puddle, sure hope that Silly ol' Beau comes home soon. He's probably just sowing some oats on a warm Summer's night.
A 19 month old toddler boy went missing at dusk tonight in the town in NH where Sweetie grew up. They found him 4 hours later and he's back with his Mom and Dad now. =Whew!=
Boy came home about a half hour after the prayer request. Longest that he's ever stayed away. Guess it might have been sooner if I hadn't gone looking (starting the car is a dog attractant, lol!)(Alas, you can get 'em to come, but refuse to get close enough to grab. . . .) He came up onto the porch, I tossed a dog biscuit near my feet, he came, gobbled it up, and before I could grab him, he rushed by me into the house. Phew!
As I was about to come back and post his return, discovered my phone line was officially OUT. While I was trubbleshooting, da boy went upstairs, and to bed. So I joined him.
Microsoft tech support is certainly erning thier $99. The tech spent 6 hours yesterday evening using remote control to work on the computer, and it's still not done. They're sending me a disk that will let them finish the job.
listener ~~ I'm just grateful that they're willing to put in the time and effort to fix what turned out to be a much bigger problem than appeared on the surface. At no extra charge. That $99 for premium service looked like a lot at first, but turns out to be cheap.
Thanks for your comments about my family scandal, everyone. I'm fine, but it does take a bit of adjusting. This comment from a canadian correspondent of mine:
"Lucky you. Not many people have the distinction of being able to claim a scandal in their lineage, not unless you’re a royal."
It's no reflection on me or my father; the parties responsible paid a considerable price, and everyone involved has long since passed away. But still pretty amazing to be able to winkle out the truth. Only a few years ago it would have been impossible.
Mah*Sweetie and I enjoyed a performance of Nunsense tonight. We loooove theatre when it's done well, and this got an immediate standing ovation! Sweet!

Thanks for the prayers, all: they worked, eh?!!
So glad the wandering one came home safe and sound!

ReplyDeleteAny sort of perk or certificate for such a long wait?
DeleteWow!

Gotta run; work at the hospital this weekend.
I missed something. Who is Clementine?!
ReplyDeleteClementine is puddle's new computer. She mentioned the name a couple of days back.
DeleteAlan, as regards taking all of this in, let there be no hurry. After all, it's been waiting to be taken in for quite a few years.
