Still shaking my head at the utter repression of that regime, and the bald-faced espionage.

Good things will happen for each of you soon. Keep the faith.

If you or she remain nervous, see the first pinned thread in this forum for ideas of what to take along.

I concur with the above answers. Welcome to the forum!

Thread is shifted from the CR-1 Process forum to the CR-1 Case Progress subforum.

One can knock this down to single-digit trips by actually taking an old bulb along to Home Despot to get the right replacement. But very realistic story.

Sunday! Time for our Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke: =========================================== EXERCISE Walking can add minutes to your life. This enables you at 88 years old to spend an additional 5 months in a nursing home at $5,000 per month. I like long walks, especially when they're taken by people who annoy me. I have to walk early in the morning, before my brain figures out what I'm doing. I joined a health club last year... spent about $250 to join. Haven't lost a pound. Apparently, you have to GO there. Every time I hear the dirty word "exercise," I wash out my mouth with chocolate. The advantage of exercising every day is so when you die, they'll say, "Well, he looks good, doesn't he!" If you're going to try cross-country skiing, start with a small country. We all get heavier as we get older, because there's a lot more information in our heads.

Keir Starmer Admits He Has No Idea How To Pronounce His Own Name LONDON — Prime Minister Keir Starmer, amidst calls for his immediate resignation, sheepishly admitted to having no idea how to pronounce his own name. "I've given a lot of you people flak for getting it wrong, but the truth is I haven't the foggiest idea how it's pronounced either," Starmer said. "I don't even know how to spell it." Is it pronounced "Keer" as in "beer" and "Starmer" as in "farmer"? Or should everyone all be calling him "Greg" or something? The truth remains unclear. Starmer's family [...] https://babylonbee.com/news/keir-starmer-admits-he-has-no-idea-how-to-pronounce-his-own-name

Letter to the Editor in Connecticut Asks Question No One Seems Interested in Answering Connecticut passed its Glock ban, which doesn't just impact Glocks. They did it, as per usual, in the name of public safety, all while failing to ignore the facts that criminals aren't supposed to have guns in the first place and that the full-auto switches are illegal to buy, own, or possess without very specific licenses that most people will never have. They passed it just the same. In Connecticut, though, one letter to the editor took issue with a bit of hate thrown at a state lawmaker because of a simple question that no one seems interested in answering.

Comments, especially from our computer gurus? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Here's How Seriously the US Took Digital Security on President Trump's Trip to China The Trump administration has reportedly made digital security a top priority as President Trump and his team participate in high-stakes talks with China. The administration reportedly issued burner phones and laptops to the entire American delegation, and once the trip concluded, even souvenirs received in China, including pins, were collected and disposed of as officials boarded Air Force One. Burner phones were issued to everyone from White House staff and Cabinet officials to reporters, Secret Service agents, and even the more than dozen American tech CEOs on the trip. The Trump administration also reportedly [...] https://townhall.com/tipsheet/dmitri-bolt/2026/05/15/heres-how-seriously-the-us-took-digital-security-in-china-during-high-stakes-beijing-summit-n2676153

Hmm... 56,000 miles -- that's 2 or 3 Stacey Abramses... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Recently Discovered Asteroid Will Sweep Past Earth at Close Range on May 18 — Here's What to Know A newly discovered asteroid, getting closer to Earth by the day, will soon fly past our planet. Asteroid 2026 JH2, only just spotted for the first time on May 10, 2026, is already on track to pass Earth on Monday, May 18, 2026. The asteroid will reach within a little over 90,000 km (56,000 miles) from Earth, closer than most asteroids that sail near Earth.

Those who want to catch the close approach in action will be able to watch 2026 JH2 in the sky with amateur telescopes on Monday.
