I misread that as you saying 'post something that happened today'.  Whatever.

I was in a newly reopened pub and sat on this chair with my feet on the footrest...

...when one of the people who I know that helps to run the place came in.  You've never seen someone put their shoes on so fast and get up so defensively!  They said it was OK for me to rest my feet there so fair enough.

That's not really much of a surprise.  You need to start making small steps.  I can't make these for you but your self-pitying rants are getting you nowhere.

I got a very personal and well thought out email from my son's High-speed Low-drag "accelerated development" math teacher, today. He is in special classes for both math and English. I was very impressed with his teacher's assessment of my little genius. He is right on target. Plus, I learned that my son is getting a 99% grade in math today.

It doesn't get much better than this, folks.

:headbang:





I'm a little surprised to discover his algebra skills.

PLayed stepmania for the first time.  I'm horrible, of course, because I never played DDR or anything like it before, but it's gonna be good cardio, which is why I'm doing it.

I do have to wonder if I'll ever actually get good.  Probably mediocre at least because I plan on doing it every day...

Not really, I believe in nothing supernatural and I don't feel lonely.  Zen or taoist thinking does have it's advantages.............."Be here now."

Depends on what you consider supernatural.

Neither do I!!  But, I think there are, from my own weird experiences, more to to the "supernatural" aspect than a lot of people believe.  As for the spiritual, I could care less.  If oblivion awaits me when I die..........so be it.  If it's hell, well, I'll see more of my friends there then I would in "heaven".   >:D

We have a weird fault with our gas fire - it seems to intermittently kill thermocouples, and I've no idea why. We've had three in five years. ???

my turn again, eh?



OK.


I bitched like a baby about the scratchy-assed blue shirts we have to wear at twork.

Today the sub-boss-lette brought me four brand new shirts that are not scratchy. I will cut out the tags and these will be fine.

I never imagined my off-the-cuff-bitchin' would come to anything.



the best part is that she never asked me what was wrong wth the other shirts.









The really odd part is that she knows what I meant by scratchy-assed.

We had this problem at a place I used to
work. Luckily, I was outside, so most of
the time I could wear layers under them.

Make sure that you're doing your own laundry,
or the new shirts will end up fucked too though.
Some of the chemicals that industrial places use
are just horrible.

Yes, I cringed from the smell when she pulled one out of the protective plastic bag and waved it at me  ... so proud of herself!

They were heavily saturated with some kind of "sizing" and were stiff, but I could tell when I touched them that they were a different material. When I looked at the tags, pure cotton.

I am much happpier. In fact they are washed and dried, now, and they are going to be much better than the other ones, which had some polyester woven into them.

I found an ant queen.

I was shovelling mounds of snow, fucking kneee deep, and for some reason, her body turned up in my view. She was froxen solid, but regal, just the same.

I stopped. She was perfect. I ran in to get my twenty "X" loupe (which I keep for assessing my gem investments) and inspected her percfection.

I made a small firee and gave a her a proper earthing.

I smoked over her, sang a song of winter.

iam not sure what any off this means, but I knew what I had to do. She was lost but not forgotten.

Your altar?

She kept an altar for you?

.. or are you talking about your own personal alter to yourself?

More the latter. Really, just a collection of odd junk,
some of it ceremonial. But, at some point or another,
she accused it of being my altar. I guess she was right.
I have a tiny version on my window ledge now - Some
crystals, beads that I found, a ring, my watch (broken,
but still of mystical significance to me), a couple of greeting
cards with birds, a branch with some odd seeds, a butterfly
thing off a piece of jewelry, a wand, and a LOT of feathers (mainly
cardinal - I'd never found a cardinal feather, so my dad sent
me a bunch of them, when he found a recently deceased
bird).

Pretty much a pile of junk that I find, and think is interesting.
Along with all the dust that it can collect. It used to be a
pretty big collection though - some mine, some hers. Skeletons
of stuff we'd find, a bunch of brass hindi stuff from a friend who
died, odd bits of glass, some car parts - just anything that seemed
neat.

Sounds kind of like a brujo's den. I always hoped that brujos did NOT get shit mixed up when they were casting.

I have two families of cardinals who nest in my trees every year. There were three this year, but the asswipe kid across the alley shot a female with his BB gun late in the summer. I doubt that the male will survive the winter. They mate for life, you know.
They use their feathers in their nests, rather than waste them. They are smart birds.

THIS, I didn't know. Lots of birds do,
but not to the extent of there NEVER
being feathers around.

Almost ended up with one once. A fledgling,
decided to take a bath in auto oil. We thought
it was cast off, but it's parents showed up, and
we figured it had a better chance with them.

Fuckn other cat stealing my stray's food. Damn Lue, didn't think about his cat messing around with idiot gf.  She went to prison for money laundring.  The fuckn guy is 18 and his kids seem to be acting up to get attention.  The cat was at my window watching me on the toilet meowing.  It does it every morning.  This fat gray and black cat comes waltzing out the garage and starts meowing at me, I can only afford to feed one of them, and its because my mom is doing it.  Mom called me selfish because I would not  give up cash for the animal, she said she wanted it, and not to let it at the pound.  I am feeding it, and she has some nerve!  Perhaps if I get a washer then I won't have to pay for my clothes to get washed, then I could feed her by myself.

Well I feel bad for the fat animal, I been feeding it, but I had the guy upstairs call the pound.   I don't really have  a phone, and I thought he should since I put rock salt all over his entry way.   The lazy mail man won't put the mail in the box.  There is a railing he can hold on to.  So he stuffs all the mail in my box, I end up playing mail man for all the other appartments.  Damn people upstairs stole  guy upstair's shovel.  I felt something about them, and I was right.  I am glad I didn't make friends with them.

It's still about animals ...



I got a call from my sister-in-law who needed a favor. She lost her dog about three weeks ago and had given up on ever seeing her again. She found her dog today though and she needed a lift out into the country to pick up the dog. She has some terminal disease and takes wicked meds at times and she can't drive. Her husband is out of town. Of course, I loaded up the kids and we took off.

It turns out that her dog was hit by a car and rather severely injured. One of the first people on the scene was a horse veterinarian who, gathered up the injured dog and took her to a nearby clinic where he does some volunteer work and got the dog stabilized. The next day, after leaving notice with all the local shelters, he took her to his farm where he performed two surgeries to save her leg, including implanting reconstructive plates in the dog's pelvis and femur ... all with no intention of being reimbursed or even finding the owner, just helping the injured dog.

The re-union was amazing and it made for a very happy ending to the day for a nice lady and her loving dog and I think for the vet as well. The dog is up walking around, although with a limp and very happy to see her owner. She will be fine. They both will.

The vet would only take one hundred twenty nine dollars for the medical supplies and antibiotics he used on the dog.

Unbelievable!

It amazes me to find someone in this busy world still performing such selfless acts of "random kindness."  I had to share it. It really made my day, especially after such a rough time I have had this past week.
It is almost like fresh air to breathe.

I'd have been more surprised if the guy hadn't helped the dog.  It seems such a natural thing to do, and I'd be very wary of anyone who wouldn't help a hurt animal when they had the means to do so.

Agreed. It is his life interest, but let's be real for a moment.
I certainly see what you are saying, but the business climate and the normal hustle and bustle of central Indiana life, (which I am not really part of) would prevent most people from even noticing yet another destroyed dog on the road, although a decent vet would probably wince.

It was merely luck that he was there and managed to stop fast moving highway traffic long enougth to save the dog from the next series of car hits, which would have been the end for her.

I also have pleasant thoughts for him, because he did not exploit a perfectly legitimate business opportunity, when the owner showed up.

Curiosity is certainly in full force in this house.

Humour is also an almost impenetrable shield for me too (almost ...  ::)) and I plan on helping them all i can to use humour, first.

Speaking of a guitar ...



I pulled out my dad's Gibson guitar from the closet, last night. I so rarely do, these days, but I really should hack on it, more. I had to do some cleaning after a funeral, ya know. (I went through my "spare stuff" closet and threw out buttloads of things - no relation to reality as far as I know)



I was amazed to find that, even after almost five months of neglect (I put it away after summer was winding down), it was almost perfectly IN TUNE, still!!
I have a special love for quality things that have been with me since the begining. His guitar (MINE, NOW!!) is six years older than I am.

If it was in a case and protected from tempurature and humidity extremes, it's no surprise that it stayed close to being in tune.  I tuned mine this morning after a month long rest in its case and it needed very little adjusting.  Before that I had it out in the regular house temps and dry winter humidity for 2 weeks and it was quite flat in tone.  Mine is a "Washburn" steel string acoustic guitar.  During the summer it doesn't "drift" as much as my first guitar did.  But, then again the first one was a 150 dollar cheapie bought from a  generic music store.  The Washburn was bought at a "real" guitar shop and was worth every penny.  I also needed a wider fret board and better sound.

There just is NO substitute for quality as you said.  Someday I want to get myself a nice "Classical" style guitar with a 2 inch fret board for when I get better.   8)

HG?

Interesting site. I ran across it once looking for songs.

A Washburn is a good piece of gear. Enjoy it. I actually have several guitars, even one of the lower grade Washburn versions and a nice Washburn twelve string, a sixties D-28 Martin, a Gibson jumbo, Dreadnaught, a Gibson twelve string, a topline Yamaha D-28 knock-off, but none hold the fascination of the old Gibson for me, but it's more than the fact that it was my dad's. The guitar is a bit unique in that it is a "cutaway" style, from the forties. It's not really the best sounding guitar I have, but it is so beautifully made. Even the early eighties Yamaha has a better timber, but it is not as well in tune along the fretboard as the Martin,the Gibsons or the Washburns.

I have many more electrics, though. Some are quite valuable, but that's not why I have kept them. To me every instrument I have is a multi-path nostalgia generator for me. Memories come flooding back when I hold them. I sometimes don't like having a life that is so tightly fastened to "things" but mine is that way, in many ways.

I received the "Most Traveled" award. I got a thing of Hershey's Kisses for being in more departments, more often, what ever, than any other person.

I work in fucking Merchandising. Of course, I'm all over the place! I don't deserve any special (fucking) acknowledgement for it, just better shoes, possibly. I stated such and got a hand.

Containing my bile was expensive. I did it, though. I guess this job is not as important to me as you guys have become.

I tend to agree and I should do the same as well.

I went to the river a few days ago; just after the news of flooding north and south of me.

I was surprised to find that I could barely park the car on dry land. The river was raging and all the paths were under water.


I got to look down on an enormous tree trunk breaking free from it's entanglements and barrelling downstream, from a treefork-catch that would normally be about six feet above my head at river's edge. The spectacle, and most especially the sound, was mesmerizing.

Damned if I know. I'll be happy, for a while, with anything.
Probably anything will wear off, too.

I thought doing AI research would be good,
but even that wasn't able to keep my attention.

Consulting and teaching were both hit and
miss, because of a lack of external structure.
I COULD blow them off, so 'twas easy to do
so, when I wasn't excited enough by what
I was doing.

I may just need the grind, for a bit, and see
where it leads. More excited by the testing
one, but I'm not going to turn down the other,
until I have something.

I did that at work last week.
I was surprised how easy it went on those antique IBM micro-box workstations with fins on the outside. I pulled out a blurry seventeen inch round tube monitor and sub'ed in a twenty two inch Gateway LCD, without a single hiccup. These things run Windows XP and all our proprietary software is some Adobe vector concoction, loaded with errors. We also have a "window" that gets us to the UNIX server for more live info-heavy and detailed cross-search work. These poor little things have their hands full booting up, but it went fine.

The first thing I fell in love with using the new monitor is that the perceived distance to the text has moved back from about fifteen inches to around three feet away. Even though I am generally less than twenty inches from the monitor it "LOOKS" like the text is three feet away! I love it!

Not really just today, but overnight, I finished transferring all my ripped music to my newest hard drives. The 750GB I got at a super deal a couple of weeks ago, the two 320GB drives I bought in the falll and one more 160GB which I have had for a while, are full of nothing but music. Back-ups are spread across a huge number of 40, 60, 80, and 120GB drives, though.
Of course, I also have my original CDs, reel to reel tapes, LPs and library card (SHSHSH!) in case of major failure.

Much easier to access four drives than what seemed like "forty four."

I got a free repair done on my Minolta Dimage 7i (http://www.steves-digicams.com/2002_reviews/dimage7i.html), since it had a defect and there was a recall on it.  I've hardly had any use from it before, since when I first got it, my NiCd rechargeable batteries couldn't even boot it up with a full charge and I only had the 16MB flash card it came with which allowed one picture on the highest setting and 16 pics on an intermediate setting, and then the CCD stopped working once I had the right gear for it.  Mum had rescued it from her work, where it was due to be crushed.  Yes, public funds really were used to buy an expensive camera, stick it in a cupboard for a few years and then (nearly) crush it.  Where my mum worked, any item of electronics more than three years old was deemed garbage.

Also, I feel much better today.

Yeah, the picture resolution on the new monitor is a vast improvement over the old monitor.  Plus it's far less bulky and gives the computer desk space a roomier feel.  The old monitor is off to the recycling area soon.   :green:  It's 8 years old and somethings wonky with the cathode ray tube as it keeps "blipping" and sometimes just blacks out completely.

Post by: odeon on January 18, 2008, 04:03:25 PM
Yes, I think so too. DTS and Dolby Digital really aren't that different but the sound mixes sometimes differ. In this case, DTS seems to be better; the surround mix is astonishingly good.

For a projectionist, Dolby's system is usually the preferred one since the sound is on the film strip whereas DTD is on CDs (that are forgotten, lost, shipped to another cinema, etc).

finally managed to save all my chatlogs with my friend and email them to myself on my other account, so i can't lose them.
just did the last ones and a screencap of one of my favourite posts by her, i read that when i need help.
i feel relieved now.

also forwarded emails from her dad/brother/teacher and the random ones i got in october/november. i feel safer having them on that account. i made a separate place to put those ones in, so i don't lose them.

i can't think of anything else good that's happened today. a few bad things actually lol
things are better now i can get on zomg and have my things safe though. that's good

I found SIX! SIX! Sega Genesis games at a garage sale in their original boxes! for 5 bucks :D
I have started collecting retro video games and consoles.

I got sonic Spin ball, another copy of Sonic 2, The Aquatic Games, Decap attack, Mortal Combat 2 and Mortal combat 3 . There was a Sega system there but I already have two different versions of that console anyways.

Last week I found the original Nintendo at the same place with Final fantasy in it's slot!

Me, too! I got over three and a half hours last night. That is almost as much as I had gotten in the previous four days, combined.

Not really sure why, but it has been almost a no-sleep week, so far.

Had a guy from Rising Sun Research (http://cinespace.risingsunresearch.com/) come in to work today to do a presentation on color calibration techniques.

I didn't know that an LCD monitor took 90 minutes from being turned on for its output to level out to the point where you could safely do film color work....

Or that turning it off and turning it on again would make the white point stabilize in a slightly different place, so it would need a new LUT.... (that's why they tell us not to turn our monitors off!)

He also showed us some amazing optical illusions (http://www.echalk.co.uk/amusements/OpticalIllusions/illusions.htm).

One of them:

This one's interesting, (http://web.mit.edu/persci/people/adelson/documents/Tappen_PAMI_27-9.pdf) it's the reverse of what I have to do in compositing, the rendering of beauty passes, shadow passes, reflection passes, etc. and layering them together. The color data produced by his formulas would be very useful in generating texture maps from photos because it removes some of the lighting information. Best I can do right now is take the texture photos on a cloudy day or under diffuse lighting.

I hadn't realized that filters that find edges in an image are taking the horizontal and vertical derivatives of the differences between pixels.

Which aspects of perception are you thinking of that autistics can sometimes see beyond?

i'm really glad to hear that - i'm planning on an entrelac something, and was dreading it turning into the technique from hell.  does it get boring, though?  and what yarn did you use?  people seem to favour the Noro type thing, for the colour runs.

have you ever tried broomstick lace?  sitting there with a 25mm needle stuck vertically between my legs did nothing for me at all (although the scarf looks lovely).   :-\
Title: Re: Post something good that happened today
Post by: purposefulinsanity on February 12, 2008, 04:50:33 AM
I've only done a small test piece in some left over yarn I'd laying around so far- its one of those things that are much easier to understand by actually doing, rather than trying to puzzle it out just reading the instructions.   It seems much slower going to start with than a lot of other techniques which, if it doesn't improve could prove irritating, however I've heard that you can speed it up by learning to knit backwards (removes all the turns required for the short rows).

I haven't picked out an actual project I want to use the technique for yet, but I'll probably go for something with a similar colour change as noro- although will probably go for something a little softer- Kureyon is a little too rough for something that goes around the neck.  I do have 4 balls of red/black karaoke waiting for the right project so might try that out?

I never got round to trying broomstick lace, but I have worked with one of those huge dildo type hooks before (20mm)- that was fun considering the next project I worked on used a 1.25mm hook. :laugh:

yes, i thought it might be a "get on with it, rather than puzzling it out" type of thing.

kntting backwards sounds mad, but fun.  might have to have a go...

yes, i thought it might be a "get on with it, rather than puzzling it out" type of thing.

kntting backwards sounds mad, but fun.  might have to have a go...

i've got several random balls of karaoke in red/black, too.  great minds...  you sold me on that, with the mermaid mix - knitting a cardi in it as we speak (my geeky DNA/chromosomes cardi).

The karaoke is really lovely isn't it?  Although its so soft in places it just seems to want to snap for fun-it was a fucking nightmare working on DPN's with it. 

The red/black knits up really nice- I already knit it into a cable/lace wrap but it was too short so I ended up having to frog it.

I found out that entrelac is actually very easy.  :woohoo:

What is?

A knitting technique- I know Dunc's use of the  :eyebrows: probably made it sound like something much more interesting  ;)

Are you making him a cock sock?

Yeah, I keep telling myself that, but, the Northeast and especially Maine are known for having screwy weather at this time.  The weather reports for the next week are not encouraging.  1 day of sun followed by another of clouds and either rain/snow or a mix. 

Don't mind me, I'm feeling exhausted and if there wasn't sun today, I'd probably be having a bad case of SAD.  I need a break, somehow, somewhere................... :-\

Maybe recognising that my kids get it too, encouraging them and trying desparately to liven them up has actually helped me.

But meds only affect one mind and nothing in the outer realms. They can do nothing but placate a person. Never can you see clearly through a med stroke.

I do KNOW that they serve a purpose, but they are just another procrastination, in the way they affect me. I begin to feel not so displaced and more comfortable with my failures. Yay, give me meds!

Of course I lean heavily on my coffee and sometimes my booze, but those things, being water or oxygen soluble, are gone from my system in a matter of hours. My procrastination has another chance to die and sooner than if I was mroe needy. Living with anxieties is my lading, but NOT living with those same anxieties would be a coffin.

Not saying that some of the steps are not difficult, but they are far from impossible, even if you get your ass wet a few times.

I agree- meds are all too often seen as a 'cure' and for all the mental bullshit that life likes to throw at you I think they're often just a band-aid- useful to stop the bleeding and help you heal, but its not going to stop you getting cut again.  (argghh I don't think that analogy really makes sense now I read back through it).

Don't get me wrong I know that meds have their uses, but I sometimes wonder if society views them as an excuse not to make the effort to change or even as enough effort to get better by themselves. (Yes I know that its hard to make the effort when you're struggling).

After our youngest child was born I was in a bad place- the dr's first thought it was post-natal depression but it was eventually decided I had PMDD- I was given anti-depressants and after 3 months I didn't even feel like me anymore.  Sometimes there's pain in life, sometimes things are hard, but if you damp down the bad with medication you're often also damping down the good.  I'd rather hurt then be mentally and emotionally numb.


Since so many artists have suffered with emotional shit,etc I wonder if we're going to end up in a world where that true artistic spark becomes rare, where there's little new music that speaks to the soul because so many people have their emotions stamped on with medication ???

Finally managed to remove 3/4 of the "Glacier" on the metal roof above the garage area.  1 1/2 feet thick and mostly Ice and wet heavy snow.  If left to slide on their own,  the whole house shakes and would smash our cars flat.  And It's sunny so I got my exercise and good sun exposure!   :green:  8)

They are cute.  The colours are a let down though.  iPod Shuffle has a better range.  The colour I have is the best one IMO (plus it gives money to fight AIDS in Africa  :zoinks:)

Wish they still made them in the bright green that the Mini's had :(

Broken old tub is out and the new one is in place, bullshit generic shitter is out. Everything is ready to hook up, trim out and re-paint.

I hope to get a base coat of paint down before I become exhausted. (fucking new fiberglass tub is heavy as hell!) It has really gone smoothly. That's assuming that the heat is enough to dry the drywall patch on the wall. I was afraid I might find some problems from the leaky old tub, but now I'm home free after about five and a half hours.

BABY!

Last time we moved, I had an Owwie, too. I was not worth much, mostly deaf, nursing a bleeding head. My tremendously strong wife did most of it. Well, she had fou of her brothersr brothers help, a bit, but I'm sure there were more of those staeres  about, "Why is it, again, that you fuck this guy?" (because he makes me see stars!)

They have a pool and a fitness center at the apartment complex.   It is really close to 9A and UNF (the uni that I am going to).   Being close to 9A allows me to get to a good part of the city in a decent amount of time.    The St. Johns Town Center and Regency Square Mall are within 5 miles or so.

25 miles in Jacksonville is nothing, this city is so fucking spread out.

I put some cheques into the bank; the ones from the website have been piling up, and the past 6 months of them came to £89.68, converted from USD 190.53 - £5 commission.  It's not going to buy me a tropical island, but a day with £89.68 is better than a day without, all else being equal.

I haven't been there since you started, but Have you kept up the reviews or is this residual from past efforts?


Either way, I doubt there could be a "cooler" job. Make enough for a "trip" to the island and I'd call it a successful business venture!

It's residual income from past efforts.  I've been too messed up lately to work on it, but I'm getting about $30 a month just on the basis of about 10 articles I wrote.

A UK recruitment agency called to ask me if I was interested in a manager job. Unfortunately, in the UK. Full time, on site. Had to turn it down.

sods law. still, shows your skills are still in demand, right?  :bangbang:

Yeah, it's a good thing they called. I'm still tempted to call back and change my mind, but I don't see how that would work out.

what dunc said, though - people out there recognise your skills, and you're in demand.  employment-wise, i mean cos you know all about the other version, right?   :eyelash:.

"Document manager", meaning that I'd be in charge of some tech writers and supervise/be the architect behind the company's documentation strategy. It sounded like my thing.  :'(

I moved a lot, dozens of times, when I was a kid, but after I finally got a place of my own, 24 years ago, I have only moved 4 times.

I don't know that it was the worst, but a month and a half ago, I had just taken a large dividend from an investment that really needed to remain untouched to pay an old debt that I had forgotten, when I had to buy a battery, then about a week later a new pair of tires.

:GA:

It's like that sometimes.

I still think I have gotten by easy with the car gods, lately. Glad you did, too.

I should add that I take her in for servicing every 3000 or so miles and run her thru the full service car wash periodically especially in winter to keep the road salt off as much as possible.

My father had a drinking problem and couldn't hold a job for very long, which meant that he didn't pay enough of the bills and we got kicked out a lot, basically. There was a horrible three-year period when we didn't stay in one place for more than a few weeks at a time,with two exceptions (of around five or six months each).

Most of this was after we left Finland, btw. I suppose we had fewer relatives to help us out. /shrugs

When I started at the uni and got my own place, I stayed there for eight years. ;D

That's terrible that you moved so much.

We really didn't, except for one really bad year. My dad re-located when I was six, moved once more into a permanent house and we stayed there until I was seventeen.
At that time he relocated again, but the job did not work out. He only stayed at that job for three months, then we moved back "home." So, in one year we moved into a company temporary house, then a rental apartment, then bought a house in a period of three months. Since it did not work out we moved back across the state again, into an apartment and two months later they found the house where my dad spent the rest of his life.

