That looks like fun!! I especially think the fact that you can't rearrange the cards in your hand is interesting. That's unusual for a game and I imagine it adds to the problem-solving aspects. What did you like about it?

I keep forgetting - the next co-miner game night will be Oct. 3. I think that was when the Farallones cruise that I stepped aside for others is taking place, so it even works out for me.

The food theme is "colors of autumn or fall favorites - whatever floats your boat!"

Hmm. I ended up not being overly in love with the roasted corn salad as a leftover but I do remember liking it well enough when it was fresh. That could be seen as fall colors, I think.

I wonder what duck duck go says to "fall colors salad"?

That hadn't occurred to me - lots of "fall salad plates, hahaha!

Oh, but this looks interesting to me.

> Thank you for sharing this with me. (my talk with S about what I wrote)

Of course. I wanted to write about it this morning but didn't get the chance. Then it didn't come up until that point in our messaging.

I went and looked for definitions of "retrospect", it's more the meanings that the root words suggest. I was using it more in place of "equanimical". It seemed like you understood anyway, you're just that good.

What happened in my head today felt like the biggest change yet. Maybe it's just a move of the spiral, maybe it's a difference.

>Turning away earlier gave me more rest last night and judging by my good mood and energy today,

I love you having improvements in your life. Whatever it takes, cArrot, I'll be happy for it to happen.

> It looks like it was a single episode on the Food Network in 2004

Surely not a cheap dvd to acquire from some sources...

> Was yours just lettuce and dressing?

Actually, there was some diced red bell pepper and tomato and TJ's bagged, shredded Parmesan cheese (oh, my that's good stuff --- in soup on salad, anywhere you can fathom having some cheese). The dresing comes from the same source and is called a Pasadena salad Though the produce and toppings are highly valued, the dressing is used incredibly sparingly, so I get to have it on any salad I want because there are always two or three packages waiting to be opened.

> How did you learn what you know about computing at levels like these?

Oganically. I build my own desktop machines, so there's research into what would make a good one. I also use Gentoo Linux which used to require a lot more work to install on a computer and requires one to learn at least a little bit to fine tune into a system that works for the individual. So often there's a bit of learning when building machine or installing/adjusting/maintaining its OS.

I've a general interest in things tech/computing - I pay attention when new info comes to my notice. People have brought problems to me, Sometimes they are new but I can figure it out and I learn for myself, too.

> When you're ready and want to, let me know how everything went tonight.

It went alright. Turned out he didn't have the user password(forgotten, the project had been sitting since December) but he hadn't set a root password. I was able to use the root account to reset the user account. The boot up process wasn't working correctly because it was complaining about errors in the process of mounting the storage drive that he had installed. I was able to straighten that out by editing the fstab to mount it properly and as a more usable directory name than the one that seemed to have been automatically added. We looked at his chosen media server "Plex" but I couldn't work out how to get it to see his files. He was going to fool with it some more and then explore other options.

That all sounds perfect. I got an avocado last night. Maybe a ham and cheese melt with avocado is the way to go...

>That makes sense! What kinds of fillings do you usually prefer?

I like a mix of meat and veggies and greens plus something to keep it moist and something to add some bite. I haven't made them in a bit, but I remember using things like very thinly sliced turkey breast and pastrami or salami and shredded carrots and spinach leaves and cream cheese and black pepper.

Ooh. I just came across a recipe for this one while trying to remember what else I've put in them. I seem to remember you ordering Reubens before.

> I hope that you can find a solution that works for you.(on the buggy browser issue)

Well, the system update is still compiling. I didn't look really, really closely at the list of items to be updated but Firefox, Thunderbird(Firefox-related mail client), and LibreOffice, all of which are BIG compile jobs as you might guess.

>I don't at all like the thought of you losing things (just because of how frustrating that is). I want you to have a smooth and easy life. : )

Thanks!

Hopefully I won't lose too much over time :)

I'm ashamed to say I haven't read many new books lately, but I really like Jodi Picoult. I actually just recently joined a book club, and our first book is When Breath Becomes Air, which sounds like a great read but will probably turn me into a crying mess.

Any good books that you can recommend?

Yeah, usually you can find it in the camping area at Walmart (freeze dried foods are popular for camping because they are so light). If not then Amazon has it too. It's worth trying for sure!

The White Dragon is the third book in the Dragonriders of Pern series. It's about a boy's growth into a man with his best Dragon friend (as many books are) set on another planet. It's not a YA book (although I was 14 when I read it); what I like the most about it is the use of dialogue and the world building. imo, just incredible. The series is so good I re-read it every year or two.
