Smartphones and blog comments - problem?
I may have missed blogs on this change and apologies if so but it really is a little irritating.
Used to be you could only see the first 30 comments on a blog on a smartphone unless you went into full option (and eeny teeny print), well, not that many blogs go past 30 comments anyway. Not a huge problem.
Now it seems we can only see first few words of each comment - and that's not only me, Pat mentioned it on my last blog too.
It's a bit cynical of the programmers to assume we know what everyone's likely to say so don't need to see it
Maybe if those who prefer, or only, use smartphone, and have this issue, could leave comments, and if it seems there really are quite a few affected, we could ask pretty-please to go back to the luxury of 30 full comments?
(And hey, anyone else astonished that it is already Friday?)

Advice given - lay them right, you can walk over them for 30 years
Now, is that true? I think I must have been laying them wrong. Or perhaps I didn’t get the best quality in the first place. I do find after a few years they look a bit worn.
But is 30 years the aim, anyway? What if you want a change after, say, 10 years? Then half that hard work initially was for nothing.
I need more advice, I think. Anyone?

Too much paper down the pipe...
It must have been last year when I flushed too much paper (among other things) down the toilet and clogged the entire sewer pipe. I bought a 50 foot plumbing snake and lots of drain cleaning chemicals to get the pipe open again. Doing the work manually took a few hours but the job was done. A few weeks ago the plumbing back-up happened again. I tried for 30 minutes with the snake. Having no luck and not wanting to fight with it, we left Miami for the condo and put off the project for the following weekend.
I decided to rent a 75 foot power feed unit from Home Depot. This thing was pathetically slow and I got about 60 feet into the drain line and it was still clogged. Setting the power feed to retract the coil jammed the mechanism and it would not retract. A call to Home Depot and they told me to wrap the coil as best as I can. I had to pull the coil out by hand (with rubberized gloves) and at the end of the snake was a chunk of 'something' that I originally thought was a clog of hair! Close observation revealed it was thin long roots. There are no trees in the area where the underground pipes travel. I know the old drain pipes are made from clay/pottery in sections about 6 feet long and the joints were sealed with tar. Over the years, the ground settles and water seeps into the soil. That's what attracts roots to grown to the water source and enter the pipes usually cracking them if this goes on for any length of time. So, I knew the reason as the paper (and poo) snagged on it's way to Washington D.C.
Using a few feet of copper wire wrapping I was able to get the coil around the outside of the machine and back to the store. They were nice to allow more time for the rental and gave me another machine that had a power feed at least 10 times faster than the broken one. We got back to the project and this time I added a cutter head attachment that's designed to shave off roots inside the pipe. The company who hires out to clean drains with a drain auger is Roto-Rooter. This is similar only cheaper as I'm doing it myself.
Less than 30 minutes with the new machine cleaned the clog. I ran it back and forth several times to be sure to scrape away as much of the roots as possible.
This weekend I gave it the ultimate 'poo down the pipe' test and all went well.
No worries!

Is talking about our dead members of this blog land a deface in their memory?
When I am dead and gone: It will be an honor if you say a little prayer for me. Talk about me good or bad, (I hope not my shortcomings and mistakes) but anything good that I have done to humanity if any. With thousands of students that I taught in many Universities, I am sure, I am not all that bad. I am not perfect. I have done so many mistakes and I apologize for all of them.
So,
Please remember me and talk as much as you want about me. That is our ways, we catholic of honoring our dead. We have our cemetery, our altars where we put the memories, ashes and or reminiscence of our dead love ones, just to remember them. Say a little prayer because we believe that through prayers, we are saved from our sins and I beleive I have a lot of them.
So for anyone who shares the same belief, you will not deface me, if I die, pass on and say a little bit about me, good or bad. That will be my way of knowing that you care, at least to think of me and remember me.
Thanks all for your reads and or comment if any.
Note: Life is unpredictable, I can die tomorrow, or now, if and when that happens. I instructed my children to at least log on for me and let you all know that I passed on.
For the atheist who don't share the same belief, it is okay. It will be a pleasure for me if you will talk about me even resurrecting some of my writes and talk about it.
NOTE: all the famous athors of this civilized world, most of them all dead, we still talk about them, discuss all their ideas, does that mean we deface them? Heck no.
So please feel free to share me your opinion.
Thank you all.
I am sorry if bringing back the writes of those who passed on is taken as a defamation or defacing them. I beg to disagree. Or we would be defacing Dante, Shakespear, Keats, Byron, etc. etc.

The intelligentsia of USA knows it very well how to fix the bug. And they did it.
Last time they were to oust the Clinton thing and so they installed the corrupt software. They knew that this software has bugs but they had to install it.
Likewise they had to make another wrong choice because they were to get rid of the corrupt software. They hardly had any other option.
And hopefully someday they would be provided with a better choice.
how and when?

