mouse works for me, I guess I'll just go with that.
These kids know a LOT! I might not have a keyboard like yours but mine is wireless.
The kids will miss your STUFF and your attention to them as well.
Post by: Moira on March 11, 2022, 08:47:23 pm
I also use the keyboard for typing and the mouse to FIND stuff BUT Jack showed me how to use just the wireless keyboard to turn on the computer and to get the Internet and to use the keyboard to find stuff on the computer !!!!! I never knew we could do THAT ! The mouse IS much easier but .... !!!!
Post by: Linda on March 11, 2022, 10:48:36 am
My keyboard is wireless as is my mouse. I use both? What do you mean Darien? You say you don't use the keyboard and I don't quite get that??

Today's Morning Edition music is from "I Write the Songs" by Barry Manilow, which was No. 1 on the Billboard pop chart 40 years ago Thursday. The song was actually written by Bruce Johnston, best known as a member of the Beach Boys. Johnston said it's about the general notion of where music comes from.21 Jan 2016

Never heard of the Captain and Tennille so I looked them up. NO I have never ever heard of them ! I looked up their records and the only one familiar was " I write the Song" !!!

Now that's a name you don't hear very often and such a pretty name too. I always think of The Captain and Tenneille
Do you remember them?
Post by: Moira on March 07, 2022, 08:46:08 pm
RD ( Helensville is Rural District 2 = RD 2 ) Rainbow Dust = RD TOO also so Bonnie calls HER Ardie ! She is for keeps.
Matt got sunburned when fishing on his legs and arms... oh the complaining especially when on of the pups scratched his legs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry I got the story wrong as Teneille has NOT had any jabs as she too does not agree with them BUT seeing as our Matt was visiting from the outside world ..... they had to make sure he was clear as she is pregnant :) Makes sense to me !
Post by: DarienJ on March 07, 2022, 09:15:38 am
You will miss him, admit it 
I'm glad Matt had a good time and that his fishing drone worked for him.
Post by: Linda on March 07, 2022, 02:52:17 am
If Matt Mc hasn't taken the vaccine how can he live with his wife? He surely doesn't test himself daily. Didn't you say she was pregnant and didn't want Matt to come without a test?
Post by: Moira on March 06, 2022, 08:59:05 pm
She has a bright pink neck thing ! The other one left is the one wearing the golden neck thing, the kids called him Goldie. He is being picked up on Tuesday. He was my favourite too and such a naughty boy, he still is and right now almost 9pm Goldie and RD are sitting at my feet .......... Dan etc all went to Penny's today and are not back yet and the pups were crying out for food so Matt brought them up here and we fed them and they are now flat out at my feet ! Inside too..... Hopefully not for all night !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELP !!!! They are not registered I don't think ....as the buyers will do that but they are all jabbed ! !Yes Matt got back this arvo after a lovely weekend and I think it did him good to get away and him and Matt Mc went fishing with the drone and they caught lots of fish including a little shark.. which they put back !!!!!!! Matt Mc's kids .... April 4 and Jason 18 months .... loved the pup but no name as yet !
Neither of the Matts believe in the jab .... but Tenielle had it ... same as Bonnie did too !
Post by: DarienJ on March 06, 2022, 09:00:55 am
That was a fair enough ask of Matt Mc to ensure his wife remain safe, but if he himself isn't vaccinated, how can he keep from giving her COVID, unless he is at home all the time. I am relieved to hear that Matt arrived safely and the pup.
Are the pups registered? I didn't know Maggie was registered! Which one is Ardie? Is the wee one we like still there?

Matt has managed to buy 5 RAT tests today and he was once again negative so he has gone to Hawkes Bay with the puppy for his mate. ( Matt McCombie. His wife Teneile is 8 weeks pregnant and he does not want our Matt visiting unless he is covid neg. Neither our Matt nor Matt MC are vaxed ! )
Bonnie is fed up with ' Wilma' ( Her original pup choice if you remember ) and her antics so she has been given to Matt Mc. Just heard that our Matt got to Hawkes BAY OK :)
I might sleep tonight now in the peace and tranquility !

