    Yeah, don't get me started on AARP.  I really appreciate getting their magazine each month with a big cover story from some famous movie star showing how much better their retirement is than mine. angry  Andl I love those "Round the World" cruises they offer.  Just makes my day! frown 

    Don't get me wrong, I'll take their 5% discount at places I don't go.  And if I show the AARP card at an Outback Steakhouse when on one of my infrequent mini-adventures I save enough to give a mediocre tip to the waitress.  And if I actually go somewhere and have to stay in a hotel I get a discount, which is essentially the same discount I could get (and often do) by booking through some website like "Orbitz".  And I'm glad there are apparently hoards of ancient people fighting the powers that be to keep them from eliminating my Social Security.  But I wish the magazine would just once have an article on the front cover featuring some poor 70 year old overweight schmuck on a very limited fixed budget with essentially no savings, lame from arthritus, living alone with frequent cardiac and urinary doctor appointments and a 15 year old car that needs to be maintained because he can't afford even a cheap used car and it has to last him the rest of his life (that based on family history, could be as much as 15 more years) because there is no useful public transit in his area.  Yep, I'd like to see that article. devil   Life sucks, then you die.  But as long as you like classical music (or other life affirming activity) it's all worth it! yes

    Well Heck, I thought AARP mag had pinups of grannies!  I don't think I'll join any more. I was looking forward to articles like "No Viagra? New uses for popcicle sticks and duct tape", you know, useful stuff.

     

    Maybe I'll start a magazine called "Old Age Sucks" and cover things like "20 ways to survive if you're out of Depends" and "How to catch and cook neighborhood pets".  And granny centerfolds!!!!

     

    no Naked Grannies In A Magazine Centrefold (NGIAMC) to be posted to the forum though.

    complaint - the starbucks was so backed up by mobile orders, i had to leave without my cappuccino this morning or be extra late for work.

    anyway, went back at lunch time and explained to the supervisor, they made me a fresh one. smiley

    i've lost track of my retirement countdown. somethin like 5 years.  my left hand doesn't have the squeeze strength it used to have, trouble squeezing the standup toothpaste. trouble squeezing the nail trimmers in my left.  right hand is fine.

    buffalo don't have wings, why do they call it buffalo wings?

    perfect chill out weather for the crockpot this weekend. potato stew i think, mm mmm.  i call it klah stew. klah was the drink in the Pern novels, telepathic dragons bonded to their riders. fire lizards.

    Morning. Slate grey sky giving up some sweet smelling rain. Day off today, is big horse race day so we get a holiday locally, seems to be a peculiar Melbourne thing the rest of the country complains about.Guess they could have the day off as well if they want :)

    Nice!  I want a day off for armadillo races!

     

    What in the world is that? Is it a real thing? I've heard of stranger which is why I'm not sure and asking.

    Yes it is real: https://www.sparksagency.com/Armadillo_Racing.html

     

    And here are some videos:

    ...well after shoppng around a bit, found local service provider which has has a very high satisfaction rating (twice that of Comcast or CentryLink, the two majors here).  For 59$ a month  (no activation feem no contract)I can get 100 MB/s service.  

    Umm, that would be 100 mb/s.  It is megabits, not MegaBytes.  When I had 150 from Comcast/Xfinity, I would routinely get real speeds ranging from 750KB/s to 5 or 6MB/s.  Now, with Fios 100/100, it's so fast you can't blink!  I routinely download a 30MB file and it's down in 1 second!  I've seen reported speeds of 90 MB/s!  I almost had to pinch myself!  surprise  Of course, it always depends on the sending server.  Some of them just aren't that fast to begin with.

    Dana

    ...ummm it is megabytes.  I talked to them directly and as I mentioned they have a very excellent customer rating.

    Because the sales rep told you so?  Not even full fiber gives you that as a base speed!  If you look at the specs I'm sure you'll see megabits per second.  What is the name of the service?

    Dana

    I get 200 mb/s service with our cable internet. I can get up to 500 mb/s for a business plan.

    If you want mega bites per second, come here in the Summer, the mosquitos are terrifying.You could even suffer a terror bite!!!!

    What makes you think Yodas are bi-sexual?  Or that they even have babys?  Perhaps they just bifurcate like bacteria.  Or bud like yeast.  Or regenerate like Dr. Who.  surprise

    Or is it possible that the Yoda was the last of his kind?  surprise

    ...well in the "never pours but deluges" department, looks as if after nearly 12 years the display on my trusty old Toshiba notebook is near its end. Began flickering and blacking out a number of months ago. Checked around on the Net and found a solution on the Ifixit site that worked. Whenever it occurred I would unplug the system, remove the battery (whch kept maybe a ten min charge), hold down the power button for 30 seconds then plug everything back together and power it up while holding down the F8 key. Worked like a charm until this morning. Spent nearly 40 minutes going through the routine only to have it black out every time just after the Windows startup screen appeared. So it looks like just the display is toast as the system continues to boot up normally. Don't have an extra monitor or cable so I cannot bypass the issue that way. My only thought is to swap the HDD to another notebook so I'd have my settings, passwords, and current firewall/AV protection but not sure if there would be a conflict with the BIOS. So now I not only have slow Net access but pretty much no Net access (save for the phone which doesn't have most of my passwords and is a a pain in the bum to use) until the new service is installed on Thursday. Apologies for the big block of text as inserting paragraph breaks is a real bother. For some reason just on the Daz forums I have to code them in rather than simply inserting line feeds.

