Trying to figure out how to make my computer connect to the internet. I got fed up with my VPN software. It wouldn't let me connect if I wasn't using it. So, I uninstalled it and now I am reading help files on my tablet. Gah!
 
Just curious about your VPN software. Which brand? Does it tie you to full time VPN without the option to turn it off?

I have friends who use the " Opera " browser for windows and they claim that they can toggle the VPN function in the browser. (but there are several other browsers that offer this too)

Sorry to hear you're having that problem and hope it wasn't expensive.

It's called Personal VPN from Witopia. I have used it for several years. It's not tied to a specific browser. If I used email software, it would cover that too. It has the option to turn it off, but then I can't access the intertubes. It used to behave properly, but I guess an update broke it. It's not too expensive. ~U$50 for a year's worth of service for up to five devices at once.

I'll get it figured out. I just find it really annoying to need access to the internet to get help to access the internet. :ermm: I'm also not fond of hunt and peck typing on a virtual keyboard.

Our overnight temps have been below freezing for about
a week now, so as I am the COO of this "company",
I put my big girl panties on and shut down our drip
system for the landscape. :boxing:

This ALWAYS freaks me out doing this!!
I just hate reaching down into first shut off (or on in the Spring)
the water supply and then the actual back-flow system...
I don't know if you can see all of those spider webs, but we have
loads of poisonous critters here in Arizona :shock:

But I did it!
:clap::bb::punk:

When I came back into the house DH asked, "Why don't
you ask me to do that?"
:wub:
Aaw!
NO!
It's just something that I feel I have to do myself.

Good for you.

That video shows the symbol for a video that is unavailable. When I click the arrow to start the video, it says,
"Video unavailable
This video is private."

Put rubber gloves on when you turn the water valve. Leather garden gloves would work, too.

Here's what's funny CG, I had just thought about how am
I going to turn everything back on again, come Spring,
and this same idea struck me as I stood in the Dollar store!
I like that Rubber Gloves are a longer sleeve and give me
more protection.
I tried a Curb Key (is that what it's called?) but the valve handle
is not compatible. :mad:
THEN, you gotta fiddle with that stuff in the big box too!
We hired a landscaper to come trim all of the bushes, and
he suggested that I use Spider Spray before reaching
in, that's what he does. :idea:
 
Todays lunch.

Just got back from our local HyVee Grocery Store .They had a special on Turkey and Dressing sandwiches. $1 apiece. They are so good.:yum:
 
Had a nice breakfast out, waiting for Aldi to open.

Did our weekly and Christmas dinner shopping and now have the entire week with no shopping, of any kind, responsibility.

Just have to make sure I don't eat all the goodies before the Holiday. :ermm: ;)

I just placed an order for booze with the SAQ (provincial liquor store). I ordered it for pickup at the store. I have been wanting to try that, but I don't always have the energy to go somewhere. I verified with friends that I don't have to pick it up immediately, once it is ready. I can leave it several days, possibly as long as 10 days. Now, We'll see how long it takes to get to the store.
