Apps and More Apps

At the restaurant,
I eat an app
Before my entree.

After lunch is done
I want a nap
Before post noon play.

My cool mobile phone
Too, has an app,
More color than gray.

But unlike my lunch
The phone's bright app
Is just crap. okay?

And you know what's worse?
To use that crap,
I must pay to play.

Sorry to see you go.

@adam

Glad to see you continue!

May your new instance do what you need of it. Post when you can.

#WordOfTheDay

terrine

/təˈriːn/
noun
A meat, fish, or vegetable mixture that has been cooked or otherwise prepared in advance and allowed to cool or set in its container, typically served in slices.
mass noun ‘wedges of terrine’

Origin
Early 18th century (denoting a tureen): from French, literally ‘large earthenware pot’, from terrin ‘earthen’.

==========

I suppose peach cobbler, served cold does not qualify as a terrine. Still, I've never developed a taste for pork pie.

My phone opened my BMW door.
My phone allowed the BMW to start.

My phone, in my purse, in my BMW...

...was in the hands of a purse thief who watched me as I locked the BMW before going toward the mall.

Looong day.
Short night.

Don't fight.

Looong night.

Nonetheless, keep at it!

@KelsonV

Thank you for sharing that link.

I just had to do my own version...red shaded circles, all the same, of course.

@Wsteria

just my 2¢ worth

All advice should be seen as anecdotal.

"This is the way I do it or was taught to do. I am used to it."

My habits will differ from yours.
If yours work for you, excellent.

(If my habits work for you, even better!) 😉

@JigmeDatse @RussSharek

That sounds like my sense of it, for the seated scooch, a common option which requires less work than standing and sitting back down.

@JigmeDatse @RussSharek

For me and my family it means "move laterally, but more like a slide than to stand and shift position."

We would do it to shift, making room on a couch or to scooch up in bed to lean on a pillow, or scooch down to lie flatter before going to sleep.

How do you use it?

@RussSharek

Well, that makes more sense to my aging mind.

Scooch over, though. When I look back on many of my posts, I see things I need to fix with delete and redraft!

@RussSharek

OK, you need to explain "song scooch" to me.

I've never seen that phrase before.

@RussSharek

Hey, Russ.

Do you do a lot of scooching in your work or did you just happen to see the post float by in the stream?

Jenny and Sue scooched over to make room for Sally on the couch. They planned to gossip all night while the boys hovered around them.

Weed/Wildflower Wednesday

White Clover - Trifolium repens

White clover is common as an intentional lawn additive, though many consider it a weed. Clover has bacteria attached to the spreading root system which help to capture nitrogen from the air which actually helps fertilize the lawn naturally.

@RampantPanda

Thanks for linking.
That's what I'm thinking.
I'll watch for your photos.
Whenever you post those.

I also use FOSS things
And then my heart sings.
Of art, rhyme or image,
Depending on my mage.

I look forward to interacting.
