    But you're supposed to run PC in a separate window <900ms, which is what works.

    However, on mine, one time a while ago the Forum PANDA imported it into the separate window. Now that no longer happens even with update PC Helper etc. So I have two PCs: one in a separate window for HAMs, and another tabbed here for forum exports.

    And I haven't had an export to Forum work for me at all since the switch, so I have contributed Zilch to the forum since Worker.

    I have spent over $10 getting all sort of tests for Abby. She drinks water constantly and has to pee constantly so she was diagnosed with Diabetes insipidus (water Diabetes) and her liver values are really bad too so she was tesated over and over and the finally my vet sent the information to the NC State school of veterinary medicine and they said she had Atypical Cushings. I had to start Turking to make enough money to pay for all of her meds and bills cause I am disabled and disability isnt a tenth of what i was making (but I am happy) THe doc says its a tumor cause of process of elimination and Abby is also 11 years old and Rottweilers average lifespan is 9-11. You would think she was much younger cause she is so playful and has tons of energy. She just cant get around like she used to

    I already did a Gofundme when I had to raise $1500 for a scan of her internals (I forget which one) to look for tumors. in her body and see how damaged her liver was. And believe me I have called every organization out there and I have become an expert on liver tests and values by reading the textbook that vets have to read

    By Jove I had the wrong chrome.exe. I re-checked it and lo and behold, works. I run a portable app. Just double-checking fixed it.
    Cheers :emoji_beer: (not on Xanax)

    I have severe anxiety and Panic disorder and only take the Xanax as needed - they only give you enough for your daily allotment anyway.

    Just a heads up for anyone thinking about doing work for her, she gets jobs for god-knows-what on Upwork and then subcontracts them out to others for $0.60 per media minute. If you're working for her off-platform (which I cannot recommend; been there, done that) she's also a big fan of taking forever and a day to pay.

    What I love about Ritter is that he was actually that nice. That was his actual goofy personality amplified by 100x.

    But yeah, Tequila I *am* particular about. It seems to be either fantastic or...
