Good morning everyone.

It's another lovely day. Grocery shopping is on the agenda for later, and then I'll hose the pollen off my patio. It would have been a Pilates day but a certain cat decided not to come in last night and then Willow very kindly woke me up at 4 am to let me know he was finally home and waiting at the French doors.


Maybe I'll review my dance homework later on.

I love it dear. I can keep your father inside now and not worry about him getting out without me knowing...

Thank you, Lex! I don't mind stretching it out, and you certainly have every reason to be distracted. I hope Linda has a speedy and permanent recovery this time!

Thanks, Marian!

Yes, what you see on your phone will be different because that is the Facebook app. What you see on your laptop is not an app, but rather the Facebook website with a .com URL. I only use FB on my computer through a browser, and I only need to sign in if I have signed myself out. Once I am signed in, I don't need to sign in again.

So, which are you using to try to access this message in Messenger?

Let me check on the Google Drive thing - I can't remember.

EDIT: An AI generated response...


You do not have to use Google Drive for Messenger secure storage — it’s just one of the available options.

With Facebook Messenger’s new end‑to‑end encryption rollout, encrypted chat history is stored in a “secure storage” system. This lets you restore your messages and media if you switch devices or lose your phone. You can access secure storage in two main ways:

Set up a 6‑digit PIN — This is stored locally on your device and only you can access it.

Store a virtual key in Google Drive or iCloud — This is a cloud‑based backup option, but you can choose either service.

If you use Google Drive, your key is stored there, but Google and Apple’s servers do not store your messages — only the encrypted key is saved in your chosen cloud account Reddit. You can also back up your Messenger data manually via Facebook’s “Download your information” tool, which includes HTML‑formatted messages and photos MobiKin.

Bottom line:

You can use Google Drive, iCloud, or a PIN — no requirement to use Google Drive.

If you want to keep your backup in the cloud, Google Drive is an option, but it’s not mandatory.

If you prefer local storage, a PIN is the simplest method.

For maximum flexibility, you can set up both a PIN and a cloud backup (Google Drive or iCloud) so you have multiple recovery options.

Incredible how the birds can build something so complicated while also avoiding attack from Canopy Bears.

Thanks for the trophy, soot. After a peek at the next Squiggle image, I'm excited to sit back and see the answers.

The new Catch is an Elephant CE HOPA that can be found here.

This thread is getting long so we are continuing Here.

See you there!

That is great news, Space Quest!

Mr. Worrier collects things. He is especially proud of three of his collections : cartoon character figurines, thimbles, and salt and pepper shaker sets he’s found in antique stores. He displays these three kinds of curio in a prominently placed display cabinet. Each shelf, each column, and each of the two diagonals of cubbyholes contains exactly two of each kind of curio. Can you determine which curio is in each cubbyhole?



Shelf 1: the two shaker sets are not next to each other
Shelf 2: one figurine is immediately to the left of a shaker set, while the other figurine is immediately to the right of the other shaker set
Shelf 3: every thimble is somewhere to the left of every shaker set
Shelf 4: the shaker sets are somewhere between the two figurines
Shelf 5: the two figurines are next to each other
Shelf 6: every shaker set is to the left of every thimble

Column A: each pair of identical knickknacks is separated by two other knickknacks
Column B: the two figurines are somewhere between the two shaker sets
Column C: the two thimbles are somewhere between the two figurines
Column D: each figurine is immediately above a thimble
Column E: both figurines are somewhere above both thimbles
Column F: both shaker sets are somewhere above both figurines

Thanks, Lady K