But kind of like your bad years, but not as bad. It was five moves in one year.
:yikes:


Since I've been on my own I have moved around a bit."Living" on the road, I had lots of apartments and almost NO furniture. I had my stereo and a couch, some books and a desk lamp and other than a few mismatched plates and eating utensils, that was it. Where ever I had set my stereo up WAS home.

I lived with my grandparents till I was about 12
Then we rented somewhere for a few months, then rented somewhere else for about a year
Then we moved into the house I live in now
We're moving to Ireland in a couple years
I'd like to move to San Francisco one day, when I've sorted out all my AS stuff and can live on my own
But the houses round where I'd want to live cost loads
So I'll never be able to afford it

i'm the opposite: had a very stable homelife as a kid, and have been a gypsy ever since striking out on my own - technically, i could be considered a traveller, as i never stay anywhere very long.  well, until i started owning my own home, and the only reason i don't move every couple of years is cos it's uneconomic to do so.

i've just got itchy feet.  :D

actually, that's not true - i know what i need to be able to "settle down".

I feel alright
My ocd isn't as bad as usual
I got my lazy arse out of bed, when usually I'd have gone to sleep a couple hours ago and be here for at least another 6 hours

This is my longest time of feeling ok in months
I mean I still keep getting emo, but I get out of it and be ok

I managed ae one one one meeeting with the big bosss today. I made him put me off, yesterday, because I woulld not give up.

I want to work more!!

I played my best salesman and overcame all his |objections" (things like the way the company is run and how he has to acocount for every manhour, and how the staff for the future is in his hands from corporate, etc,etc.etc.)  to get to MY questions addressed. I let none of his pre-planned pat answers serve. I managed to get thriough it with enough left over to do todays meeeting andk make my points with even more clarity..



I will get more hours out of all this if he keeps his word.

"Starting, now!!"

Actually, they got less than us, they were usually in the sleet/freezing rain band.  As you drive to the coast, the roadside snow piles drop dramatically.

YaYs!

Our lakes are mostly dammed streams.

There is usually quite a current in most of our lakes, even in winter.

If you fall through the ice, here, there is little chance to make it back to the same hole. You're pretty much fucked.

Not quite today since it's after midnight. Got my car started thanks to one of my neighbors. I saw them pull in the parking lot and I asked them if they can do me a favor and her boyfriend jump start my car so I was able to take it in at 2:17. Didn't have to wait for my aunt and uncle to get home. Hopefully the mechanic guy will find the problem with what is draining the battery. My parents had that problem with their mini van and none of the mechanics could never find the problem so the battery had to be replaced every year and a half and they had to take out a fuse that runs the radio so the battery wouldn't drain.

Did you find a lump and have a biopsy or was it a routine mammogram?

i found various lumpy horrors, and went to the doctor's to have them checked out (after having eleventy-three shit fits of panic).  that was a month ago, and she wanted to check them again after a month, to see if it was just cyclical differences.  apparently, they were.

it scared the fuck out of me, though.  it's made me think a lot about life and how it can get cut short, and particularly about how it's pointless worrying about things which may or may not happen in five or ten year's time, and to enjoy possibilities and actualities now.  i really thought i might only have a couple of years left to live.

thank you, everyone.  :-* to all of you.

my mum phoned me tonight (shock!).  she sounded bloody great, far happier and brighter than she has done for years.  i thought it was because she'd received a poem i sent her earlier in the week, but no.

apparently she feels great because she fell over in the middle of the road, with traffic whizzing all around her.  now, i know she has alzheimer's, but even i was a bit agog (and v concerned) about this latest apparent lunacy.

turns out that she was so furious at a stupid man who was shitty with her when she had to pay extra postage on my letter (idiot me - it was a big letter, so cost more ::) ) that she didn't care about falling over.  she was getting a bit iffy because her injuries were starting to hurt (grazes and bruises only, thank the gods). she was so excited about not being freaked by falling over - she's still compos mentis enough to realise she's losing it.  usually, she gets terribly upset and frustrated when she has her funny turns, whether physical or mental.  it's so sad.

bless her.  she's deteriorating rapidly, but it was just so great to hear her so lively and "with it" (she didn't forget a word once) for a change.

I was walking Waggy while wearing jeans and a tight fitting t-shirt, when a couple of girls spotted me and did that girly-giggle thing that girls in their mid-teens tend to do, and then one of them made a body-builder expression with her arms once they'd passed me and thought I wasn't looking.  I think that's a good thing...

They were old enough, though they weren't particularly to my taste.  It would be nice to know how to make use of getting 'the eye' for future situations in which the giver of 'the eye' was more appealing.

I considered that, but I'd left my rohphynoll and club at home.  Maybe I should teach Waggy to follow scent trails so that I could track them down and break into the houses while they're sleeping?

Turn around and walk past the same spot again a few minutes later? Look at them and hope they stop and say hello to the dog? Strike up a conversation while they're going "awww, how cute, what's her (his?) name?"

They were walking in the opposite direction, so I'd have needed to change direction, run to overtake them and then change direction again to walk past them again.  It's kind of hard to meet people on the street, since most people on the street are busily going somewhere.

I got my hair cut.   It was the longest it has been since I was 19.   I could almost get my hair into my mouth.   I didn't take any pics before I got it cut.   I have a job interview today at 2pm, I am really nervous as it is a good job.   Salaried position with benefits.

Last night I saw the same woman that I saw on St. Patrick's day.   My brother hit on her at the Irish pub and she told me that I would be "finer" than my brother if I got my hair cut.   I saw her again last night and she was surprised that I didn't get my hair cut lol.   She had some beautiful breasts.   Too bad she was there with her boyfriend, who coincidentally grew up down the street from me.   I remember on St. Patty's my brother said something about her ass as she was leaving, and she commented that she would let me hit it and not him (the only reason I didn't say more than I did was that I recognize her BF).   My brother doesn't remember St. Patty's day at all, he was blacked out drunk.   She reminded him of what transpired that night, last night though lol.   He had no shame as usual.

Funny.

I eat peanuts all the time and when in season, my mom sends fresh pecans by the pound. When I'm out of nuts, though, it is cashews that I crave.

Still have a couple of pounds of pecans for now.

started on my garden this year.  i pruned the roses, cleared out all the old dead chilli plants from the greenhouse, and planted this year's fruit and veg seeds (cucumber, melon, varieties of lettuce salad leaves; peppers, beetrrot, spinach, parsely) and annuals (calendula, marigolds, sunflowers, night-scented stock, poppies). 

funny how all the annuals are yellows, oranges and reds (except the stock).  all the purples, blues, white and pink flowers are my perennials/herbs/wildflowers.  there are already some beautiful windflowers, primroses, primulae and crocuses in various shades of yellow, purple and white, and the rosemary's and forget-me-not's blue flowers are pretty well advanced.  weird - bloody global warming.

He tells his clients how to write and publish technical documents in a rational and cost-efficient way so they won't have to write them from scratch every time, and he explains to the developers what the client wants in a manner that they can understand, and he follows the project through, educating interested parties and monitoring that what actually was delivered bears some resemblance to what was promised in the first place.

When we got the rabbit (tiny baby when we first got her) she chased the cat lol
We thought it'd be the other way round so kept them apart at first, but Flo's terrified of everything :laugh:

She just sat and watched the tortoise from a distance, and sniffed
He looked at her, but seemed more interested in walking around

 :-\ Did you find her parent(s)?

Yes, the child's mom and grandmother saw it happen. They were trying to catch the dog when it ran in front of my path. It happened so fast! I was only going about ten or fifteen miles per hour when the dog jumped out from between two construction trucks which were partially blocking the road.

I immediately stopped and ran to see. The older lady yelled out that you should NEVER approach an injured animal. "It's too dangerous!" she said. I just told her that I would be OK. The dog only lived about a minute more. I became a little emotional as I felt part of its life pass through me. Can't really explain it well, but I felt like screaming, except with force and to some purpose. I yelled out with all my breath. It was the kind of scream that can never echo, because everything gets out of its way.

I'm so sorry, DirtDawg.   :(

I fishtailed my car one time avoiding hitting a cat who ran out in front of me.  I missed the cat, but I could have killed myself as well as all the people in the other cars who all miraculouly pulled over to the sides of the road to avoid my fishtailing-out-of-control car.  My mother was very upset with me when I told her about it.  She said, "Hit the cat!"  Now that I have a daughter, I understand what she meant.  Next time, I will either brake or steer, if I can, but never again will I do both at the same time.

I have done that, but never hurt anyone. I have done worse just being stupid with a car too.

Thanks guys, but I said it was hard to explain. I don't really see it as all that horrible. It was another lesson in the workings of things I have yet to understand. The fact that it all came upon me as a surprise is the hardest part of it. I don't like surprises, unless I ask for one, then you will have your hands full, trying.

The sadness of the little girl (who I do not know) who will never again see her beautiful miniature Collie, is mine, shared lightly with two other strangers, who did not even give a damn about the dog anyway.


It tortured my sleep, though.

I'm fine.

Thanks.

actually, it was really funny.  i was in the loo, talking to one of the admin staff, and another admin came in and said there was a bloke waiting to book something.  i said, "is he nice-looking?" to which she replied, "yes,"  so i said i'd sort him out (much laughter).

i went back to the office, and there was one of my old students (he's a second year now), and i told him what we'd said, and we laughed, and he gave me a hug.  i said, "she was right - there is a nice-looking bloke in here."  more laughter.  then the two admins came in, so i told him to hug me again quick so they'd think i'd scored (my students are used to me), and he did, and gave me a kiss on my hair (he's tall).

it was just so sweet.  then we talked about how women who wear Bench clothing are mainly slightly upmarket chavs.  :laugh:

made me feel nice, anyway.

How old was he? :P

Teaching can be rewarding.  When I was a teacher's assistant in a school and looked after kids on a camp (was 12 when I did the latter, barely had a clue what I was doing  :laugh:), some of them were so adorable.  For some reason I always liked the naughty ones more though.

he's twenty-ish, maybe a little older.  he's a really nice bloke, actually - we always used to have great chats after lectures and seminars.

and i agree with you about the naughty ones: i was an EBD teacher for years, and i enjoyed working with the real headbangers best.

I might be getting my breast reduction very soon!! *ecstatic*

My GP just called and he wants to see me next Monday about it.

Pea don't be sad  :zoinks:

They used to.

Now they just annoy me and make me even more insecure about myself.
Same. I wish I could afford a breast reduction.

He also tried to make it look like it was me, when flake or shleed were spamming WP a few weeks ago. he knew it wasn't me though becuase I'd posted on there that I'd be willing to help sort it out as I knew who was doing it and why.

:woohoo:

now all i have to do is wait for the shit of an examiner to find something else wrong with it.  if she doesn't (watch out for flying pigs), it's DONE, and i just need to get it permanently bound and off to the examination board, and them i'm a real doctor.  if she does, i have to... well, fuck knows, actually.  apart from justifiable homicide, that is (if she'd bothered to find out that people with AS can't read minds and actually tell me what was wrong in a couple of places, rather than saying i had to work it out for myself, it would've saved at least a week of stress for me.  bitch.   >:( )

sick fucking bass. it rattles my bones and makes me feel social for a few. saw some old friends and that was good too.

I love heavy bass. I have spent most of my life pursuing the phenomenon. When I lose my tactile senses, (happens a couple times per month and randomly) bass pulsing through my body is one of the ways I maintain my sanity.

Do you have something special to create pressure or do you have commercial "bass" rigs which actually roll off in response just above the frequency range of the most delicious waves?

Sounds cool.

I used to try to photograph those guys, sometimes. Many are there on a dare or through coercion, but when you see some of their detailed costumes, you begin to realize that, a few of these people are extremely obsessed hobbyists and have done serious research, spent money on accessories, etc.  They end up with a very convincing outfit.

Yes, the small depth would make a big difference. My thirty two inch tube television looks enormous and retarded after handling these LCDs all day.

RCAs seem pretty good. I'm glad you did not get a Westinghouse branded set.

I would EAT MY OWN ASS before I would recommend one of those fucking things, They are cheap, but that's the problem. We junk out at least one Westinghouse per week at our store alone.


(A similar set is in my future, right after a camera. I'll probably get a Sharp or an LG, because I can't afford a Sony or a Mitsubishi)


Hey, I recommend getting it calibrated by a professional. I have seen the details, even in standard DVD playback really come out by just getting it set up properly. One thing that tags along with the improved picture is an amazing reduction in power consumption and radiated heat. That will make it last longer, too. Calibration is worth the price and then some!

Enjoy it!

last summer, i bought a miniature lemon, a miniature orange and a fig tree from an online garden place thingy.  they arrived, and were doing mighty fine, until about six weeks ago, when all three started to die, even though i did everything i was supposed to do - bring them in for the winter, etc., etc.

i was so pissed off.  usually, being terribly british, i don't complain, but this time i did: i sent them an email and said how disappointed i was.

no reply for days, so i assumed that was that.

then, today, i received an email saying they were sorry my trees had died, and are sending replacements for all of them!

:woohoo:

result!  what great service - i thought they might offer me a gift voucher or something, for a few squids, but they're sending me twenty squids worth of tackle. marvellous.  ;D

I am rarely alone these days :( but today I have been alone for a short while, that was good :-)

Another good thing was that I had a meeting today that actually went very well (it seemed), which is quite unusual to me. On the other hand it was a business meeting, and those are a lot easier than personal meetings of course.

My main business is my webshop, selling electronics online. But I also do technical support for people that want to start (or extend) their own online shop (and that was what the meeting was about).

Business is always easier or me than personal
Usually, but not always for me. If I know someone very well a personal meeting can be easy. And if I don't know all details about a subject, a business meeting can be very difficult.

Not sure he said it at all. The young bloke in the film did say something along the lines of "How old are you? 80?" which was very funny.

I took my kids to see this rare event (http://www.imamuseum.org/exhibitions/toliveforever/) at the Indianapolis Museum of Art.
It's the third major exhibit of Egyptian treasures that I have attended. I have three serious books from the Ramses exhibit (Calgary, Alberta) and four from the Tut (Chicago). I was living as a rich man back then.

This time I came home with one nice book for my son. I got some post cards made from photographs of the gold, plus a lavish, mock Egyptian head dress for my daughter.



She didn't really care for the mummy X-rays, but she liked the "princess clothes" in the gift shop.

I was referring to the actual temperature of the water. It has been reaching the high fifties and low sixties for overnight temperatures, here, already! A couple of days ago the water itself (which is quite stable, compared to the air temperatures) was below seventy degrees Fahrenheit. I could NOT get in. The kids did, but I could not take it.
(I still have a high quality digital photographic process thermometer. I could post the temperature of the water to one one hundredth of a degree if I did not choose to NOT be excessive.)

The temperature of my pond got up to 19.4C yesterday, which is by far the highest it's been all year.  For most of the summer (which has been cold and overcast), it's been hovering between 14C-16C, which hasn't been good for the creatures in it.  The goldfish can't digest quickly and their immune systems are weak at that temperature, so I've lost quite a few of them to infections and some of them have an unhealthy emaciated look, though others have done fine.  Also, the tadpoles develop very slowly or pause their development altogether at low temperatures, and they've developed more in the past 3 days of elevated temperatures than they've done in the past 6 weeks of cold weather.

I think the pool temperatures here will soon reach 27 C too. The sea temperature will reach 27 C if it keeps on being >30 C in the air.

We call 22 July-22 August the 'Rot Month', because the risks of food poisoning and diseases were at greatest at this time of year before the refrigerators and modern medicine.

Really, it was just fun being competitive for once. It's not something I've done much recently.

As long as it was fun for you, then thats all you need!  8)

Nice.   Did you take part in the drinking?    I don't remember reading that you drink much.

I had one margarita. I don't like getting drunk enough that it messes with my self-control. Besides, it would have fucked up my aim too.

Wine and other beverages are better than drugs, the effects are predictable (to a point) and you can moderate your intake accordingly!   :eyebrows:

not today, but this week has finally come up with some goods.

a) the police officer dealing with the asboids next door told me how to apply even more pressure on the system (i'm going to see my MP with a petition i wrote and everyone on the street is going to sign), so it looks as though things might be moving faster.

b) the low cost therapy thing came through, so i have two appointments starting at the end of september, and, presumably, a course after that.

c) i managed to change my homeopath to one recommended by other homeopaths.

d) my acupuncturist friend has negotiated a course of treatment with another practitioner (he's going away, so can't do it himself), and i only have to pay a fiver, and he'll pay the rest, bless him.

e) the cream my darling boy got me is keeping the worst of the eczema at bay.

so, all in all...

The "something good" actually happened some time ago, but today I reap the benefits. Last night, my disc burner went bad.

Back in winter, I got a steal of a deal on a combo DVD/CD burner. I had forgotten about it until I went into my computer junk to try to find one of my older drives that I could still use to rip.

I'll be damned! I have a brand new HP/Samsung drive waiting for me.

As usual, something that happened yesterday- my mother made an account on the dating site I'm on so she could have a look at 'my guys' profiles* and had me laughing my ASS off.  I think her best comment was one of the guys who listed himself as a hopeless romantic (and certainly seems to be)- she got halfway through his articulately-written profile lauding love and said, "Wow, you'd be rough with this one."  Helluva thing to hear your mom say about you.

*before you deem that to be creepy, remember she and I haven't seen each other in nine months; call it long-distance parenting.  I dated ex #2 for over eight months and she didn't meet him once.

all sorts of coincidences happened, which culminated in me going to see the landlord of the house next door with my other (nice) neighbour.  basically, i laid it on witha trowel, and gave him my log of all the ghastly things the asboids next door get up to, and...

he said he'll give them four weeks notice to fuck off!

:woohoo:

now, don't hold your breath, cos i'm not sure it's legal to give them less than two months' notice.  but there is a light at the end of the tunnel.  just in time, as they trashed my car the day before yesterday, not that badly, but enough to worry me about the six hours driving i have to do on saturday, and the MOT next tuesday, AND how much it's going to cost to fix it.  luckily, my nice neighbour saw him do it, and will testify.   wankers.

No big deal, unless you are into wi-fi enabled boomboxes (actually this little, digitally bi-amped, one-solution device sounds amazing for what it is) or wi-fi connection to ALL your music files, via your network, with a remote!

Now we're talking!

oooooh!  :belly:

so much to say!

1.  next door's landlord (mr. singh) came round today, trying to serve notice on the asboids!  he said he'd already sent them a week's notice, but they hadn't acknowledged it.  we knew someone was in cos the window was wide open, but the wankers wouldn't answer the door.  so, in full hearing of whoever was probably listening, i gave mr. singh (who's a lovely bloke) the phone numbers for the community police woman person thing, who's dealing with it all, and told him about sending things recorded delivery, which means legally, they've acknowledged receipt.  etc., etc.

i really didn't think he'd do it, but he did - my new hero!  :pinkbeat:

2.  the little fat asboid threw a complete wobbly in the street about half an hour ago, screaming, swearing, hysterics, crying, shouting.  i've never seen anything like it - he actually threw himself on the ground and waggled his arms and legs about!   :o   i was pissing myself laughing - this kid is twelve, ffs, and hasn't got AS or any other excuse.  great entertainment.  (and if you think that sounds cruel, walk a mile in my shoes, etc.).  just as well, cos not only did they keep me from sleeping until v late last night, they woke me up when i was trying to catch up with a siesta this afternoon.  i can't fucking win.   :grrr:

however, it really looks as though they might be gone soon.  :woohoo:  and the other thing is that it's been me who's done practically all of the work to get them gone.  and if the other people on the street don't acknowledge this, you can bet your kidneys i'll be reminding them of how much they whined and how little they did: i'm really angry about that.

phew.  long post.   :-[

There are plenty of books on the net. I read and save them, most of the time. All the classics which are beyond copyrights are available for free. This was my favorite i'net discovery of all all time.

I got a clean bill of health from the doctor today. Started the blood work-up on Monday, so he had all that ready to go. Surprised him with my weight loss! I responded very well to the stress-test part.
He asked about my diet (concerned that I might be doing something crazy) and I smart-assed back that he "has my blood," so he should tell me about my diet. He pulled up my record, clicked some stuff and showed me on the screen where my cholesterol has risen over the last few years, but it has dropped into the "good" area this time. So, his main concern from before is gone, for now.

He is planning to reduce the potency of my beta-blocker meds, but that will require several more visits to make sure it's stable.
I wanted to know if it's working fine why fuck with it, but he reminded me that there is always the danger of affecting liver functionality when taking these things. Better to reduce dosages if possible.

:woohoo:

Well, my doctor did not take any tissue samples, just tickled my "home room."

I was extremely anxious about this. I always am, but this time was worse for some reason - nothing to do with the tickle. Honestly, I think it is the stress-test that I am afraid to fail. I complained about pain in my hipjoint, but he said it was OK, just tender and probably always will be.
Just glad it's over! That's the best thing I can think of for me, today.



I think the worst part of having my teeth cleaned is the polish they use. I taste the pumice for days - yuck!
No cavities is always good news!

My wife was called in early to work some overtime (which is really good pay -  and that's the good part) and since she was gone when the kids got home I had her call on her break to talk to them.
Another good thing - I was happpy/braggy about paying two bucks for gasoline, but she just paid $1.84/gallon!

Now for the fucked up part. What happened that caused them to call her in early was that a semi had overturned and much of the shipment had broken cartons, loose tape, etc. Since it was destined for her route, she helped to "re-box"  and restore all the broken cartons. It amounted to almost five cubic yards of new CDs, DVDs (some of them Blu-Ray, FFS) and small personal players with headsets all addressed to the state penitentiary.

Now wait a fucking minute! I can see a few new movies on occasion for the prisoners, but hundreds (!?!) and the new releases (!?!) and the latest technology (!?!) and CDs (!?!) and personal players (!?!). A five fucking cubic yard truckful (!?!), WTF!

and should i start going all soppy and "ahhhh!" yet, or give it another week or two?  :pinkbeat:

The former most definitely  :laugh:

As for my feelings though, giving it a month more before I say that I am sort of falling for her.

I have been having twitches/jerks for quite awhile and they have gotten more frequent and more violent. They are trying to rule out some form of Epilepsy and see if they can tie in to some pattern in my brain waves when they occur. I took pictures and will probably change my avatar this weekend. I was a Cyborg and my kids kept re-programming me to their bidding, like Lobot was there for Lando.

Cool. Not the epilepsy part though.

Something good happened this week, I got an HD for my exam. I also managed to hand my essay in on time even though I was offered an extension.

I finish my course this coming week, don't know what I will do after, this has given me something to do for a long while.

Do they tend to happen just as you are going to sleep or waking up?

I hope that they can figure out why they are happening more frequently and violently now.

I had really bad twitches and jerks for a while a few years ago, but I didn't find out what was causing it, and it cleared up eventually.  It could have been any one or a combination of side-effects from Prozac, sodium deficiency or heavy metal poisoning from the amount of fish I was eating.

Obviously, these events were not connected.
I went to see Low - they were shit, but I talked to a woman and got her number, which was nice.
Methadone seems to have cured my flu and I hope to eat some pussy on Friday.
A good day really; although I feel a bit meh probably due to a deficiency of drugs in the system.

I saved the planet

No more lights in the  bathroom in the daytime during my shower.  I didn't put the curtain back, after the carpenter took it down, so anyone can watch me as I come out naked, the guy upstairs, his wife, or his kids.  Lucky for me they never pay attention.

I put clothes in front of the door, to help the heat not go outside so much


Mom's mail had cuponds for her cigarettes, although I don't think that qualifies in some ways, and  I brought it to  her 10 minutes away.

