@Therapist4u , back in 2023, you had mentioned something about recovering some files from a computer you did a system restore on. That's what I meant about the cloud, as in have your files been backed up to the cloud? ☁️ 📂

It's been pouring here all day. 🌧️ Guessing all of us on the east coast have been suffering the same fate. Also we are under a high wind advisory 💨, but I think we dodged the bullet, although I did just hear a large thump on the deck a few minutes ago. 😬 I don't even want to see what that was 🫣, but I think that big tree growing out of my deck might be sending down some more goodies again.

Phone has been going on all day with alerts about roads closed due to accidents or flooding or in one case, downed power pole. And *knocking on wood* power has stayed on although the FIOS box went into Reboot mode a couple of times.

Stay safe out there everyone! 👷🚧

Crazy January in the east. Let's hope February is better weather wise

Hey peeps. Try to catch up from 2023. I see @DaveMcK has moved us into next year's porch.

@Frozenoem, glad you're hanging in there. I know it is sometimes hard to check in, cause too many other things are demanding our attention.

@LaDolceVita, hoping you're staying toasty warm in spite of that "old-time, homey" smell. 😁 Speaking of walking dogs, Willie Mae was giving me the cold shoulder because I was just basically ignoring them and didn't give her any quality time. I fed them, but it was in and out. (Couldn't help it, due to certain circumstances) She ran/hid from me like I was a stranger and ignored any food I tried to feed her. So tonight, although I wasn't predisposed to doing so, I knew I had to re-bond with her and took her and Giorgio on a quick, short walkabout/pee break. (Giorgio still loves me.) I think it worked. She allowed me to touch her, with her stick, of course. I think we're buds again. 😽 Who knew a feral cat would require such maintenance and stroking of their ego, although I think it was my ego that was hurt more. 😢

@Therapist4u, got one question: The cloud?

@catwoman500, I hope the Eagles get fired back up and turn it around. I even thought that the Commanders might help Eagles cinch first when they took the first lead against the Cowboys, but ah, it was not preordained. Coach is gone, but he did take the team through a rough period. Owner issues. Team issues. Name changes. It's been a dark period for Washington. Anyway, Cowboys still have to play in the wild card just like the Eagles. So no advantage there. They got no bye.

Waving at @1StepATaTIME and your bud, Mr. No-Name, in case you stop by. 👋

@MsStretch Your Willie Mae story had me laughing. A cat that likes to be petted with a stick. I hope your ego was not too bruised. I forget, do you have indoor cats too?
