  1. I say to hubby “yay, packages!” he says ... “We are not expecting anything.” The driver gets out and yup....looks like we are getting a package. with great anticipation, I ripped it open. I didn’t even look at the return addy. It was an amazing gift from the lovely man that we all adore. JSHARR! He sent me coffee. I am so super excited. I am ashamed to say that we usually buy cheap coffee. Well, not Folgers, but lower quality. Like, Gervalia, and other decent grounds that are on sale. so this is a huge treat. Yay @jsharr Thank you 🙏

  2. Upgrade mostly done. Many processes rebuilding in the background, so there could be a little slowness. Will add back a couple of themes tomorrow, they are not all available yet.

  7. If I talk to her about something in our lives, she tends to be against some of my plans. If it turns out to be my husband's idea... Well, then it is a fantastic idea. When I told her that possibly we wanted to move, because of some problems at our home in the last couple of years. She sorta scolded me and was like "You are never happy. Your house is perfectly fine." I told her it was the neighborhood that was degrading. She tells me that all neighborhoods have issues. Agreed. All places have positives and negatives. So, we end up buying this property. I told her that my husband has had it with this location and that he wants us to move and build a nice new home. She says "Your husband is so smart. I trust that this a good idea. If he wants to do this, then you should go." Totally changed her tune, when it is his idea. She constantly does this. It isn't just this house. It is anything that is his idea vs. mine.

  14. Gravel ride in Loudoun County. Purcellville VA. I was planning on a 33 mile loop but missed a turn or something so turned around and rode back. 15 miles, one hour. The building is the Ketoctin Baptist Church. Established in 1751, the building shown was built in the 1854 (pre Civil War). Spelling must have changed over the years as most places share the Catoctin spelling. Found a nice gravel road and followed that several miles but never saw the turn shown on my cue sheet. Turned around and went to Bellylove brewing in Purcellville for a beer. Flying Unicorn Crotch Kick IPA. Very good, around 8.5%, so just one today.

  15. Helen Hunt, raving bitch.... She was one of the most despised people on the lot. Fortunately I didn’t have to deal with her as she was at Culver Lot and I was at SPE but my team at Culver filled me in on her antics. When Mad About You was up for an Emmy they weren’t sure what would be worse, winner Helen raving bitch or loser Helen raving bitch.

  16. None of us look like we used to. Trying to achieve that will generally fail. Accept that you’re getting older. Otherwise you will resemble the Egyptian Sphinx one day. And who wants that?

  19. Yeah that’s a tough one. My mom used to piss me off frequently but as she aged I just decided to stop caring what she said or did and just be civil. Her last years were the best in our relationship as I decided to stop being pissed off at her.

  26. I saw someone fall into the channel connecting my marina to Presque Isle bay yesterday. I believe they had been fishing. Outgoing boat threw them a PFD, but they were able to climb out a ladder to the shore without further incident.

  27. Last year, Maryland in the U.S. Team Chess League barely LOST to Team Tennessee then the Baltimore Ravens were UPSET in the NFL playoffs by the Tennessee Titans. The first round of the 2020-21 Chess League is being played (online, at least 1 move/3 days) and Maryland had struggled to a 5.5 to 4.5 lead over Tennessee with 8 points (8 games) remaining. Until Yesterday. My Chattanooga opponent and I finished the last 20 moves or so, live-online over an hour plus, of each of our two games simultaneously and I managed to sweep both games! This was a thrill because my rating had drifted down from 1889 to the low 1700's in 2019 in a bad slump and, because I beat a high-rated opponent, I gained 57 points back with those two wins alone and I shook off some of the rust from not playing a rated game for most of a year. Now the match score is 7.5 to 4.5, we're doing better than Tennessee in the remaining 6 games, and need only 2 pts. to win the match! My games, with interactive moves, are here: As Black: https://www.chess.com/daily/game/271524232, As White: https://www.chess.com/daily/game/271524238, Match Score: https://www.chess.com/club/matches/team-maryland/1142640 Here are the final positions of both games and the chess.com analysis summary using the world champion computer chess engine, Stockfish 11. Note that an accuracy of 88.73% or higher is considered Expert Level (2000 rating) of play, 92.65% or higher is considered Master Level (2200), and 94.2% or higher is considered International Master Level (2400). Also note that having 3 days/move raises your level of play at least one category level compared to a live game. Chess.com uses the analysis to determine if you've been cheating by using a computer chess engine to determine your moves: computer play is recognizable vs human play because humans use strategic and tactical plans that can win without the absolute "best" move being made in order and computer engines use brute calculation. Few players cheat because there's no real accomplishment. Clearly we didn't cheat here - each of us would have lost against a computer due to at least a few weak moves/game.

  36. I hope the themes make it easier on my eyes. I'm at 150% magnification now and these are some small fuckin letters. Usually I mitigate that by using a theme to reduce the stark black on white contrast.

  40. A day late and a dollar short. Last night was some fast food chicken, but a friend I did a call to gave me some fresh Roma tomatoes! Made a B.E.L.T. Sandwich. (Bacon, egg, lettuce, tomato) with Sam Adams Oktoberfest. Egg over easy. Photo just before putting the halves together to smoosh the egg! Yum!

  42. Many people don't know this but a quotable quote from Charles Lindbergh is called a "Lindberghini". A more obscure or less popular quote by Charles Lindbergh is a "Lindbergher". The things we pick up along the way.