I'm aware of that. You have to agree that the first option makes for an exciting contest. :laugh:

true.  but statistically, i reckon we're more likely to get involved with the second, which is a lot less fun.   :-\

Yeah. I've done the towels and curtains thing before, with various apartments, but this feels different. I have the sudden urge to decorate. (That and play some music loud enough to shake the floor, but the speakers and the rest of the moving truck aren't here yet.) Frugality will probably shut that one down, but the walls are light coppery orange, which is an awesome change from white-on-white-on-white (gawd I hate conventional one size fits all decoration) and I got a copper shower curtain rod and my mind's spiraling off into all kinds of color combination possibilities.

Title: Re: Post something good that happened today
Post by: DirtDawg on December 08, 2008, 11:08:55 PM
OK, now for something good.

I opened my mail and among the BS was a form letter of apology from the last place that I worked. The photography company was a large corporation and I had a retirement fund which I paid into through a profit sharing program for a few years.
Their concern seemed to be that investors would remove some of their funds from this bird-nest-on-the-ground, due to sluggish performance in the market during this recent decline in fiscal confidence worldwide.
The bad news is that my investment did not grow as expected in the past year (thus, an apologetic correspondence was sent to all plan holders), however, the good news is also part of the letter. It seems that my part of the plan has gone from a net value of $347, 800, at the end of last year, to $386, 000, this year. So, despite the economic downturn, I made over $39,000 last year and I never had to touch a fucking camera.

Even though the performance is somewhat snail-like by previous year's standards (just over eleven percent, instead of fifteen percent-whine!) I still made some money from my past years of hard work.

That's something good!

Seven dollars per day, plus a couple at two fifty, seems pretty rich to me. That would be over three hundred dollars per month!

I generally smoke a Danish blend of fine, aged tobaccos in my various pipes. (BRAVE men smoke pipes and carry blades!) I pay about forty five dollars for a month-long supply to be delivered.

That grade of connoisseur cigar fare is illegal in this country.   :zombiefuck:

(... and MORE costly, when you can find them)

I think we are only punking ourselves with the "Cuban Embargo." 
If we wanted to make a difference there, bring them out of third world status or what ever the fuck, we would remove the government, expanding slightly the Monroe Doctrine to include the rest of the globe.

The only real threat, though is probably the Russian/Venezuelan exercises. I know they are mainly doing this in response to our presence, but such a response is meant to incite. That display concerns me.

We should probably buy more of their oil, rather than dragging it all the way from the mid-east. We already import a great deal of their produce, but we still "run out"  of certain things when Mexico, California, Brazil, etc. are out of season. It makes more sense to buy textiles from there over Malaysian areas, too.

We have dollars that work, but they hesitate to enter into any kind of trade agreement with us, preferring to show us a coalition with Russian navy.
I guess a waiting game, like our policy with Cuba, will eventually work.
Again ... :zombiefuck:


I use Borkum Riff  as a spice for blending on occasion. A little goes a long way for my taste. I usually go more for the Turkish flavorings when I want to ramp up the flavors of my staple.

Just noticed ...

you have "a pipe"

???

You have ONE, SINGLE pipe?

Pipe smokers, daily pipe smoking aficionados,  use several.

I have thirty nine relatively high grade pipes from all over the world, (plus about twenty that I have kept because they are just fucking cool looking, but I don't use them), but I really only use about eight or ten in my daily rotation. A decent number of them around allows for each one to get a "rest"  between uses, if need be.

I think that my favorites will always be my collection of Petersen's. I even own a very rare (actually one-of-a-kind, hand crafted), meerschaum Petersen.

I'm more like the reverse of those numbers.

I still appreciate a great cigar, but I normally choose a Honduran, due to the ease of accessibility.

It was Sarah Hughes, shopping for her boyfriend's birthday. She bought him an iPod Touch, a fancy Bose dock system, a microphone/headset (the kind for internet convos) and a shitty HP laptop. The lucky guy apparently attends IU (medical) and she was here visiting. When I asked her if she had to deal with this press mess all the time, she just frowned and said that she was in the gym last month and someone recognised her. Working out again means that she is going to try for a comeback to most people, but she would not admit to attempting the revival of her career. Then after I had checked all her bags, she gave me a hug and one of those Hollywood press-your-cheeks-together-and-kiss-the-air goodbyes, flipped her ass at the cameras and twatted away in her higher than average heels across the ice.

I had to delay all the press guys long enough to look into every bag, so I was her hero for the moment, while she tried for an escape in her Hummer.

Poor girl!  But she's apparently doing OK for herself if she can drop two thousand bucks on a boyfriend's birthday.

Considering the forest fires you've had, and how easily they happen, I'm not surprised.
I understand myself why there are ordinances regarding when and where fireworks are appropriate odeon. Out in the wilderness is definitely not appropriate, natural causes and arson appear to be the leading causes of wildfires. http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1110768/causes_of_california_wildfires_check.html?cal=8 (http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1110768/causes_of_california_wildfires_check.html?cal=8)  http://www.livescience.com/environment/080624-ap-lightning-wildfires.html (http://www.livescience.com/environment/080624-ap-lightning-wildfires.html)

My gripe in my earlier post actually relates more to a general nanny state mentality running this state than specifically to fireworks. Wyoming has very few restrictions on types of fireworks available but I'm certain they'd nail anyone for starting a wildfire by tossing a cigarette out their window or with fireworks if they caught them, as they should. Anti tobacco fanatics and Animal Rights types are seeking to force people to conform to their version of Utopia here and it gets old pushing back every year. A law was passed with Prop 10 that was supposed to save smokers from themselves and fund pre school initiatives for kids but what it did was create a new political patronage job for every county with 80% of the money and Rob Reiner used significant amounts of the other 20% to lobby to try and force parents to send their kids to pre school at age 3. http://cssrc.us/web/1/news.aspx?id=293&AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1 (http://cssrc.us/web/1/news.aspx?id=293&AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1) If I move to Nevada it won't be for the more relaxed fireworks laws. As long as I do live in California I'll continue to try and derail the busybodies that want to run others lives for them. I'm not a smoker either, I just figure it's their decision to smoke or not.

I had an amazing night of sleep, yesterday - almost four hours, nonstop. I attacked the day like Achilles' blade and landed on winged feet.

It is well past time for me to have fallen out and found rest again, though. Twenty two hours ago, I began the day at my bag, worked up one helluva sweat, did it again about five hours ago and by all rights, I should be exhausted enough to sleep again.

I suppose this should be in the Bitchin' thread, because I am still hyper. I normally get only about half an hour to an hour of bag time, but today I took three and a half hours. It's an early day tomorrow and I should be asleep, but it's not happening.

Yes they do get very bad, mostly in southern Calif. but the Oakland hills fire nailed a lot of peoples very nice homes about 20 years ago. The streets were not designed to allow the Fire Dept proper access to fight the fires. My sister and brother in laws place by San Diego was within a half mile of a very bad fire in 2004 or so.

I haven't had a new decay since 1996, though an electric toothbrush makes the teeth cleaner and the gum flesh stronger than an ordinary one.

I was briefly offered Foreman while my boss was going to be gone, then the offer was rescinded because he wasn't going to be gone after all. Then we came in the next day and two of the eight of us on the crew were laid off. That sucks because all of us on the crew liked them. Being offered Queen for a day wasn't a big deal because of one days pay @ + 12.5% but because it lets me know I stand a good chance of lasting until May or June on this job and last time I worked on a job run by the Senior General Foreman on this job I was smoked in a guilt by association layoff because I was tooled up with a shit stirrer. If I last that long on this job then I can definitely afford to leave the country for 10 days or so.

I never got hooked by nicotine. I think I lack some gene or something.  ???

Probably. I couldn't even smoke a cigar properly, without inhaling.

if you saw me with my pipe you would probably gross out, but I do not inhale that deeply.  it is strong enough to satisfy just tasting

my lungs are much clearer since i stopped the cigarettes. there is nothing in my tobacco now, but good wholesome pure tobacco. cigarettes are so poisoned, it's hard to even imagine.

How do you inhale "not that deeply"?
Title: Re: Post something good that happened today
Post by: DirtDawg on February 14, 2009, 06:38:27 PM
How do you inhale "not that deeply"?

the difference in filling the lungs with smoke, as a cigarette invites you to do, or a slight puff, flavor rich, well cooled (a high quality pipe which condenses most of the solids from smoke is a must), diffused by mostly air on top ...


it has little to do with cigar smoking - never mind.

This was over the course of my day. An all the while i've been working, studying, I ran five miles this morning, I fixed my father and mother's garage doors, raked their yards, went to the library, did a whule bunch of pushups and situps, then came home and punched and kicked the punching bag for about thirty minutes, then suddenly had to stop. Kinda feel pretty wierd.

I normally hate to see mail!  One good thing hit my mailbox, today.

I opened the notification from my local bank advising me of my income tax return being directly deposited into my account.


I am (minorly)  rich-like, YaY!



Last year, I got my investment dividend and my income tax return in the same week. (I've had my dividend for a month - I procrastinated on my taxes this year) I have made a decision to re-invest my dividend in BBy stock  (HoW's that for a company MAN!!  Actually, their stock is at a fairly low point right now and as an employee, I get an unbelievable break. They go from the date you buy "in"  out six months to the future and the actual selling price of the stocks you buy is the one day average lowest price during that six month period. Employees get a fifteen percent discount from that six month low price. Even if I only keep it for six months, I am guaranteed at the very minimum a fifteen percent return on my investment. NOT bad, really!  I only wish I had more than fourteen thousand to invest, right now), so I don't have as much "funny money"  as last year.  (Last year I re-did half the house with all the bounty of my yearly dividend and my tax return) 

We will still have a nice night out on our anniversary (I have made big plans for her for the day - she knows to keep that day free, but the spa/pampering thing is a surprise), buy about a hundred movies (mostly for the kids  -  we don't do television in our house) and CDs (a few for all of us - we're all music lovers), all new living room furnishings  (TeH HoRRoR!!  but, she wants it ...), both cars "renewed/tune-up/maintained/" in a big way (put it off for a while, time to catch up), seven books on my endless list, a new sewing machine for my wife (she has it all picked out), a bunch of jeans and tops for the kids (this is constant), a fancy Viburnum fragrant flowering shrub I have coveted for a few years and a few other things, but - ALAS, my camera will have to wait, again.
I will have to wait.
I feel that my investment return will either buy a camera or a HDTV. We'll have to see where we are in six months.




BTW, this is what it is like to be "retired-ish,"  with all you previous work, hopefully set in motion to save yourself from yourself.  You have moments of great clarity which only slightly punctuate ages of confusion.

I think that investing in the place you work for is fine especially if you get a good discount on their stock like DirtDawg does, but you would not want to make it your only investment over the long term.

It was a matter of his leaving out one small but crucial step in planning an event. Threw his entire plan into jeopardy, and he got angry. Managed to calm him down long enough for him to come up with an acceptable solution on his own. :whew:

12 and 15, soon to be 13 and 16. That was one reason why the workshops on adolescent Asperger's issues were of particular interest for me. The older son is diagnosed, and the younger son has some spectrumy qualities, though he has never been formally assessed.

I think that old adage is faulty from its premise.


Like Callaway has already mentioned, though, while we may be able to contribute to our fortunes on a minuscule level at work, we should not place all our eggs into one basket.

Mine are not. This is only my fifth time to invest privately. I use a professional, mostly, but one things they do not want you to know is that collectibles are unbelievably profitable and extremely RISKY, to say the least. I have been very lucky following trends in modern culture.

Seen it? I've been to open sessions at GDC with EA managers, discussing it. Another time, EA reps came to do a presentation at my college and got pretty grilled by students about it. I was graduating at about the same time all that was going on.

Things seem to have changed since then, though. The alpha schedule for this cycle is roughly equivalent to what they've had at the film studios I worked for. I was pleasantly surprised, considering the expectations I'd had going in.

During my ACL reconstruction, the surgery was taking a very long time due to my very dense bones making drilling slow! So, they called in for a catheter and after an hour of trying, they stuck a camera up there and discovered I have a branch going in that leads to a "false urethra" as in it doesn't go back all the way to the bladder! So they finally got the thing inserted and finished my surgery. I'ts a good thing I was under during that, because I would have been pissed! They took a bunch of photos so I can inform other doctors later if need be.

I had to head up a meeting  ...


That could have been horrible, but .......


I managed a nature break just before I had to go in and I relaxed a bit, got fresh rain on me, watched a funky cloud turn inside out, tasted yarrow root, brought a scared robin mother back to her nest, started a layering on a plant I want to grow ... (dirty hands are not as much of a hindrance as a stumbling tongue and my tongue was solid.)


I was freshened when I had to start.  It went fairly well. I managed to get many others involved in contributing to the meeting's agenda, which was my goal.
It's like, once I started, I had made more people than I had expected, "walk among the stars,"  and get this shite done!!


There is great danger, but also great benefit in successfully dipping your anti-social wick past the meniscus of the surface of social horrors that we encounter, each day.  Drawing it up and lighting it is not always possible, but when you can manage it, your fire carries on for hours.


It is those succeeding hours that can be most horrific. I did it and I am not too overstimmed to type legibly, as many times before.

Haha, blood-suckers. Be thankful that you don't live in Sweden. They eat small businessmen alive here, especially when it's a socialist government in charge.

Astrid Lindgren, who wrote the Pippi Longstocking books, got 110%(!) in tax once for honestly reporting to the tax authorities what she earned.

When she protested against this she was publically ridiculed in the parliament by the social "democrat" economy minister.  ::)

Living on disability feels good when it comes to taxes. I only pay local tax (about 20% of my income, which is quite low in Sweden) and I don't work for it anyway.  8)

I only pay GST on goods and services. No other tax. If fact, the government throws money at us cos we have 5 kids, sometimes thousands at a time.

(yesterday)  Reconciled with a friend I had (for awhile) thought I might never speak with again.

What happened?
Abbreviated version:  He's engaged but was kinda making passes at me, and I started thinking it might be immoral to even keep talking to him (thinking, if I was his his fiancee's place, what would I want), so I cut him out for awhile (several months), no explanation (though he correctly inferred what it was).  It finally occurred to me that I could just tell him to stop making passes at me and then it would probably not make me feel guilty to talk to him, so I contacted him apologizing, explaining, and asking to be friends again, he apologized as well for being inappropriate, and we're back on good terms.  :)

It's the outdoor air heat pump (http://en.ivt.se/products.asp?lngID=471&lngLangID=1) kind of thingy. Basically an inverted fridge. Very neat when it works. Saves lots of money for us.

A few years ago I had the choice of moving into two houses (not that I really wanted to move to either). I moved to one which required two years worth of rennovation. It was awful. However, just today, house number two became complelely engulfed and was completely gutted by fire. So, if I had moved into that house, I may not have had a house at all after a couple of years (I know this rests on the assumption that whatever caused the fire still would have been present if I was there)

That counts?  :-\ Of course it was a good thing for the old lady who lives there. Still, made me feel a little better.

The Sox blew a one-run game with two outs in the ninth on a two-run dinger that was reviewed and cleared the Green Monstah by all of a few inches, if that! So that kinda sucked! I guess before the game I got 'Oil Can' Boyd's autograph and had a nice chat with him. He was a blast to watch pitch back in the 80s.

I got my internet connection back today. 

There was a BT engineer going up telephone poles in the area on Wednesday, and our telephone line went dead at some point in the early evening, while our ADSL connection still worked but was running at about 36Kbps on what should be a 5Mbps line.  On Friday, another BT engineer came to fix whatever the first one had fucked up, and he got the phone system working, but the ADSL was still slow and was running at 56Kbps.  We kept calling the technical support line, each time having to go through the standard quizz of what our phone number was, what model of router we used, whether our test socket had a BT logo on it etc, administered by people in an Indian call centre with accents that made it difficult to understand what they were saying, and each time were told one of several stories; that there was a problem with our line and they were working on it, that there was a problem with our line and we needed to contact Talk Talk (we have different companies supplying our telephone and broadband services; Talk Talk supplies the telephone service, BT supplies the broadband service), or that our line was fine and the problem was with our internal wiring or settings. 

On Saturday, the ADSL stopped working completely, but now it's back and the speed is normal again.  Unfortunately, I think BT are going to be replacing a buried cable up the street soon, so we might have to go through this process all over again.  Also, the connection still seems flaky; random sites keep timing out for no obvious reason when I try to contact them.

Peter, what kind of router/modem do you use?
Title: Re: Post something good that happened today
Post by: Peter on May 24, 2009, 11:38:50 AM
A Linksys WAG354G v2.  Is there a model/brand of router that's notorious for sucking and that I should make sure I avoid?

My main computer and my laptop connect to it through cat5e cables and Mum's laptop connects wirelessly.  We also had our phone system rewired within the past 12 months with cat5 cable, when the old cabling developed a fault, and the router is plugged into the first socket after the BT test socket.  Also, a few months ago, I soldered the connections in the socket the router is plugged into, since they'd come loose, possibly because of excessive vibrations from heavy traffic at the front of the house where the socket is.  The vibrations are so bad that bottles, jugs and other objects in my room jingle or rattle against each other and against the surfaces they're on every time a lorry, bus or even a car goes past unless they're weighed down or sit very flat against their surface, and the traffic is nearly continuous at certain times.

*Edit*  Damn, my sense of humour was last seen wearing concrete boots and chicken wire at the bottom of a lake.

I was scheduled for a grilling by the boss of my direct supervisor about an extracurricular project I did not complete by her arbitrary 15 May 2009 deadline. I went in expecting the worst and was prepared to bring the smackdown. After all, this was a pet project and not what I am actually paid to do, so it doesn’t have priority over my actual tasking, which directly supports the Fleet.

Anyway, she started in on her spiel and I went into my very rare, but quite effective, manipulation of the conversation to the point I was providing answers before she asked the questions. Instead, I was the one actually asking her the questions. I don’t think she knows what hit her. It’s been awhile since I have done this and it has never been intentional. I was not expecting to have her all but apologizing to me about my tardiness on the project.

I am fucking brilliant! :headbang2:

Nope! She turns three the first day of school, so if she has to wait another year or come in at the half-way point, then so be it. She will be the third sibling to go to this pre-school, so they would let her in late. This is pretty much the only affordable, non-religious based pre-school in the area. The majority are run out of churches and may be free, but they it is more like Sunday School, so no way in hell I would send my kids to such a place. I want them to grow up with religious intolerance and not be shackled by one single belief system.

Nah, Linksys routers should be decent enough. Maybe you need to check if you can download an updated firmware. :-\

I was thinking about my Netgear router--a firmware change to an open source variant not manufactured by Netgear did the trick. No more timeouts.

I followed your suggestion and upgraded the firmware, and I've not noticed nearly as many timeouts lately.

Excellent. I hope it continues to work for you.

It's a good call. I have only recently myself learned the necessity of current firmware from following the Geek Squad learnings.

I never even knew that things like DVD players, televisions, cameras, cell phnoes and home theater receivers could be upgraded so easilyly.

More like a leaning towards not bothering to properly test their products before launch. Look at the difference between PC games and Consoles in the reliability stakes, well up until recently anyway.

Firmware is a big deal in my business as it presents a lot of safety issues. That Mars Lander crashed because of a bad calculation put into the firmware. A lot of time and money goes into safety analyses and testing of firmware. Contracts try to ensure vendors provide disclosure to changes. Parts obsolescence is a huge money driver in acquisition. By time systems get fielded, they are already dealing with parts obsolesence. This results in many lifetime buys or added design efforts to allow for more plug-and-play, which raises a lot of concerns for safety. Maybe not a big deal for a TV, but for an anti-ship missile self-defense system it can mean the difference betwen the system working and savng the ship and personnel, or failing and either damaging the ship, killing personnel, or damaging the environment if it fails unsafe or not performing at all and allowing the ASM to hit the ship. We have conferences on this shit.

Yesterday I drove 90 minutes to Annapolis to see Robyn Hitchcock & The Venus 3, which includes Peter Buck from R.E.M. The show was at the Ram's Head Tavern, a small venue with restaraunt-style seating. Our table was off the corner of the stage.

Before I get into that, I need to talk about my arrival into Annapolis, which was my first ever trip there. My friend was coming from Baltimore and was running late, so I drove around town a bit and saw the Naval Academy and the boardwalk. I ended up out by some small college where I found free 9-hour parallel parking, so I figured what the hay! I pulled over and parked, closed up the windows and the moonroof, which requires the key in the ignition, and proceeded to get out when I thought it was clear. It didn't stay clear for long, so I rushed to get out and get my door closed again so it would not get torn off by oncoming traffic. In doing so, I let go of the key in the ignition and had apparently hit the lock out of habit, even though I have remote keyless entry, so I almost never manually lock this car. Sure enough, the door latched and I had not unlocked the passenger side and all windows had closed shut. It was 45 minutes to show time and I was locked out of my car with the radio playing and no idea exactly where I was in relation to the venue. I called AAA and after a short hold they got someone on their way, arriving just as my friend did. This guy knew what he was doing and got the car open in less than a minute. As it turned out, we were only a few blocks from the venue and made it with time to spare.

The show was awesome. Robyn Hitchcock is hilarious between songs making up bullshit about the meanings of the songs, some really off-the-wall stuff. Good times!

The smart and fortunate Poles, yes. Was your grandpa involved in the 1944 uprising? Then I must give him that he was BRAVE! :arrr:

He was too young but his dad, my great grandfather, was.

That was brave. They had no chance against the Germans but they actually fought them for two whole months with just pistols, rifles and molotov cocktails. Not bad.

My grandad got partisan training and spent most of the war near the Norwegian border in case of an invasion. He was pretty angry at me for admiring Hitler...

Lol. I used to be skinny before puberty. Now i'm bulky, but at least its proportioned.

I was too developed for my age.  Had C cup boobs at 14, gained weight afterwards then lost most of it by 17.

I was raised rough. I grew into a hulking monster by the time I was 19.

Oh no I wouldn't smart-arse since I'm not Jewish.

My great grandad wasn't majorly involved and later got shot by a Ukrainian but my grandma's uncle was.  Also my stepdad's parents were in Armia Krajowa.

This overweight gal sat next to me, I saw bra :wanker: :wanker:

She had nice tits, and her butt was big :wanker: :wanker:

Nice face, but I didn't like her gut.

Soon as she got up, I almost cummed on the floor in the libary :o :o

My wife and baby didn't die while waiting for the tow truck when the car broke down on a stretch of freeway that didn't have an emergency lane. The car was just over a crest and they got a fire truck there to park behind her in case a large truck couldn't stop or change lanes in time.

It's a piece of shit, but to be more specific the alternator system stopped charging the battery or something. That's all we know so far, there could be other issues.

I had that exact same thing happen once at night while I was driving from Louisiana to Alabama with my mother and young nephew in the car.  Fortunately we were only about an hour and a half from home when the car finally died, so we called my dad to come and get us and a kind stranger stayed with us to keep us safe until my dad got there.  My dad and I drove back the next day with a fully charged battery that fit the car and we drove the car home and replaced the alternator.

When my daughter was about three years old, I took her with me to find a used car, something I could drive to and from work with. There was one place with some really expensive sports cars in addition to the cheaper ones. We stopped to have a look at a convertible Mercedes that cost a fortune. She noticed the missing roof, pointed at it and said "Daddy, that car is broken".

I've fully taken up the quest of my destiny, and that is to pave the way for the aspies of the future. Unfortunate kids with parents that don't understand.

I will educate, get the word out, and keep coming up with ideas on how to carve a nice right out of the heart of society for us. You've already heard some of my ideas. If anyone can do it, I bet I can.

I discovered that I will be paid two and one half times my normal wage for working on the Independence Day Holiday (09/07/04). (I get time and one half for being there on a holiday, plus an eight hour day of "holiday pay")

 :headbang2:

Wow, that's really cool.

