Happy birthday in advance, and remember, growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional  

ty guys. i am having fun for my birthday cuz i am off for the whole week again. not hotel so its a staycation. 

Staycations are good, play, write, whatever!

Welcome back! 

ty @Desiderius Price. 

When I was a kid, every night I would chow down on those tuxedo-ish cookies after dinner. 

But I’m just dense—I never perceived their vast orgasmic potential.  Closest I came was cocking a funny look at that lady in the commercial when she started moaning—then imagined her naked. But at 15 there was only a limited set of women I would not picture naked. It was what my day was for.

I try my best to stay out of the faking an Oreo wars. I mean, are they really faking an Oreo or just improving on the whole experience? Is an Oreo by any other name a Hydrox? 

wanders off to find more coffee...

I’m glad you got your phone back.

I’m curious as to how the carrier was able to trace your phone to a specific person, however. It doesn’t seem like the kind of information they would be able to get by pinging your phone/sim, unless the thief was stupid enough to contact the carrier and provide that information in an attempt to unlock the phone or some other such thing. This has absolutely tweaked the research portion of my brain now, since my carrier wasn’t able to trace my mother’s lost phone because its battery was dead (I wanted gps data on its location).

Just as a side note, I’m one of those exceedingly paranoid people who doesn’t use her phone as a banking link, email hub, or anything much other than as a phone and occasional camera. What happened to you is why, although I’ve never lost my phone, keys, or even an umbrella. Gloves, on the other hand, vanish with alarming regularity...

ok so to answer you @BronxWench, the person who had my phone must have given cricket her name and number because that was the only way i got my phone back. Everyone (including me) thinks she was going to try to get the phone restarted or take the sim card out and put it in a new phone when she couldnt access it.  i couldnt trace my phone cuz it was off. When she  tried to turn it on and off again thinking she could somehow get past my passcode to even access my phone. when my phone boots up, it says cricket right there. She didnt even appologize to me for taking my phone. 

Yea i am now very paranoid now cuz this happened. I happen to use it for work to help stupid customers find what they are looking for at the store (ahh the joy of retail), i dont bank on my phone but i play pokemon go and a couple of my apps that i buy coins from are in my phone. but i am getting them off so incase this happens again.

Well, fortunately the thief was dim enough to give out her real name and number, and it ended well for you. I’m not surprised she didn’t apologize, though. Anyone who’d steal a phone isn’t going to get gold stars for good manners to begin with. But unfortunately, it’s not helping with my plot notion, because I was kind of hoping for dazzling detective work and not self-incrimination by the thief. Ah, well. There’s always “Person of Interest” to stream for inspiration. 

I back up my phone to my desktop monthly, so I don’t lose pictures I might have taken. I also back up my contacts list. That’s really most of what I care about on the phone anyway. As for my mother’s phone, the battery was struggling to hold a charge, and it was one of those inexpensive Jethro phones for seniors, with giant buttons and no ability to use apps. If someone has it, bad cess to them. I’m a believer in karma, and she’s a patient bitch.  

Do what I do. Only count the decades.  

Or do what I do: forget how old you are.  I’m 40-something, that’s as much as I remember.

Decide on your preferred age and each time you have a birthday you turn into your favorite age again. There is risk that eventually your chronological age eventually will intrude on reality by giving you physical traits that does not agree...but then it is just to remind yourself that mental age is what counts. A friend has the explicit goal to turn 50 without becoming a grown up...seems to work wonders for her state of mind.

Myself I have decided to stay at the age of 42-ish for quite some while. The COVID year should not count...

He’ll be missed indeed. 

yes, we rewatch some recordings.  no guest hosts had his elan and crispness

they had a tribute on tonight’s episode.  Alex had the cancer for 2 years, which is long for pancreatic… he recorded his last episodes only 2 weeks ago. there’s 35 episodes in the can to play yet.  After that???

thanks willow! ill find out tomorrow if the discount card with make my meds cost alot less or not

I hope they work for you. migraines suck

ty @BronxWench

Congratulations, Kagome.   

ty @WillowDarkling

I totally agree. Beyond awesome!

What was the idea?

Believe me, I know how you feel (I work at a grocery store).  On the bright side, at least we’re still getting paid.

true. but i dont work in the grocery part. I hopefully will not have to cut a shit ton of fabric tomorrow cut my DM sent me a picture of all the good fabric gone! finally i might beable to get the top shelves done!

I got the special designation of skeleton crew essential. The hallpass thing is annoying as hell. But, having a magic paper is better than having security “politely” requesting you to go home.

Sorry to hear that.  Hopefully things get better for you soon!

P.S. Almost done with my story for your prompt.

i mean @BronxWench or @DemonGoddess wouldnt mind if i set up a prompt for others to try! 

I don’t have a problem with it!

Put something in the Writer’s Corner thread, like we do with the Hallowe’en and Holiday collections, but instead of setting it up as a collection, you can just challenge others to write a COVID-19 story in their favorite fandom, and maybe link back to the thread so others can read what they wrote.

Good idea – need to self-isolate those stories for at least 14 days!

“I’m… I’m not detecting any fever in fact, according to this you… you’re dead. You’re too cold, you have no pulse.”

“I told you not to bother fucking testing me, cabron. I’m only here for a snack. Sleeve up.”

I’m very happy to hear the good news about the baby, and I hope the rest of the pregnancy is nice and uneventful!

thanks guys. my sis informend me alot i didnt know about. like shes having a c-section cuz of my sisters heart, they have it planned when shes having the baby and its earlier than we thought….fingers crossed

Great news for your family! I hope all goes well!

I hope it all turns out for the best.

Happy birthday, youngster!

I mean, I’m only a year behind you, so I know how you feel.  At any rate, happy birthday!

thanks guys! lol. 

What version of Windows are you using? If you have a valid copy of Windows 7/8/8.1 on your computer, you probably can do a free upgrade. You’d need to download a copy of the Windows 10 media creation tool from Microsoft, which is free to download. But, and this is the important part, you need to have a legal valid copy of Windows 7/8/8.1 on the PC/laptop already.
