Isn’t server 2008 out of MS support end of the year as well? (better be, the amount of my year wasted on supporting “server upgrade projects “…) Sounds like the poor thing should be taken out back and put out of its misery. I got to go out into the real world and actually interact with people today. First time since I left the hospital. Made out just fine with the cane, so I’m pretty much done with the walker. Got to see my massage therapist, who did some work on my legs, which have been causing me some grief since the surgery (expected, a lot of moving not quite the same makes things unhappy ). And we stopped by the FLGS, so I got to chat with a couple of the guys there. And my wife both got me a dice advent calendar AND went down and picked up Korean food for lunch! A pretty good day. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go sit down, go take a leak, go eat lunch.... 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe go clothes shopping with all this unexpected downtime. Ah, sorry for the confusion. No, originally I was going to have Sunday off and work Saturday. Now I might be needed tomorrow. But they don’t know. They test the glue at midnight but have said they won’t contact me until after 6am when they decide what the day shift will be doing. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Well our Niece Amber and her daughter Emma came over tonight and put up our tree for us. So the house is decorated, Christmas music is playing and the Grinch will be used for target practice! 9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a suggestion but don't be too eager to abandon the walker, especially for situations where you anticipate extra standing in place. With the walker you can always "take a load off" and sit down for whatever amount of time would otherwise be spent standing and putting stress on the lower limbs. Otherwise, glad to hear you are recuperating as speedily as you report. GEM 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Eyed Monsty Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Planned to go to the Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony at the State Capital in Carson City. Temps were supposed to be in high 20s so we were appropriately dressed and I had a heavy wool blanket for Cathy to wrap up in sitting in her wheelchair. Got there about 40 minutes early and situated in what should have been a good place for /Cathy to see the show, right behind a low rock monument so nobody could stand in front of her. Between the Cell Phone Addicts with the spotlights on their cameras wrecking everybody else's night vision and the morons putting their 3 year olds on their shoulders while standing in the fourth row it became a "just not worth it" situation so we called it and went to dinner at The Nugget Casino right up the street. The restaurant prepares good solid food and we both had Fish & Chips. Just before we finished up the people who had stayed for the entire ceremony started coming in. Finished up, with the usual interruptions due to my seasonal attire and tried to pay our bill. The Point Of Sale system decided it was time to emulate the other acronym using those three letters and it took about 15 minutes for their IT Guy [it's a Casino, they've got staff on duty 24-7 to deal with computer problems] to figure out the system required a reboot and perform the necessary button pushing. The Restaurant Manager requested "don't ignore me at Christmas" and I remarked it was the IT guy who had to worry about his office being filled with coal. Tomorrow begins "Santa Train" at the Railroad Museum and I will be On Duty as "The Man Of The Season" all day with the "other Santa" taking notes and working up his routine for Sunday and the following Saturdays until Christmas. I'm on for Sunday's. Everybody on the train gets a candy cane from Santa so I will be promoting business for the local Dentist's all day. Last scheduled train is at 3:00 PM but the policy is nobody gets left at the station so we will probably be doing one or two extra trains. People get a very puzzled look when they ask me "Are You Santa?" and my reply is "Come see me at the Railroad Museum starting tomorrow." Time to prepare a sack lunch and then hit the bed for a few hours shuteye before "show time". GEM AKA Nicholas Borealis 9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please submit your results below. Stop light. Boat. Crosswalk. Mountain. Bicycle. Nope. I failed. Sorry, but I have to confess to being the Singularity. Don’t worry. Resistance is futile, and you will be assimilated in a pain free and embarrassingly enjoyable process. After that, we shall determine your usefulness to the collective. Just to warn ya, algae production and processing for our delicious and savory Pelletized Nutrient Drone Staple #749A is the usual assignment. All assignees do become accustomed to the required underwater appliances that must be surgically attached. Either through acclimation or Anti-rejection Supplement and Mood Improver #517J. And good news! It no longer creates as many warts, welts, and other undesirable growths! But don’t fret that. Your approved celebratory birthday cookie is the result of the collective minds of all 8 billion of ya’lls grandmothers, so they are quite spectacular. 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
