^^^^ Good question. I'm hoping he didn't mean broken, too.

Golly, shore didn't think 'bout dat. Nope, I didn't mean "broke" or nuttin. Jus' means dat da window was open jus' a hair. Sorry bout' dat.

Today's President's Day so I just slept-in instead of getting up during the night. Looks like it'll be rainy today, so I guess I didn't miss much. :shrug:

Woke up late again to day. I must be getting old. :)

There's a certain bit of household electronics that decides to beep annoyingly every couple of weeks. Wish I could get rid of it, but we kind of need it around here.

The stabbing intermittent pain I felt in my ear Sunday now alternates between stabbing and feeling blocked.

Ouch-ear infection, AZRH?

In any case, AZRH, sure hope it either goes away or, probably a better idea, get it checked so whatever it is … it gets fixed. We'll be sending good wishes your way!

Had a birthday dinner with the offspring unit last night, then she wanted everyone to head over to Dave & Busters. Lotta fun.

Sounds like fun was had by all! :thumbs:

2020 can just fuck the off back to where ever it came from.

My girlfriend T, whose mother died in early January: one of her otehr boyfriends died Wednesday evening.

I be sorry to hear dat, gg. Ya' got me best wishes.

I was up later than I should have been last night,d ealing with printer problems. The upside is, though, I seem to have gotten them sorted out.

Good for you. Today's the day we'll be doing our taxes. :( Oh well, what's got to be has got to be … I guess. :shrug:

Good for you. Today's the day we'll do taxes. :( Oh well.

Taxes are better than the other inevitability.

Yep. Pushing up daisies I never saw as a job I was looking for.

Had an accident yesterday. Was carrying some laundry down to the basement to be washed but when I reached the next to last step, I stepped on something and took a tumble to the linoleum floor of the basement. Luckily I didn't break anything but my right leg and arm are pretty sore. Had x-rays taken to confirm no broken bones so using ice packs to reduce the swelling and keeping my feet elevated as much as possible. Definitely, I don't recommend copying this accident by anyone else. Not any fun.

Ug. Glad it wasn't any worse, DB.

Dag Nab It, DB. Yuz ain't suppose to go doing things like dat. Anywho, you got my best wishes and like gg said, glad it taint no worse.

Well, I have the old 3-D printer working regularly; but for some reason, my regular printer/copier/scanner won't communicate with my 'puter. Going to have to un/re-install the thing, looks like.

No cases of coronavirus have been reported in our area, but the Catholic schools have shut down for at least a week while the schools are cleaned and disinfected to try and safeguard the students. Courageous decision given this is the season when Christian churches are preparing for Easter and generally very busy and parochial schools use this time to focus attention of the students on matters of faith..

Wow, that escalated quickly. News release yesterday:

This afternoon, the Governor [of Maryland] announced additional steps regarding efforts to slow the transmission of the Coronavirus. Those actions include (1) closing Maryland schools starting on Monday, March 16th for two weeks so that all schools can be cleaned and disinfected; (2) banning gatherings of over 250 people; (3) closing senior citizen activity centers, and (4) closing the cruising port at the Port of Baltimore.

I'm off for a couple weeks. Sending you all air kisses from a minimum of 6 ft away.

It's gud to seez you, Lilith! We done missed you! Welcome home to Pixies.

My daughter ended up in the ER in the very wee hours of this morning, due to chest pains which turned out, fortunately, to be nothing more than severe anxiety symptoms.

Yeah, even in the fact of global pandemic, there are numerous health issues in the world.

We'll keep her in our prayers anyway. Glad she's okay.

She's made a follow-up visit to the cardiologist, so she's taking the right steps, at least.

Good for her. We'll keep up the prayers!

;)

The same to you, Rabbit. :D

Here's an interesting space-related article:

Interesting. Thanks for sharing the URL.

Well, today is the 60th anniversary of my wife and my meeting on a blind date. Double dated to a movie with my best high-school friend the week before and when my date then injured her foot she didn't feel like she could go out the following week, so my friend's date said she thought her neighbor and best friend might be able to go. Well, she did and she became my wife 3 years later in June. Still married with 7 children, 3 married with families of their own. Four still single. Nine grand-children and 2 great-grand-children. :) Couldn't ask for anything more.

Congratulation my friend. :cheers:

With all the realities of life, you and your bride are becoming more of a treasured idol than ever before.

Thanks, PF. Looking forward to the next 60 years … or so. :D

Another 60 years? That's some serious deep-freeze!

Well, if by some chance we're still here … ? … you're invited to our anniversary party. Probably won't be too many that we know, but it'll still be fun. :)
