Quote from: DavidW on May 18, 2025, 04:35:02 PMI'm getting close to the end. I attended our academic awards ceremony today (luckily, I didn't have to present), and I will give my final on Saturday.

Wooo! Finish line in sight!

Quote from: Kalevala on May 18, 2025, 02:08:19 PMO.k., 1) what is an OCR program?, and 2) an A4?  :-[

And, as you might have guessed, I'm also interested in the history of cooking and of food.  We all have our own "nerdie" interests.  ;D

May I ask (even roughly) what your academic specialties are?

Happy packing...well, er, maybe more wishing the two of you the strength and sanity to get you on through.

Best,

Yuk. My post didn't post 🫤

OCR is simply a scanning software to digitise pages of books, and A4 is the standard European size for a notebook - about 200 mm by 190mm, I think.

I like your nerdy interest! And yes, we certainly do!

You can ask! History and Theology, and History and Literature. We cover different periods, though 😊

Thank you! We'll get there!!

I'll be flying home to spend some time with my parents. I'm also planning on adopting a dog.

Hope that you enjoy your time with your parents.  Is the adoption having to do with a companion for your current dog or did I miss something?  Cats can be good companions too...animals often form bonds--particularly with young ones.  ;)

What happened to Leah?  Last I knew, you were working on her separation-anxiety and things seemed (if I'm recalling correctly) to be going better?  :(

The potty training, separation anxiety, and destructive behavior... none of it improved, and I returned her to the shelter back in December. I think I was also too quick to adopt a new dog. I needed more time to grieve. I wasn't honest with myself.

I'm so sorry to hear that.  The little bit that I know about you, I'm sure that you tried your very best and did your best to make it work out.  It's hard when pets die and you're struggling with the balance between grieving and really wanting a new pet and to be a good owner to them.  💔

You'll find a new pal at the right time and you'll be a great pet owner/daddy--again.
