I'm Not the one complaining.
I'm happy with what I've got and don't see the necessity of changing my way of doing things to suit Microsoft.

It's not too late, I've never installed Windows 10 and never will.
By ignoring the up dates I'll never run the chance of them sneaking it into my PC.

When they quit supporting Windows 7 I'll switch to a Mac and be done with Microsoft.

I have 79 important updates and 23 optional updates that Microsoft wants me to install in my Lenovo, Windows 7 Pro, desktop.
After reading this article I think I'll just take my chances and ignore them.
There's no way I want Windows 10 peeking into my PC usage.

Northern Michigan on Lake Huron:

On her first day at the senior complex, the new manager addressed all the seniors pointing out some of her rules:
"The female sleeping quarters will be out-of-bounds for all males, and the male dormitory to the females. Anybody caught breaking this rule will be fined $20 the first time."

She continued, "Anybody caught breaking this rule the second time will be fined $60. Being caught a third time will cost you a fine of $180. Are there any questions?"

At this point, an older gentleman stood up in the crowd inquired: "How much for a season pass?

Never been a problem around here. She always tells me what I did wrong!

Well stated. I've seen these attitudes on here often and never had the nerve to comment. Glad you did and didn't abandon the group.

You might want to re-think your rant.

Most of you know I'm a former NYPD Detective and former Orange County Sheriff candidate. I conducted local level criminal investigations through high level national and international level investigations (terrorism, espionage, international abductions, crimes on the high seas, etc.). Many of us saw the FBI Directors speech yesterday. Like many of us, I was a bit pissed that after Comey described a mountain of very serious wrong doing, his agency was not going to recommend prosecution of the case. Like many of us, I smelled a rat. So, I conducted my own investigation. The results of my investigation will astound you and show a clear path to corruption here. Here's my step by step breakdown of this seemingly corrupt decision: ********** 1. Lynch was appointed as U.S. Attorney in Brooklyn, NY from 1999 to 2001. Who appointed her? Then President Bill Clinton. ********** 2. Lynch resigned in 2001 to join the law firm Hogan & Hartson. This is the same law firm that represented the company MXLogic. MXLogic was the company Hillary first used to set up her private email server and account. Executives from this law firm have also donated to the Clintons. ******** 3. From 2003 to 2005 Lynch served as a member of the Federal Reserve Bank of NY. The Federal Reserve Bank is actually a privately owned corporation, c*********d of numerous banks. Several of these banks and or their executives have donated to the Clintons political campaigns and to the Clinton Foundation. ******** 4. In 2010, President Obama re-appointed Lynch as U.S. Attorney in Brooklyn. In 2015, Obama then appointed her as head U.S. Attorney for the nation. **********5. A few days ago, as we all know, Lynch met with Bill Clinton, privately, on her private government jet. This meeting was a few days before the FBI interviewed Hillary and a few days before todays announcement. ********* 6. After this meeting, Lynch said something that no U.S. Attorney has ever said. She first apologized and said she should not have met him (obviously an apology based on her being caught, not apologizing for the actual action). She then states something U.S. Attorneys do not state. She stated her office will be guided by wh**ever recommendation the FBI gives them. Why was this statement ridiculous? She is the head of the U.S. Justice Department. The FBI is a sub unit of DOJ. She is the top boss, not Comey and not the FBI. Her office decides to prosecute or not, NOT the FBI. ******* 7. In 1996 Comey was appointed as a Senate Committee Investigator /Counsel to investigate the Clintons in Whitewater. His findings concluded no wrongdoing with the Clintons. ********* 8. Comey and Lynch met back in the early 2000's. Comey was appointed by Bush as the U.S. Attorney for Manhattan. ****** 9. In 2002, Bush appointed Comey as Deputy U.S. Attorney and he was tasked with investigating Bill Clintons mass pardons as he left office. Comey concluded that Clinton had done nothing wrong. ****** 10. Comey went into private practice and in 2005. ******** 11. In 2014, Obama appointed Comey as FBI Director. Lynch is Comeys boss, as she is the head of the parent agency, DOJ. Lynch is the chief law enforcement officer of our nation. Comey holds the number two position in the sub agency, the FBI. ************** At the end of the day, how do we have Lynch, previously appointed by Bill Clinton, and formerly an employee of the law firm that is connected to Hillarys email scandal, in charge of the investigation into Hillarys email scandal, with the lead investigative agency led by a man who twice investigated the Clintons and both times found them not guilty of wrong doing, also appointed by the current U.S. President, who appointed Lynch, who is Comeys boss?????? And Comey and Lynch have known each other for decades as well. How was this investigation to have ever been legitimate????

I wonder if it really works?


Yes, it really works. I just tried it and now my page is blank, until UHH shows up again.

Truer Words have never been spoken:

Be my guest, I was just passing it along, because I thought it was funny and I hoped others would get a chuckle, too

Yes Jerry, it's a 57 Desoto, My first car when I turned 16. The picture is even the right color. Bought it for $200.00, drove it home and the fuel pump crapped out, but back then you could actually see everything on the engine and it only too a few bolts to change it out. I loved the push buttons on the dash to run the transmission. You brought back a lot of fond memories with your question.

Isn't history more fun when you know something about it ?

The History of the Middle Finger:

Well, now......here's something I never knew before, and now that I know it, I feel compelled to send it on to my more intelligent friends in the hope that they, too, will feel edified.

Before the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, the French, anticipating victory over the English, proposed to cut off the middle finger of all captured English soldiers. Without the middle finger it would be impossible to draw the renowned English longbow and therefore they would be incapable of fighting in the future. This famous English longbow was made of the native English Yew tree, and the act of drawing the longbow was known as 'plucking the yew' (or 'pluck yew').

Much to the bewilderment of the French, the English won a major upset and they began mocking the French by waving their middle fingers at the defeated French, saying, See, we can still pluck yew! Since 'pluck yew' is rather difficult to say, the difficult consonant cluster at the beginning has gradually changed to a labiodentals fricative F', and thus the words often used in conjunction with the one-finger-salute! It is also because of the pheasant feathers on the arrows used with the longbow that the symbolic gesture is known as 'giving the bird.'


And yew thought yew knew every plucking thing.

I don't know what Warren's ancestry has to do with the article posted about why Trump is resonating with so many people, but if you are interested in a look at her assertions try this link:
