I used to prefer FireFox on my PC, but I switched to an IMAC recently and am finding that I love Safari.

I used to strictly use firefox but then one day it just STOPED retaining my bookmarks and profile info. It has the best selection of addons and such also but no ammount of uninstalling reinstalling solved the bookmarks/profile losses. So I exported everything to opera.

My BF had been using opera for a while now and I loved the idea of being able to close the browser and it still retaining my tabs so I mostly use opera now. But there seem to be many sites that just don't work well with it.

Opera is my default

Firefox when opera cant handle some java or whatever

IE only kept for use when none of the others work lol.

Im a die hard Firefox surfer. I just downloaded Firefox3 and it is SO much faster than the previous versions. The only thing I miss is my neopets toolbar. Yeah I play neopets.

I considered Opera when I first cured my IE affliction but I didnt know anything about it.

For our desktop (PC) we use IE but only cause I'm lazy and hardly use it anymore so I haven't changed it. DH doesn't know what he's doing and freaks with the updates so I hesitate to change it for that reason too. On my laptop (Mac/work related) I use Safari. Started using Firefox and then started having problems with it after it had worked great for awhile. Got tired of everything freezing up on me so I'd have to Force Quit everything and start over. Very frustrating so I went back to Safari and haven't had any problems since. I did prefer Firefox once I got the hang of it but don't like that it got temperamental on me!

I just love Firefox 3.01 with lots of add ons. Favourite add on? I really like NoScript, Colorful Tabs, Piclens and FoxClocks. I only use IE now for the monthly security downloads from MS.

At home I primarily use Firefox 3.03.

At clients homes I mostly use IE 6 or 7 depending on what they have installed on their Windows based systems.

Safari if on MAC's

However, if I am having troubles getting anything else to work I keep a copy of Opera on my thumb drive as well :thumbup:

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
