Azdeus Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I can't even begin to express the unadultered joy of the IT crew of my workplace. We're running **** through a 2 year old version of Chrome and Internet exploder. Not Edge, no, that's way to modern and good. Can't have that. Does anyone here know if there is a timestamp shortcut for the Sharepoint excel version? CTRL+; doesn't work anymore -.- 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.

Good day to work from home. ^ I keep staring at that and wondering what weather person thought it would be cute to misspell Crystal Ball. At least, that's what it seems like to me. ;) Body pillow is great and all but lately I need more daily mid-upper back support so backpack-like back-brace it is. Bought 3 different ones. The one with no upper-waist/ribcage belt is useless, I don't think it would even help shoulder slump much. One was too large with back rib pieces too long (and it's too small for hubby, so also useless). The 3rd was just right for me. I could even sleep in it. Will help back stay in better position while exercising/stretching too. Feels much better for sitting/doesn't hurt. Yay, more relief. Only good thing about getting old is I have (some) money.

Gfted1 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 We adopted two calico kittens yesterday and they are lil rascals! Already playing and chasing each other around the house and Ive had to institute countermeasures to keep them from gnawing the mouse and power cord cables of my laptop. Also became litter box trained in one day, which is something I really appreciate about cats in general. Just drop them in the litter box and...BOOM...they are trained. I humored myself by making a "cat trap" (empty cardboard box) and theyre both in it right now wrastling with each other. Its freaking adorable. 4 2 "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guard Dog Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 If I was not already on some FBI/ATF watch list I'll bet I am now. I have ordered a hell of a lot of black powder, wadding, projectiles, sabot, and regular ammunition lately. But the latter is probably not so worrisome to Big Brother because they are in calibers that do not have automatic weapons. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see it's the "Don't mention the war" episode, aka the one that somehow seems to be the most remembered episode among Poles. Also, um, this may be a bad time to make such confessions, but I like Fawlty Towers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyrock Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 (edited) I've been running all over the east coast and midwest the past week and a half doing heavy miles, just how I like it. I shut down just south of Nashville today, did some squats, took a nice long walk, and found a sushi place near the truck stop. My delivery isn't until tomorrow afternoon and they won't take me early. I don't usually drink while on the road, but I ain't going anywhere for about 24 hours, so I'm gonna have a beer. I earned it.

Azdeus Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 I went to what used to be my favourite burger place and discovered they've changed owners. Didn't discover they changed owners until after I ordered though, they no longer chuck for their ground beef, and they don't know how to fry fries.