Ya know, I keep looking at this job thing and there are more benefits to staying around full time than I had even thought.
I can't remember if I mentioned that employees also get a discount on buying stock in their company. I put six thousand dollars from my yearly dividend (paid out from other investments) into BB stock this year.
They take the lowest price within the following sixth month period as the base price of your stock, then give you a fifteen percent discount from the lowest market value during that period. If you do nothing more than sell it after six months, you are guaranteed at least a fifteen percent gain if the stock price just sits there, unchanged. Interestingly, the price of BB stock has really climbed since February and I don't mean fifteen percent, either. The stock was at a fairly low point when I bought in, due mainly to the company offering early retirement buy-outs to many of the corporate employees and the news surrounding this was harsh in the wake of CC closing.

It is tough work, but there are many "good things" about working here, too.

My husband had a meeting with the head of student services and it looks like they will start sending a SUV to take our daughter to school.

For three days in a row, he went out to get her off the school bus and she had fallen asleep and was hanging from the harness they have been using to strap her to the bus seat.  The third day, he took a picture and told the people on the bus that was child abuse and it was going to stop.  Seriously, if we put her in that harness and paraded her through town, someone would call Child Protective Services on us.

Got an excuse phonecall yesterday.

I had been calling social services last thursday about a form I had not received, and asked if it had been sent to me.
They said it had been sent, and that I should return it before monday.

I told them I was aware of that, but that I had not received it yet, and also told them I thought that that could very well be, because my status had changed.

Got told that was not the case, it had been send. And after a while of negotiating they were willing to send it to me again.

So...

No mail. Not on friday, and not on saturday.

Called them on monday about that. First they were not answering the phone. They did in the afternoon, and the woman I spoke said she could clearly remember sending me the form on thursday. Took me a while of negotiating before she agreed to give it another try to send it to me. And of course, there would be possible consequenses because I had not returned it in time.

And late in the afternoon she called to apologise. Indeed, the form had not been send. And it would take a while before they could send it, because mutations in my status had not been processed yet.

Curious thing, Now all of a sudden she did remember how she had not been able to print it last thursday....
Strange, she had clearly remembered sending it just a few hours before.
Tricks of the mind.

Now I wonder if I will get a reminder to send the form in in a few days.

I think I will.  :evillaugh:

I am glad she had the guts and decency to apologise.

So what is their stated reason for strapping your daughter in the bus seat? I have never seen this done on a school bus. I'm pleased that the problem appears to be resolved but the way you use the term strap it does not sound like seat belt.

Is it 65 out of 100?
Title: Re: Post something good that happened today
Post by: Adam on July 02, 2009, 12:47:27 PM
65 is a 2:1

It goes:

1st which is 70+
2:1 which is 60-69
2:2 which is 50-59
3rd which is 40-49

and less than 40 is a fail

My highest it 73 but I usually get somewhere in the high 60s which is fine

I always want to drop by at a sale but I never have any bargaining cash or when I have a tiny amount they have cool things that I can not afford to buy. I just got buttloads of cash two days ago, from an unexpected dividend. I am pleased with my find.

It's only minor, so it's easily stopped. I apparently don't brush the gums when I brush my teeth, making them sensitive.

You should brush the gums as well, of course. Didn't they tell you that in elementary school in Ireland?

I was in a special school for a fair bit of my life, full of spastics and mongols. Everyone else was still doing basic shite while I was the only one getting extra education due to the fact that I was one of the rare few people there that wasn't mentally retarded. By the time I got to secondary school, my previous "extra" education proved to be inadequate, I realised I knew fuck all of the most simplest of things. Special/spazz schools here only seem to be holding pens for retards really, in the guise of "education". :orly:

I'm not too worried about my gums though, it's easily sorted and they were surprised on how healthy the actual teeth were. Only had 2 fillings in my life, the last one was due to my tooth being chipped in a fight. No signs of decay.

It was like that when we moved to the country a number of years ago. Here in the suburbs they have special schools for kids with autism but in the country, it was mostly retards. So we took our eldest son out of there and get him to go to regular school full time. Unfortunately that regular school also sucked. We ended up moving back here after only 2 years. Fuck the country. The kids are at a much better school now where everyone one is more understanding.

This will actually be my first year, and I'm not sure yet.  ::)  Most likely be a toss-up between psychology and biology -- or possibly combining the two into something along the lines of speech-language pathology (since that also involves linguistics, yay).

This semester, though, I'm taking a course on pseudoscience in psychology (which sounds extremely interesting), intro to cognitive science, a mandatory academic writing course, and intro to chemistry. Not looking forward to chemistry, but it's mandatory if you're considering a biology major.  :zombiefuck:

I talked to my younger sister today and mentioned my tenative plans to go to Taupo if my grandmothers estate is taken care of in a timely manner. She expressed interest and between her wanting to go anyway and me hounding her in a minor league way she is committed to go there too. So if none of our siblings/cousins fuck it up with the house sale papers we will go sometime in early September. She lives in San Diego so we could both fly to LAX to meet and fly out. Splitting hotel and car rentals will make it cheaper per person. One device I used was to tell my sister that grandma would have approved of her going overseas. The only time grandma didn't like overseas travel was when men in the family have gone to war.

Just got back from Robot Chicken On Wheels where I hung out with Matt Seinrich and Seth Green, who are total Star Wars geeks like me. The local 501st was there and gave Matt and Seth some swag, so I talked to them at the after party about hooking them up with some swag from the DCSWCC, which I am a member of. We get licenses to do t-shirts, pins, etc. that we sell to raise money for local kid's charities. Matt and Seth both just lit up with excitement about getting some rare Star Wars swag. They gave me their assistant's e-mail at Shadow Machine to get in touch with them about some of our stuff. They were both freakin' awesome dudes and a blast to hang with. I got pictures, so I'll have to show some. The one with Seth I will probably use as my profile picture here and on facebook!

Thanks, I'll have to show her that pic tomorrow. She gets so excited over things. We have her a wodden kitchen set that I had to assemble the night before. She loved that. And we filled her room with balloons in the morning when we came to wake her up. She calls them bubbles.

I just rode a bunch of fun rollercoasters at Six Flags:  Magic Mountain (outside of LA).    My favorites were X2 (insane G forces) and Deja Vu.    The Batman rollercoaster and Goliath (255 foot drop) were pretty cool too.   I would say that this is the best rollercoaster theme park that I have been to.   Busch Gardens in Tampa, FL is the second best.

Two Cs and a fail.  The latter is only due to the fact that I spazzed out and didn't turn up to one of the exams.  It doesn't look good on paper but I'm happy with it.  Was expecting much worse.

I got a phonecall today, of a replacement of my contact (I had asked for him specifically) And he gave his approval, will send me the papers today, lessened my boring duties. And I can go on with this programm to find a job with this agency specialised in autism and jobs.

Sometimes, knowing the right person, bureaucracy can have good shortcuts. The man that called me now had told me 3 years ago, when we happened to meet in a very different setting, that if I ever needed someone at his work, I could ask for him.

Felt almost like a orgasm in my hand, with a very long afterglow.

Does that mean they are in or that they have one more game to go? I quit watching football this year. Michael Vick was the last straw, motherfuckers would have Rae Caruth playing still if he wasn't doing 18 to 24 years. No more NFL, I'm sure the few fans they lose over this will leave them laughing at us all the way to the bank.

Shleed: put the fucker out on CD on an indie label, get one of the radio stations to play it under your name and publicise heavily that some fucker tried to pinch the song. That'll fuck 'em. I doubt they'd have the money George Harrison did when he had to fight the 'My Sweet Lord' case.

PPK: They are in the Grand Final, which is in 2 weeks. The seniors, reserves and under 16s won their second semi finals which gives them passage straight into the Grand Final. The thirds have to play tomorrow to see if they go into the preliminary.

Met with my handtherapist.

Was brilliant. Getting my tactile sensitivity back in all my fingers. Feels so good to be able to really feel again.
Felt almost like a orgasm in my hand, with a very long afterglow.




What happened to your hand? Did you have an injury?

Enduring stresslevels for too long. Too much tension on sinews and muscles. So, my hand stopped functioning partially, and a finger dislocated a lot. Bit tricky when that happened lifting pots from the stove. Losing power all of a sudden was tricky too while cooking. I could not write more than half of my name. Then I had to change the way I held my pen.
Worst for me was losing tactile qualities. I am hypersensitive and love it. Hate it when that is gone. It meddles with my capability to think.

Things are improving rapidly now. Been a problem since april. Now it will probably be over soon.

I sleep with a splint. And excersise regularly.

She's going to put me on powertraining for my fingers after this week I hope. Harrassing clay or so.  :green:

another cool thing that happened is a book i ordered got here. it's a hardback copy of tolstoy's War and Peace, printed in '42 so not long after barbarossa.

when i was looking at it i found a bookmark in one of the pages, with lists of all the main characters on it, pretty cool.

also i ate all my dinner, which was roast potatos chicken and gravy

then me and lily took a  ball to the park to play for a bit, and she played with some new dogs we haven't met before, and one we met the other day

there were a load of scumbag teenagers on the playground bit we walk past to get to the fields, and it was getting late, but i don't think they said anythign, so we got past ok  :laugh:

not much has happened today really as i didn't get up till 3pm. oh i went to pick up my brothers from school and saw my dad with his daughter at the gate. he was talking to some othe parent though and didn't see me. probably woukdn't recognise me anyway  :laugh:

saw one of my old teachers while i was there too. she wouldn't recognise me either i bet  :laugh:

When the translators of the King James Bible found that a direct ( as in word for word ) translation did not convey the proper context from Chaldean, Hebrew or Aramaic into English they would insert connecting or clarifying words in italics to indicate where the words were added to preserve proper meaning.

Well, not today, but something I really liked yesterday.

I got an old map from my Dad covering the area where I live.

I already had a facsimile of the area from the official Dutch ministry of war map from 1851,
Now I got an official German map from 1936 covering the same area. 1:100,000
There's old pinholes in it. And they were not made by my dad. He bought it as a used map in a bookshop a bit less than 50 years ago.

The area where I live is still water on both old maps.

I like looking at stuff like that. I have a few old maps of Manchester  (the city I live in) from 19th century

I also have a reproduction of one from the town that I live in. I can see right where my house is and stuff. Really awesome to look at I think

You can find stuff like that on ebay btw, if you live in a well-populated area

My dad has thousands of maps. His latest obsession is making sure all the things he collected end up at places where they will be appreciated. He's sending things to archives and museums now.
He also does not want to burden us with sorting it in the case he'd die.
I do share his liking for maps.
Hope he'll give me some more.

Think about what "your" goverment steals from you instead. Here they steal 40% of my parents' income, for example, and we get less and less for the money, which is one of the reasons that I'm not at all ashamed of getting disability.

I always try to give something to homeless people I meet.  It's stupid to say that they are all drunks or crackheads, the way the economy is going at the moment thousands are losing jobs which means that they can't afford to support themselves and end up homeless.  We have something called 'The Big Issue' magazine here, which is sold by homeles speople to give them a way to get money with dignity.

You can't completely reform most homeless people, since they usually resort to drugs to pass the time/surpress depression. Sometimes sex and violence, even. 80-90% of the time the money you give them funds their habits. It's difficult to determine which is which, so I don't bother at all. They failed, shit happens.

I saw an old homeless woman asleep outside the royl northern college of music or whatever it's called once on my way into uni. It was freezing that day too.

When I was a kid and we went to the theatre I remember there were always homeless men outside. I gave them some money sometimes. There are a lot who are drug addicts or whatever, but tbh a lot of the time their problems come after they end up on the street. And obviously they're not all drunks. Either way, they're still people. Similar arguments were used 150 years ago about people in poverty - they're drunks and go and spend anymoney they do get down the pub, so sod them. A lot of homeless people likely have mental problems as well. If it weren't for my family, where would I be now? On the street probably.

Very adroitly done. I see the same mooches now that I did 5 years ago. The challenge stands, come to Vallejo and show me the mooches that are not using. We can keep a tally. I am not Diogenes (a stinky bum in his own right) trying to seek out a sober honest bum.

The preponderance of them in Vallejo California ARE! Perhaps in Manchester you have 90% of your homeleess really want a job and don't abuse liquor and other drugs. I seriously doubt that. The Salvation Army and other charitable outfits supply job opportinities and free rehab programs for those that want them. Tell yourself whatever platitudes make you happy Soph. Bottom line is that the portion of my income that goes to charity is not going to any homeless bum.

We have to send our laptop in to get it fixed and dell shipped us the box to send the computer in and they gave us a new power cord which we didn't even need but we decided to keep for in case our other power cord gets wrecked. Those things cost 100 bucks.

On my way to work I made a sharp U-Turn and stopped in the middle of the road to rescue a box turtle. He didn't pee in my car, which is a first, and never came out of his shell even after being set free deep in the woods and swamp near my work. I took a picture this time and will have to share when I get the chance.

I got a call from the vet today and Harley seems to be responding to the meds. I won't know for sure until he gets another round of bloodwork done tomorrow. But they say he's happy, eating well, (all great signs) and apparently everyone loves him because he's so affectionate with the staff. lol. I'm going to visit him this afternoon.

My favourite memories as a kid were going to Babcia and Dziadzio's house for homemade perogies and dill pickles. 8)

I just came back from visiting my cat at the hospital. Poor boy is still hooked up to IV's but he was really excited to see me. All he wanted to do was push his forehead into mine so I could cover him with smooches. He was purring so loudly, the people outside the door heard him. I cried when I had to give him back to the tech.  :-\ But they're taking really good care of him and he looks better than he did yesterday.

If it's a Polski church then its most definitely Catholic. 

Polish people are pretty easy to pick out cause they stand out a mile imo.  At least the dumb, dodgy ones from the countryside do.

Oh and my friend bought me drinks not because I'm not legal but because I'm broke and he's generous :P

Yeah it was rough, and Harley isn't even my cat to begin with. He's my ex's cat but I adore him. If something happened to my cat, Destiny? I would be an absolute mess. She's been in my life longer than anyone else...my ex, my kids etc. It's been Destiny and I for the past 13+ years. She's my girl. I can't even think about something happening to her.

I seriously love the name Spaz. That's awesome.  8)

Why yes there was. I told Soph I was going to have a farm and he only wants to come and see me for my llamas. I told him it doesn't matter how badly he wants a girlfriend, no shagging the llamas. I fear I have to get a sign made and post it on the fence.

My neighbours rock. :green: They're the main reason I don't want to to move. I keep flipping back and forth over whether to keep this house (it's in my name) and reno it so that I'm here for good and the ex can go and get his own place. Or to reno it, sell, make a profit and the kids and I move into a smaller house, preferably a bungalow. Either way, I'll definitely make money given what I paid for it and what it's worth now.

The biggest issue is that I would need to make it more disabled friendly for my Mum when she comes to visit because she can't handle all the stairs (there's 3 flights).

okay, I totally went off on a tangent.  :P This has been taking up a lot of my brain space lately.
Title: Re: Post something good that happened today
Post by: Blasted on October 15, 2009, 10:15:07 AM
I think you should stay in the house you have now and just renovate it.  Good neighbours are a rarity nowadays :P
Title: Re: Post something good that happened today
Post by: Celticgoddess on October 15, 2009, 10:27:13 AM
True. But I don't really love the house. :P It's too big for me (the ex loved big houses) but I love the location and the neighbours. Hmmm...if the mortgage is paid off the next 2 years then that will decide it for me and I'll definitely stay.

I have to discuss it with the ex. I guess it depends on how much money it would cost for me to renovate it to my liking.

Well that's a huge step in the right direction. Now brace yourself because the mother in me is coming out. :P You've got to apply yourself, B. You don't have media studies (which you hated anyway) and you've been given yet another chance. The teachers that you love are sticking up for you so need to prove to them, and to yourself, that sticking their neck out for you was a good idea. I know you have it in you. It's just a matter of staying dedicated. ;)

You rode with your expired Oyster card?

What would the fine have been if you had been caught?

It's expired but I can still use it to top up.  I just can't buy a weekly travelcard with a young person's discount like I usually do.  My mum didn't give me enough change this morning so I only had enough to get to college but managed to find a pound in my purse for the bus to Paddington.

I'm not sure to tell you the truth.  My friend once got caught for using a childs £2 day travelcard (an adult one is £6) and she had to pay a fine of £60.  I suppose my one would have been similar.

finallly watched the last half hour of harry potter

poor dumbledore :(

here if u don't pay for a ticket on the train and the dude comes and asks for your tcket, you can just pay for one there and then

i think. that's what happened to me when i was going to wigan a couple times. and the one time they didn't check was te one week we'd gone into town beforehand so had to get the train from victoria station, which has barriers, so you HAVE to buy a ticket. so the one time we bought tickets we would have got away with it anyway :P

this was back when i was in college and trying really hardto be normal btw, if you guys are wondering why i had friends to go out with  :lol:

They are if I crash :laugh: Since I have to have my kneecaps replaced at some point anyway, they're more susceptible to being pushed out of joint (as they're not very strong) and then I have to manually slam them back into place. Plus, I'm pretty sure I'd be hysterically ungraceful on skiis. To the point where others would consider me a spectator sport.  :hahaha:

Mother cats and kittens purr at each other to establish mutual reassurance. A severely traumatised cat will purr as an appeal for gentle treatment. It's a conditioned reflex in the species.

Okay, I was feeling really good until I got to this part. :P

Although I have to say, he was really relaxed and snuggly and not the least bit tense. I think he was quite aware that it makes him feel better. I got lots of kisses and snuggles while we waited for the session to end. He associates it with a positive experience because he gets so much TLC for the time it takes to run the fluid. He sits there patiently while I put the needle in. No flinching. No stress.

Poor guy though.

Sorry, CG, I know you aren't mistreating Harley. Far from it, you're giving him the best possible care that any loving pet owner could. It's just that most of us associate purring in cats with sunny windows and sitting in warm laps. The notion that a cat might bust out purring while getting an IV is a bit odd, but it's still natural cat behaviour.

Title: Re: Post something good that happened today
Post by: P7PSP on October 23, 2009, 08:38:50 PM
It is very nice. I put two types of hardball through it and 22 rounds of Winchester RA9BA 124 grain Bonded JHP +P. 25 rounds of Federal 147 grain HST2 (spicier than I expected) and 25 rounds of Winchester Silvertip 115 JHPs. It is totally reliable thus far. Also last time I shot the P2KSK my groups were stringing vertically, this time I had put the large backstrap on it, mimicking the 1911 w/arched MSH I think, and it tightened up the groups and eliminated the vertical stringing. You may like the M&P series should you decide to look into a new pistol. I no you are out of work now so this would not be a good time.
Title: Re: Post something good that happened today

Post by: Celticgoddess on October 23, 2009, 08:47:46 PM
The first time I ever fired a rifle was in a pal's backyard. He lived in the middle of nowhere in rural GA and he had these targets set up on trees that I was supposed to hit. I hit the first two but missed the third. So I asked him what's on the other side of the forest because that bullet has to travel somewhere. He said "A trailer park. So if you here someone scream, we bust ass and get the fuck outta here." :lol:

The last pistol I had was a 1911 style... what is a USP?
Title: Re: Post something good that happened today
Post by: P7PSP on October 23, 2009, 09:02:28 PM
I knew a guy about that smart, back in 1993 for July 4th he wanted to fill a small fire extinguisher bottle with smokeless powder and set it of where a 38 year old crank cooker had died of a heart attack 4 months earlier on his own dads property. When a couple of us were trying to talk him out of it his initial response was that he would only fill the bottle halfway  :duh: but filling it halfway could actually create a bigger explosion. I think he finally figured it out that having the Napa Serrifs, The CA State Dept of Justus and the BATF on his ass would not be good.



The last pistol I had was a 1911 style... what is a USP?
It is a polymer framed Hk with a 4.4" barrel. Lower rh corner is the 45, above is the 9mm USP, the USPc is a 40 and the squeezecocker is the P7PSP.

* Went for a hike with my oldest
* Rescued 3 snails, 3 slugs and 2 catepillars from certain death as they attempted to cross a busy section of pavement.
* Finished 2 errands that I had been avoiding forgetting to do and I'm so relieved it's done
* Mum went to the nephralogist and she's getting a shunt inserted in her stomach and in her arm but no talk of the transplant yet so I've got loads of time to get things on my end in order.
* Got a happy text on my cell
* Had 2 girlfriends unload uber personal info that I'm sworn to take the grave which on one hand is a compliment because they know I'm like a vault, but on the other hand I worry about the choices they're making so I have to figure out how to counsel them on that.
* Worked my butt off cleaning my house and although I still have a lot of stuff to organize, every thing is scrubbed to a shine and it's nice and clean.
* Finished all the laundry in the house
* Now I can happily relax

Reacted on an ad on Marketplace for two leather couches for free. I had been pondering on two nice ones in a second hand store, but these look much better, are cheaper, and the second hand shop charges high transportation fees.

Tomorrow I'm welcome to look at the leather ones. And they are even willing to bring them to me if I want them.

It will be such an improvement and welcome change in the interior.

I was jumping with joy.

My girls liked the pics on marketplace. So I think they will handle the chance ok.

I've got my self two couches. Only need to get them here, but that will happen next Saturday.

Then my broken couches will be brought to the dump too, along with other big stuff that does not fit in a garbage bin.

Nice  :) . I love my brothers.

I have some real competition for the sales board at work. Me and one of the other guys at work are fighting it out for top salesperson for the month. It is our first full month. I have about 7 on him but he is doing insane amounts of sales each day ad my lead keeps dwindling. The others won't come near us but he is a real chance to beat me. Will see. Two working days to go. Tomorrow could decide this one.
If he does well tomorrow I think I could probably take him out. He doesn't look like he could stave off a beating  >:D  :lol:

Hyke - That's exciting stuff! Especially when you got a deal on these couches over the other set you were looking at. I always feel so good when I get a bunch of stuff out of the house. It's therapeutic

Les - When it doubt, just kick his ass. Oh...wait...was that my outside voice? :green:

It's only 8am here but the day has got off to a good start and I'm probably a little too perky today. Could annoy those who are not morning people. :laugh:

The 11 year old certainly is. The 8 year old does have huge meltdowns and occasional mute-nes things. And is more at a loss when routine changes than her sister, yet, she also has the best social skills of all of us. So, I'm not sure of her, and not ready to get her through the diagnostic process. But think I will do that when things have settled down a bit more.

It's different from a spelling bee. She has to write things down. A story with difficult words will be read, and all the kids have to simultaneously write it down. So it's more like an exam/test. And she loves doing tests. If the surroundings don't freak her out, she'll do fine. But first we have to see if she may participate. Sure hope so. She loved doing the first round in school.

I finally was able to get my daughter an H1N1 influenza shot today.  They gave her their very last one. 

They had a little of the nasal spray vaccine last weekend, but that's only for people with no medical issues, and they were only giving it to toddlers.

I don't particularly care whether or not I get vaccinated, but I really don't want my daughter catching swine flu, given her health issues.

The nurse who gave the shot said that H1N1 influenza seems to be decreasing here now, but they have had hundreds of kids with it over the past couple of weeks.

Now, I'm not completely heartless. I feel bad that she feels crappy, and it does suck because the birthday girl is her best friend, but she must really feel like crap because when I told her we wouldn't be able to go to the party, she said okay. No tears.  :o

Seems that 95% of the flu cases here are swineflu. They are not testing all cases. No need to go to a GP. Just ride it out as a regular flu, but do call the GP for a visit the moment you think there may be complications.

She's still at home, coughing a lot, and her temperature a little high. But improving every day. She had all flu signs and exhaustion. And a 95% chance that it is Swineflu. I may call the GP this afternoon, phone consultancy on her coughing and temperature. But since she is getting more lively everyday, I think she is OK.

If you vaccinate enough people, then it will die out. Also it slows the rate of spread, particularly advantagious to those especially at risk - who are first in line for the jab, along with those who might be treating them.

