Speaking of the dog and smells, you ought to see her when she is really interested in something. She'll start sniffing and nuclear weapons couldn't get her away from it. Her lower jaw starts quivering so bad from excitement that she starts frothing at the mouth. Then I have to drag her away in case anybody sees her. Might think she's a rabid killer hound!

 

[MattB101]

Darn, and I thought my blabbing all the time would help me win. Posts here on the back porch don't count towards your total post if I remember correctly. Wonder if they count towards total posts on the forum?

 

[DavidOck]

Nope, they weren't / aren't counting Lounge posts as part of the 15 mil.

Got the Win10 notification this am as well, and yes, it will be a free upgrade to at least legit installations. Seems like I saw something about pirated versions, but can't remember either... didn't register, since it doesn't apply...

re: free Win10 upgrade ....

I've got 2 old computer (a laptop and tower) running XP. Even though Win10 might be free, I'm not sure the h/w is up to the task of a new OS yet alone if the apps will work w/ the new OS. Free sounds nice ... but I may just have to limp along.

Just a quickie for my Linux geeky friends: Do any of you have a recommendation for a cheap, recent (ie. still available on Amazon/eBay) usb camera suitable for making HD Youtube videos please? I'd like to do some (vape related) things with a mix of portrait and closey-uppy macro stuff but don't want to buy a camera and find there's no V4L support.

Well crap. I slept through the big win!

 

[DancingHeretik]

Me too. But, it wasn't worth losing sleep over a possibility. When work this afternoon is a certainty!

Hopefully, the winners will be people who really NEED to win.

Well I didn't. I was looking for blankets. It's so darn cold here. May I say we here on this side of the pond would take it as a favour if our erstwhile colonial friends would stop loafing around in their
olympic size swimming pools sending dirty great binfuls of water into the atmosphere that eventually end up falling into my garden.

Night Susan. Stole the pic. I like that one.

Good morning Fran and porchers! I slept through a good portion of it.

Hope everyone has a great day. I know I sure am going to try. Nice to feel wide awake again!

Happy Day!

Thank you so much amoret, that's very kind of you. And I'm really sorry you both have suffered too. (I'm going to pm you I think because "starting a conversation" sounds way too formal!)


Thanks for your support Janet. Actually, it's the other way around. I'm very lucky to have her around; she's the kindest and most beautiful person you can imagine.


I'd love a chocolate vape if I could find a good one. Everything this side of the pond has been dis- appointing/gusting. I tried a Halo chocolate 12mg which tasted excellent but kicked like a mule; more like 24mg at least. (Thinks: I must cut it down to size one day.)

Virgin Vapors organic Death by Chocolate is a good one. I like it with a tad of Maraschino cherry. A bit too deserty for me though.

Uh, Oh! Guilty as charged.

But it's hard to find nice shade here in Florida.

Good Morning All! I slept 8 hours in increments. I was only up about three times? I think. Anyway, I almost feel human this morning. Wish I could mow the lawn today, BUT, it rained again last night. Oh well, such is life. I have lots to do today, which I'm NOT looking forward to.

Good morning Roto! Have a nice day. Some sleep is better than none sleep.

Hmm... just checked / "reserved" Win10 for my desktop, and checked the more info page. XP upgrade NOT supported, nor, apparently, Vista. Win 7, 8, 8.1 are.

I was so hoping that they were going to include Vista.

As everyone can attest, mine works fine with XP. Obviously no-one else at the hangout has the widescreen. It cost me around $30 at wally's
