giant late lunch after having to fast

Posted on December 28, 2021 | Leave a comment

After fasting all day for the doctor, I stopped at the cafeteria in High Point and got a lot. Rebound.

I couldn’t stop with just over eating at the cafeteria, so I brought home an entire pie. 🥧

My giant lunch plus entire take away pie

I should stop shaving for a couple of months, squeeze my squishy body into this, and go somewhere. Then nobody would notice if I had a mask on or not.

masked santas

Posted on December 25, 2021 | Leave a comment

Somebody posted a pic of their Christmas tree today with ornaments that are a Santa with mask. Some people lovin’ this stuff.

Those ornaments gotta be made in one of those countries we’ve been instructed to hate.

museum of endangered sounds

This site is nice. Sounds of aging technology, like modems negotiating a connection over copper phone line.

Windows 95 start-up melody is there. I still have it on my modern Linux desktops, saved and passed along from one hard drive to another since I got my first Windows machine in 1996.

AOL Instant messenger is nice, also ICQ. I still use ICQ. The default sound is still “uh oh!”

silent night

This version of Silent Night is gooder ‘n anything. Love it. Turn up subwoofer.

Youtube link below, or search Neurobic – Silent Night on a music service.

Silent Night works like a charm in so many languages. I heard my spouse’s father rock it in Pennsylvania Dutch one time.

announcements as image only, no text, leave people out

Posted on December 24, 2021 | Leave a comment

A couple of churches from which I receive e-mail, I keep looking and looking for info on the Christmas Eve service, and it’s not there. Then I remember major sections of the newsletters from these places often get text converted into a remote-loading image so a sprig of holly, or something can be added as decor.

The remote images don’t load, and there’s no “view in browser” override.

Text-as-image also leaves out many people with visual impairments. No inclusion there.

If you type up something to convert to an image for an announcement, include the text, too. That way everybody is included.

Just frustrated, again.

With the rollout of the next booster, will there be another wave of the arm/bicep/bandaid pics, or could it become passé?
