Check-In 133: Harshad Happy Untritrium Craig Jones

[scottydog]

I decided to go to the pickleball courts today and play the game that all old people are required to play. It was a bad choice -- Pickleball nearly killed me. It's much more rigorous exercise than golf. My left achilles heel is killing me

It's National Laundry Day!

I'm still waiting for National Toenail Clipping Day!

This thread is making me hungry for tomato soup.

ReNext has a knack for making me hungry for something all the time. Often it's Dawn Wells

How's your dryer doing?

Seems to be working now.

Hey congrats! You have mad skills indeed

Hey, wasn't it just first thing in the morning?

Hey, wasn't it just 1980?

I wonder if there's any such thing as a Honeylessmoon.

There are probably way more honeyless moons than honeyfull ones

A corduroy jacket with elbow patches sounds cool, but I don't smoke and if I let my beard grow in I start to look like Arvin Sloane.

Once again you have me scurrying to the interwebs. Is this the Arvin Sloane of which you speak?

Good morning, everyone.

This morning I have a dentist appointment at 7am-- after that, the sky's the limit! Whoo!

There's some company out there laying cables for cable TV.
30 years after we could have used it.

It must have taken an act of Congress.

Seems to be working now.

Maybe it just needed a blood sacrifice.

I decided to go to the pickleball courts today and play the game that all old people are required to play.

I'm a conscientious objector.

ReNext has a knack for making me hungry for something all the time. Often it's Dawn Wells

That's a constant hunger.

Hey, wasn't it just 1980?

I always feel like 1969 is right over my shoulder.

There are probably way more honeyless moons than honeyfull ones

Sad but true.

Once again you have me scurrying to the interwebs. Is this the Arvin Sloane of which you speak?

That's the guy.

agreed -both go in the bin!

Harsh.

no.... i prefer home created vegan porganic....i dont put muck into me.but itd be good to meet everybody 'live' for a half hour coffee chat or wine sip/.

Okay, but the idea was to laugh at each other grimacing.

ok lets figure a toime/day/date both US-us and euro-us can meet....in may...

We've got at least three or four different time zones, depending on who participates, but I am theoretically available 24 hours a day.

exclkuded yet again! im a middle aged chick...lol

Chaps are like guys. Everybody's in.

alas jove ids a word scrabble does not allow

Why? Because it's Latin? There are a lot of borrowed words in English.

my sons been born and done schooling since...

How's his new job going? Is he doing anything to get his sword back?

yesterdsay:

Monster cookies?

[scottydog]

Happy Tuesday, everyone

Today I'll golf with the General and Clark Gable Jerry. Not much else on tap

ok lets figure a toime/day/date both US-us and euro-us can meet....in may...

You're 5 hours ahead of me, RJ, and Cayla. And you're 8 hours ahead of Lupy, 6 hrs ahead of Gary. This will make it challenging to schedule a Zoom, but we should try!

If Elara joins us, we may get visual evidence of all her injuries.

i champagned my divorce too

My theory is that people who initiate the divorce will celebrate, whereas people whose divorces were done unto them are mad or sad.

ill do 6 loads today!

Six loads of laundry? That's a lot of dirty clothes.

pickled balls? um.....

Pickleball is a strange game similar to tennis but played on a much smaller court. The ball is very lightweight, sort of like a whiffle-ball, and the paddles are like over-sized pingpong paddles. It's fun but it requires quick movements and fast reflexes, none of which I have anymore

This morning I have a dentist appointment at 7am-- after that, the sky's the limit! Whoo!

The General as your dentist would demand that your teeth all stand at attention. He'd even want them to do pushups.

I decided to go to the pickleball courts today and play the game that all old people are required to play.

I'm a conscientious objector.

I'm not sure that's allowed. Pickleball is part of every old person's job description.

I always feel like 1969 is right over my shoulder.

I thought I saw you in those Woodstock photos. Weren't you the one rolling around in the mud?

[Lupine]

Good morning, zoomers.

It's National Librarian Day!
Here is clean up this mess day.

This morning I have a dentist appointment at 7am-- after that, the sky's the limit! Whoo!

Good luck!

There's some company out there laying cables for cable TV.
30 years after we could have used it.

It must have taken an act of Congress.

It's just such a weird thing to put in after all this time.

alas jove ids a word scrabble does not allow

Why? Because it's Latin? There are a lot of borrowed words in English.

