“Feet got wet in a flood at the top of a hill” ??? Was this a geezer geyser spring? Did you find the biggest pothole nearby? Did the flood come from your water bottle (or maybe even worse)??? My poor hamster brain is struggling with this image!

That’s funny in a special kind of way. I only visit Wisconsin a few times a year, but often enough that I get peeved and sometimes take orders from friends for a “cheese run” People who have never lived in Wisconsin don’t get it. People who did appreciate my offer.

As a side note, this swap needs to be recognized when doing historical research. Keep in mind when events happened relative to when the Republicans and Democrats effectively swapped names. I can be really confused if I don’t note the era!

Hey @Uber or @Uber_Support August 28, 2023 I sent a message from your web site because my Uber account was locked. That message included a full description of the problem. The site told me to expect a reply in three business days. What is your new estimate for some response?

My wife is a retired LCSW/LISW. The required joke is now: Does your wife associate with therapists, or give therapy to associates?

Definitely hunt down the blogs by @MrDenny and @GFritchey. Keep in mind that with only a few exceptions, @PASSDataSummit is just thousands of friends that you haven’t met yet! Be sure to make time for vendors, especially @redgate and @Microsoft

Thanks to @cnn for confirming my long held belief that luggage comes in exactly two types. Carry on, and lost! To other diabetics who fly: never, EVER check medications you depend upon. Not at any time, not for any reason, not ever. apple.news/AJl_R4t7SRS2GGszt…

If DH considers you “rude” to foraging vendors, I will probably qualify as “uncivilized” I enjoy most vendors, especially if they have something valuable to add to the experience. If their intent is to “sell” without providing any value, they are lower life forms!

I thought about @BuckWoodyMSFT this morning and had a neat idea! Next time I make a mochacino I’m going to pause about three fourths of the way filling their cup to add a raw oyster. I bet they will be surprised and excited when they find Buck’s gift in their drink!

In a true HA situation involving ice cream a clean pocket knife is a vaild substitute. If you are uncertain about this, consult your Schwan’s driver!

So @HNTurtledove, what do you REALLY think??? Don't let them get you so riled up, they certainly aren't worth that much stress! Whoever modified that photo knows nothing about doing a good photo-editing job. They don't appear to know a whole lot about anything else either!

Congratulations! You are probably close to 15 Kg less than you weighed the last time we saw each other! Don't think that I won't abuse you though... I'll gleefully harass you as always! Keep it up sir, you do good work!

Wildman!

I'm not going to @SQLBits this year, but if I was then @BuckWoodyMSFT could ride on my lap with his emotional support animal riding on Buck's lap! With the surreal year that I've had, that would be a truly grand finale!

HALP!!!! I'm being attacked by raging squirrels! I just get the situation under control again and... Oooo, squirrel!

I edited a tl;dr down to: To borrow a line from MPHG: "I'm NOT dead yet!" Thanks to everyone for caring. I'm peddling as fast as I can and expect to return as @YetAnotherSQL@Noc.social by May. If Twitter still exists I'll probably return to it too.

I'm pretty sure that Grant keeps trying to find ways to forget/ignore me. I wonder if he'll ever find one that even kind of works. I'm pretty much the "bad penny" that way.

Which of the younger generations? I mean this new-fangled email thing isn't new enough for everyone???

I'm excited to announce that I'm now working for Kent Corporation! linkedin.com/company/kent-co… Both Kent Corporation and I still have great relationship with @InvoltaLLC and I recommend Involta as both employers and as service providers.

Darn you @LucyBledsoe !!! Now you have me waiting rather impatiently for March 7, 2023. As if I didn't have enough on my plate already!!!
