Ooh, one of those really dense days where you work two shifts in a row or something? That does sound pretty tough. Still, 5 days off does sound very pleasant. You can do quite a bit in 5 days, even if it's a lot of goofing off.

Maybe sure you bring snacks so you can keep going.

I've had a tough couple days in a row, looking forward to my down time though!

Oh that's terrible, but a new stone will be shiny. Try to enjoy the renewal more than the pain of the loss of the original stone.

@WhiteW - don't know. Just realised before going to bed the other night that it was missing.
@Mrs_Allykat - not only will the new stone be shiny, but they're going to shine EVERYTHING up for me I don't mind getting the stone replaced - I'd be devastated if I lost the actual ring though.

It's symbol of your joy. Resizing rings is like a sign of a relationship maturing. We'll not discuss Mr. Scale. LOL!

Aaah. I figured a machine would be faster since that's how it's usually done for store bought clothing, but I guess the home versions aren't as reliable. Maybe I'm slow because I was just too used to using a crochet hook by the time I first tried knitting. Or maybe it's because I have to use the same type of dexterity with both hands.

Somehow, my post ended up in the wrong topic, I have no idea how that happened.

lol - yeah, I figured it was meant to go on the other one

We also have 14.3. as format here, but that doesnt keep math teachers from having a Pi day

I had apple pie as a snack and homemade pot pie for dinner. It was delicious. Glad you get to join us in the tradition next year! It's not common to celebrate it, btw, just something fun the really geeky do. My family just happen to all be even more geeky than me.

programmers are geeky. We should celebrate it by default.

Also, at the top left corner of the page is a "Help" tab, thats where I learned the spoiler thing. There might be other things there that will help you too. .

Since you asked here: Click the Flag icon and enter the text of whatever it is you are spoiling.

@OmnislashXX I did not know that! I just use the bbcode tags

HexMozart88 I'm not surprised.

And speaking of 911, I actually called it once, on accident. Now I'm sure people are wondering "How do you call 911 on accident?"

I was actually calling a friend and to my shock 911 answered. I told them I was calling a friend, I'm not sure how this happened.

Then my sister figured it out. My friend's number was something like xxx-xx9-11x-xxxx

I'm not shocked. I used to work for a phone company and the number of people who thought they could NOT live without a phone for 24 hours was shockingly high. They didn't care that everyone else in the state had no service due to a lightning strike, they wanted their phone NOW.

Once upon a time, we had NO mobile phones, NO internet, NO facebook/instagram/whatsapp. Yet we still managed to live. I AM glad about mobile phones now - much easier to get help if something goes wrong with your car on a long trip.

@Dalph which ones did you not like so much?

@Shaz
Hulk, Thor: Dark World, Avengers: Age of Ultron, they were still nice but nothing special.

On the other side I really enjoyed Avengers: Infinity War, Black Panther, Doctor Strage, Thor: Ragnarok and both Guardians of the Galaxy. Everything else was just "good" to me.

@VeryXInh what's Black Phoenix? I googled it but came up with nothing movie-related.

I'm used to being ignored. But there was one that irks me was that the same person asked the same question in a different place. I answered here but they also asked in another place. Based on the timestamp, I answered here first before they asked it in another place.

I even mentioned if I already answered it here and they promised to try. Then there was another answer that exactly what I said and the op thanked them.

I try to thank everyone who comes into my threads to help out. If I ever missed anyone or made them feel ignored, then I must apologize. You are all appreciated.

I did get to tell a couple of people and they were happier about it than I expected them to be. They also reminded me of someone else who would be totally chuffed about it, so I'll go tell her tomorrow.

Huh. My dad works at a bank too, I might actually understand it.

Sorry!

I left fb when it was going to be pretty cancer with politics and social justice post everywhere. now im more into twitter. I can follow, block/mute ppl I want and it has better privacy. Also it has dark theme.

I use it to keep in touch with my family, and I have a page there for my game. I have a small friends list and some other pages of interest. Most of what I see is ads

Why did annoying things happen to a decent person? Fate is so twisted.

Search in the plugin releases forum, it's definitely there. Maybe called Save Event Position?? Much better than using Status Updates for this, which isn't really their purpose. But search is always your friend.

All of my plugins are listed on mvplugins.com and link back to their threads here.

NBN = National Broadband Network
Awesome initiative by previous political party to have fibre internet to every house in Australia, watered down to a pathetic fibre-to-the-node but the same old copper line the rest of the way, when the opposition got elected, and their powers that be don't have a clue.

I am told it's all working, and we were without internet for less than an hour. It all seemed very straightforward and painless.

If this were a plugin I was writing, I'd be saying there must be a logic error somewhere!

@Sharm, that's what my husband said - couldn't believe I didn't see it straight away. Yeah, right ...

@Sharm you should know all about it, because we just had a discussion recently about overwritten and aliased methods. I meant to alias a method (do the original stuff then some extra stuff), but overwrote it instead (just do the extra stuff, but not the original stuff). So all the default stuff about setting up the sprite didn't happen.

Oh yes, that conversation where you said that it would all go over my head and I agreed that I only understood half! (This one makes sense, it's like showing one layer of an image when you meant to show all of them.)

@Shaz How do I ask on the forum?

@Poryg the last person who asked me for help via PM then proceeded to ask me how to post their question on the forum.

I swear it's not my second account!

Uh oh. If it were me... They'd be eaten real quick

They are absolutely adorable! Walking around like they own the place, buddies with our cats already. It's just the dog they have to learn how to handle ... but Simon is finding that wagging tail VERY hard to resist!

And just to clarify @Sharm as I just reread my status and realise it could be taken the wrong way. We are not doing the adopting. We are doing the fostering. 5 adoptees plus 3 of our own? I'm not brave enough for that!

Okay, that makes way more sense. Have fun with the cats!

It probably will lol. Time accelerates up to the speed of light when we're having fun.

Sure nuff does.

it always does.

We've got 6 - 8 inches of snow coming tonight, you can have it.

That's not really the kind of cooler weather I'm thinking of But you seem to be all prepared for it!

Sounds interesting. Hope y'all have fun

I love a good BBQ!

Mmmmmm.... BBQ....
