Here's one of the shrimp on the java fern.

Cute little critter, isn't it?

You should see it with 5 or 6 on the fern. (My pictures came out fuzzy. . . )

Brewing vaquero coffee.

I've got a load of laundry going, and a second load waiting. I did some reading on the deck earlier and after dinner I'll be "on call" to help with math homework.

trichobezoar · 10-15-2018, 03:11 AM

I did laundry ealier--two loads...

Woo hoo, my wifi works again! Thank the Powers That Be!

Rumpelteazer · 10-15-2018, 03:37 AM

It seems today is MR laundry day; I just put in my load. Later today I'm going to run errands with my father. But first I'm going to have breakfast.

The kittens are doing well. Yesterday they were allowed into the downstairs hallways, stairs and upstairs hallway for the first time. Which was very exciting for them. They quickly were running up and down the stairs (occasionally tripping themselves up), they also found out it isn't a good idea to start wrestling with each other on the stairs because you will tumble down the steps.

It's still warm (too warm for the time of year), so we had the livingroom door open, but today or tomorrow we'll introduce them to the catflap. When they've gotten the hang of that they'll be allowed in my rooms.

Waiting for laundry to finish in the machine,packing away food that I have just hiked to town for,and enjoying the tranquility of a rainy day!

Hitch · 10-15-2018, 08:59 AM

What am I doing RIGHT now? Really resenting that I run the GoToMeeting and screensharing, etc., for this course I'm in, at 6:00 in the bloody morning. Grrrrrrrrrrr.

Hey.

Hopefully you actually do not mind my language sentence structure, because i am from Saudi arabia. I infected your gadget with a virus and im in possession of all your personal data out of your operating-system.

It was mounted on a mature web page and after that you\'ve chosen the online video and it, my software instantly gain access to your computer.

And then, your cam captured you flying solo, in addition i documented a vid that you have seen.

Just after some time it also pulled out all of your device contact info. In case u would like me to wipe off your everything i have got - send me 300 us in btc it is a crypto. It\'s my btc wallet transfer address : [bitcoin wallet addy extracted]

At this moment you will have 21hrs. to make up your mind The minute i will receive the transfer i\'m going wipe out this footage and every thing entirely. Or else, you should remember that the evidence will be submitted to all your friends.

Oh, no!!! My GADGET has an STD!

Absolutely hilarious. Who the hell would click on that? I honestly can't even figure out what on earth s/he thought s/he was doing!

Maybe I'm just that much more interesting?

And, just got another one. This one might even have been written by a native speaker of English. It's just better grammar, better spelling, etc.

Oh, and this guy wants $3000

I passed it along to the Internet Crime Complaint Center. They might at least be able to do something with the bitcoin address.

Catching up my case files from domestic violence court yesterday and getting ready to be the staff attorney at the crisis center today.

Oh, good thinking! I didn't even consider that. Well done, you.

I've just watched the first four episodes of the first season of The Sinner on Netflix. Why did I wait so long? When it was just released I put it on my list but removed it later. On a podcast I listen to the hosts discussed the second season quickly and I decided to give the first season a try (the second season has not been released yet).

Now it's time to go to bed and listen to a podcast until I almost fall asleep. I've been using the wired CozyPhones now for over a week (cheaper version of the SleepPhones) and I'm liking them a lot. I think I'll need to the wireless SleepPhones, though because I don't think the wired ones will survive the kitten long when they're allowed in my room.

badgoodDeb · 10-16-2018, 05:43 PM

Yeah, my kitchen looks awful, because I've got tea towels draped all over the place. They are there on purpose; my cat chews cords when she sees them. If she doesn't see them, they are usually left alone.

My not-cheap leather furniture looks like the Hillbilly Tiltin' Hilton, because it's covered with old sheets, blankets, and you-name-it, to protect it from feline marauders, and simply those moments when they are bounding and bouncing from one sofa to a chair to a chaise, etc. (sigh). I love 'em, but...there are moments...