You are right there. I was just the girl who got herself guilt-tripped from very young on. Personality? Calvinism? Example of parents, feeling overly responsible for all around them? Who knows. Not a bad thing to develop an allergy for that in the past years. And yes, it has been played on me a lot, and I did let that happen. Not any more though.

I finally was able to get my daughter an H1N1 influenza shot today.  They gave her their very last one. 

They had a little of the nasal spray vaccine last weekend, but that's only for people with no medical issues, and they were only giving it to toddlers.

I don't particularly care whether or not I get vaccinated, but I really don't want my daughter catching swine flu, given her health issues.

The nurse who gave the shot said that H1N1 influenza seems to be decreasing here now, but they have had hundreds of kids with it over the past couple of weeks.

It's increasing here. A million people have had their flu shots now but it seems to be a bit late to stop it now.
If you vaccinate enough people, then it will die out. Also it slows the rate of spread, particularly advantagious to those especially at risk - who are first in line for the jab, along with those who might be treating them.

Yes, of course it will die out. At this rate, up to a million people will have had it here before it has, though.

What is the vaccination schedule like for you guys? Here, you can only get it if you're high risk. The rest of the public isn't eligible yet.

My parents got the first shot last Saturday, next week they'll get the regular flu shot, and the week after that the second Swineflu jab. It's organised like a decent slaughter line there. People go in one side of the building, and on their way out get checked on glucose too.

All the people eligible for the regular flu-shot are eligible for this one. And kids till the age of five. That last has been decided yesterday.

My Mum had her vein mapping done at the hospital today. Her latest blood panel shows that her kidney function is up to 35%!!!!! *eek* That's bloody well good news. It means the body is repairing some of the damage on its own so they're not going to do anything right now, including the dialysis so that they can see how well she does on her own. They've got everything prepped so that should she take a turn in the other direction again, they can insert the two shunts and get the dialysis started. But for right now, she just keeps being monitored every 2 weeks and hopefully she either stays steady or increases her kidney function. Excellent news.  :thumbup:

Just in time. Or the refund of what I paid would have gone to him.

Work of his former support worker I'm pretty sure.

My ex also was still linked to my status. Weird.

1970, right? I'm old enough to remember the year but my parents weren't thrilled about the Stones, Creedence or most other bands then. My brother had a hell of a time explaining to my mum why he liked "Pendulum".

Attended an information evening about secondary school. Will have to pick one for my oldest soon. I was really impressed with what they had to offer. Also on how they can focus on individual children. Quite relieved after this evening.

Will go and get information on more schools. But this one has really impressed me.

two month fight is over now. that is really good.

now i have a full size keyboard and a nice sized screen for when i can't get out of bed or have to rest my back. that is really good.
it has a 500G hard drive. dunno what i'll do with that. maybe play with linux. that would be good.

i am still scared this is a dream and i will wake up with a dead computer and so forth. that's not good. that means i should shut up now.

Yeah I agree entirely. The way I approach sales is not to give a prospective customer something that they are likely to come back and complain about later because you KNOW that customer will say they spoke to you and you said....

I had a customer who wanted to leave his other service providers. The phone and internet package and ISP was much more expensive than what he had. Already $80/mth than what he was currently with. He wanted me to "make a deal" and reduce our costs. I examined everything. At one point he said "OK the phone broadband package is there some thing cheaper than the one you have proposed?" I said "Yeah there is. I could reduce your speed by 4 times and therefore save you $10/mth, but I think I would be doing you a disservice and won't suggest it as a solution unless you are really sure you want really bad speed".

He was surprised but said he appreciated the honesty. I discovered that his current ISP was giving him about 10 times the download limit to what he had been using and charging him a great price for the higher limit, but was a lot higher than the ISP we could provide to fit his download usage. I saved him on the entire package $30. I told him this was absolutely the best we could do for him. He thought for a bit and said, "Yeah fair enough. I appreciate your help. Let's do it"

I got his phone and broadband access, his ISP, and he bought over three mobiles to us. Big win and he came out of it really knowing what he was getting and what we could and could not do and as our calls are time recorded if he was the type of person to claim false or misleading advice, I am covered and so is the business. Was a sweet sale worth about $130 to me.

Title: Re: Post something good that happened today
Post by: Al Swearegen on December 12, 2009, 08:05:40 AM
Thanks.
It was really surprised with that one as he was going ahead knowing that we were still $50/mth in total worse off. Better than $80 more expensive but still. Thing was he hated the people he was with and was using the exercise to test me and see if he was comfortable with our service. The money was important but not the motivation. He did not want to go to another company who's service was worse.

I have been sidestepped into a role which is more outbound sales and customer retention. I honestly thought my sales and commissions would go down the gurgler. Not so. Second month there and my commissions look to eclipse the other role. :D

I brought my shoes to the shop to get them re-soled. And walked past an outlet store with shoes.
Walked in. Got myself two pairs of good and good-looking low booties, for the price of one.

I hate buying shoes. Really hate it.

This was nice. The woman there listened to what I needed, and found shoes that fitted me without a problem.

She also had gorgeous fuck me boots in my size, but they were beyond what I could pay.

Besides her finding me good and nice shoes, she also gave me an address of a bureau working with youngsters with a label. That was what she had recently put up the shop for, after retirement. To have it as a training place for kids with ADHD and Autism.  If my other plans of re-integrating in a decnt job won't work, I'm going to give them a call to see if I can be of service there.

Brought my other shoes to get them repaired. I think I won't need to buy winter shoes for three years. Absolutely delighted.  :laugh:

I strip them if it's too much to fix them or I don't have the parts, but they sell fairly well when I get the time to get them fixed up.  I'll line a bunch up on an area rug on the porch (try before you buy) during the spring sale, normally works out fairly well.  :laugh:

Yesterday I had a narrow escape from being knocked down by a suddenly turning crane. I thought I had made sure that I was seen by the guy standing next to it, giving directions. Apparently not.
Today I had a lucky fall with my bicycle. Could jump off in time. No injuries at all.

Oh technically that is the day before yesterday and yesterday, but doesn't register like that in my head, still awake.

Oh and got a Christmas gift of the cheese seller on the market. A triple grater. Needed a fine grater for my nutmeg, so it came in very handy indeed.

There used to be a sort of lolly called Mega-Warheads. They were as sour and hot as it gets. I had grape and lemon - there were two others iirc.

Ha, I was right! I just found a picture. They still exist.

Today, doing my rounds, I encountered a woman who handed me a box with Camembert, as a thank you for bringing the mail.
So cute. I was a bit at a loss on how to react. So grinned silly and thanked her.  ;D

And later tonight, I found an anonymous Christmas hamper on my doorstep. Filled with things not really needed, but nice to get. And a Christian poem on a red piece of paper.

Could be from a church, if so, than not from one who wants to gain souls by all means, since there was no sender on the card. Was nice, and happily received.

They didn't have fizzy stuff in the middle but they were disc shaped. The worst part was when you first put them in your mouth, hence why many people spat them out!

My neices (ages 6 & 3) were insanely excited to see me today and I played with them the entire time I was at my sister in laws house. I also took my newest little niecce (she's 5 months) from the ex as she was crying, and she instantly snuggled into me and gave me those slobbery baby kisses which crack me up. I'm so glad I had time with the girls. Will be spending tomorrow afternoon with them as well.

A few years back they invented "Evie" as their own holiday on the 23rd, so they opened presents from each other yesterday, then did the "Eve" with my Sis as a tradition my Mum started. In the morning is Santa and then they go to the in-laws for more. On the 26th I take them to my Dad's for even more presents. They are spoiled!

He gift-wrapped the huge box that contained our daughter's burgundy leather offfice chair and some of the other things we bought for her and I wrapped the rest after he brought them upstairs from their hiding place in the basement.

Yes, me too. She was pleasant enough during the past few days. Spending most time cuddled up under a blanket on the couch. But completely worn out in the evenings. Her temperature is dropping gradually, very slow. Tonight was the first night that she was up to her normal bedtime rituals. Including the relaxation exercises we do together. If she goes on like this, she'll be fit before the holidays are over. Hope she'll speed up the dropping of the temperature though. Will be nice to go somewhere with her during the holidays.

Mine has been as long as hip length before, but I kept it trimmed short enough so it wouldn't get sat on and I usually put it in a ponytail or fastened it up when I cleaned house or did something where it might get in the way.

Have tried that for a while, when he still lived here. Did take away lots of the mutual tensions. But also made that he stayed and stayed and stayed. (combined with other things, way too long a story)
Was great when that stopped.
And now I have a significant relationship. It may be long distance, but, it is very significant.
And even if I wasn't involved with someone. It is very important that I maintain a distance from my ex. For my own sake. I'd get suck in into all his depressions and problems. It's a huge no go area for me.

Got a referral for my youngest.
Oh, and while I was at the GP, asked him to have a look at my skin too. I can't be bothered to make an appointment for myself usually. But, since I was there now, without kids, and he was much faster with deciding on a referral than the time I had booked, I asked him to have a look. And he got me a long time prescription of an ointment. Skin should be a lot better somewhere between 4 weeks and 4 months from now.

I have rosacea too.  I used MetroLotion on my cheeks for a long time, but I never noticed it go away.  Maybe it kept it from getting redder, though.
Title: Re: Post something good that happened today
Post by: 'andersom' on February 05, 2010, 04:36:07 AM
Well, if it would come to just being a bit red, it's OK. I hope the infections will go. Now they are minor, like pimples, but a couple of weeks ago they were painful and purplish.
The doc did prescribe metronidazol. If it doesn't work, he'll probably try a tetracycline treatment for a couple of weeks to beat the infection. And then prescribe metronidazol as a maintanance thing.
Will see how it goes.
Title: Re: Post something good that happened today
Post by: Callaway on February 05, 2010, 04:45:49 AM
I've never had infections like you are describing, but I hope the metronidazole takes care of it.

I have taken tetracycline for acne before and it worked well for that so it should work for you if the metronidazole doesn't.

Called my recruitment agency. Spoke to them about worker's comp and what I would be hitting their insurers up for they said they would likely on th ebasis of the claim payout my immediate cost pre-emptively.  :2thumbsup:

OK put in context. We are talking about $400 Australian maybe a bit more that they will get back pretty smartly once claim through.

I (fortunately or unfortunately) am pretty quick at healing and do heal quick and have taken less time off than what most people take and even if I go Physio, which I dunno that I will bother, we are talking maybe $600 max, which again they get back on the claim.

Waitinglist for number two will be short, and she'll get the same team as my oldest had, very pleased with that.
Further, my ex has promised to commit himself to visiting his kids on Saturdays. So they will have something they can count on, in stead of wondering if and when he'll turn up.

There is hoping. They have waited in vain too.
They won't have to wait outside though.
He hasn't got a place for himself, apart from a very small bedroom. So, he'll be seeing them here. I have to work on Saturdays, so, will be extra good for them if he makes it every Saturday.
And I'll have my Sundays with them, without him maybe popping up unexpectedly. Will be able to plan more for those Sundays then, without sort of expecting him to turn up.

I can make it out of "ordinary" concentrated nitric through destillation with sulfuric acid. I lack some equipment, though, like a heating mantle and a fume hood.

I know.  One of the most difficult things I have ever done was handing my daughter over to the anaesthesiologist for her to have open heart surgery.

Title: Re: Post something good that happened today
Post by: Callaway on February 13, 2010, 11:40:16 AM
I think it's pretty similar to how you felt seeing your son lying there unconscious.  Any time a kid gets general anaesthesia, there's a chance they won't come out of it OK. 

What I was wondering while I was handing my daughter over for surgery was whether I would ever see her alive again or if this was goodbye.  I knew I couldn't upset her, so I had to stay very calm for her sake, no matter how I really felt inside.

My day was an exceptional one.

After weeks and weeks of just getting through the days with some positive glimpses now and then,
I just had a glorious day. Even just sleeping for only two and a half hours last night could not change that.
Nor could surprise visits.
All was just great.
And usually, I don't like birhtdays  :laugh:

This was just an exceptionally good day, and I love it.

Got the roms for Gold heart and Soul Silver. 2nd gen Pokemon like when I was a kid not this new pre-fab new pocket monsters that suck.
I wish they could do a red and blue remake. I will never ever forget bulbasaur, charmander and squirtle.
It's not the same anymore. Well their a big franchise and Nintendo is a huge corporation of course their gonna milk more pokemans as much as they can.

Still Chris-Chan ruined my child hood memories of Pokemon and sonic.

I woke up. I don't have cancer. I got to snuggle my little girl....albeit briefly.

Did you think you did have cancer?  ???

No....not at all. I meant I am lucky to be healthy for the most part, as we all are.

So, it was like....lucky to wake up, lucky to be alive, lucky for little things in life.

I try to be thankful of at least those things each day and my life is certainly not bad. That's all.

My replacement hard drive hasn't died.............. yet.
run chkdsk

It's 1TB, but this time I did a full format (took hours).

The first one just died, stop responding. It didn't die of bad sectors or die slowly. I'm just hoping it isn't a bad batch and the new one isn't going to die the same way.

I'm backing up what I have on it so far and I'm going to see how it goes for a while.

I have heard of that one too, and in fact my former landlady may have owned it, not sure now.

In the last year I lived in her house, she had: 7 cats, one huge dog, a rat, a mouse, and foster animals (a rabbit, a pigeon, and a coop full of doves, all belonging to a friend who was temporarily homeless). She had many foster pets over the years; some stayed for months until she could find suitable homes for them.  :)

I discovered a new flash composition that is surprisingly strong:

43% potassium perchlorate
21% barium nitrate
36% German Black aluminium

Despite beeing a weak oxidizer in theory the barium nitrate turned out to make this mix pretty powerful, more than the European #2 flash, that is 66% potassium perchlorate and 34% German Black aluminium.

It's probably due to the high density of the barium nitrate.

Oh it so has the eternal ink cartridge. I've used refills in that thing for many years now and the print head in it hasn't died yet. They are easy enough to resurrect with hot water to flush out any old dried ink.

So, how long do you soak the printer cartridge in hot water and is it just hot tap water you use or boiling hot water?

I used a baby wipe (the new kind) and soaked it in hot tap water and pressed the print head into that a number of times to warm it up a lot. After that I just ran the print head only part of the ink cartridge under the hot tap. Then I dried it. Print a few test pages to work the new ink back into it and you should be fine. If not, you haven't lost anything assuming the ink cartridge is already not working properly.

Something changed.

Feeling better than I have done all week. :thumbup:
And when I made tea this night, I did not have to heat the water three or four times. I didn't forget to make the tea, nor to poor myself a cup. I'm just brilliant this evening.  :hadron:

Brought our old printer back from the dead for the kids to use.

Now, that's the true Easter Spirit.  :thumbup:

The printer will be completely unusable in around 40 days but still promises eternal ink?

Oh it so has the eternal ink cartridge. I've used refills in that thing for many years now and the print head in it hasn't died yet. They are easy enough to resurrect with hot water to flush out any old dried ink.

So, how long do you soak the printer cartridge in hot water and is it just hot tap water you use or boiling hot water?

I am wondering if it would work for my used HP printer cartridges.

I used a baby wipe (the new kind) and soaked it in hot tap water and pressed the print head into that a number of times to warm it up a lot. After that I just ran the print head only part of the ink cartridge under the hot tap. Then I dried it. Print a few test pages to work the new ink back into it and you should be fine. If not, you haven't lost anything assuming the ink cartridge is already not working properly.

Thanks.  I did that and injected ink into my used HP cartridge and it works fine.

I trolled the crap out of some guy from the WP IRC channel. I had picked my target several hours before, and had him hook, line and sinker. I told him my correct age, but then capitalized on the ambiguity of my screen name by asserting myself as being female. It wasn't long before I got a private message.......

....before I edited the pastebin to remove the actual digits, there actually was a real phone number there, which my Stateside gf was begging to call. I have no idea if she did or not, but it would have been funny as fuck.

Congrats!  :plus:
TY. :D

Yay! Now you can set up a practice? 8)
Not quite- in about 1.75 more years, though, yes.  (The road to licensure is retardedly long considering how little money you make in the field, and consdiering the burnout rates in it.)

You're a headshrinker now?  :o

God no.  I realized the other day I feel about prescribers pretty much the same way the band geeks in high school feel about cheerleaders.  (And that's even aside from how much I hate the overmedication of america, particularly re: headmeds.)

We all have to behave now. :zoinks:
Please don't.  :P

Thought my phone stopped working while I was out today. Came home and plugged it in and it still works. That really scared me, it hasn't done that before - just switch off and not be able to be switched on again.

Hold down the left control key and move your mouse up or down, to increase or decrease the size of the words.  With my mouse it's the roller on the top that does it rather than the actual mouse, so experiment to see what work.  If you're left handed you're on you own with this hint.  It doesn't seem to work on some other programs, but it's worked every time I've tried it today on the internet.

Met with the mediator yesterday and got the final report of the parental agreement (aka Custody arrangements). The ex tried to pull some last minute bs and was promptly put in his place (the mediator told him he needs to remember that everything can't be what he wants, that my needs are just as valid and that I've been very patient and extremely accommodating and if he keeps this up I could just throw in the towel, say screw it and take him to court). Can I say how much I loved the mediator?  :2thumbsup:

So that's a huge thing I don't have to worry about anymore. Now it just has to be put into legal-eez and he can't change anything without the consent of the mediator and myself.

I feel empathy for you, CG.

I can not imagine where I would be in this situation. (probably in jail and everyone around me would hurt worse because of me.)

I am planting a tiny plant for you (I was planting trees and shrubs already, but my best female holly (the females are the fruit bearers), I am naming for your screenname and I plan to place a Celtic-style rune pattern around it in rock after I find the best place for it.), in hopes that it does well and outlives us all by a century.

I wish you courage.

Does this mean you won't look like that guy in Young Frankenstein?  Seriously, both DH and I have eye problems, his much worse than mine.  I've had 2 cataract surgeries with lens implants.  DH has had 2 cataract surgeries withlens implants and 2 cornea replacements.  I suspect that the time will come soon that if he needs another surgery, he will just say no.

Sounds like you have the same problems I do. I got told when I was younger, though, that nothing further could be done because there is too much scar tissue there. But now their surgery techniques are probably different. Maybe I will get it checked out when I am older. My eyes are gradually getting worse.

A good thing that happened today is that my mum rang and said she would pay my car registration for me. I have been saving up the money for it but if she wants to pay it I will let her. :) It will enable me to get some of my uni books early.

My problems have worsened during the last few years. The doc suggested that the scarring might be blocking the eye movement but he isn't sure yet. He said he wants to know for sure before he decides on what to do--he doesn't want to make things worse. I hope they can fix some of it, at least. Are you light sensitive due to your problems?

He also said that knowing what they do today, they would have been much more restrictive in operating on kids. I had my eyes operated three times before I was nine, and that's very unusual according to today's standards.

Yes I am very light sensitive. My eyes water a lot when I am outside in the sun.

I had six operations on my eyes, the last one was when I was five and I still remember it. They only made things worse, I think. I can't go cross-eyed on purpose, my left eye can barely move to the left and it is the "lazy" eye too. I have no depth perception and see double all the time. I could go on, heh. Optometrists usually dread the sight of me haha.

It doesn't bother me for the most part because my right eye (the one with the worst vision) just takes over. My left eye is really weak. I had exercises to do to strengthen it when I was a kid and I had eye patches as well (those drove me crazy) but nothing fixed it.

I had no idea it could get worse as I get older but it has and now I need strong prismatic lenses to try and correct things and even those aren't enough. I am actually curious now as to whether anything can be done about it. I will ask the optometrist about it next time I go, I think.

I had no idea it could get worse as I get older but it has and now I need strong prismatic lenses to try and correct things and even those aren't enough. I am actually curious now as to whether anything can be done about it. I will ask the optometrist about it next time I go, I think.

I hope they can help you.

I think the normal ageing of eyes, with increasing problems focussing when reading and such, causes more problems with the other stuff as well.

Found out my youngest will get the same teacher next year. This is very good news indeed.

And I got a call from someone from the new school the oldest will go to next year, to tell me (and her) on what was going to happen on the open evening we're having next week. Very thoughtful, good signs for the new year I think.

Met with the mediator yesterday and got the final report of the parental agreement (aka Custody arrangements). The ex tried to pull some last minute bs and was promptly put in his place (the mediator told him he needs to remember that everything can't be what he wants, that my needs are just as valid and that I've been very patient and extremely accommodating and if he keeps this up I could just throw in the towel, say screw it and take him to court). Can I say how much I loved the mediator?  :2thumbsup:

So that's a huge thing I don't have to worry about anymore. Now it just has to be put into legal-eez and he can't change anything without the consent of the mediator and myself.

So how will you two divide custody of your chidren?

Well, it's rather complicated. What I had suggested was straightforward. The ex wanted a 5 weekend rotation schedule which I eventually went along with since his original idea was to keep the kids apart except for 2 weekends a month "until mokeyboy proves that he can behave more appropriately"  ::)

So basically what happens is that he takes monkeygirl to school every day and I pick her up at the end of school. She then stays with me and monkeyboy until 6:30pm. Then the ex will take her to his house. This does make sense from the aspect of morning routines because monkeyboy is homeschooled and the ex has always been the one to take her to school.

Then over the course of 5 weekends, the kids each have one weekend alone with each parent (I have monkeygirl, he has monkey boy for a whole weekend and then we swap), they have 1 weekend together with me and 2 weekends together with Dad.

The reason why this isn't such a bad thing is because I have monkeygirl for most of her waking hours unless she's at school. So I'm still a big influence. My beef with the ex is that he doesn't spend quality time with the kids. He says that due to monkeyboys autism we (being the parents) should never have the kids 2:1 because he's too unpredictable and can't be handled. That is the biggest load of bullshit i've ever heard. From everything he said in mediation, he basically wants to take the autism out of him. he doesn't like being one on one with monkeyboy because he can't just do whatever the hell he wants. So every time monkeyboy and monkeygirl are with him, so are all of my inlaws.

So the time they're with me, which is a significant amount, they can just be brother and sister and our time is more relaxed. The ex takes them lots of great places, but he constantly has them running around everywhere and never just lets them be, yanno?

Although the upside is the my mother in law is pretty good with the kids, she gets Spencer and have her around means the chances of the ex doing more damage are definitely less. Monkeyboy has really let go of his Dad. he doesn't expect much from him and all he cares about is that he can live with me. He loves his Dad immensely but he doesn't trust him. That's a sad state of affairs.

I feel empathy for you, CG.

I can not imagine where I would be in this situation. (probably in jail and everyone around me would hurt worse because of me.)

I am planting a tiny plant for you (I was planting trees and shrubs already, but my best female holly (the females are the fruit bearers), I am naming for your screenname and I plan to place a Celtic-style rune pattern around it in rock after I find the best place for it.), in hopes that it does well and outlives us all by a century.

I wish you courage.

Thank you so much. That is incredibly sweet and it made me smile. It's a good thing I'm nowhere near it though. I have a tendency to kill plants just by being in the same vacinity. :laugh:

It is very sad, I know, but it is good that Monkeyboy deals with it this way. Doesn't change how sad it is.

Yes, holidays are fair. March Break is 2 weeks so we each get them for one week. Summer holidays, we each have them for 2 weeks together. Then the rest of the holiday one child is with me, the other with him Monday-Friday and on weekends they're always together. Then the following Monday we switch which child we have.  That way they can do their individual camps. I didn't want them apart that much, but I compromised because he didn't have them together at all if he got his way. The mediation was good in that it helped me have a voice, but it was horrific in that I got to hear what his intentions really were and I felt sick to my stomach.

All the major holidays we split. Birthdays we switch years on who is responsible for planning the parties.

I'm thankful though that when he does have monkeygirl, it's basically for her to sleep at his house or she's with my inlaws. My sister in law has 3 young daughters and monkeygirl is very close with her kids so it's good when she's there and she can just be a little girl. He doesn't nurture the brother/sister bond. In fact, I'd say he interferes to keep it distant and always blames monkeyboy for things. So it's up to me to keep the balance.

