Just be thankful hes around to need help, and your childhood home still is in the family.

I didn't sign up for this, but my dad is having trouble getting around at home after knee surgery so I'm staying over to help move him around. I'm sleeping in my childhood bedroom for the first time in over 30 years. It's kind of freaking me out. There are more than a few latent anxieties coming out to play.

lol

so i wanted to add a comment to something i posted earlier.   Since i didn't remember which room i was searching thru several. By the time i might have found the right room i almost forgot what i was going to comment on anyway so gave up .. lol   . ( was about the i2p out-port.. i did go read about it.  Seems odd to me, too 'slick' marketing always makes me question things..  but if its i2P protocol i guess its safe enough. )

:(

Well it's more complicated than that. In addition to recovering from surgery he's also senile and doesn't really comprehend the processes of getting up and around. .

The rare time when i'm forced to use a camera in meetings, i will replace my background with the dining hall from the serenity. It was partially a test, to see who recognized it. 

I also used to replace my face with Tony stark back in 2020.  But what i was using back then to do real time face swap is broke, and not worth me trying to figure out what is wrong. ( older python code, im sure its a library that has changed and borked things. )

Terminal?

Oh.

Sorry to hear that.   Try to enjoy the time you have left together.

It turns out her case is so fucked up it is in the newspapers. Apparently local communist healthcare does not want to take her.

So doing cleaning and purging ( which i have mentioned before ).

Ran across a small Coleman drink cooler.  "hey i can use this in the jeep"  opened it up to start cleaning it and it has a sheet in Japanese, except at top "for Japanese consumers only"

Does that mean im not allowed to use this thing?   lol  

And speaking of childhood  homes.  ( i know this could fall in the other room but the subject was here.. )

Just heard from my sister the house we lived in while i was in HS/College.   back in the area id like to move to again, is up for sale.

Aside from being a bit much for me ( around 400k ) the idiots who bought if after my mother moved out closed off the basement, and filled in the 'stream' in the front yard. ( and put a stupid ass concrete stair case up to the main level )  i cant imagine the water problems it has now.

Since its hard to explain. picture below

The entire front of the house in the basement was open. there was a deck there on the 1st floor with a staircase down to the main level that opened at the garage. The grass hill, was glass doorways into the basement and a window.  the 1st level, was a deck, and it was open too.  not just a 'door and a window;' Where they put that awful brick staircase was a window in the basement. 

The driveway. had a water drain under it perhaps 10 feet from where that car is. and a creek bed there in the front yard to carry water down hill.  ( wont say a real creek, it was dry most of the summer, but spring and fall we had running water ).  To the left of the driveway we had a parking area, it wasn't flat land there ( again, water reasons ). And they took out a tree that was there i the front yard too.  

They took out the fireplace too as we had a chimney we put 2/3 of the way up that side of the roof, inline with that stupid door way ( original door was more where that window is on the right ).  We did that ourselves. THAT was a nightmare..  ended up tying ourselves to the deck out back so we wouldn't fall off.  the size is misleading, that is a 2.5 story tall roof as there is a full 2nd level + an attic there that comes out the back side  and was  ~ 45 degrees.  The living room area had a vaulted ceiling sort of thing, so that was also fun building the enclosure that was 2 stories tall..  The front roof was meant for solar, but the dude who originally built the house didn't use his compass... doh.

We also finished the basement.  we did a lot of work on that place over the years until dad got sick.

Oh and it was wood siding in a dark blue-grey ( go figure..lol ), not brick.  ( not end of wold on that, but the rest of it.  they ruined the place )

Been trying to find a picture of the front from back when we were there.  ( we moved there in 82.. we all lived there until we moved out on our own.  After dad died in 2007, mom moved out as it was too much for her and we all could not be there all the time )

Only one i could find that shows the outside of the house so far is from the side looking out toward the driveway. ( plenty inside, or the back yard ) Its amazing how empty it was back then, just fields for miles, no houses at all to be seen. No street lights, no traffic.. just crops and fields and animals. Really miss that sort of thing.more than one can imagine.  Even to the sides, was acres between houses.  Until dad gave my uncle 1/2 the lot to build a house on, early 2000's, but family is different.  That is why the fence is there in that image.  Put it up when mom left. ( he moved about about a year ago.. area is starting to build up..  no one that lived there for long wants to be there now )

Ok done rambling about the house. You can return to your regularly scheduled program.

mother nature : "so i cooled it down a little and its overcast, go ahead and walk your dog." 1/2 thru the walk "hahahahaha just kidding !" pour!
