Check-In 133: Harshad Happy Untritrium Craig Jones

[Lupine]

Good morning, citizens of reality.

It's Super Tuesday! I would have preferred Taco Tuesday, but we have take what we can get.

As for here: indeterminate plans ahead depending on unforeseen and unpredictable events. I've already voted so that's out of the way.

Wasn't ready yet.

Good grief, what are they looking for?

Something to do with a warm-up cycle at this point.

[RJDiogenes]

Good evening, everyone.

They moved my polling place from where it's been for over thirty-five years to the auditorium of the middle school on Hancock Street without telling me. They didn't even leave a sign on the door. I thought our imperiled democracy was toast. But, no, it survives and it even has nifty new computer equipment to replace the big printouts that they've always used to check off names.

depends on if its a sensible one or not.if its sensible its fine. if not ill ignore it

I would say that if it's sensible or harmless then it's fine, and if it's harmful then I will speak out against it.

so i mustve started at rene in 08/09

November 1st, 2009. You joined shortly after we met at Flukie's Cafe.

she doesnt like fur and feather sin her house, noisy creatures in her house, or being tied - prefers freedom to get up and go out when she wantsa.

I'm kinda the same. I would never have a dog, would probably not have a bird, but I would have a cat.

i dont dsee wigs as dignified - just pompous and nonsensical. supposedly a status symnbol....to look up to....? well i look down on its idiocy.

Different strokes for different folks.

This is where my sons now working: https://www.tristramplants.co.uk/binsteds-story/

Wow, that's a lot bigger than I pictured. I guess you two have a lot in common now, planting the plants and stuff.

We grilled steaks for dinner, and then had a drink in the hot tub.

You grilled outside?

I had noticed some changes to the schedule...one employee is gone, and a previous employee has returned. The previous employee was a manager, when I first started there. He is now on the schedule as a bartender. I'm excited he is working there, again, but sad the other employee is gone.

Things change fast around there.

I was up for 2 hours in the middle of the night, and then compensated by returning to bed and sleeping in 2 additional hours.

Me too. I blame the BK caffeine influx.

This evening some guy wants to interview me about heroes for his podcast. I get the feeling it's one of those podcasts that 3 people listen to

That's cool. Post a link and maybe we can get it up to four or five.

That's exactly what everyone should be doing -- examining the tradition to see if it still makes sense or has lost its value.

It's traditional to not examine traditions.

You're probably more understanding than most.

Probably. I noticed that they never sent me a survey. They must have given up.

Uh oh. Your geezerly tummy should be able to process a chicken sandwich and fries. What's going on?

Probably too fatty. I'm just not used to it anymore.

Good morning, citizens of reality.

What about me?

It's Super Tuesday! I would have preferred Taco Tuesday, but we have take what we can get.

They should serve tacos at the polls. That would increase turnout. They used to have a bake sale here, but apparently not anymore.

Something to do with a warm-up cycle at this point.

I don't even know what that means.

[Lupine]

^I'm more than a little fuzzy on the subject myself.

Virginia has an open primary. So today, the Wife and I both opted for the Republican ballot and checked the box next to Nikki Haley's name. Not that it will do any good.

It's Super Tuesday! I would have preferred Taco Tuesday, but we have take what we can get.

I would love a holiday for Taco Tuesday

That's amazing that they didn't inform you. Now I'm curious how many voters didn't vote because they showed up at the old place and didn't bother to figure out where the new place is.

November 1st, 2009. You joined shortly after we met at Flukie's Cafe.

I think I joined in the summer of 2008. But I was about to marry the Wife at the time and didn't really start participating on the board for quite a while. I even missed The Great Crash.

I would never have a dog, would probably not have a bird, but I would have a cat.

I'd have a cat, too, mostly due to how low maintenance they are. In a few years, when we stop traveling so much, we'll no doubt get a cat and I'll spend my final years treating claw cuts on my arm and removing cat hair from my clothes.

[Gary]

We had a matter at the local (city) level and also for the Presidential Primary.

Good morning, everybody.

Today is Trash Day. That will still be at the same location.

^I'm more than a little fuzzy on the subject myself.

Gary will be able to tell us.

Virginia has an open primary. So today, the Wife and I both opted for the Republican ballot and checked the box next to Nikki Haley's name.

I did the same thing. I think she ended up getting about a third of the vote.

That's amazing that they didn't inform you. Now I'm curious how many voters didn't vote because they showed up at the old place and didn't bother to figure out where the new place is.

That's true. It only took a minute to find out from the website, but a lot of people might not know to do that or care enough.

