Good morning, bloggers!
I hope that everyone is doing well.
So, does anyone have predictions on how McConnell will react if the House passes a bill mirroring the one the Senate passed -- which does not have wall funding in it.

Looking for a new laptop (preferably 17in monitor PC format) , anyone have recommendations on brands or where to buy? So far I'm looking at Best Buy and Costco. Looked at MicroCenter but that seemed really expensive.
Oh and anyone know if the Microsoft Office stuff can transfer from one laptop to another?

I get almost all my stuff from Newegg. Their prices are comparable or better than mainstream retail.
I'm a lil surprised that Microcenter is higher. Usually if you buy stuff in their physical stores it's a LOT cheaper than online.

I have an Asus, but it is a few years old. It works well.
I am uncertain if you can transfer Microsoft Office over. I have used a free software -- LibreOffice -- for several years. It is compatible with Microsoft Office.
