A difficult part of life, my condolences.
Some time back, a good friend sent me this:
A Keeper
Their marriage was good, their dreams focused.
Their best friends lived barely a wave away.
I can see them now,
Dad in trousers, tee shirt and a hat and Mom in a house dress,
lawn mower in one hand, and dish-towel in the other.
It was the time for fixing things.
A curtain rod, the kitchen radio, screen door, the oven door, the hem in a dress.
Things we keep.
It was a way of life, and sometimes it made me crazy.
All that re-fixing, eating, renewing,
I wanted just once to be wasteful.
Waste meant affluence.
Throwing things away meant you knew there would always be more.
But then my mother died, and on that clear summer's night,
in the warmth of the hospital room,
I was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't any more.
Sometimes, what we care about most gets all used up and goes away...
never to return.
So... While we have it... it's best we love it...
And care for it.... And fix it when it's broken.....
And heal it when it's sick.
This is true...
For marriage....
And old cars....
And children with bad report cards.....
Dogs and cats with bad hips....
And aging parents....
And grandparents.
We keep them because they are worth it, because we are worth it.
Some things we keep.
Like a best friend that moved away or a classmate we grew up with.
There are just some things that make life important, like people we know who are special....
And so, we keep them close!
I received this from someone who thinks I am a 'keeper',
so I've sent it to the people I think of in the same way...
Good friends are like stars....
You don't always see them, but you know they are always there
People are made to be Loved and Things are made to be Used
There is so much confusion in this World because
People are being Used
and
Things are being Loved.
Be kind... everyone you meet is fighting a terrible battle.
Thanks for being part of MY life!

Well, I have one foot out the door and I'm Ok with that, but I would like to see my kids before I go. I asked my daughter if she's waiting for my funeral to see me again.

I'd like to talk to you privately but somehow that feature has been lost. Or I'm having a brain fart. It's been an elephanting tough 3 months.
we're on the forum, so I'm sure someone will chime in

I have known this since i lost my first brother at 35 and then my second at 35. I am safely past 35 now. past 50. But it still worries me each day for my children and my wife. I value each moment as much as i can. Life is short people

Is driving me INSANE.
50% of the time I try and click on the left of a line to select the entire line, the Git compare window pops up and I've lost my spot, my train of thought, and my Zen calm. A "no, I really, really don't want the Git hair trigger selecter" option would be really nice.

Tell me about it. We used VS2008 as our primary development tool until a year or so ago. Stop gagging. We updated to VS2019, and it's taken serious research and time to turn off most of the silly gew-gaws and visual noise. With all of the tooltips and text fragments attached to your source code, you couldn't see the code itself.
The notion of updating to VS2022 does not excite me.

Yes!! Thank you.
I think the idea is sound. But the constant accidental triggering was driving me spare. There's an option to make it trigger on double-click which is perfect. It's there when you need it, not when you don't need it.
I would love it if they had right-click access to settings at the point you need it, not buried so deep. You told me where to find it and it still took some dedicated looking to actually spot it.
cheers

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!" - Hunter S Thompson - RIP
