Me too. Some times it hits harder than others

Almost 8p. Supposed to get a little more snow in an hour. And then, tomorrow it's supposed to rain. That's going to just suck.

Good morning 3 AMrs!
I hope all of your day starts better than mine! Granted, my woes are minor, so I shouldn't be bitchin'

They aren't minor to you!

 

[Lilianna23]

Unfortunately very true as my late wife last words were love you!

 

[Lilianna23]

Really ? Oh please tell

How well you know me!

 

[Lilianna23]

Good morning denizens of the diner. Up at 430 thanks to old dog. Oh well naps are good.

My thoughts on AI, 3D printing goo, and getting into mischief when younger are;
AI like many technology shifts can be good or evil. It depends on us humans as we all know too well. If it helps a sleep deprived ER staff make life saving decisions faster, I am for AI.

The same for 3D printing as making something needed medically quicker I am for it. But if used to make an untraceable gun. . . No. Again it’s up to us humans.

And remembering my younger days and mischief , well that’s for another post

You can't just leave us hanging!! Fess up!

You have no idea how that hit me this morning....we're both still here, but life is throwing us some curve balls...hitting them...

 

[Lilianna23]

No I. Never got good at that i should try again I suppose. It's a art form to achieve that perfect flaky crust. Hats off to the artists

My SIL is an expert! I work the dough too much.

I told my friend that i wished ivan could talk (dog) so he could tell le what he was thinking...my friend saod oh i dont he knows too much and has seen some stuff
I cracked up

Oh, gosh, yes! Our animals see and hear everything!!

 

[Lilianna23]

I am getting better at them pumpkin and custard specifically
My trick is to bake on a heated cookie sheet so the bottom crust bakes and doesnt get soggy

That's a great idea!

 

[Lilianna23]

That was animatronics and models though; not AI

Scary scene!

 

[Lilianna23]

You sound like a trip

Oh, you don't know the half of it!

 

[Lilianna23]

Understood, message received loud and clear
I'm here for the cheesecake!

I make all kinds. My favorite is a black forest. Minis:

We are ice city here. Lots of fun trying to do a 90 degree turn into my garage off the alley on ruts of deep ice.

Ooof... that sucks

 

[Greylag]

A lot of the ones I know are...

Of course I don't know ALL of them. So there is that going for you.

Hmmmm that doesn’t sound like a ringing endorsement of my sanity lol

A tourniquet will help. A young guy selling Cutco was demonstrating how a siccors would cut a penny. The scissors slipped of the penny and he cut his finger pretty bad. I had to put a tourniquet on it to stop the bleeding.

I have several cutco and find the very useful. I have my grandmothers original carving set. I also really enjoy those scissors. My most used cutco. I forget the name of it but a serrated knife for slicing tomatoes is only used for that. Sharp like the day it arrived. I have a long carving version of that one too. Had to cut many chicken in half before I figured out how to keep the fingertip of my right ring finger out so the fingerprint wouldn’t get pinched between the handles. It would leave a painful little blood blister. Most of my sharp knives are the vintage Chicago cutlery. I have my dad’s cutco filet knife and an unknown brand of one. I wish I got to use those more often.

I hope crazy brits is not a generic term!

Not at all. First off, I love everything about people from the British Isles! The drinking, the culture, the accents.

I am a bit of an Anglophile!

My one friend is from Essex and sounds exactly like it. “It’s proper mad, innit, bruv?”

My friend is also from the London area, but he sounds like an English gangster (think Jason Stratham ) although he’s the nicest guy. Just very direct and, in your face and. Wants to get cracking on everything - let’s go!

They both enjoy the drink and they are free with saying fuck, calling someone who’s incompetent a a fucking cunt (pretty different meaning in America). I need this to say, it’s been a little bit crazy and fun.

But we’re also getting a lot of work done.

I love the Brit culture as well. Ireland too. sometimes I think I was born in the wrong part of the world.

 

[Wonderer67]

We’re getting pretty significant lake effects now in Toronto. That’s pretty unusual… Usually the southern and eastern Shores of the lakes get the lake effect. But a strong southerly wind is bringing all the precipitation from the south and so we’re getting hit with something like 12 to 18 inches of snow this morning.

People from Toronto don’t care. It’s kind of business as usual. There’s a tunnel network that runs underneath most of the center city so everyone just walks.

Kind of fun and interesting.

I feel the same way.. The music, the culture, the pubs.
