What's on your mind today?

[Magdalena]

All of you are on my mind. All of you are always on my mind. But Icarus has been on my mind lately. Things in Florida are bad right now. Stay safe, my friends.

[No one]

I've said it before, I have energizing crystals, also I have put salt around the perimeter of my dwelling. The evil 19 is powerless against such a combination.

[billy rubin]

yes.

everybody use common sense, okay?

try not to do stupid stuff

[Randy]

Now he tells me! I've been doing stupid stuff all my life!

Thank you for your concern Mags.  You are a sweetheart. (don't tell your husband that I said that)

I have become a hermit of sorts and seldom leave home.  I have enough maintenance work on my house to keep me busy and at home for a long time. Currently, I have to remove 13 interior doors for sanding and re-varnishing.  That'll take a while and is sure to keep me away from smoke filled saloons and miscellaneous bawdy houses where the risk is high. 

We have a sufficient number of local dunderheads who refuse to wear a mask.  None of them come even close to me.  The majority of our citizens are observing the common sense methods with masks, distancing, hand washing and all the rest.

I reach out to my HAF friends and urge them to be damned careful about exposing themselves to the virus.

Good to hear you are doing well.

Starbucks Frappuccino: It is the only drink I like right now. Maybe after chemo is done (which I hope not soon) my taste will return and other things will taste good again.

It comes in 9oz and a 13.7oz bottles. There are various flavors. My caretaker just brought to me a caramel flavored one. Ah, the nectar of the flying spaghetti monster. Well, actually that's beer but I can't have that yet so I'm substituting. I'm sure his holy meatballs will understand.

When I get to the afterlife it will have a beer volcano with nobody telling me I can't drink anymore. I don't know if it will have bottled Starbucks Frappuccinos but plenty of beer to be had.

I can't do crystals, and they're too expensive anyway, but I can salt the perimeter.  I have an extra box of Morton's.

I went out with a girl who is into crystals. They're surprisingly affordable...

[Randy]

I went out with a girl who was into salt. Salt is pretty cheap.

(No, I didn't but it seemed to fit.)

I'm starting to believe my computer and I are telepathically connected. Last night I would repeatably get the [dark ominous music]Black Screen of Death[/dark ominous music] before the Windows logo appeared. Suffice to say I was a teeny weeny bit worried. I nudged my computer, gently at first, and thought I heard of squeak of complaint. Like it wanted to continue sleeping or something, I don't know...I don't get computers.

So of course I spent practically all night awake and thinking that in the morning I was going to jam a hammer right through the screen if it didn't improve its behaviour. Tossed and turned all night thinking about that, I did. Turns out this morning the first thing I did when I jumped out of bed was to turn it on and Voilà! No  [dark ominous music]Black Screen of Death[/dark ominous music]!  I was elated because I wouldn't have to spend loads of money to buy a new one. 

People say positive thinking can have an effect on events. I say, if that is true*, negative thoughts have just as much.

*I don't think it's true.

I was a computer programmer / software engineer or whatever they call us now in my former life. Getting the [ominous music]black screen of death[/ominous music] was just as frustrating. I threatened to get a screwdriver and take it apart every time. Eventually it cooperated with me.

Covid-19 and the entitled twatwaffles that spread it!

Those Windows screens of death used to be blue. On my Mac I've had the occasional spinning beachball. That is perhaps more elegant, but frustration as hell as well.
