Oh my....here are some videos of dogs greeting their masters who have been gone for months in Iraq or Afghanistan.
I am sobbing by the time I see this last one. Don't tell me that animals don't have "opinions" or "emotions". WOW.
My DSL is repaired but will only work if I'm hooked up to the modem via an ethernet cable.
I've tried, for an hour this morning and another hour tonight, to configure the Linksys wireless router (which I installed and have previously reconfigured a couple times). It comes up as configured and connected but won't let me go anywhere - everything times out.
I think the problem is internet security settings... that I have them configured, somewhere, for the wireless router too. I've checked, disabled, and/or reset everything I can think of but still can't get internet access via my wireless router.
Yes, it is making me insane.
Been busy with other stuff tonight and I just realized the time. I'll have to use my car post as my Nablo of the day. Back to quasi-theme posts tomorrow. By the way, there are still a few post suggestions given in a previous post that I can use, but feel free to throw more at me if you wish.
Given that this is Remembrance Day, let me leave you with this video from Veterans' Affairs Canada.
Hmmm, sorry, vox's video thingy isn't working. Please go here.
Why, yes, I have. My love, Mr. P, does get kissed quite often, but he got extras today for his service, and because I'm very very happy that he is not in Iraq anymore. I had the day off, which meant that I was at least somewhat productive-- I did get some sewing stuff done that had to get done, and finished the second edit on the paper and worked on additional accoutrements. The project for which those pieces have been made is due tomorrow, and I think now that I will be able to get it wrapped up-- yeay!
In the meantime, I took Mr. P out for a Veterans' Day lunch, wherein we stuffed ourselves so completely that neither of us is interested in dinner. Instead, we're going for an episode or two of old skool Star Trek. We are just wild and crazy, que no?
it is possible I'd seen stand-up before watching Richard Pryor Live on the Sunset Strip, but if so, Richard made me forget about it. RPLotSS was one of the first shows that incorporated performance into stand-up
Richard covered a lot of ground in 80 minutes. a meditation on love, loss and the difference between men and women:
about his near-death from an explosion while freebasing cocaine. merciless
NOTE: I feel silly even mentioning this, but just in case. This is RICHARD FUCKING PRYOR peoples. offensive language is a given. do not listen at work or at grandma's house.
Him in recovery, crystals have been removed from his bladder, he'll probably get to come home tomorrow afternoon with drugs and the cone of shame.
Thanks for the thoughts.
HRTortie had a great night yesterday, being on FDaddy's lap all evening, sleeping on Mommy's electric blanket, and cuddling with me early this morning. I was under the covers with her, thinking about all the stuff I needed to do and worrying about TK, till I realized that I couldn't do anything about any of those things at that time, so the best cause of action was to go back to sleep petting the warm floofy purring tortie. The Zen of Floof got me another 4 hours' sleep.
I'm putting it out here now...even though it's only November...
I mean if you can listen to Christmas music in Walmart in October...you will LOVE this!
Silent Monks "sing" the Hallelujah Chorus....
and he's earning his pay today. I'm getting a strong feeling that he can't find anything wrong.

This will probably be my last post before I head out to spend a few days at the bottom of a big hole.
The weather is supposed to get cold and rainy/snowy on the Rim, with a 20% chance of rain at the bottom. If by any chance you want to follow my weather patterns, here's a link.
I think I'll stick with my original packing plan, maybe throw in some fleece pj bottoms and wear one of my light ski jackets instead of a spring jacket. Best to stick with light layers. The ski jacket is pretty much just a shell, but it's more wind and rain proof than my other jacket.
The beauty of it all is that we're staying in a cabin, bedding and toiletries provided, meals are included, etc. I'm not sure what I'll end up doing down there, but I can guarantee it won't be thinking about work, my schedule, etc.
Because this isn't a normal walk in the park, I'm also going to call MomH before I head down. Someone died yesterday on the same trail we'll be using to get out. Sure, he was an older gentleman, but you never know. I'm not sure what happened. When BrownAmazon was out here and we tried to go down the trail, some crazy chick in flipflops hit a patch of ice and I thought she was going to knock me over the edge. So I'll be careful, I promise.
I'll post again on Sunday with pictures! Yay!
