Here and Now...What's Happening?

[1inMany]

I haven't been able to say this yet. I'm saying it now. As of this morning, I am divorced. Now I said it. Moving on.

K has kicked whatshisname to the curb. Sparing the drama here. Sending her strength to hold tight. Three days and counting. Go, sweetheart, you can do this!

Heart procedure is scheduled for next Tuesday.

Just a couple more tough weeks to get through? Maybe? Then I can look ahead and breathe a sigh of relief. Maybe. And get back to remembering and growing and becoming...and being.

Much Love,

[ulli]

I have not watched it yet, but I know someone who swears that grounding worked for him and cured his arthritis.

I go barefoot on the grass whenever I get a chance now.

Thanks for sharing, Billy.

I'm happy for you, 1InMany be strong and be well!

In other news, my son had developed an earache from a sinus cold and he was running a fever. I doctored his ear through the night with garlic and olive oil and Reiki, and kept a compress of AlkaThyme on his ear periodically. He was near a 100% percent better in the morning. That's a good combination for earaches, FYI.

Be well all.

Getting the odd 'forum server is busy, try again later.' messages. Anyone else getting this??

Yes, I did earlier. I've lost track of time, but my guess-tamation would be 1-1.5 hours ago. It's also happen several times in the recent past, too.

I got a server busy Sunday night at 11:00 pm.

No problem here -- it's been over two hours since the server experienced any load even marginally above the typical.

The server had its usual heavy load Monday morning after 2 am, US Central timezone (where I am guessing you are), due to a weekly backup.

But nothing shows up in the server logs for the time you mention.

[Carmody]

Something to look into, then? Possibly that someone is playing subtle games?

when i get back on, I see ~'1400' users on line. Yet that forum busy situation tends to only happen when the load is much higher.

I'm saying this has happened, as a message I get, the odd time, over the past 1.5-2 weeks. eight-ten times now, for sure. Yet, no more than 1400 or so on line at the given return of service.

Whatever the game ... it was not visible to the server, nor to my independent server monitoring tool (projectavalonstatus.net) in Dallas. Both constantly monitor server load and responsiveness, and record anything even the slightest worse than typical.

(My conscious mind claims that I said the above not out of defensiveness, but for the purpose of clarity. Heaven knows what my unconscious mind makes of this <grin>.)

Besides all of my photo links (uploaded images) going missing. many of which are key to the points I'm making in the given thread/post.

I cannot use my own images, for other threads and posts. They are unavailable to me.

There are insufficient details in your comments for me to determine whether this might be anything I should consider further or not .

In particular, I don't know whether you refer to

• attachments last seen loaded onto the Avalon server,
• images last seen on some server under your own control, or
• images last seen on some third party server.

P.S. -- A bit later, I recalled discussing this matter with Carmody a few months ago -- and ending up a bit further along, but still in the same fog of insuffiicient detail.

Well we had our share of excitement at 3am this morning.

Y'all might recall when I was having proplems with the pit bull from across the street coming into our yard and harassing us. All that resulted in the owners getting some kind of electronic fence going, which resulted in no problems in recent months. Well, here over the last few weeks, my wife and I had noticed the dog ranging further and further afield, and yesterday morning she came along through our yard with another dog, and with a little water hose action they went home.

So, a little over an hour ago, we awoke to the dog raising ten kinds of hell, shut up inside our screen porch on the side of our house. So, I went across the street and got the dude up who owns the dog, and just before he came to the door the dog got out of the porch. My wife was on the front porch, I heard her yelling and saw the door slam, and I was headed back towards our house when the dude finally came out and I told him to come get his dog, which he did so rather grumpily. When the dog went charging toward my wife, with me across the street, she had to grab the cat Vishnu who went charging toward the dog to protect her (are you listening, samwise, ha). I heard a little while later, the stake being driven into the ground in the darkness across the street, and a little after that the whine of the dog having been tied to it. Needless to say, we aren't getting back to sleep this morning. Too much excitement for three am, hopefully this will have disrupted the dude's life enough to keep his animal better. I explained to him before how I very sincerely do not want to handle it, myself, the redneck way. Getting into my porch, after my cats no doubt, and subsequently trying to get to my wife on the other porch, this drama will soon end one way or the other. Here is to hoping for responsible canine ownership.

It's pretty obvious that your neighbor's dog would rather live in your house, with you all.
Never mind all those cats, he says.
And he is getting desperate about moving in for good.

Sending transformative energies to the neighbor, to wake him up.

Oh, and hurricanes with a female name kill twice as many people as hurricanes with a male name.
People don't take them seriously, they ignore them, they don't respect them, so they take less precaution.

Woke up early this morning to beeps and toots because my electricity was out. Which also means there’s no water.

“No problem. Remember? You’ve got your stash of 5 gallon buckets of water for wash and flush.”

My recent back injury replied, “No can do. Couch’s too heavy to move.”

To which I answered, “I’ve got bottles and bottles of water tucked away.”

I also keep several gallons of water in the freezer. So, I transferred a couple to my refrigerator.

I still say, there’s a lot more perks to living in the country. But it’s no where perfect even when you’ve got stash of supplies. Like travel to market if no gas is available, (and IF food is available) and heat in the winter, air conditioning in summer. I purchased a battery operated fan and got a boat load of batteries. But at some point, no amount of groceries and supplies will do. Especially when no one else around has prepared for the long term. Like the lady down stairs that has her TV on 24/7, she’d probably go mad.

Thanks Carmody. This track was composed from another world. It has the "WAVES" of RAVEL´S BOLERO. Up above and more.

DREAM BY DAY. WORK AT NIGHT.




Hugs to Nora, Marianne, One in Many, Calz, Chico and Don Boscoe

Imagine this tune at the end of the film instead. It would work. Not as well, as it was not designed from the ground up as Zimmer's score was. But this tune would also work as a orchestral piece, in the same way. Try it at 720p/HD rez .

(I must confess, my 'puter sound system has full size floorstanding speakers and a pair of subwoofers.)

I dig a loud, clean stereo. One day (consumer alert!) I'll be feeling the sound from a McIntosh