.......... but he got back safely with a smile as the Spark person said they had made a mistake and would refund him $80 and fix the problem !!!!!!!! So Jack was happy, I was happy and Matt was happy. PHEW !!!!!!!!!!!Cash and Greta went back to school and Kindy today :) All good.

The kids do not have phones but I know Greta is allowed to watch stuff on Bonnie's phone now and again !! Probably to keep her occupied methinks !!!!!!!!!!!!

Bonnie has.... Vodaphone WIFI or something different to me and it is also costly so Jack is not allowed to use her computer or phone for long ! Dan has Spark but needs it for work and his phone !
SO Jack comes up here to ' easy going Grammy ' ! I told him today that he needs to pay $50 to Matt IF he wants to use the computer WIFI for 2 hours ! HE ran home and got his cash out for his hiding place and brought it ALL back up here ! I think he has about $400 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry about those computer problems, what a pain!!
Post by: DarienJ on February 26, 2022, 10:08:55 am
The pups are being sold for $1,500NZ.
Post by: Moira on February 25, 2022, 10:07:52 pm
SO something is not right here and I WILL visit Spark next week and check !!!!
I always drove a Manual car until things got modern and I had to learn how to drive an Automatic so now I CAN drive either BUT I do prefer the auto. BUT despite my old age I am sure I could manage a manual IF needed ! Of course John COULD drive me in the ute .........................but !~
Post by: Linda on February 25, 2022, 10:14:54 am
have no clue as to how to drive anything but an automatic car. Lil has always had a stick shift because it's more economical or so she and Larry say. So Matt's friend is buying a pup. Tell me again how much each pup costs? I know it's a lot but of course I don't remember how much.
John may have to drive you if you want to go somewhere while Matt is gone and I know you wouldn't like that. I recall what you think of John's driving. Some things I never forget.
30 minutes on the computer would have flown by in a flash for Jack. There is no better way to have time fly than when you are on the computer, at least for me that's true.
Post by: DarienJ on February 25, 2022, 09:42:08 am
How is Matt going to take the pup in the car? Do you have a traveling cage? When will he buy his own transport? I had most of my lessons in a manual car, but swapped to a automatic and I haven't driven a manual since and I know I couldn't!!!!!!!
Post by: Moira on February 24, 2022, 09:58:55 pm
Thankfully it was not quite so humid here today but I was in the car and I did go shopping and I did spend some money ... on groceries mainly....... as Matt wants to borrow MY car tomorrow ... Friday and back Sunday ...to go to Hawkes Bay .. East of here to take his mate Matt McCombie a puppy ! I cannot drive John's ute so I will be housebound for 3 days. WELL I suppose I could drive it in an emergency but it is stick shift !
Last night / well early morning ..... about 5am it absolutely belted down with rain for about 10/15 minutes ONLY ! It woke me up ...as well as the puppies yapping and squealing !!!!!!!
Post by: DarienJ on February 24, 2022, 09:44:54 am
A cold blast would be most welcome, Linda 30 minutes should be more than enough time for Jack!!!
Post by: Linda on February 24, 2022, 05:01:50 am
I can't imagine needing an over the boob dress here at the moment. The temperature was 4 degrees above zero when I looked this morning. Sure wish I could send you over a big blast of air!
Post by: Moira on February 23, 2022, 07:57:46 pm
You have your snow Linda and I AM sweating cobs again in my Over the boob dress !!!!!!!

It snowed a little while I slept but there must have been freezing rain before the snow. When I put one foot out the door to put an envelope in the mail box I could tell it was slippery. We don't have to go out today so think I'l stay inside.
As you can see, I don't know a thing. I'll be back later to see what Darien has to say today.
