Good morning all. Been lurking a bit today on my Noise as I have had it open but not had much chance to do anything apart from a couple of responses. Busy morning today.
@rah
@rah in September 2022
@rah
@rah
I know I only posted yesterday, but I couldn't resist this one. Yesterday was the first day we truly emerged into the Post-Covid world and that means it was the first time Toddl-Rah ever experienced a shop or shopping mall. So we are now bringing him out of his shell (literally!)
@rah
Does anybody know how to change email settings on their Noise account. I thought it would just be account settings, but that only shows wallet settings.
@rah
Almost had Toddl-Rah ready for bed and he decided to pee on me. First time for a long while and hopefully the last time ever! lol
@rah
Latest Update from Celsius __________________________________________ As we move forward through our restructuring, we participated in our third day hearing earlier today. We appreciated the opportunity to hear from many of the key stakeholders in our Chapter 11 process and engage in dialogue on several timely and important matters. We continue to focus on maximizing value for all stakeholders, and we today took what we hope to be a positive first step towards meeting the…
@rah
$3 of Near token available on Coinbase Earn. Converted mine straight to BTC as has been my habit in recent times.
@rah
No comment necessary
@rah
It is now 3rd September and no sign of my BitCoinker BTC being transferred yet even though I am well passed the minimmum withdrawal threshold.
@rah
Again the imbalance is growing so little time and so little noise I took Toddlrah all morning until 2 and lets just say the free time I afforded another wasnt that well utilised and that other wanted more time
@rah
MamaRah wants to drag me out this afternoon so not only will I be slightly time delayed but completely miss the race and have to watch it later. Which in turn means not going on Noise as the community will be (quite rightly) speaking about the race. So all in all not looking great - although I will try to resist! lol
@rah
Seems I am able to watch the race after all - time lapsed as usual for these midafternoon ones unfortunately
@rah
So in the end I will make lights out but will fall behind maybe after an hour or so.
@rah
Ferarri apparently are thinking of switching to a 3 wheel strategy WTF lol
@rah
Genuinely feel that the Mercs were robbed today by race circumstances. Having said that at least the Bottas breakdown proved to be more significant than the Tsunoda stupidity!
@rah
Seems MamaRah is having some probs putting Toddl-Rah down unless she has fallen asleep with him. Has given me a bit of writing time. Although now i have said that she will probably come through.
@rah
,,, and right on cue she came out 30 seconds later
@rah
And so another week begins. Woke up this morning with a sore throat. Bad night last night and not because of Toddl-Rah. Just couldnt sleep. Hope that is the reason for my sore throat
@rah
Bitcoinker still have not paid out so for now I am going to reduce my claims to just a few a day to keep my bonuses active until such time that I see that they do pay out or decide that they are not paying. I have checked reviews and they seem to be a mixed. time will tell
@rah
Being a Game of Thrones fan I watched the first episode of House of the Dragon and was far from convinced, but determined to stick with it. Episode 2 reached me and now I have seen episode 3 I think I can say I am hooked. Only I will never look at a crab in the same way again!
@rah
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-62795976 Good news hopefully the Russian manipulated referendum for joining Russia will be postponed forever as they get their asses kicked out.
@rah
MamaRah just had a titanic battle with Toddl-Rah to get him down for his nap, but at least he is down for now - don't want to curse it!
@rah
1162 words written for now for book 3 - now coming in at 87,152 words maybe more later. We will see how time allows
@rah
So we are now six days into the month and still no sign of a payout by BitCoinker!
@rah
Just reproofing book 2 and came across this little gem when Ania dances. ______________________________ Slowly I began to rock back and forth and move as my heart connected with my mind and gave me the beat I was looking for. It was primordial, instinctive and animalistic and as I moved my humanity faded and I become one with my desires. The steady thud became louder and resonated in my brain and I was possessed. Now I’d found my place and I felt alive.…
@rah
Maintaining my business website is proving to be expensive. It went from £140 last year to £250 this year. It doesnt generate leads and only works as a Resource Centre so a big task I have now is to migrate all of my resources to a Free Wordpress that I created a few years ago. As a free site it will be more limited unfortunately
@rah
Hope I dont have the dreaded covid again. I started feeling ill on Monday and am slowly getting worse. I think it's just a head cold, but that's bad enough especially when Toddl-Rah plays up for MamaRah and only seems to behave better for me.
@rah
He may just be mad enough to think like this...
@rah
Very green across the board today - is this being driven by the ETH Merge?
@rah
Sometimes I call Toddl-Rah Sweet Pea and he was being cute so I described his behaviour as "sweetpeaness" only when I said it out loud it all came out wrong!
@rah
Very saddened by the death of the Queen. She represents so much to the people of the UK and probably to many in the UK A sad day.
