I am going to start today with a funny story.
In the epic/classic movie The Godfather, we had a scene with the severed head of a horse in someone’s bed. It meant you were a rat, and that the mob was going to help you disappear or possibly sleep with the fishes.
This morning I awoke and found the cover picture in my bed. My daughter and son-in-law tell me that last night, they had searched high and low for this particular snack. They didn’t find it, even going outside to see if they could retrieve the box of goldfish. What does awakening to a table of goldfish in your bed mean?
It means my dog is both sneaky and smart. My dog Dylan brought the box up five flights of stairs to our bed in the middle of the night. He managed to hide the box somewhere in my office, and then it appeared on the bed.
What does it mean when you awake to a box of goldfish?
Polls aren’t working well for me, so I am giving up. I am asking three questions below; please let me know which one you prefer in the comments!
- I want to know more about screen sharing technology (that is, you have a screen sharing system, you can connect to a TV and share what is on your computer screen without using a cable)! Google Chromecast is probably the best know of these, but there are many products in this space that are inexpensive and very effective ways to use that TV screen to share information!
- I want to know more about the new projectors that are now shipping. Projectors continue to evolve. Some of the new ones are laser projectors. That means a projector can create a 4k image that is 100 inches wide, but the projector only has to be 2 feet from the screen. That is a massive change in technology and exciting!
- I would love to know more about what I can do to increase the views of my posts
One of the things I am curious about is the first two. The 3rd one has many variables, but numbers 1 and 2 are interesting to me. We shall see which one of the three is most interesting to the community!
#kindcomments day!

Is a box of gold fish worse than a horses head in your bed?
Out of all of the people on this site, I thought you would know about putting poll questions in. Go into the poll and put in your main picture and the poll questions. For the answers, put in 1Yes and 2No or whatever you want the answer to be. Hit cancel. Go back into create poll and repeat until you see the answers that you want to see. Then, type the text.
yeah, i have tried every variation of that process and it works once, and then not again. i may have a local browser issue as well.
I have to refresh the browser several times on my last post.. but I’m not sure how it came out… it’s still pendin…
i have tried every variation of the poll thing, I am over it now. What happens happens for now.
Life is never boring with a pet. 😁
I’d love to know more about number 1.
thanks – will happily be writing up all three!
I have no idea about the box of goldfish.
But for the first question. Aside from Chrome Cast, there’s Miracast. The Samsung TV allows Samsung phones to connect without any other device.
For the second question. It’s called a short-throw projector and there’s the ultra-short-throw projector also. You know what’s great about this projector? It’s interactive. They come with a pen that works like a mouse. What you do is you write on the screen or wall where the projection is and the projector will send the input signal back to the PC or laptop.
For number three… I’m having that problem also.
there are many more digital screen share systems – there are several others they are called digital signage.
short-throw, there are also pico and many others!
the third one scares me right now. but I have some ideas.
LOL is your dog your alibi ? Okay I was just kidding. But he seems to know how to get what he wants.
I love chrome cast. I love watching videos of DIY’ on my TV rather than my phone. But now that our new TV is smarter, it doesn’t need chromecast i can directly play whatever I want from youtube on my TV.
i still use chromecast to share on two monitors (desktop PC and TV) it makes it easier to practice presentations.
That is a great idea too 🙂
it gets you used to not looking at the screen beyond checking what slide you are on!
Well your dog is smart! He rules the best snacks in the house!
I vote for all three. We have to keep your busy posting.
And last, I’ll take the goldfish over a head any day!
i agree. made me laugh. It wasn’t the small box it was the big box of goldfish. He is a lab but small for a lab (malnourished before we adopted him).
Or maybe it was a hint that YOU should eat goldfish for breakfast! LOL!
he has always brought things to me that he couldn’t open! In our house, the labs have done that for years now.
The kids call it turning state’s against them.
I just reward the labs!
That made me laugh about a Dylan with that box of goldfish. What kind of house do you live in that he had to go up five flights of stairs? Just curious. Anyway, the screen-sharing technology and view of posts.
it is a trilevel so two from the basement to the main level
two from the main level to the bedroom level
one onto the bed (the bed is high we have stairs so the dogs don’t have to jump on the bed.) So relly four, the last set is three small stairs!
OK, I got you sounds interesting You know it’s funny that way you mentioned it will take time to get used to having your daughter and her husband there too. I have been so used to being alone but when I thought of you as a family together suddenly I wished I still had a family too.
sorry to bring up hard memories. You do have all of us here online!!!
All topics are interesting, I decided to go first.
i will happily write about what people are interested in!
Oh my goodness, I can picture Dylan bringing this box up the stairs. So funny.
I would like to know more about #2. The projectors sound very interesting.
awesome vote tallied!
my daughter called him a brat. This is not the first time he has done that.
It is too funny. By the way, good to see the ads are back for us. 🙂
that is a good start – 1/2 a page of ads feels excessive and they really aren’t product ads anymore.
I would rather have the box of goldfish because it means that I had a great night of eating snacks, especially if they are crumbs too, lol.
Yesterday I had one of those days where I didn’t leave anywhere; didn’t even workout, but ate all day. The first time since the lockdown that I actually stayed locked. I believe I was tired from my workout on Friday. Saturday just didn’t feel like a typical Saturday.
everyone needs a day off, even you!
but, remember, without you, there are gators in Chicago!
Well pretty soon I will be cycling around the city, along with the running. Getting warmer thank goodness.
it is finally getting warmer i agree! wore shorts yesterday for my walk!
I’ll be pulling mines out for a possible trail run.
i used to run around a lake when I lived in Bloomington Indiana. I miss the lake!
