was finally able to crawl out of the deep dark hole of trashy internet,, Well I'm not really out, it is still terrible and always will be unless I move and that is NOT happening until I move into my grave. Some days it is as slow as dial up but this old computer is on its last leg so that could be a lot of the problem too. Heaven forbid if it goes belly up. I can't replace it and this is Jen's old one. Anyway, I am popping in to say a BIG hello to my long lost family and hope everyone is well. I won't ever get caught up but I will go forward from here as I am able Just don't expect much from me at times. LOL Things are slow.........

Good to see you, Anita!! I can't even use my PSP anymore. I've tried everything ever since a certain update a year or so ago. I've uninstalled and reinstalled from links that others have given me and nothing, nada. It just sits and loads and loads. I like hanging out though and I occasionally request, but, I feel guilty for doing that cause I can't contribute. Maybe you can go forward soon.

Oh yay!!! Anita!!! So nice to see you back in any way you can however that unfolds.
Susy... Request! You know yourself that making a tag is only the engine of the train. It is the people who request that add cars. No worries. This is your home. Be comfortable!

What a great surprise! Love seeing you. So you are on the same type of connection I had when I was in Puerto Rico. I would get kicked off and then sometimes it took me 45 minutes to get connected again. I was playing bridge at the time…..talk about frustrating, but I kept coming back

Oh my goodness. Anita darlin it is such a pleasure to see your post. We have certainly missed you. Seems like there are a few of that have computers that are hanging on. Just had mine worked on one more time due to the fact that it went belly up. Would not even turn on. But it is 13-14 years old. I have had it worked on and updated several times over the years. But this time the tech said this would probably be the last time it can be updated. It should last until Windows 10 is no longer supported and then I am out of luck. The old lady won't handle Windows 11.
Hope to see you more often. And all is well health wise.

Hi Sweetie! I think about you and pray for you every day! It is such a gift to see you!
Susy, whenever I see you request a tag I have made, it's like I have "made it" in the PSP world ha ha ha. You make me feel like a star.

Thanks so much for the nice welcome home.
It's strange to live where I do now. I don't pay any bills, they are all paid in the rent except my cell phone, of course, but not getting bills every month is awesome. I also don't write checks for rent either. They take it every month like clockwork from the bank. Feels so strange. LOL
The internet is s-l-o-w!!! And there is no getting around it. It is what it is and I'm just happy to not be a homeowner anymore. So I won't complain.
Lots of activities here. Some days I am gone from the apartment from noon or so until well after supper. Always something going on along with pot lucks and game night, bingo, social hour every day, music every other Sunday and movie night every other Sat. Then we have residents council meeting the 1st Tues of each month. A birthday party each month for residents born in that month There is always a huge puzzle in the works on one of the large tables by the window and anyone can work on it if they want. They always have coffee going and usually cookies. Such a nice place to be. I love it here. I'm on the 3rd floor overlooking main street. I live in the historic courthouse/warehouse district of Sioux Falls. Out my front window I have a beautiful view of the Catholic Cathedral 2 streets over on the hill. It is all lit up at night. I hear the train whistles blowing, which is nostalgic to me, especially at night and I live in the flight path of the airport, which can get quite noisy at time when those jets take off. The airport is only about 5 blocks away. I don't mind it too much, I have had 3 homes in my life that were at the end of runways so its nothing new for me.
My apartment was freshly painted, new carpeting and spotless when I moved in. I didn't have to do a thing. I have a dishwasher and a built in microwave above the stove and a washer/dryer combo. That means the same machine that washes my clothes' also dries them without me even having to take the clothes out of the machine. Now how cool is that? My only issue with that is you can't wash another load while you are drying a load. Hahaha A walk in shower and non slip tile in the bath and dressing area. Grab bars by the comfort height toilet and also in the shower there is 2. And my bedroom is large enough for my sleeping area and my sewing area so I am a happy camper!!
Once I get the rest of my new furniture, (I brought little with me0, I will take pics of the finished apt and post before and after. The rest of it will be here by end of Sept.

Wow, Anita. Sounds like a plan to me. Can't wait to see photos of your place. Are you still in S. Dakota? I've gotten so far behind here. I'm glad that you can use your internet even though it's slow. Take care and enjoy your new freedom.

Susy, yes still in SD. I just moved 104 miles South to Sioux Falls. The kids are doing the same next summer when school is out. They were going to do it this year but they couldn’t find a place before school started again. Now they will have the year to save more money for the more.

Sounds beyond wonderful for you Anita, all the activities. I am nostalgic w/train whistles too. Not airplane so much but your view sounds terrific. So good to hear about your new abode and that you love where you are, that's the important factor. Drop in and let us know how you are doing.
