LittleArmadillo0 Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 Last night I didn't get any sleep. I am now in a perpetual state of tired and alert.
LadyCrimson Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 How about one of those doorbells with the built in camera? You mean so I can look outside on a screen? I have considered one of those security cameras where you check the video online or something. We bought one of those for that other house since it was so far away. Something like that so I could have it open on a desktop to view the front porch while doing other geeky pc things might be nice. We have a door peephole but I'm too short to use it without dragging a stepstool over. So annoying. I think a bit of porch fencing would be simpler. “Things are as they are.

LadyCrimson Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 Just to make sure were both talking about the same thing, I was meaning the Ring or Nest type products. Unless I have to sign for something, which is very rare, I have no need to talk to the delivery people. I mean, these days they don't even knock on the door most of the time, just walk up, drop and run. So all I'd need is a camera to see when the packages have arrived vs. opening the door to check all the time. Also, we don't have a doorbell. Well, we do, but it's always disconnected because we can't stand it. “Things are as they are.

LadyCrimson Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 Btw, anyone want a Dell 1440 27" monitor? Nothing special, but they work well enough. Hubby in a nutshell. People want to toss stuff that works (or he can repair), he grabs it. He uses three of them on his desk, too. Maybe, if he can spare one, I might grab one soon. “Things are as they are.

Katphood Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 (edited) Gotta take Xiu Xiu to the vet: diarrhea :/ She can control herself but she also makes the litterbox really hard to clean. I think she drank a few sips of milk when I wasn't looking and that has messed up her digestive system a bit. I just hope the vet can give her a shot or something because it's really hard to feed either of my cats something they dont like.

Kefka1134 Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 The wayyy off topic forum... hm.... .this could be sort of interesting I guess. I'm just sort of used to the old system of video games where you talked about in the room or nearby you might glean bits from a manual. then I feel like we entered into the era of talking about video games online or more easily with fans and ZOOM we're over to just talking about everything online but honestly HEY that's fine it's actually me being here because I guess I'll try and participate some.... Certainly I don't mind if other people go about it... ok um.... Er well today's been a short day but I'm thinking about going ona small wlak walk* maybe I guess, we'll see.

LittleArmadillo0 Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 Foster dog has really perked up lately. She loves to lie down on couches and nuzzle under my arm.
Azdeus Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 Well, today is Fettisdagen, so I have been eating semlas. And went to the hospital to get my finger checked (Healing fine, I've got some nervedamage though). 1 Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

ShadySands Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 Moved into the new house yesterday and one dog has already made it home and the other one is hating life. Too much snow for them to enjoy the yard right now. 3 Free games updated 3/4/21

ShadySands Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 Second, but it's been a while. Free games updated 3/4/21
Gfted1 Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 Awesome! Get (re)acclimated to doing your own maintenance. Going to need a mower, bunch of tools, patio set...and I highly recommend that you hire a plow service (but I kinda find my zen while shoveling). 1 "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"

LittleArmadillo0 Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 Had to say goodbye to my foster dog today. She got adopted by a family with two teens and a cat. I'm sure she will make them very happy as much as my own dog makes me. 2
LadyCrimson Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 I like the new rig. It is super fast, and 5 second load times in FFXV is dreamy. I don't like Win10 (no surprise) but I'll be using old Win7 for non-gaming anyway. The 2 port DisplayPort KVM switch I bought rather sucks however and I'm currently using one of hubby's 1440 monitors (they're HP, not Dell, oops) and separate KB/mouse on one corner of my desk which is annoying to say the least. Works for while I'm sussing out Win10 poop tho. Had to say goodbye to my foster dog today. She got adopted by a family with two teens and a cat. I'm sure she will make them very happy as much as my own dog makes me. That's always a bit rough. I've given up a couple cats when I had too many already and one was hard to part with. But at the time my cat-inn was totally full. Still, at least giving them a good new home makes me feel better. 1 “Things are as they are.

LadyCrimson Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Finally all done (except Win10 fiddling which is never truly done, right) and I can now think about something else again. Or not think at all, which is far more likely. Time for some grub! Made a small roast last night, going to eat the leftovers then maybe finish Umbrella Acad. 1 “Things are as they are.

Guard Dog Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 It's that time of year again. I turned the garden soil yesterday. I put down fertilizer and returned it today. This week I'll plan out what to plant and next weekend we'll make it happen. 1 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell
Gfted1 Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 Whats the most finicky thing you grow? Tomatos? "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
majestic Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 I feel arse. Got all the symptoms of lateral pharyngitis and a cold. Fun times. Will visit the doc tomorrow. It's been four or five years since my last sickleave, time to get someting out of my insurance. No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.
LittleArmadillo0 Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 I caught a stomach bug recently and it has been screwing with my schedule. I have been laying down and eating high class meals such as crackers, soup, and ice cream. I hope it goes away soon I really hate calling in sick.
Guard Dog Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 (edited) Whats the most finicky thing you grow? Tomatos? Believe it or not butter beans have been the biggest challenge. The plants grow with no trouble. But only 3 in 5 actually produce bean pods. Dunno why. Tomatoes are a bit of an aggravation because you have to start them in trays and manage their growth with ties and lattice. But if you meet all their requirements they grow pretty well.

LadyCrimson Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 Fava beans grew like gangbusters, get huge, and taste really good and are good for the soil supposedly. Hubby has had the worst luck with tomatoes since we moved back to the Peninsula. They often end up with a rot issue around the stem or the point at the bottom. He's tried everything = removing soil/replacing soil, other plants good for soil/pests around them, fertilizer, different watering cycles, growing from seedlings, sprouting from seeds, etc etc. “Things are as they are.
