There is no cure for osteoporosis. Treatment is a matter of reducing your chances of injury. If my first experience is anything to go by, this amounts to making you feel so rotten, you take to your bed where it is assumed you can come to no harm.
A slight exaggeration but it leaves me a little reluctant to try alternatives.
Battling on with my irritations yesterday, I unexpectedly discovered that my old email @comcast.net has become once more available, through Yahoo vs Xfinity. While struggling to sign in I’d seen references to the possibility of upgrading to Yahoo and attempted it numerous times, but ended up in a perpetual loop that led nowhere until suddenly…I was in.
It seems Xfinity decided to offload all us ex Comcast users and that is fine, but it would be nice if they had warned us. Comcast was my internet provider in Washington State, but here in Washington County, they do not have service, though I was able to keep my email, via Xfinity.
One of the complications of moving coast to coast.
.
Now, it’s just a matter of the transfer and integration. Hundreds of emails from sources unknown came teaming into my inbox to overwhelm those few I actually care about – why? What are the chances I will end up deleting something important, do you think?
There was another challenge, my access to Facebook, which I didn’t really care about, but eventually I got in using Google Chrome. Maybe it was an issue with Firefox. (Now fixed)
So all that is sorted – until the next glitch.
.
Through the recent winter months I spent a little time in the evening watching detective stories on my computer, while crocheting blankets for cat beds.
Now that our days are longer, I have a better evening activity: window watch.
Even at the end of a gloomy day, I often run outside to contemplate the effect of the Sun dipping below the horizon. All-day clouds often part just before dark.
.
Programs I might watch on my computer may be dialed up any when, but the going down of the Sun is a one-time-only sort of thing, never the same twice and changing by the moment.
.
It is vast – a different sight in every direction.
.
And dynamic. Every subtle change worth recording.
.
Mosquitoes have not yet arrived in force, so it is possible to remain outdoors without being besieged. Once the weather warms up, insects of all sorts become a pest.
.
Then I may be seen running in and out every few minutes.
.
Just as I did this day.

Thank you, Carolyn, for the wonderful pictures of the stunning sky and clouds, and the good news that your tech problems have been fixed. Having so much wildlife on your doorstep, you will be entertained forever!

Your mention of Firefox got my attention. If you were using Firefox as a browser, that may have been part of the problem. I used Firefox for years, and when I moved to Norfolk and started blogging on a PC, I kept it on. But I soon realised that although WordPress claims to support Firefox, I had numerous glitches and sign-in issues. So I changed to Google Chrome and that rectified everything. Some years later I accepted 2-stage verification for signing in on WordPress, and that caused me no end of problems for a very long time. I finally cancelled that 2-step verification last year, and my blogging life has been a lot smoother since.
Best wishes, Pete.
Well, I’m glad your emails are at least sorted out (it seems it’s true that sometimes you just have to let everything go and hope it works out in the end). Your photos are beautiful – and it’s amazing to think it’s right there at your house where the spectacle is happening … you don’t even have to travel to see such beautiful scenes. Hmm, I think I will have to start learning how to crochet – our winter has seriously begun and the evenings are cold.
I do not doubt that there will be further problems; there always are. I am a long-term user of a long-defunct email provider that has been taken over by at least two companies since. Now and then, the great IT wizards in the sky decide to have a little bit of fun and cause me to set it all up again and recover past emails, and so, like you, I have to wait for a download of hundreds and hundreds of now-useless emails! WordPress, of course, has its own gremlins, and I run two sessions, one on Safari and another on DuckDuckGo. I have another session set up on Chrome if needed! Oh, the joys of technology!
Email doesn’t care where we are,or who we are,just what server we belong to. Glad you got it sorted because my Verizon.net address has been unloaded to another service four times. I got an outlook.com address figuring Microsoft will outlast me.
Technology is so frustrating at times…and that’s coming from someone who’s worked in IT for an age!
We have a saying: “if it ain’t broke, don’t touch”, but more often than not, companies update their software without testing or very little testing. The updates either fall over or are frustratingly worse than before…so much for improvement. Rant over!
I haven’t crocheted since back in high school, when I found crocheting and knitting quite soothing.
Have you ever tried taking vitamin D3 K2 combination? Dr. Mercola has an excellent supplement.
You do have a lovely view. Thanks for sharing. 🙏🏻
