Pentagenarians & Beyond: W/B 7/16

[Traildoggie]

Josie, I hope you're wrong about appliances because the DW is not right. doesn't heat. will not change from the original cycle it was set on. that tells me the electronics are not right and it's not some minor mechanical problem. it has lights on the front that show what part of the cycle it's on, and nothing else illuminates now except time remaining. It's a lovely DW otherwise! Bosch. quiet, washes well, nice accessible strainer area on the bottom to make keeping it clean a snap. my old KA was awful to clean out, had to disassemble the blasted thing. this will be a warranty repair sometime monday.
Did 35 on the treadmill and 40 pushups. didn't feel like weights yesterday.

also had a hack on our email . don't think it was a serious issue but a strange name showed up on the contact list where I don't have access to delete it, but did not appear in the contact list where I do have access. It was on both our desktops but not the laptop. I was able to find an answer and remove the name from mine but the same process didn't work on DH's. ran security scans on both and detected nothing.

Good morning and Happy Weekend!

Already tackled stuff on my "list", agility class this morning, maybe a bike ride this afternoon if it doesn't get too hot.

Valerie, I would push for a new dishwasher. Bummer on the hacking. I wonder what the point of that is? can they access your e-mail by being in your contact list? Scary. A good free software program is CCleaner. I run that every time I shut down and it has been great. This is In addition to having the regular virus software. This one defrags, compresses files, deletes your internet cache , temp files etc. Just keeps the computer running efficiently. The IT guys at work told me about it. If you are interested, let me know and I will give you the particulars, it's not hard to do at all.

Josie, good job on the P90X. When I did it, I never did the yoga. ( too long and boring) and subbed Cathe kickbox, and did the treadmill for the cardio. I just basicallly followed the weight work. It was pretty good, but lacks on leg work I think. Lots of good upper body workouts.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend, take care...

I think my chances for a new DW are between slim and none. the service place is not where I bought it. I WILL learn a whole lot about the location of the electronics etc. that's how I learned to fix my old one, by watching the service guy! I'm a good watcher, ask questions. take notes. I always learn plenty from service calls cause these guys know how things really work. I always assumed electronics were inside the door so new door? it was a $900 DW, not top of the line but about mid point. it is still running but I need to run the water til hot before starting, and then it's only lukewarm so I'm rinsing everything first. maybe there's a board in there that can be replaced.

There's some sort of 'invitation" process on hotmail. don't understand it, but there was a way to limit access to only people on my contact list. I changed pw too. there were 2 weird requests, so I eliminated both. one was the name on my contact list, at the very end. I'll keep CClean in mind but not ready to add anything at this poiint. using Norton antivirus and in past experience adding anything could cause conflicts. you could maybe ask if there'd be a conflict?
