I have lived through three days of the most horrible kind of hell, and for the first time in about 51 years, I don't have a horse. My mare passed an hour and a half ago, and I was with her. She died i

Went to see the surgeon today... he says he is willing to try reattachment if I get through a complete MRI... he needs that first. He also informed me I had two tendons detached, not one, which really

Today would have been my stepdad's 89th birthday and it's the day we celebrate Thistle's 9th birthday.

Happy birthday. To both your Dad and to Thistle. :heart:

As near as I can calculate, it's been 1300+ days, so, maybe closer to 4 years. Maths were never my strong point.  :rolleyes:

Where is @Drew Espinosawhen you need him?

I'm not sure. I'm just more confused by the fact that Page has been counting the days...

Well, I remembered that Mickey and Remy started dating in the Fall of 2017. I used this calculator to get a rough estimate of the number of days since the lads started dating. It was 1332 days, give or take.

1332 ÷ 365 = 3.6 years.

In the time it would take me to use a calculator, I would have just worked something out like this in my head:

  • Fall of 2017 to Spring of 2021 equals 3 and a half years (give or take)
  • One year is approximately 360 days (give or take)
  • 3 times 360 days equals 1080 days
  • Half of 360 days is 180 days
  • 1080 days plus 180 days equals 1260 days
    (give or take)

Close enough to your 1332...

Calculator, schmalculator! :P

There's a really useful thing you can do with Microsoft Excel to find the number of days between two dates.

Just enter the two dates into separate cells, and then in another cell just subtract the two cells the dates are in. Excel automatically converts the answer to days.

It's better to subtract the later date from the earlier one, otherwise you'll finish up with a negative number of days.

So, as you can see, yours truly is 26,896 days old today. :yes:

(I think I'll stick with saying I'm 73 - doesn't make me sound quite as old.) ;)

Yes but there are 365 days in a normal year plus an extra for the leap year in 2020 so you shorted your count by a minimum of 18 days. You might want those 18 days at some point down the road. Additionally, we're discussing to young lads for whom those 3+ years are a slightly less than a fifth of their lives.

Oh, and can I borrow £1332, I'll gladly repay you £1260.

If you really need £1,332 and have no other way of raising it, bro...

(Although I think I detect a little more take than give there.) :unsure2:

Today we had a 5.0 earthquake... :blink: 

Good to hear everything's fine. :hug:

But you can thank a fellow American born on this day in 1900, for knowing it was 5.0....

NATIONAL RICHTER SCALE DAY

National Richter Scale Day on April 26th each year honors the birth of the Richter Scale inventor, Charles F. Richter (April 26, 1900 – September 30, 1985).

Richter was an American seismologist and physicist most famous as the inventor of the Richter magnitude scale, which quantified the size of earthquakes. While working at the California Institute of Technology, with Beno Gutenberg, Richter first used the scale in 1935.

After publishing the Richter Scale in 1935, it immediately became the standard measure of earthquake intensity.

Gary hasn't visited GA since Friday at 5:30pm my time.

That's three full days...

Just hoping that everything's okay with him... :unsure2:

I knew he was quiet but didn't realize it was that long.
