coming up for air and checking in

So.... I tried to go to the  "Dashboard"  page to create this post, and there is a message:
"Your browser is no longer supported by Blogger. Some parts of Blogger will not work and you may experience problems.   If you are having problems, try Google Chrome."  The tool bar is half-visible and barely accessible.    Gah!
What's up with that???     Just when I learn my way around something, they have to come up with a new-fangled version to make me bonkers.
Should I "update" the dashboard?   Have any of you seen this message and 'updated'?   I'm afraid it will make things worse.   I don't trust Google Blogger very much, since so many of our old Chat Board members cannot even get signed in properly anymore for years.

Sara in FL - You did the right thing with your Mom.   She will be much safer and probably happier, in the long run.   (((Hugs)))

Fran - congratulations on the new grandbaby.  It definitely does not have a "newborn" look.   Here in the U.S. we still go with lbs. and oz. including baby weight.

I've been sequestered in my sewing room for the past weeks, trying to get some skirts made and some alterations to DH's pants.   I have to say that I love all the various presser feet that I have for my machine.  It makes sewing so much easier.

After "updating" Skype last week and having my computer completely crash due to a virus that was installed rather than an update, I'm getting VERY leery of updating anything. The tech said that this is becoming more common these days. What looks like a verified website says that you have an update ready when it really isn't even that website, but a look-alike that gets into your system and shuts it down. Not sure about the Google "update", but I'm not doing any of those things right now. The tech also said that having just one virus checker wasn't enough any more, as some catch some things, and some catch others.
