In reply to nicky. I think that's what happens most places. Very sad.

What are Twitters terms exactly? I do not do Twitter, so I’m ignorant/

Lovely video of the beagle, I’d take it any day (beagles are lovely dogs to start with anyway). If that girl would not have ‘found’ it, it would probably have been euthanised. At least that is what happens here. If after (I think it is) 2 or 3 months there are no ‘takers’, it is the end of the road.

I’m not optimistic about the raccoon. If it was caught under that tree, enough to prevent it from escaping, a lot of muscle tissue would have been crushed, releasing a lot of myoglobin. Myoglobin, especially in the amounts released after these kind of crush injuries, compromises the kidneys. I fear our raccoon would have died later of kidney failure. Sorry to be the party pooper (I just hope the physiology/kidneys of raccoons may be different from the human one).

Yeah, I pay a six-monthly fee to Adobe so I can translate documents to MS Word and read handwriting (that bit hardly ever works). I managed to get Office 2013 outright, but it’s about time I upgraded, and I’m dreading it.

I will, of course, report what Fox says about Flynn. I’ve already got a tweet from Ann German where the WH is saying he only worked for them for 25 days, and he worked for Obama etc. Trying to distance themselves, and blame Obama!

Re. Flynn, please let us know the different takes. I think you are the only FOX viewer here…at least the only liberal FOX viewer. The WH is already spinning it as “we’re relieved”. Hilarious. I don’t twitter, but I’ll be looking forward to Trump’s inevitable Saturday night twitter-mental-miasma.

Yes, I really hate the way Microsoft is also forcing the licensing of new software; making users pay monthly is lame. Adobe is doing the same thing; I pay $10/month for two computers w/ Photoshop. The trend is you can’t buy software outright anymore, you have to rent it like cable or internet.

With our internet neutrality being dissolved, we consumers in the US will keep paying more and more and more for the same or worse.

Sarcasm:
Unfettered capitalism is proven to be empirically sound; so many studies have found it to be so. Trickle-down got me a yacht and I only work part time! The rest of the world is soooo stooopid not to embrace America’s republican economic model. It’s the type of plan that makes one tired of winning.

In reply to Lee Knuth. We don't all talk quite that bad. I don't think so anyway! I think of that as the West Auckland accent, which is the NZ equivalent of a London East Enders accent.

I upgraded both computers to Windows 10 in March. The PC was fine, but the laptop threw a wobbly, but was fine once I got it installed. The latest is a major update, not the original upgrade, and took just as long on the PC, but once again the laptop threw a wobbly. Now that I’ve finally got it done, it’s working fine again, but I really don’t like the way they force you to use new software. e,g, I really like Windows Photo Gallery, but Windows 10 simply will not allow you to download it anymore.

Cows are funny. They’re really curious, but easily scared too.

I’ve only just heard about Flynn and haven’t had a chance to find out about it yet. I’m looking forward to the different takes on Fox and CNN!

Thanks for the video explaining NZ’s pronunciation. Loved it.
