  Are any of you going to do this?  Download all your Yahoo Q and A stuff from over the years?  Do you value it and want to save it?  I've never felt any need to safe Yahoo Q and A stuff before but the idea of it disappearing one month from now bothers me.  How about you?

I used to use Picasa for my photos all the time, but then they discontinued Picasa, and I lost access to all my Picasa photos. I now get notices from Google saying that people who had Picasa accounts can get all their old Picasa folders back by going through Google, but that hasn't been the case for me. I can't get back any photos that go back more than a handful of years. [Only about 200 photos, and I had MANY THOUSANDS of photos on Picasa!]

So does anybody know? How do I get back my Picasa folders that date back more than a decade? Please help me!

Almost all of my several-years-old photos and videos, which I had taken with a digital camera, turned into grey squares on iPhoto 3 or 4 years ago, and I don't know how to make them become pictures again.  I know the pictures must still be there because the videos I took, even though they're just grey squares on the computer screen now, still show the length of the video on the bottom right corner of the square.  What happened that made all those photos turn into grey squares in the first place, and how do I get my photos and videos to show up again?

I should mention that my recently-taken photos show up on iPhoto just fine.  It's the photos I took before 2012 that now just show up as grey squares.  Someone told me that they thought the problem had to do with an 'app'--but I don't know what that means, and what do I do about it anyway?

If it matters, the computer these photos are on is a Mac.

100,000s of Americans have died because Trump  has done nothing to control Covid [this is a statistical fact, not just my personal opinion].

He and the republicans are clearly trying to suppress votes by taking several US states to court, saying that ballots received after Nov. 3 should not be counted.

Trump and DOJ's Bill Barr have sued to do away with Obamacare, which, if they win (and they've stacked the court in their favor by appointing Kavanaugh and Barrett)  means that pre-existing conditions would no longer be covered (or that the cost of coverage for pre-existing conditions would no longer be affordable for the average American).

Trump lies continuously--every single day--to the public, always telling lies that serve his election well (such as "I reduced taxes for the middle class" which Trump did NOT do--he gave the tax breaks ONLY  to the multi-millionairs and billionaires).

So Christians, how  can you still support Trump knowing that he's being about as un-Christian as a person can get?

Statistics show that the Covid rate of infection has gone up dramatically in 84% of the counties where Trump has held rallies in which most participants are neither wearing masks nor social distancing.  Public health experts, including Fauci, have condemned these rallies. [Biden's rallies, in contrast, always follow CDC guidelines regarding social distancing and mask wearing].

Even in Trump's most recent rallies, where chairs are spaced 6' from each other, Trump first stops and speaks to a large maskless crowd that's not socially distanced outside the defined rally area--so these are superspreader events, too.

Do you support Trump holding all these rallies or do you think he should stop?

It's happening in numerous states, including my state of PA.  Republicans and Republican-dominated courts in many states are trying to suppress the mail-in vote by saying that all mail-in votes have to be counted by the end of Nov. 3, in spite of the fact that the US Postal Service has admitted that it's running late with mail deliveries and in spite of the fact that Covid has limited the number of workers at vote-counting sites.

Do you think it's right to insist that votes received past Nov. 3 NOT be counted, even though a voter mailed his vote several days before Nov. 3 assuming in good faith that his vote would be counted?

It's a statistical fact that Covid cases have skyrocketed in counties where he and Pence have held rallies.  It's not enough for Trump's rallies to 'just be outside' because the virus can spread outside, too, given the lack of masks and social distancing.]

And what sets Trump's rallies apart from the protesters in Washington DC are the following:

1. The protestors WERE wearing masks and social distancing, whereas Trump ralliers for the most part have NOT worn masks or socially distanced during any of Trump's rallies.

Thus the DC protests did not create a spike in Covid cases but Trump's rallies did.

2.  The DC protest was a spontaneous outpouring of people that were acting on their own in response to an act of police violence against George Floyd.  No political body prompted these protests.

Trump's rallies, on the other hand, HAVE been orchestrated in advance by Trump and his people who know fully well that large gatherings put  peoples' lives and health at risk.

BTW, Trump's spreading of the virus won't help the economy any--the economy won't recover until people feel the US has a handle on the virus.

So my question is:  How can you support Trump when he's clearly shown that he doesn't care about your, or your parents', or your grandparents' and children's lives and health?

I got an email from Yahoo that I didn't quite understand but it sounded like Yahoo was going to discontinue this Questions and Answers site in a couple of months.  Is this true?  Or did I misunderstand what I read?

Why or why not?

I'm a senior woman but young at heart.  I see games online like Fortnight and Minecraft that are highly rated, and there's one set in medieval times where you can build a fortress, but I've never played any games like this before.

What would be a fun game for an adult woman to play (by herself) online?  I have a PC and a Mac computer but I do not own a smartphone or ipad or any game equipment.  So I can only play on a computer.

Virtually all European countries have government-controlled healthcare, which its citizens pay for through their taxes.  US healthcare, although considered the best healthcare in the world, is private.

Americans on the whole have long resisted the idea of government-controlled healthcare as opposed to private healthcare.

However, US healthcare has huge problems.  Health insurance is expensive and if Obamacare is done away with (which it likely will be if Barret gets put on the Supreme Court) then millions of Americans will lose their health coverage and people with pre-existing conditions will not be able to afford coverage.  Nor will low income earners.

Then, too, 60-80% of all bankruptcies in the US are a result of huge medical bills that the family can't pay.  People's health insurance often depends on who their employer is, creating huge inequalities in coverage--and if a person suddenly loses their job as many have during Covid?  Then they lose the health insurance that goes with the job.  Many of us are afraid of going to the doctor's when we're ill or of being hospitalized because we don't know how much it's going to cost us.

Europeans, however, have the peace of mind that goes with knowing that, should they suddenly become ill or injured they won't have to worry about their medical costs.  Their medical bills will not bankrupt their families.

So what do you think?  Do you think it's time for the US to change to a single payer healthcare system?

...that has made you decide to vote for him in the upcoming election?  I am asking this question in good faith.

Please be specific.  What SPECIFICALLY has Trump done while in office that you feel has benefited the US and Americans?

Good faith answers only, please. I respect people who support Trump--my brother is one of them--but how can you place trust in President Trump knowing that he was found guilty of exploiting innocent, trusting people with his fraudulent Trump University scheme? I've asked my brother but he always dodges the question.

The ads for these sites make them sound safe, but are they?  Or are there risks with signing up with them--like perhaps they'll start gathering more information on you than you'd want them to have simply because you signed up with them?  In other words, am I inviting myself to be a target that they can exploit in some way?  Or can exploit the people I'm looking up?
