[Ag-eq] {Spam?} The BlanchRanch Bulletin for October 2016

[Nella Foster]

Jewel as always you are full of good stories.

Apple is really starting to annoy me with their constant download demands.
It seems to be happening every few days now.

I am going to start looking in my mail box for mysterious eggs.  So far the
only unusual thing I've found in there was a very large family of ants.
They seemed to have moved in after a down pour.  The mail box must have been
just like a high rise for them.

I tell you that Guideon needs to host an exercise show.  I'm sure he would
be a big hit.

Subject: [Ag-eq] {Spam?} The BlanchRanch Bulletin for October 2016


I was, happily, sitting here, a few nights ago, playing my game, when Apple
broke in and announced that there would be an update installed on my phone
at some ungodly hour the following morning but if I had my phone connected
to the power, Apple would do it, all on its own, so my rest need not be
interrupted.
I thought that Apple was planning to install an updated version of
iAssociate, which was the game I was playing, so I did as I was bid and when
I turned the phone on in the  morning, I was instructed to "place finger",
"place finger where or on what?" was my query to which there was no reply,
so I placed my finger on the home button and the phone responded with a
buzz.  "Lift finger" was the next instruction, and this went on for hours:
with my placing my finger and then lifting it.  I
exaggerate!   I am sure that it was a minute or two short of an hour or so,
then I got the message:
"Change grip;  photo shows person holding the phone in the right hand with
thumb on home button.
For crying out loud, if it wanted me to place my thumb on the home button,
why did it say "Place * finger"?
Anyway, after placing my * thumb on the home button, I discovered that what
I had been, unknowingly, setting up was touch id, which is the very last
thing I want, and then it came to entering a passcode, which seems to be
different to a password.
However, after applying the mighty Blanch brain to the question, I worked
out that it was a 4/6 digit number that was being

asked for, so, to this end, I typed in a string of digits, but, when I went
to enter it so as to be able to get out of the

setup screen and to settings to disable the nonsense, it seems that the
string of digits I had entered differed, markedly,

to the string of digits I had cemented in the mighty aforementioned.
I tried every method known to mankind to get around this anti-theft lock,
but I couldn't which, of course, is just what it

should be because if one could get around it, what would be its use?  It
would be akin to having an impregnable safe and

then leaving the key in the lock.
My tame computer expert put on his Apple iPhone hat and as he uses a Samsung
Galaxy, is not that of an * expert, who said

that he would have a look at it and see what he could do.
I left the phone out in the mailbox for Cody to collect, but when Pearl, my
homehelp, came in a little while later, she

said that, in front of the hone, there was a small blue egg with white
spots.
I am prepared to take an oath that there was no egg in the mailbox when I
placed the phone there? 
What bird lays a small

blue egg with white spots on it and, to boot,  in a bare metal mailbox?
There is a male blackbird around here who I swear, has befriended me because
he is wherever I am, and seems to fly from

perch to perch, following me as I move around the section.
Did he pick up an egg out of his mate's nest and put it in the mailbox as a
gift?  after I had left the phone out there!

or is what I have always believed was a usb slot in the bottom of the phone,
in reality,  an ovipossitor  for the long-

believed-to-be-extinct fiercesome Phonosaurus Maximus?
Several hours later:  Sad  to report the long-believed-to-be-extinct
Phonosaurus Maximus is, no longer, the long-believed-

extinct Phonosaurus Maximus but is now the quite-definitely-extinct
Phonosaurus Maximus and the final blow to its existence

was brought about in this fashion.
The mail person arrived at my mailbox bearing a parcel from the United
States of America which, by employing much artefice

and subterfuge, I had, eventually, got out of the aforesaid to my address in
God's Own, and once having arrived at my

mailbox, the mail person had then dumped the parcel right on top of the
precious egg!  See how easy it is to annihilate a

species!!
Now, leaving the world of locked iPhones etc, let me tell you about some of
Guideon's goings-on.
I was standing at the table getting his dinner ready, when the table began
to shake!  *** EARTHQUAKE
*** was my first

thought, but then it struck me that the rest of the wooden house wasn't
creaking as one would expect it to do in an

earthquake and the shaking seemed to be going on for a, prodigiously, long
time and was very regular, and then another

thought struck me, and I reached to where my PowerFit machine is which is on
the floor at the end of the table, and there

was Guideon, having turned it on, happily bouncing up and down on it.  He
loves the machine and does seem to know just

where to put his paw to start it going.
I was listening to The Chaser, Australia" this morning and one of the
questions was:  "In one of Juliette's speeches in

Romeo and Juliette, she says "Romeo, Oh Romeo!  wherefore are thou!"  what
does wherefore mean?" 
Aloud I said "where are

you?"  and Guideon pushed his nose into my hand, obviously saying to me,
"Here I am!".

Well, I think that that is all for this BRB.
