Ralphie ★ Posted November 3, 2019 Share #1 Posted November 3, 2019 I think I already used it by watching Planet Earth II On Nat Geo from 11-12 last night. Watched part of Islands and most of Mountains except for the part I slept through. That series is standard BBC good stuff, very interesting with spectacular cinematography. The snow leopard one made use of those new motion activated cameras in the Himalayas. Ibyxs are so much fun to watch scampering over steep rock faces. And I never knew that iguanas hunted under water for up to an hour without a breath. And the part aboot snikes chasing hatchling iguanas was incredible. Pretty amazing that those suckers know right from birth that snikes are bad news. Quite a contrast to those helpfess human babies! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoseySusan Posted November 3, 2019 Share #5 Posted November 3, 2019 I drank a big Coke Zero at the movies last night, so I didn’t fall asleep until after midnight. I’m up early to grade papers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at my old workplace on a bike and had to get home over a toll bridge. I stopped to call my now retired carpool guy but a wood chipper started covering me in sawdust so I had to move a few feet to get out of the spray. My phone was covered so I used a voice command to call him (on my old work phone which doesn’t have that feature). Then I got a message that he was no longer with the company. Then I was with the current guy and when an annoying song came on the radio I pressed the ! button to be sarcastic but that turned up the volume so I then had to turn it down manually. Have I mentioned how weird dreams are in the last hour or so of sleep? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted November 3, 2019 Share #8 Posted November 3, 2019 In my work dreams I usually know I’m retired but they make me work anyway. They tell me they really need me. I tell them I don’t have work boots, safety glasses, hard hat any of that stuff. They tell me it will be ok, just be careful. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groupw Posted November 3, 2019 Share #17 Posted November 3, 2019 I tried to watch F1 qualifying on the DVR, but fell asleep before Q3. Went to bed without restarting.

Tizeye Posted November 3, 2019 Share #23 Posted November 3, 2019 What hour? I woke up and hour early. But since was dark and cool outside decided to go to the Wetlands Park and wrestle some gators. Only saw three, and none were large enough for a good old fashion wrestle! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted November 4, 2019 Share #33 Posted November 4, 2019 I spontaneously woke up early, then ate breakfast a half hour early because my stomach was still on Daylight Savings Time. I then spent the extra time before the NFL games started (9:30 AM EST game from London) figuring out my probable stock dividends for Q1 2020 because I have a goal to get them to a certain percentage level in "safe" stocks in case I ever financially need to take them instead of reinvesting them. The details for anyone interested: I decided to add AbbVie (ABBV, 5.7% dividend) to my monthly stock and fund purchases. I got 1 share of ABBV for every share of Abbott Labs (ABT) I owned when ABBV was spun off in 2013 and it soared from $35 to well over $100 and then partly fell back to being underpriced in the $60's. It's $83 now and still underpriced. I own it through its DRIP, administered by shareowneronline.com, and there are no fees for buying new stock or reinvesting or cashing-in dividends and you can buy fractional shares to the nearest 1/1000 of a share. I added AT&T (T, 5.2% dividend) to my portfolio last year when the dividend was over 6%. It hasn't been lowered: it was raised for the 35th consecutive year by 2% in February but AT&T is up 43% this year! Abbvie's dividend was raised to $4.76 from $4.28 beginning in Feb, the 48th consecutive year its been raised going back to when it was part of Abbott Labs. I love stocks that have durable competitive advantages, steady long-term growth, and kept increasing their dividends right through the crashes of 1987, 2000-1, and 2008-9 and every year for decades to now!