Took Destiny to the vet and he was very complimentary about how well I've been taking care of her. He didn't believe she's nearly 14 because she's so healthy. Her eyes, teeth, heart, fur, everything is perfect. The bump is purely cosmetic at this point. He said if it grows over the next month then bring her back in but he's not worried about it.

And I got to play with four 10 week old kittens, a German Shepherd named Garbo, a Golden Retriever named Mirage and two small toy sized breeds name Baby and Molly. Very good animal day. I feel much better.

Had a very effective meeting, teacher of my girl, coordinator of the new school, her and me. Just to check on things that may need attention.
The coordinator was creative in bringing up issues and solutions herself, and they were good suggestions.
It's looking good.

Also found a creative solution for too much hassle tomorrow at school for the 12 yo. And that will mean that in stead of getting a stressed out girl home, I'll get a relaxed and content girl home. Huge difference.

Indeed, and the step to secondary school is so huge.

I have no complaints on how primary school treated her. Over all, they have been very good. And they have taken her autism in account way before I had a clue on what the autistic spectrum was. They just prepared her for changes, because they saw the kid did a lot better if they did that.

Year 7 and 8 were tougher on her though, not because of school, but because kids in her class changing more and more into group creatures beginning puberty kids. And the not fitting in has never been as clear as the past two years.

Also found a creative solution for too much hassle tomorrow at school for the 12 yo. And that will mean that in stead of getting a stressed out girl home, I'll get a relaxed and content girl home. Huge difference.

That's really good. How much of a relief is it when someone actually listens and takes on board how to move forward with things.

Indeed, and the step to secondary school is so huge.

I have no complaints on how primary school treated her. Over all, they have been very good. And they have taken her autism in account way before I had a clue on what the autistic spectrum was. They just prepared her for changes, because they saw the kid did a lot better if they did that.

Year 7 and 8 were tougher on her though, not because of school, but because kids in her class changing more and more into group creatures beginning puberty kids. And the not fitting in has never been as clear as the past two years.

I hope things improve then. I remember having trouble understanding how that whole 'clique' thing worked. Didn't start to improve until I was around 14.

I was good at a couple of sports, which helped, speed skating and hockey.

Looking back...speed skating was the focused, escape stuff, hockey was running my ass off to bash the fuck out of a ball with a stick to get out frustration. Plus our school was very competitive regionally and state wide hockey wise....so the boys played the girls at lunchtime to increase the competitiveness of the girls team.

I should have been born a boy.

I am curious as to what the good news is.

This reminds me of what my uni has done regarding my guild fees. I haven't paid them since last year and now I owe them $150 (including for this semester). The horrible thing they have done though, is block my results from being seen by me until I have paid them. :( I can't afford it. Chances are I will start next semester not knowing the grades I got for this semester just gone.

This belonged in the quick bitch thread, oh well.
Title: Re: Post something good that happened today
Post by: Adam on June 22, 2010, 05:58:56 AM
wtf

they won'tlet you see your results till you've paid? That's fucked up. Here they say you can't graduate until you've brought back books from the library but they wouldn't withhold youur results from you.

Don't you get loans or anything? Here eveyone ends up in debt coz of tuition fees but you at least get to do it - you just have to pay back later

that's really messed up that they aren't telling you your grades :-\
Title: Re: Post something good that happened today
Post by: renaeden on June 22, 2010, 06:05:35 AM
The same happens if there are overdue books - don't get to see grades. Now that I am affected by it, it seems evil and mean, heh.

I don't pay for tuition due to HECS which is a government funding thing. When I get a job down the track I will pay for the tuition fees through tax (a lot of tax.

I get a scholarship payment once a semester as well and I think I will use that to pay my stupid guild fees.

Well, yeah. Exactly!

That's what fine audio components are all about, right?


The mods are not new. This rig is about two years old. I am mostly using this time (over the next few weeks)  to burn in my connections (you and I do not need to discuss electrolysis between freshly changed interconnects, I assume, As you probably already know, even two pieces of gold plating in contact will change characteristics rapidly, at first.) and allow for a bit of time for ME to get past any psycho-acoustic expectation. Newly added gear can often fool you, if you try to asses its effect too quickly. I am trying to reserve my most harsh judgment for a time when I am more familiar with this piece of gear.

So far, I am amazed and that is NOT what I want to feel. I want to begin to think that my system can hardly be any better. I do not want that feeling to approach me from a "proud Daddy syndrome"  or some kind of other pride in the "new-ish"  addition to the system.

I hope that makes sense.

Lots of sense. I've had equipment change their characteristics for long periods of time. I could have sworn that an old pair of B&W speakers were still changing after I'd had them for five years. And I got them from my brother. They always sounded nice but the low-to-mid range became softer, and even the 4kHz that I am usually very sensitive about was less whiney.

Interestingly I've found that modern cinema processors change a lot less--the latest almost nothing. I suspect it's because the signal paths are largely digital. The amps do change, though, and obviously the speakers.

I'd like to outlive my Gram. She's 93 and still kickin so I've got a long haul yet!

I had been given a task at work; find all sixty two of this particular laptop, thirty one of this other laptop, make a mountain of them, price them aggressively and get them the fuck out of here.  It was quite a tedious task, but I managed to find all of them, which is amazing, considering they have six or seven places for laptops in the store.

I got the stacks going, priced them four dollars above our cost, set all kinds of "necessary" accessories around them, including colorful signage about our "best in the business" financing offer, made fancy fucking, annoying Tag-on signs to put out, and moved out thirteen of one and six of the other, before I left for the day.

Hopefully, we can get rid of them all before we get their replacements.

I made a successful mountain.

It is junk. They are both Celeron processor models.

You would not want one.

Can you even believe that they were still putting Celeron processors in laptops, last winter?

My friend says he is going to buy me a game just so we can play it online lol.   Lucky me, getting a free game and all.   Probably going to be CoD:  World at War or Battlefield: Bad Company 2.   Dude really wants me to play World at War with him... I already have enough games as it is.

Sold through twelve more from the mountain of laptops!

I am starting to think that they will all be gone by the second week in July (as I had hoped), which is the expected arrival date for the upgrade replacements. The key to making money on these close out items is to also sell things like internet services, routers, additional monitors, cabling, external hard drives, etc.

Got up the nerve to mention to a woman at work that she is pretty. Monday I will ask her out (unless I revert to spazz chickenshit mode). She is 32 and is attracted to me for whatever reason so I hope I don't fuck it up. I have never dealt with an 18 year age gap before but it does not seem to phase her.

Please give us an update. Sometimes 'spazz chickenshit' mode is endearing to a woman (as long as it's not all the time!), so don't worry if it happens. Either way, I hope it goes well. x

I get to be Queen for a day, that is fill in as Foreman on Thursday since my boss is taking the day off. That, in and of itself, is not so special (although 12.5% extra for 11 hours equivalent straight time pay is good) but the reaction of my toolie is priceless. We have been working together for about 3 months and he has been carrying a radio, making a point of giving the Foreman the amount of conduit done etc everyday. So today when my Foreman mentioned being gone on Thursday I threw out "Fine, I'll take over" as a throw away comment and Andy said I got the job when he is gone. On the way out of the plant my toolie made it clear that he is being transferred off the crew and it became clear that not getting Queen for a day is the reason.  :lol: What was left unsaid but appears obvious to me is that he was actively lobbying for the job and does not like that I was able to get it with no real effort.  :hahaha: My toolie is smart and a hard worker but he is not as smart as he thinks he is.

I get to be Queen for a day, that is fill in as Foreman on Thursday since my boss is taking the day off. That, in and of itself, is not so special (although 12.5% extra for 11 hours equivalent straight time pay is good) but the reaction of my toolie is priceless.

My synth finally arrived. It's in surprisingly good shape but it's going to need a thorough cleanup inside. Two keys are almost dead and another two have problems with velocity, which was to be expected. The D-50 problems usually have something to do with the keybed and are usually fixable without too much trouble.

I get to be Queen for a day, that is fill in as Foreman on Thursday since my boss is taking the day off. That, in and of itself, is not so special (although 12.5% extra for 11 hours equivalent straight time pay is good) but the reaction of my toolie is priceless. We have been working together for about 3 months and he has been carrying a radio, making a point of giving the Foreman the amount of conduit done etc everyday. So today when my Foreman mentioned being gone on Thursday I threw out "Fine, I'll take over" as a throw away comment and Andy said I got the job when he is gone. On the way out of the plant my toolie made it clear that he is being transferred off the crew and it became clear that not getting Queen for a day is the reason.  :lol: What was left unsaid but appears obvious to me is that he was actively lobbying for the job and does not like that I was able to get it with no real effort.  :hahaha: My toolie is smart and a hard worker but he is not as smart as he thinks he is.

  :evillaugh: No, he apparently thought he had a friend with influence. What he did on Friday was interrupt me three times in front of the Foreman until I said something like "That is a product line? Do you get that? That is a beam, do you understand that?", at which point he asked for another toolie because he didn't like me getting mad. I fired back that if I didn't have an asshole interrupting me 3 successive times I wouldn't have gotten pissed and then I explained something about the job as if I was talking to a third grader. We got put with different toolies and he is still wearing the radio and humping the Foreman's leg.

No, I think it is autism related.

I started disliking water when I had a huge breakdown at the job I had then.
At work I had lived on raisin buns and water. 2 litre a day I guess. And when I broke down, I did not drink any water any more. And I could not stand eating raisin buns either. I had connected the horrible job to what I ate and drank. Took me 4 years to undo that. At least for the water.

Inbound callcentre, and the worst in the wide environment. Was hard for them to get employees.
Companies that do that to their employees should be put out of business.

Yes, they should. But, their employees are paid minimum wages, temp workers, not likely to be a member of a union, because of the costs. And they will not revolt against management, because they need the job.
The less a person gets paid, the more the boss will be bullying his personnel I think.

I actually went to see Toy Story 3 and as far as I know, it was a good movie to watch indeed.
I went with my brother and my sister and their friends, so I guess it was pretty ok, although we only ended reaching the house by 11 at night.

That's a problem with littles.  When you want them to be awake they're sleepy and when you want them to sleep they're wide awake.  I remember keeping DD up for 24 hours at about 18 months for a medical test.  Talk about an exercise in patience.

Well today's lunch was Monte Cristo sandwiches with potato pancakes, and strawberry oat bars for dessert...dinner was spinach-and-bacon quiche with home fries,
plus alternate choices of chicken, haddock, pasta and a baked sweet potato. Dessert was coffee ice cream. It isn't five-star or anything, but it's pretty good.  :viking:

I won a division 7 in Oz Lotto, whoray!

What does that mean? Will it be a lot of money?  :orly:

It's the smallest prize you can get. I got 3 numbers + 1 supplementary number = $13.30 in winnings (almost enough for next week's ticket :laugh:)
They draw 7 numbers and 2 supps. Of course, I needed to get all 7 numbers for the jackpot, which was $20 million.

Congratulations on your $13.30, that is more than the 6 of us at my day job have made yet in our lottery pool!
We really want that big jackpot! Good luck to you next time.  :)

Google can help find cheaper trips. Traveling with only one company can make it a lot cheaper too. I think you should be able to do it under 200 pounds, maybe even just a bit more than a hundred.

I think we can get cheaper but that would mean staying really late, and I don't wanna be away too long coz of my ocd - I'll need the toilet eventually (tmi?  :laugh: )I'm just gonna leavew it up to my mum to decide. I'll give my uncle petrol money obviously if he does take us, but I kinda like trains. No stress on the train as well. Is it just me or are car journeys stressful? Maybe it's just  in england  :P

I've never seen weirder train fares than British train fares. Sometimes it was cheaper to travel with a family than for one person alone. Nice trains though, for as far as I have seen them.

Travelling by coach an option, if your uncle can't do the driving?

Post by: Adam on August 06, 2010, 08:01:48 AM
I'm not sure. I'm only going down there for a few hours, then coming back. When I go in properly it won't matter what time I go down or back coz I'll be in there for a few days anyway so have to use the hospital toilets. But with me just going down for a few hours I'm gonna be waiting  to go to the toilet till I come back. I will manage it easily but don't wanna be there too long incase I did start needing the toilet. If we go by car then as soon as I'm finished at the hospital we can go straight back. Wth public transport you obviously gotta wait. Plus we'd have to get a taxi from the station to the hospital as well, coz it's not right in the middle of London I think. All very confusing, which is why I'm leaving it to my mum to sort out  :laugh:

I like trains tho.  But if we go in the car then we go in the car. least it will be cheaper

The man we had to meet this morning was a sensible man.

And, we watched some art too, on our way out. Some Cobra stuff, and things made at a secondary school in the town we were. Matched well together.

Pity they had hidden the exhibition. We waited for over half an hour in the waiting-hall, and I told my daughter that usually they have art exhibitions in the council hall. Well, they still had, but hidden in a side wing, without any reference to it at all.

My daughter turned 3 today.
Congrats, it seems like just weeks ago that you announced her birth. They grow so fast.  :zoinks:

Yes, we are on metric time down here.

Sounds like the advanced aging process of children in soap opera's  :laugh:

By Christmas next year, she will be in high school!

Back in the early 1960's my husband went to IBM computer school.  They would run programs by physically changing programmed computer boards into and out of the computer.  Or if they needed a new program they would physically put wires into the holes in boards to make the program.  They only used Machine language.  Things are definitely faster and better now.

My nephew (22 years old) in Utah had surgery and it went well. He had to have his left testicle removed because of cancer. I just talked to my sister and I could hear in her voice that she had been crying. This is a bad time for my nephew but it is better than dead. With his remaining nut his hormone level can stay in balance and he may still be able to have kids after the upcoming chemo/radiation.

I think Lance Armstrong had some sperm saved before his chemo just in case and he and his wife used it for in vitro fertilization to have their three children.  Then he later conceived a fourth child with his girlfriend the old-fashioned way after his divorce, but I think it was considered a miracle for him to do that.  Your nephew might want to think about saving some sperm for the future, too, just in case.

Getting a real fresh air I suppose, I haven't felt too good for the last couple of days (real life issue). I guess I'm fresh again I suppose?

Found a stream hidden in the deep woods. It will only be there for a day or so, since only the strong rains last night allowed me to see it.



Everything around me is wet or nearly wet or somewhat wetlike, or at the very least, moist. Actually, I am diminishing my concern. Almost everything I have the ability to perceive is wetlike.


My concern, earlier in the day was that I would slip from being so damn old and so damn feeble these days and I would break something I need to use to traverse the deep woods.

My simple party would be over.  So far, so good.

Finished writing a script that I spent the whole morning trying to debug.

What insecticide do you use?

Some noname brand from a Redmond-based company better known for its virus environments.

Actually the good thing started on Friday.  My sister came in for her high school reunion.  She will be going back Sunday afternoon, but it is a very nice and pleasant time, although tiring.

She came home overwhelmed and tired, but did really well. She did need complete withdrawal for a while though.

Her mentor called in the evening to check up on how she had been doing.
He told me she had amazed him by how she had had no problems getting in front of the new class doing something.

The way this new school is supportive is surprising me in a good way.

Not to me, but it made me smile.

LA MARQUE — A 56-year-old woman fended off an armed attacker in a Walmart parking lot in La Marque, pulled a pistol and put at least one hole in the assailant's fleeing vehicle, La Marque police said today.

The woman, whom police declined to name, struggled with a man trying to take her car shortly after 3 p.m. Wednesday, Detective Danielle Herman said in a written statement.

The woman, a concealed handgun permit holder, managed to grab a pistol from the car console and pointed it at the man, who fled to a silver or gray SUV driven by an accomplice, Herman said.

The woman fired several shots at the SUV as it sped away, at least one bullet striking the rear of the vehicle, she said.

Herman said the attacker was armed with a pistol.

I had begun to think that she was coming along and getting over some of the pain from her loss (I believe she was netfriends with one of the girls who killed herself, as was Soph - Soph has done well for herself, I think.) and showing signs of "looking up" again.

I was saddened to discover her gone.

I got a bit sick. I know that doesn't sound like a good thing, but I was due to go shopping in Belfast with my friend and I really couldn't be bothered. It's cold and pissing with rain today. I managed to avoid going with her and she dragged my cousin along instead, so I've got a relaxing day in the house playing with the computer while they go into every shop in town looking for a stupid pair of shoes that she doesn't even need anyway. I don't really like shopping anyway, but I couldn't bear the thought of doing it in this weather.

22 out of 150 or so people at work got laid off today and I wasn't one of them. Unfortunately the 6 10s schedule is gone now, replaced by a 5 10s schedule. My Foreman was bumped back to the tools today and working on a wire pulling crew as of Monday and I don't know where I am working or who for on Monday morning. I can handle a layoff now but I want a lay off in mid to late October so I can hit financial goals.

True on both counts. Part of their operations theory is that those left after a layoff tend to walk on eggshells.

And right before the lay-off all try at their hardest, in the hope not to be layed off too. Hated atmospheres like that.

Companies can overplay their hands though.

Where I work, no one seems to care anymore.

I may have to re-think whether it is good or not, but I have been researching into a way to help the starving deer. There is a hunter's meeting at a church, tonight that I plan to attend.  I do not know if I can present a motion, but I know a couple of people who attend regularly and maybe they can do so.


I want to see that we are prepared to feed these deer who are diving into out trash bins overnight. Adult deer would not be in our alleyways if they were not starving. It is upon us to help them, if they are to have any help.  I damn near ran straight into a huge deer as I was riding my bicycle early this morning.  This is NOT right!!



Maybe I also need something to distract me from flapping my hands as this week end approaches.  I am ready for this week end, though - I have wanted this for many years. I am ready to meet him and begin.

What are you saying?

Exactly?


None of that made any sense. What exactly are you saying?

Are you trying to be a cunt or are you making fun of cunts.


The ones I know who hunt responsibly are more truly Christian (I do not mean that they are church goers, but that they are more closely involved in the community, take others (including animals) before themselves and  do their level best to follow the Golden Rule) in their daily lives than most idiots who do not provide for themselves.

Are you trying to say that I am wrong in seeking help from the source and in finding those who are doing their best to provide for these animals is somehow a sin?

I do not get you sometimes.

My little girl read me and her sister a story, before going to sleep.

Oh, and noticing that she needed something to practice logical thinking on, I introduced her to the logic of the Rubik's cube today. Not learning her tricks, but wanting her to find the logic behind the moves to make. She did the first simple assignments well, and loved it.

My oldest watched in mild abhorrence.  :laugh:
Is she old enough to appreciate Avagadro's number yet?

No, she's 9. And has no real idea of chemistry yet.

The mystery and beauty of Pie will come first I think.

but it's good in some ways as shes started coming downstairs and going in the garden again. her and Lily get on better now

so yeah she seems fine, just different. Which is ok as long as she's happy and not in any pain.

the only annoying thing is that she keeps sleeping on my pillow, even when my head is on it  :laugh:

I saw three foxes last night while walking my dog.  One of them was a particularly curious and brave one that I see quite regularly, and we often stop and watch each other for a while when we meet.  It'll come within a few metres of us and sit or lie down, and I'm teaching Waggy to reciprocate, and not to lunge after it and try to tear it to pieces.

My friend's son was bitten in his yard by a fox that attacked him in the daytime. He shot it in self-defense
and got a series of rabies shots. As expected, upon necropsy the fox did indeed turn out to have been rabid.  :zombiefuck:

When my sister was about 7 she was bitten by a neighbor's dog that she was playing with.  The neighbors had the dog put to sleep that afternoon.  For whatever reason the dog was not tested for rabies before it was put down.  So my sister had to have the rabies shots in her stomach.  After about 4 or 5 of them she developed an allergic reaction and my parents had to make the decision of whether to continue with the shots.  They probably figured that a neighborhood dog kept behind a fence had a small chance of having rabies, so they stopped the injections.  Thankfully they made the right decision.

I'm glad that turned out OK! My friend's son said the rabies shots were not that bad. I believe they were given in his arm.  :chin:

What happened to her?

My mum's cat had a health scare - Mum found him (his name is Dennis, I know, strange name for a cat) out on the front path laying flat and yowling. Then it was like he tried to get up but was all wobbly and all over the place. Mum rang me while I was at uni to come home so I could rush him to the vets. When we got the cat to the vets he seemed ok. They said he might have been stung by a bee or something and they kept him there for a few hours.

He has been fine since but he didn't ask to be let out the front this morning, he has just been sleeping on the bed. It is a mystery, I wonder what happened to him. Mum was crying after we got the cat home from the vets, out of relief I think.

Her town is relatively small but her county has almost a million people in it.

Real life, not Queen Vic:

Close.  I live in a suburb of a city of about 500,000 - 600,000 people.  There are about that many in the suburb.  My voting precinct has 1,200 registered voters in it.  I'm a poll commissioner who helps run the voting.

There's a sign on a neighborhood street that says "Autistic Person."  Met the mother of the autistic son in the neighborhood.   Been wondering who it was for a while.
Met the daughter-in-law of one of the TV weathermen.
Met the daughter-in-law of Paul Brinegar (Wishbone on the old TV Series Rawhide)
Met someone who taught a woman who has the unusual first name of Shithead, pronounced Shuh-theed.  People don't believe me when I say that someone's first name is spelled that way and pronounced the other way.

I got to actually do math today at work as I am determining the probability of an explosion occurring during the launch of a decoy used to distract the seekers of incoming anti-ship missiles. These particular decoys have exploded twice on launch recently and may have solid propellant in the rocket motor that is degrading, or some other component like the igniter, due to their age.

I got a nap in during the afternoon, after getting my garage set up for sawing and gluing again.

I have been trying to work out on my punching bag for a couple of weeks. Unfortunately, I am in terrible shape after laying off for too long and, yesterday, I pulled a hamstring muscle kicking over my head.

A bit of rest was great.

This is the sixth order polynomial that fits the data, where x is the number of launches and y is the number of failures, in this case explosions in the launch tube:

y = 2E-23x6 - 7E-19x5 + 9E-15x4 - 5E-11x3 + 1E-07x2 - 0.0001x

For the 2nd day in a row we got to our headache shack and found a mouse in a 10 gallon white bucket that we use for trash. It was frantically trying to jump out. A couple of our crew members seem to be afraid of mice.  :laugh: Because it wasn't in any of our homes we let it go again. It was funny watching construction workers being afraid of a little mouse.  :hahaha:

I think it's going to be all right. I still think it's a fabulous car, I simply don't want to spend more time waiting for the shop to fix it. They understood and offered a replacement but wanted me to make sure by properly testing the vehicle first. Hence yesterday's trip.

I and the Princess Royal have no problem at all in standing in front of people and speaking.  I once spoke to over 200 people in a meeting.  Prince Albert, on the other hand, prefers a more intimate speaking circle, 4 or 5 gathered around, exchanging ideas over coffee in the morning at McDonalds.
Did you say your daughter is LF Autie?

She had a stroke before she was born.  She has epilepsy and pseudo seizures (her latest diagnosis, hot off the presses last week), mild/moderate mental retardation (9 - 10 y/o level), mild/moderate cerebral palsy, ADHD - Inattentive and High Functioning Autism. 
Wow, that's a rough hand to start out with. When my niece was going through several strokes and attendant heart problems last Jan/Feb I was trying not to cry my fucking eyes out.

Even if I hadn't believed in G_d, driving 70 miles on an Interstate commuting to work, crying my eyes out and never crashing would have made a believer of me.

We just came back from the district cheerleading Spirit Bowl. 

The handicapped cheerleaders (the Princess Royal is a member) received a standing ovation from the crowd and the judges.  It's all friendly and everyone gets a medal. 

This is the first year they've had a team for the handicapped and it's only for 18 and over.  They weren't that good, but they felt awesome participating.

