My happiness to-day has been getting my new laptop up and running and being able to stop using my Kindle on line. The only thing I lost was my Firefox profile so, considering how little time I had to close down my old laptop, it could have been a lot worse. At least I managed to save all my Bookmarks so that I won't have to track down a couple of hundred web sites.
The new Samsung seems very good but I don't think I will be keeping Widows 8 for long 'cause, even though I have installed a start button which delivers up the same functions as Windows 7, it just feels wrong. Maybe I am just too set in my ways.

Add into that 1 tablet a day for blood pressure and 1 a day for cholesterol and I am shocked I don't rattle when I move.

Just worked out what my medication costs a month, and before any new ones are added in it costs £197 a month. That's the cost for the production of it. Some are only 77 pence or 30 pence but my Byetta injection pen costs £68.24 a month so you can see why things like that are only given sparingly.

As long as they make you feel better.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
They do now the dosages have been sorted out, the nurse mentioned gastric surgery but that seems to be the cowards way out. Although weighing it up, a £5,000 gastric band op as a one off cost versus £2,500 a year medication for the next 30 or 40 years.

Bet it was a Lidl one We bought one for our youngest a couple of months ago and it's really terrific. Great value too at £70.
We have a king sixe double sided memory foam/pocket sprung mattress which is excellent too.
