She said "Yes", also via instant message.

<3 :-) <3

I at first planned to take her to some romantic place such as a beach at sunset, but last night our Facebook Messenger chat seemed to be the right time and place.

She's from some - I won't tell you where because she's very shy - other country. I'm going to get her a fiancé visa. I don't know the procedure yet but I handled Bonita's green card completely on my own. I expect I can figure out how to smuggle her into the US despite the National Guard.

I'm going to start shopping for a ring soon. When I complete my contract I will have the ducats required to buy it. I won't take out a loan.

The Western Digital WD Black 3D NAND SSD Review: EVO Meets Its Match

Very fast sequential speeds and high IOPS. Endurance could be problematic (600 TB for the 1 TB model, calculated as 0.3 DWPD). I wonder what that ratio will be for QLC 3D NAND SSDs.

Western Digital bought SanDisk in 2016.

She doesn't have a computer, and if she did she wouldn't know how to use it.

So I'm going to buy her a laptop and a HOWTO book with lots of color pictures.

I was at first going to get her a Windows box because where she lives there wouldn't be any shops that service Macs.

But now I expect to go there and live with her.

That led me to look into a MacBook for her. But a MacBook costs what would be three month's rent where she lives. But I really don't want to get her a Windows box. My Acer is good as laptops go but for me using Windows is like pounding nails with my fists.

But I figure that if I set her up with Linux Mint - or maybe even Puppy - she would be completely unaware that Linux Will Never Be Ready For The Desktop and so be perfectly happy with The Penguin.

What's your take? Linux from scratch?

$GAY_AS_OLD_PAREE: "Hi!"

$MICHAEL_DAVID_CRAWFORD: "Hi. I can't chat right now I'm talking with my girlfriend."

$GAY_AS_OLD_PAREE: "Do you sex?"

$MICHAEL_DAVID_CRAWFORD: "No."

$GIRLFRIEND wants me to move in with her. Where she lives housing is much less expensive than even Vantucky.

Either we will rent a house, or we will buy a vacant lot and I will build a house.

I actually know how to, because my father taught me how to use every kind of tool. I already have all the tools I would need; I even have a full-sized table saw.

I would need a helper, and I'd get someone else to do the foundation.

Maybe I'll build a geodesic dome. Bonita said she would refuse to live in such a Fullerian home, but quite likely $GIRLFRIEND would be into it.

The Hell is a homeless guy doing with a table saw? You quite reasonably ask. When my father died my mother asked what I wanted to inherit. "His tools," I replied. She paid for the storage.

I'm probably going to sell the auto body tools. Those were given to my grandfather by his best friend, because his best friend had no heirs.

Viral Photo Of Hockey Player Breastfeeding Baby Sparks Debate Among Social Media Users

Online tumult over breastfeeding photo challenges stigmas, highlights hurdles

Furor Over Alberta Hockey Player's Breastfeeding Pic Proves Stigma Still Exists: Experts

Not manic. Not yet anyway.

There is a woman in my life now. She is very religious, so I have the idea that I'm going to get up in six hours.

Doubtlessly AC will find some fault with her. Perhaps he will suggest she's inflatable

She lives far away. I'm going to visit when I get paid

I had a long distance relationship once before. That works a lot better now because even video calls don't cost anything

She is very shy so I won't be tell you much about her

I would prefer to stay up all night but I promised her I wouldn't do that anymore

So far she seems mentally stable: she hasn't said anything about wanting to have my baby

I really am trying to help her. Last time she was clearly trouble or by her mind

But at the same time I advised her that I am not the man she is so urgently seeking

Crazed girls flood Parkland school shooter Nikolas Cruz with fan mail

Mass murderer Nikolas Cruz is getting stacks of fan mail and love letters sent to the Broward County jail, along with hundreds of dollars in contributions to his commissary account.

Teenage girls, women and even older men are writing to the Parkland school shooter and sending photographs — some suggestive — tucked inside cute greeting cards and attached to notebook paper with offers of friendship and encouragement. Groupies also are joining Facebook communities to talk about how to help the killer.

The South Florida Sun Sentinel obtained copies of some of the letters showing that Cruz, who had few friends in the outside world, is now being showered with attention.

(Note that I'm still using iOS 10.0.1. In general I am quite hesitant to update any of my software if I'm happy with the version I've got.)

I will attach a sysdiagnose log when I get home this evening.

Summary:

This only happened to me once during the most of a year that I have owned my iPhone 7. It is likely to be quite difficult for you to reproduce.

The combination lock screen and home touch sensor were unresponsive, leading me to believe that my unit was hung.

Pressing the side button once - to turn off the video - then again - to turn the video back on - restored normal operation.

Steps to Reproduce:

Log into an iPhone 7.

Configure your device to use the six-digit combination lock.

Use some apps for a little while. Mostly I use Safari and the Music app.

Press the side button to darken the display.

Press the side button again to light up the display.

Press the home touch sensor to display the combination lock screen.

Touch all the buttons. There is no response.

Touch the home touch sensor. There is no response.

Press the side button to darken the display.

Press the side button again, to light up the display.

The combination lock screen now works normally.

Expected Results:

The buttons on the combination lock screen would respond to finger touches.

Actual Results:

None of the buttons on the combination lock screen responded to touches.

Version/Build:

iPhone 7 Model MNA62LL/A

iOS 10.0.1 (14A403)
