I lost my grandmother last night rather suddenly and unexpectedly.
Sorry to hear that :( My condolences.
@dday9 - very sorry to hear that.
Aside from my dad’s mother who passed away when he was 18, this is the first grandparent that I ever lost. So I’m simply happy with the fact that I got to spend 26 years with her.
Plus I have no regrets. In fact, just three weeks ago, after volunteering up at Boy Scout camp, when I was leaving it was right around the time that my grandparents would be going to church, and so I decided to attend church with them. And I could tell that it really made her day. Plus just this past Saturday she was at my house for my one year old’s birthday party.
I guess what I’m saying is that I’m confident that she knew we all loved her before she died and I’d like to believe that have her some comfort.
How old was she?
I'm without grandparents, at this point, but since both grandmothers made it to about 100, I knew them for much of my life. My mother's mother took a picture with a digital camera in the year before she died. She had been born in 1905. There were cameras around at that time, but they were a fair bit different. Just think of the changes in technology she saw in her life. Might be even more for us.
Well, it's weird. She lied about her age and even lied about a lot of other personal things that we didn't find out until my mom was about 45ish. So as far as we can guess she was probably close to 80.
We didn't start learning about some interesting things my grandfather did until he got dementia. Probably could have been called dimenstia for him, since it opened up whole dimensions of his life. He was always pretty taciturn up till then.
Hey guys finally getting a moment to post this up. Bought my wife a Golden Doodle for Christmas that she has been wanting for a long time. Now we have 3 dogs :eek:

Cute pup!
Oh he is! Pics don't do him justice at all. Hes like a teddy bear but dog version
I used to be a dog person until I owned a pure-bred border collie... he drove me insane!
Border collies can do that. Those are serious working dogs. If they don't get to herd things, they can be terribly high-strung.
I got caught in a sea of sheep last year. A herd of several thousand (maybe tens of thousands) were being moved down a highway to get them away from a fire. There were a handful of shepherds and a handful of border collies. The sheep were going absolutely bat-spit crazy, and me driving up to them didn't help. The rancher was in a truck leading. He told me to just drive through them, but as I approached, they started moving back the way they had come, and off into the woods on either side of the road. I felt the shepherds would prefer that I not spook the sheep in the wrong direction, so I parked. It took a while for the sheep to get up the nerve to pass the car, then they went by in a long, flowing, stinky, stream.
At the back of the herd were the border collies, and they were loving every minute of it. The sheep were moved a few miles, the collies ran a few tens of miles during that time. You could pretty much hear them saying, "yeah, yeah, let's move these frickin' oversized cue tips!!!"
That is a perfect description of border collies.
I thought they liked to patrol the border for illegals
I had an Australian Shepard several decades ago. Had some cool boomerang toy that he just loved. Liked it even better when little kids were running around - instincts turned right on.
Took a few minutes... programmed a simple app to get the number of birthdays shown on VB Forums today. 4009 is alot!
Just read somewhere that the Afghan people love to use 1 Jan as their birthdays - many don't remember their birthdates, and those who do remember, cannot convert them from the Hijri calendar to the Roman or Greek calendar. Also with internet speeds being slow, whenever they are asked to pick their birthdate, they tend to just select what is already displayed, 1 Jan. :-D
I just hope they all didn't select the same year too. :-o
My wife and I have decided to become pescatarians. Luckily living this close to the gulf gives us a bunch of fresh options to choose from with regards to seafood.
There's something fishy about that decision.
I'm doing it for health reasons. I'm curious if this new diet will help me lose weight, plus I'd really like to know where my food comes from. I'll still go hunting, kill my own food, and eat it. I've just seen too many videos of butchers using stuff like carbon monoxide to keep the meet looking fresh, I'd rather know how fresh something is up front.
Yeah, factory food is always a bit odd.
However, I'm reminded of a guy who brought some venison in to the Fish and Game office. The meat had a bunch of little brown spots all over it, though it was supposed to be quite fresh. The hunter was wondering what the spots were and whether the food was safe to eat. Half the staff studied the meat for some time before somebody thought to ask how he had been storing the meat. It had been in a colander in his fridge. The brown spots were where the holes in the colander had allowed air to get to the meat and oxidize that area.
I generally support locovore, but it can't be for everyone. There simply isn't enough meat on the hoof to allow for more than about a third of the population (even out here) to eat wild/local. That changes if you go straight vegetarian, but even then there would be enough to feed people if we just foraged.
Sup guys! I'm back from the dead. Had caught that serious new flu. Lost a week and a half of my life
Mais me too, I'm still feeling like crap.
We've had loads of people out of the office for that reason. I've been out of the office to AVOID that reason. It's worked thus far.
Still trying to get back to 100%. Bad cough is all that's left. Although I did lose some significant weight specifically my gut :D
Contents, I presume.
I'm in Albuquerque. Last time I was here, I came home with a cold. Might happen again. I'm not blaming the location, I'm blaming the travel to and from.
I was in Albuquerque the first week in August, and the first week of November.
The first trip I think I ate something for the last meal there before heading back to New York so had unpleasant intestinal problems starting early in the morning (around 3am) the day of the trip back.
For the November trip I meant to travel back Friday morning, but inadvertently pick an 8pm flight, not 8am flight. And the trip back to New York involved Alaskan Airlines through Seattle, so the trip was a Red Eye from Seattle to New York so I didn't get home until Saturday morning.
I just got back from a week trip (Monday down, Friday back) to Orlando a few hours ago. These were all business trips, so not a lot of sightseeing, although I did take the tramway up to Sandia Peak that last day of the Albuquerque August trip, before the infamous restaurant visit. I found it interesting that the tram system was built by the same Swiss company that built the cable car system in Lucerne, Switzerland, which I rode in August 1984.
Getting out of Orlando was quite a zoo. So many people traveling out of there on Friday. I was glad I hit the security line two hours before the flight because you really needed most of that time there. I'm used to smaller airports where such a lead time is unnecessary.
I was in Orlando for Christmas until New Years and now I just got back from Tampa (went on Tuesday). Orlando was pleasure and Tampa was business, but both were fun.
I went to the store today and now Im back home. :D
I wandered around today.
I ordered hash browns with my grand slam.
I drank some coffee this morning.
Whats for lunch?
Crawfish etouffee!
Bacon avocado cheese burger and fries!
Sushi.
It is snowing/sleeting in south Louisiana :eek:
It is raining in Idaho.....we should trade.
Its cold in LA, 70/50 :eek:
So... apparently I hate snow.
Happy Hump Day guys!
If you are a bactrian camel, do you celebrate Tuesdays and Thursdays?
Well of courseQuote:

Absolutely.
I've just downloaded FireFox Quantum's developer edition and this sucker is FAST!
Firefox Quantum Developer? So, you're talking FireFox 58 right? I found the Internet Explorer dig in the article a bit humorous.
Actually it's FireFox 59 and it's awesome.
That dig was hilarious by the way.
