I'd pay a fortune for a dull life, Susie. That's my goal in life now! John
At least you cannot claim that you lead a dull life, John! Best Susan Sorry if this is inappropriate. Despite all the Prozac (Fluoxetine). I really was at death's door. It was pure hell! Avon (PBA Pablo Escobar) kicking my neighbours door at all hours. I am not making this up when I say I woke up in Queen's Medical care centre, critical unit. I had really had enough 'phoned 101, told them I'd takjen 60 mg of Fluoxetine & they sent 2 coppers with a big red key, & 2 ambulance workers. I guess they read it has 60mg of cyanide. My GP laughed himself silly, but that is the skill level on 101. The Best of the Best John

I had to fill it in, of course! But when it came to sex, heterosexual, bisexual, homosexual. I had to opt for other & filled in Celibate John

Don't quite know what happened, but I seemed to have deleted your email in some fashion. But rest assured you are my 2nd most favorite woman on the planet (after Susie, of course!). I would have given an arm & a leg to travel down & see you, but it isn't going to happen is it? Most Exotic place I'll get to is Derry/Londonderry You are & always will be in my thoughts John?

Major weather event going on down here. Houses and animals being swept away in NSW. Totally horrendous what we are seeing. One cow got swept out to see and lifesavers saw her trying to stay afloat and keep her head up and they went out and got her and landed her ok and she’s now in a paddock but she’s probably the only one out of her herd. Dead cows everywhere by all accounts. We’re in Queensland much further north but we are also having a big weather event. We’re ok at our place but the creek has gone bonkers so bridge out of here is under — goes under at 2m on the online guage and is now at 3+m Just watched some daft bludger leave multi millionaire’s place on block 4 of our subdivision at high speed in 4WD …..think they might be back shortly ?:-)
There are a lot of new people in the area who don’t really know the dangers of the waterway here and what it is capable of.?
But I bought in supplies in anticipation so as long as the power stays up we are ok …… cooked dinner early just in case we lost power.?

It turns out one of my nursers is a big Indiana Jones fan too. So when I said: "It's not the years..," She finished it off with: "It's the mileage!" John

Well, I don't want to come off as a wimp or something! Give me a Heckler Und Koch submachine gun MP5 & I would sort the so & so's out. But when all you've got is a ? butter knife, Well?? It's like this, isn't it? John

I mean I saw a man in a wheelchair, stuck in a rut in the pavement. It was obvious his wife could not get him out of it. So I didn't think twice, it was 1,2,3 & we got them on their way. I had my wallet returned after a seizure, with the ?10 still in, but sadly I think it is becoming more common & acceptable to pick on the weak & disabled. I just wish I was there to see them answer to the man downstairs! John

Dearest Susie, These people are exceptionally, inventive & resourceful. The one that has got my experts "frankly lost" was when my internet banking to Lloyds was lost. Someone 'phoned up from "Lloyds" saying they would put it right. In my defence, I was taking 2X 500mg Paracetamol+30 mg of Codeine at the time, for a broken leg. See what I mean about taking advantage of the weak or disabled?!? Maybe this was a key logger, or someone outside my apartment, who knows?
I've purchased McAfee, total protection, at least 24 hrs a day I do a scan & update. These are seriously nasty?people John

Sorry, but there are some exceptionally skilled Computer Scientists/electronic engineers trying to scam us, they must at least be 1st Class Honours undergraduate degrees. I've loaded Mac Cafee in with regular updates. I suggest you do the same. These guys must be pure slime! John

Oh, a fellow Eagle reader? I used to read Eagle and, later, Girl too, having started out on Mickey Mouse Weekly plus, occasionally, Dandy and Beano. I still have some Eagle Annuals but they are modern printings not valuable antiques!
When it comes to magazines, I used to read Cosmopolitan before it became as obsessed with sex as it apparently now is, but regular magazines were PC Gamer and PC Gaming World, you get the picture! That is how i got into playing EverQuest and boy it was hard back then: no maps for starters, no idea where any of the quest givers were, people just passed on the info between them. I started taking the odd Mac magazine on an irregular basis, eventually subscribing to MacFormat but with Computeractive (fortnightly) as well. ?I’ve just drifted out of MacFormat, as it was becoming increasingly irrelevant to someone with years-old gear and ignoring the latest OS because it zaps some of my favourite applications. I did transfer, for my last MacFormat year, to the digital version but did not renew that. Future Publishing tried to reactivate my Direct Debit for a new paper subscription but I quickly put a stop to that, so now it’s just Computeractive, which does deal with Mac gear and answer Mac users’ queries too. During lockdown, they offered subscribers access to an online edition, as they had occasional problems with their paper deliveries, although I never needed that. I do prefer the paper mag, although of course online editions mean you can enlarge the parts that ageing eyes find hard to read!? Best Susan

Have you all found things you used to do on the computer have changed during Covid ?
In my case lots of stuff ceased amongst the bellydancers - so communication abruptly died and some translated to doing stuff in Zoom but not successfully really. As a result there was no web page updating or posters and flyers etc. The girls seem to have translated themselves to Facebook and web pages became static so I trimmed them right back to the point of being easy to take down. Just a token presence really.
I am handing back things to let other people get on with them.?
Even a lot of slides and diagrams I was doing has gone by the by with no international conferences on and everything that goes on Zoom has naturally to be simplified....doesn't really lend itself to some things on screen when you know people are viewing on iPhones and iPads etc.
As I am in the retired category and no longer out to work, I am looking about to find myself something interesting to do for myself that I might find absorbing instead of doing things for other people. I have just about decided to buy the next iPad Pro and teach myself art on it and who knows where that might go - or not. Might be able to value add on that idea. ?I used to draw a lot as a child and painted watercolours so I see it as a bit of a throwback.?
My late stepfather used to buy me Eagle comics and things like that as he liked the illustrations and I was always drawing - I think I was his excuse for buying them.?
The local Mac group are trying to get me interested in taking over the club website - I have been resisting on the basis the guy who built now is now deceased and its hanging on by a thread, and pull the wrong thread and it could all collapse and is showing signs it could be about to break. It was all coded and there's lots of php behind it. It started doing something odd the other day and I have been communicating with the hosting to try to sort it out for them as to reason things are happening but the advice seems to be various things have not been updated and running old php etc and maybe start again with WP. I am doing my best to avoid it. ?I don't want to be the one in charge when the empire collapses :-) I have done my share of retrieving web sites when people have paid good money and the site walks along with the person who built it but I am doing my best to swerve this one at the moment.?

Sorry to bang on about this, but I would say up your security: The lockdown has made conventional crime difficult. I've gone from zer0 to 3 attacks in the past 2 years. They especially seek out the vulnerable:
My friend Brian & a BT technician are at a loss our one of them was done. John

Realised after reading some of these military accounts, I was displaying the same symptoms of "Shell shock, battle fatigue, Vietnam vet syndrome, PTSD". Call it what you will after being stalked. I still wake up punching the wall sometimes & of having massive startle reactions if a nurse wakes me in hospital. Not good for them, I'm sure & certainly not good for me. I think having a drug dealer next door to me was the final straw. I was having up to 3 seizures a day. Since I've been rehoused it's gone down to 4 in 14 months. John

Yep we certainly had the A-team on the job!
I bought my NBC. mask around January 14th 2000!. Wondered if I was over reacting, but I figured better safe than sorry! John
