I HATE Microsoft Edge!

Microsoft Edge updates and takes over my computer without my permission! That’s what I hate about it. No warnings and no options. It always, always messes up my computer by deleting operating files I use most often. My video editor is gone. Just disappeared. My normal photo organizer has changed and appears incomplete.

Even though I know every year at about this time the same thing happens, it still sends me into a tizzy trying to figure the new stuff out. When one changes all the others will follow with their changes too. Usually WordPress will make their changes a few days after MS Edge.

I managed to keep my PC free from Microsoft Edge for many years until about 4 years ago. I’ve never liked it and never wanted it. I resent being “forced” to have it and use it without my permission. Well anyway, I’ll calm down now and tell you about my week.

I went to the February drive-though mobile foodbank for my area. I got two bags of onions, two Italian bread, four 5 pound bags of tiny potatoes, a bag of garlic knots bread, and two packs of cinnamon bear claws pastry. Under the garlic knots is a small pre-sliced ham. I gave my sister the onions, the bread, and 3 bags of potatoes. I gave my daughter one bag of potatoes.

I got four celery hearts, four head of lettuce, and four Dole salad kits. I kept two celery, gave my sister one and my daughter one. I gave my daughter two head of lettuce and my sister two head. I kept and ate the salad kits.

I got ten very ripe bananas and six pounds of raspberries which I kept and put both into my freezer. I’ll be making either banana walnut bread or maybe muffins. The raspberries will be for snacks or with yogurt.

I defrosted and cleaned out my freezer. I have a very hard time reaching the bottom. Over the years I’ve used various things that made it easier to get stuff out. I found that nothing makes it any easier than plain grocery bags. I number them and put everything on an inventory sheet.

I have a LOT of food. However, it\s not as much as it appears. My daughter took some of the food so it’s not quite as full as this anymore. Some of the food is going to be canned this week.

I did do some canning. I canned 10 pints of red beans and I also canned the grapefruits.

From the 24 grapefruits I got 9 half pints and one half pint of juice. I was lucky to have put these photos in WordPress before the MS Edge updates. I’ll be doing more canning this week and while I wait for the canning times I’ll try finding an open source photo manager and video editor. Hopefully there is one very simple to use by little old folks who can’t keep up with all the newest stuff.

Stay safe, stay frugal, have a good week,

Anita
