I should have put this in green font. I was gunna ask the question no matter who won.

I really don't care, and didn't understand why we needed so much tv coverage of your election over here?

Unfortunately, stupid emotional people decided our stock market needed to take a dive because of the result.

Morning all

It always does on an election like that, the losers start selling so it goes down. Then he winners start buying and it goes back up. At least that's my impression.

Election results impacted marital relations last night between myself and the liberal Mrs. Noah.

My wife and I share most political views.

The Master Gardner course she is taking she says is taught by a bunch of ladies that are retired grade school teachers. Today she went down there to show the instructors some tips on how to send email. When she is the email expert I guess they have a real need for help.

When I was in the Computer club most of the people coming to the club needing help were teachers. Got real frustrating because they didn't really want to learn how to do things, they wanted you to do it for them. And during work hours! And if you went to help them of an evening they didn't even feed you.

One of the first computer clubs I joined was much like what you said. Of course it was in the DOS 2.1 days and almost everyone needed help. I quickly figured out the few smart members quickly and avoid the hopeless time suckers. They thought I should fix their problems for free.
Ultimately we started a small private club with top engineers and I was the dumb member that could not program in assembly and my batch files were sloppy. I was the one that taught them about Fido Net long before the internet.

Thanks, age is just a number. A big number sometimes but my mental age remains at about 14 or 15.

I had to give up the shorts today. It was 39 degrees at my house but warming up to low 60s and it will be a pretty day. Tonight Mrs Carrera will actually buy dinner at my favorite restaurant, Pearls and I figured getting dressed up in Jeans is OK for my birthday dinner. Normally she never reaches for her wallet when we eat. She "lets" be buy except on my birthday.

Shorts will be back tomorrow!

I had a follow up doc visit today to see how the BP is without the meds. It is, in the nurse's exact words, "perfect". WooHoo!

Still have to deal with the colonoscopy thing but that's not until next month, maybe. My doctor and the surgical place can't seem to communicate very well. The nurse told me today that the surgical site is overwhelmed most of the time so she will stay on them to get it scheduled. yay


Windy as heck but warm here today.Wifey and I are going to use a gift card we received from her boss. The place is "Unbelievable Freakin' Burgers". We'll see about that.

Colonoscopes are no big deal. Just the prep the night before sucks big time. Demand a early morning appointment. With no food the night before and no breakfast the hungries set in fast.

The best part is you will be under doctors orders to fart at will. They don't put a time limit on that!

No. But she was one of those who was scared and discouraged Tuesday night. Compared to the rest of her family members, though, she made it through very well. The rest of her family is on the verge of a meltdown. Which prettying sums up the sentiment amongst the social circles in my part of La-La Land, also.

Instead of saying the prep "sucks big time" a better description is that it "blows out the wazoo!"

Ah ha ha...The Wheel of Fortune is on the TV in the other room. The volume is not very loud.
While typing this one of the contestants solved a puzzle and I swear I heard him say "The poop is in the pudding"

Glad I haven't had any pudding and now certainly don't want any pudding.
