Mmm yummy! At least you had a matched pair of socks to be eaten.

Wow, you have experience with it. How did the scarf fare? I kind of expected a photo of it, but am not mad that there isn’t one.

No, it might be more gross. I don’t think I have anyone who would eat a scarf.

I have a new band name: Gooey Scarf. It did come about organically and spontaneously, but you don’t want to know the context.

You win the internet today (I also can’t unsee that explanation). Congratulations.

Stunning!

My iPad does have a hardware failure of some kind (only took 2 visits to figure that out), so I guess I should get an older iPad mini or something as a backup for the future. I want to figure out how best to recycle mine.

I saw Maine National Guard and Pennsylvania DOT trucks trucking snow away in RI today. It’s a good thing they are here, it’s just so odd to see.

Welcome to blowing peoples minds. Glad you’re able to do that, though. I guess they expect everyone to defy them.

If I had a backup device (I don’t have a phone or a computer I can use for this stuff), I’d be okay. I haven’t been able to pay my insurance , check EOBs, order cat litter, etc for a week. Now I have my nice new system mostly running, but can’t get at my passwords, and not everything is working.

They plugged it into a laptop that wasn’t plugged in, and surprise, it wouldn’t charge. Then a wall outlet - same. They pronounced it a port failure, which it had no symptoms of. I came home: it charges fine. Their outlet or cable are bad! I have to go back, I guess, grrr. That was my whole Sunday.

I have my nice new iPad (I have no idea what improvements there are on the 11 compared to my 6), BUT wow my first bad Genius Bar experience. My old iPad wouldn’t try to boot there. It boot loops at home, but that uses so much power that I can’t keep it charged. (1/2)

Gotta make up a good story about winning against the bad guy.

Sounds like laparoscopic then? That part is good!

He looks so sweet!

Ooooh I didn’t know you got one! He looks so much like Statler. Adorable!!

you don't say if the pork and beans solution worked....

Gorgeous! It looked like a white sheet of paper here for much of the day.

we'd be better off if she were on the job. And I'd be better off with a Macoun at the moment.

0 progress on my new iPad. I actually got an Apple refurb that was inoperable, to my surprise. I ordered 2nd one, guaranteed tomorrow (in time for my appt at the Apple Store) - later quietly changed to late Monday. Um. This should not be so difficult! I have now purchased THREE and will return 2.

I'm jealous of this part

Thinking of you today - may everything go smoothly and swiftly. Hopefully you'll be comfortable, home, and recuperating before you know it. I'll be around if you need anything!

Good luck with that. I recommend shaking up your Gatorade flavors.

fingers crossed! I can't get to a store until Sunday - not sure if everything is on iCloud, but a lot is.

Thanks, me too. Hopefully without much data loss. Up since 4am trying to force update it.

all those legacy apps running on older iOS... hopefully I can get a spot at the Apple store soon after getting new one. I hope they can even deliver it in this unprecedented snow. Driveway is now narrow and will be icy. Deliveries have been delayed for days - even USPS hasn't delivered since Sat.

Amazing time for my iPad to have what looks like hardware failure - I don't have a phone&this is my control center. Calendar, communications, meetings, notes... all inaccessible. I don't even know what apps I should be checking for web versions. A new refurb will be here Friday, but I need the old.

Me either. It’s all I’ve been doing and isn’t enough. I kind of need to allow vehicles into my driveway and get around the farm, but am considering giving up on doing a great job at any of that.

Adorable! Our barn cats always look at us like “what made you decide to dump all this white stuff all over the place?!”

We are getting a little more snow tomorrow & Thursday. Then the threat of 12-17” more on Tuesday. Nothing will be passable here if all of that happens… Plus it will be raining or thawing and then freezing. The barely wide enough to use driveway with 4’ high sides will be a skating rink.
