Funny, funny graphics there, Mick! I made the move to Windows 10 yesterday. Other than it taking a v-e-r-y long time to install, haven't encountered any problems. Finished the Mr. Mercedes novel, and it gets two thumbs up from me. Great plot, interesting characters, and I really like Stephen King's writing style. I'm up to this and that today, plenty of it dog related. So happy to have a clear head, and the freedom to come and go at any time. Thanks for being my AF support system, y'all!

Mae everybody, Mick,for some reason I understand most of your jockanese haha,think it's just from reading you all these years was dizzy again at the grocery store wtf? Had to hurry up and get home,scared to drive I really hope I don't have it at work again today,I don't think it's anxiety cuz I don't feel anxious, trying to think if I started any new health supps,all I can think of is a meal replacement shake I bought, well it's supposed to be a meal replacement but I still eat oatmeal with it haha,maybe it's that,it has soy so maybe I'm being poisoned by Round up haha,I HATE working on Saturday it's the worst for some reason, just gotta buck up and go,Pie,as long as you're happy and safe where you live that's all that matters, funny how people around here buy homes in those gated communities thinking they're safe when actually they get broken into more,its so easy to gate jump,they have rain forecasted all week, bullshit,just means sticky,hot air,I'll keep you posted, much love to all have a greeeat day

MIck, your graphics remind me of a chemistry class I had to retake in college. The first time I took it I got a D so repeated it in summer achool and got another D! One of the questions on our final related to viscosity. Sure, I had studied all the stuff from the book but she asked us to calculate the viscosity of hamburger grease! WTH? That was nowhere in the book!
Pie, glad you are doing well with Windows 10.... Have you tried to PRINT something? Have you tried to find 'your stuff'? It's just different enough to drive you bonkers! Good luck!
Pauly, I hate working on Saturdays also, its not natural! Hope your dizziness goes away, weird how that comes on like that...scary. Hope its nothing! Thinking of you.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Sattidy! Byrdie

Happy Saturday

Det - really sorry to hear about the friend. My good friend just lost her FIL. He was 92 and he shot himself. It was devastating even at his age.

Pauly - I've been having some dizzy spells too. I think I'm going to get my ears checked. Maybe an ear infection?

Pie - I did like that book. I still haven't gotten into the 3rd one though. Maybe this afternoon.

Byrdie - chemistry YUCK

Lav - how many chickens do you have now?

Ok - off to be lazy some more. nthego:

[Lavande]

Good afternoon Abbers!

It's another crappy day in the neighborhood here, yuck. Heat, humidity, rain........maybe even locusts later, ha ha!!

Mick, the greenhouse construction is on hold until some parts are delivered. Apparently the company packed too many of one part & too few of another or some such thing. I told you I am staying out of this
I hope your day is clear & fabulous!!

Pie, we are lucky to have such a loving & supportive group here. We understand each other even if we have language differences, LOL

Byrdie, I had a nutrition class in college where the instructor held up a package of M&Ms & told us to calculate the total number of carbs. That was our quiz for the day, ha ha!!!

Nora, right now I have a new flock of 37 baby birds about 6 weeks old. I still have a flock of 20-some older girls but they will be retiring soon

Pauly, you need a vacation!!!!

Hello to everyone else checking in today. Have a great AF Saturday.

Lav

Hi there Sunday already. Had a pretty bad day yesterday with feeling very low and weepy. It's stuff happening at work, or about to happen. But I still have to soldier on and perform. I think I also have the winter doldrums -it's just been too bitter to walk outside even if I am rugged up. When I get like this I stop eating and then my mood just gets worse. my daughter made me eat so that's a turn around! I know I have so much to be grateful. Oh well today is another day and I will try to tackle things in a different light. Sorry to present such a downer.
Very sorry about your friend Det. Afraid I understand where that comes from but I also know the impact a suicide has on others. A former partner did this - after we had split. He had substance abuse and mental health issues.
Be well everyone.

[Pie]

I agree, Lav. There's Mick's language, and then what the rest of us speak.

Hey TT, hope the blues don't hang on for too long.

Pie--I've read every Stephen King book, except the Dark Tower Series (holding onto those until there are no new stories being produced). The craft of his writing, the winding of the words always has me in awe. I remember holing up in my room as a kid and reading his stories....still do it today. Now I read books he recommends.

Det--I live the life of a hummingbird. Liz Gilbert had a great talk on it and it resonated. I stayed too long at too many jobs. Built a career up to high paid veteran status and ultimately was bored and miserable. I also realize this sense of purpose...is a bunch of BS. I'm certainly done taking life so seriously.

So sorry about your friend. I certainly can understand those depths.
