2:08 am

grannyrose

new gardener started today. young Kenyan man who understood the implications of mowing and line-trimming when Don is around. He has done a wonderful job thus far.

2:09 am

sprite

I am grateful I don't have them all the time anymore. The occasional one is manageable. Mind you, one was over money... that is always bad, lol. I was at the bank and was told I had an outstanding debt, a very old one. 31,85 euro. Not so bad, I thought. Then they told me it was per day, so 18,000 times, and I asked if it would be collectible after my death, they said no and I told them that I knew what to do then.

2:09 am

sprite

oh wow, that sounds awesome

2:11 am

grannyrose

don't our minds play havoc with us? i have nightmares of returning to work, and something awful happens which for some reason i am blamed . and my workmates are all these young people who i don't know.

The an10 is a atypical plural - but that's barely a clue. It doesn't come up in dictionary.com for some reason, although it is given as the plural in the definition of the singular.

Sad news, in case you haven't heard yet. Just heard that Unaixoise passed away.

12:27 pm

oh no. was thinking that I have not seen her in a while

12:27 pm

BzznBea

Oh, no.

12:27 pm

Shirlockc

:(

12:28 pm

hokie carla

oh no, I was thinking about her not too long ago

12:28 pm

BzznBea

I know she had told ru that she was too busy to play, or had other things.

12:28 pm

moolingwa

sad news indeed

12:29 pm

hokie carla

thanks for sharing, welki

12:29 pm

BzznBea

She was probably broken hearted that Rapha retired. She was a big tennis fan.

12:29 pm

welki

heh - i remember her crush :)

12:29 pm

BzznBea

She also had a beautiful garden.

12:30 pm

BzznBea

Many of the plants were ones her mother had planted.

12:30 pm

I'm very sorry to hear about Une. She will be missed. What she did for the canine world was truly remarkable.

12:38 pm

hokie carla

well, just found out I probably knew someone Une probably worked with.

12:39 pm

hokie carla

not sure how it took me so long to see the c word. I've been watching an Australian (I think) show that uses it a lot.

12:40 pm

MollyL

What a great obituary. She was truly a wonderful woman. For those who wish to donate, there are charities suggested there.

12:40 pm

hokie carla

very interesting life

12:41 pm

hokie carla

innie is still not a word

12:42 pm

crosshair

Sorry to hear about Une. My heart goes out to her family and friends during this time. We did not talk often, but I do remember her kind warm soul, and her love for dogs.

12:42 pm

periwinkle

how do I get to the obituary. do I type in the tinyurl below?

12:42 pm

hokie carla

phantom inundate

12:42 pm

hokie carla

copy it and then paste into the browser line

12:42 pm

hokie carla

it will automatically take you to the right spot

12:43 pm

periwinkle

I do not know how to do that

12:43 pm

hokie carla

are you on windows pc?

12:43 pm

periwinkle

yes

12:43 pm

hokie carla

I believe you can highlight it, then click the right button on your mouse and scroll down to copy

12:44 pm

hokie carla

but you can just type it if you prefer. copy/past is just a shortcut.

12:44 pm

periwinkle

I did type it and got nowhere

12:45 pm

hokie carla

you would get to paste the same way, by right clicking and highlighting paste on that pop up menu

12:45 pm

periwinkle

will try again

12:45 pm

moolingwa

or highlight it
then hold down the CTRL button and press C
Then open up a new window of Chrome or Edge
Go to where you'd type the web address, and click in there
And then hold down CTRL and press V

12:45 pm

MollyL

Peri, you don't know how to copy and paste?

12:45 pm

periwinkle

what was her real name?

12:45 pm

periwinkle

no molly I never need to do it

12:46 pm

hokie carla

yes, moo's way is even easier but I was having a mental block on CTRL

12:46 pm

Jessie Lee Bonnet.

12:48 pm

MollyL

Highlight the line of text, right click, hit copy. Go to a new tab, right click, hit paste. Then hit enter. I can't believe you never need to copy and paste.

12:49 pm

hokie carla

I probably copy/paste more than anything else I ever do on a computer

12:49 pm

hokie carla

esp. here when I have to use lickety's list

12:49 pm

MollyL

Me too, it's like a basic function of using the computer for me.

12:50 pm

hokie carla

finally made halfway

12:51 pm

MollyL

I can't imagine typing in all the URLs I copy and paste.

12:51 pm

BzznBea

welki, thanks for sharing.

12:51 pm

hokie carla

12:56 pm

hokie carla

lol, just now found the volcane/poker bet

Oh, not at all, RuRu. Just crediting Une. Certainly not discrediting anybody else.
