There, fixed that for you.
Our cat (avatar <-- see left) decided that it would be nice to be on her queen bed. You know, the one that comes complete with two humans to keep her all snuggly and warm.

Not where I am.There, fixed that for you.
Well here's the latest update and some hope perhaps?I've decided I don't want to go on a Titanic Sight Seeing sub. If condolences are in order I'll offer them.Listened to a sub expert who said "the sub is an experimental vehicle, not even made out of steel, but fiberglass. I'd never go on it." The report on NPR said that you walk into this adventure with eyes wide open, taking your life in your hands, death is mentioned 3 times on the first page of the disclaimer, in a laundry list of ways you can die. A comparison was made with the space shuttle where it goes from 1 atmosphere to 0 atmospheres, this sub goes from 1 to 400. I'll fess up, never ever did I consider this.

Missing Titanic tourist sub: Everything we know so far, from who's on board to when it disappeared
The Titan submersible went missing less than two hours after setting out for an eight-day tourist expedition to the Titanic wreck near Newfoundland.www.insider.com
Thanks for the tipTooth-ache can be agonising; I remember suffering from occasional (and excruciating) pain from an impacted wisdom tooth (subsequently removed in an operation).
Cloves, and clove oil are excellent for alleviating (not curing) the pain of tooth-ache.
However, for a more permanent remedy, I would recommend that you pay a visit to your dentist.
Can't believe it's only 43 minutes awayNot where I am.
Where I am, it is the summer solstice, very much so.
The dentist might be a good option before it turns into a medical crisis. 🤔I'm at work with a nasty toothache that's been on and off for a week, and is the result of my not going to the dentist for years. I have some high level pain killers which ironically make me feel nothing at all except the pain. How is it that my arms and legs can be completely numb yet my tooth pain is more evident than ever. Sick cruel world.
I was imagining Orca launches itself onto deck, tips boat, eats passengers.Whoa - the uprising looks to be spreading... Orca rams boat in Shetland

I have experienced mosquitoes biting through clothing that I had thought was more than adequately thick.Insufferable mosquitoes. They’re really bad this year, and they’ll bite through clothing if they’re not thick enough.
I hate this time of year. Hot, can't sleep, uncomfortable all day (and look ridiculous in shorts), flies and other insects attacking me, headaches, Met office issuing health warnings due to the heat and then TV weather men saying "good" weather.... I could go on. No, not a summer person at all. Have always hated it.I love this time of year.
Well, each of us are different.I hate this time of year. Hot, can't sleep, uncomfortable all day (and look ridiculous in shorts), flies and other insects attacking me, headaches, Met office issuing health warnings due to the heat and then TV weather men saying "good" weather.... I could go on. No, not a summer person at all. Have always hated it.
Actually, to my mind, for a musician, wearing black pants and a white shirt is a classic combo, and will always look well.I don't like the fact that it's 100 degrees here (and in a lot of other places). Wearing black pants at my gig last night was NOT a good idea—at least I had a white shirt...

It’s sad, but from what I read incredibly dangerous what they were doing. I mean submarines are pretty dangerous at the best of times. But an experimental craft at those depths? Madness it was ever offered to the public.So the inevitable result happened, what we all expected.
Sub imploded
Seems the banging wasn't from the sub after all. Condolences to all affected.
Meanwhile last week several hundred people drowned in the Mediterranean as well.
Totally agree. I don't think I'd even get in it on dry land. The thought of being locked in terrifies me. Very sad though.It’s sad, but from what I read incredibly dangerous what they were doing.

Personally I think the story got far too much coverage. Some rich people made reckless decisions and spent a fortune.Totally agree. I don't think I'd even get in it on dry land. The thought of being locked in terrifies me. Very sad though.
