Check-In 133: Harshad Happy Untritrium Craig Jones

[Lupine]

It's Bat Appreciation Day!

Sorry, but I do not appreciate flying rodents

Actually they're not rodents.

Allergies kept be awake a good deal of the night.

What exactly are you allergic to?

Just stuff that blooms.

1.He's not going to look into getting the necessary paperwork for it?
2.Do you eat raw seaweed, and/or do you dry it out? It's very healthy.
3.There will be plenty of sheep to count.
4.Actually they're not rodents.

1 once its confisctaed its gone. no chan ce of recovery. he needed the paperowkjr when he bought it to have oit legally. and now its illegal to buy them anyway.
2 its not for eating - its for my compost bin! i eat nori and wakama and one begining with A from the indo-asian grocery store.
3 lambing season too, so lots of baby sheep
4 and theyre cute.....

a lazier day today - after dashing all over yesterday. just 5 zooms a plot trot and vegetating

[RJDiogenes]

Good morning, everybody.

Well, Maddie found out why she's been having Internet problems-- her router died (in the middle of a Zoom). They're sending her another one, but it may take 24-48 hours.

I'm all packed for Ireland. Every time we travel, I tend to forget something. I hope it's not underwear

Not needed in Ireland. I hope you have a good flight.

Fascinating. Harlan Ellison was a brilliant, complex, truculent man.

Brilliant and bizarre. One of my favorites.

That's true. We must love sheepy nations because we went to New Zealand and it has twice as many sheep as people

The Sheep Apocalypse will come, and we will sleep through it.

Actually, Richmond does have a marathon, and in fact it was named Top 15 Best Fall Marathons in the U.S. in 2015.

Nice. Now you just have to get up a petition for Patriot's Day.

I remember the delicious scent of ditto and mimeo machines and how we'd all sniff that beautiful inky smell of the purple ink.

Sniffers of the Purple Ink. It explains a lot.

Just stuff that blooms.

Curse that Cretaceous Period!

What a shame. That hardly seems justified.

Even lazier than that, with no Zooms. I hope your router comes quickly.

Happy Thursday, everyone

We fly to Newark this evening and then Shannon airport in Ireland overnight. I'll check in tomorrow but I'm not sure when

Actually they're not rodents.

I looked it up, and sure enough you're right. They're closer to primates and humans than they are to rodents. This totally explains the legitimacy of Batman.

What exactly are you allergic to?

Just stuff that blooms.

You'd never survive a Richmond spring. There are literally 450 quadrillion flowers blooming right now.

its not for eating - its for my compost bin!

I love eating raw sushi fish wrapped in seaweed

lambing season too, so lots of baby sheep

Awww, I can't wait to see them! I'll take pics for sure

Well, Maddie found out why she's been having Internet problems-- her router died (in the middle of a Zoom). They're sending her another one, but it may take 24-48 hours.

I hope it arrives in a timely fashion.

I hope you have a good flight.

Thank you. It's United Airlines, by far my least favorite carrier. That means it'll be a miracle if we arrive there in one piece

Brilliant and bizarre. One of my favorites.

I concur. But do you agree that Roddenberry's ending to City on the Edge of Forever was better than Ellison's?

The Sheep Apocalypse will come, and we will sleep through it.

Good morning, Irish travelers.

It's World Heritage Day!
And hopefully part of the heritage will be trash being picked up.

4 and theyre cute.....

Agreed. Bats are wonderful creatures.

The real reason dinosaurs went extinct.

Safe trip. May there be no Boeings on your path.

No wonder the Woolly Rebellion was successful.

[RJDiogenes]

Good evening, everyone.

Once again I have experienced productivity on multiple fronts. It's like I don't even know me anymore.

We fly to Newark this evening and then Shannon airport in Ireland overnight.

Bon voyage. Is it straight through from Newark to Shannon?

I hope it arrives in a timely fashion.

Luckily she's on vacation, so she can wait around for it to arrive.

I concur. But do you agree that Roddenberry's ending to City on the Edge of Forever was better than Ellison's?

I don't think it's really productive to compare them. Ellison wrote a good story, but knew practically nothing about the show, the characters, and the tone at that point, so it really needed to be rewritten. He had worked in television long enough to understand that, but... he was Ellison.