We have a neighbor who sometimes throws things away that are better than what we have.  I rescued some pots and pans in about 2001 or 2002.  They're starting to lose their non-stick surface (see my first sentence about the quality of her stuff.)  I went out and bought new pots and pans today. 

And the Princess Royal found The Apprentic, Cirque du Freak, on sale and she bought it for my Christmas present.

I bought the 3 show set of the Masterpiece Mystery Sherlock Holmes because it seems really good.

Is she giving you exercises to relax too?

My PT prescribed me magnesium supplements after a while, to make it possible for the muscles to relax, and for her to get through more easy. It did make a difference.

My Dad had it prescribed 15 years before that, by a GP.

On tuesdays I take the bus to class. I was this cute chick there who I had seen before, we started chatting and it turned out that we knew a lot of people in common. She's a biology major and I knew her favorite biology teachers from my field trips. I ended up getting her phone #  :eyebrows: :woohoo:

She's a 5'6", 110 ish lbs, blue eyed, strawberry blonde with b-cups. :drool: oh, she's in her late 20's so hopefully she doesn't think I'm too old.  :eyebrows:

What is the new Jag's name?  :laugh:

Not sure it's got one.  :dunno:

Try calling some name you like, and see which one it answers to!   :thumbup:

Benedict Cumberbatch with Martin Freeman.  It's the BBC production that's gotten raves.

From my main job. The meeting is in 45 minutes, and the owner has been in good spirits, so I think
it will just be a discussion of general/miscellaneous concerns.  :thumbup:

Meeting got done early and I was able to pick the dead trees from the support contractor that have the presentation printed on them for tomorrow's formal safety review. Good because i am done early and can get home to see my kids and relax and prepare for briefing tomorrow. Not as good is the waste of paper because the Safety Review Board 'requires' a certain number hard copies, which is wasteful environmentally and economically.

She shouldn't hate you. A meal is a good idea.

I've been invited to my uni friend's 40th birthday celebration, she even came to my house to give me the invitation so I said I would go. Thing is, there is going to be around 50 people there and I won't know anyone except for my friend. I don't know what I am going to do there. My friend doesn't really know I have problems with anxiety sometimes.

On the day, a few hours before the party is about to start message her saying you can't come due to a bad stomach ache; say you can't stop throwing up and you terribly wish you can go but just feel too ill.  It always works for me :P

I actually feel sick thinking about it so it won't be far off. I have thrown up from anxiety before. But I am going to go (unless I am really throwing up) because I can't keep avoiding stuff I don't want to do. Since I have been going to uni I have been getting better at not avoiding things.

Bartering is wonderful, as long as both parties have desirable things to offer!  :thumbup:

It wasn't bartering.  It was more like, "Can you take this off my hands?"  We do this a bit since it's only her and her daughter here and we're 3 in my family.  Sometimes I'll send over leftovers (I know, I know).

It's my daughter's birthday today. :)

I royally proclaim that she should have everything she wishes today (within reason of course).  Is it a good coincidence that she's skating competitively today? 

It was a coincidence but it also didn't happen. He throat was sore so she decided not to compete.

She is better today. I have a feeling that she just didn't want to compete on her birthday. I don't mind either way.

Yeah, they should be allowed to decide for themselves. Of course, sometimes you have to encourage them, considering that the required gear will often cost a ton of money and they shouldn't give up too easily, but there's no point in forcing them to do something they don't want to do.

I picked up tickets I won for the Mannheim Steamroller concert and the 25th anniversary CD.  Fairly pricy tickets (between $75 and $100) from what I can see on the ticket/seating chart.  Just a guess since they were given to the tv station and no price is printed on them.

It's going to be a concert the Princess Royal and I will enjoy.

No, it's Wednesday night.  Also the Princess Royal has an ear infection that we caught early enough so that it should only be a minor annoyance.  And the antiobiotic drops were free under her prescription plan.

Well, a lot of good happened today, most of all, I am replacing my aging Yamaha floor shaker audio receiver with this:


 Denon 4310  (http://usa.denon.com/US/Product/Pages/Product-Detail.aspx?Catid=f234eea1-3300-4537-8f59-f6cd2f3441d6&SubId=0&ProductId=3578bd2c-3865-4cf6-8203-4988ca9045dd)


(http://usa.denon.com/Assets/images/Products/AVR-4310CI/L_AVR-4310CI_with_remote_D.png)


(gear heads, check out the "Technology"  link on that site - this thing Roxxors!!)

Our company has already removed them from our website, so this is the first I found (Amazon  OK, scratch that. I am using the Denon home site for the pic and the description). The new 4311, which replaced the one I bought today, has 3D capabilities (which I do not care about) and dual sub outs (which my massive, bi-amped six X fifteen sub audible system does not care about).

Mine is 7.1, plenty of watts to shake the floor and since it is about two years old, I got one brand new in the box for two hundred dollars (read that again!! I paid one tenth the "retail" price for an amazing receiver), because the company has sat on too many of them for too long - 3D has made many of these items VERY obsolete. 


The price popped up via internal email and I just decided it was time to jump.

Bought my little sister her fiirst flat. I've always liked her, but since I've moved away I've hardly seen her because she stayed with our parents, and to see her would have meant having to see them. Now I've got somewhere to stay anytime I go back home.
I'm planning to go over and visit her in it soon. I can't wait :)

Very likely will have Saturday December 11 a day off.

I am so pleased. After that, they will not give days off, only let us work extra, because of the Xmas mail, and annual mailings and such. But, December 11 is probably MINE!!!

(They had to make up with me for fucking up on a day off two weeks ago, so, they can hardly refuse me getting that day.  :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:)

I iz a happy bunny about that.



And my meeting this morning was good too.

I hope another chunk of agitation and restlessness will go, now this bit is over.

This happened yesterday, but it made my day, so here it is:

I was very tired and would have overslept to the point of being late to work,
but one of my downstairs neighbors left the building around 7 a.m. with loud slamming of doors,
which woke me from my deep slumber just in time to get ready for work!   :2thumbsup:

No, but 4 years part time is, and I can do it via distance education.

I think it might be too late to apply though (to start next year). Something to start in 2012 perhaps :viking:

My daughter "passed" the Social Health Program For Females at school.

Yes, this is the school sponsored program that "explains all about the nature of reproduction" between humans and warns budding young females of their impending social trials, most specifically, whether or not they should choose pads or tampons, etc...

She had a lot of questions - not ones that she did not know the answers to, but many questions that we had covered with her that she wanted to MAKE SURE that every one else knew the answers to, as well.

:hide:

Yeah, from the email I got from her teacher today, my darling daughter disrupted the "presentation" on many occasions to point out circumstances that the program was neglecting to "present" as part of this school sponsored program.

Uhm, we have given her our best, but we did not expect that she would herald this knowledge to the entire school. (Part of the reasoning behind my nine year old daughter having such an extensive education in this area, already, stems from the fact that my wife began to menstruate before she had had such an education. My wife's dear Mum did not think that she was old enough for this conversation yet, when my wife first came home from third grade with bloody pants. We wanted to avoid this scenario, but never knew that our darling daughter would become the "bloody" guru of feminine concerns at nine years of age, FFS! )


Anyway, another life trail upon the scoreboard for us.

I think it was a very good thing to explain all about her changing body to your daughter before the changes actually happened as opposed to after.

If she wants to educate her female classmates, I don't think that really is a bad thing, especially compared to her not knowing the real facts until the school "presentation" taught her.  It's not like she is telling them before they really need to know and it's not like she telling them that Santa Claus isn't real (which is what I did when I was a kid).

I wanted my daughter to feel like she could always ask me anything she needed to know, so she asked me in Home Depot in her best outdoor voice, "Where do the sperms come from in the first place and how exactly do the sperms get to the egg?"  It was a bit embarrassing, but the way I look at it, better she ask questions in less than optimal circumstances than feel like she can't ask.

I met my niece, or something like my niece. She's probably something like my 3rd or 4th cousin. I can't be bothered working out what her actual relationship with me is.

Anyway, she's 12 and me and my friend are bringing her Christmas shopping on Monday. We'll bring her to Belfast, and I'm kinda looking forward to it. I need to get some Christmas shopping of my own, and I've missed having the chance to babysit since I moved here. She seems nice. It's always nice to find relations who I get on with.

For some reason I'm a lot better with kids than I am with adults. I think it's because I'm very immature myself. I'm good at playing, and amusing them I just can't do discipline, or saying no to them :laugh:

When I was a kid I was better at talking to older kids or adults. Kids my own age were hard to relate to or be serious with. I sort of wish I had younger siblings so then I would know how to cope with younger people.

I wonder if you will buy your cousin/niece something if she asks as you have difficulty saying no. ;)

I was really good at speaking to adults as well when I was a kid. It was because they would ask the questions and lead the conversation, and I would answer them. I was, and still am extremely polite. It lead to them thinking I was a far nicer kid than I really was, and they put unfair expectations on me. I was just as naughty, if not more so than most other kids, and when the adults realized this they thought I was putting on an act, and pretending to be nice.

My niece is 12 so I'm hoping she's past the stage of asking me to buy her stuff. I will buy her a meal, and let her choose where to go, although being 12 years old she'll probably choose McDonalds :laugh:
I'll have a couple of friends with me, so they should be able to say no to her if she gets out of control, but she seems like a sweet kid so I'm hoping she won't be a problem.

It was on O2 sensor that kicked the Check Engine light into life.  No reason was found for the oil leak.  They put some dye in the oil.  I'm to drive it and bring it back in a month for a regular oil change (or sooner if I notice a problem) and they'll use a black light to see what they can see.  Needless to say I'm driving quite cock-eyed, one eye on the road and one eye on the instrument panel looking for an oil light to go on.  Diagnostics and repairs were about $330.

If your oil light goes on, the engine is on the verge of self-destruction and should be shut off instantly.

Just make sure when they fix the oil leak, that they use O2 sensor safe silicone sealant.

Do you want to hear my blown seal joke??

An eskimo brings his snowmobile into the shop and it's leaking oil. The mechanic looks at it and says "it looks like you blew a seal". The eskimo says "no, that's just frost on my mustache". :oneliner:

The bank will ask you about how much is in the loose change.  Then they will deposit that amount into your checking/savings account.  After they close out for the day and verify the amount they will send you a debit or credit advice for the difference between your estimate and the actual count.  If you want to walk away with quarters in hand you'll have to withdraw it from your account that day.

Last time I handed in money in change at a bank, I was a kid. The money counting machine fascinated me. within a minute, they would have the exact amount of what was in the piggy bank, and it looked great to see the coins go through the sorting machine. It was within sight of kids handing in their piggy banks.

Strange that now you would have to wait for the end of the day to know.

My bank has a coin sorting machine which will sort and count the change for you and it even separates out Canadian change from the rest so the bank tellers can give it back to you.  There is no charge for this service, but the Coinstars take part of your money for the service to sort and count your change in this way.

I took both kids out for Christmas shopping for their mom.

They both went "as far as they could have,"  so to speak - all the people and activity, etc.

Right now, they are both crashed out in front of the television, bellies full, "Golden Compass" blasting at high volume.

Overall, it was a good trip.

Update

I was curious on how much it cost Warner Brothers to ship this thing overnight.  I paid $33.20 for the wand and it cost WB about $51 to ship it Overnight Air Delivery via UPS according to the calculation on the UPS site.

Alas, they are micro-spikes, so the extreme hurt would not be much more than skin-deep. Kicking them in such a way that they would fall down might add some extra damage though. It's all about tactics.  >:D

with the heat turned down. If all else fails, I'll shower, but I'm not flying to Flagstaff to do it!  :laugh:

Yeah, that's why I've never gotten a humidifier. With any luck, just lowering the heat will help.  :thumbup:

You could get yourself a hygrometer, and if it gets too dry in your house, you will be safe to humidify the room. When it freezes outside, chance of getting your house so moist that it will get moldy are really slim. And just a bit of added water in the air may not only be helpful for your nose, but can be good for your house too. You should be able to get a hygrometer for a decent price. Online I have seen them range from $4 to $189 after a quick look. Most were between $10 and $20.

May be very appealing for a health geek. You could make graphics and charts about moisture and nosebleeds.  :nerd!:

Black cat found his own way home today  :2thumbsup:

The time before, I had to find him, and lure him away from the problem he had gotten himself into. Frozen with fear, because of another cat. Time before that, he didn't get further than 10 metres from the house.

He's an Alpha male in the night, and completely the opposite during the day. Won't let him out at night yet though.

I think it is best if cats are kept in at night because they tend to get into fights otherwise. That means more vet bills because of their injuries. Let out during the day is fine but not at night. Just my opinion though.

I do agree with you, but seeing the behaviour of my black cat, I think he will hide himself on summer-evenings, and will have a ball at night.
He meows and scratches doors in the night, during the day he doesn't seem to care about going out.
If he doesn't turn up, when it gets dark, there is no way I will find him, he is a master in hiding, and his black colour is helping him with that too.

For now, he only goes on short trips in the morning.

Don't know. Will have a look there next week. Seems they have employed more people on the spectrum. And they seem to be easy in negotiating about hours, and are not in to too much social fussing. If the fumes, or the noise, or the light get to me, I can discuss that with my job-coach, and we'll think about it. It's not a job interview yet, but, it could lead to one.

It's great so far. Reading a Kindle book is not like reading a computer screen, it's like paper and ink. The quality is amazing. I had to buy  something for it right away so I spent $5 on a Sherlock Holmes collection. All 9 books, which I already have on paper, of course, but the idea of having them all searchable and accessible on the Kindle was irresistible. The whole thing downloaded in a minute or so,

Yesterday: One of my students came back to music lessons after the Christmas break, and while I was speaking with his mother, he walked into the lesson room and started playing his recorder. His mother's comment: "Do you think he wanted to come back to music?"
Made even better by the fact that he's autistic and I know he has trouble transitioning back into things after a long break, so coming back enthusiastically after 4 weeks means he really enjoys the lessons.

You must give really good lessons. :)

Something good was my parents coming home from their holiday. They went on a cruise to Vanuatu. They experienced cyclones and an earthquake. My mum also got heat stroke on one of the days. I don't think they will go on a cruise again. They got me a t-shirt and a small bag with cats on it. :)

I am relieved that I don't have to look after the house now. I didn't break anything and nothing went wrong.

That is what all good teachers should be like. I always liked the music teachers at school.

My mother phoned me about one half hour ago. Friday she had called and told me that a blockage had been found in my dad's heart and that he was going in today @ the VA Hospital in Reno for more in depth tests and a decision on stints or open heart surgery. If open heart surgery had been needed they were going to fly him to UCSF Medical Center in SF or Stanford in Palo Alto. As it turns out the initial tests were wrong and he has no blockage.  :thumbup: When my dad does die I will get back a nice Maori carved nephrite jade neck amulet, a Sig 239 and a derringer that I gave him. But I am in no hurry to get those items back.

One of her friends parents were throwing out an old suite. Another friend took it into college and re-uppholstered it.It looks great. They repainted the whole flat, and put down off-cuts of carpet. The only thing I need to do for her is get her a new kitchen.

Eris is referring to a BDSM practice. If I recall correctly, CBT stands for "cock and ball torture".

I am under the impression that you, Odeon, are referring to cognitive behavior therapy.

My mother phoned me about one half hour ago. Friday she had called and told me that a blockage had been found in my dad's heart and that he was going in today @ the VA Hospital in Reno for more in depth tests and a decision on stints or open heart surgery. If open heart surgery had been needed they were going to fly him to UCSF Medical Center in SF or Stanford in Palo Alto. As it turns out the initial tests were wrong and he has no blockage.  :thumbup: When my dad does die I will get back a nice Maori carved nephrite jade neck amulet, a Sig 239 and a derringer that I gave him. But I am in no hurry to get those items back.

I'm glad that he's OK.

I think you are right. I have trouble really crying in the sense of sobbing forcefully,  it's been years since I've done that.
Whatever made you cry like that, I hope you can resolve it, and I'm glad you feel better.   :)

I liked it very much also. It's the first time I've seen them after years of being a fan. Some of the visuals were....interesting (like the weird groupie thing during "Right In Two", or the human centipede during "Lateralus"), but that's Tool for ya :laugh:

Do not discount the fact that SOME typos fucking hurt a certain few of us who try for an eternity (well, OK, a few milliseconds of torture) to make any kind of sense of what typing was attempted.


Take into account the visual and perceptual problems of those who are hyperlexic before you dis' people outright. Not everyone can ignore text based imagery.


You OCD'ers  have a chance to imagine these things within your own horrors.

Presentation went well! I was brilliant throughout, fielding questions and smoothly presenting the software safety program for five hours. We gained concurrence to proceed and the Program Office intends to write a letter of commendation. I am really good at what I do. It's too bad my line management is still trying to fire me.

I had fancy clothes, not a suit, though. Polo shirt and what we call "old man's pants" in Sweden, which is the opposite to what it may sound like. It's fine pants, not jeans or jogging pants or such.

I had chicken with honey and apple sauce, shallots in red wine, Jerusalem artichoke and potato gratin.  :viking:

Tom, my other clarinettist, turned up to the orchestral rehearsal. He told me about a new compulsory undergraduate subject at our uni called "my life as a musician", which we both agree sounds like "what I did over my holidays", and we had fun prefacing everything we said with "As a musician..." ("As a musician, I ate noodles for breakfast this morning.")

Phone not working.

It made me check if my automated payment had come through. And it had not. I noticed just in time to prevent disconnection from the world. Also found out what the problem with my phone was, so could make my favourite phonecall.

I learnt that when people say that a dead loved one is watching over me they aren't literally constantly watching me. Like, when I am on the toilet for example. To think that for the past month I covered myself up at every opportunity when unclothed and suppressed every fart because of a lie. :orly:
Now I can grieve a bit more easily and shit in peace.

I postponed grieving for my grandmother for about a decade, because I got told not to be sad, because she was not in pain any more, and safe with God. Somehow I felt guilty of missing her, as if I did not want her to be without pain. By the time I was around 20 I finally gave in to missing her a lot, and started to grieve.

The consolation never was meant to stop me from grieving. It did turn out that way for me though.

Good that happened today...well, I'm alive. I ate soft shell crab for dinner, albeit with not as much chilli and garlic as I would have liked.

Tomorrow however, WELL...the whore bitch who thinks she owns the joint is about to be taken down.

Just got a whiny message on my Blackberry from her. Ooh, I was nasty.


Silly me thinks of soft shell crab as being uniquely New Orleans.  I guess because it's not mentioned much in other cuisines.

It was Chinese soft shell crab. Like this;

I figured out why this number stopped me.  I know this number in many ways. First of all, I have this book on my shelf - last of the ISBN is as I had feared.


Here is a page from one of my favorite books:

The Beauty of Fractals (http://books.google.com/books?id=xb20psn4KbUC&pg=PA208&lpg=PA208&dq=15851+isbn+beauty+of+fractals&source=bl&ots=ZT7ULuqwig&sig=xuhCNJ3LGc_QNki2_lFfOqBwTiE&hl=en&ei=0qpZTdGaFISClAfa24n3Bw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CBkQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=15851%20isbn%20beauty%20of%20fractals&f=false)


You will have to scroll to page 171.

That's what the GP suggested on the referral to the psychologist for me. Medications are unable to treat my problem, totally ineffective. It's that deeply rooted to my core.

Hopefully. Whilst it cures some problems I'll almost definitely have nerve damage. I had a similar operation on my other leg and I ended up falling down a lot but the other leg could stop me most of the time. Now nothing will stop me, but at least I'll be able to walk. I need some of your weebleness! How do you not fall?! ???

That's the problem. I had heard it when watching some movie or documentary in the past month and I think it was japanese, and I had it come into my head earlier today and I knew how to find it on google until now. I've completely forgotten what the song was. All I remember is that it was calm and the most beautiful song in the world. Oh well. Well, another nice song I found today was The Factory of a Better Tomorrow Theme from little big planet 2. So I guess that's my new favourite song until I work out what the other was.

Wow..good for you...can i just ask...the pocket holster...do they come in purple? :zoinks:

I managed to help the Princess Royal find a copy of Sims2. 

It was on her laptop and is stuck in the door.  In any event it wouldn't probably work completely on the big computer (yeah, yeah, I know, it's my version of geek language - grandma geek.)  So we decided to buy a new one, but she had already bought a new Sims2 add on, and most stores had Sims3, not Sims 2 .................it's a long story.

Hm, interesting. I had surgery on both eyes in 1991, i.e. 20 years ago, and my sight has been almost perfect until the last 5-6 years or so but is still good. But good to know that it can be re-done if necessary.

Yeah, it's like Animal Crossing mixed with gladiators. Then it gets more stressful for the next morning, because more people need a doctor so there's more competition and a more fierce battle.

That would be unwise.

Have you read the whole one hundred ninety two page bill, regarding digital rights legislation, that Obama has presented before Congress?

There is even a clause designed to set the groundwork for making second-hand or used movies and CDs illegal, not to even mention the proposal for increased monies to support FBI investigations into piracy of all sorts.

That is wonderful news. Best wishes to H and D.  :)

Watch the movies. They are quite decent.

Thanks. I will take your advice.

It was a little strange, like getting a T-shirt for helping out at a concert, but this was a forty dollar movie set, instead of a flipping two dollarT-shirt. The weird thid thig thing was that more than half of the people I saw approach the desk refused to accept the free movie pack.

I will watch the movies on your recommendation.

The first one--and you really need to watch them in the right order--is very disturbing but it's also as good as anything produced in Sweden lately.

AH!

You da man, O!

I had a similar heart to heart with my son just before dawn today, standing out and praising him for his effort at clearing the entire public areas of snow, while I napped, yesterday.

 
Our man-to-man was about eye contact and ways to determine if it is worth stressing over when making certain points, using the almost infinite power of eye contact.

Have had a few good moments without them this holiday, makes the joy of having them around a lot bigger.

Need to find ways to get myself more alone time. Not just a wee hour here and there, just structural substantial alone time. Will be really good for me, and for my kids.

Yesterday I got pulled aside by a State Trooper on my way back from the airport. He did not give me a ticket. Technically, i didn't break the law and was really a victim of circumstances that made me look impatient. I was coming off the interstate and a huge tractor trailer was blocking the merge lane and the next two lanes over. He was also blocking my view of the light and what was going on. I slowed down and almost stopped behind me, but decided to peek around him since I was actually turning right at the light and did not need to merge. It looked completely clear with the exception of what appeared to be an abandoned vehicle on the shoulder half way to the light. At this point I make the decision that the tractor trailer was one of those guys who, rather than merge a lane at a time, would rather block all traffic by sliding across multiple lanes. So I scooted around him and was 2/3 on the shoulder and went through a huge puddle. As what laid beyond him came into view I realized it was not a red light causing the back-up, although it was red. Another tractor trailer was broken down in the right lane (not the merge/right turn lane). A State Trooper was behind the broken down tractor trailer and saw me and waved me to the shoulder and asked me to wait. He came over and lectured me about being patient, etc. and took my license and checked to see if I had any warrants. fortunately I do not, so he let me go. I actually didn't speed and was even doing 10+ below the limit. The puddle didn't help his perception of what he saw as I came from behind the other tractor trailer either. Had I gotten a ticket I might have gone ballistic.

No.
Why?

Because TheoK is?
They card just about anyone under 40 at Systembolaget.
(Yes, I've heard he looks about 38. So, a bit younger than 40, yes.)

Many people call TheoK Lit because he originally joined here with the name Litigious, which was shortened to Lit.

I don't know an answer to the second part of your question.  People tend to take me more seriously than I sometimes mean for them to as well, but in my case, I think that it is the way that I write.

A few weeks ago I bought a "Margarita" in a foil pouch at Wal-Mart for under $2.  Put it in the freezer (as it directed to) and forgot about it.  Pulled it out tonight, cut it open, poured it into a glass.  Not bad for a foil pouch drink.  BTW, it has real tequila in it.  Would like to try some other drinks.