@rah
So while murdering babies in Ukraine Putin somehow found time to write the following to King Charles III on the passing of his our beloved Queen Elizabeth II Your Majesty, Please accept our deepest condolences on the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. The most important events in the recent history of the United Kingdom are inextricably linked with the name of Her Majesty. For many decades, Elizabeth II rightfully enjoyed the love and respect of her subjects, as well as…
@rah
Got a couple of issues with my free Wordpress site that I am now using to replace my paid one - main menu create a drop down ( I know how to do this drag and drop) but now the top item goes to a posts page even though I selected categories. I dont want it to go anywhere. Just want it to be the "gateway" to the drop down items - image alignment. I know how to do this on classic editor but on block editor if I want to align left or right of text I dont know how to do this.…
@rah
"She lived her destiny" - King Charles III What an incredible statement to make over somebody's life
@rah
Chain token now available on Coinbase Earn. As has become my habit in recent times I have converted it to deflated BCH in the hope to turn that $3 into at least $10 :D
@rah
A bit too early to declare the bears are hibernating, but still it is progress esp compared to when I did the Celsius Write Off
@rah
had my first ever meaningful conversation with Toddl-Rah today just short of 17 months. He didnt want to put his socks on and I explained to him we were going out for a walk and showed him his buggy and he immediately said "bah" (his favourite "word") before sitting on my lap and trying to put his own socks on. In fairness he has been responding to instructions for a while. he even goes to get his own nappy change stuff and put it away when we ask him. BTW this is NOT…
@rah
You already know what i am going to write. Due to Toddl-Rah's routine and eating I will once again be watching the race today somewhat behind the action :(
@rah
End of the race turned into a bit of a damp squib, but I think the positions were already fixed and nothing would have changed barring tech failure or a crash.
@rah
Bit of a nothing day today tbh - even the F1 was a bit of a disappointment, but lets see if tomorrow brings something better.
@rah
Nice sentiment using a picture made famous during the platinum anniversary celebrations back in June
@rah
Trying to write a new article for P0x today - let's see if I get time.
@rah
Toddl-Rah turned 17 months old today so here is my P0x article on how well he is doing and how we are aiming to create an independent and capable child https://www.publish0x.com/rah/our-amazing-little-miracle-xnnnpmg
@rah
Migration of website going well if slowly. Managed to unify my menus today too - they spread over two domains using two different themes (dont ask!)
@rah
Problem with plumbing today and so Toddl-Rah went without a bath tonight and it was catastrophic for putting him down. 90 minutes!!!
@rah
After the dullness of rain and clouds in recent days today is promising to be a bit warmer. Shame I am working and then have a scan to go to, to get to the route course of my daily post-covid headaches.
@rah
So today I went to have an MRI scan on my brain to see if we can figure out what my post - covid headaches are all about. Results and follow up visit with neurologist on 26th Sept.
@rah
So this morning I have done the final contractual signoffs for Novel number 1 - The Confession - and I should have a publishing date very soon. Exciting times!
@rah
Too good not to share
@rah
An hour and a half to get Toddl-Rah down tonight and in the last couple of weeks he has become so naughty. His favourite trick. Throwing toys at the TV. if He breaks it he will lose his pocket money for his entire life to pay for it! And I will remind him every day!
@rah
Going to the inlaws for the weekend... ...hope it goes better than the last time we spent time together.
@rah
So it is official. The Confession, my first novel is coming out on 31st October! Received notification today. And here is the finalised cover! So excited!
@rah

@rah
got another small problem with one of my new WP sites. There are no widgets on the template I am using and it doesn't come with a search box as standard - any work arounds?
@rah
I really do torment my poor protaganist (from the already approved Book 2 - The Hard Road Back - the sequel to The Confession) Her inner voice that constantly attacks her esteem _______________________ I hear your every thought. I am you and you are me. I have every right to be here you can shout at me and scream all you like, but I will always be that echo, that shadow in your darkness and that whisper in your ear. _______________________ Her demon!
@rah
Toddl-Rah yesterday helping us to get ready to go and see his grandparents.
@rah
Went out for a walk this morning and came across this - seems like a job half done to me. (The ramp)
@rah
Look out Toddl-Rah. Triceratops may be a "vegesauraus" but those horns are still sharp!
@rah
So I have now decided that BitCoinker is a waste of space that does not pay out. Can you tell when i gave up? I will keep doing a couple of claims a day until it rolls over into the new month to see if it pays out then but I have no reason to believe it will because I was well across the minimum threshold at the beginning of September and now it is the 17th and no payment has been forthcoming. I only apologise to those four people who used my referral link - maybe your…
@rah
Website now about 2/3rds migrated to its new free wordpress and some parts are looking better for it.
@rah
Banks and Tax offices are crazy where I live. I now have to prove my bank account is ACTUALLY my bank account! It is a mad mad world!
@rah
Just exceeded 90,000 words with novel number 3. I have left some of the chapter titles in as a little teaser.
@rah
Traveling home today and MamaRah might come back so she can spend more time with her family before our forthcoming trip to England
@rah
MamaRah and Toddl-Rah are staying a few more days at the inlaws so I have some time for myself but plenty of work to do
@rah
Chance to sleep in a bit with MamaRah and Toddl-Rah being away and still woke up early. Guess having a baby resets your body clock even if you want to sleep
@rah
Since I am up so early and start work at 9.20 I am watching The Pianst, the remarkable story of Wladyslaw Szpilman, a Jew who survived in Warsaw during the Second World War. A very powerful and moving film and to be recommended if you haven't already seen it. One of the things that makes it stand out is the humanity of certain individuals in such bleak times without the stereotyping that culminates with the "helpful German". Doesn't matter what religion you are (or not) it…
@rah
Just finished Migrating all of my Resources off my old Paid website, now I just need to sort out the Navigation! At least now I can stop paying!
