What are you doing?

[Cooking Goddess]

Godspeed, Munky. Looking forward to your report from the homefront after you get your DH settled in and you catch your breath.

 

[Cheryl J]

+1 to what CG said....check in when you get a chance, Munky Badger! And....Sophie is sure a cutie.

 

[LPBeier]

Munky, I am chiming in a bit late but I hope everything as gone smoothly for you and your family today.

 

[Addie]

I once heard a person remark about how amazing it was the things folks do for the people they love.

No it is not! It is the normal behavior we all display for those we love and for those we see that need our help.

Waiting for Comcast to arrive and switch us over from Verizon.

 

[Dawgluver]

Watching anxiously for my new Dyson Absolute to arrive. Costco website was down, so I couldn't get ETA. Took Beagle out, and it's here! My Eureka Boss is too heavy and unwieldly, this little vac is much lighter. It's charging now, but when I test-drove it, it's very powerful. Pricey as all get-out, but Costco had a $110 off coupon.

 

[dragnlaw]

Congrats Dawgluver. Learn to think of it this way... Price is relative to the ease of use, job done, back ache dispelled, annoyance banished.

Could probably think of a few more if I tried hard enough.

 

[dragnlaw]

(don't know why it didn't come thru before... sigh, sort of ruins the message doesn't it?!)

 

[Dawgluver]

Thanks, dragn! I see your gif now! Very true. I've been excessively cheap all my life. Now I'm old and cheap. (Hm. Rephrasing. I've been a cheapskate all my life. Not cheap.)

There's more attachments to this thing than an autobody shop. There will be somewhat of a learning curve, I'm sure. First thing I did after plugging it in was drop it on the floor, which let out all the dust I'd just vacuumed up during the test drive.

First thing I did after plugging it in was drop it on the floor,.

LOL... I know the feeling! I brought home my repaired vacuum after much hemming and hawing about whether or not to even fix it. I did... and immediately dropped it down the staircase breaking the handle.

It has been several years and wire changed once, but the handle is a piece of pvc white water pipe with several strands of picture wire threaded thru. Works fine as long as you don't pinch the side of your hand when you carry it. (Nasty and bloody pinch, but you only do it once.)

 

[Chef Munky]

And He's Home.

Were thrilled that he's home. The dogs have been very careful with him, it's as though they instinctively knew where they had to be careful. Sophie couldn't wait to show him her new hide out bomb shelter.Where is she napping now?...The couch!

He's happy to finally be in his own bed. Loved all the modifications we did for him. Were happy that life is getting back to normal.It's been nice not to have those long drives everyday.We did it gladly.

Now it's all pretty much going in for check ups and P/T appmts.
He's doing well getting around the house on his own.

Munky Badger.

 

[LPBeier]

Hey, Munky Badger,
So glad he is settling in well and that you can have your life back at least a little bit. Sending loads of love, hugs and prayers to you and yours.

Having to learn all new channel numbers and two different types of remotes for our new Comcast service. Two of our TVs come with voice remotes! First impression is that it's Soooo Cooool! Second reaction is that it's not nearly as smart as Siri.

I know, I know. First world problem.

 

[taxlady]

Glad to read that things are going well Munky.

 

[PrincessFiona60]

So good to hear, Honey Munky! We are all still here if you need us! Extra hugs for all of you!

 

[Dawgluver]

Welcome home, Mr. Munky! May your recovery be swift!

Whoa! Voice remotes for TV, Andy? I would have to spend some time messing with them.

 

[Andy M.]

...Whoa! Voice remotes for TV, Andy? I would have to spend some time messing with them.

Yup! It's relatively new. SO is thrilled she won't have to learn all the new channel numbers. Just press a button and say, "CBS" etc. You can also call out TV show names, ask for cooking shows, baseball game, etc. It's fairly basic but fun to use.

The mind boggles. That sounds like such fun!

Yes! It does.

You can download remote control apps for smartphones and tablets and use them with TVs and other electronics.
