PS. I haven't said anything about who of the down-unders and up-aboves are the most crazy. DS.

Well the move went faster then I thought would take. I'm using a Comcast Wi-fi hot-spot till my install kit arrives in the mail since no one comes out to the house anymore.

Only downside now is I'm sore with a ton of bruises from moving furniture and boxes.

Glad it went smoothly.

Good to be in a new home, but, yes, moving house is one of my least favourite activities.

I can make up words as I like … does that mean now that I'm an AI ?

There is a programming language called "Dart": https://dart.dev/

void main() {
print('Hello, World from a pibbur!');
}

The best kept secret of Australia is not some new homicidal beast, it's Aurora Australis.

It is also not freezing when you want to see it, say from just outside Hobart, unlike the other close to Norway, lights.

Well not that many of you need to know but my mother was admitted to the hospital today. It looks like a stroke or heart attack, and she has no feeling in her body.

Hope no son/daughter has to do CPR on there own mother, and watch her almost die before the ambulance arrives. Having flask-backs to my fathers death.

He died of lung cancer and I was the only family member at the hospital at that time as well. Here's to praying I don't have to sign another death release this week.

Good news for now is mom is stabilized and conscious. I'll know more tomorrow.

What a horrible experience - I'm sure I would be very disturbed.

I sincerely hope she makes a full recovery, and that you have some support around you.

Went back to hospital early today as I didn't sleep that much.

Good news was its a very mild stroke caused by a reaction to the new drugs her doctor put her on. The hospital was able to neutralize the infection caused by the antibiotics.

As that what caused most of the lost feeling in her body. Looks like mom will survive but will need a lot of rest/ recuperation, and therapy. She's a tough old lady.

People often make very good recoveries from mild strokes and TIAs. Hope she bounces back quickly. Very important to focus on good health, going forward.
