We're in Houma for the weekend. My wife's grandfather had a silent heart attack and some seriously bad sepsis this past week, but it looks like he's getting out tomorrow.

I have no idea what that is, so I read it as 'brochure', and was thinking....he had a heart attack and you're wanting a brochure about it???

Re: Post Race!
Been a little under the weather this weekend, lost my voice due to a sore throat, coughing etc.
It all started as a HeadAche and a Gaggy feeling.
Which made me want to tell you about my battle with cancer.
Strangely enough I went to the doctor with a tooth ache and the doc said I looked pale and decided instead that I needed a random blood test to be done.
Sure enough.
I was diagnosed with AML Lukiema on December 16th, 2009. Oh what a day. What a journey. I was 10 years old, can you beleive that?
Here I am 7 years later, 7 years cancer free, and worry free - well not entirely.
That is why I picked up coding partially, its a stress reliever. And also computer knowledge helped me help others also. Along with that, my mom was studying Information Tech. for her BS degree. That had some inspiration (none was forced or even said) I picked it up myself.
Why would at the time 14 year old (it was 2015 when I picked up programming, it was before I turned 15, I think it was May or june of '15)
be stresed?
Lots of reasons, not only had I battled cancer - I also had several CLOSE family members pass which made my life as a cancer paitent harder, on my last round of chemo my grandmother had passed. about 1.5 years before my grandpa had passed. I am not going to go on and on like a sob story. but, all in all it was a tough few Pre-Teen years for me.

Re: Post Race!
I've got a friend who had a cancer like that (there are so many forms of leukemia that I wouldn't say it was the same). He's nearing 50, been cancer free for decades, and runs marathons, sometimes to raise money for leukemia research. So, that's a fight you can win. As for losing relatives, that's fate.
There is a zen story about a rich man who went to a famous calligraphy artist and commissioned a picture of good fortune. When the artist told him that the picture was ready, he was shocked to find that the picture was the phrase:
Grandfather dies.
Father dies.
Son dies.
The rich man was shocked. "I asked for a show of good fortune" he cried. The artist replied, "This is good fortune. Anything else would be a tragedy."
I have no grandparents and only one parent left. Not looking forwards to being an orphan at this late age, but the alternative isn't too appealing, either.

Re: Post Race!
A boucherie is kind of like a pig roast.
Most people I know use a pig just before it becomes full size, but some people use a full sized boar. You cut a pig down the middle from it's neck to the groin to make it flat. Next you place the pig in a steel cage to keep the body flat and then you build a big fire in a boucherie pit which essentially reflects the heat back to the pig.
Here's a picture of my buddy who just had one coming back from the war(I blocked out his face and name):

We have LOADS of beggar squirrels along the greenbelt in Boise. Those little nut *****s come running up to anybody who even looks at them. I wouldn't be surprised if there aren't squirrels out there who get over half their annual calories from handouts. People walk with bags of peanuts and other things for them, so begging is a pretty viable life style.

So they are pan handler squirrels. Guess they will soon be at every freeway off ramp and street corner with signs... Homeless, can you spare any nuts?

Well....they are at street corners...and elsewhere in the street, though they are usually pretty flat at that point. Other than that, they don't bother with those low value locations. They accost people out for a walk. They're fox squirrels, too, which seems to mean that they mostly feed the foxes, but they are about the same size as the gray squirrels in the east, though the color is more like a red squirrel.

I haven't been away. I'm perhaps posting a little less because my clients actually seem to want me to do some work for my money now (I view this as totally unreasonable but they're the ones holding the folding) but I'm surprised it's dropped off enough for anyone to notice. Still it's nice to be missed
Speaking of which, welcome back Arrow_Raider. There's a lil' monkey mug we haven't seen in ages.

The Brits would never go for it, but that never stopped us from simplifying the spelling of words before.
Just for kicks try watching a NASCAR race with closed captioning turned on. The word "tires" gets spelled "tars" and "oil" becomes "ole" etc...

Re: Post Race!
You are stressing spelling and when you do not spell a word correctly I look for a hidden meaning.
ri·dic·u·lous /rəˈdikyələs/ adjective\
adjective: ridiculous
deserving or inviting derision or mockery; absurd.
