Thanks, Rj!
Yes, a lot of the media functions changed since my last time on Lit in 2009.
Technology - always moving forward, eh?
I appreciate the assist!!

Would love to hear the story about blackjack Pershing sometime.

Love that picture of Eddie Rickenbacker!

So, the story is when I was stationed at Ft Bliss, I had a squadron mate who I’d watch his dog when he’d go home. He lived in Dallas and would drive weekends sometimes. We became good friends and the girl he was dating at the time was a local girl.

Long story short, this girl introduced my future wife and I. Her grandfather was a butter bar Lieutenant on Black Jack Pershing’s staff! I have a copied picture I took from her memorabilia, of Black Jack and his whole staff, with her grandfather on the very end, hands on hips, totally not in military bearing. All of them in period uniform, campaign hats, and jodhpurs. Her grandfather went on to become a Major Gen during WWII…a contemporary and classmate of Patton and others at West Point.

I’ll post the pic when I get back home, if I can find it. It’s been a long time and may be on an old computer…hopefully I backed it up. It’s a very cool shot. I was looking for it online but couldn’t find it. This would have been the period right before the Great War when they were chasing Poncho Villa around the southwest.

It's been forever and a day! Hello again. I actually went back through my thread wondering if I was just remembering it wrong, but got bored with looking for our posts. I never found it, so I wasn't a hundred percent sure.

I search but only found this
https://forum.literotica.com/thread...at-this-moment.153604/page-2698#post-25140323

Search is kind of uneven.Sometimes I nostalgia search old posts with Byron and only find a few but there were tons of them.

Good morning (mostly) sleepy people. Have a terrific Tuesday.

 

[Lilianna23]

Anytime sweet lady

Goody! How much room do I get? We might need to add a wing onto your house.

 

[Lilianna23]

Yes you avoided the chase. I was making coffee.

Maybe today!

You can put me firmly in group 2! Well... maybe not shoot, but be strongly annoyed.

 

[Lilianna23]

Unfortunately, there is. It’s gross.

When we had a new one put in, the excavator told us to clean it 2x a year. Of course I forgot about it and it caused an issue.

Lesson learned!

I can't even access my septic without digging. The county instituted a rule that all septic systems must be inspected every 3 years. The last time ours was done, they installed some kind of access so that we would only have to dig down to it ( about 12") and not have to uncover the entire top of the tank. That was about 4 years ago. I'm a year overdue on my inspection.

 

[Lilianna23]

I'm not pushing myself. Just testing the boundaries. I definitely don't want to go through that again.

Just be careful, Impy!

 

[Lilianna23]

You think I am joking about airline flights.... I am not

As soon as my project is done, there will be plenty of room for you! I'm currently squatting in one guest room. The other is full of stuff from the rooms being worked on.

Nobody showed AGAIN today! I called the contractor and totally lost my shit on him in a VM. I told him I was sick of the delays, no-shows, and that I did not feel valued as the customer. I also threatened to terminate the contract. He called me back. Said he will be here tomorrow (today, now) with tile and 3 guys. I'm not holding my breath.

 

[Lilianna23]

We will love her like we love you

Actually, probably more!

 

[Lilianna23]

All ya gotta do about them-there household Boy Jobs is ask.


Dr. Tyler does.

Will do, Wat!

 

[Lilianna23]

Morning all...
Getting ready to head out the door. Thought I'd pop in quick and wish everyone a Happy Monday.

Also, a warm welcome (in advance) to Mrs. Wonderer67
(in case I miss her inaugural post)

I hope your procedure went well and you're now resting comfortably. Preferably with some chemical enhancements on board for pain and/or relaxation.

 

[Lilianna23]

Just a quick google search: https://filterking.com/hvac-filters/merv-ratings

You have some flexibility in terms of what you choose. I find that in general, middle of the road here is a good compromise.

Thanks, DKA! I bookmarked it for future reference.

 

[Lilianna23]

I'm Sorry. (New here, I'm just picking up on some of the details about a few of you...)

Division of labor is a wonderful thing, until you have to do it all. I know there are A LOT of things I'd be lost doing without my wife.

I do try to include her on some tasks so she has an idea of what gets done maintenance wise, but I don't think she absorbs it.
(For the record, she's WAY smarter than me, so I'm not implying anything there. It's just her aptitude exists in other areas...)

Thank you. I thought I was fairly aware of most of the things around the house. My husband was mostly blind and profoundly hard of hearing so I felt like I was more knowledgeable than most. However, I'm also perhaps a wee bit type-A and feel like I need to have a handle on everything. Not knowing makes me kind of crazy(er).

 

[Lilianna23]

I dont want to not do them... I just need someone that is good at stuff I am not.... and will help me manage it.... or it least give me an atta girl and a slap on the ass for a job well done

I want that, too, K!

I know I am forgetting a few others. But chime in so we know ya.

Thanks for your service to this great nation. And to all of my brothers and sisters who served.

In the UK it’s known as Remembrance
Day. And if anyone has ever served their nation, a salute to you.

I think Veterans and current military need acknowledgement every single day of the year! Our country would not exist without you! Thank you so much for your service! I hope you all had a good Veteran's Day.

 

[Lilianna23]

We could probably volunteer a virtual slap on the..., if needed! LOL.

Kidding aside, there have got to be books for some of this stuff. The "Operators and Owners" manuals cover some of it. The problem is some of this stuff is getting more complicated, and they don't always give the 'secret decoder ring' away in the manual. So, don't feel bad about having to call someone. Even I have to call them sometimes.

For example. When the water heater quit, it was a safety sensor. Reading the manual told me the flashing light meant this sensor tripped. Found a sensor locally, and replaced it. Still flashing. I had to call my HVAC guy, who told me over the phone how to reset the controller. That information is NOT in the manual anywhere. Flip the power switch off, wait 20 seconds, then flip it on, and turn the temperature setting knob Hi-Low-Hi-Low-... 7 times. Do it twice.
They make this stuff hard to find, or intentionally hidden sometimes.

It's been snowing for an hour now...

I do know my HVAC guys!

 

[Lilianna23]

Good way of dieting too

I'm NOT giving away the ice cream!

Yesterday was our Remembrance Sunday so a long one for me as I arrange our services recognising those who have served but particularly our fallen. The day started with a church service at 09.45 then at our war memorial for wreath laying and two minutes silence. We had about sixty people there. Wreaths were laid by a veteran, our primary school kids and our Local Council

I had time for lunch then we had our sunset service at the Quay in the village. It was a beautiful evening and we were led by a junior piper about 13 years old. The names of our fallen were read by the head of our life boat service and the beacon was lit at sunset by our junior football team. It was another good turn out with about fifty people present.

Now I can relax it’s been a long week.

That's a lot of work organizing both services, G. I hope your community recognizes your efforts and doesn't take you for granted. The pictures are wonderful!

 

[Lilianna23]

Omg.... snow?

Yeah. I am sort of afraid of things that can blow up and kill me

Ditto, girl!

 

[Lilianna23]

We have a memorial day service with an honor guard every year in our village. The service organization i belong too buys and places flags on the graves.

That's wonderful, K!

 

[Lilianna23]

Miss k. You need a house boy!!

Me, too! You volunteering, W? You'll be busy running between our houses!
