RE: A battle to get the full moon.

Hi Hannes,

Happy to see that you don't remember, as it tells me that you are also getting old. When you reach my age, you will also start to forget your name 🤪

Nope, I won't send you the verse, but it states, "LOVE ALL OTHERS AS YOU LOVE YOURSELF". So respect is the cousin of love, and we are instructed to even pray for our enemies.

The frog thing is that they slowly start to boil you without you even knowing it, until you are cooked. So you have it absolutely right, as when the oldies kick the bucket before they retire, then they save a lot of money. You better take care not to croak before you retire methinks. I like how the word "croak" fits into the boiling frog theme 🥴 !LOLZ

Now you really start to sound like my wife, as she has to attend the early morning devotions, and every time that I get to sleep a bit longer, she complains that she would also like to sleep longer. So, like I said before, you get closer to your retirement every day now, and afterwards you can sleep for the whole day. Remember that lady called patience? 🤣

The new cold front arrives tomorrow and at 5pm the sky was dark over here. So we will not see the sun again for a while. I hope the thunderstorms will break the heat. And please check that the AC works tonight, as we don't want you to boil during your paid sleep 😁

I hope that your day will be cooler tomorrow my friend 🙏

Cheers and thanks.

Hi Zac,

I haven't forgotten my name yet, but it's often hard do remember names of people I have known for a long time, but who I don't see often 💭

So, if I hate myself, which I often do, it's not wrong to hate other people? 😂 !LOLZ

Believe me, I rather get less paid when I retire, because I prefer to have less money and be mentally and physically reasonably healthy to be an old grumpy man with money ... I will not get boiled 😂 !LOLZ

Bad storms were all around yesterday, but here it was just a little storm with a bit rain - we were lucky again while only 100 km away the cars of people were swimming.

The AC is too loud, so we turn it off during the night. Because it was running on 16C all day long, the night wasn't too hot.

Yesterday was really busy, but I hope today will be easy, because I want to get home a bit earlier today. It's weekend and I want to take some proper photos again, maybe make a little hike too.

Wishing you a wonderful Friday and great start into the weekend, my friend 😊🌞

Hi Hannes,

I exaggerated a wee bit, as I can still remember my name every now and then, but like you, I am also useless remembering the names of everyone else. Embarrassing when they suddenly appear, and I don't remember their names. Thankfully my wife reminds after a while 😉

You don't have to worry, as I bet that everyone else that know you love you, and that should be good enough, so please don't lose no sleep worrying about it 😁 !LOLZ

See, I just posted the reply by clicking the wrong thing, and now I have to continue the reply in "Edit".
Never easy in this life, and you have the right idea about saving money for your retirement years. So many don't do this, (me included), but I don't worry about it, as I plan to work until my dying day. So one day when you are very old with a lot of money, then you will be able to afford a Ferrari wheelchair, and all of the very old ladies will be after you 🤪 !LOLZ

Glad that there are no floods in your area, and I have now done a few posts about the flooding here. It is in the upper parts of the river, as the river rehab contractor has not done that section of the river yet. They reckon that it will be 2 to 3 years before the river rehabilitation project is completed. So in the meantime, I continue to take photos of the birds and the dogs in the flooded areas 😊

By now your day is almost over, and great that you have plans for the weekend my friend. I really hope that you will get some good photos 🙏

We spent a wet morning to fetch an aunt that was released from hospital, rained wet when we took her into her home from the car, and got back here 2.30pm. Still wet here now, and they reckon that the weekend will be cold and wet. But I am not complaining, as I will still find time for taking photos 😊

Cheers and thanks.

