Good Morning!

[tonys]

Hi  @StuF    Yes there was me and the 2 girls going over ever  millimetre of the page.  soon as it said 

  seller won't deliver to  PO box and the 30 free trial trap was foisted upon me,   options to end transaction  or empty cart disappeared.   I responded to their emails asking me to empty the shopping 

cart but their was no facility to enable me to do that.  We all used a microscope on their page and clicked on everything.  Only turning severing the link worked to back out of the site.  Having seen others on post and blogs with the same problem,  I know I was thorough in my search.  Its not a blanket scam.  Just one aimed at trapping newcomers that have never purchased before with eBay and are not on their free delivery, pay a monthly fee scheme.    Thanks for trying  @StuF .. Hope you are having a peaceful day.     Very Quiet hey.   Think thats a good sign..                tonys

Cool man @tonys

But had to mention just in case!

Hope your day is going well too

Hello @tonys hope youve had a good day. Just brought in my crystals this morning after a full moon last night. Not much is new.

I have learned how to download photos off my Android phone which I had to update last year unfortunately

There was an issue downloading photos.

Needed my google e-mail account which was not longer active but still linked with my google sign in features to access the photo downloads.

I installed something called SmartSwitch on my phone and desktop. It works really well. Now I can download photos onto my desktop. Am becoming more proficient with technology.

Got my ipod working back in January. Its been great for listening to all kinds of tracks

Have to be more savvy though. Have a book from the library on how to become more familiar with Ventura OSX on my Apple Mac. 

These have been my goals to get everything working more seamlessly and yes making plenty of progress so far.

I think I surprised myself.

 Hi    @Former-Member   so   your an Apple Gal..   That's some classy hi tec gear.   My tec bloke 

swears by them and he should know.     New tec is a full time job lately.  I joined Sane after a really bad accident,  and they were,  for some time,   my only help.  Even now A post can take me up to half an hour.  Specially poems.   I usually  "time out' on them and give thanks to the autosave.  See,   I have dyslexia,  brain injury,  and learning difficulties, so its only my dogmatic approach and company in the house that saves me.   OH,  and tips from you folks.  I can email pics to my lap top and file them.

But the resolution and size are to much for Sane 3 gig capacity, so they won't go.  Now I'm trying to learn to crop pics.  save changes,  all a lot to remember .   I'm using  Tor a lot to see what it can do

but unfortunately its slow.   Its says its the dark web but  NaahhHH   I don't think so.  My little helper did a test to see what it revealed about transitioning hormones,  ' just to see ',    but it was no more revealing  than fire fox, brave or chrome.   We recon its because Esset security is so overly efficient at blocking threats,  that it just makes a leveller of all the browsers search abilities.  My tec guy doesn't use a security filter because he gets movies before they hit the cinema.  So he has a killl switch on his  laptop and he says he can tell if bugs are attached.  A scarry man and glad he is on my side.

He fixed a computor of mine that the best guys in the city couldn't.  Took him a matter of minutes.

Here most Mondays and has help desk support if you're gear ever gets viruses and plagues,  Shoot me a post if your ever really stuck SG.. I can show it to him. and I owe you one.  Well. . . more than one,   but who's counting  LoL..   He's going to slice eBay a new one tomorrow.

Skies eased up and shafts of light on rain drop crystals,  but they're still not as magic as your

crystals  @Former-Member ..

Hope you and everyone is enjoying a zephyr or two..    🙂

@Oaktree   @Meowmy  @Glisten   @Historylover  @Appleblossom  @StuF  @ENKELI  @Emelia8   all the folks.                                            tonys..

Thats no good to hear about your accident @tonys you never mentioned it to me. I'm saddened to hear of this

Yes SANE can be an excellent backstop. We need supports in our lives when things take a turn for the worse. In my moment of need I found myself alone.

Its staggering the price we pay for enduring hardship. We certainly know who our friends and allies are

However I will say this, what you lost with your dyslexia, learning disability and brain injury you have gained with an incredible talent for writing.

I know how hard it is for you to sit in front of a computer though given your disabilities.

I wondered if you were a savant, unusually gifted person - this is usually profiled more with intellectually disabled folk or those that have endured some kind of brain injury.

There was one savant I saw of on the internet who had an accident diving into a swimming pool and sustained brain injury but began composing intricate musical compositions on piano with no prior musical ability

He was featured in the news. I saw him on 60 Minutes. The musical compositions were astounding.

But he really suffered through it still. A musical genius but with intense side effects sustained from the injury which continued haunting him through life.

So yes I do understand. 

It can be hard bringing forth something of great beauty and yet people don't see the hardship borne from whence it came and how it still lingers and plagues someone to the very day.

But you are a valued and welcome person on this forum. I love reading your posts and look forward to what you have to say tonys, always. 

This forum wouldn't be the same without you

One day you will move on and find a new life brimming with possibility once again, full of hope dreams and populated by folk who care about you.  

I wish this for myself. In the future it will become a reality and the past can stay where it belongs

[tonys]

All enveloped with substance,  are the points you illustrate in you post  @Former-Member .

 Yes . .  !  I saw that guy on  60 minutes.  Still hard to believe how extensive the minds reach is.

Well ..  There are so many illness posts I don't like adding to them.  The short version is .  I got reversed over by a motor home, about 10 years ago,  while meandering around in my own little world.   Woke up a week later in 

Macquarie University hospital and well,  the road back was filled with gore and screams in the night.

No. . .  I made that up..  I was so dosed up I lost my grip on the world and just hung on for the ride.

Pain was no worse than a tooth ache.   They made sure of it. 

I would say, my body has healed but the brain..  Well who can say ?   It is a fact that I was born with

an intellectual handicap anyway.    

In truth,  I feel I am a lot more linear and happy than anyone I meet. My doctor says its because I simply know,   no better.     I would stay on Sane even if 

I thought I was fully recovered.   Since the stay in hospital last year,  and my move here,  I don't go out much.  Its an adjustment thing. So the odd nice letter here is areal treat.         I have no family,

so this,  and my house mates, and imaginary gargoyles,   fill the empty chairs.   Never really thought of it as a stepping stone 

to somewhere else.    May be I should.       I just walked in and put my bags down.      For me Its one more place I share stuff with friends.   I did once say,  I'm a 

"fight club,  institutionalized person.   LoL..     But I know people do heal and  move on.

I just have breaks now and then.

Once upon a time I did write and play music fairly  well.   Strokes are like torpedoes below the water line.  Only recently

have the pumps kept the rising water at bay.   Now if I can just keep their little hearts pumping a little longer before my time runs out,  I may just one day get a hard cover around something again.  I have someone who has there head constantly in my old boxes of  painted parchments.  I don't even remember what's in all those boxes apart from cobwebs and the bleached bones.  The  crimes  of lives past..

Main thing is,  we have fun trying to make our lives mean something I guess  @Former-Member .

and all I know for sure is         The   more rings within my tree,  . . .   the less I understand and see..

its always lovely chatting with you my friend  . .  If I follow your tail lights in the fog I'll do alright .. 

                                                                                                                                                    tonys..

@tonys 

Hi Tns,

I go around adopting family members as I see fit and I feel like you probably do that as well. I believe family is the most important thing but I can’t really rely on my birth family. My adopted family are societies misfits but that’s what makes them fun and interesting. I will be your sister if you like? Not sure how old you are but I am 53 so maybe your little sister? Get back to me on this…

Hi @Oaktree I hope you are enjoying the Cooler temperatures, as I am.

[Oaktree]
