Thanks for starting this discussion Chris @artscaping. My quality of life gift to myself was for my eyes since I spend so much time at my computer. I upgraded my 27" display for a new HP 32" display to make it easier on my eyes. I pretty much stopped using my laptop after using the new display a couple of days. I also bought some neoprene stretchy toe warmers that I slip over my socks in the morning to help keep my toes warm since my feet are always cold.

Hoping for a pain free day for all of you.

Good for you John @johnbishop. Sometimes I think we spend more time trying to convince ourselves that we don't need a new display because we don't feel our volunteer and personal work counts as worthy. I like that display. And I am sure that your feet like being warm. My feet are like liquid ice most of the time. About mid-morning, the "ice" starts to melt and run down or up my legs depending on whether I am sitting or lying down. Fuzzy socks don't help much. Where did you get your toe warmers?

Thanks for participating in our "quality of life" effort. It seems like many may have benefitted. Start working on your birthday now.
My best,
Chris

@johnbishop, Congrats on upgrading to a larger computer screen for the sake of your valuable eyes! For yrs, friends and family urged me to buy a laptop for versatility. Due to the smaller screens I declined and when my fab computer guru ordered and installed my last HP 8 yr old desktop, I was thrilled with the larger 22" screen. Now it is great to learn that larger screens are available.

Had not heard of the neoprene stretchy toe warmers but just did a search and was impressed by the variety offered by Amazon. Methinks my "forever/always cold" toes may be in for a Valentine gift and change from daily fleece lined heavy socks to neoprene warmers. Any specific brand for just "in the house comfort"?

John, I always learn something new and helpful from your posts. Thank you!