Good morning Zac,

I'm back at work after a hot and mostly lazy weekend. I've had to work a bit on my homepage because it didn't work anymore, and yesterday morning I've been at a waterfall in Slovenia. The other 40 hours of the weekend I've mostly been doing nothing but sweating 😅

There was a colleague in my office last Friday and I had to edit his access rights to the main office. I have known this guy for quite some years, but I couldn't remember his name ... I didn't want to ask him, so I was talking to him about this and that and after a while I remembered his name 😆

The older I get the grumpier I become, I believe. I've always been the friendliest person at work, but a couple of years I started using the word "no" - not everyone loves me since I'm using this word more and more often 😇 !LOLZ

Hihi, as long as the old ladies don't have Ferrari wheelchairs too, I still will have a chance to escape 😂

There seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel, so that the floodings will come to an end some time in the next years 🙏 our floods are bad for the people, but they mean nothing compared to yours.

I hope your weekend wasn't too wet and cold, my friend, I wished I could send you some of our heat.

Wishing you a good start into the new week 😊🌞

Good evening Hannes,

At first, I always look at your photos, and as usual they are all fantastic. Difficult to pick one for me, and if I must, then it will be the last one. Marian of course likes the first one with the flowers. Well done 😲

Working on your home page? On Hive, or somewhere else? So sad that it is so hot there, but you know that a lot of sweating could help with weight loss 😜

Embarrassing to forget someone's name, and yeah getting older is not for sissies. How many years are you away from retirement now? Oh, and please, don't forget the name of your boss, as I don't think that he will like it very much 😁 !LOLZ

You grumpy? I don't believe it, as you have a very caring heart, and you will never hurt anyone deliberately. I think that I know you by now my good friend 😊

Hahaha, just the thought of a tribe of old ladies chasing you around on Ferrari wheelchairs tickles my funny bone 😁 !LOLZ

Yeah, we really hope so, and there are already noises for the new government to release higher up state land for the people. The problem is that before they resettle the people, they will have to establish infrastructure and services on the land. It is a very expensive issue, but it has now come to be a priority, and we will keep on watching to see progress 🙏

And I wish that I could send you some of our cold my friend. It attacks all of the old bones in my body, and I limp around on the gammy leg like a disabled person. So yes, it was both wet and a bit of dry the weekend, and usual in the dry periods I was out taking photos.
Look who called me outside.

I hope that you had a good start to the week, and that things will start to cool down a bit.

Cheers and thanks.

[johannpiber]

Good morning Zac,

my first break today, so I have some time to do the more important things, which is to quickly write replies to you 😅 !LOLZ

The photo with the flowers is also my favourite 😊 I wanted to have all sharp in focus - the flowers and also the waterfall, but it didn't work as I've hoped, and so I left the waterfall unsharp. Thanks a million kindly as always 🙏

I've been working a bit on my private homepage piber.cc which I want to keep a bit more updated than before. Maybe if I write a blog article, I could post it also on the Hive ... maybe, but I'm not sure what I'll do in future.

We've had some rain yesterday and today is also very cloudy. It has cooled down a bit, but it's still very warm.

From May to the end of August 2027 I want to use my vacation time, and September 2027 will be my first month as a free man 😁

I think when my wife sees the old ladies surrounding me, she'll come and chase them away, because she wants to be the only one who is allowed to surround (and scare) me 😂 !LOLZ

I think long term it will be cheaper to invest in new and safe infrastructure for the people than to spend money for rescue and repairs and ... after each flood.

If such a beautiful bird would sit and wait for me outside, I'd certainly get up and out, but unfortunately here there are only sparrows and pigeons 😉

Especially in the mornings my feet feel like they were several hundred years old and I walk just like I really was that old. So I hope your weather is getting better that walking will be easier for you.
Wishing you an awesome Wednesday, my friend 😊🌞

Good and wet afternoon Hannes,

Firstly, I think that we must cut this reply shorter, as you don't have a lot of time available to you.
So, I will strip it to its bare bones 😊

Ah, so you take Marian's side, but it's okay as I told her that you also like the flowers, and she likes that. So, it's only me that has good taste for good photos 😉 !LOLZ

Ah, so now you tell me that you have a home page after all the years that we have been together. A blog article on it might allow it to go viral on trending methinks. Any case, I will have a look at your home page 😲

Over here we would say , "Hoza September 2027", and Hoza means to hurry 😁

Your wife will also have a Ferrari wheelchair and she will lead the ladies, all of them hoping that they will get you to the place where they put you in a funny jacket 😜 !LOLZ

Yep, walking tends to become difficult with age, but one has to stay active, as a lot of sitting will result in many illnesses 🙏

Thank you and may your Thursday be kind to you my friend.