Agreed. Bats are wonderful creatures.

They eat insects and scare off cowardly and superstitious criminals.

The real reason dinosaurs went extinct.

Hmmm....

No wonder the Woolly Rebellion was successful.

Gotta watch out for those Woolly Bullies.

We're sitting in Richmond's airport, awaiting our short plane hop to Newark. I'm bringing an empty bag that I can use to bring home a leprechaun.

Safe trip. May there be no Boeings on your path.

On Facebook there is a meme that says, "When one door closes, another one opens." -- Boeing

Once again I have experienced productivity on multiple fronts. It's like I don't even know me anymore.

Who are you and what have you done with the real RJ?

Bon voyage. Is it straight through from Newark to Shannon?

Yeppers. It's about a 7 hr flight.

Good point about not comparing them. Still, I think Roddenberry's ending was genius.

[RJDiogenes]

Good morning, everybody.

Still no Internet for Maddie, but she left a message:

Today I'll be shopping with L, then walking Tilly with L, and hope to get to the plot to water my crops as well as get reconnected online... if the router arrives today.

Which it hopefully will, since it must be close to 48 hours now.

You can never get through customs with those things.

That's pretty sick.

Who are you and what have you done with the real RJ?

I'm checking for pods. At least I think I am.

Good point about not comparing them. Still, I think Roddenberry's ending was genius.

It was still definitely what we'd call a "dangerous vision."

We made it to Limerick, Ireland, just 30 minutes from Shannon airport. In Limerick, the citizens all speak in limericks. Some of the lyrics are quite saucy.

We're so glad your back online. You should celebrate with another 19 Crimes wines

[Cayla]

Good morning!

Safe travels, scottydog!

Glad your internet is fixed, Madeliaette.

A productive RJ? What is this work coming to?

My two days off from work was hectic and sad. On Wednesday, I awoke to a text message, stating that my friend's father died suddenly. This was my second family, while growing up. I spent many of summer breaks, and holidays with this family. He had an embolism, while working in his basement. Mama Anna (his wife) found him hours later. I immediately went to the grocery store, went back to Vlad's, and began cooking for the family. They live near Vlad's home, so I brought over homemade soup, salad, bread, and breakfast pastries, yogurt, granola, juice, and fruit. Their oldest daughter (my best friend when I was a child and teen) drove up in the middle of the night, so she was there, along with her sister, who was my previous dog sitter. I spent the evening with them. Mama Anna is devastated.

On Wednesday afternoon, Vlad and I met the realtor to look at a condo in Parma. The price is right, it is in move in condition, the HOA fee is reasonable, and it is in a great location. Vlad really was hoping for a house with a yard, but he hasn't had much luck with finding a house. In this market, as soon as a house goes up, he makes an appointment to see one, but a few hours later, an offer has been accepted. So far, this condo does not have any other offers. Yesterday he spent the entire day, getting home owners insurance quotes, and making sure his finances are in order to calculate if he can afford the monthly payments with the HOA fees. He signed the paper work for the offer. Now we wait to see if it is accepted. Fingers crossed, as his mother's house (the one he is living in now) is going to be on the market, soon.

Good morning, sleepless.

It's National Garlic Day!
Later I will put the (hopefully) repaired dryer through its paces.

Thanks RJ for posting my text message up while i was awol... im back!

Yea!

I hope the food is magically delicious.

Good evening, everybody.

Well, my Kindle has decided to stop charging. Luckily a new one should be here by the time I get home tomorrow.

48 hrs would be 8.30am tomorrow mormning.

It seemed like it was taking forever.

Thanks RJ for posting my text message up while i was awol... im back!

You're welcome. Welcome back.

There once was a girl from Limerick
Who was unabashedly polysyllabic
She was eager to rhyme
Time after time
With every Tom, Dick, and Frederick

Thanks for forwarding her message!

I am the Nexus of ReNext.

I blame the eclipse.

I'm so sorry to hear that. My condolences to everybody. I can relate to sudden and unexpected deaths.

House prices are crazy, but they're selling like hotcakes.

I hope the food is magically delicious.

It is if you like potatoes and... uh... potatoes.

[RJDiogenes]

And I'm off the hook for week two of Jury Duty. Two down, one to go.

^Woohoo!
