Oldest DD landed in London about 10a our time. Her in-laws picked her up at the airport and they got back to their flat around 11:30a our time (I believe 5:30p their time).
She is sooooo excited...!!!!!!!
I'm not quite sure when their heading to Ireland, but, I think in the next few days.

@Gabe1, you need to get out from under this dark cloud. Sorry about your DD. I hope things work out okay.

Thanks. Not that it makes it any better but it wasn't my DD that fell, it was my GodDaughter. But yes, it has been a heck of a year. I try and ride my bike most days, it is a wonderful stress release.

Stay there as long as you need. I may sleep for a day or 3 when we get home

I ended up falling asleep in the hammock. Even when the dog barked at something I woke up and then went back to sleep. I was able to get out of the hammock without assistance too. Success!

Not unless I can watch them for free. I'm cheap that way.

Yeah watching them for free would be the best. They are often on tv, or you could check them out from the library.

 

[Gabe1]

Hahaaaaa...!!!
Beat me to that one too...!

My virus protection is flagging all sorts of stuff the last month It has been the ads on the websites not the websites I visit it appears. Not sure if the ads are packing virus' or if my virus protection has gone super sensitive.

Well, you know those new "hipster" chefs. They have to put a lot of stuff to make it stand and differentiate themselves.

Just like there are restaurants who want to make noise by making the biggest burger, pizza..etc.. or make the spiciest food.

Yes, quite the conundrum...

 

[donaldtoo]

look at those demoniacal red souless eyes..

 

[Gabe1]

I haven't seen Avatar yet and we own the Blu Ray

I need to see Avatar too, a necessity I guess.

Not sure why anyone would think that saffron threads are necessary with ribs. Ribs pretty much stand on their own, don't you think. Don't mind me, I'm old and stuck in my ways. Some things just aren't necessary in my mind.

I enjoyed the Food channels about a decade ago. I was kinda addicted. I actually learned some techniques even though I was a pretty good cook to start with. Thanks Gran.

Then they got so bizarre I lost my love of the shows. It was either something prepared that was ridiculous or what seemed to be a prefixed outcome to the competition. I hated the shows that belittled restaurant owners. I hated that in home improvement shows too. Didn't find it enjoyable to watch.

Ribs are one of my top 10 foods. I like them smoked, boiled/broiled, BBQ's. I enjoy sauces from all regions. One of my favorites is Flame. We also in Norther IL has a couple Sweet Baby Rays, the original inventor of the sauce before he sold off the brand but was able to keep 3 restaurants and use the sauces there. Beyond the regional preps and sauces I don't want my ribs to be an oddity.

My GodDD posted some photo's of both a duck soup and duck meal at Morimoto. She said they were simply created but beyond flavorful. Yum.

Cat logic: "Oh, you're on a work-related call. I should tell you right now about how much I missed you as loudly as I possibly can."

I honestly believe your cat is most likely screaming "CALLS ARE IRRELEVANT. I AM IMPORTANT. PAY ATTENTION TO ME HUMAN!"

Oh no, I just clicked open the bee article that Donald posted, but the article seemed fine. But now I'm worried after what you just said. (Just curious--how did you know the link might have viruses, etc.?)

my antivirus immediately detected an script loading a malware/virus and trying to open it in browser.

It was an Scrinjet.B Trojan

From the Godchild

Magical express drama followed by a 2-hour flight delay. Fun times.

Our bus was ok other than taking for ever to arrive at the airport, We had to stop and help a ME bus that lost a wheel. That whole bus got on ours.

 

[Cesar R M]

Ooops...too late!
I was on it at lunch from my work desktop.
I continued on the Internet, and was using CAD and Sketchup (I have 2 monitors, 1 CPU) the rest of the day, and had no issues.
How do you know that particular site has those bugs...?

I work in a similar system as you. Since I got 2 screens I cant work with 1 lol.
And most mallwares/trojans/viruses wont tell you anything or show anything. Its obvious they are trying to infect you silently to spread.
Anyway as my prior answer. My antivirus detected it as a Scrinjet trojan variant.

That seems to be the norm on Ad distributors lately.
I still remember when global art sites like deviantart.com and cghub were affected by the same distributor.
A rogue group bought a "rotating banner space" on these sites but added a lot of trojans/viruses embedded.. infecting a lot of machines.

Not to mention the damning sound enabled ography ads :/

be careful donald, they might suck your soul! D:

do watch in 3d.
Thats the beauty of it.
The movie was definitively designed and made to look awesome in 3d.
Most other movies are just converted which doesn't do carp..
