As geeky as I am with PCs, I really dunno shit about mobile devices; Android seems fine to me.

Andria

Well yeah, Android is fine in most cases. :) I was not decrying Android really. In fact it really is just another flavor of a Linux/Unix style operating system at its core. It is some kind of Java virtual machine if I'm recalling what I understood of it way back when it first come out on the market, behind that is the kernel running it, usually a *nix of some kind. At the time it was released Windows & DOS were still having trouble doing true multi-tasking, or parallel processes. Something to do with an inability to do garbage collecting or operate with memory was the snag, think too many malicious MALLOC calls. *chuckles and hangs his noggin* I'd know nothing of the sort, ooops dropped another buffer. That is why the geeks decided to use the *nix/POSIX back end. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX

But I'm just a hovbbyist and not really had anything formal as far as edumacation on any of it. Some of it I keep up just fooling around, some of it zips right over my head.

First & Last Day On The Job
So after landing my new job as a Wal-Mart greeter, a good find for many retirees, I lasted less than a day.

About two hours into my first day on the job a very loud, unattractive, mean-acting woman walked into the store with her two kids, yelling obscenities at them all the way through the entrance. I said pleasantly, “Good morning and welcome to Walmart. Nice children you have there. Are they twins?’

The ugly woman stopped yelling long enough to say, “Hell no, they ain’t twins. The oldest one is 9, and the other one is 7. Why the hell would you think they’re twins? Are you blind, or just stupid?”

So I replied, “I’m neither blind nor stupid, ma’am. I just couldn’t believe someone slept with you twice. Have a good day and thank you for shopping at Walmart.”

My supervisor said I probably wasn’t cut out for this line of work.
No way!!! lmao!!!
I'll post a photo once it's out of the oven

Man, it smells so good in here!
Ok.............I'll be gone for a while searching for that pic.........and lusting for it.

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
Ordered a Skyline M6 clone &, yet, ANOTHER fucking coil jig, from 3F.

And shit. They shit every 30s or so, lol!
Before we were married, my wife shared a rental house with a friend. It had a "healthy" rat population, thanks to the dumpster at the KFC that sat right behind the house. There was rat crap everywhere in that house, even on the kitchen counters when you got up in the morning. Had an exterminator friend-of-the-family come out to see what we could do about the rats. "Get a cat." he said. He also said that since we couldn't remove the food supply, and it would be an ongoing battle trying to block where they were getting in, that anything he could do would be an unending battle that would cost a lot of money. She got a cat, and she wasn't a cat person at the time. And even though the cat wasn't really a mouser, just its presence deterred the rats from being so bold about moving around the house.

Therefore, I think we need a kitty around here to take care of the rat(s). :cat:

Defend this you simp. I'm not here to defend a thing. Reread my OP. Dont asked me dumb questions. Is it that complex? You are a single turd in a large herd of turd.
They have some really good meds out there now that would help. Citalopram, Prozac, etc. Stuff happens, life happens. Not saying this to be rude. I myself take Cital --- good stuff.
I greatly dislike programming shit
Yea if I didn't have to do it 40 hours a week I might like it more.

I take it some of you haven't read many posts written by our latest troll friend. He rarely posts anything helpful, but is rather prolific with insults and demeaning others. I was never completely certain if he was serious, or just interacts very badly with other people, trying to be funny. Either way, I called him a troll for a reason. He is another Magoo.

Shoot, in that situation, I'd get FIVE cats! :D Great big manx's or mainecoons!!

Our cat is 2/3 a housecat, but she's a hallacious hunter, terrific mouser. She brought something bloody to the garage door yesterday... my husband got rid of it, said it was a mouse head. :D

Totally, 500% agree, which is why I was extolling the benefits of the ignore button yesterday. :D

CAT DIARY

Day 983 of my captivity.

My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects.
They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed
hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the
rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to
keep up my strength. The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of
escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet.

Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet.
I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly
demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made
condescending comments about what a 'good little hunter' I am.
Terrorists!

There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was
placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However,
I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my
confinement was due to the power of 'allergies. I must learn what this
means, and how to use it to my advantage.

Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my
tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try
this again tomorrow -- but at the top of the stairs.

I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches.

The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released - and
seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded.

The bird has got to be an informant. I observe him communicate with the
Guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My
captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so
he is safe.

For now....

I haven't caught up with them all yet. -----> and I don't want to. It's obvious he has anger issues..........Oh it's ok to get angry. But to lash out at others that way is all kinds of WRONG.

My cat Bucky has started an insurance scam where he insures he gets to whack papa. He will walk just off to one side of me, wait, toss one front paw out like I had stepped on it. Then, he whacks the top of my foot with the other paw. He has done this about six times, I get wise after the second time.

This is also been part of his cute and cuddly ploy. My witch says he's about to spawn another 'bruder' cat. She says this was the same process Brother used, he was distant at first, got all loving and then spawned Bucky. Brother has now moved on. We're thinking he found another Frm (farm) to go live on.

So, another 'bruder' cat would be nice in controlling the mice population. We set just above a pasture in a flood plain of a creek. The field mice love coming inside of a Winter. Cats are very helpful as remedies. We let them live in the brn (barn) atop of the hill. In return we get mice removal services. Dogs are just general security. Of course, our little dog I'm 75-80% tempted to dub my service dog, he smells for me.

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.

Andria

I've fallen in love with this plug-in. It really does help me go to bed easily after being on the computer.

Can someone explain how I leave feedback for a trade I made in the classys here?

If you posted in the thread, what Lucy said, will work. If you didn't post in the thread, one of you will need to start a feedback thread to be able to link to, once both parties have responded, then do what Lucy said.

Hi guys, GFY
