Sorry for the late flip. I was out and the phone died. Don't think we missed anything though. Hopefully Johnny isn't too upset. 😉

I know this is a Dad Type Tale but got to tell somebody before I have the warden euthanized. She has an iPhone5 (4 generations old) which every tear I try to replace and she does not want a new one..... Son told her he was buying her a new one period the end because hers does not work right half the time and the battery life is very short...... So he sent her a new iPhone 7 yesterday and I try to transfer her data from the iCloud. This is when shit hits the fan. She has not upgraded anything since 2013, said I told her not to.... Bullshit! Because it has not been updated the data transfer app can't be used and I can't get to the old iOS updates. Then I try the cloud, will not work on the outdated iOS..... Trying to figure out how to do it somehow and she has 1300 +unopened emails and 1200+ pictures on the damn thing so no wonder shit does not work half the time it is out of space space and at least 8 iOS updates behind.....
Thank you for your listening patience, so far but there is more!
Tried to download iTunes on her laptop to do the transfer by wire and guess what - 21 updates behind and almost nothing works. She said oh I don't use it anymore because it does not work very good.
Just fuk me to tears!

October 15 is....... Chicken Cacciatore Day
The History of Chicken Cacciatore Day
It’s probably best to start off by saying what cacciatore actually means, which will help shed some light on the dish’s origins. Cacciatore means “hunter” in Italian, and it is hunters who first ate this dish. In fact, it is thought that the first Chicken Caccaiatore was not made with chicken at all, but with rabbit or other wild game sometime during the Renaissance period, so between the 14th and 16th centuries. Chicken Cacciatore’s simple but delicious recipe was likely developed to satisfy the appetites of hunters who may have been on the track of a larger animal or herd of animals for several days, and who needed a tasty, filling stew that could easily be cooked outdoors to keep them going. The spices used, such as parsley and oregano, would have also been readily available to humble hunters. An interesting fact is that contrary to popular belief, Chicken Cacciatore did not originally contain tomatoes or tomato sauce, as tomatoes were brought to Italy from the New World later than it would have been made for the first time. When making this dish with chicken, it is more traditional to use the dark meat, not the white meat, as it contains more fat and therefore helps make a thicker, tastier sauce when cooked than lean chicken breast would.

From Halfwheel here is the details in Obummers Cuban Cigar & Rum changes. Would like some rum but personally I don't give a crap,about the low quality cigars they now produce.
For nearly the past two years, Americans visiting Cuba were allowed to bring back up $400 of goods per trip, of which up to $100 worth could be tobacco products and alcohol, which almost certainly meant rum and cigars. Soon, that limit will go away.
On Friday, President Obama issued a presidential policy directive that will lift that cap and make several other changes in the relations between the two countries to help promote business and trade.
For travelers, the most noticeable change will be the removal of the $100 limit on what they are allowed to bring back in terms of Cuban tobacco and alcohol as long as they are for personal use and pay the normal duties that would apply.
There will also no longer be a limit on these products purchased in countries other than Cuba, previously Americans were able to legally purchase Cuban cigars abroad, but could not bring them back to the U.S.
This means Americans can bring 100 Cuban cigars, valued less than $800, duty free every 31 days; anything over that amount is subject to a flat 4 percent rate of duty. That’s the same policy that applies to bringing cigars back from any other country.
Online and mail order sales remain prohibited as does importing Cuban cigars for anything other than personal use, meaning it is still illegal for retailers in the U.S. to sell Cuban cigars.

