Do you see the envelope icon at all on the top right bar? Can you possibly describe the problem here? At least you aren't locked out of your account like I was at one point lol. I am sure it can be fixed. (Sorry for another PM related post)

Log out; log in.
No go - quit your browser and restart it.
No joy; shut down and reboot your device.
Also - whatever browser you are using - clear your cache - works wonders sometimes ...

P(m)S - Please report back with results ...

Hate to quote Wikipedia but while the map's true this was lighter than it looks. He might've gotten to see snow however which is rare where he's at.

It isn't I have no idea what is with people wanting to remove statues. If you remove a statue, it doesn't do anything to alleviate the issue. If anything, it is fueling more hatred. Statues should help people provoke a thought about learning about what happened and help move away from what was done wrong. Learn from the past. Removing them only removes the potential to learn.
 
Windows 10 might end up being the death of me. I'm an adult, blue screens won't scare me but instead of getting blue screens my computer will lock up and be hard to unlock without hard powering off the laptop, which with me willingly doing it earlier, it got to a point where my computer was so screwed I had to have the computer formatted.

Buuuuuuttttttt yesterday it finally blue screened during a freeze and I was like OH NOW THIS LAPTOP BLUE SCREENS AFTER I'VE BEEN ASKING FOR THEM over hard to recover freezes without a hard power off.

Ouch. I personally didn't want to go to Windows 10. If you have too little RAM, that may be your issue with locking up.

Actually, Apple has a really decent student discount, and it also sells refurbished models via the Apple Store on line; the refurbished models were Apple Store demo units and come with the full warranty, and can be several hundred dollars off; between the two, or buying used from an authorized Apple re-seller, can make the price good for college folks.

I have more than enough specs to where Windows 10 should run smoothly. My real preference with a Microsoft OS is Windows 7 but I couldn't get it when I got this laptop for school a little over four years ago. I did not like the thing with Windows 8 that removes the desktop so I decided to go to Windows 10 last year.

And the freezing started a couple weeks after I did. It comes and goes for me.

This link offers some suggestions for trouble-shooting. I don't know whether it is a legit site or not - it just popped up first in a Google search.

What was the announcement back in the April 19 Hurricane Season Announcement thread? As far as I can tell, the announcement of an announcement is all that we got. :confused:

Oh life, death, taxes and yet ANOTHER ants issue in my house, this time starring clothing. I decided to actually fold clothes after getting them instead of procrastinating and found ants all over a few items.
 
This is soooo cool - taking a CLE course on cyber security on Safari and jumping over here on Firefox during breaks ... Love the info on both fronts!
Now back to Cyber security ... the 5 minute break is over ...

Seriously? I'm a KY native, but had no idea the football team was worth watching. Truthfully, I'm not much of a football fan.

Perhaps you should have used the 'sarcasm' font??

we're gonna see what Gators are made of ... in Dallas (I think they moved it to Texas so we'd get a full season, for once ... no 'Cane in mid-TX)
 
History can't be rewritten, even if it's bad history. A compromise could be to keep the statues but transfer them to museums.

No matter what happens, history teachers will always teach this time period and it can't be erased from history.
 
Its amazing how one crazy kid in VA can cause the entire nation to want to take confederate statues down. How can one person have that much power ?
 
Just a question? Many of us are addicted to weather. I wounder how many ppl on here talks to themselves "out loud" when it comes to weather? Especially our winter weather fans.
