Noon is Post Meridian. Midnight is Ante Meridian.

Everybody ante up.

W00t!

I went in the kitchen to get some crackers and cheese, since I just took some more pills. I knew it was there, but I also knew you were watching, this time! ;o]

Maybe she’ll decide she needs to go to Walmart a lot. Maybe you’ll discover you both love “Supernatural” and watch 200 episodes! (It has cute young men in it.)

I had a nap for a little while, so now I won’t fall asleep at church, for which I am about to depart with the four boys.

I hope she doesn’t need to go to Walmart a lot. She certainly won’t want to go at 0500, like I do, and that means I’ll have to put up with Walmartians of a totally new class...

And besides, I don’t even have money for food or water at the airports, so I’m not looking forward to “shopping” at all. I’ve usually wanted to go to thrift stores and look for Nativities, but that won’t happen this year. (Oh, the horror! The crowds! *gasp*) Why in the world they sent me a ticket for almost the end of the month is beyond me.

I can’t imagine that she likes anything that doesn’t have a sappy plotline. Or reruns. Just to be safe, I’m making sure I have my Kindle so I can read a lot.

3x3 sled layout.

I had a 3 sled layout once.

It was at the bottom of a snow covered hill.

The hill was called Cemetery Hill...

Each one of the pull out trays in the picture is ridiculously high powered computer.
They are all ganged together to carry out the required task.
If one of them crashes , only the server room Gnome knows about it. The end user is none the wiser.
As for power....it can feed the fibre output at 40Gps. 10 DVDs per second.
They do emit a nice warm draft from the fan trays on the front.

Ah. Thanks, Moosie! That helps. I’ve seen those before, with more or less trays, but was unsure of their function, so I appreciate you telling me.

And now, I’m going to check FB one last time and then head for bed. The barometer is dropping and the crystals in the storm glass are getting denser, so something wicked this way comes.

I would like to be transported to the Sahara for 24 hours, just to warm up enough to make it through the next four months. ;o]

I meant she could go to Walmart and you could stay home and relax.

I dropped the boys off at home after Mass and then went to Walmart for bananas and oodles and scads of canned goods for the Knights of Columbus food collection. Tom is taking the cans over, since he’s going to Mass.

I read an article about food banks this time of year, and it stated that to help individual families, canned goods are great, but for food banks, some things are just not compatible with the needs of families, and most are too bulky. They said money donations were much better, including gift cards for grocery stores.

The article was from Canada, eh?

I’m not a tequila fan, so I couldn’t ever answer that question. But it’s a funny meme!

I think that’s why they make dog food from horse meat— it’s just too difficult for humans to eat knowingly.
