Purl a bump... Is that code?

you forgot to transcribe the verb from the first half of the sentence: Purl makes a bump.
But yeah, according to some, knitting could be used as code.
like recording marching troops of invading armies.
Would have to check the Pletchley files though.

well, it lacks the sophistication of the practitioner, but the essence of the event is described rather nicely!

This is one of those infamous "like funny and agree" replies.

Great night tonight.

Jacob's Junior High Basketball Team won the Parish Tournament and Finished the season with a record of 18-1.

Tonight they beat the Defending Champs and #1 seed by 22 points in the Finals. Jacob had a Double Double in Assists and Steals. So much fun.

Wow! Epic, powerful!

They also have an awesome, energetic version of Beethoven's "Ode to Joy".

Just heard a doctor say that a guy here "was doing some japanese sword fencing, and got hit with a stick." I had to hold my tongue pretty hard at that statement.

Just another day at the hospital...

Well, had my blood drawn this morning....I'm a quart low now. Now to await the results to find out if I am plague infested or not.

There's still doubt??

Well, spilled something on my laptop last night (over-filled my champagne glass...that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it). Now at least one button doesn't work on the keyboard. That means this weekend I'll have to do a tear-down to see if I can get rid of all traces. Fun.

Don't worry xue, I got you covered

Don't worry xue, I got you covered

Every time I see that it makes me think of this

Well, actually, now just waiting to see what type of the plague. I am told some of those tests can be a week or more until you get results

Well, that makes far more sense. We've all been pretty sure for some time that you either have some plague or were responsible for it elsewhere.

Isn't it the sort of thing that's kind of important to know sooner - since you might infect other people? I mean, I am all for a good old-fashioned epidemic, but still...

We need a fresh supply of champagne. I published Dostoyevsky today.

I did the same, only with beer...

Stripped out the mobo and keyboard, ran it under the tap and put on a radiator.

Still working 8 years later

Unfortunately I’ve just discovered this keyboard cannot be removed. It’s heat-welded (plastic melted) onto the palmrest. All I can do is remove everything removable and wash what’s left. Hope this works; I’m teaching a couple of Excel classes next week.

Well, I suspect it is a mild strain Bubonic plague or possibly the 24 version hour Ebola..

Actually it is various diseases from ticks, Rheumatoid Arthritis and a few other things
