> [@FairyChatMom](#): > > OK, I just googled turn off vs. leave on - the expert consulted recommended putting your computer in the sleep mode when you’re done for the day if you’re inclined to leave it on. He did say turning in on and off multiple times a day is bad for it - I need to tell my mother that - she not only turns it off every time she’s done, but she turns off the power strip that everything is plugged into, including the modem. I think that’s extreme, but she thinks she’s saving money. She is, but not much. I favor turning them off at night, to save power and prevent wear and tear. Most programs continue to use memory when stopped, so restarting saves resources. ---

Laundry is done and put away. Poke chops are marinating(ginger, garlic, sake, and teriyaki sauce), I think I’ll make Five Spice potato wedges with them. > [@Spiderman](#): > > Tampa Bay will face an Original Six team in each round of the playoffs.

Mine will go into sleep mode on its own after being idle for 30 minutes; but I have to leave it on so I can have wifi so I can play with the iPad in bed. ---

It’s been rainy and stormy most of the afternoon. Bliss! I’m hopin’ for more of the same all night. I think soon I shall go lie upon the bed and stare at teevee until I get sleepified. Sounds like a good plan to me! Nitey Nite Y’all! ---

There are 2 small stains that didn’t come out of the carpet, but other than that, the living room looks great! I’ll try to do this room tomorrow before I start sewing and stenciling towels. Then the bedroom will be done next weekend. Huzzah for clean carpeting! ---

> [@FairyChatMom](#): > > And the computer guys I used to work with said computers need to be turned off periodically. Maybe they were lying, but it doesn’t hurt to turn them off, so I do. Unless I forget, which I do occasionally. I let mine go to sleep and restart it once a week. Unless there’s a big ol’ thunderboomer coming, then I turn it off despite the backup battery. Back in The Day I think you did have to turn computers off, but that was when we all had CRT monitors that liked to get the screen image burned into them. Ah, the good ol’ days. It’s funny, I’m the person who knows the most about how computers actually work at my irkplace. And I don’t really know that much–I just know enough to be extremely dangerous. After hanging around so many computer fixit guys I know how they operate: they Google the problem. Thing is, they know how to interpret the fixit instructions and I don’t. ---

Time to recline the night away. _ **MWAH!** _ ---

> [@swampbear](#): > > ‘Tis rainin’ biiiiiiiiiiiig time! YAY! We need the rain. Looks like a band of red and yellow stuff nearby so we could have the tstorm/apocalypse part of it in a while. OYKW is at his place and says it’s pourin’ there as well. I wish it would keep up all night. I lurves me some rainy sleepy time! We’re locked into this scattered storm pattern. Yesterday we had rain then sun then repeat 4 times and today in a 90 mile drive we came in and out of the rain 6 times. I like rain but I like it more when its reliable all day stuff that soaks in and not this on-and-off downpour and jack the humidity stuff.
