The deadline for submitting your pictures is very soon. We can extend that by a couple of days IF you send email letting us know the name of each pet you want in the calendar.
🐇
Please let us know ASAP that you plan to send photos in, and the name of each pet. Even without all the pictures, knowing how many entries there will be allows us to get started!
If you sent me email with your pet names, etc and did not receive the link to the photo upload area, please send your message again.
🐇
We are using the same system as last year.
It’s a 4-step process, start to finish. (for you)
- Start the process by sending me an email message
- Use the link we supply to upload your files
- Check for your nym and names of your pets in the spreadsheet we’ll post later on BJ
- Notify us if anything is incorrect
🐇
To start the process, simply send email to watergirl. If you need more info about the exact email addresses, check out Contact Us in the white bar up top, for details.
Your message should include:
- your name
- your nym
- the names of all each pet that is going to be in the calendar
- if you would like a small heart with the photo of a beloved pet that you have lost
🐇
Details and the link for uploading your files will be sent to you by email once you send the email with your name, nym, and pet names.
🐇
Calendars will be available to order by December 1.
Oh, and all calendar posts are Open Threads.
WaterGirl
It seems like no one comments on these, even though I make it clear that they are open threads. But more folks write asking for the upload link after I post these, so I guess it’s not a lost cause.

I’m here! Let’s see…well, my disability claim got approved by the state, huzzah! I was kind of surprised that I didn’t have to go through the denial/appeal thing. I was on disability for years in my early to mid 30s, but that was for a very severe physical illness. This time around, it’s a mental disability issue, and I guess I assumed that even though they do list it on the SDI site as a recognized disability, they would just be like “LOL suck it up” and deny me. So I’m very relieved, plus pleased that the amount is more than I expected.
Old School
@Alison Rose: Congrats! Is this a process you’ll have to go through again every few years? Or was it a one-and-done?
Alison Rose
@Old School: So, the way it went last time is that SDI through the state is “short term” and lasts for a year, so long as your doctor continues to certify your disability. I think they have to do it every few months? And then after a year, if you are still disabled, they transition you to long term disability through the federal government. And on that, I think I had to recertify it once a year.

Butch, if you are reading this thread – all my replies to you are being rejected.

Testing the Oldsmobile.
New whip is in the new thread.
WaterGirl
@Kropacetic: yep, this one is good, too. Looks like you are good to go.
Lady WereBear
@Alison Rose: Well, damn, that is certainly not typical! I know they are tortuous and glad yours was less so.
In happy news, Sir Tristan (cat) lost a tooth but gained perhaps a better disposition if it was bothering him. He will be back and complaining in the Siamese way by dinnertime.
There’s now a box to check for authorizing CPR if necessary, and I appreciated the thought, and declined its use. Just an FYI for pet lovers, so they can ponder before the next procedure.
Kropacetic
@WaterGirl: Thanks again.

Can someone who watches Apple TV plus tell me how to figure out what episode I am watching?
I am watching on my iPad. I started with episode 1 of Bad Sisters, and just like Netflix when one episode is done I can click to see the next episode.
But on Netflix, I can always see what episode I am watching. Season 1, episode 3, or whatever.
I cannot find any way to see what episode I am watching. I think I am getting close to the end of the series and it’s really annoying – I can’t even tell if I am on the last episode!
Hoping someone can tell me.
Qrop Non Sequitur
@WaterGirl: Even though I don’t, since this has been sitting a while I decided to research it. All I found were angry customers with the same problem.
WaterGirl
@Qrop Non Sequitur: Okay, well at least I know I’m not missing something that’s right in front of me.
I had clicked every available icon on the screen and had no idea where to go from there. I did a quick google before posting but didn’t come up with anything.
Thank you for solving the mystery!
Qrop Non Sequitur
@WaterGirl: I figured as much. I had every faith in your analytical skills as an end user.
WaterGirl
@Qrop Non Sequitur: After posting my question, I went off and walked on the treadmill for 30 minutes, which is where I watch Bad Sisters. Only on the treadmill!
So my best guess is that I am now either 10 minutes from the end of the series OR I am 10 minutes from the end of episode 9, and there is one more episode.
Why do they think people wouldn’t want to know where they are??? (yelling at Apple TV PLUS, not you)
raven
@WaterGirl: OK, open the Apple TV app and, if Bad Sisters isn’t under Most Popular, clock on See All and it should be on the list. Click on Bad Sister and it should launch a page title page that has a Resume Episode button. If you scroll you’ll see each episode and there is a checkmark there that indicates you have watched it
eta when I hit Resume it went back to the beginning, it does show images of where you are.
Qrop Non Sequitur
@WaterGirl: Or, for that matter, pick a previous episode to rewatch from a menu?
I wouldn’t be able to function like that. I only watch TV going to sleep. I need to know where I am and how to get back there.
WaterGirl
@raven: I guess that could work, but I don’t want to lose my place.
I just want to be able to see the episode # of the episode I am watching, or at least see that the next episode will be season x, episode x and I am prompted to watch the next one.
I can always tell where I am on netflix.

@WaterGirl:
I recently got a rowing machine, and it’s set up in my library-office, so I can watch streaming while I row. Does anyone know how to stream live television, like MSNBC, on the computer? Otherwise I can watch Prime or Netflix.
WaterGirl
@JoyceH: I am probably no help here. Live streaming shows on TV channels have commercials, which makes me nuts. So I would always opt for Prime or Netflix myself.
Quiltingfool
I’ll post this message again later, but I just mailed #25 Ukraine quilt blocks to these folks:
GB, 13000, LS, Sacrableu, SkyBluePink, Lodger/NoOneYouKnow, CarolWP and Watergirl
I had a quilt guild meeting today and I was tasked with the Show ‘N Tell portion of the meeting. Let me tell you, I have way too many quilts that need a good home! Those suckers are HEAVY. I did show #25 and the ladies are very good to ooh and ah!
Old School
@JoyceH: For MSNBC, click on “Live TV” on the right side on the top menu bar. They do make you proof you have a cable account or you can only watch for ten minutes.
Steeplejack
@WaterGirl:
Look at the episode guide on IMDB. The thumbnail descriptions are not (usually) spoilery.
WaterGirl
@Steeplejack: Thanks for the suggestion. The descriptions of the last two episodes both fit the episode I’m on. But I fear it’s the last one.
Elie
Hi!
I would like to submit a photo of my cat Nemo. My name is Eliana (Elie) Steele
My nym is Elie
Thanks so much for doing this…
WaterGirl
@Elie: Hey Elie, you need to send me that info by email so I can reply with the upload link. :-)
