My upgrade was pretty painless, too. Like you said, 7 is a bit quicker than 10, but the difference is tolerable. I've never been a fan of their Start menu, though, so I picked up a program that basically changed it back to the Win 7 menu.

Re: Reretaken Down
I wouldn't upgrade. Your computer was built for 7, 10 may need too many resources among other issues. The only time I've ever upgraded was from 8 to 10, and only because there seemed to be little choice. Lucky I bought something with extra power when I got it and my computer has been able to handle it, but I do have some weird issues now and again that I never had before the upgrade.opusthepenguin wrote: ↑Mon Nov 25, 2019 5:16 pmGrrrr....

I bought two bags of those to bring back with me from my vacation. They're long gone, of course.

Our local Trader Joe's has a seasonal display of Stroopwafels that practically slaps you in the face as you enter the store.

Vanna hosting Wheel was so strange to watch. And to listen to as well. What I learned during the bonus round: A woman is able to walk from the bonus wheel to the puzzle solving spot without holding the host's hand.

Re: Reretaken Down
Tonight's episode of Catch 21 did not start off strong.
"The family name of the sisters in "Little Women" is the same as which month?"
The first woman said September.
The second woman said January.
The third woman said "I'm gonna go with March" with very little confidence.
Christmas won't be Christmas with these women.
There was also a minor blunder in one of the questions.
"What men's dress shoe shares its name with a famous English University founded in the 1100's?"
Oxford was founded in 1096. They probably meant to put down 11th century.

Pat probably does it to get people to stand on their mark so there won't be time of getting the player to go where they are supposed to, or stoppage/editing needed for that to happen.MarkBarrett wrote: ↑Tue Dec 10, 2019 1:24 am Vanna hosting Wheel was so strange to watch.

Now wondering if Vanna will hold a man's hand

No matter how hard you look, there’s no official date for when Oxford University was founded, although records show that teaching (in one form or another) existed at Oxford in 1096. It was during the 12th century that the University really began to grow; well-respected teachers began to lecture there and students came to live and study in Oxford. In 1167 Henry II banned English students from attending the University of Paris, which led to Oxford University numbers rising rapidly.

Introduction and history
As the oldest university in the English-speaking world, Oxford is a unique and historic institution. There is no clear date of foundation, but teaching existed at Oxford in some form in 1096 and developed rapidly from 1167, when Henry II banned English students from attending the University of Paris.

Oxford University.
When the quarrel between Henry II and Philip Augustus in 1167 made it impossible for English students to attend the University of Paris, the opportunity for developing a similar institution arose at Oxford.
