Best wishes to everyone, Millie.

D, them are some wild PJ's on that jackass.

Good Evening.Is the kettle Ok tonight ?
I've flushed to Tea Pot, so we should be ok for a decent brew.

I'm going to the Eye clinic tomorrow (Laser treatment ???)
Perhaps some expert will explain it all to me

Millie, I hope your mum's issue is minor.

HP, thanks. The last Earl Grey I made had a tang of dragon scale. As for laser surgery, it depends on what you're having it for - cataracts or glasses replacement. In either case, the surgeon basically focuses the light beam at the area they want to alter. Burn away the cataract or reshape the lens.

In the late 1940s Theodore Woodward, professor at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, instructed his medical interns: "When you hear hoofbeats behind you, don't expect to see a zebra." Unfortunately, many people with Pulmonary Hypertension will die before their doctor realizes they have a zebra. PH is rare and if not treated properly it's fatal. People (like me) who have Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension have the fancy zebra, luckily our condition is a bit easier to diagnose, it's just super rare so no one goes looking for it.

November is Pulmonary Hypertension month so you may see zebras if you turn around.

Dad called, and they put her on stronger meds, a new med to control her asthma better, and gave her a big ole shot of steroids. I'm sure she'll be right as sex in a rainstorm soon. maybe I meant to say right as rain.

 

[TarnishedPenny]

Good news!

The evening coffee is ready.

D, I wasn't slighting your zebra, I was just pointing out the fancy dress code.

Supper was grilled sausage, mac & cheese, and ranch style beans.

Zebra didn't take it as a slight, he's prepping for his debut in the spotlight for November and is a bit antsy. You might say he's a bit of a Zeema-Donna

 

[Rustyoznail]

Just noticed the audio booth at the top of the AH page. HP had some good advice - don't sip coffee with the mic open.

 

[TxRad]

That is possible from experience on his part.

The midnight coffee is hot and ready. No dragon required.

 

[sirhugs]

should I poke HP's dragon to get the day started? I hear zebras don't make coffee the way unicorns do...

(sorry- not sure whghat a unicorn has to do with a dragon and a zebra...will give myself a time out... just obsessed with unicorms for some reason, maybe because as humans go, I may be one - thinking there is a plot bunny there, but have you ever seen a plot bunny with a single horn rising from their forehead? Didn't think so. )

 

[Rustyoznail]

Sir H, you ok or has the lack of coffee scrambled things?

 

[Duleigh]

Getting ready for next month I've been trying to teach Z how to make coffee, it's hard for him to hold the scoop with hoofs, and when he tries to hold the scoop with his teeth, he ends up eating the grounds or snorting them. He won't eat the grounds after the coffee is made, he says those are too bland.

Coffee is on, I made it this morning, Z made the tea, he's good at that one.

I microwaved my first mug of coffee (leftover from yesterday) and reset the coffee pot for the wife before she wakes. Now that she's up, it's time for a refill of my coffee mug.

Did somebody unplug the internal server? I go to log in and I get:
Internal Server Error
It looks like the External Server is working fine. Someone needs to go and reset the Internal Server.

When I used my normal link to the forums I got the video files instead which didn't load properly.

Sometimes when I try to post I get server error as well.

Looks like we're up and running.
I tried to warn Laurel about those Packard Bell servers, but she wanted to keep her costs down...

On my second mug of coffee this morning, and it took me this long to remember I had another new story posting today to LW. It's in my Lifestyle series and has two discussions from a different (third-party) POV as to why the couple are into sharing.

BUT after my last troll-magnet, this story is getting more views and 1-bombs faster than my previous chapter. I'm at 2.22 avg with 27 votes and over 1,700 views! My previous chapter has less than 2,600 views in almost 2 months.

Making friends and influencing people by poking trolls.

My internal server has had errors for years.

It was 48 degrees this morning. A high of 67 for the day. Is that the Twilight Zone music in the background?

Making friends and influencing people by poking trolls.

Once you've set the bar as low as I have, poking the trolls becomes an entertaining sport.

 

[Handley_Page]

After a debate at the Eye clinic this morning, we've decided that it's better with a "come back in six months" treatment - this time.

What I missed this morning was my coffee. . . .

Dad called, and they put her on stronger meds, a new med to control her asthma better, and gave her a big ole shot of steroids. I'm sure she'll be right as sex in a rainstorm soon. maybe I meant to say right as rain.

I love that - and hope you don't mind if I borrow it for selected use in conversations!

If you haven't read it yet, you should look at ChloeTzang's troll-baiting story A Troll is Haunting Tex's.

Xander used to have a place in the basement before TexRad evicted him, dissinfected it, and put in his dungeon.

 

[TxRad]

Hey now, dungeons are way more fun than smelly trolls. Anyway, I couldn't afford to feed the fat bastard.

 

[sirhugs]

Sir H, you ok or has the lack of coffee scrambled things?

that would be the lack of sleep, my friend