I know this is a Dad Type Tale but got to tell somebody before I have the warden euthanized. She has an iPhone5 (4 generations old) which every tear I try to replace and she does not want a new one..... Son told her he was buying her a new one period the end because hers does not work right half the time and the battery life is very short...... So he sent her a new iPhone 7 yesterday and I try to transfer her data from the iCloud. This is when shit hits the fan. She has not upgraded anything since 2013, said I told her not to.... Bullshit! Because it has not been updated the data transfer app can't be used and I can't get to the old iOS updates. Then I try the cloud, will not work on the outdated iOS..... Trying to figure out how to do it somehow and she has 1300 +unopened emails and 1200+ pictures on the damn thing so no wonder shit does not work half the time it is out of space space and at least 8 iOS updates behind.....
Thank you for your listening patience, so far but there is more!
Tried to download iTunes on her laptop to do the transfer by wire and guess what - 21 updates behind and almost nothing works. She said oh I don't use it anymore because it does not work very good.
Just fuk me to tears!

It ain't a fun place to be, I threw the Fuk'n laptop in the trash can this morning and when I get this phone set up I am done Fuk'n with her electronics for good and I long ago forbid her from even touching any of mine.
Sheesh, with that attitude, no wonder she's afraid to do iOS updates. Who could blame the poor thing?
GFY
Is that 2 already today? And we're still on page 2. This must be my lucky day.
Do they make an instant lottery game called Crotchety Old Man? If so, you should definitely think about playing it, you're on fire today!
Not certain, but I'll be sure to look for one.

GFY lull?

I know this is a Dad Type Tale but got to tell somebody before I have the warden euthanized. She has an iPhone5 (4 generations old) which every tear I try to replace and she does not want a new one..... Son told her he was buying her a new one period the end because hers does not work right half the time and the battery life is very short...... So he sent her a new iPhone 7 yesterday and I try to transfer her data from the iCloud. This is when shit hits the fan. She has not upgraded anything since 2013, said I told her not to.... Bullshit! Because it has not been updated the data transfer app can't be used and I can't get to the old iOS updates. Then I try the cloud, will not work on the outdated iOS..... Trying to figure out how to do it somehow and she has 1300 +unopened emails and 1200+ pictures on the damn thing so no wonder shit does not work half the time it is out of space space and at least 8 iOS updates behind.....
Thank you for your listening patience, so far but there is more!
Tried to download iTunes on her laptop to do the transfer by wire and guess what - 21 updates behind and almost nothing works. She said oh I don't use it anymore because it does not work very good.
Just fuk me to tears!

No, you're problem is that you CAN'T just supervise, you have to help and be involved. I'm the same way. Figure it's easier to do it myself, make sure it gets done right the first time.

I will repost this Monday when most are here but I heard from Chip this morning and the news is not good. His wife was home for 2 weeks and developed sepsis from the pancreas issues. She has undergone 4 surgeries and been in ICU for 17 days. She was scheduled for a 5th surgery this morning but brain swelling caused that to be cancelled and at this time she is in a coma. Treatments for the brain swelling are underway but they do not know what brain damage may occur. Her situation is extremely grave and life threatening, Chip asks that we all please keep her in our prayers.
A little about Sepsis:
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that arises when the body's response to infection injures its own tissues and organs. Common signs and symptoms include fever, increased heart rate, increased breathing rate, and confusion. There may also be symptoms related to a specific infection, such as a cough with pneumonia, or painful urination with a kidney infection. In the very young, old, and people with a weakened immune system, there may be no symptoms of a specific infection and the body temperature may be low or normal rather than high. Severe sepsis is sepsis causing poor organ function or insufficient blood flow. Insufficient blood flow may be evident by low blood pressure, high blood lactate, or low urine output. Septic shock is low blood pressure due to sepsis that does not improve after reasonable amounts of intravenous fluids are given.

Hopefully he can work in a cigar, take the edge off and burnish his man card a bit. No doubt it is in need of burnishing.

+1 on daughter, and also knew his mom was in bad shape and then passed. Had no idea about the Mrs.
I don't think our thoughts and prayers are helping him. Things seem to be getting worse with every update we get.
Such a great guy too. It really makes me question the existence of higher authority with how crappy things keep happening to him and his family.
Do you know if his daughter is at least in the clear?