Cheers and thanks.

[johannpiber]

Good hot and dry afternoon Zac,

the past two days have been very busy again, but now it's weekend 😁 It will be only a short weekend though, because I'll be working on Sunday.

Your tast for good photos is great, my friend, Marian's and mine is just a little bit greater 🤣 !LOLZ

Oh, I thought I had told you about my website. I've even had a little online business selling a self programmed CMS / Content Management System for websites in the early 2000's until the big crash in 2008. Then the sales went rapidly down and I closed this business. It wasn't a huge money maker anyway - I just earned enough to compensate the time while my wife was at home with the kids and didn't earn anything.
This webpage is just for my photography. I started it before the Hive, I think, but I didn't do much with it for years until I sometimes copied a Hive post from time to time.

I've told you before that I'd love to wear such a funny jacket and live in such a funny house where I get rainbow colored pills each day and smile all the time 😆 My wife can visit me sometimes for a ride on her Ferrari wheelchair 👍🙃

I hate to sit around watching tv, I prefer to lay in my bed watching tv 🤣

I hope that everything's fine with you two guys and that you'll have a wonderful weekend 😊🌞

PS: It's all too much at the moment - work and private life, but especially work is too much and photography doesn't work very well. So I think I'm going offline for a while. Of course, I'll have a look on the Hive from time to time, but I'm not sure if I'll return.

Cheers and !BEER

[papilloncharity]

Oh no! Don't tell me that you will also go the Janton way, as I would hate to lose a friend like you.
So maybe just start to take things easy and continue to pop in every now and then when you have a bit of time. Know that we pray for you and the family.

Blessings.

[johannpiber]

I've always been busy at work, but it seems that someone or something wants to challenge me in my last 3 years 😅 In my free time I'm mostly too tired to sit at the computer, and at work there's not much spare time at the moment either.
I'm not sure about the Hive either, so I have decided to leave it at least for a while. Maybe I'll power down too, but I'm not sure.
Thanks, my friend, your friendship is the only thing why I'm still here anyway, otherwise I would have been long gone, I believe.

Wow, I thank you from my heart for the compliment Hannes, and you know that I also regard our friendship as very precious.

They say that the last years before retirement is very difficult, as one faces uncertain times, especially if one has been in employment for many years. All sorts of doubts and resentments start to influence one, and sadly so many just die after retirement. But you are not like that, as you have a good head on your shoulders, and you can face anything by the grace of our God. So, believe me that you will cope very well, especially when the stresses of work is finally lifted off your shoulders.

As far as hive is concerned, don't be hasty, and even if you are no longer on, sooner or later hive will moon, and then it will be your time to power down. So, maybe you can send me a message every month or two, just to let me know how you are. You know that we care, and you and your family are in our prayers. But you know this.

[johannpiber]

Hi Zac,

I will be more often here than only once a month 😉 !LOLZ

I don't believe that the Hive will moon, because I don't think that the ines who are already rich will ever want or allow so many poor people to become rich over night.
But I believe that the Hive one day might go up to maybe 5 Dollars again.

That's why I'm not sure if I should power down ... I probably will wait for a while.

I also know a few people who retired and died soon after. That's not my intention 😁 because I want to be retired at least just as long as I have worked for the government, what will be 42.5 years ... I'll be 104.5 years old when I want to start of thinking to leave 🤣 !LOLZ
