GREAT news: plumber just left and replaced a 19 inch metalic hose and the leak is no more

S-T-R-A-N-G-E
Last night on chat, I suffered a power outage. Computer, TV and all my lights. I knew I had paid my bill. I lit a match and made my way to the front door, and went outside. My entire neighborhood was dark and many of of neighbors were outside.
It only lasted a few minutes, then everything came back on. Then it happened again about midnight. This time it lasted till 5:00am when all my lights came on waking me up. I arose and came into my den and saw my computer light was out. I hit the keyboard key button but nothing happened. I pushed the On button the computer but nothing happened. Then I noticed the USB button on my modem wasn't On. The other four lights were on but not the ENET. I rechecked connections. Then I noticed my keyboard wasn't lit up hence my mouse wasn't working. I figured the blackout killed either my mouse, keyboard or ENET connection. I unplugged everything and replugged everything back in.
All of a sudden, the ENET light came on, the keyboard light was on hence the mouse worked. Then I noticed my computer date and time was off. The time was set for 2:00pm and the date was 1969. I corrected everything using the System's Preferences panel.
Everything works fine now. POWER OUTAGES SUCK.

Nursing home called last night. Mom had pulled out her feeding tube AGAIN so they sent her back to the hospital.
A precursor of what I have to look forward to when mom returns home. Life has it's ups and downs but it's NEVER boring.

I couldn't figure out why I had a migraine Monday and Tuesday until a few hours ago. Then my brain activated and I recalled that I hadn't eaten lately. I had the money, I had the time but somehow I was caught up in the moment. I made up for it today and ate two meals..one more than our archivist eats. At the moment, no migraine WOO HOO
Sometimes, I'm reminded a moment is all we really have. There is no future. There is no past. There is only now.

You didn't eat for two DAYS? God, Wolfie! That worries me. 
Maybe I should start sending you an email reminder three times a day?

As I see it, Mac, all we have is the past as we retain it it in our short-term and long-term memory. There is no present because it has no duration, being only the boundary between the unborn future and the dead (but remembered) past.
[I admit that this poses a philosophical question. If the present has no duration, when does anything happen and when do we do anything ? Frankly, I don't know the answer to that one. ] :-\

I used to wonder how to measure the duration of the present. It is an interesting question.Bagoas (imported) wrote: Fri May 09, 2008 6:54 pm As I see it, Mac, all we have is the past as we retain it it in our short-term and long-term memory.

Measure the duration of the present? Interesting hypothetical idea. Might take a greater mind than ours. Somebody like Jesus, maybe. Our Jesus, not the 2,000 year old one. At least, I don't think our Jesus is that old.
By the way, that power outage I mentioned a few posts back, had reset my VCR. I should have checked it but forgot. Two videotapes later I was perplexed why I was only getting 2 hrs 30 minutes out of a six hour tape. Then I recalled the blackout. It had reset the VCR back to SP instead SLP.
Damn technology
I had breakfast this morning, just my cooking (ugh) and orange chicken & egg rolls for dinner - yummy.

RATS. My TV died last night. Picture tube I think. I have two other TV sets, one in the living room and one in mom's room.
All I have to do now is: (1) move my VCR to the living room TV and hook it up like Ken_SD showed me. Only disadvantage of that will be I can't watch TV and type since my computer is in the den. (2) Talk Ken and Josh into coming up here in the future to move the living room TV to my den and hook it up to the VCR. I'll probably need help to move the dead TV to the trash can too.
Yo Ken