I think I joined in the summer of 2008. But I was about to marry the Wife at the time and didn't really start participating on the board for quite a while. I even missed The Great Crash.

Everybody had to re-register upon our revival. You joined on 8-27-08, which was within a week of our return.

I'd have a cat, too, mostly due to how low maintenance they are.

Yes, they're very independent and self sufficient-- they don't have to be potty trained.

We had a matter at the local (city) level and also for the Presidential Primary.

I got that same sticker.

right....and judges wigs have LOST their value and GAINED comical status

They're culturally iconic. Things always look different to insiders and outsiders. I'm not British or Buddhist, so the British wigs and the Buddhist robes look basically the same to me-- interestingly foreign.

court wigs are not sensible...theyre silly, and they may harm the sheep the wigs made from the hair of. howd you like yr hair chopped off and pulveriused and dumped on top some idiot whos supposedly a figure of status?

Google says they used to be made of horse hair, but are now made of synthetic fibres.

in the past i have had all 3...not at the same time, but 1-2 at once. ahead, wild birds oin th windowdsill will contoinue and i amy get a dog when i retire. i dont like cats - they kill boirds, kill mice, torture frogs and claw holes in poly tunnels as well as pooh a;ll over the garden. i only had them before as they had no home and im soft. never having another furball.

They're following their natural instincts. But you can find videos on YouTube of cats who are friends with birds and mice and other animals who are their natural enemies.

L rang last night to ask if we could look after a guy down the street while hius wife went to a baby shower...

Could this be a potential client?

yesterdsay ni was groewling at FB.....i had to resign in using a code and did so in th afternoon, after having used it normally in the morning. then in the evening i tried again and coldnt get in and they didnt send the code they said they had

The same thing happened to me. At first I thought I might have been hacked, but apparently they had a pretty widespread outage. By the time they sent me a password-update code I was already back in.

i am having major problems at facebook. Iam NOT ABLE to sign in to facebook. Please could someone who knows me at FB copy the followoing message in capitals and post it on the reply option to my last post, thanks

You might already be back in, so I've sent you a WhatsApp message. If you're still locked out I'll go ahead and post the message for you.

Happy Wednesday, everyone

Today we'll have lunch at a Greek place with the Wife's brother and forever-fiancee. They've been through some tough times. Since last September, they've been caring for her 96-yr-old father who keeps having small strokes and other medical issues, yet refuses to enter assisted care. So she's been heroically doing everything to help him. Then last week the Wife's brother got in a car accident -- he's okay but there are financial issues to deal with there because the crash was his fault. We'll do our best to cheer them both up.

and judges wigs have LOST their value and GAINED comical status

I giggle at portraits of our Founding Fathers like George Washington who wore those silly wigs.

i dont like cats - they kill boirds, kill mice, torture frogs and claw holes in poly tunnels as well as pooh a;ll over the garden.

You're right that cats are responsible for killing a lot of song birds. I had forgotten about that So if I ever get a cat, it will be purely an "indoor cat" who stares out the window at the birds at our feeder. Would that be considered cruelty, tantalizing a cat like that?

I don't like Pinot Grigio very much -- to me it's a boring white wine. But I do love a good Chardonnay. I haven't had many Aussie Chardonnays -- was it good?

This happened to me, too! I was wondering whether I was doing something wrong.

I got the same sticker, too! I told the nice lady who handed it to me that I'd rather have been given a tootsie pop

Today is Trash Day. That will still be at the same location.

Does your mom take out her own trash? I hope someone does it for her.

I did the same thing. I think she ended up getting about a third of the vote.

And now she's out of the race. Damn. She did get 35% of the Virginia vote, which is good, but that means she lost to whatshisname by 30%

Everybody had to re-register upon our revival. You joined on 8-27-08, which was within a week of our return.

Oh, that's right. I was a ReNexter for a few years before that. Now I'm curious how many posts I lost.

I got that same sticker.

We should have invested in that sticker-making company. We'd be rich.

I'm not British or Buddhist, so the British wigs and the Buddhist robes look basically the same to me-- interestingly foreign.

You have to admit that the wigs are more giggle-worthy than the robes. But I'm far more disrespectful and culturally

But you can find videos on YouTube of cats who are friends with birds and mice and other animals who are their natural enemies.

Those videos always amazing me. Is it possible they cherry-pic those clips and seconds after the clip ends the cat devours the mouse?

[Gary]

I said, "Woooo. I GET A STICKER! I can't believe we don't get suckers." The election volunteers laughed at me for that.

Good morning!

Before work, I am meeting Vlad and the realtor (she is actually my 4th cousin) to look at a house. He really needs to find something, soon. He has been procrastinating.

