To This

The repairs are nearly complete!  I am grateful that the fire was not worse.  I am grateful that I have home insurance.  I am grateful that I have a new chimney, a new hot water tank, and will have a new wood stove.  I am grateful that nobody was harmed in the fire.  

Google Keep Solution found today

I know it has been a long time since I've been here.  I have been practicing patience and tolerance for my current life experience.   Without going into detail, I can safely say that I am finding greater strength inside of me as I rise from the ashes.

Today's problem is minor compared to many of my issues but one of the most powerful tools I have activated over the last two years has been Google Keep.  I can write notes, search notes, take pictures of things, archive notes, and basically keep my entire life organized by using Keep both on my android phone and my PC. 

For several weeks Google Chrome freezes up when I open Google Keep.  I continued to search for problems with Keep but finally stumbled over an article about Chrome extensions.  I went into the extensions and deleted several extensions that made absolutely no difference.  I finally noticed a on/off button in the lower right corner of each extension and turned them all to off.  I still don't know if one or all are the culprit.  But I have opened Keep 5 times with no problem.  I even rebooted the computer and all seems to be right again.

During this entire time, I have had NO trouble with Keep on my Android.
