Need some computer guidance

It's been a frustrating night. I have computer issues and can't figure them out. My picture slideshow and my music player all of a sudden decided to disappear leaving a white box with a tiny logo in the top corner. Others I have talked to can still see my pics and the music player but i can no longer. I don't know what the problem is.
Tried reinstalling the music player and that didn't help. Then I deleted thins I didn't mean to and am struggling to get it back. I'm afraid to mess with the pics… Continue

I'll start over tomorrow !!!

My son Pete came home and I really haved missed him. He wanted to go out for dinner and so we did. His favorite dinner ..... The Outback's Alice Springs Chicken. I didn't count calories, carbs or worry about sugar. I had the Alice Springs Chicken quesadillas, that yummy warm bread, a blue cheese pecan chopped salad and ...... a Gold Coast Margarita. We did skip dessert : ) Don't know what my sugar will be tomorrow but it was a wonderful dinner with my son and husband.

Just wish I could find answers.

I have been struggling for the last year or so with a treatment plan that just doesn't show any changes. I started on Byetta 10mcg about a year ago along with 500mg of Metformin bid and 2 mg Amaryl bid. My A1C came down 0.2 (WOW) now its 6.1. My sugars range from 115-180. Have not lost any weight with the Byetta.

Have had alot of stress with my husband's company making big paycuts vs layoffs and our new insurance this year is really bad and we pay alot out of pocket, so in turn we hold off goin… Continue

Happy Thanksgiving to you! I am taking a break from the cooking at the moment. We will only be 7, but I like everything to be special. I try to keep my portions down, so I want every bite to be scrumptious.

Hi Joanne! Thank you so much for the B-day wishes! Love the virtual cake!!! Can I now go back and change the year on my profile......eeek! I am not embracing 50 yet. Went out to dinner with family to a restaurant of what ended up being their choice since they did not like my choices. Such is my family dynamics. I hope that all is well with you. I have not been on the computer in a few days. Hopefully I can catch up with all things tomorrow. I actually only have a few dog walks. Take care!

Amy...who is now 35 for the 15th time :-)
