On Sunday night, my best friend, a stray Minitsaure Schnauzer,poodle mix died. She was my constant companion, ever since she chose our house 9 years ago. When I had a stroke, she stayed with me for 2 days on the floor and followed me everywhere every day. I'm not normally an emotive person, but I'm so sad, I can't help it. If dogs go to heavem, she surely is there. She brought joy and love into the house and now she's gone.

She passed away young as well - they leave pawprints on your soul.
Rest in peace, little one.

I don't know if I believe in a heaven for human beings. I sure hope there is one for all of my four-legged friends.

Sounds like she was loved, so must have been a good life. I'm lighting a candle for her tonight, and hope that you not keep the grief too long as a companion.

Get another dog, it will surely love you just as much and may fill the void. As someone who has not been able to have a dog for 20+ years it is a sad place to be. A puppy will lift your heart.

Should people who use selfie sticks have a good, long look at themselves?

No. In most cases, they should avoid that.

Hi All,
Time for a wine I have had before but... I am writing the test procedure for a new product and met with a push back for the way I wanted to do something. I am a Windows guy, it ain't perfect but... So I wanted an application to drive the serial port and configure it to work. The software team could not allow time to write a full application. I offered to write it in Visual Studio, I was treated like I was going to eat small children rather than save them time & effort, M$ apparently does not fit with the 'spirit' (those words were used) of the project ?  Have I suddenly been transported to a parallel universe where we have to vegan, drink vegetable juice?? .
Also now I have remembered another thing, Why use more computing power than necessary, to flash an LED this lot want a Beagle Bone Black, I suggest a 555. 'Oh, but that is not reconfigurable', It's to show the unit is powered on. Why? Simpler for software but not cheap.

speaking of ... once used a 555 to make a whine
many many years ago. these days couldn't poke out my eye with a sodding soldering iron, ... unless of course the intention was exact opposite.

I once made a Fuzz Pedal that was mostly a radio with 555...
