What's Making you Feel Better Today?
 

After watching Brian Cox explain the second law of thermodynamics (entropy always increases) on Wonders of the Universe last night, I feel better about my storm-damaged roof, my deceased kitty and my own slouching towards Gomorrah.

What's making you feel better today?

pubs, drugs and money


and Warren Zevon.

"Enjoy every sandwich!" - Warren Zevon, RIP

Brian Cox would make me feel better too.
I wish he was here right now, I'm a little poorly today. Not to mention hot.
I need him to take my mind off it.

I watched him too the other day.

What a smiley, happy guy. My husband says you can tell he is loving life. He'd make anybody feel better.

A Marilyn Monroe Movie Marathon...

Nothing yet. The day just keeps getting worse.

Holy hell! I'm drinking the same damn thing right as I saw your post and this is the first time I'm trying it. I don't think I could ever drink "Canada Dry" or any of the regular soda ginger-ale ever again. This stuff blows my mind its so awesome. Crazy coincidence too I think, I was just thinking I should post about it here.

Ha! Awesome stuff isn't it?

OMG! I can't describe. I've only had real ginger once before in my life, but this gives you the EXACT same tingle/burn. It feels....good, but hard to describe. The taste has just the right amount of bite that ginger has, but not as strong as eating ginger straight, which is good. I honestly didn't know soda could be this awesome. I almost feel like I'm taking some sort of drug and am high to be enjoying it this much.

MTP: You just convinced me to try it, and I usually don't drink soda. I want to try something awesome too. :D

I'll be right over...

I hope today is better for you, K.

I been and done the hoovering today.
Living room, stairs, and upstairs bedrooms.

It doesn't sound like much, and it isn't, but it's the fact that Mum asked.
No drama, no snide remarks, just a simple ask and immediate response of, "No problem!"
I've been suggesting this for years.

She is mellowing as she slows down - Dad had chores in the morning now, that she used to insist on doing herself and then grumbling about hours later, or bringing up in rows weeks later. She often asks me to things I wouldn't think to do, so added to the things I offer to do (never do without asking!) we're rubbing along quite well.

I won $8.00 from a scratch ticket today. Count the victories, no matter how small.

Thanks Jim and HLJ. Yesterday was a little better. Today was worse again but then it seems to be mellowing out a little.

Hang tight Kero ...

thanks, classic.

Whiskey is making me feel better atm.

in that case, get it? ;), hold on tight - you don't want to spill any.

I feel better after spending far too much money in the medical system and finding out I get to keep my hub-sand for a while longer. Nothing serious, this time.

yikes! glad to hear it was only scary, and not scarry.

3 rounds of skeet tonight and I killed from #6 high house.

How many hits per box of shells ???

One of the old timers is going to tutor me. He was shooting about 23/25.

nit bad for a Rookie
Cool Listen to what he has to say ,
I used to be able to pull of solid 19-21 , with an ocational 24-25

hey! I used to pull for skeet and crazy quail! Moved up to line judge, too.

Was a great summer...

new pool pump is ordered. I feel kinda better. But it halved our reserve and it aint here, installed and working yet..... but I still feel better....

I'm going to go and cry now, back later.

I want to feel like I would have liked that guy.

So every time she's just getting over the loss, more flowers? :eyebrow:

:lol2:

Kinda scared the crap out of me yesterday. I got an email from our head honcho IT guy saying somebody at my firm had their identity stolen and the bad guys cleaned out their 401k account. He strongly recommended setting up 2 step authentication with a cell phone to receive texts.

I had naively though that getting money out of a 401k was a huge job, with lots of forms to fill out and stuff, so I was never all that concerned about security. So I checked mine, and saw that my future was still safe. The funds were still there.

So now today I'm setting up the two-step authentication on all my various accounts and changing all the passwords to more secure ones. It's a real pain in the ass, but I guess it's smart in this day and age.

Yes, I went thru that a year or so ago sort of thing, and it is a pain.

But the state-of-the-art people who are involved with passwords are clear.
... an 8 or 10 character password just doesn't cut it anymore.
And even some big banks are behind times in their sign-on setups

Also, most people cannot create a password that the hackers can't figure out whenever they want.
It takes a minimum of 12 - 14 random characters to be
non-hackable with the speeds of today's hackers' computers.

But that is almost impossible and very inconvenient for the human brain.
Thus, "password managers" are becoming the convenient and secure way to go.

I changed over to a password manager that has an excellent reputation,
is cross-platform, automatically updates between all of your home, work, and cellphone
computers, ipads, etc. and is versatile, e.g., making cell-phone (digital) payments.
Everything is stored as encrypted data, on your own equipment, not the cloud or theirs.

Google "1P" or send me a PM if you'd like to know more about my experience with it.

The times, they are a-changing.
