It is only a bit over 49 hrs behind now.

Message 73772 - Posted: 4 Nov 2016, 23:21:56 UTC

And it isn't catching up very quickly.....still 39.8 hours down.

Can't be too bad. It made up nearly 10 hours in 5 hours.

CUBS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was a bit worried they would blow it in the 10th inning with the rain delay.

I was at work, so I did not see or hear anything of the game.
But, there were one or two radios tuned in, and when they pulled it off, word spread quickly.
Pretty much everybody was all smiles about the Cubs. Even non-fans.

And I said this.......LOL.

Well, if the Cubs can win the World Series, now I KNOW that Trump can kick Clinton's arse.

And, as they like to say in Chicago, kids.........

Vote early.......and often. Nudge nudge, wink wink.

I was thinking the opposite... it's turning out to be a good month. The Cubs won the World Series, the thing I got called to the office for this morning turned out not to be my fault, and the big finale will be Clinton winning next week. The only reason I haven't voted already is that I want to read up on a state constitution amendment before I decide. And that is all I'm going to say outside of the politics forum.

(It would also be nice if they'd fix this "forbidden" problem.)

Thanks, still would like more weight added before I get back in a truck. Put on a stone already but would like another :-) Find it very easy to lose, but a lot harder to put on :-(

I have the opposite problem. If I ever start losing weight mysteriously, I'll be worried.

BTW, I'm baaaaack! I'm not going to look up how long it's been since my last post here.

Well hello again. Seti's down and no one's hanging around at Einstein, so I thought I'd pop in here. Doesn't seem realy busy here either, though.

Thanks.

That was an interesting thing to go through, after they sprayed the back of my throat with the anaesthetic spray, it felt quickly as if I couldn't swallow anymore. Then I went into uncontrollable coughs, felt big lumps back there. In a half panic at this time, breathing going difficult....

And the next image I have is that they retracted the endoscope, quickly followed by me staring at the ceiling in the recovery room. Checking my watch I was 20 minutes further in time.

Dozing on and off during the next hour, I slowly awoke fully. And then heard I had to stay for another half hour, because they really wanted to have the spray at the back of my throat wear off fully. So at 17:30 Jord was free to go.

Called our friend who would pick us up, she was with us 20 minutes later.

All this time until I got home I was fully awake, feeling very alert.
Got home, finally ate and drank something, as I hadn't had anything to eat or drink since the evening before.

This is where I felt drowsy again. So went to lay down on bed, with one of my books on my phone. Awoke two hours later with my nose on my phone. ;-)
Was just lights out - lights on, no dreams. Went to the toilet, and back to lay down some further, and for my feeling it was just minutes later again. But it was 22:48h next I got up.

I'll now be around until I feel off again and then I hope I'll sleep through the night. Got absolutely nothing planned tomorrow, just a stay at home day to allow for all bad things to flush from my system in a natural way.

So behave all. Kathryn is watching you like a hawk. :-)

That sounds like a lot of fun. I think I would really hate it.

If you're interested in what I've been up to lately, see TLPTPW at Seti or Seti Refuge Bar at Einstein.

Uhhh...down already?

It's only 6:30 am in Berk. Not even Jeff is usually up THIS early.
Naw, somethin's gone away. Cannot even ping the server status page.
Pinged Eric, Matt, and Jeff.
Don't suspect any of them is up and about just now.
Might be a long day.

Meow?

That's what I was wondering. Beta's down too.

No, I was just tired of reading about your need for a certain product which we will NOT mention again anytime soon.

Oh won't we indeed, and you get to decide that do you?

And the general discussion of related products was getting rather political.

Was it now, and all the others that were happy to join in were all wrong were they?

Jord runs this forum OK? Sounds to me like you're not having a good week for some reason. I'll see if my corner shop sells some chill pills next to what we mustn't mention any more for you.

It was a request, not a demand. I even said please, which is not all that common for me. Perhaps I should have included some indication of humor, but I'm not sure what would have been appropriate.

I stand by my statement about getting political, but it was just an opinion, not an attempt to take over the forum. Perhaps you need one of those chill pills.

Not sure if you know, but here in The Netherlands we bury just about everything, but for the 380KV cables, as it's easier to do so. And there is a lot less risk that a cable breaks due to fire, trees, weather, people or anything in between. I've laid those things in the ground and know from experience how hard it is to weld all those strands together when they break and how much that costs.

I have a friend who is retired from the "phone company." One of the stories he tells is about how the owner of an apartment building decided to build a fence between his property and the strip mall it back up against.

His contractor dutifully called Julie (the utility locating service in this state) and the phone company came out and marked the location of their major cable feeding all the businesses in the strip mall.

Then the contractor's employees (or subcontractor) came along and decided that nice orange line on the ground was where the fence was going and proceeded to dig a whole bunch of holes for the posts.

Can we change the subject, please?

Are you suggesting we should change the title of the thread?

e.g. "The Seti is down cafe, but you musn't say so!"

:-))

No, I was just tired of reading about your need for a certain product which we will NOT mention again anytime soon. And the general discussion of related products was getting rather political.
