OT August chit chat 2

[dumblonde]

I've heard Google Chrome is great, lots of good movies, etc., good access. Hope it works out and glad you worked out the registration process, Howie!

renee, I read back and saw you had VA on your list of possible vacays this year. If VA stands for Vancouver and not Virginia, please let me know - I'd love to meet up with you again and maybe have a nice dinner/movie night or something? Please keep me in mind if you're heading in this direction! Did you know that it was just voted one of the world's top livable cities?

[renee]

I'm trying to go Paris, not Texas, for my 87th!! birthday.
(Howie and are are the same age, you know.)

But planning involves two others who are difficult to corner.
VA was for Virginia but this morning I was thinking about Vancouver again. Hmmmm.
Beautiful, salt water and mountains, extremely accessible, good peeps, arts and
cultural venues and glorious FOOD.

I will let you know if I go to your nirvana.

Big Grin here.

Howie- Google Chrome is news 2 me.

[Howie]

Yep, the same age, 24.

And Google Chrome is a search engine I guess it's called. I don't see ANY difference than the search engine this computer already has. Oh well.....

[Frog42]

Google Chrome is a browser. A search engine is what you use to search for things. What browser does your computer already have?

[Howie]

I don't have any idea, but it's a pretty one.

Back in the days when the Internet was younger almost everyone used IE (Internet Explorer) as a browser--the way you get around on the Internet--but in recent years it's been easy enough to switch browsers or to have more than one.

Google Chrome is one of the more popular alternatives to IE but there's also Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari, and I don't know what else.

Everyone's computer is different but I've found Google Chrome works more smoothly on my computer than IE was doing. Faster, easier.

[dumblonde]

Howie, renee: Funny....you're both a year younger than I am!

As far as I know, Google Chrome is something you can attach to your tv so you can watch movies, etc....maybe through your laptop or tablet?

[SalpalSally]

I use Firefox on my MAC & Startpage for some searches.

[Howie]

Ok, I have IE that came with the computer, and signed up for Google Chrome today. Now are all my bases covered?

And someone get granny DB a shawl. Those old folks get a chill easily.

[Frog42]

You have to buy another device to attach Google Chrome to your t.v. I think it wants you to have a smartphone, tablet or laptop. I'm not at all sure I wouldn't have trouble doing it.

I have a laptop, and tried the Chrome, and no thanks. I prefer my IE. To the back page it goes!

[Howie]

Me again. I just had a good laugh.

I got my meds refilled a few weeks ago. But with it, I had 2 meds I didn't recognize, so I didn't take them.

Well, tonight, I looked them up online to find out what they were for.

One, was the same med that's in Simple Sleep, something I do use on occasion.
The other is a med for men who have an erection that won't stop! What the.......

So, I won't be using that one, but it's good to know help is available if that problem ever arises....so to speak.

[SalpalSally]

LolOLOL @ Howie...

[nuthatch]

Howie,
The doc must believe you're 24 too!

[Frog42]

Howie, the doc prescribed the erectile med for no reason? What on earth have you been telling him? You must be like a
