AHH! "G" mail.
All hail the lord Google.
It knows what you want to do even if you don't know yourself.
O.K. I don't use Gmail so I think that is where our problem arises.
I should apologize and get out of this conversation, so adios.

Spam - Good Advice

If the recipient <even erroneously> places them in their spam folder, not the sender.

I do have to, on occurrence, mark some emails as "Not Spam" because they were erroneously placed there by the email client.

My e-mail always asks me "if this is spam"until I train my spam folder to intercept the e-mails that I have placed there before. Maybe I should have prefaced this conversation by saying that I use Mac. I don't know if that would make a difference or not.

Spam - Good Advice

Jerry,
How does putting e-mail into your spam folder get you labeled (and buy whom) a spammer?
I'm confused. Isn't sending unwanted e-mail to people the work of a spammer?
I dump all unsolicited e-mail into a spam folder and usually don't get bothered by those people anymore.
I never miss any pertinent e-mail sent to me. Maybe I should ask Leo?

Apple Optical Drive For Sale

It's called a Superdrive and yes people still use them on occasion. It plays music cd's, DVD's and is capable of read/writing. I think mine cost about $80.00 when I got it about 7 years ago. Good luck.

Photoshop lack of technical support

Photoshop uses a lot of memory, so do a memory check.

Beyond that, make sure you have a backup of your documents, initialize the system disk, and reinstall the operating system and applications. I would start with Photoshop and make sure it doesn't crash your system, then reinstall applications while periodically checking that none of them crash your system.

Don't even think about reinstalling your operating system unless your computer is from 1985 and you have a disk somewhere lying about. You'll wind up with a boat anchor!

Course's for using a Smartphone for Photography

But what if the phone camera will meet their needs?
What if they don't NEED a "real" camera?

I suppose they're wrong then?
Just because you poo-poo cell phone cameras doesn't mean everyone should.

Beginner market???
Most of them are probably "Look, my cell phone has a camera too.".
They are the new Instamatic buyers. But cell phone cameras can do so much more than Instamatics!
Some cell phone cameras are excellent by the way.

And then some. My son doesn't subscribe to iPhones but just got an Android type with all the bells and whistles.
I tried to "wow" him with one of my moon shots taken with a 600mm lens and he came back with one he took that blew me away with detail and zoomed like mine. My phone is always with me but my camera is not.

Typewriter Keyboard

My wife is a science geek, She types about a million words a minute without any grammatical errors. She turns spell check off because a lot of the words she types aren't recognized by the computer and are auto corrected to something else. She does this while listening to whatever music on her head phones and occasionally glancing up at the TV. Me, if my phone rings I loose my train of thought. (My mind got off at the last station)

Do anyone on UHH still use potato mashers?

Add a bit of warm whole milk, crème and / or butter. You can get a velvety smooth delicacy.

You can't tell by taste anymore, lumps are the only way to know that they are real.
And yes, with milk and butter.😋

Bean bags

Although not a beanbag a nice rest for a car window is a strip of split cylinder foam rubber pipe insulater. It can be carried in the door pocket, always ready. One bit of advice, don't drive off with the window partially down or it will be gone.

👍🏻👍🏻
Always have one of them in the back cup holder.
