It's been a while since I have heard from her, but I just got a new email from the US Ambassador to Nigeria, but this time she only has access to a $10.5 million ATM Master Card for Easy use? Really? I don't send money for anything under $21.8 million! Must be the current economy is affecting the spambot's as well...
I haven't had a note from Nigeria in a long while, but I do get a lot of phone calls from people out of my area and lots of "wireless callers" with unfamiliar numbers. I ignore them and if they don't leave a message on my voicemail, I forget about them. Life in the 2000s
Non-complaint: Wheee... It's Tuesday. 5% senior discount at the grocery store day. I toddled up to the grocery store (don't have to continue on up the hill to the post office because I now have a streetside mailbox, yea!). Not a lot of groceries needed this week because I got a huge amount last week. But I did get the staples, bread, milk, salad stuff, apples, bananas, mushrooms...
But they were still out of lima beans.
And again I forgot the honey,
What good is a list if I use it during shopping but forget to scan it again before checking out?
When I got home I made a big pot of spaghetti-chilli. Mmmm... carbs and spices.
r the baby squirrls out yet or they waitin for warmer fahrenheits?
something nibbled apple bits i left outside. hoping it wasnt a big rat, but i really shouldnt be prejudice. rats part of the big happy rodent fmily.
so nobody out there is getting married, hugging, smooching, booty calling, noogying, tackle footballing?
life is stopped?
do the aliens know now is not a good time to come down and make contact?
Rats are just squirrels with bald tails who are afraid of heights.
perpendicularly challenged?
uh oh a new killer ferris wheel. at least these gondolaas arent cages, so theres a chance to swim for it if it tips over into the river
anf if you dont know how to swim learn the doggie paddle
had a littlr buppy bay watch, was like 20 years ago, neighbor's kids were splashing in th pool,
gues their rotttie had a lil adrenalin rush. he made a beautiful running leap,
up and over the side of the pool
poor rommel , doggie paddled after the initial surprise. i jumped in, got my shoulder under his hind quarters to boost him up to climb up on the deck
the parents never thanked me, but i think rommel appreciated it
is wabbit season. duck season. wascally season.
?? why does jughead has a crown?
plaint my hands and feets like ice
remember kris kristofferson? he was a honey bunny
I'm assuming "rommel" was a dog? I would have been surprised if instead of a doggie paddle, he had managed to do a butterfly stroke.
ROMMel qas master of all he surveyd
So a cat then?
Everyone is crazy about baby yoda... but I've found his replacement.
Baby Possum says "Hello... you haz mor hams for me?"
That's a picture of Baby Possum... AKA "Spike"... He or she is named "Spike" because my daughter wanted a hedgehog but all we got her was a lousy possum.
Actually, Spike isn't a pet... he or she has been seen sporadically over the past several days by my wife and daughters who thought he was a wild rat of some sort... (as opposed to those civilized rats who have afternoon tea and drink it with their pinkies raised)... I'm guessing they meant a "forest rat"... which to me is either an antisocial squirrel or an Ewok... After the second sighting I suspected it was a baby possum, but today Spike confirmed his existence by wandering out an hiding in a collection of flats of petunias awaiting planting (I think they are petunias... I hate flowers), while my daughters and I were staining some furniture outdoors...
I don't know what to do about Spike... He seems almost old enough to be experimenting with being on his own, but he's out in broad daylight which possum rarely do... normally they like to ride around on their little motorcycles late at night. I think they ride motorcycles... or is that chipmunks?... So I'm kinda concerned he might be an orphan.
Anyway, we decided to make him a little possum bungalow if he needs shelter and food... hopefully, if he's an orphan, he's smart enough realize there is food there and will return... if he's still gotta a momma, she'll probably smack him upside the head for associating with humans and that will be it.
He went inside the possum bungalow on his own accord and even ate ham and bread I handed him... I made the shelter out of a cardboard box, random junk and cinder blocks so in case he's an orphan, he'll have someplace to hide from predators like cats or velociraptors...
He hung out in there for a couple of hours and wandered off to wherever baby possums go when get bored with their new clubhouse.
I was kinda disappointed that he just left, and didn't quietly show up sipping a bowl of soup while watching me and my daughter fighting over the cordless drill...
Well, apparently he no force user anyway... just a tiny little possum trying to make his (or her) way in a big world.
not try, DO
Complaint: Sign of the Times: Covid has claimed another victim. The US department store JC Penney has filed for bankruptcy. Not unexpected but I'm sure, hastened by the pandemic situation.
https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/j-c-penney-files-bankruptcy-n1208391
So, now I have two iffy credit cards. One from Sears, and one from JC Penney. They still work, but I watch the funds in them like a hawk, afraid that their shaky financial foundation isn't being managed securely. All I need to hear now is that my actual bank has gone belly up too.
Actually, the little local fee-less banks here don't tend to disappear, they get swallowed up by bigger banks who just start fee-ing you death.
