Re: LTE 2.0

Hey gang - just caatching up - what did I miss? like the UI is a little different; I thought I saw mention of "new software" on the way in. Saw a bit of kerfluffle about Kyrie OY, and ran away. Serious question; when I was a young Turk, I used to get up on Saturday mornings and watch the classic Lo...

Re: Medical School!

Whilst noodling around I thought I might share some more med school news, in May, my eldest, affectionately and sometimes mentioned here as "Swee'Pea", graduated from UC- San Francisco Medical School. It was virtual, and we weren't allowed to celebrate in person. I don't think she likes "Dr. Swee'Pe...

The UVA game flipped from a home game to an away game and we no longer play Miami.
Also lost the trip to Pitt. The last trip up there in 2018 that whacko shot up the Tree of Life Synagogue.

Re: LTE 2.0

There was joy and rejoicing in the exended Turk clan to hear that Holden beach opened for renters over the weekend. Turkapalooza 2020 will neither be cancelled nor televised!!!

In other news listening to Joan Baez playing at Woodstock - not hard to find this time of year....

Re: Windsor is Expecting!!!

Congrats to all in the House of Windsor! I do have to wonder about the reference to "The Doctor"; surely you don't mean Dr. J.? The Philly hoops announcers (including our own Alaa Abdelnaby) make it a point to refer to the coach of the LA Clippers by his given name Glenn Rivers, because "in Philly, ...

Re: LTE 2.0

There were two sorry neglected abandoned chocolate covered donuts sitting lonely and sad in an Entemann's box this morning at the ancestral Turk roost. I took good care of them. Those were the first donuts I've had in a very long time (months, at least).

Conshohocken Brewing - Hinkie's Sweet Revenge A few weeks back, I spent a Friday downtown in the office cleaning up the flotsam and jetsam of a long week of client work.

I told him it looked too heavy to lift. He replied that he is a weight room guy so he can handle it. He works with the strength and conditioning staff - so I think that is where the weight room comes in. He lifts - just not to bulk up. You have all probably noticed how proud I am of all my nieces a...

Re: remodeling...

We survived a kitchen redo at Stately Turk Manor over the summer; our first big-ticket project. Pleased with the result, although my head still hurts and sometimes I have nightmares about the 1,283 choices for drawer pulls and the 479 choices for spigots we had to wade through.

Re: Do NOT Read This if You are Voting for Trump

BD - No worries; we're cool and I understand your frustration. Mrs. Turk is in pretty much a similar place. Pennsylvania has been a fun place to be; the Philly burbs are still solid purple, despite the Jackson Pollock gerrymandering artistry of the past few years, so there have been some opportuniti...

Re: Jury Duty

In Pennsylvania, they do their best to not waste people's time. It's been a few years for me or Mrs. Turk, so the details might be blurry or outdated. Typically in this corner of the Commonwealth, they send you a postcard and you have to call in the night before to see if you need to show up for the...

Re: NASCAR Driving Experience/Andretti Driving School

Oh my. This is on my bucket list, but I think I would be more interested in a road course. I used to work with a guy who had a Porsche (I can't remember the model). It was street-legal, and he would drive it up to Summit, WV most weekends and race on the road track up there, and spent a week every s...

Vibes, prayers, and kind thoughts to AD and the family. On the book list, I read Atul Gawande's "Being Mortal" over the holidays. Ho ho ho. I recommend it also, although it deals more with medical intervention late in life rather than Altzheimers. But it also asks the question of how we really live ...

Re: I need help from the tech gurus PLEASE...

My guess is hardware. Since you swapped SIM cards successfully, I'm betting the device is bad. It happens to the best of us. I'd take both phones to Tysons, swap cards, and watch the bad phone fail. {I did not sleep at Holiday Inn last night} P.S. and I call BS on your friend and his theory about a ...