I wonder if they allow "Jovial"? I haven't played Scrabble in so long I can't remember the rules.

[RJDiogenes]

Good evening, everyone.

I really have to start organizing my books blindfolded-- I can't stop myself from looking at every single one.

You're 5 hours ahead of me, RJ, and Cayla. And you're 8 hours ahead of Lupy, 6 hrs ahead of Gary. This will make it challenging to schedule a Zoom, but we should try!

huggle is also in a separate time zone. Elara is probably the same as Gary, but I don't know.

If Elara joins us, we may get visual evidence of all her injuries.

Yikes. Curse of the Elara.

The General as your dentist would demand that your teeth all stand at attention. He'd even want them to do pushups.

He'd shoot half of them as deserters.

I'm not sure that's allowed. Pickleball is part of every old person's job description.

Canada, here I come.

I thought I saw you in those Woodstock photos. Weren't you the one rolling around in the mud?

I'm the topless one.

It's National Librarian Day!

Cool, I'll check her out.

Good luck!

All is well, aside from my tortured gums.

It's just such a weird thing to put in after all this time.

Is it going to be any good to you?

[Lupine]

^I already have DirecTV and a pretty good internet provider, so not really.

[scottydog]

I'm now plopped on my soft couch, both buttcheeks ensconced in their familiar deep impressions on the cushions.

It's National Librarian Day!

I'm surprised that in this digital age that librarians even still exist.

I wonder if they allow "Jovial"? I haven't played Scrabble in so long I can't remember the rules.

Same here. I really don't like board games. I do know, however, that jovial is a perfectly good word.

Good evening, everyone.

How did the dentist appointment go?

I really have to start organizing my books blindfolded-- I can't stop myself from looking at every single one.

I understand. I have a friend who has a clutter problem. He once asked me to help him de-clutter, and I said yes. I went over to his house and it was jammed full of piles of stuff. I said, quite sensibly (I thought), let's start with this one small corner of this one small room. Well, this guy proceeded to examine every item with extreme scrutiny and long reminiscence. It took hours to go through one-hundredth of the small pile. It was painful to hear him drone on and on about every letter, every photo, every card, every knick-knack. Needless to say, I never came back to help him finish the job

I'm not sure that's allowed. Pickleball is part of every old person's job description.

Canada, here I come.

So let me get this straight. If Trump is re-elected you're okay about remaining a US citizen. But if you have to play pickleball, you'll escape to Canada.

[RJDiogenes]

Good morning, everyone.

Today is not Trash Day, because Monday was Patriot's Day.

^I already have DirecTV and a pretty good internet provider, so not really.

What a shame. Hopefully it will be useful to somebody.

I'm surprised that in this digital age that librarians even still exist.

It's a tradition that must be preserved!

How did the dentist appointment go?

Fine. It was just a checkup and cleaning, and there were no new issues.

Well, this guy proceeded to examine every item with extreme scrutiny and long reminiscence. It took hours to go through one-hundredth of the small pile. It was painful to hear him drone on and on about every letter, every photo, every card, every knick-knack.

That's pretty much me.

So let me get this straight. If Trump is re-elected you're okay about remaining a US citizen. But if you have to play pickleball, you'll escape to Canada.

Opposing politicians does not require athleticism.

he cant get his sword back its illegal

He's not going to look into getting the necessary paperwork for it?

play dough

Oh, cool. I used to play with Play-Doh.

huggle is only one hour diff to me

I think you're four hours from me and she's five hours.

[scottydog]

Happy Wednesday, everyone

Today I'll golf again, but most importantly I really have to pack for our trip to Ireland. We leave tomorrow afternoon. Starting Friday, I'm going to be in the same time zone as Maddie, so my check-in times are really going to change.

dont forget i hand wash - in a mop bucket.its about half the size of a washer

Handwashing your clothes is great exercise. You must have arms of steel.

im off out to rustington to have coffee with Charity at the cart and grab cutrtrlefish/seaweed and shop.

Do you eat raw seaweed, and/or do you dry it out? It's very healthy.

Today is not Trash Day, because Monday was Patriot's Day.

It's interesting that Virginia doesn't celebrate Patriot's Day, given how much Virginians pride themselves on their central role in America's founding, development, revolution, etc.

