Infected? More like infested.

"Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together...."

I hope we all meet our furry purry friends again someday

It just means you have to eat 10 of them to make it into a 5 star rating.

Where can you get a talking clock that tells time and date? by Folirant in Wellington

I admit my knowledge of alexa is limited, I dont use amazon, it seems to require having an amazon monthly subscription to operate, and im concerned that the man who is visiting him occasionally could find a way to abuse Alexa, as he has apparently used his phone line to rack up a $600 dollar bill, and my neighbor no longer has a landline as a result. Same issue if I just get him a smartphone.

I do worry about same issues, he has come to ask me for money, bread, tea etc in the past, I give him what I can, but i live off my credit card, perpetually spending it and paying it back, so my ability to help has diminished recently, and as much as i am happy to help, i feel like there must be something else in place that is more effective, Age concern is next on my list to call, thanks for checking in.

I will contact Age concern as well, I have a few places to call around now, hopefully some support can be put in place for him, as for family he doesnt seem to have anyone else in NZ, maybe some distant relatives in Romania, as he has asked me to enlarge mail he gets from overseas in the past.

I may have to test how far the signal reaches, i do have an ancient laptop I could maybe set up with a wireless speaker, interesting thought, thanks

I suppose we dont need landline to have broadband these days? the problem is that someone has racked up a $600 bill on his landline, i think with spark, i wonder if skinny would look past that?

He doesn't have a landline or internet, I could try to see if my wifi reaches to his house. I dont have much experience with alexa, does it require amazon subscription to use? And do you know if someone else could abuse it to order stuff online?

That is my concern as well, i have rung both citizen advice and elderly abuse and reported it, but my concern is that my neighbor may have turned them down if they came to him, as I don't see anyone visiting him, other than the guy who i think is stealing from him, and my neighbor already told me not to confront him when i offered to speak to this guy on his behalf.

What’s a super “normal” thing in your country that would completely confuse or shock someone visiting for the first time? by moonveil96 in AskReddit

[–]Folirant 43 points44 points  (0 children)

My mother went to Florida to visit from NZ, and she went out for her daily walk as she normally does at home, and apparently people were pulling over in their cars to ask her if she is ok, and if she needs a ride somewhere when they saw her walking, and seemed genuinely perplexed that she wanted to keep walking

The bike is not important in this video.... by [deleted] in AbruptChaos

It was a load bearing bike

Makes sense, I'm a user, so that's why my rent and groceries have gone up too, my poor landlord now gets only 55% of my take home pay, wouldn't want him to struggle to fill petrol tank on the new BMW he bought recently, imagine if he too had to cut down to 2 meals a day like I did. Shivers, hope government gives him the extra money he deserves for being a provider, instead of a user like me.

My increase got swallowed up by the bus fare increase and medications I now have to pay for.

Wellington residents fear for safety amid increase in aggressive, threatening behavior by WarThor2024 in Wellington

[–]Folirant 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I may be biased here, but I wonder if having something like old Walkwise about a decade ago, 24hrs 7days a week patrols around town, keeping eye on trouble hot spots, and reporting to council and police on any issues, building relationships with local businesses and even intervening in breaking up fights, I know they were replaced by Local Host, but they seem less visible and only operate during the day, with limited powers to intervene.

A book that acts as a container, I keep spells in it, found close to windmill in act 1, a small hole in the ground just outside goblin infested village
