Currently word has gone around that the doctor has told my mother to eat ice cream and now everyone is turning up with bricks of it!

Yum! And ice cream can be so easily shared, too. Just sneak a few scoops to "test it out" and such.

Glad to hear that it went well, and I hope the medical / dental stuff is sorted quickly.

There are really no downsides whatsoever to having a house full of ice cream!

Chicken broth.

I managed to stay up an xtra 2 hours last night so was able to see Venus rising for the first time in 2 years. It's better then the setting. Such a brilliant jewel in the sky to look at.

Chicken broth is actually a great idea BK. I will suggest it tomorrow.

Finished Mass Effect yesterday and this time around I was able to transfer my character into Mass Effect 2.

Bonus is that ME2 works with Cloud Saves now like Andromeda does so I can switch in between playing on my desktop and my laptop.

Rain on the long weekend? What rain?

I'm fairly sure I haven't had such bad sunburn in a while. But good times, and I'm mostly feeling ok. Might even make it to work on time. Although Sun to Mon I only slept like 4 h, yest I crashed around 1ish, and slept the full 8 hours, so feeling decently refreshed.

I'm on a roll man, 3 nights of staying up for that beautiful planet in the sky!

Can y'all imagine the view of Venus, Earth and the Moon from Mercury? That would be so bright. This is because from there you would see the full planets since they are outside from it in orbit. It would like a yellow, blue& white balls of gleaming fire.

Why haven't I invested in a good amateur telescope as much as I sit and stargaze at night? Stupid Tanner.

Technically, the view from Mercury would be terrible. The atmosphere is 1) lethal and 2) has way too many clouds of deadly gases to make the stars and planets visible. >.>

Just saying.

It looks like I'm gonna avoid having my back peel due to sunburn. And because it wasn't a terrible burn, it's now converted into a half-decent tan. WIN!

Just saying.

Mercury, like our Moon, has no atmosphere to speak of. You're thinking of Venus. The view of the outer Solar System from Mercury's dark side would be spectacular, but it's like the second coldest place in the SS, so bundle up!

Ah, you're right. Though also, Mercury does get rather hot during the day iirc. OK, just Wiki'd and yes, it can reach 400+C at the equator during the day. So you're either freezing to death or melting. Yay. XD
