I have been meaning to get here to share with you a great tool I found recently. I had downloaded this a few months ago, and while it was not fully functional at that time, I was very impressed. For those of you who are savvy about computers, you know the importance of updated drivers. Yet most sites want to scan for free, to see what updated drivers you need, and then charge you for the drivers. Most times the manufacturers, of the products off their drivers free on their respective websites. But it can be very difficult to determine which driver is right for you. Downloading and installing the wrong one can create havoc with your system, making it unstable or even unusable.
I learned about the free utility, Driver Max, a few months ago while the site and utility were still under construction. Recently, however, they had managed to get drivers on their site for you to download, all for FREE. Driver Max will scan your system, and determine which hardware devices have outdated drivers. Driver Max will then redirect you to a page of suggested updates. Items checked in green, means you already have the latest driver. Items marked in red means you need to update your drivers.
While the program works in Internet Explorer or Firefox, for some reason it did not work for me until I downloaded Firefox. But I have made tweaks to Internet Explorer to suit me, and one of those tweaks undoubtedly made it incompatible with Driver Max. No biggie. I downloaded Firefox, made it the default browser temporarily, and the downloads and installs are smooth as glass!!!! Each driver was downloaded one at a time, and then after the install I would restart my computer. I have done about 5 updates, and nary a problem in sight with any of them. I actually have about 4 more to go.
If you would like to further check out Driver Max, you can go HERE to read and download the free program. It works with Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 2003. I hope this is valuable to most of you.
Things here appear to have settled a bit. School started back Monday, and so far, all is well LOL. Sidney is excited about science as usual. He may be placed in an advanced science class, and already he is wanting to take chemistry. When he received his new glasses over the weekend, for the school year, I hadn't told him in advance about the transition lenses. He had not ever had that before, and I thought I would surprise him. It was Saturday evening when he got them, so no daylight to try them out in. But the next morning, after getting ready for church, he was excited to go outside and check them out. He is so happy with them! He can see better too. The eye doctor said his eyes had gotten much worse from his last exam. (We have him checked before every new school year and get him a new pair of glasses). She also said that it was normal while he was growing, and at some point he would level off. So if he has to wear glasses, and he does, he is happy with his new ones.
Since the new Madden game came out yesterday, we all had the option of wearing some freely given EA shirts. I thought I would take a break from our usual uniform, with permission from management, and wear a white TShirt instead. While we grumble sometimes from wearing navy blue shirts everyday, it didn't take me long to realize I felt like a slob in the extra large shirt LOL. I was actually glad when I went home, and didn't have to feel like a slob anymore. I would have put my work shirt back on if I hadn't wadded it up and shoved it into my locker LOL. I opted for a small serving of green beans and corn mixed together for my lunch yesterday, and got a tiny drop right on the front of the white shirt. I really felt slobby then. Is slobby a word? It must not be, as my spell checker has the word underlined LOL. But you get my drift right? LOL
Our weather has been so strange, and I wonder what it is like for other parts of the country. August is typically the hottest time of the summer. But not here! We have had night temps in the 50's, and daytime highs of 85. Awesome! You all know I do not buy into the global warming farce that is oh so politically correct these days. In fact, I had read we were in a ten year cooling trend, which normally happens every so often. I believe it!!!! This year we were able to use box fans in open windows at night. We did so until towards the end of July, when the night temps were too warm to be comfortable for sleeping. We only had a couple of weeks we needed to use the air conditioning all night. Even then we didn't run it constantly. There is a chance of rain for today that I hope God will bless us with. It's been a week or longer since our last rain. My 'maters are still producing but they are rather small. No splits from lack of rain, and they are so yummy! I am freezing what I cannot give away or use now. Later I can slip off the peels and make sauces.
In a few days I hope to be able to come back here with a surprise for everyone. It very much concerns all of us, in keeping our immune systems fully charged, while we remain illness free. Flu season is right around the corner, and I want to share with you what I have learned. We know how to keep illnesses at bay, and this surprise I am referring to will empower you to do the same for you and your family. It will take the form of an interview I will be conducting over the phone Friday morning. Lord willing if all goes well, I will be able to get it posted Friday before I leave for work. Most of you are familiar with my penchant for using God given tools to stay healthy with. I shun most medical advice, as I have found that our medicine seeks to address symptoms rather than address and fix the real underlying problem. Antibiotics have been overly prescribed, and now bacteria and viruses are becoming resistant. It's an expense, and our antibiotics have side effects. How many of you women know you will get a yeast infection when you use a prescribed antibiotic? How many of you feel run down after a course of them? How many of you have infections return as soon as you stop using them? Wouldn't you like to stop all that nonsense, and use a product that will safely remove the virus or bacteria or fungal from your body? Wouldn't you like it to work safely for children and pets as well? Wouldn't you like to know it will not result in a secondary yeast infection? It is totally non-toxic, and can be safely used in conjunction with any other medications. It has been known and used throughout the centuries. The FDA doesn't want you to know about it. Big Pharma certainly doesn't want you to know. (If you haven't figured out yet, that big pharma and the FDA are hand in hand, you really need to learn). It also works much much faster than anything I have ever seen. And it is inexpensive! Who says you can't have your cake and eat it too? LOL As I write this I have two bottles of it in my own home. I don't hesitate to reach for it, and even Sidney knows right where to find it if he starts feeling "punky".
Be sure and stay tuned Friday for this interview.
For the last few days I haven't felt much like doing my graphics work. I haven't lost interest, but sometimes I just don't pay attention to it LOL. But I will upload one here I made. I have a blank copy of all my works so you can snag it fi you want to. Sometimes, I make one just for a friend or family member, and that one is never shared. I hope you enjoy them! Have an great week and be blessed!!!!
