And, yes, I know that CQ means "all stations" and the D that followed meant "Distress." I had a CB license when I was a teenager. If I needed to check the strength of my signal, I would say "Hello CQ...Radio Check"

Oh; I didn't know that. I thought the letters were simply random.

Kathy, I'm not sure how or why C and Q were selected for the call. The way I learned it is when you say "CQ" it sounds like "seek you."

That is perfect!

Hope you—and all others on the forum—had a good one.

I'm getting ready to break out the white wine and put "I Am a Rock" on repeat.

I posted a reply on Reddit to a thread titled "What's the worst thing you've ever heard anyone say?" It was something my ex said to me. A kind person posted this in reply.

You never know how even a casual comment can affect someone—in this case, positively.

Overthinking, as usual . . . I worry that last image made me look self-aggrandizing.

A modified screenshot. I bet his person doesn't realize the impact of his/her words.

That's taking a passive role in life, Kathy, much like believing in fate.

A better quote would be "You are still here. That means that you did not allow anything that happened to you so far defeat you completely."

When I was in my twenties, I vacationed in Jamaica. Kingston was a rough town. The Harder They Come was playing in theaters. I'm happy I saw the film while I was there. Jimmy Cliff wrote and performed You Can Get It If You Really Want...

Persecution you must fear
Win or lose you've got to get your share
Got your mind set on a dream
You can get it though hard it may seem now

How do we upload photos from our phone/comp in posts? (Apologies, I forgot!)

I'm not sure what other folks do, but I use the image-sharing site ImgBB, which someone here suggested. Sites such as Photobucket, etc., also will work. I right-click on the image I want to upload, choose "Copy Image Address," and then cut and paste that URL into a post using the "Insert Image" function here. (On my screen, it's the icon that is far left, bottom row.)

I hope this makes sense, and helps. I'm on my first cup of coffee!

I use Postimage to upload photos from my computer, KE.

Here's the link: https://postimages.org/

Just register for their free account.

KE, I also use Postimage. ImgBB works fine for me for images from the internet, but my iPhone pictures come out sideways! I can’t figure out how to make them flip. Photobucket is only an option if you pay them. lol

I can't imagine having $20,000 to spend on something like this. Think of the Sephora shopping binges that would fund.

Australians apparently can make even watching golf (something I've always found to be crushingly boring) fun.

This looks 'way more exciting than the stuff my father watches.
