keep my nose in this thing all week just trying to get even halfway back up to speed.leilanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00491913174028325392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538104263023802022.post-9274506893707410712016-04-19T23:23:50.111-07:002016-04-19T23:23:50.111-07:00I agree with you Gypsy.I agree with you Gypsy.MsBelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09035993834877022676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538104263023802022.post-89694105175568169502016-04-19T20:54:45.540-07:002016-04-19T20:54:45.540-07:00I have always hated getting a new computer and dea...I have always hated getting a new computer and dealing with a new look and feel of it. It wouldn't be so bad if they updated what the computer can do, but why is it necessary to change the way everything looks. I guess it keeps software developers busy, changing colors and moving things around on the screen.Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052445200220681513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538104263023802022.post-57718219677302438382016-04-19T10:54:25.042-07:002016-04-19T10:54:25.042-07:00I was only able to reach one neighbor this morning...I was only able to reach one neighbor this morning but she is always heavily sedated and has not left her house in days. However, it appears only the back part of the subdivision got flooded.<br /><br />Never been to Niagara Falls but 240 billions gallons is definitively too much water.<br /><br />Last night I watched the re-broadcast of the Mavericks vs Thunder game and wow, they almost lost but the basket did not count since time ran out. The Thunder fans were in shock. They will indeed be a worthy opponent.MsBelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09035993834877022676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538104263023802022.post-9655176183928454372016-04-19T05:45:52.395-07:002016-04-19T05:45:52.395-07:00Hope your house is OK over there.

Got an email from my brother over there who couldn't get to work and wrote that the weather guy said the rains dumped 240 BILLION gallons of water over the area...enough to equal 88 hours of the flow over Niagra Falls. If you have ever been to Niagra Falls then you know this is A LOT!<br /><br />Go SPURS, need to finish off the depleted Grizzlies in 4 and rest up for the Thunder who will be a worthy opponent.Andy Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13399584760260950198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538104263023802022.post-74205471557703339702016-04-18T22:36:04.964-07:002016-04-18T22:36:04.964-07:00Saw all the flooding in the news this afternoon.