The only good news out of this JC Penney situation is that they, unlike Sears, are still in business, but who knows for how long. And I expect that our local JC Penney store will close and that will finally be the death knell for our local mall having lost the other two anchor stores (Sears, and Bon-Ton) recently.
Yeah, if that's so my local mall just lost two big anchor stores.
But on the upside that's more money that will eventually go to Amazon!
More creepy robot dogs for Jeff Bezos!
Hmmm...
Okay... maybe that's not a good thing.
Something for robot dogs to chase. One of my old Bryce renders.
robot dogs with no robot squirrels to chase
Save. Save. Save, you fool. Save. why did I not save????!!!!
*incoherent screaming*
That's cool!

Complaint: Arghhh... Many months ago when I switched my primary computer to Windows10 I continued to use Microsoft's "Windows Live Mail" (WLM) as my local mail application for a while, but seeing the handwriting on the wall (i.e. Microsoft's warning that WLM is no longer supported) realized that I needed to migrate to something that would still be supported for the next decade. I've been with Microsoft's free mail programs since the last century. I kept upgrading to their latest incarnation of free mail support as they kept pulling the rug out from under me. I save all my email. I have email archives that are 25 years old. (Yeah, I know, it's a disease
) But once in a while it comes in handy. Like trying to find the email that declared the activation key for a software product, or finding someone's email address, or finding a receipt for something that you are disputing with the vendor. Regardless, I like to hoard my email. I currently have eight active email addresses (down from 11) and very carefully keep related email in appropriate categories.
Unfortunately, my recent adventure into trying a new email program went outside of Microsoft. I refused to pay $150 for Outlook local, and I refuse to pay $7 a month for a subscription to Outlook, and I hate keeping my email in a cloud. So, I look around and found scant support for stand-alone local email programs that were not web or cloud based. I finally picked "Thunderbird". It's clumsy but I finally got used to it and carefully would read my emails and then move them to my reconstructed complex heirarchy of archive email folders. Then one day Thunderbird asked if I'd like to "condense" my stored emails. Like a fool I said "yes". Only to quickly find out that "condense" does not mean "compress". It means "throw away anything that had been marked deleted OR moved from the original received folder. So, I've apparently lost nearly a year of saved email.
Arghhh...
Does anybody know how to use Thunderbird to permanently (and easily) archive email into a heirarchy of folders. Or is there somewhere that my "condensed" emails have been squirreled away and recoverable? Is there a better option than Thunderbird?
I've actually considered biting the bullet and buying into Microsoft Outlook but now they don't even seem to make a local, non-subscription version.
I never used Outlook, only at work. I started with Eudora at home but have been on Thunderbird for many years - 20 or so. I had 4 mail accounts, 2 got redundant and there are only 2 left. I have an elaborate tree of folders (and sub-folders, e.g. Daz3D > PA > Accounting) under all accounts (also the discontinued ones). The Inbox holds only the new mails. I must add that I can access my email accounts from the web browser and delete any crap right there, before I start Thunderbird and download the (remaining) emails. Some are information I want to keep, some need a reply, some are crap (popped in just after reading them on the browser and starting TB) and are deleted. The others are moved into the appropriate folder/subfolder, the answers sent as well, then the inboxes are empty.
I have the actual data in the folder "NamedByThunderbird_default" on a NAS so I can access the data from all 6 computers in my network running Thunderbird (Win2000, WinXPpro, WinXPhome, twice Win7pro and Win10pro). All manipulations on the emails go to the NAS. From time to time, I copy the data folder to all 6 computers into e:\Web\Clients\Email\ThunderData (all computers have the same drive and folder structure so I feel "at home" on whatever computer I'm sitting) and to another two NAS (I have 7). Thunderbird gets updates from time to time, and I run the update on the other computers within the next few days - but the data is accessible also from older versions.
Thank you for the tips and experience with Thunderbird. I'll think about trying something like that.
Meanwhile, I'm poking around in my system backups & archives to see if I can find copies of my pre-erased mail data files and figure out how to reconstruct my current mail archive heirarchy.
Do tyou now have an Archives folder sitting between the Sent and Junk folders? I've switched to using file per message isntead of file per folder, but when I was using the big database files for storage (and so getting the prompt to compress) it didn't remove the live copy of an email (though ti does remove the data from the folder it was originally in - that's what compression is for, in part, to keep the files below the (2 or 4 GB) limit on capacity.
You're welcome. I think you can import into Thunderbird Outlook email data. I think (again) that I once tried it with emails I saved on a USB stick from the work computer, it's a couple of years ago.
thunderbird was the po'girls drink. nighttrain
life just sucks right now, and not in a good way. cant see

Wasted 15 minutes of my time looking through the Party Like You're Platinum sales page to find the glasses in the promo, luckily a friend finally linked me the page (PTF Eyepocolypse if anyone else is wondering) and saved me further time wasted, because they're not even included in the sale.
Wicked Whomp kewl un, is that like the harry potter ref to whomping willow?
