AAAAAAND we have eruption number two, in as many years… fun fun fun  At least it’s stopped shaking now, I guess.

Watching the Expanse.  Imagine having the actor credit of “puking diplomat” on your resume?

Ever have a story idea so stupid that you had to write it, just to see if you could pull it off?
I have had such an idea. It’s a furry story about four boys from a racoon-like race whose island home is under occupation by tiger-like invaders. The boys manage to find an ancient artifact that they hope will give them superpowers to drive the invaders away.
Instead, the artifact turns them into a boy band. 
God help me, the story going to be called “Band Together.”

I’m not sure what CAUSED the outage, but it’s now fixed.  It looks like our ISP had to reboot the server after I opened a ticket

What I say: "Hekapoo" (the name of a character from Star Vs. the Forces of Evil).
What my phone hears: "Heckapoo," "pecapoo," "Hackaboo," "Packaboo," or "Hecka poop," depending on its mood.

Apparently the code is not generating the reset link as it’s intended to.  So Manta is looking at that code snippet to see why, and to fix it.

We are working on the password reset thing.  Now, as to the weirdness with the news, that was a corrupt table entry.  Both Manta and I were thrown by the exclamation point that displayed, as we thought it indicated code issues.  it was actually in the database, and is now fixed.

Out Fayed

Working on the next few weeks of schedules and hoping like hell I can manage an actual sane and normal schedule for me instead of 2 weeks on, 1 day off shit I’ve been doing.

Is this validation for many of us here?

I’ve got another zinger from hubs to share! A few minutes ago, I was chatting with Cold about my plants in the window and I said, “I mean, those two need repotting already. They must really like this southern exposure!” This guy. This absolute smartass. He looked at me with a completely innocent face and said, “yeah, but I don’t know how they can stand the accent.”  …y’all. Cold has a southern accent.
Yes, I choked on my spit. That mouth of his makes me so stinking proud sometimes. 

My phone now has a bilingual mode, which means that it will do predictive typing in Spanish as well as English. So I was doing a Duolingo Spanish lesson and typing “Te gusta el…?” (“Do you like…?”), and the next word it suggests is “sexo.”
Apparently, my phone thinks I’m a perv in any language. It’s right, but that’s not the point.

I’m back, baby.

So, work is still hell, still working entirely too much.  finally may have the email sorted out since I upgrade to Win 11

Fun fact and a bit of trivia
The first mention of orange as a color was in 1502 and was a description of clothing for Margaret Tudor
 
 

On this day 3 years ago, I was climbing up the Statue of Liberty.  Good times.

Happy New Year, everyone. Let’s hope 2022 will be great… in a good way. 

Like this FB meme going around.  “There are literally NO rules saying your New Year’s resolutions can’t be for evil.”

Happy New Year to all my AFF friends and family! 

Happy New Year, everyone. Let’s hope 2022 will be great… in a good way. 

Happy New Year, everyone. Let’s hope 2022 will be great… in a good way. 

Happy New Year.  May 2022 fare better than 2021.

Rest in peace, ms. Betty White. What an end to the year. 

Happy Boxing Day Everybody!

Let’s all raise a toast to our brilliant  @BronxWench on her birthday. 
Happy birthday, and may they be many more.
