Electronics Don’t See the Human in Me

Posted on December 11, 2014 by tazscott

Remember when I found out I do not really have fingerprints? [ http://blog.scottsontherocks.com/blog/2011/10/19/non-fingerprints/ ]

Now that touch-screens and biometrics have about taken over the world, I can hardly function! Throw the friendly brain clot in there and trying to post anything from my phone becomes a challenge.

While it takes me 10x longer to read/write/type anything, it also takes me 10x longer to successfully get my touchscreen to acknowledge my existence. Often, I end up with 4-5 copies of something because I managed that many from my frustrated 50 attempts! (Sorry if I send you 12 replies 🙂 )

I’ve decided that God is teaching me patience because He has a sense of humor. 🙂 He’s tried before: [ http://blog.scottsontherocks.com/blog/2012/11/22/the-thanksgiving-glitch-es/ ]

William’s Youth Group Limousine

Posted on December 10, 2014 by tazscott

[pics incl] William’s youth group went to laser tag (I think about 50 kids). The middle school boys won the limousine ride to laser tag, they had a charter bus for all the others and the ride back.

A “Ha-Ha” with Cats

Posted on December 9, 2014 by tazscott

[pics incl]. Ya know…, I WAS comfy, stretched out by the fireplace, when Popcorn scootched in and propped his head under my hand like I had reached over to scratch his chin?!? Then Nightwing had to climb in my hair. Before I could object, Jeff grabbed a camera and said “You’re snuggling w/ two cats by the fire, BE STILL!” Next thing I know, Ashley says “ME, TOO!” and then, like they planned it, they both yelled “It’s a ha-ha!”

If you’ve never had “a ha-ha,” you should try it, it’s best at parties ;-P. [NOTE: If I can remember, I’ll hunt down “ha-ha” pics, otherwise, ask me!]

Ok, “A Ha-Ha” is something you learn at camp 😉 The first person lies down, next alternates with head on stomach, until you run out of people 😉 THEN, the first person says “HA,” and the next person says “HA-HA,” and the third “HA-HA-HA” and so forth. You have to start over if someone “laughs too many ha’s” Here are photos of some birthday party ha-ha’s.

[pics incl]. We were driving, wish we could’ve captured the true essence of colors for ya (the mountains in the distance are WHITE with snow).

Dinner with Patty and Burleigh

Posted on December 6, 2014 by tazscott

[pics incl]. We all went to dinner with Burleigh and Patty. William started not feeling well just before we arrived, so when we ran into another large group of neighbors, that included John and Roni, they brought him back home. It was great to see everyone and awesome to know they are willing to sacrifice their health 😉

And the Bubble Has Tipped

Posted on December 5, 2014 by tazscott

[pics incl] William is officially (as officially as it gets around here anyway), a smidge taller than Ashley… two down, one to go… unless you count Abby. ;-). Heather walked in seconds after I told them “back-to-back.” So she found a level and we moved the party from the carpet to the tile.

Great Resistance

Posted on December 3, 2014 by tazscott

[pics incl] Heather thinks I should say “Rude Awakening.” Either way, I think we deserve an award for resisting the temptation to “bang the drum!”. I suspect Peanut appreciates our restraint. 🙂

[NOTE: I guess on small screens it’s not readily obvious that there is a cat asleep INSIDE the drum!]

Cat in the Basket

Posted on December 1, 2014 by tazscott

[pics incl] William flipped an empty basket over Nightwing. After a bit, he let him out but a few minutes later, Nightwing marched over and asked to get back under the basket?!

The Electric Blanket Hijacking

Posted on November 24, 2014 by tazscott

[pics incl]. Once the cats figured out that it was too windy for the fireplace, they bolted to my side of the bed and clearly expected me to come in and turn on the heated blanket!
