    It's only 54F here...and since it's almost 4:00 pm, I think that's as high as it's going to go.  Bloody rollercoaster weather!

    If I send you a blank email can you write on the other side of it?

    It is 4pm now on Sunday, June 3, 2018!  Where did the time go?

    Into the time-space continuum

    Is the time-space continuum moving or are we? surprise  It's probably all relative. indecision

    I think we all say "continuum" as <con-tin-you-um> so ...

    Query:  How do you say "vacuum" <vak-youm>? Or <vac-you-um>?

    Query:  If the the British say "clerk" as <klark> do they say "jerk" as <jark>?  And should "berry" be <bear-ee> or should it <ber-ee>.  And what about "bury"?  <bear-ee>, <ber-ee> or <boor-ee>  I'm sooo confused. frown

    Clerk as in jerk here. And Hoover for vacuum ;0

    Nah, hoover is pronounced "Dyson" wink

    Shone is shon not shown. (shone is past participle of to shine, shown is past participle of to show)

    Primer is pry-mer not primmer

    (the 2nd of each I've heard on US audiobooks. Took me a while to realise what they were saying!)

    The shon/shown aberration seems to be a regional affectation, the only (two) people I've met that say shown are both from Central Pennsylvania. The prymer/primmer issue might be more of an elitist affectation. Back in the mid 80's I worked with a crop of new doctors who all insisted on pronouncing centimeter as santimeter some went so far as to put the emphasis on the -ti- syllable. It took me a while to figure out what a freaking sanTImeter was. However, my vacuum/Hoover IS a Dyson. laugh

     

     

    with the proper amount of section. laugh

    the vacuum brand popular here now is shark.   costco had a deal on one the maintenance guy at work bought, its cute, now most of us want one

    would it really be so bad to use the same insulin pen needle 2 days in a row?

    pen the doctor gave me only came with 14.  the box of new needles is 40 bucks.  the pen is 160.  4 times a yyear.  - complaint.  no wanna blow 200 bucks 4 times a year.  consumer driven health plans suuuuuuuck

    That isn't something I'd recommend. Two things happen when you use a needle: 1) it gets dirty - the air, your hands, your skin, etc. 2) it gets dull, quickly. (very, very quckly). You can't see it dull, but, you will feel it. I'd speak with your doctor about assistance plans. Many of the pharma companies will underwrite your costs. I don't know who, where, and by how much, but you have to ask (and ask again).

     

    you on to something with the dull needle thing

    what happens is, the needle doesnt go far enough in and leaves a lil bubble under the skin of the insulin derivative fluid.

    Not really on the regional thing. I'm from SE Tennessee, and the only way I've heard it agrees with this:

    I want to tell my fish if they swim in my aquarium they agree to be my pets.  What if you get a computer and then decide you do not want to agree to the Microsoft EULA?

    Morning. Pale sun giving up just enough rays for a pair of pigeons to bask in while they shake off  brown and gold leaves drifting from treetops onto delicate downy wings, feels more like early autumn than the start of winter today ;)

    And forget about all the software you paid for that is made to run in Windows.

    Non-complaint:  Today is Tuesday, that means it's one of my two uptown days that I allow myself per week.  Got my trash deposited, picked up a Subway sub sandwich and called it a day.  On the way back I turned on the radio and found myself near the beginning of the 2nd movement of the Saint-Saëns Piano Concerto #5 "The Egyptian".  I haven't listened to it in several months and had forgotten how astoundingly beautiful I find it.  As typical with concertos it has three movement, the 1st and 3rd usually being fast paced and technically impressive, and the middle movement being slow and delightfully expressive.  I always envison the 2nd movement of this piece as a wander along the shore of the Nile river at night listening to the multi-ethnic music wafting from the homes and camp fires of the riverside residents.  And at the end of the 2nd movement is the slow climb up the riverbank back into the hustle and bustle of the city that is the 3rd movement.  Pure fun.

    Saint-Saëns: Piano Concerto #5 "The Egyptian" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IEYtta_ZsI  The animation of both the pianist and the conductor in this video is exactly how this music makes me feel, especially during the finale.

     2nd movement begins at 9:55 (particularly melodic segments begin at 11:40 and 13:10.  The climb up the riverbank is at 20:00)

    3rd movement begins at 21:05 (it really starts to pick up at 23:10, and again at 22:35 and peaks the first time at 23:35 & the 2nd time at 24:30 to the end)

    Pizza?

    Where do these people get these cats?

    My cat, although she was very fond of me, made it quite clear that if I ever tried any of that sort of nonsense (as in the above image)... (Which is cute), she would in fact, murder me in my sleep.

    Granted, she was not a common earth cat, but still... My feline linguistic skills are not that great, but most earth cats are pretty much on the same page with that sentiment.

    And worse yet, that appears to be real pizza... If I had even approached trying that, my cat wouldn't have waited for me to fall asleep... She would have murdered me right there, ate that slice of pizza, finished my beer and whatever was left of the rest of the pie, killed any witnesses, packed her bags (yes, all Meowians have bags or at least carry-on luggage), cleaned out my bank account, took any good liquor I had, set fire to the house and moved on to whatever new horizons she decided on.

    But I suppose some cats have no dignity...

    Or all these people who take pictures like this end up having mysterious fatal accidents late at night.

     

    EDITED TO ADD...

    Actually, I looked at the picture again... I think that cat is stoned... Look at his pupils... Dilated.

    The room lighting is pretty bright... Bright enough that the cat's pupils should be slits, not round... That cat was probably high on nip... Probably another cat took that picture at some kind of nip party (cats do stuff like that when their people are out).

    Hmm... I'm gonna look at more of the Internet cat pictures and see if the cats look high... Maybe the "people" who take these pictures are really cats... Maybe all these cat picture sites are run by cats.

    It could be a covert Instagram for cats... I think I'm on to something... I'll have to research this more... I wonder where I put my grey tabby costume... It worked for me when I infiltrated the feline mafia, it should still be good now.

    Well... I'll let you know how it goes.

    Complaint:  When I took my car out today I noticed that it was covered with pollen.  I guess that explains why my nose has been running more than usual all day. sad

    Complaint: I feel like I have to pee, but my ride is almost here, I think.
