Thank you Paulo! I know now EXACTLY what to get certain friends for Christmas! ?

And we're all glad you came out of those times Dave!

How's this? Matches the theme AND should make a Wibbles smile! ?

Obviously Bob didn't finish reading all of page 49! ?

Subtle intellectual nuances entertain Paulo!

Back at ya!

Still using these Ed? ?

Actually on-topic, I've been getting those new LIFX bulbs (one per month) until I now have four in my bedroom/office (one on the ceiling and the others in three different corners). Using an app on my phone I have them set to softly come on in the morning with a warm color, ramp up to fully on at the "coldest" (i.e., highest frequency) color during the work day, then slowly dim (at a warmer color) from around 8:30 pm until 10:30 pm when the three in the corners go out. When I go to bed I just turn off the last one and it's pretty much completely dark! This has really helped my sleep patterns. Sure, they can do colors and party tricks (like strobing or syncing to music), but I'm really happy with them just as white bulb replacements. I also have recently found that they have an SDK and a lively app development community, so I might just make my own app to control them for my phone. Cool! ?

My buddy August (who plays the Tommy Shaw roll in Dennis DeYoung's band) is in a new venture. Sounds good to me! ?

Man! I was having a bad spelling day yesterday!

I saw why. *Ewww!*

Oops! ?

I'm going to save time and just delete my post upon submission.

Straw? No, too stupid a fad. I put soot on warts! (One of the longest palindromes I know of. Right up there with "A man, a plan, a canal: Panama!")

I can't even guess how many times Wibbles has probably watched that video. My guess is that he made a loop of it! ?

As I just replied in a PM to Bob, I started this in the late 80's then added other tools (from varying levels of clinical reputation - lol). So, whatever the costs were, I'm sure they have changed. The main thing is this: Not all of the perceived damage is permanent and maybe all of it can be corrected. My biggest beef with "official" medical community is when they make offhand comments to their patients like "You'll probably have to live with hearing loss for the rest of your life." This is really a very effective form of hypnosis where a suggestible subject absorbs a statement they take as fact from a medical professional that they've been conditioned to believe. I was shown many examples of this in College.

Part Weeble, part Northfolk and all Wibbles! ?

Manufacturer's defect? ? Maybe start deducting the extra electrical costs from her allowance?