Everyone at work was happy to see me. The GM told me, "You are never allowed to go on vacation again!"

Good morning, electors.

Shopping later today. I will try to get the SUV through a warm up cycle. Again. Hope to get everything done before the (supposed) storm arrives.

Today we'll have lunch at a Greek place with the Wife's brother and forever-fiancee. They've been through some tough times. Since last September, they've been caring for her 96-yr-old father who keeps having small strokes and other medical issues, yet refuses to enter assisted care.

[huggle]

isn't it a bit early in the year for storms?

I registered at a local partnership agency yesterday and already got 6 smilies and some 40 looks at my profile.
At this website you send a smilie to a person you are interested in and they can send one back if they are interested. You can then PM them and organize a meeting.
They also have a questionnaire with almost 120 questions and the software then looks who fits your ideals best.
Unfortunately, the best fits are some 200 miles away. I am looking for someone in my town, so that I can get emotional support when something triggers my PTSD.

Funnily, on my way home today I saw one of the candidates from my town who didn't fit with me (he owns less than 10 books and thinks he got enough education. I own approximately 10000 plus around 1000 audiobooks and think you never should stop learning). There are a lot of men from my town registered there. That's very handy because if I happen to recognize one I can watch him a bit, unbeknownst to him, and see how he interacts with people before I contact him (or not). The one I saw tonight was as I had expected him to be. Loud and a bit on the primitive side. Not my cup of tea at all

Actually getting a bit late for here.

Good evening, everyone.

Today was basically a lazing around and reading day. Once again I should try to get ahead with my web comic.

Today we'll have lunch at a Greek place with the Wife's brother and forever-fiancee. They've been through some tough times. Since last September, they've been caring for her 96-yr-old father who keeps having small strokes and other medical issues, yet refuses to enter assisted care. So she's been heroically doing everything to help him. Then last week the Wife's brother got in a car accident -- he's okay but there are financial issues to deal with there because the crash was his fault. We'll do our best to cheer them both up.

That's pretty rough. I wonder if the accident was caused because he's stressed out. Are they retired?

I giggle at portraits of our Founding Fathers like George Washington who wore those silly wigs.

He had men shot for less.

So if I ever get a cat, it will be purely an "indoor cat" who stares out the window at the birds at our feeder. Would that be considered cruelty, tantalizing a cat like that?

Chloe loves watching the birds through the windows. Except turkeys. She flees and hides when the turkeys come.

Does your mom take out her own trash? I hope someone does it for her.

She does it herself. She wheels the big plastic wheelie bin out to the curb when it's empty, and then brings out the trash bags. And she uses the small white kitchen trash bags, so they're not too heavy.

And now she's out of the race. Damn. She did get 35% of the Virginia vote, which is good, but that means she lost to whatshisname by 30%

Apparently her threshold was 40%. Too bad. But it goes to show how tenuous Comrade D's position is.

Oh, that's right. I was a ReNexter for a few years before that. Now I'm curious how many posts I lost.

No way to tell. I forget when the original launch date was.

You have to admit that the wigs are more giggle-worthy than the robes. But I'm far more disrespectful and culturally

I notice that your sentence ended abruptly. I assume Washington took a shot at you and you had to duck and cover.

Those videos always amazing me. Is it possible they cherry-pic those clips and seconds after the clip ends the cat devours the mouse?

Occasionally I wonder when there's an abrupt edit. But for the most part it's obvious that they are friends.

I said, "Woooo. I GET A STICKER! I can't believe we don't get suckers." The election volunteers laughed at me for that.

We used to get brownies and chocolate chip cookies.

Before work, I am meeting Vlad and the realtor (she is actually my 4th cousin) to look at a house. He really needs to find something, soon. He has been procrastinating.

Wouldn't an apartment or condo be more sensible?

Everyone at work was happy to see me. The GM told me, "You are never allowed to go on vacation again!"

That's flattering but ominous.

I will try to get the SUV through a warm up cycle. Again. Hope to get everything done before the (supposed) storm arrives.

Good luck with both.

I registered at a local partnership agency yesterday and already got 6 smilies and some 40 looks at my profile.

That's nice. Good luck, but be careful.

They also have a questionnaire with almost 120 questions and the software then looks who fits your ideals best.

I'm sure I would be rejected and referred to Zeta Reticuli or something.

Unfortunately, the best fits are some 200 miles away.

That's better than 40 light years.

I am looking for someone in my town, so that I can get emotional support when something triggers my PTSD.

Well, we're farther away, but we're always ready with the emotional support.

No luck yet, but the mechanic recommended trying to draw more power from the battery to get the sensor working.
