Hey, turn. I saw earlier how well your boys are doing. That's awesome. My kids are doing well - my son and his wife are expecting a second daughter in November. Elder daughter is dating a great guy and I'm hoping she doesn't fuck it up. Younger daughter and her boyfriend are still in Brooklyn.

I imagine there is some history behind that comment.

Oh, yeah. She's a wonderful girl and she'll make a wonderful wife and mother if she can stop sabotaging herself. This guy seems very promising.

I am OLD, turn! Granddaughter is three and a half - smart, cute, and confident. I'm so proud of what good parents my son and daughter-in-law are.

you're welcome. There is more I need to work on. Maybe over the next few weeks, as I am taking some time off, and have to see how the new computer works. (Old one is flaky, and 4 years old)

There will always be more to work on and you’re very good at this. Better I would say by far than some other bloggers ha

For someone who knows a little HTML (or a lot), it is even possible to embed a video

It helps to use existing frameworks and software. ASP.NET MVC generates a lot of the "scaffolding" for these pages. summernote is the editor.
And since MVC uses bootstrap.js, I get mobile version with no extra work.

Good night you guys
Time to finish my chores then get cleaned up and settled in for the evening. At least there are no more Dem conventions to force myself to watch. We live in some changing times indeed, who knows what is coming next, and don’t say earthquakes lol

Embedding the video is basically opening the code view of your reply, in youtube copying the embed code (share, click on Embed, and copy) and pasting at a good place, like the end.
But don't try if you aren't comfortable.

Watched Top Gun tonight for the first time since I saw it in the theaters. It's corny, but the air sequences are cool.
When oldest boy was a baby some telemarketer or something called. He was screaming bloody murder (which he did most of the time) and the chirpy woman asked "how are you?" I said "How am I? This is how I am" and held the phone up to him.

We had a very yappy 5 lb poodle and I really wanted to hold the phone up to her for telemarketers but she never cooperated.

I still love the suggestion to use the whispered response: "I told you not to call me on this number. I'll call you back after I've disposed of the body."

The ex and I would pretend he was abusing me. I would whisper to the telemarketer, "Oh my God, he heard me, I have to go!"

Recently, I got a call on my cell phone from an area code where I can get calls that are important.
I called back and it said "Social Security Fraud Investigators", which would NOT be what I expected. I noticed their bullshit voicemail came in, and said I'd listen to the voicemail and call back.
I reported the number to Social Security. I will guess it no longer works.

I had a creepy call, this morning, from someone pretending to be Social Security too. I wish I would have written down the number and reported it too.
