WannaBe: Sorry for the continuing posting, but I was at the game, where R. Peete faked the knee down against Ucla. That school is nothing but cheats. See P. Carroll that 'fled' to Seattle when crap hit the fan.

WannaBe: Another not important thing that I noticed, as a premium member when I visit ChessGames.com Statistics Page page, I see ads. Not that a big deal. Sure CG.com have more important things to fix.

It's actually Yiddish, so you can safely play it without reversing it. :)

Apr-06-19  playground player: <WannaBe> I hope you don't mind my appealing to you for help in solving another unexpected and frustrating computer problem.

Yesterday, for no reason I can discover, the method I've been using to post images and videos--which you taught me, a couple of years ago--just stopped working.

I select an image, copy it, return to my blog post, and paste it in--only now when I do that, nothing happens. Wordpress said I should clear my cache, which I did: and then I was able to paste images onto a couple of posts--until just now, and it's back to not working.

Can you tell me what's causing this problem, and how I can correct it?

In a word--help!!!

  WannaBe: Saw something interesting today at work, inmate work/cleaning crew divvy up big bucket of ice toward the end of their shift, into (clean) trash bags the size of which are used for office cubicle sized rubbish bin...

So I stopped their foreman, regular civilian employee and asked about it.

There are no ice in cell blocks, as one can imagine, and as a special 'treat' they get to take ice back. (or when weather gets hot, work crew gets iced water, even if they work inside mopping floors and emptying office trash, wiping down desks...)

Inmates then can go back, make themselves a nice couple glasses of iced tea or lemonade. Or a whole pitcher I guess.

Puts (our) life in perspective, if I want some ice, I just push a button on my fridge at home...

Apr-18-19  technical draw: Hello friends, I am taking advantage of my friends <chancho> and <WannaBe> to give some info about what I have been doing.

First the bad news: My bother passed away in Ft. Walton Beach Fla. He died 26 January 2019 just shy of his 72nd birthday.

I have now decided that I will be making Aliya to Israel. I have some obstacles in my way but hopefully they can be overcome.

I am up to chapter 6 on my book on Jewish and Christian eschatology. There are hundreds of books written about that subject but I add something that no one has.

Hopefully I can get all this done before the end of the year. Thank you all my friends for still being here and I salute all because I don't want to leave anyone out. Shalom, my friends, Peace be with you......TD
