I don’t like Rum,

I don’t like rum either, but my wife went to Cuba with our daughter couple years ago and brought me a bottle of craft Cuban rum. That was the best drink I’ve had in my life, and I am very picky when it comes to spirits. This thing beats Glennfidich 18, my favourite scotch. I can’t remember the name for the love of God and I didn’t keep the bottle

[peepeep]

Here’s to good spirits!

Salute Frog Man

@towelkingdom scarce again, lately.

Wassamattaforher??

[carverofchoice]

Towel Queen is a super busy lady in recent times. I know some of why, but will leave it up to her how much she says publicly.

[peepeep]

May I ask you a somewhat tangential question?

[carverofchoice]

No.

Okay, j/k. You may always ask, and I will likely respond, but I may not “answer” all questions.

For example, you may ask for my financial account/security info, and I may respond, but I won’t give you the “answer”… Similarly,You may also ask me about someone else, but if the answer is for them to share, or not kind, I may not give it myself. But you may always ask.

[StevenA]

Towelkingdom did share some info with us last fall. I remember this thread because I was in the hospital about the same time. I had a nerve condition and have fully recovered. I hope towelkingdom can say the same.

Hi all! (A Quick Post to Reiterate I'm Still Here)

I know some of y’all have noticed I’d been away for some time. Just dropping in to say I’m still here, and hoping to be more active in the coming months. 2023 was bound and determined to take me out but I’m still here! Had emergency surgery and a few hospital stays between July and September but I’m on the mend and feeling pretty good now. I’ve missed coming here and keeping up with everyone and everything.

[peepeep]

That is sound policy. Thank you.

[peepeep]

I think I will claim to have been the first person on the forum to ask if I may ask a question. That is my achievement. Celebrate me.

Actually, I like the way it felt. I did have a question but upon reflection (time for which my requesting permission afforded) I no longer needed or wanted to ask.

And I don’t think I’ve ever said ‘may I.’ 'Twould usually be ‘can.’

These are constructive developments. Perhaps we’ve turned a corner.

Hmm, I am not sure that is accurate. Here are some contenders though depending on what counts as asking if you can ask:

July 2020:

@peepeep

can I ask a question?

VS Sep 2018:

@WyzeLi

May I ask

Feb 2019:

@ashjas

BTW may i ask,

Another July 2020:

@texasthowd13

May I ask?

Dec 2018:

@qmic76

I want to ask a question

July 2019:

@bear1629

I don’t appear to be alone in this, and wanted to … ask a question that has probably already been answered somewhere.

Dec 2019:

@jmcguire525

If I may also ask a question

There are several others, but there is space to argue that all of the above mean you may NOT qualify as the first person to ask if you may ask a question.

@peepeep

I don’t think I’ve ever said ‘may I.’ ’

Sorry, to be the one to inform you of your memory, but you have:

@peepeep

BTW, may I ask to what your handle refers?

@peepeep

May I ask if you would be much disturbed

@peepeep

Extending the above, may I ask something?

@peepeep

May I speculate

So much for NEVER.

@peepeep

I did have a question but upon reflection (time for which my requesting permission afforded) I no longer needed or wanted to ask…Perhaps we’ve turned a corner.

OMG…did you finally learn “restraint” and mastery over your inhibitions in your old age? That is actually something I will celebrate with you, my friend! Half of society NEVER learns that. Congratulations! I am very proud of your new achievement!

Nothin but

my froggy friend.

[peepeep]

[carverofchoice]

I brought receipts.

Butcher of Ignorance. And Illusions.

[peepeep]

Whoops. May I exert playful pressure on you to host a topic for the good of the community?

And now that @StevenA is fully recovered he’s fit to host the Wyze Jeopardy topic he’s been deferring. No time like the present, old chap!

(C’mon, Steven, no one has ever done anything I’ve suggested they do, you could break the streak! )

[StevenA]

Your first sentence above seems vague to me. If you are saying I should start some Wyze Forum threads, it is rare but I do occasionally. Only if I feel the Wyze community might be interested in a thread I create. This one comes to mind.

Dear Abby: He put security cameras everywhere

I will confess: I check my Wyze cameras frequently. I like to post about birds and animals on the Wyze forum (and help other users if possible). My wife asked me to install cameras facing our street a couple of years ago because we had a creepy guy late at night sitting in our street. I NEVER keep logs on my family or neighbors. Thought I would share today’s Dear Abby if you have not seen it.

I am not a big fan of Jeopardy (all though I do watch it occasionally). My Jeopardy comment was in response to your “No questions will be answered in this thread” discussion. Wyze Jeopardy came to mind.

If no questions will be answered then maybe the answer comes first.
Example:
“This Wyze camera was one of the latest to be supported on Cam Plus Lite”

“What is a V3?”.

[peepeep]

Yah, you seem little amused, so the main thrust of the comment has failed.

One of these days I’ll ask and someone will answer the call. Not today. Ok.

P.S. I hate Jeopardy, but I think it’s a natural for on-topic (WYZE STUFF!) competitive play. I mean, I won’t play it, because I hate it, but that may be something to feature: a thread in which won’t be involved!

[peepeep]

( It’s possible, of course, that Steven’s employing extremely dry humor, in which case, I’ve missed it (not really, I left open the possibility but sallied forth despite) but really is that fair, dry humor sucks the life from amphibian skin and makes me less pliant, not something anyone nice should ever aim for )

(Meta-analysis to follow in ten parts. Guess who? )

[StevenA]

50% of my postings above are humor. The other 50% is trying to digest your statements or questions and respond in a mindful manner. Both halves make this forum enjoyable for me.

[ssummerlin]

Wow. This is a long thread.
