It's so cool that they talk. I talk to my cat a lot, but all she ever says back is "meow". Or sometimes "brrrrt?".

Night folks, have a great Sunday......
G'night
Ah well at least you've got it serving one good function, in reading ebooks. Think I would almost appreciate dedicated to for doing that. Wife says I can use her tablet here for whatever, when she goes to work. It has Android, Marshmallow I think on it. Told her I would an Ubuntu or Debian app Linux on it. But that would require rooting to actually function as I'd like. Do not want to foul her tablet for her and rip off the android.
There is pro's and cons to ebooks. You can store a shit load of books on sumptin like an Ipad or kindal. But it just doesnt have the same feel of holding a book and turning the pages. At times I read a lot, then I will go long periods without reading. So with an ebook, you never lose your page but eye strain can also be a bitch from them.
My Ipad probably has over 100 books on it and I read around %95 of them. Sadly I cant share the books with others when it is an ebook unless I let them link to my accounts and that I am not wanting to do.
Yep, can understand that. I like reading Terry Pratchett in paperback novels. I would though like an electronic copy of Back To Eden by Jethro Kloss, one that would update regularly. It was an excellent work of valued information on herbalism. No that is not drug reference, instead it's about using natural herbs such as basil, yarrow, colt's foot, black root, Jew's ear, burdock, mandrake, Castor, and so on as natural remedies for common ailments. I think it falls under homeopathy or holistic healing.
Having spent a week alone in the woods as a teen, I learned the very rudimentary basics of what to consume and not. This spurred my interest further and led me to find Back To Eden at a rummage sale, I haggled the old bird down to a dollar. She had it on sale for three. Looking back I probably ought to have give her the three. It was indeed worth it to learn about how some plants had been used from the beginnings of time in healing, and modern medicine was now struggling to keep up because of well, profit.
Used to run around with a small cadre of the rough and tumble crowd. One old fellow told another, "hell you drop that boy anywhere in any form of wild, bet you'd come back fifty years later and find him all smiling and bringing you something to eat". It was then, I realized a disconnect with a great deal of what is considered modern, contemporary. It may have been growing up and learning of work, life from what we consider the old timer, working class mules which buffered me from that disconnect. My grandfathers had taught me how to read things well and to keep perspective.
Still that disconnect exists even today. Find myself living in a few vastly differing worlds at times. It's alright though, I survive.
Oh yes, almost forgot my manners. Here, enjoy some of my infamous Trinity Beans. They aren't mine by recipe. I just make them up good. Anyone can make them though.

Well done , well done
Same here (but longer than2 years ago), I guess if you spend enough time over there kissing up to the powers that be , it changes some folks, sad panda
Me too, Huck! I always knew they were smart, I just didn't realize how individual they were, and how much personality they have. If they could be trained to use the toilet, I'd want some!
Fanook, or Finook: derived from "finocchio" or fennel, a derogatory term for homsexual or gay, i.e., people that wiseguys feel nervous around. A "mezzofinook" is half gay, sissy, bi. Forbidden Fruit: the lure of a wiseguy to a nice Italian girl from the neighborhood. G.
Good morning, folks! It's been a busy weekend thus far with family visitors here this weekend, plus trying to get my lawn mowed. Managed half of it before the rains came. Just got caught up with stuff here with parrots, a certain rodent trolling here and such, more FDA depressing crap. Anyway, today's a new day and we'll see what it brings. I did manage to get a Kanger dropbox 160 on preorder. I hope to be able to get all the stuff I am wanting from my list eventually.

Well, not the toilet as many birds drown in them. They can be paper trained, but that's not a good idea either. They may hold it until they have the opportunity to use their poo paper, which is unhealthy. And if something happened to you, friends and family wouldn't know (or be able to handle a bird who loves you only), and then the bird could die from holding it.
Most birds won't poo on you though. They will wait, or hang their butt out over the floor and let it rip.
And dem southerners was makin fun I needed a new thermostat.

Anyone ever buy anything from Kanvape? They seem to have something I'm interested in, but I've never heard anything about them
Think my Lady ordered my Aero Tank from them, on one of their Ebay based sells pages. Product shipped in reasonable time, was all in good order. Later, I dropped the tank accidentally of course, Pyrex glass didn't like the concrete floor. Picked up a steel tank replacement for it from Discount Vapers. Me dropping the damn thing was no fault of Kanvape though. * chuckles * That was me having a moment of "fuck, my fingers, what do they do... oops, shit!"
good morning GFYers
Arg! Make it stop. I'm getting land sick.
That's how I feel about it: until I'm unable to get out and around, I want to be doing something to keep me occupied. Right now, I plan on umpiring as long as I'm still able to put on the gear and get on the field. And if that stops being an option, I can always become a greeter at Walmart.. "Welcome to Walmart. Now, get your shit and get out!"

I have. They often have good coupon codes for big discounts on Tobeco clones, and their clearance stuff.

Sounds like a job for @Robert Cromwell - he's practically retired already and is not only skilled with a mower, but can also help you out with that family/visitors problem
I'd give him a call

My cat talks to me more than she does to my husband, even though she's a real daddy's girl. My husband was grumping about it... I told him it's a "girl thang."
But even so, her meows are more like squeaks. My little squeaker. Unless she sees a cat outside... then she kinda mrowwwws. Andria

Although I think this is the ratio for rabbits: for every pellet they eat, they shit out 3.

As geeky as I am with PCs, I really dunno shit about mobile devices; Android seems fine to me. The tablet is non-GSM, but my phone is GSM, which I have managed to learn means that the tablet can't be used as a phone under any circumstances, it's strictly wifi, but my phone could use any data provider just by changing the SIM chip. But I'm happy with MetroPCS for the phone, they have good rates on their plans, and all their plans are unlimited data -- they don't charge more if you go over the amount you pay for, it just slows down, and I really like that!
But yeah, the PIFed tablet was because of my interest in ebooks, and now that I've gotten into that, I find I REALLY like it -- my local library lets you check out amazon kindle books! And when a book is due, you don't have to do anything, it automagically falls off -- beats heck out of having to truck it to the library to avoid fines! It also means that my actual trips to the actual library, I don't have to check out enough books to break my arm -- last trip, I checked out only 5, instead of 10-12. And now that I have a mobile phone, I have my own mobile hotspot everywhere I go, so my tablet is useful everywhere I go -- another nice little perk from metroPCS!
I really hate telephones, is the main reason it's taken me this long to get a mobile phone, but these gizmos do so much more than a phone, I can forgive it for being a phone.

The other bad feature is that insomniacs can't use it to help them get to sleep -- I learned a long time ago that about an hour before I go to bed, get off the computer and read an actual book -- something about the light source keeps you wakeful. So that's why i do still check out actual books from the library, so I have something to read before bed, or to take to bed when I'm having a hard time falling sleep.
