Thursday – A Little Personal

~ John W. Howell

“What is going on, Lucy?”

“Well, little one, it seems the Boss’ MAC went down.”

“So, what does that mean?”

“He has a limited way to post photos. So we will have to be content with just a few.”

“But I wanted to show the new plants and the nice potting area.

“I’m afraid it will have to wait. We can only do so much with a Boss who is so Apple-centric.”

“You would think he would maybe remember his days behind a PC at his age.”

“Old dogs forget old tricks, Little One.”

“How about this tomato plant. We can show that, right?”

“I would be quick about it. You see, the Boss normally has a way to reduce the pixels on photos.”

“What can that  have to do with a tomato?”

“He is off his game in pixel reduction so it takes more memory hence fewer photos.”

So the pixel problem comes to roost on us?”

“Yup. But hey, it’s not so bad. We can still have fun.”

“That no one will know about.”

“But we have each other and that is what really counts.”

“You are right Lucy. Also, you are it for tag.”

  4. “Old dogs forget old tricks” is a new one for me, and oh, so true! Despite fewer photos and probably a little more frustration behind the scenes, that line alone wins the day.

  11. Nice to see the girls having a good time, even with the tech issues the boss has to deal with. The yard looks great, better and better as the things warm up. Thanks for sharing, John. It feels good to smile. 🙂

  13. Sorry about your computer woes. Sorrier for the girls not getting as many photo ops as they (or I guess Twiggy) would prefer. At least they have each other, not that their game of tag will help with your tech issues. I hope it’s an easy and inexpensive fix.

    Belly rubs to the girls.

  15. I love how your yard is coming alive, John. I’m just beginning to adjust to our desert rock “lawn”. Even with pixel limitations, the photos are beautiful. 🌺

    1. Thank you, Gwen. I wish I could have posted all of them but as they say, “Maybe net time.” Our yard is zero scape so we are as close to desert as we can get here. I hope your veggies came through the cold snap okay.

  17. Oh, no! So sorry to hear about the computer woes, John. I hope you get them straightened out soon. The girls love to shine in their spotlight, but the reality is they would shine even without photos!

  22. “But we have each other and that is what really counts.”

    “You are right Lucy. Also, you are it for tag.” My favorite lines.

    Hope Mac is back. I so get it, like I said, it’s as if you went from a Corvette to a Chevy without a stick shift.

      1. We are spoiled John. When I use the PC at the Library, I am so impatient at its slowness. Mac who you have to admit, has it goin’ on, the Nathan Detroit of computers.

        You can almost see it in a pinstriped suit and spats. 🙂

        1. Loved Frankk Snatra in the role. Here’s some fun dialogue
          Miss Adelaide : And what was that about?
          Nathan Detroit : His wife’s having a baby.
          Miss Adelaide : But why is he asking you?
          Nathan Detroit : He’s nervous, it’s his first wife.😀

  25. If you are taking pictures with an iPhone (assuming your all MAC all the time), you can email them to yourself and downsize them as you send them. In case this problem continues (which I hope it doesn’t). Don’t be skimping on the Lucy/Twiggy show.

  27. Don’t you just HATE computer problems?? We’ve allowed ourselves to get so attached to technology that we really stumble when things don’t work the way they should. We’ll just have to use our imagination that Lucy and Twiggy are having a ball, barking at the delivery guys!

    1. I really can’t remember how I reduced the sie of the jpegs so that they weren’t memory hogs. I do it right on the MAC but so far have not found the key on the PC. Thanks, Debbie

  31. Old dogs forget old tricks (and most everything else)…I represent that statement from the girls. Hey, you’re right, they have each other.

  32. I’m so sorry about the MAC, dear John. These problems are so annoying, while strolls around the Twiggy Resort are always wonderful! Thank you!

  34. Fingers crossed, John! I am sure at Apple they will find a solution. Sometimes your opaque fence reminds me on the Berlin Wall. 😉 What’s about some graffiti’s on it? 😉 A little joke. Have a nice weekend! xx Michael

  35. To think I switched from Mac to PC… I know, I know. I just can’t justify the expense.
    Hope it was repaired lickety-split! The girls did a great job, regardless 🙂

  37. OMG! Even the puppies know about your MAC!
    MAC moping is a drag. My last one lasted 8 years. This one is 4 now.
    However, this one has done a better job at updating operating systems.
    🤞🤞🤞
    However, it really isn’t fair that there aren’t more pics of Twiggy and Lucy!
