I don't always sort things out right. I'm still recovering from a long hospital stay from CO2 poisioning, self inflicted from copd and I simply forget to breathe. It's been almost a year and I still not right. I was thinking after my last post that I don't seem to communicate my thoughts well anymore, unless it's one of my rants. It may be a generational thing, I'm not sure, since my golden (lol) years have arrived. It may be my adhd coupled with early onset dementia from the CO2 episode. I know all I can do is keep trying until I get it right. That may be too much info for the ml. I know I sometimes seem muddled but there is a reason for it. I'm only hoping it goes away or I'll be back to using an os that does everything for me, UGH. Thanks for everyone's patienence. Myra -- Life's fun when your sick and psychotic!