@rah
So now I have deleted my orginal business site. All resources moved I just need to tidy it up a bit. At least none of the materials will be lost.
@rah
And with family away tonight's choice of film is The Sum of All Fears which I recently refereneced in a P0x article
@rah
Just why? Zoom in to see what happens after about 20 metres if your not sure what I am trying to show you.
@rah
Putin comes to mind when I see this just read "another country"
@rah
Early start and busy morning today and then an afternoon off, but plenty to do. Need to tidy up the flat before MamaRah comes home on Saturday.
@rah
No sho for my third client - they get billed anyway. My gain their loss!
@rah
I love the last sentence in this sequence, which I have just written __________________________ With heart pounding, I felt desperately alone, weak and vulnerable. I needed Dominika, but didn’t want to wake her. I just needed to know she was still there, by my side where belongs, and when I saw her lying there motionless in the embrace of gentle sleep I was reassured and settled. ________________________ Hope you like it as much as I do!
@rah
Today is tidy up day - MamaRah and Toddl-Rah are coming home tomorrow. Always nice to come back to a clean home and it is good for our marriage too!
@rah
Beginning to get a bit of a handle on the navigation of my new look business website. Pain to have to do it, but it is going better than I thought and I am saving at least £250 a year in doing so!
@rah
Last day before MamaRah and Toddl-Rah come home so I am now just over half way through watching The Hobbit trilogy by Peter Jackson. A bit overlong to be honest but I'd never get the chance otherwise
@rah
BIG CHANGES AFOOT NOW WE HAVE A NEW KING IN BRITAIN Now that we have a King, ceremonial events will take a lot longer as he can only move one square at a time lol
@rah
Family coming home today - have to make sure everything is tidy!
@rah
So with MamaRah coming home today I have prepared a little something to make her feel special. BTW I never buy her flowers because I get hay-fever so that in itself is a big thing.
@rah
Got really annoyed yesterday about the UK government's U-turn on Fracking. Find out why in my latest P0x post https://www.publish0x.com/rah/what-the-frack-xlqgljl
@rah
My latest P0x has done a bit better than some of my other recents ones and I gained a new follower so thanks people :D
@rah
Wasnt able to put the little one down to sleep last night after being out of his routine for 9 days but just managed now for his nap.
@rah
After last night's disaster and today's nap time success it falls on me once again to try to get Toddl-Rah down. Hope it goes better than last night - although it is hard to imagine it going any worse!
@rah
Been to the neurologist this morning and the MRI the other week has shown some slight abnormality within my inner brain, but it is still within acceptable parameters so I need to take some supplements and monitor it through controlled visits. Seems I am ok though
@rah
According to at least one news source this is how Russia will end the war. I quote - "Russia officially wins the "special military operation", and suffers defeats with NATO, not - Ukraine - such a message has recently been coming out of the Russian media."
@rah
Got an indeterminate amount of writing time as MamaRah wrestles Toddl-Rah to sleep. Time to tackle the elephant in the room. Namely the most difficult chapter of the whole Book (3)
@rah
Maybe it is a bit naughty of me to say, but people really should think through their user names (and by posting this I have probably got her a lot of new followers!)
@rah
Managed to get a bit of the hardest chapter done last night about 1500 words. It is all progress even if I end up chopping back a lot when it comes to editing.
@rah
Am I good at this writing or am I good! ___________________________________ {She took] my face into her hands and looking me in the eyes. She always does this when I absolutely have to listen and as is often the case, even though I want to look away and break her steady gaze I find myself unable to. Her eyes were blazing with her power and authority and yet at the same time there was a softness born of compassion and love of the purist kind.…
@rah
Toddl-Rah had another dose of vaccines yesterday and was really cranky after, but I am pleased to say he seems fine today. Yesterday I got the most difficult part of book three drafted and now I just need to write another chapter to tie it all together. Book 3 is definitely going to be longer than the first two.
@rah
One session tonight and then two more working days before I (we) go home for the first time in three years
@rah
My Portfolio value as increased just a bit because of the weakness of the pound!
@rah
Not much noise today, to much to do and too many tasks. Maybe more tomorrow. I am not particularly commenting on the market at the moment because after Celsius I have little choice but to HODL until the bulls start really running again. At least most of my assets are staking at an average of 4.8% and while that is hardly inflation busting at least it is something and all of my held assets are currently at between 25-30% of their all time highs so with the natural increases…
@rah
What the hell just happened - and more importantly how can I "appeal" it?
@rah
I left my P0x for a few hours and it appears to have unblocked itself. No idea what triggered the blocking though in the first place.
@rah
So it has been decided by secret referendum that the former Duchy of Moscow will be annexed back into the buxom of it's proto-slavic roots. Namely Kyiv. Zelenskyy is delighted. Putin would be laughable if the situation wasn't so scary
