Ribh's D'Coopage

Good morning folks :frow

Here in the US a lot of counties issue students laptops and tokens at the beginning of the school year and collect them when the year is over. I don't think ours does, but am not sure. In this area, there are whole generations that have never had a computer, because internet was expensive and hard to find. So they went from phones connected to the wall to smartphones and skipped the whole computer thing. It's taken four years to get fiber installed here and ooooh what a difference it makes. It used to take me a half hour to an hour to upload one of my reports at work, not it takes less than a minute.

On a sadder note, I'm going to ask for prayers and support for one of our BYC Mods. @sumi is a good friend and a major force behind BYC. She's battling Brain Cancer and could use all the prayers we can give. Here's the thread where we've been keeping track of her. It might be good to read the first post and then the last post made by @TwoCrows. Reading the whole thread would be quite the undertaking, but is still a good read. I'm worried about her and I do believe in the power of prayer.

I’m sorry to hear about Sumi. ☹
 
Here is the state of Alice's feathers on Wednesday (2 days ago) poor thing. There's not much there to keep her warm at the moment. Her legs are completely bare. She's been trying to keep warm by spreading her wings along her sides and tucking her neck into her hackle feathers. 🥺

The pin feathers are coming out fast though. Now she looks like a porcupine with very flat lying quills
Poor baby. That looks really uncomfortable. :(
 
Thank you. I almost walked yesterday. There is a limit and I was there. Better today.
I understand. We're in a crunch right now but it will pass. For now we have to persist otherwise who will do what we do? It can't be learned overnight, in a week, or even in a year. I know someone whose training was 8 years of tertiary education and then 20 years on the job in a very specialised niche - if that person quits now, a whole bunch of things will fail and the public will be worse off. I'm sure you're in much the same position.
