phone trouble
Category: tech

my note 2 is behaving badly since the last os update on Verizon. I can't publish photos to estrip thru the gallery or g+ photos. gallery doesn't work much at all. hangouts is also cranky and sometimes won't notify me or receive chats for hours on end, which is maddening when it's my primary way of communicating with (e:Terry) and (e:Dianne). I don't even know what additional information would be relevant to diagnosing, I'm having trouble even searching for the problem(s)/resolution because it's so nonspecific.

I have lots of images I'd like to share but I'm stuck with this tech problem. ideas on solutions? thanks :-)

Hmmm, I got same phone and same provider but haven't had any trouble. My phone is getting a bit slower, so I think I need to delete photos.

I don't even have a cell phone.... The Problem is IOS I know nothing about phones but have read this from someone else on a different site about the updates..... No idea if their is anyway to go back to the previous one .....

snow and origami
Category: work

it's very snowy in PA. I've been a little obsessed with origami lately. I made a classic butterfly yesterday.

That's beautiful! Try Michael LaFosse's model next! :::link:::

last two
Category: food

the last two cupcakes.... Glad we saved them from the horde.

Chocolate cupcake recipe from the 1989 edition of the Good Housekeeping cookbook, which has great instructional sections for beginning cooks. I made two kinds of icing: fireball whisky cream cheese, and traditional butter cream.

had a wonderful time last night, thanks, guys. Happy New Year!

Ice Machine Master!
Category: love

I have defeated the ice machine! I made ice last for 24 hours!! The trick is to freeze fairly big blocks of ice - I used some ~20oz plastic food containers. The ice slips out with just a quick run under water. Then I filled the rest of the machine with some smaller blocks made from little soda cans and regular ice cubes. I don't recommend the little soda cans - the edges were too sharp after I cut off the top. The bottoms of half gallon milk jugs would probably work well but I like being able to close and stack the tupperwares.

(e:Dianne) is recovering well from surgery for the most part. She's able to make her own coffee already!

I am so grateful to Tanya, (e:bluevelvetjack), Mykal, (e:Terry) and (e:Yesthatcasey) for their visits and hostess gifts of ice, beer and mayonnaise.