I'm surprised that in this digital age that librarians even still exist.

It's a tradition that must be preserved!

I remember beginning as an assistant professor in 1987 and libraries had card catalogs, people sat at wooden tables and chairs, nothing was digitized, and librarians were old mousy women with glasses who shushed people. Since around 20015, libraries are digitized, computers are everywhere, people lounge on plush couches and chairs, conversation is encouraged (altho there are designated quiet rooms), and librarians are out-of-sight tech gurus.

Well, this guy proceeded to examine every item with extreme scrutiny and long reminiscence. It took hours to go through one-hundredth of the small pile. It was painful to hear him drone on and on about every letter, every photo, every card, every knick-knack.

That's pretty much me.

The difference is, you wouldn't be boring. You'd wax eloquent about a 1942 groundbreaking comic book hero, whereas this guy waxed soporifically about the time his Aunt babysat him and they played cards and then had tea and then took a walk...

[Lupine]

Good morning, time zoners.

It's Bat Appreciation Day!
Also need to do some shopping after I wake up. Allergies kept be awake a good deal of the night.

I wonder if they allow "Jovial"? I haven't played Scrabble in so long I can't remember the rules.

Same here. I really don't like board games. I do know, however, that jovial is a perfectly good word.

Being an only child for the first 13 years of my life I didn't get much chance to play board games. The family did occasionally play Monopoly and Clue. Later in life we got Scrabble which I played with my mother and occasionally one of her friends. Not to sound braggy but I tended to win so that didn't last too long.

Today is not Trash Day, because Monday was Patriot's Day.

It's interesting that Virginia doesn't celebrate Patriot's Day, given how much Virginians pride themselves on their central role in America's founding, development, revolution, etc.

We don't celebrate in California either, but we came a bit late to the US of A.

[RJDiogenes]

Good evening, everybody.

I'm not normally one to give credence to signs and portents, but The Last Dangerous Visions is available for pre-order at Amazon. Surely the End Times are upon us.

Today I'll golf again, but most importantly I really have to pack for our trip to Ireland. We leave tomorrow afternoon. Starting Friday, I'm going to be in the same time zone as Maddie, so my check-in times are really going to change.

At least you'll be able to get over your jet lag quickly. There will be plenty of sheep to count.

It's interesting that Virginia doesn't celebrate Patriot's Day, given how much Virginians pride themselves on their central role in America's founding, development, revolution, etc.

You should. You should have a marathon, too.

I remember beginning as an assistant professor in 1987 and libraries had card catalogs, people sat at wooden tables and chairs, nothing was digitized, and librarians were old mousy women with glasses who shushed people.

I fondly recall visiting the Fogg Library in Weymouth many times when I was a kid. I've posted pictures of it before-- it's kind of a cross between a castle and a mansion. There were the rows of bookshelves, a research room, the island in the middle where the Librarian sat, and another reading area with a couch facing an old fireplace (never lit, sadly). And, of course, there was the smell of the ink from the copy machine. It was a wonderful place.

The difference is, you wouldn't be boring. You'd wax eloquent about a 1942 groundbreaking comic book hero

That's funny, because it was comic book nostalgia magazines like Back Issue and Alter Ego that I was getting lost in.

It's Bat Appreciation Day!

Allergies kept be awake a good deal of the night.

Was that a typo or is that how you sound?

We don't celebrate in California either, but we came a bit late to the US of A.

Just in time for the Civil War.

[Lupine]

Allergies kept be awake a good deal of the night.

Was that a typo or is that how you sound?

Can't tell at this point.

[scottydog]

Today was a fun and inconsequential day. I'm all packed for Ireland. Every time we travel, I tend to forget something. I hope it's not underwear

It's Bat Appreciation Day!

Sorry, but I do not appreciate flying rodents

Allergies kept be awake a good deal of the night.

What exactly are you allergic to?

I'm not normally one to give credence to signs and portents, but The Last Dangerous Visions is available for pre-order at Amazon. Surely the End Times are upon us.

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

At least you'll be able to get over your jet lag quickly. There will be plenty of sheep to count.

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

It's interesting that Virginia doesn't celebrate Patriot's Day, given how much Virginians pride themselves on their central role in America's founding, development, revolution, etc.

You should. You should have a marathon, too.

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

And, of course, there was the smell of the ink from the copy machine. It was a wonderful place.

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