    ...welcome back.

    What a long, strange trip it's been, in the words of a wise man.

    Mostly just here to hang out and annoy, due to vision issues using DS is a nightmare.. it's definitely not made for people that need high contrast to read.  Thankfully, Windows 7 has a high-contrast mode that makes most computer work possible, between that and the Wndows screen magnifier and a phycial magnifying glass I can get along.  You should see my high-contrast keyboard!  It's visible across the room, lol, super bright white keys with large super-black lettering.

    Someday I'll get a nice cup of jasmine green tea and some cheese and update everyone.. it's been an adventure.  I need to talk to my neurologist and see if I can still have beer, no liquor for me for 4 months now due to conflicts with meds, blech.  I think 2-3 beers are ok but I need to confirm.

    In theory my eye doc says eventually my vision will recover to about 90%, we'll see.   With just reading glasses I can see my keyboard, Hell, with no glasses I can read the keyboard fine.If I zoom in enough I can read the screen, at normal font size I can read the screen with glasses and the Windows magnifier, but the handheld magnifier makes it crystal-clear.  Meh.

    Anyway, enough for now.  Hugs all around {{{{{{}}}}}}

    Curious as to why there are no wild elephants in Florida, I was told when I was a kid back in the '50s that the mosquitos carried them away.

    But several decades later I learned of the history of Florida and how the early settlers horses would be killed by hoards of mosquitoes causing the horse's throats and nostrils to swell so much that they died of suffocation.

    Incidentally, it seems that it is now possible to totally eliminate selected species of mosquitos via a new genetic manipulation technique.  I mean all the way, extinct!  It's been tested on a small scale and has worked quite well in isolated areas.  The big question now is not "can we?" but "should we"?

    ...thank you. Yeah feel I need one of those easy read keyboards myself. Still OK with reading glasses. More annoyed that they make keyboards do cheaply these days as the letters wear off after a short while (a real inconvenience if you are dyslexic and no longer a touch typist thanks to arthritis). Yeah if i just had another old video cable I'd use one of the other notbooks for its display. Also wonder if I can network two together and use the second one as a dumb terminal.

    ...we have a tech co-op here where I can get one for probably a dollar or two but requires a transit trip to get to. What I would do is hook up to the one I got from you which is just for offline work as it doesn't have up to date AV and is XP.

    BIG PILE OF TEXT ALERT!!!

    Ok, I have tea, lunch is down, and I put my magic drops into my left eye.  900MB of stuff is uploading to the office server, so things are quiet for a while.

    Where to begin?  Ah, the foot saga.  A little over a year ago, a dangerous strep infection got into the toe bones on my left foot.  After 24 hours on two different antibiotics at once !! the main doc brought in an orthopedic surgeon.  He wanted to saw my foot off above the ankle and put me into physical therapy for six months.  I told him no thanks, well, I was less polite about it.  The main doc got a new guy, Dr. Stockton, who is a rock star - he said noooo, onlly cut off the bad part.  An MRI later and I was in surgery.  After many weeks in 2 different casts I was free to walk again, but the doc ordered me to get a prothesis (fake foot).  Right about that time the company I was contracting to had a mass layoff and I was out of work.

    To make a long story short, 5 months later I had a new contract with a medical device startup in San Antonio.  After a few months they offered me insurance, and I picked the best coverage which ends up costing me around 500 a month.  Ths turns out to have really paid off.  I developed a diabetic ulcer on the underside of my right foot, ended up in the hospital, and they called Dr. Stockton on me.  I ended up in surgery, getting some problematic toe bone spurs filed off, toe bones shaved, and a tendon snipped to make it stretch and remove pressure from the front of my foot.  5 more weeks in a cast and POOF, no more ulcer and it hasn't even threatened to come back.    As part of all this he re-prescribed the fake foot with new technology and a special shoe insert for my right foot to keep me the Hell out of his office.

     

    So, the prosthetics place built me a carbon fiber prosthesis - it's totally cyberpunk!  It's paintable, and according  to the prosthetics doc most of her clients have theirs painted (welcome to Austin).  I also have shoes specially made to hold inserts and prosthetics, someone else ordered them and never picked them up, so I scored big.  So now, for I think the 4th time, I'm re-learning to walk.  Between my custom-made leather wrapped hardwood walking cane and my carbon fiber foot, I can get around fine - I just need to rebuild all the muscles I've lost.

     

    I think a big feathered serpent painted on the shin... hee hee hee heeeeeeeeeeee!!!

     

    Next up, tomorrow.. the eye saga.

     

    Oh, and I quit keyboard and am back to guitar - bought myself a Fender Telecaster Plus and had a local guitar-maker replace the pickups with special ones I bought.  Her name is Christine, and I'll try to post a pic of her this week sometime!

    buffalo don't have wings, why do they call it buffalo wings?

    Cos they were first served as a dish in a place called Buffalo     http://time.com/3957370/buffalo-wings/

    I thought it had something more to do with Bills not the animals.  Anyway what's a Bill as in Buffalo Bills?

    It's the monthly rent you pay on your buffalo in some parts of the world.
