INTERNET IS DOWN! I NEEDS A HELP!

Airport is showing up, but is giving me a status of "Double NAT" which I have never seen before.

It tells me " The airport base station has a private IP address on its Ethernet WAN port. It is connected to a device or network that is using Network Address Translation to provide private IP addresses. Change your Airport base station from using DHCP and NAT. To bridge mode."

I did that still no internet.

I'd intended to go try the new steakhouse a couple blocks away that has great word of mouth, but after seeing the parking lot had zero spaces and several trucks circling around waiting for one to open up, I decided to drive to Paragould for Italian instead. Probably won't be doing that again, it was OK but not worth an hour round trip.

re: omnis--I want us to win this one.

Crossing fingers for omnis.

Whoo, getting 4 unused litter boxes out of the house this week. Scrubbed one and it'll be picked up tomorrow, 3 more this weekend.

Small steps.

(skipping a lot) If anyone wants a pussyhat (or any other small crocheted thing), a friend of mine is selling crocheted stuff. Zie has a leg injury, which means both a lot of time sitting down, and a lot of extra medical bills, and zie crochets really cool stuff, so if you want something, let me know, and I'll get you in touch. (Or, comment on my Facebook post where I posted about it.)

So, I'm hearing word from my inside source that the White House is trying to make a number of jobs redundant at the NSA. They are civil servants and can't be fired as such. But the jobs can be eliminated.

Why would he do that?

Totally makes me think like he's actively treasonous and working for Putin's interests.

Then again, he's actively trying to undermine the intelligence agencies.

It smells bad.

I just remembered that I do know someone who works at the NSA. But I haven't spoken to her in years, and she kind of hated me then, so I probably won't find out anything from her.

My grandfather (20 years at NSA after 20 in the Navy) must be rolling in his grave.

Surival~ and recovery~ma to Omnis.

Yeah, dismantling the EPA and NPS isn't out of line with Trump's alleged political affiliation (unfortunately). The NSA, though? That's weird. And worrisome.

Sending so much ~ma for omnis.

My batshitcrazy co-worker, who is brilliant and capable so beloved despite the batshitcraziness, had an amazing recovery from cancer. Since she suffers from the BSC she didn't believe in the big pharma/medicine machine and refused to go to a doctor for decades. She had a lump in her breast which was quite visible when she showed the other women in the office because she was probably right around 90 pounds at the time. She is 5'7" so basically a tall skeleton. She would respond to suggestions that a doctor might be a good plan with lectures on this awesome natural cure and that one that The Man is hiding from us. Finally only after her lung collapsed from the intrusion her DH got her to go to the ER. She changed her tune after this and agreed to do whatever the oncologist told her. She was too weak to have even the mildest chemo so the first task was to fatten her up and build her strength. Doc put her on the synthetic pot to give her an appetite (which she supplemented with permission), and told her to eat everything that she had told herself was bad for her. Double cheeseburgers with fries and a milkshake please. After some time she was strong enough to go on a super lightweight oral chemo and her response was incredible. They even had her do a whole bunch of additional genetic type tests because her response was so perfect that they wanted her profile for future cases. She had zero side affects. She now is a healthy 135 lbs and all her screenings are cancer free. She is however still BSC for which there is no cure.
