When I used Android, I also encountered similar problems. Probably there were even many times more of them. With the iPhone I don't have most of the problems. I switched to iPhone more than 5 years ago and only changed 2 models. Whereas with androids I had a hard time after a year of using the phone. I decided to try another model because my last android was stolen. So the first thing I did as soon as I bought an expensive phone at the time was to take care of identification and security purposes. I quickly found a good website that helped me find out the IMEI number on my IPhone so that if it was lost or stolen it could be easily found.

No, woodrose, the only place I have this problem is here at the KT. I don't "do" social media in any format beyond this board so I can't contribute whether it's an equipment problem or a website issue. Though, I rather doubt that it's my keyboard. I have no other issues involving my keyboard. I'm a Firefox user. Perhaps that's related to the problem. But, again, I doubt it. I have a very strong and encompassing security program on my PC that has a mild nervous breakdown on a fairly regular basis with this KT site. On average...lately...it's been blocking 3 to 5 threats a week that attempt to invade my system while I'm here. When I have the time, I usually do a little research to see where the attempts are originating and so far...without exception...they're coming from the East. The unsettling part of these attempts is that they only happen here. Thank you for all your kind input, woodrose. Olychick's suggestion seems to have overridden the problem so I'll muddle along until the next issue arises. 😊

A clamp lite with a heat lamp bulb will work but you need to be careful so that the lamp doesn't get the stone hot (which it will do if its too close). easier would be a heat pad like you'd use for a sore muscle laid over the poultice with a sheet of plastic between the wet and the heating pad. As before, you want the stone warm but not hot. you might also consider a "homemade" poultice of acetone and diatomaceous earth (the white powder used in swimming pool filters or to keep slugs away from landscape plants.) you make a very wet paste of the acetone and DE and then cover it 3 sides with plastic. leave until the paste is dried out. Cover the bottom of the hole in the stone and also put paste in the hole. This is what we used in the incident I mentioned previously.

Cynthia, you gave me study material to make these cold, wet spring days go by happier, thanks. It's been so cold and wet that I only have half my spring pruning completed so far. The magnolias got zapped by a late frost on Tuesday night, more frosts expected until mid-May. The oldtimers maintain that we can get a frost until Memorial Day. Hey, I'm one of them now! I did take my two beloved Reeves turtles out of the refrigerator, concluding their annual winter, "brumation," today, (only mammals hibernate, reptiles and amphibians brumate...same difference! IMHO! 😁), and they're now in their turtle tub, outside in 49°F, and light rain. Otis' eyes seem to have become infected over winter. Their eyelids are swollen shut. I dote over these two little buddies, Otis and Merle, but you can't be on top of everything. Turtles are tough, tough creatures, though, so his recovery is expected. Here's a video of a Reeves turtle (the Japanese sub-species as seen in the video, is almost black and larger than the Chinese, continental, lighter colored nominate species which mine are, diminutive adults now at just under 4", shell length....very little, but loaded with personality, for a turtle!). It's the same breed as my two, who is skate boarding. It's hilarious! Focusing attention/affection onto a person or completely other species, such as the cat in the video, is not uncommon among turtles, as is the case in this video. m.youtube.com/watch?v=bVbtAYPSapw&pp=OgcJCdgAo7VqN5tDtD Moses.
