What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

Well, this morning FHC had 15 birthdays listed. Now there is only three. It's happenning again.

When I noticed that was about the same time I began to have issues with my computer....the favorites menu going dark. Got that taken care of, but my spell check quit working even though everything is turned on correctly. And spelling is not one of my strong points!

Coincidence? Hope so....

Anyone else notice troubles with their computers?

 

Some weeks/months back this site seemed extra glitchy, but its been ok here of late...'puter seems fine overall though...

 

Did you see any UFO's when the northern lights were strong the other week?

 

We may be the other side of the continent but we are being hammered with wind and rain again tonight.

 

the last couple of mornings I have had trouble posting the Happy Birthday list. Using the @ symbol before the name doesn't seem to be working at times.

 

Yes, a lot of damage in some places out there. Not good at all.

 

My computer is fine - just those darn birthdays can't make up their mind.

6 BD's showing at 4:45 am eastern time. 5 haven't been on the forum since 2018 (or before) and the other hasn't been seen since January 2021. So, if I missed your BD, it's not intentional, nor is it my fault

Have a wonderful turkey day everyone!

 

I finally got the "windows" in the wall between the stairs and the living room trimmed out.

A little of the stained pieces (with extra in case of "oops")


From the living room


From the top of the stairs


I'll have to carefully select what sits in them. The cats so far haven't been interested in those areas at all, but they will immediately notice and investigate whatever goes there. I think a couple of plants would do nicely, but they may turn the investigation into a play-to-death / play-to-smash-on-the-floor thing. Also, that is along the path that the pellet stove's air flow goes, so I have to be vigilant on watering if that is what I decide to do.

 

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

On deck for me is to move and stack some firewood this morning, then go to 2 different family member houses. One for dinner and the other late "dinner", which is just eating desserts. I like the holidays but really get tired of the running around. Especially since I have to work the next day. Then tomorrow I see everyone again for son's bday party. Guess I'm just a homebody.

Enjoy your day and watch those calories.

 

I thought I heard sumpin during the night around that time.....

 

what about hanging stain glass pieces from the top edge. You can admire them from both sides then. The trim came out looking really good.

I understand your feelings about green in the house as I have the same about pink. I was quite strong about not liking pink and it was quite a shock to have our first home (a small house trailer) come with pink stove, fridge and sink. It was the only used unit we looked at that was in good shape and could afford at the time. Fridge and stove eventually got changed out but not the sink.

 

You could hang plants rather than set them. There are hooks that grab the top of the trim if you don't want to screw into the new wood.


Cooking an 18 pound turkey. Pulled the giblets and neck out in the sink and then rinsed it off. Flaunting CDC, I guess no one at CDC knows how to wash their counters and sink and hands after handling any raw meat . Just salted it lightly this year. None of the stufffing and coating with things.
Not many coming to Thanksgiving dinner this year. I didn't even ask why, just counted heads. Turkey's too big but that's OK. I like turkey leftovers.

 

bogieb that looks really nice. You have a great eye for style.. keep posting pics BUT I will only admire as my style is much less refined!!

I mean when in exec level meeting my college roommate who has a great eye, would put outfits together and pack them in suitcases telling me what tie with suit!!
I fixed his plumbing

 

It's been flurrying all morning. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

 

My computer is running sweet. I pay enough to keep it clean. Updated to windows 11 without issue. No big changes like there were with 95 and 97. I really think each version get easier to run. So much now is automatic. When I first started everything was dos. Printers were dot metrics.

 

We had a different Thanksgiving this year. I found out yesterday I was covid positive. Got a number of calls from the clinic today getting my antibody infusion scheduled for tomorrow. Kids didn't come down as planned. I will have to get my wife into the clinic to be tested. T dinner consisted of turkey, stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce and black olives. Didn't need any spuds or other veggies. OAT is now down to 19 so the stove will be kept going tonight.
It is good that sometimes things don't go as planned cause it makes us more thankful when everything goes as planned. God is still good.
