I get a message saying I need to update Safari but when I try there are no updates what can I do?

by looking at your post, you are running OSX 10.11 El Capitan. the most recent safari that you can run is version 11.1.2. to upgrade safari past that, you need to upgrade the OS. here is a page to see if you can run a more up to date macOS.

you're welcome. i also wish your family a good Thanksgiving. our turkey day up here in Canada was last month. :)

again, no problem. i like being able to help. i'll check out your site for sure. i actually collect coins, though i prefer the 99.99 fine silver coins from the Royal Canadian Mint.

yes, they are. i buy a roll every year as a Christmas gift for myself. :)
