Advice please

I've been using Libre Office for awhile now, but I've decided to try and buy an older version of Microsift Office instead. First, which version do you suggest I go for? And second, can I just buy Office alone, or do I have to get everything else, too? Thanks in advance!

Period Of Adjustment

Col. Potter: Let's, uh,
clear the air, Klinger.
I think we both realize
you're no Radar.

Klinger: So they tell me, sir.

Potter: But by the same token,
Radar is no Klinger.

Klinger: I don't follow you, sir.

Potter: Folks around here were
awfully fond of Henry Blake
when he ran this fort,
weren't they?

Klinger: Well, sure!
The colonel was
a top-notch kind of a guy.

Potter: You bet he was.
And believe me,
my first days in his shadow
were a mite uneasy.
Nobody was jumping
for joy over me.

I was no Henry Blake.
Never tried to be.
That didn't mean I was better
or worse. Just different.
The thing is
the people here gave me
a chance to get comfortable
and to make this job
Sherman Potter's.

I guess maybe I forgot that
when you took over for Radar.
What I'm trying
to tell you is
you need the time
to take this job
and make it Max Klinger's.

So just do it!
And if you need some help,
if you've got a question,
just knock on my door.
Is that clear, Max?

Klinger: Crystal clear, sir.

Potter: All right.
As of right now,
Radar's office is closed.
Klinger's is open.

Okay. We'll open tomorrow.

Having trouble opening files

I went to save a file this afternoon, and it wouldn't save. There was an error message. Tonight when I tried to open a file to edit it, it said the same error message. Could not complete your request because of a program error. So I click Learn how to fix, but it told me to update my program. I have the latest vers. of Photoshop. So what do I do now?

Lonely and miserable

Tonight at Bible study at our church, we got into a discussion about being single and being lonely (thanks to me). I (F 54), being only divorced a few years, feel lonely. I was in an emotionally, mentally, and verbally abusive relationship so I don't ever want to go through that again. But I'm still lonely. So we talked about what to do in the meantime.

Our leader, who recently helped me move earlier this year, said that while I was packing, the music I was listening to wasn't Christian. (I was listening to 80's on 8 through the XM app.) He said that those kinds of songs talk about dating, getting together, breaking up, etc., and aren't the best songs to listen to when you're lonely.

Another member of the group said that I wasn't lonely, it was just the devil talking. What I am is desperate, to which I replied I guess. He said I want to rush things. Our leader then told me that he thought that me wanting to be married was, in fact, an idol.

Yes, I want to be married because I HATE being single, and because I feel like people around me are thinking I'm weird for not being married. But I don't see that as being an idol.

Actually, I feel like Sarah, Abraham's wife, who was impatiently waiting to have a child. Only I'm impatiently waiting to find God's match for me in a husband. No, I don't want to get into an abusive marriage again, but yet I'm so sick and tired of waiting for the right man to come along. I don't want to be 70-80 years old before I finally find the one God has planned for me. But there again, does He REALLY have someone planned for me, or am I meant to be single the rest of my life - single and miserable.

So I've been on several dating sites, most recently Christian Dating For Free, and nothing. I DID have one guy start talking to me, but then a very good friend who knows how to use the internet asked me if she could check on him. I said yes, she did, and promptly told me he was catfishing me. Now I have no one talking to me there.

I also suffer from ADHD and am on the Spectrum (high functioning), so I figure maybe it's that that's scaring them away. Or something I wrote in my profile (I don't tell them about the ADHD/autism until much later). I don't know. I just know that I want to have someone special in my life right now, because even though I love my cat dearly, I'd like to hear," I love you, sweetheart," before I go to bed. Not, "Meow."

So what did you all do while you were waiting to find your special someone? Did you actively go looking, or wait for someone to just show up? How did you keep yourself busy and not thinking about being single? Advice is welcomed!

Italian Chicken Linguini Alfredo (my own recipe)

Two boneless, skinless, chicken breasts, cut and cubed

Italian seasoning - to taste

Two bunches of green onions, finely chopped

4 tbsp. butter

1 package of linguini noodles

two jars of your favorite alfredo sauce

In a large saucepan, put the butter in the pan. Take the chicken breasts and cut them into bite-sized cubes. Then cut up the green onions and put them in the pan. Sprinkle the meat and onions with the Italian seasoning to your taste. On medium-high heat, cook the mixture until the chicken is done and the onions are translucent.

While that's cooking, in a large pot, boil some water for the noodles. Once it's boiling, put them in and cook until done. Drain. Put back into pot. Then add the chicken and onion mix. Finally, stir in two jars of your favorite Alfredo sauce, and stir until well mixed. Serve warm.

I have been confused lately about something. On Wednesday afternooon, I was talking with my mom, and I asked her if she thought masturbation was a sin. She couldn't tell me. Gotquestions.org says yes because it's usually associated with lusting after someone. But it says if it's your spouse, then it might be, because they're focusing on self, not the spouse.

But what about if you're divorced, and using memories of times with your former husband? What about then? Gotquestions says it's ultimately up to you and God, but what are your thoughts? I'm curious to know.

I have an alternate universe Stargate SG-1 fanfiction trilogy I’ve written that I’ve printed (on my printer), into three, three-ring binders to be like books. But they’re big and unwieldy to hold for reading. So someone in the Stargate thread told me that Amazon will publish them into actual books for me. But I don’t know how to do it. I just want to make about 6-8 copies for me and people that want to read them. I even made my own covers and spine covers for the books.

I would like to do this once they’re ready to go. So if any of you can help me, I’d greatly appreciate it! TIA!

So for context, I know my birth mom and where she lives. I also know I have a half-sister.

On Christmas Day at 8:15 pm, My sister contacted me via Facebook Messenger, and said she found out about me via our mom when my records were opened. She said she was so excited to learn about me and have a sister now, and she wanted me to meet her and her family, too. I just bawled!

Fast forward to today. Some ladies, my mom, and I are going to a women's conference at Keystone, SD, the end of May. So I wrote my sister and told her we were coming out early, and asked if we could meet. She immediately said yes, and I asked if I could meet my birth mom. The next day she told me that both of them would be there!

So when the time gets closer, I'll tell my sister what motel we'll be at and discuss times when we can meet. I'm so tickled and excited, I could just shout! I will let you all know how it goes after the meet-and-greet. Please pray it goes okay!
