For the Record

@lonelyandsickFede

Both you and I already know that saying we'll miss ewch other, and eishing we could meet in real life , is not the same thing as planning to do so. I have seen moderators and Forum leaders saying the exact same thing in Forum threads.

Fresh Air...and... Fresh Topic!

@lonelyandsickFede

So! You had mentioned to someone else...mayve even on your Feed, that you had joined the SubCommunity for Gamers, but no one seemed to be going there. What do you think that was about?

I noticed that in some of the International subcommunities too. It's like there are all these little unknown gems of communities and possibilites tucked away on this site.... and the paths have become overgrown and untended so not vwry many people know to go there.

Speaking of international communities:

What do you know about configuring my laptop keyboard for languages other than English? The qwerty touch kryboard for my phone has some builtin adpatations per letter...but I'm not sure how to create something similar for my laptop.

I have a MacBook Pro.

Fresh Air and Fresh Topic

I honestly don't know. I guess most people are here only for support chats and forums related to their issues.

Uhhmm.. I know how to do it on Windows. No clue on how to do it on a Mac as I don't have one.

On Windows you can add languages either from the control panel (on the path Control Panel\Clock andInternational Settings\Languages but might be wrong as I just translated it from the Italian path for it), or simply clicking on the "ENG" (or whatever language your pc is set on) next to the clock on the taskbar. Once you click it, you'll see the languages you already added so you can switch between them (which can be done also pressing Alt + Shift ) and a clickable text saying something like "language settings". Click on the latter and you'll be redirected to the right control panel page you need, and then you can add the language and put them in order so that the one on top will be the main language. Keep in mind that this changes only the keyboard language, and not the system language nor the programs language.

Of course, you'll have to memorize or look up the configuration for the keyboard of the language you switch to, as it'll probably be different from your actual one, especially for anything that isn't a letter.

my darling Dogs a.k.a. my Fur-family

@lonelyandsickFede

Unfortunately Schoeni died in 2005 @ age 17. She is the good girl with the big ears in the shadowy photos. Yes... she remained Schoeni though I often called her "my Heart". (A story or two there abput how that was a factor in Angel's story). I adopted Schornd at 9 mo. old.😍😃💓

Angel is the lovely girl at play in the snow. She is almost 15, and I have had her since she was 2. 💓🎁 Both she and Schoeni were rescues, and had a rough time of it before thry were rescued.

Both super smart, with huge hearts. 🐕💓🐾

Your lovely dogs

I'm sorry for your loss :( Even tho it was many years ago, I'm sure you still miss Schoeni.

Aww.. That's sweet heart Such loving, cute, loyal, awesome friends with a huge heart.

I've never had a dog, but I know the relationship with them is always special and precious.

Do you wanna talk about it? Is there anything I can do to cheer you up?

I hope it's not something I said. If it is, I apologize, I didn't mean to make you sad and exhausted :C

In which distress so much relief was afforded me by the delectable discourse of a friend and his commendable consolations, that I entertain a very solid conviction that to them I owe it that I am not dead. -Giovanni Boccaccio

In the middle of the journey of ...life I found myself within a dark woods where the straight way was lost.

The man who lies asleep will never waken fame, and his desire and all his life drift past him like a dream, and the traces of his memory fade from time like smoke in air, or ripples on a stream.

Remember tonight for it is the beginning of always

My course is set for an uncharted sea.
