    Thanks, Richard.  But this is NOT a good sign.  Especially seeing how expensive that software is.

    Non-complaint:  Farenheits in the 40s today.  Most of the snow is gone from my car.  I suspect if I feel well enough I could go for a mini-adventure tomorrow (Sunday).  Although budget is again really tight this month due to bailing my car out of the auto hospital and paying the people hospital for holding me where they fed me three meals of ex-hot tasteless food,  while they gave me intravenous fluids that unexpectedly had the effect of keeping me awake for 36 hours, and caused me to have 30 hours of hallucinations, after they had scraped the rest of my prostate out through the closest natural direct access port last November. crying  (Google "Images TURP")  

     I suppose I could go to Wendy's again but perhaps I'll go for a more local venue like the 80 year old "texas hot" place for a cheap lunch of two hots and a chocolate shake.  http://www.johnnyslunch.com/  I remember going there (when it was in the old location and called "Johnny's Texas Hots") with my dad when I was too short to see over the lunch counter back in the very early '50s

    I noticed both Vue sites are down today, the Eon and Cornucopia sites.  Supposedly “for maintenance”, but it’s the middle of the day (well, here in the US).

    Seems odd.  Hopefully they’re not gone gone.  surprise

    They are definately not gone.  I have been in contact with support a number of times in the past couple of weeks.  They are also active on their FB page.

    You can get manual software activation codes via email.  I requested activation codes for my copies of VUE Infinite and Plant Factory, received a response within minutes, and received the codes early the next morning as promised.

     [email protected]

    And sales is available through the support address or at  [email protected]

    They are working on getting a temporary site up soon.

    I do it now because, sometimes, you discover that people can be amazing, but it's like around 5% of the population.

    Interesting number.  I remember reading somewhere years ago, that a study indicated that "Common Sense" wasn't at all "common" and was exhibited by only 7% of people. frown  Does that corelate to meaning that 2% have common sense but just aren't amazing? indecision

    And I think the most un-common sense and uber-stupidity is to antagonize the guy wearing a gun. surprise Even above running while wearing oversized baggy pants with no belt and untied shoes. laugh

    I've seen some hilarious YouTube videos of these morons trying to outrun the police in thse lw-rideer baggy pants.  They tend to faceplant quite quickl...

    And yeah, 2% of people ave common sense - and that's about it.  Normally you can get along ok with just common sense.

    If it wasn't for the prepomderance of ignornt buffoons there'd be no YouTube!!!

    Oh boy!!!!!

    I found a block of sharp cheddar I thought I lost - it had slid behind some jars in the fridge.  I have cheese for today now!!!! Wheeeeeeee!!

    Roasting potatoes, and have Thai red curry paste. Red curry taters, anyone????

    'Miniscule' was fun, nice break between Amazing Race sessions.

    Watching 'The Amazing Race' is like watching a train wreck in slow motion.  You know it's a horrible thing and people will end up hurt, but you can't look away.  I must be sick in the head...

     

    is it like cylon viper racing? laugh

     

    Imagine racing around the world, jumping off bridges and buildings, not speaking the language, crawling through freezing mud, being groped on a packed train in India, eating fish eyes in Japan, fried insects in Cambodia, parachuting, snorkeling into underwater canyons, and only 2 people per team and very little cash.  Oh, and at the end of each leg is a pit stop and the last team to arrive is uaually sent home.

    I've seen peope break bones, pass out from exhaustion, married couples split up, and all while trying to win a million bucks.  Every form of human emotion appears, and every kind of hardship you can imagine.  I've seen sweet couples turn into rage monsters and douchebags turn into human beings.  It's an incredible vicarious experience.

    I wouldn't do it for ten million bucks.  It breaks most people.

    ...just shows you how stupid people will be when money is involved.

    I'm old enough to not need any reminding about how stupid people will be, period.   However, I do keep going back to watching car crashes on YouTube for my adrenalin fix.  Speeding, swerving, crowding, rage, intoxication, insurance scams, selfishness, ... Same stupidity over and over.  Taking away their driving license doesn't seem to do any good.  The only thing that will save humanity is to take away their breeding license.  Get us down to a workable population. devil

    ..agreed.

    ..I can't because I don't have a television set and expensive cable plan (a total blessing on both counts).

    Noncomplaint - should break into the 50s today. Finally, a nice day to walk around.

    Good afternoon everyone! A lovely 62f  outdoor, window wide open.  Groceries will arrive in about 2 hours, I ran out of bread and chicken! Argh!

    Another day, another task - today I want to set up my aroatherapy mister and make my room smell nice! I have lavender, lemongrass, and eucalptus.

    Afternoon. Another day in paradise, but is paradise sposed to get hot? Lavender and roses are real good for relaxation :)

    Reality shows are (Hilariously) listed as ‘unscripted’ in industry publications but if that is true why did the Jerry Springer show have so many security guards on the soundstage ?

    48F here right now.  It will likely not go up that much more today, it's already 3:37 pm, so it will probably start dropping soon, as the Sunlight fades.

    PS/ chili lime noodles are not toned down for use wimpy white boys...! :-O

    Oh, the 48F was actually toasty, compared to the couple of weeks where it mostly never made it out of the low 20s for highs.  We actually had a couple of nights where it went below zero!  And that wasn't the winch chill factor!

    I've been saying for many years that sense is not common.  If it were, you wouldn't see such a proliferation of court room "dramas".  Or warnings on packaging on how the product should not be used.

    Hehe, we actually had an incident in the Boston area that made the news.  A criminal ran from the police, but tripped because of his pants that were falling down around his knees!  laugh
