Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I have Photoshop CS and Lightroom 6 from Adobe and I had an update appear on my desktop and thought it would be for one of the above but instead it installed Creative Cloud (a subscription software) which I will NEVER purchase, it did this without any indication of what was being installed. And now when I try to uninstall it I'm told that it can't because of other applications that require it.
Adobe FOAD!

I had a similar experience. The only way I could get rid of Creative Cloud, was to re-image my systems drive with a recent image. Now I don't update Adobe any more!

I'll damn sure not take updates for granted anymore. Can't believe their shoving this crap down our throats...dirty freakin business!
I had to download a special uninstaller from, who else, Adobe to remove their POS software from my system.

... in fact they're so sure about the quality of their software that they're willing to stake your life on it.

Running Windows 10.
Despite all the bad stuff I've heard about it I must admit it's not half bad
Beats Windows 8, but I still prefer Windows 7.
That's my opinion after a day of work.
The only issue I had was that everything was really very small and a bit blurry.
Nothing a quick google couldn't fix.
Apparently it was a setting that optimized use for mobile devices, but I'm working on two big monitors.

I know... 
Been busy writing that book, and now a second.
And also other stuff.
And also just chilling.
To be honest, I stopped blogging right after I got a PlayStation 4...

Yeah, that's my opinion too, after 8 months with it.
It's getting better - mostly, but it has its "Elephant you!" moments still, particularly when it changes something without telling you.
But Win7 was still prettier, and a lot more "together".
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I moved from 7 to 10 about 5 months ago and so far, it has been mostly trouble free. I loved 7 since I tried the consumer preview 7 years ago and always considered it to be the best OS I've used.
I didn't like 10 much in the beginning, but have grown to like it even better than 7 or 8. The best feature, imho, is the taskbar on all monitors. Likewise, the worst has been the scattering of system settings and a fixed-width program menu. So far, the good outweighs the bad! At least I get a working weather app again!

Okay, everyone I want to first make sure it's clear...this post is not to be taken as offensive, but as merely a tounge-in-cheek joke. Whew, glad we got past that...
So, my cousin's husband posted to FB the other day that he ordered a dozen tacos in the drive-thru line at the taco restaurant. He said he could have swore that the member of staff at the drive-thru window was gay and was totally making eyes at him.
He then went on to muse, "Well, I did take his tacos, so he's halfway there." LMAO!
I then commented, trying to imitate a "stereotypical" gay person, "(In a fem gay man's voice) Eat his tacos! You GO, boy!" ha ha ha...
Hmmmm....on dodgy ground here, but I thought it was a snarky enough response to his story...
