You have Druids helping, don’t you?

[Monkey Face]

That cat looks almost dumbfounded...

It’s been raining here for most of the last four hours. Steady. Doesn’t bode well for those who live downhill from here... And it’s only 72 degrees. But the cloud cover is very thick, so at after 0700, it’s still not very light out.

Last night, I had the third asthma attack this week, and I’m not very happy about it. I will have to see the doctor this week and find out what’s going on.

[Silentgypsy]

Oh, puh-leeeeeze write it!!!!

[Silentgypsy]

Good morning!

[NicknamedBob]

"Oh, puh-leeeeeze write it!!!!"

It's a story that begins on the day I did. So, necessarily, it's a story of growing decrepitude, of the house in which I was born, and currently reside, and of me as well.

Mistakes that were made, and their consequences. But even though it sounds like it, it's a story about my house, and not so much about me.

Since it starts with my arrival, I should probably include this poem as an introductory set-piece. And then I should tell the story of how my house and I grew old and decrepit together.

When I Came Here

When I came here, Lord, I traveled,
In a glory and a glow,
Quite of Heaven in its trappings,
To the soil of Earth below,

Painful must have been the vision,
To the ones who chose to look,
For they covered up my glory,
With precautions that they took,

Lest a passing eye should notice,
Glory has no shroud of shame,
So they clothed me in their garments,
Not of beauty but of blame.

It's the nature of our species,
To transform our blessings such,
That a gloried gift of sunshine,
Darkens to a not-to-touch.

Yet we wrap up with the object,
Sullied now ourselves with dirt,
What this place we find around us,
But a prison filled with hurt?

I've been taught that life is struggle,
Life is for the brave and strong,
When I came here I brought glory,
What has happened to my song?

In this war that Man is waging,
In this battle that we fight,
I trudged forward as a soldier,
Now I see a dying light.

In this place that I have fallen,
In the pit of darkest night,
Orb of Heaven for my halo,
Grant me wings and guide my flight!

But don't expect the story to be completed soon. I'm still trying to put together that four-dimensional jigsaw puzzle I call "the busy corner".

[Monkey Face]

Rain, 70 degrees and 100%. We don’t often see 100%, even though it rains, but this has been a long, soaking rain, so there isn’t much chance of drying out.

Rain predicted for the rest of the week, as well. *sigh*

[null and void]

Excellent, you are back from Silicon Heaven!

No. I'm in Silicon Hell.

Trying to run off a windoze laptop, The display sucks, the keyboard sucks sucks, the OS sucks sucks sucks and Excel? Sucks sucks sucks sucks sucks sucks sucks.

I made the mistake of accepting the offer to "try" the new interface. Apparently the microsoft dictionary defines "try" as permanently convert over with no possible method of reverting the the old method. That was years ago, I was so disgusted I got a new computer just to get away from the <heavy sarcasm quotes> "improved" </heavy sarcasm quotes> every command moved and hidden under layers of <heavy sarcasm quotes> "purdy" </heavy sarcasm quotes> icons in the new crapical user interfarce.

Perhaps in the intervening years someone has figured out how to go back to the classic interface?

[Monkey Face]

You know we have all developed a certain amount of patience when it comes to your writings, Bob. We will get them...sooner or later.

And they are much better for the wait.

[Monkey Face]

Golly, Nully...will you be OK in a few weeks?

[no-to-illegals]

Thanks for the ping. Am late moving for which Darks may get me. Asking for mercy Darks.

[NicknamedBob]

"Perhaps in the intervening years someone has figured out how to go back to the classic interface?"

Actually, though I'm not conversant with the details of it, I think that's true.

I have a friend with a small tablet computer that he brings to meetings, and it has both a bluetooth keyboard and a "skin" of past interfaces available.

[no-to-illegals]

Me thinks the kittah, in photo, is ready for lunch after having eaten only a short time ago.

Morning T-c and everyone.

Wow! A zot thread. Good going everyone!

[no-to-illegals]

Like a Virgin ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-khULLjtgU ... and a copy to open. Nice flight!

[null and void]

Yes. The real computer goes in the shop Monday.

[null and void]

190%? Try 190(insert proof symbol here, simple on a mac) or 95% alcohol.

[no-to-illegals]

any idea if it was a cloud attack?

[no-to-illegals]

Nully, am asking because have notice my virus protection has initiated cloud protection. First time had seen and noticed the notice last week.

[null and void]

No, simply age and use. I’ve known it was fading for a couple months, bought a 1T external drive to back everything up in July. Didn’t have the wit to do daily backups and have lost everything since July 10th.

Thursday I could hear the drive’s whine dip and recover, dip and recover. Then it wouldn’t spool up at all on restart.

Purely a hardware issue.

[no-to-illegals]

10-4 ... hoping you’re at full capacity soon.

[Tax-chick]

I don’t think my catz would try to eat that.
