The Kitchen Table

Has your regular Google changed to Google France?

15 years ago

Well....mine has!

I haven't been able to find out why either. Have they been hacked into, or perhaps a server is down?

Or worse...have I picked up a virus?

Has your Google changed?

I've checked all the Google settings, and they are the same as they were.

My Google is the same it's always been. Hope you find out what is wrong!

What does blotchy maple stain look like? Google has failed me...
Q
Comments (6)
I have medium stained maple cabinets. As I've followed another thread here today I have remembered how when they first arrived and were put in I was so disappointed and awfully afraid I was that I would always see the blochiness. That hasn't happened. I quit noticing it as soon as the kitchen came together, and everything got put back in place, it just adds to the warmth and character now, IMO. I actually like the unevenness of the finish now. Really. The unevenness of the finish is what separates real wood from laminate imitators -- check out a laminate floor or door, nothing blotchy there, easy to photoshop a picture. "This is no picture," my cabinets seem to be saying. Three years later, I'd even choose maple again -- tough stuff, not a ding or scratch on it yet, with cooks, kids, foster kids, and bulldogs. That's saying something. The picture I added is mid-reno. In the finished kitchen I can't take a distant photo with the island and pendants in the way -- seeing it all at once is really the only way to notice the differences. The left side of the photo is engulfed in shadows, so ignore that (it has similar variations)-- the right side of the photo is an accurate representation of the finish. The place that particularly bothered me was stark change from dark to light when comparing the two base cabinet doors (same cabinet), second and third doors from the right. Those are behind an island now and like I said, they wouldn't/don't bother me at all now.

Janie in GA....I know exactly what you mean with the "sweaty" moisture issues....we live in GA also... DH is a veteran and his hearing loss is service related...it has taken me many years to get him to consider filing for a disability through the VA..and even after allowing me to start the process for him...it was a lengthy process, but to answer your question...the aides are made by Phonak (swiss mfg) and he has a "smart link" his aides are blue tooth compatiable and the smart link is a wireless fm receiver that goes directly to his aides for meetings, church, etc...those kind of things that volume does not help....his biggest problem is understanding what is being said...but now, he hears things he hasn't heard in 40 years and they make him extremely nervous in some situations....the audiologist found his situation unique and has been very helpful. The VA provided all of the items mentioned above, plus his batteries and an alarm clock that buzzes and vibrates under his pillow and turns on a bedside lamp for him....it works GREAT!

Fluff post of sorts: Do you “Google Earth” your own property?
Q
Comments (41)
Iris...last night I was up to really late doing this. I had done it years ago but forgot so did my house and found that it featured the whole length of the side and very little of the front. It's on a corner lot on three city lots The side street view was about three years old because my neighbor's house was for sale and our picket fence needed to be repaired. So the camera went up the alley behind my house. When it went to the main street it passed my house with two flags hanging out front..one on the porch and one on a pole. So this shot was three years ago because I took the one flag down. However, when I put the arrow down the street, there was only one flag and a historical plaque which was put in front of the house less than a year ago. So weird. I went to my childhood home which was a lovely 1850 clapboard house with dark green louvered shutters. Now it a big ugly white aluminum box. I went to my parents' house where the other half of my childhood was spent and it's not looking nearly as nice as when the parents had it. But the house I really wanted to see was first house we owned when we were in our early 20's and had babies. I can't get on the street. When I type in the address it goes to the street where there is a sign for my street but it won't let you go down it. I can see the stone chimney from the other street and that's it. Disappointing.

Would by any chance your husband be playing a prank on you by changing your setting? And then changing his on his laptop to play off it being and internet glitch?

I did that once to a boyfriend who would always want to use my computer to 'check his email'. He would always change my computer setting to what he liked. I yelled at him constantly for it and told him to stop doing this. He ignored my wishes.

Soooo, one day after he had left, I went to my computer and saw that he had left his Gmail account open. So I changed the language on his Gmail to Hindi. Bwhahaha. The whole page was in Hindi. It's easy to change back of course with a click on to the 'English' from the pull down. But you have to be able to read Hindi in order to find the word in Hindi for 'English'. Bwhahaha. I'm sure he had to call around for tech support to talk him through the change back.

I think he "got it". I haven't had a problem with my computer setting since.

Well...dad gum...I meant FRENCH! LOL

Once before this happened but that time it was in Spanish and I guess I just had horrid flash backs to not being able to read spanish. By the way, I don't speak French either...hahahaha!

My hubby fixed it! It happened with I down load my update for Adobe Flash. I didn't dump my "cache" he said...I told him I didn't have no "cache' to dump! (smile)

Oh I just read your post dilly dally..hahaha!!!

I would have "spewed" if David pulled that joke on me as I frantically tried to figure out where the french was coming from. He was stumped too but figured it out. Luckily he is a Data Engineer so he stayed calm where as I was emoting all over the living room..so to speak!!!

Thanks friends for calming my nerves with your comments and help!

I just opened Google in Internet Explorer. There is an option to change the language. Did you try doing that? it's under the search bar. I can have it in French if I want it.
