Cancer Posted May 4, 2023 Report Share Posted May 4, 2023 I've written many essays that felt good to write but were never read by anyone else (some also that were seen only by myself and my wife). Probably a good number that would have been better if no one else read them also; I was the editorial writer for my high school newspaper for a year. I got polemics down.

Pariah Posted May 4, 2023 Report Share Posted May 4, 2023 After the recommended three-day waiting period, we gave LGP a bath tonight. Lady P did most of the work, while I mainly held the shower head and sprayed where she said, and got the girl dressed afterwards. LGP did just fine with it. Me, not so much. I'm not one for anxiety attacks, but I think I may have had one this evening. What the heck kind of sense does that make? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan D. Hurricanes Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 I just found out there's a restructuring underway at work. My assistant/library tech is moving to another department. I'm truly a solo librarian now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan D. Hurricanes Posted May 7, 2023 Report Share Posted May 7, 2023 I have resisted even trying mobile check deposit for a long time because, frankly, I don't trust the technology. But I got a check in the mail today and don't have time to run to the bank, so I decided to try it. It didn't work. There is no joy in this vindication.

Ternaugh Posted May 8, 2023 Report Share Posted May 8, 2023 My bank charges non-preferred customers a fee to use mobile check deposit. I asked what made someone a preferred customer, and was told that it was someone with at least one million dollars in accounts. Suffice it to say, I don't use the mobile check deposit with them. --- One of my accounts is collecting spam emails, in the general format of my first name on the subject line (sometimes with a question mark or RE: before it), and a name that I don't recognize as the sender. I'm guessing that the body of the email is html, but that gets stripped when I send it to spam. The message is usually "It's me" or something similar, and the email address is what appears to be a disposable gmail account. I'm guessing that if I responded, the messaging would change to the actual scam. Oh, and it's an older email account that I haven't actively given out to friends for something like a decade and a half, so I doubt that it's anyone I actually know. I'm also getting a small amount of fishing scams, with the latest purporting to be from "Wells Frago".* The spam filters caught that one and flushed it. *If I ever play a rogue, I'm seriously thinking of using this as the name.

Pariah Posted May 19, 2023 Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 Today would have been my younger brother's 52nd birthday. Several of us gathered at his favorite restaurant to observe dinner in his memory. It's still hard to believe he's gone. tkdguy and Tom Cowan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death tribble Posted May 20, 2023 Report Share Posted May 20, 2023 Went to Reading today and just outside the town is when i remember the birthday present that I am supposed to be bringing. And when I get home, the cycling did not record due to a scheduling change on the channel. Not happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ternaugh Posted May 24, 2023 Report Share Posted May 24, 2023 The good news is I was trying to thin my documents on my profile at work. They bad news is that I clicked on the wrong thing. The good news is that I stopped it before everything was deleted. The bad news is that some notes for stuff I'm working on was lost. The good news is that I am old-school and write notes on paper, and I can rebuild the notes. It will just take time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkdguy Posted May 24, 2023 Report Share Posted May 24, 2023 The bathroom sink has been really backed up since Monday, and the plumber won't come until tomorrow. I can still shower and use the toilet, and I can wash my hands in the kitchen, so it's not too problematic. But it's still a PITA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found out about a month ago that of people in our gaming group (who started getting together in the late 1970s), the fourth cancer diagnosis has come.
