Glad your power is back, Av. As for me: Hi, everybody! The news that the Tank is gone brought me back to the Watch! :lol: We'll see how long it lasts... Things are good here. I'm still in Santa Fe, just up the road from the Albuquerque contingent. I've seen Cameraman Jenn, Rigel, and danlo a few tim...

Yikes, Damelon! Yeah, storm surge is almost a bigger danger than the winds (or so the National Weather Service told us when I worked in Tidewater Virginia all those years ago). Glad your friends are okay.

So sorry to hear about dAN's condition, TOM, though I knew some of it from seeing your posts on Facebook. Hope he's still doing okay, and big hugs to you. (((hugs)))

Best of luck. Writing long stories is like reaching into your brain through your nose with forceps and pulling out a long tendril of brain cells one millimeter per day for several years. Except the forceps thing usually gets way more views. :) You're not far off the mark. :mrgreen: Just now seeing ...

Their dumb McAfee software is also blocking AVG from updating, and I also can't get my purchased products downloaded from the 3D graphics software website I've been using to make book covers. Can you turn McAfee off? Running two antivirus problems will cause conflicts. Never used AVG, but I can't s...

both hurricanes 🌀 still predicted for Louisiana. I have relatives there. :cry: Hoping everyone is all right. The smoke here wasn't too bad yesterday when I went out to run errands, but the wind must have shifted. I poked my head out the door earlier this afternoon and smelled it. Bah. That said, ou...

Update: YAY! I just spent about 12 quality minutes on the phone with CenturyLink (5 minutes of which consisted of wading through their voicemail prompts :roll:) and convinced the tech I spoke with to remove McAfee from my modem. Got to the Watch just fine just now, and Daz Install Manager is updatin...

Well hell, just wander in huh? You should be able to whitelist it. (Or disable it, but that would disable for everywhere probably.) Don't think we can get them to remove it, since I suspect other (sub)domains on this server may have at some time been a bit dubious. Will ask Vain. :D --A I thought I...

Happy b-day to everybody I've missed.

Kinda warm here in Santa Fe, but the big problem is the unhealthy air quality due to a forest fire burning northwest of the city. So I feel for ya, Sorus.

Good news, Menolly! And hopefully good news, Sarge! Good to be back. Still getting the stupid "the Watch is malicious!" notice from my new ISP - which is to say their built-in internet nanny software has us flagged. :x They sent a tech out last week to check the speed - the problem was app...

You guys get a Women's Day, Av? That's so unfair... So hi everybody. :wave: It has been a rocking and rolling couple of months. I'm retiring...I'm not retiring yet...I'm gonna stay on and work remotely 'til the end of the year...oh wait, no, I'm not...my last day at the firm is July 31st but I'll be...

Hang in there, Cag. We're all on your side.

And I vote for a second opinion, too, especially if you haven't evened out on this new protocol yet.

I never got an email, either, but I'm in. Found the whenisgood link and painted 'em all.

Welp, I retired, and I moved to Santa Fe, and now I have CenturyLink as my ISP, and I have now gotten a "NONE SHALL PASS" message from them that McAfee has listed the ihugny domain as malicious twice. And I've only been here for a few minutes. :\ Wish there was a way to disable that bloody...

Happy anniversary to all youse!

Why does everybody poop on the '70s? The hairstyles weren't *that* bad. Well, maybe they were. This sounds like no fun at all. Good for you for keeping a positive attitude. I am not hearing the part about stage 4 and...that other word you said. Not. Hearing. (ali sticks her fingers in her ears) LALA...

Lynne Cantwell - Seasons of the Fool 8O :oops: Gosh. Thanks, SD! (Might have to give it a re-read to see what I wrote...) Oh, and Damelon, I noticed you mentioned Ivan Doig. I haven't read that one, but he has a loose trilogy that I liked a lot. The first book in the trilogy is called English Creek...

Gorgeous day here today. The high was 73 and the humidity was quite low for DC. I probably should have gone for a walk - there's a chance of rain for tomorrow.

I swear I'mma try to be here more often...

EDITED: Wait a minute. HeartBOOGER?
