Check-In 133: Harshad Happy Untritrium Craig Jones

[Lupine]

I finally heard from jgc a few minutes ago. She was having a problem with her phone, but it's okay now. And Steve the Nurse just brought her some supplies.

That's good! Except for the phone issues.

Happy Wednesday everyone

Today we'll take a bus tour of the spectacular Dingle Peninsula. This is the westernmost part of Ireland, and the locals often jokingly refer to it as "the next parish to America."

So glad to hear this. Too bad she relies on her phone to check in -- nobody should be subjected to that experience

Do they have wine in Ireland? It must be murder stomping potatoes.

Tragically, Ireland's climate is inhospitable to grape-growing Too much rain is the problem Stomping potatoes would be fine if you boiled them for an hour first and then let them cool off a bit

I have a Civil War veteran ancestor, too. So does the Wife, only her ancestor fought for the other side. For all we know, they were shooting at each other

Perfect example of why we should let bygones be bygones.

Exactly. As a species, it's stupid to act violently toward each other and even more stupid to harshly judge others for acting violently toward us after we've acted violently toward them

Good morning, everyone.

And we're back to Normal Trash Day. I'm fairly sure.

That's good! Except for the phone issues.

Yes, that is very dangerous for someone in her position.

Today we'll take a bus tour of the spectacular Dingle Peninsula. This is the westernmost part of Ireland, and the locals often jokingly refer to it as "the next parish to America."

Next stop... Boston Harbor.

Too bad she relies on her phone to check in -- nobody should be subjected to that experience

I'm not sure what's up with her computer.

Tragically, Ireland's climate is inhospitable to grape-growing Too much rain is the problem Stomping potatoes would be fine if you boiled them for an hour first and then let them cool off a bit

They'd probably throw in some cabbage for flavoring.

Exactly. As a species, it's stupid to act violently toward each other and even more stupid to harshly judge others for acting violently toward us after we've acted violently toward them

Are you accusing people of hypocrisy?!

sort them into colors, so that each person/toy has one color....

That's cute. Good for her.

shake them in a tin....

That probably gets old fast.

apparently good. shes pleased with my work and I only have 2 gigantic workbooks and some worksheets left to go.

Great. How much longer to go now?

and we are almost ready to jump ship to the next thread ....

It took a little longer than I thought. Looks like it's going to be Lupy again.

Good morning, final posters.

It's Guide Dog Day!
Allergies kept me awake a good deal of the night. As for the rest of the day.... sorry dozed off there a moment. As for the rest of the day some shopping needs to occur.

Today we'll take a bus tour of the spectacular Dingle Peninsula. This is the westernmost part of Ireland, and the locals often jokingly refer to it as "the next parish to America."

I'm not sure I'd want to live in a place called Dingle.

I have a Civil War veteran ancestor, too. So does the Wife, only her ancestor fought for the other side. For all we know, they were shooting at each other

Sadly we're still basically chimps.

That's good! Except for the phone issues.

Yes, that is very dangerous for someone in her position.

True but it is quickly remedied. I'd recommend her buying a burner until her regular phone is fixed or replaced.

One more post to go.

[scottydog]

Another day of Ireland somehow exceeding expectations. The rugged coastline is reminiscent of Big Sur and perhaps even better.

glarhghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. all power and no flavor, that stuff/...

That's an excellent summation: whiskey is all power and no flavor. For me, it's like drinking turpentine

meanwhile i am/have been sipping:
* CONEGLIANO PROSECCO - ITALY - 2023
* CHIANTI RISERVA MONDELLI - ITALY - 2019

Ahhh, excellent. Isn't prosecco a sparkly wine? How was it?

Allergies kept me awake a good deal of the night.

Are desert spring flowers still blooming? The next heat wave should take care of things I hope.

I'm not sure I'd want to live in a place called Dingle.

I was thinking the exact same thing

Sadly we're still basically chimps.

So very true. My friend Monti has so much hair I do believe he still qualifies as a chimp.

Next stop... Boston Harbor.

They say that on a clear day you can almost see Boston Harbor... on your iphone

They'd probably throw in some cabbage for flavoring.

More evidence of our chimpiness

Are you accusing people of hypocrisy?!

If only it were hypocrisy. It's violent hypocrisy. But as you've often said, we were chimps only yesterday

[RJDiogenes]

Good evening, everyone.

I seem to have somehow gotten a lot done today....

It's Guide Dog Day!

We could probably all use one of those.

I'm not sure I'd want to live in a place called Dingle.

Be careful with that kind of loose talk.

Sadly we're still basically chimps.

Actually, we're two chromosomes short of a chimp.

True but it is quickly remedied. I'd recommend her buying a burner until her regular phone is fixed or replaced.

It's okay now, but it would be nice if she had some kind of backup. Or at least some kind of medical alert bracelet or whatever.

They say that on a clear day you can almost see Boston Harbor... on your iphone

Only Flat Earthers can see Boston from Ireland.

If only it were hypocrisy. It's violent hypocrisy. But as you've often said, we were chimps only yesterday

And once you realize that, you realize how good we're actually doing.

[scottydog]

^^ Indeed. Maybe I've been too hard on the human race. Still, I think we can do lots better than we're doing.

I'm still trying to figure out how and why it is that Ireland, with a population of only 8 million, has had a disproportionately large impact on the culture of the world

We had a great dinner out with our friends here and now, as Ringo sang in the White Album, it's time to say Good Night. Sleep tight.

Looks like I have to deal with this thread after all.
