Quick Note about Updated Themes

We are finding that some users do not like the new updated theme format at all. I have had some very rude comments about this, If you like to have your bars with some shading you can go back and use the version that had it. The ones we are updating, usually don't so it allows you to see more of the theme. 

So if your theme changed and you don't like the change, just go find the theme and scroll down the left side till you see "See all Versions" and go back to the version you liked. There is a big scary yellow warning bar...but it is perfectly safe to use the version you like!

I am very busy trying to get my knee healed and with all the exercises, PT and icing, resting..I am not getting much other done.

Have a good week.

Ready for my new knee!

Blue Grass Rain Shower Petite

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/blue-grass-rain-shower-petite/

Well, tomorrow is the big day! I get my new knee. It is scary but will be fantastic when the pain of surgery, etc. is over and I can walk with no pain. Anyway...that is how I hope it turns out. My knee is bone against bone so is pretty painful. 

I have been so busy and overwhelmed with getting everything ready for that and then having to update 20,000+ themes. I have barely made a dent in that. And I have been working so hard.

Spring Rain Drops

If you have any of my themes saved in your Themes, you might want to go to your Themes and check for updates. I haven't been submitting as many new ones because of working on the old ones, getting them updated so more theme shows.

My 80th birthday was great. All (most) of the grandkids and great grandkids were here for so much food, cake and ice cream. I didn't have to do anything but make sure the house was clean...which it usually is....but had to do a bit more than usual. Our windows had gotten so dirty on the outside from all the snow and wind we had. My dear husband cleaned the outside and I got the inside clean.

Our February was one of the coldest we have ever had. So much wind damage, too. 

Well, I am going to finish mopping the kitchen and get my stuff packed to go to the hospital tomorrow morning early. 

I am sorry I didn't get back on to thank people for their well wishes and birthday wishes, but like I said it has been a hectic month. With all the physical therapy, etc. the next month isn't going to get any better. But I will try to get a few themes submitted and keep working on updates.

Happy Spring everyone!

Marching into March

Cat Rainbow Wishes

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cat-rainbow-wishes/

Are you ready for March? I certainly won't be marching into it!

My 80th birthday is this week and some days I feel it and others I don't. I have been overwhelmed with everything that is going on. I have been trying to update all my themes to match the new format and it takes forever...and I haven't even got a fraction of them done. I am on page 21 of 1686 pages! Some of them I can't update for some reason. But I will keep working on it.

I am having a complete knee replacement in mid March and I have so much to do to get ready for that. So many appointments, meetings, exercises, etc. When I looked at the notebook the Dr. gave me I thought the exercises would be a snap...but they are very painful. The Lions Club are a wonderful place to go for walkers, etc. There is no charge and you get to use them for 3 months. So if any of you have a parents medical equipment, the Lions Club would be a wonderful place to donate them. It would cost an awfully lot to have to purchase them. I am supposed to eat more protein to get my body in better condition since it is going to need it to get well quicker. I am not much of a meat eater so we got some cases of high protein drinks. So I feel full all the time and I hate that feeling.  Enough of that...

We have had the coldest February! We were snowed in for 2 weeks and still have a lot of drifts. The NE wind blows down from the Fraser River Canyon in Canada and makes it that much colder. We lost 4 1/2 big spruce trees. One blew over and blocked our driveway. Luckily it hadn't snowed yet so my husband got that one cut and hauled out to the field, but has more to cut when it gets a bit warmer. One son's roof has to be replaced as it blew off a lot of the shingles. The snow is bad but it is that wind that makes our winters so bad. One neighbor lost his garage door and his green house was torn apart. And others lost trees, too. 

I will try to write more later. Have a good week.

How are you liking Firefox Themes?

Eagles Nest

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/eagles-nest-by-m-donna/

I just updated my blog for February and Valentines Day so thought I would stop designs and post a bit.

Today is Data Privacy Day so check and see if your email accounts have been broached. Firefox Monitor can check all your email accounts at: https://monitor.firefox.com/scan

Well, you have been using the newer theme site? How do you like it? Are you liking the Add-ons Manager for saving your themes and finding them? Different, isn't it? There are a few things I dislike about the Themes Add-on Manager. I wish you could go back to the theme you were using if you don't like or aren't satisfied with the new one you are trying out. I have mentioned that on the forum and hopefully they are working on it.

Spring Rain Drops

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/spring-rain-drops/

One thing I noticed this past week end was that the number of users "numbers" have totally changed. I don't know if they are correct or not!

I really felt sorry for the government workers that didn't get their paychecks for a month. I know for a fact that they don't make as much money as doing the same job in the private sector. My husband could have made twice as much working for logging companies rather than the USFS. But he like his job and enjoyed doing it. Many years in our marriage we lived paycheck to paycheck. We would have made it fine on food because I canned most of our fruits and vegetables and my husband hunted and fished so we would have had no problem with groceries. But electricity, telephone companies, etc. aren't friendly if you don't pay your bills. So I am hoping they don't have to go through that again next month but I wouldn't be surprised.

I suppose I will have to watch the Super Bowl this Sunday but I will not enjoy it. I don't have a team in the game this year...but there is one team I am hoping doesn't win...so guess I have something to cheer for...or against.

My pre-surgery exercises are getting easier for me but are still quite painful.  I will just be so glad when it is all over with and my new knee won't be painful. I know it is going to be quite painful afterwards for awhile, but I am thinking good thoughts!!!!

Hope you all have a great week and manage to keep warm in the east. I  know we are all ready for spring!

Reviewer Comments!

 Lightning at Sunset

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lightning-at-sunset-by-m-donna/

Mozilla keeps updating and changing things for our Firefox! Up until yesterday I answered every review on the site but as of yesterday I can no longer thank you for your wonderful review comments if you just click on the stars. If you leave a comment on reviews I can... Apparently they were having some kind of problem with them! But I want you all to know I DO READ THEM, even if I can't comment on them. I will post some more this week but did want to let you know what is going on.

~~~Recomending a Firefox Extension!~~~

Painted Spring Birds

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/painted-spring-birds-m-donna/

Hope your New Years celebration or sleeping in for the new year was fantastic! 

I just found an extension that is very helpful for anyone that is on the computer very much. It is Dark Night Mode and you can find it at: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/dark-night-mode/

I used to use a page darkening extension but it is no longer available since the big changes when Firefox updated to 57. But I found this one and it is almost perfect. You can white list a page because it might not work well on that site. I haven't found any problems with it so far. And I have been using it for almost a week now. 

I am loving the Alexa Echo we received for Christmas. I actually moved it to the kitchen because that is where I would use it more. One thing that took me a bit to figure out was the microwave does not play well with it Alexa. Took me awhile to figure that one out. It is funny because I thought it would be so dumb to have something in your house that listens all the time! 

I have started doing my pre-surgery exercises. When I was given the notebook by the surgeon I thought they would be a snap because I exercise all the time. BUT they are hard because my knee hasn't been straight since my first knee surgery after a motocross accident when I tore the cartilage over 40 years ago! Trying to force it to straighten is painful and exhausting. But I am working hard on it.

Going to get back to work!
