It's a crying shame that we have The Muppet Christmas Carol but no Muppet Die Hard

He did! At that time I had a new boss whose husband would ring in, ask for her, and give a false name (often an old Everton player or manager which meant nothing to anyone else, but made his wife laugh). I was so close to calling him out on giving Bamber Gascoigne as his name! 😱

It's 1:42 AM. I have an emulated Macintosh IIfx running System 7 so that I could mount the original AppleScript distribution ISO and read the documentation the way it was intended (part of it is a HyperCard stack, of course).

In another window I have open a copy of the Windows 3.1 Device Development Kit (describing how to write device drivers for Windows 3.1).

I should really go to bed.

Talking about dog toys during game night tonight...

Ben: Japan needs to make a dog toy that you can control from outside the house so you can entertain your dog while you're at work

Me: No, Japan needs to keep making incredibly cute stationary to satisfy my journaling habit, don't ask Japan to change focus

Jupiter (drolly): I think Japan can multitask

I got a bad headache tonight. I left the table and went to my room to see if I could find a meditation to do. I found this track on the Insight Timer app called "Tension Headache Relief Isochronic Tones 160Hz", and I was very skeptical but tried it, and it HELPED. Wow.

Got back to the table and told Jaime I'd found "headache music" and she said, "Oh, was it in the Insight Timer app?" Turned out she'd found the same one ages ago and uses it regularly!

Fortunately, they don't have to pay for their sleighs, because they are on the house!



I don’t understand one thing: EU and my own country of origin has “frozen #Russian assets”. They say they *might* use it as a *loan* to help #Ukraine. Am I the only one who thinks that:

1) Those should be confiscated
2) Those should be given to Ukraine, no questions asked

🤷🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

in reply to Michal Bryxí

sorry, my formulation was a nod and taking what you said further, explaining how absurd I think a loan is 🙇

@kaspi All good. Short for exchange is hard. And I’m hardly ever sure I get understood. Glad that we do agree & see things in similar light. 🤗