Oh, no........
....not THAT!
'Standing' apparently is a big issue in whether any court recognizes a given petition to consider a matter. For example, even though I am the truly GREAT Vierk, incarnate, the SCOTUS is unlikely to listen to me. Unfathomable, I know. And perhaps in spite of the growing hard evidence of a stolen election, it may not even listen to my sweetheart, Attorney Sidney long legs. Legs right up to THERE!
But we just now hear that the STATE of Texas formally is filing suit against several swing states, with the SCOTUS, for election irregularities, and vote disenfranchisement.
Now, this seems to be one petition to the nation's highest judicial body, that it can't ignore.
Be inaresting to see the comments of the few full syndromics here on CS, with this latest news.
Sort of pushes the matter into the realm of treason and sedition. As evidenced by, the modems and other parts of the Dumbminion vote machines, are produced by front organization of the Red Chinese CP. The plot thickens.
Biden crime family and China. Ya think? Shocking? Not surprising, though.

4th World Postal Services
I simply needed to return a shirt; here things are not quite so simple if you live in a small village.
A telephone call to the suppliers cost me 50 Brit pence a minute and after an automated press this, press that, Joy I finally had a human on the phone, I was given Item return instructions that felt like a United Nations briefing, I wrote notes and thought all was well.
Our tiny towns Post Room (office would be too kind) opens promptly at 9am, at 9:30 he opened the door with massive yawns that would make the grand canyon look like an ants toilet.
I requested a postage bag, No, he has none, but I could go to the big city if I wanted. After using language that would make a hardened prisoner cry like a baby he agreed to bring one the next day.
Next day, opening on time 45 mins late, alas no postage bags, he was not trained in postage bags yet.
I arranged an expedition, horses and supplies as well as a local guide and headed through the mountains to the bigger city, on arrival I was greeted like a foreign invader, but after conversing in the local dialect I was finally in line awaiting service.
I requested a postage bag, questioned as to my motives for the bag I could feel the bright light in my eyes as I was interrogated, my blood taken, DNA was probably taken too.
I took the bag outside as no parcel packing area was provided or permitted, placed the shirt and online payment receipt inside and returned to the line.
30 minutes later I was served, The address I was told was far too long and I had written outside the little boxes, My eyes now glowed red, my breath about to spew fire and brimstone, he relented.
I said I needed the cost of the postage to be placed inside the bag so I could be refunded by the Child Labour employing shirt manufacturer; this prompted a discussion between counters and members of the public and the result was that it was not possible, however some Senora behind me suggested I photograph the receipt, brilliant idea, this caused some sighs of derision amongst the yellow shirted staff, but I did as suggested sealed the bag and paid a whopping sum over, along with Gold, Frankincense and a bit of Myrrh for good measure.
Returning home after an overnight stay with some Nomads who were apparently going to the big city to buy camels I telephoned customer services In London who after some time said that I had not followed instructions and I may not be refunded the return postage, she was only 3 years old so I assumed she needed to go potty as the call ended.

"silent scream” lyrics
Twenty four and he believes for
Sure he's got it made
Fame is here for good and
Looks will never fade
He doesn't know
The game is never over 'till
The cards have all been played
Eighty three and still he feels
His best is yet to come
He believes that youth is
Wasted on the young
He's alone
The only dream he ever has
Is being with someone
Love you when your standing tall
But nobody knows you when your falling
All you have to do is call
But nobody ever hears the silent scream
Christmas came and went again
But still nobody came
Staring at her wedding photo in a frame
She's alone
We should hope the loss of memory
Helps to ease the pain
Memories, moments you recall
We should be remembered for the
Greatest of them all
You can't begin to live someone
Else's life
Or you're own will pass you by
Oh, who's to know
Maybe we can learn a thing or
Two from everyone
Sure he's got it made
Fame is here for good and
Looks will never fade
He doesn't know
The game is never over 'till
The cards have all been played
Eighty three and still he feels
His best is yet to come
He believes that youth is
Wasted on the young
He's alone
The only dream he ever has
Is being with someone
Love you when your standing tall
But nobody knows you when your falling
All you have to do is call
But nobody ever hears the silent scream
Christmas came and went again
But still nobody came
Staring at her wedding photo in a frame
She's alone
We should hope the loss of memory
Helps to ease the pain
Memories, moments you recall
We should be remembered for the
Greatest of them all
You can't begin to live someone
Else's life
Or you're own will pass you by
Oh, who's to know
Maybe we can learn a thing or
Two from everyone

Just got back from an incredible 3 week trip around Ireland. I finished chatting with an old friend on the phone and decided to get back to my exercise routine. 45 min workout left me exhausted but I still had some housework to do. I collected the kids clothes and was bending over loading the washing machine when it happened. I felt my stomach and my thighs flex and contract, quiver and then oooohhhhhh .. it happened!
It had never happened to me like that before.
Why did it happen? and more importantly how can I make it happen again.