Well it wasn't exactly good but it did make me laugh loads.

Tazzy (the cat) loves going upstairs but for some reason lately, she's taken to sticking her head/torso out through the banisters and because she extremely clumsy and can't land or jump properly, we panicked and barricaded the stairs with a window screen thing.  Her response was to meow mournfully at it.  However, today she decided to take matters into her own paws and began trying to get past the barricade. Her efforts were quite hilarious.  Then to our surprise, she managed to push the barricade slightly to the side and squeeze past it.  She looked extremely triumphant and proud of herself before she realised that I wasn't coming over to congratulate her but to plonk her back down on the landing.  She started running away from me and trying to hide but she's too pugdy to do it effectively  :laugh:  Anyway, I got her down and we fixed the barricade.  What followed though were the most hilarious 10 minutes of this year, probably, as she attempted to paw her way through the screen  :lol:  I felt bad laughing but watching her pawing/punching the barricade repeatedly and getting more and more frustrated was too funny.  It was also probably the most exercise she's had in years.

Just thought I'd share that.

Some idiot started a discussion on another forum, where he argued for the proposition that everyone in swedish workplaces should only speak swedish. During their breaks as well. Breaking that rule could lead to getting fired.

When I started copying his posts and correcting the hideous grammar, spelling, and typos, so that swedish people could understand his bad swedish, he blocked me from the discussion.

I consider that a victory  ;D
Although it was kind of ungrateful of him. I was only trying to help  :green:

FUCK!! my  back fixed itself. I feel strong.

Good and bad, really.

I was planning to veg for a bit in front of a movie, butt down, feet up, full stomach, mind off, but instead, the whole house is shaking.

It is NOT the kind of shake I like (using my stereo to shake the house), because there are huge implements across the street, tearing down and hauling away the remnants of the house that burned a few months ago. I knew it was bound to happen eventually, but why not take the house down while I was at work, instead of doing so on one of my treasured days off!?!??!

All that seems bad, but in the long run, the horrid smell of a burned house will go away more quickly if they haul it all to another place farther away from me.

Once it is done, THAT will be great!

I rounded out my trip by seeing the Sacre Couer, Notre Dame and the Arch de Triomph. I also went to the Grand Arch, which is big but ugly, and ended up at the wrong part of the station. Since my weekly pass was not working I did a modified turnstile jump and got on a train that ended up taking me way the fuck to the crappy South end of town where I had to wait until the train going back took me back where I started. To be safe in case my weekly pass was too far out I did another turnstile jump and managed to get back to where I knew the pass was good.

It sounds like you are having lots of fun, PPK.  Is your French causing you any problems?

I went around one turnstile in New York City for the subway.  My husband, our daughter, and I had just bought one week subway passes and mine didn't work correctly for me, while my husband and daughter had already made it through the turnstile and were on the other side, so someone told my husband to open the exit door for me and I went through that.

No because where my French fails the people here have been very helpful. I leave for home tomorrow and I will continue learning French so when I come back, go to Quebec or Belgium I can do better. I am ready to go home but I am happy I came here Callaway. Jumping turnstiles is not my default setting either but sometimes such things are required.

Not really good, but kind of funny.

I "beat"  Muscles   (a young weight lifter I work with) in a handgrip contest. We had two people bet on "Gorilla Hands"  (that's me) and six people bet on Muscles (he is about twenty six, cute, ginger, solid, not smart).

I was about to call it quits (I am a bit too old for this shit, but only one guy knows how old I really am. He bet on my winning) or ask for a draw, when Muscles brought his other hand into the contest to "cheat."  At that point, I simply placed one finger of my other hand on a pressure point, practically paralyzing his hand, which allowed me to bend it backwards/sideways between his middle and ring fingers. I knew then, it was over, since he cheated, and I watched him grimace and try to be tough for a few seconds more. A tiny bit more pressure and he gave up, freaked out. He asked what the hell I had done to him. I just said, "You tried to cheat. I cheated back. You lose."

He said, "No, you made my hand die, WTF did you do to me? It still hurts."  I just reminded him that he had tried to cheat, by bringing in his other hand to win. I just touched a nerve and made his hand weak. I asked if he wanted to try again, without cheating. He said, "FUCK NO! You win."

 :laugh:

Never try to cheat on someone who knows more tricks than you do.

I'm happy for you. Those things are more expensive than normal clothes. I used to have to pay over $50 for a damn school skirt, only to pay another $30 for alterations (the pleats were so intricate, that home sewing job would 'look' like a home sewing job)...so in excess of $80 per school skirt.

I would love to know how much the education dept makes from school uniforms....doesn't seem to be listed anywhere under their funding reports...just one of my many  :soapbox: rants about the public school system. I think I paid less when they were in a private school.

Glad that it is not that expensive here. Short and shirt together have costed me 15 euros I think. But, they were ordered in bulk. Can imagine ordering just one new set would cost a bit more.

I am amazed at how low the schooling costs are. And I am happy that only for PE the kids have to wear uniform, very oversized stuff. For the rest they can come in their own clothes.

I got a S60 D5 turbo diesel.  To be honest it's not as bad on fuel as my old Merc.  I love the car, never had a Volvo before, but i am a big fan now.  I dunno how many valves it has though, doh,  lol

Most older Volvos are pretty "thirsty". A 244 with a 2.3 litre engine in its turn consumes more fuel than the heavier 2.5 litre (and 5 cylinder) 850, for instance.

The D5 turbo diesel has 20 valves. 4 valves/cylinder is standard by most cars nowadays.

Jess isn't as snuggly as Flo was coz she's not fat and she won't stay still long enough

But I do like picking her up, plonking her on the bed and then quickly trapping her under the sheets

Sometimes she curls up near my stomach and goes to sleep

Flo preferred right next to my face

I think jess would stay there most often and for longer if I didn't have Zhukov (the bird) in the same room, as she always gets tempted and goes off to hunt him

While I was outside The Tides restaurant @ Bodega Bay earlier today I saw a small grayish Harbor Seal (Phoca vitulina richardsi Zeg!) for a few minutes before it went under. I did not have my camera. The ones we have in the SF Bay around Benicia and Vallejo tend to be mostly black with brown spots and larger, this one was gray and seemed to be only about 3' long, perhaps it was a juvenile.   :dunno: It was good to see, seals are wonderful animals with excellent specialized skills.  :thumbup:  :viking:

When seals dive deep they constrict blood vessels in their heads to minimize heat loss and O2 consumption. They are excellent at catching fish, evading sharks and just plain being seals. They are intelligent creative problem solvers. I like living where I can see them year around, they are fascinating animals. Here is a picture of a mama Harbor Seal with pup @ La Jolla CA, this is actually the same coloration I saw at Bodega Bay today, our seals in the SF Bay are darker. How could you not like these critters?

We also had an exchange that made me laugh:
Him: "Besides unity and variation, what is there to music?"
Me: "Other than knowing what all the instruments can do and so forth, not a lot."
Him: "There, that's it; I've told you all about composition. You can go now."
Me: "Now I shall be a great composer."

He thinks my work is going well. It was a good lesson.

The soles have indeed worn down a bit, though no more so than usual for a pair of my shoes. I suspect my weight has begun to
take a toll on my feet. Also, I walk a bit strangely, kind of on the *outside* of the right foot, and maybe I've weakened a muscle
by doing so. New shoes (and a diet!) are definitely in order, and I will keep using the gel inserts.  :viking:

It may be age too.

I never had a big problem with shoes wearing out a bit, but now I feel it a lot sooner. It really can hurt a lot. And, my soles wear out just under the arch on my forefoot. I used to wear them down on the side. But, since a few years, that changed. Weight surely will not help. Yup, could do without a bit of my weight too, but, I fear it is not just that.

by doing so. New shoes (and a diet!) are definitely in order, and I will keep using the gel inserts.  :viking:

Don't know how to bring it to you..........  :zoinks:

It may be age too.

I never had a big problem with shoes wearing out a bit, but now I feel it a lot sooner. It really can hurt a lot. And, my soles wear out just under the arch on my forefoot. I used to wear them down on the side. But, since a few years, that changed. Weight surely will not help. Yup, could do without a bit of my weight too, but, I fear it is not just that.

Most of my salamanders are juveniles and smaller than my pinkie at the moment, so housing and caring for them isn't as vast an undertaking as it might sound.  The only other pets that I have besides Waggy and the salamanders are the woodlice, crickets, worms and other invertebrates that I use as live food.  Raising enough live food to keep all those little mouths fed is the most difficult part.

The gel insert in my right shoe is already making my hurting foot feel better.  :viking:
:thumbup: Proper fit is critical to comfort.

I'm not sure what's causing the burning pain in this foot, but at least I'll be more comfortable till it heals.  8)
Try a spray powder with Tolnaftate in it.

It's not a burning in my skin, though. It feels as if it's in the muscles or something.  :chin:

How is the status of your shoes? Are the soles worn a bit? And if so, have they worn out more underneath were you feel the pain?

Could be "just" that, worn soles.

The soles have indeed worn down a bit, though no more so than usual for a pair of my shoes. I suspect my weight has begun to
take a toll on my feet. Also, I walk a bit strangely, kind of on the *outside* of the right foot, and maybe I've weakened a muscle
by doing so. New shoes (and a diet!) are definitely in order, and I will keep using the gel inserts.  :viking:

Do the first few steps when you get out of bed hurt more than the rest and is the pain mostly in your heel?

I wonder if it can be a heel spur caused by plantar fasciitis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantar_fasciitis)?

I had that right after I had my daughter and heel orthotics I got from the doctor and gentle stretching helped me a lot.

I had that kind of pain a few years ago; this is very different. The pain is on top of my foot and on one side (the side closest to the other foot).

I've had a few complete blackouts a few years ago, one while driving. Have had partial black-outs now and then ever since. In retrospect, I have had more complete black-outs, that I did not recognise back then, being gone when in agony.
My GP has the habit of calling everything stress-related, and did not want me further examined.
But now someone else finally has me referred. And I'm glad about that. Since summer 2006 I have not dared to drive a car anymore. With some answers that may change, or not, at least I will know.

I am really pleased today.  Tried to have an evaluation on the urchin july last year.  To see how far behind he was.  Had to abandon as he couldn't complete enough of the tasks.  He either did not know what was expected of him or he just couldn't do it.

Evaluation was done today.  I was expecting him to be so far behind -  like maybe a 1.5 year old.  Three area's he performed as a 3.5 year old.  Two as a 2.5 year old and just one as a two year old.  Urchin is 3 years 11 months.

I now you might be thinking well it's not that good he is still behind.  He is yes but i have to look at eight months ago he was incapable of completing the evaluation.  I think he has really caught up loads,  he will probably always be some way behind his peers,  but he is a happy boy.
gonna quote from report now
Quote
Based on my observations and work with him, he presented as a pleasant boy who is keen to please and will respond to rewards offered to him.  I understand from his key worker he is now joining in with the other children for most activities. He has started developing 'peer' friendships.  He has quickly developed a functional use of language,  demonstrating 'turn taking' in conversation.  He was also observed initiating conversation and changing the topic of a conversation.  He tends to spend less time on an activity if he has not chosen it.  On his 'activity of choice' he was able to paint for 30 minutes, without a break, stopping only to show his key worker what he had produced - a colourful painting.
  That was from his assessment by the Educational Psychologist.  I never got to see the colourful painting though :'(

I got my part for the production of Fiddler on the Roof that I'm playing in, and I have the 1st clarinet part, which has a bunch of cool solos.

I went to Berkeley and had a discussion at a store with an old guy from Tibet. I did some minor league troubleshooting for him to determine that a starter was bad on his light circuit in his display case so he gave me a little bit off of a necklace with a cross made of Yak bone. We also discussed some tenets of Buddhism, Christianity and Zoroastrianism and some recurring archetypes in religion. He gave me the title of a book that gives a synopsis of Tibetan Buddhism that I may order from Amazon. He is an interesting person.

Asked the frog if I should take away the needles. Removed them. And all the time the frog was blinking it's tiny eyes. It was not in a fright stupor, just was sitting there.

Was nice.  :laugh:

I saw some houses and units for sale!! :cheer:

The first one (a unit) was a bit 70's and needed a new kitchen, albeit it was the most spacious of the ones I saw.

The second one (another unit in a highrise) was very tiny. "You couldn't swing a cat in it" as my dad would say.

The third one (a house) was very old but in ok shape. A bit outta my price range though.

The forth one (a villla-ish unit thing) was nice enough. Still worried about the body corp (cheap per quarter but the gardens & building exterior are neglected)

Thank you. That's what I thought too. We were only with them a month before they offered us a second store and after a month there and me jumping in to cover off things that needed to be done that my boss couldn't get to, it's become so much more. I am beyond thrilled. Close to tears I'm so happy and excited and proud of myself. Working with cats puts me in my comfort zone, but taking on a more managerial approach as well brings back the side of me that was pre-kids when I worked in Human Resources. I'm good at paperwork and organizing people and this kind of environment is perfect for me. The added bonus is that monkeyboy is getting so many good life skills and giving back to the community is an important part of growing up. This gives me some purpose right now which will be very beneficial while the rest of my life is shifting.

Very excited about it. Organizing people and organizing paperwork are two of my strengths so it feels good to put that to good use. Right now I'm just filling in for the things my boss can't get to (she's managing several stores at one) like keeping an eye on the proper filings for the cats, the volunteer log book to see who's having issues, but I eventually want to be the person who trains others for that store. And after the ex moves out I'm looking at becoming a foster mum to some of the rescues. That's why monkeyboy asked for this birthday (in november) in place of a large party and it's something I would love to do. So we'll see.

Oh that sounds so good... Right now I'd like a nice chicken pie with chips/fries/whatever. Mince pies are good too, both the christmas variety and the ones with mince and onion in that you can buy from the chippy with gravy and mushy peas on side. Apparently there's curry pies too, I wouldn't mind trying those.

Yes, track suits! Those are the ones! Do you have people like that in Sweden? What do you call them?   :orly:

Hm...we call them white trash, as far as I know...tracksuits are seldom seen in Stockholm nowadays though. Maybe some hiphop-variation.

Raggare, as TheoK mentioned are basically a mix between rockabillys and hillbillies. A subculture of their own, mostly seen in the rural areas of Sweden.

Sleeping 'under' a thunderstorm is great, imo. Dunno what it is exactly.. but when sheltered/save it's nice.

In the supermarket I ran into my niece Sietske (of dunno.. 24/25 y/o) and her boyfriend.. 3 hours ago or so. I hadn't seen them for about half a year, I think.. and this while we live in the same, not all that big a, city.

She's really nice and very artistic (and not autistic, btw).. well, she/they invited me to have a glass of wine together soon.. so I could see their new place in town's centre also.

Sense I should have handed in a paper saying I'm still studying (living in a student apartment) or my cancellation march 23, and this is the only apartment available in the area I want to live in.....I figure my shots are....fair.

I also have almost 4 years of days in qeue.
We'll see.

2 bedroom apartment on the ground floor, 61m 2, 5 181 crowns a month.

Warning: this post is tl;dr.

Thank you to those people who said that my research topic sounds interesting. :)


Congrats. What's the proposal about?

Thanks.
It's on the topic of authenticity in music; specifically, whether a complete unambiguous notation system would be possible, if so, would it be desirable?

I'd be very interested in further details once you have some.

Well, if you're still interested by the end of May when it's due I can post a link to the entire essay; for now I'll just give a rundown.

The introduction will be the usual stating of topic, rationale, "in this essay I will blah blah blah" and will mention the fact that music notation began as an aide memoire for aurally trained performers and was highly ambiguous, and that it has become progressively less so, but that it still presumes a fair deal of knowledge of expressive conventions.


Next step will be to define “unambiguous”; complete unambiguity seems impossible to me as you'd need to express an infinite number of possibilities, and you'd run out of particles in the universe. Damn limited universe. >__<
So I'll define “unambiguous” within the limits of human perception, which I'll have to look up again with regards to pitch, duration and loudness discrimination.

By this point I've established that it would be possible, so now it's time to move on to the issue of desirability. The complexity of such a system will be a major point against it, and I'll give a few examples of the fact that humans' perceptual abilities tend to far exceed their productive abilities: recognition vs recall, receptive vs expressive vocabulary, active vs passive perfect pitch etc. etc. and so forth. Thus, even if a composer could write using it, that's no guarantee that a performer could realise it. This part would also raise the issue of the huge complexity meaning that pieces would take far longer to learn than they do now.

Some time will be spent on peoples' attitudes toward authenticity, particularly contrasting Romantic with modern attitudes. This will lead to questions of whether there is one “correct” interpretation of a work, and whether a composer always has one fixed ideal of a work in their mind (which generally I don't believe they do; humans are not photocopiers).

Leading on from the too-much-complexity argument, I will argue that, as I said before, humans are not photocopiers, they have they ability to evaluate and interpret, and that thus spoon-feeding performers every. tiny. little. detail. of a piece is wasting the capabilities of the human brain, overtaxing it for the sake of being able to get performances that could be achieved by collaborations between composers and competent performers, and that if you want something that will do exactly as you say, go talk to a computer.

Possibly there will be other points, but I've not yet decided.

The conclusion will draw all the threads together; “in this essay I have blah blah blah” and use the excess-complexity, waste-of-human-abilities, and-besides-composers-don't-always-have-a-fixed-idea-of-their-work/s arguments to argue that an unambiguous notational system would be more trouble than it's worth.

A quote of the synopsis that I sent to my professor:


Quote
Throughout its development, the Western system of music notation has become far less ambiguous.   However, modern notation still requires many assumptions to be made regarding factors such as phrasing, exact tempo, bowings and other interpretive details; it also requires knowledge of expressive conventions to produce non-mechanical performances. Is an unambiguous notational system possible; if so, is it desirable? My paper will address the questions of whether authenticity is desirable, whether there can be one “correct” interpretation of a work, and whether a composer’s intentions are always clear: do composers always envision their works in the same way? The main focus of my paper will be to evaluate the desirability of complete unambiguity in music, it will also focus on comparing and contrasting attitudes toward authenticity expressed in the Romantic period to those of today, and on evaluating said attitudes.

Things that happened today that were good: got 77 pages of photocopying done for free, and my composition teacher is going to speak with one of the research staff to find ways for me to get a Ph.D. candidature without having to pay ridiculous amounts of money, which I don't have, for a bridging course.

My daughter got the arrival time off by a bit )we got to school WAY early!(, but she got all dressed up, wore some of my old costume jewelry (I used fancy loooking shit sometimes in my studio photography work) and is heading out to enjoy a school tour.


They (all the fourth graders in our district) are being presented with an early morning concert PRIZE by The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra.  ISO is truly a world class organization and her being able to experience a (free) concert at her age is really a GOOD THING!!

Finding some closure in the death of my great-aunt. She lived until she was 96 which is an amazing thing in itself. She passed away yesterday morning and it was a big struggle for me as we were very close. But today things are easier and I'm processing better. I have several relatives who are in their 90's. Longevity in the genes.

I get my fiesty/witty side from her. She was one the funniest people I knew. It's sad to lose a generation though. She was my Grandpa's little sister. There were 7 siblings and now only 3 remain.

Processing will take more time than you think.  You are not alone. Many of us have lost loved ones. If you need to bounce emotions off someone kind, I will do my best to help.

Went to a psychologist and turns out I'm most likely stressed.  My evaluation showed that I'm at the 14th percentile on one of the figure thingy tests, 50something on another; 98th percentile for a word test; 70+ on all the other tests.

 The high score on word skills does not surprise me.  Your Majesty is a most effective speaker!   :viking:

The ex wants monkeyboy to take an education test every 2 years because he doesn't think he does anything at home. Monkeyboys autism doctor decided to administer it (leaving the ex upset since he couldn't hire someone himself) and monkeyboy passed with flying colours. Bang on for reading, spelling, applying knowledge. Math was slightly behind but only because he hasn't grasped multiplication yet. Dr said I was doing a good job, keep working, see you in 6 months.

Then the ex tried to hide that he had booked a secret appointment to meet with the doctor without me knowing, but the secretary blew his cover. :green:

So damn proud of that kid of mine. he put in a solid hour of pencil/paper task hating every minute if it (and his ADHD side makes it hard to sit still and focus) and he did it. Boy is the ex not happy about it. Which is pretty sad since he can't see the big picture and celebrate how well monkeyboy is doing.

That's great that he did so well, CG.

I helped my daughter learn her multiplication tables by buying her a Schoolhouse Rock DVD.  If monkeyboy likes songs and learns them more easily than flashcards, that might help him have a new way to learn them as well.  I think they are all on YouTube now.

This is a fairly representitive cemetery in New Orleans.  The dead were "buried" above ground because the high water level in the ground often caused the coffins to float to the surface.  Burial above ground became the norm.  There are a lot of family tombs where 3 and 4 generations are buried above ground.  Now there are some cemeteries in the suburbs with in-ground burials.

Seeing the graveyards in New Orleans is on my lifes to do list. I've always been to drawn to old graveyards with lots of history. Lit mentioned Greece, when I was there I was struck by all the roadside memorials. They build them on the place where the people died even though the bodies are buried elsewhere. Most are simple like the top one, some are elaborate. They have personal momentos in them, a candle, oil, rocks, and a picture of various saints.

Most people don't try starting with large-scale symphonic works. :P If you get the urge to compose, start with simple tunes and work your way up.


 I never get tunes in my head.  No talent in that direction!  :laugh:

Just get a cat and let it walk over a piano until it sounds good.  :zoinks:

   Here's a cat now, let's see if I can get her interested...   :kitten:

Hello music kitty!
The next step is to work out what notes the cat is stepping on.

Today I got new pyjamas for only $9.

Definitely the most authentic royal wedding yet. You can tell during the ceremony that they really love each other.

they seem like a nice couple tbh. I am a definite republican and think we should abolish the monarchy, but I wish them the best as individual people and hope they're happy together. I remember watching him and his brother at Diana's funeral when I was about 9

He did and it was completely spontaneous. She didn't have a change of clothes for tonights festivities and had to go back to the hotel to get it so he said he'd grab a car and take her himself. :laugh: That's where his Mum's personality shines through. He has a mind of his own.

Good prices, especially the shorts.

My mum made her mind up that she and my step-dad are going to take their car to the airport and leave it there for the week rather than getting me to drive them late tomorrow night. Suits me, I am always paranoid that my car will break down in an inconvenient place and time. It has done it before.

She learned about cars in WW2 when she was in the service.

In 1943, at the age of 16, Elizabeth undertook her first solo public appearance on a visit to the Grenadier Guards, of which she had been appointed Colonel-in-Chief the previous year.  In February 1945, she joined the Women's Auxiliary Territorial Service, as an honorary Second Subaltern with the service number of 230873.  She trained as a driver and mechanic, drove a military truck, and was promoted to honorary Junior Commander five months later.

Socialised with complete strangers for 8 hours straight, no xanax needed, and found one our cats "Linus" a happy home. He went to live with an 82 year old British man who's wife was put in a nursing home in July and no longer knows who he is. But he visits her faithfully every afternoon to bring her a snack and a drink but he's lonely. Had cats all his life, since the first cat he got in 1933. His most recent cat passed away a few months ago at the age of 15. Now he has 3 year old Linus to come home to every day and the house won't feel so empty.

To understand this, know that I burn very easily and even before I burn I get a burning sensation on my skin. I turn red and peel after half an hour in the sun. It is one of the reasons I worked overnights.
Magnify this enormously due to moving to Florida.

Now imagaine that today I took something that made it possible for me to be out in the sun for 3 hours today with no sleeves and no hat and I didn't burn. It was extra vitamin D. I am incredibly happy not to be a vampire anymore.

Today during my daily bike ride I saw two spoonbills* fly low. Oink? Don't think I've ever encountered them before.
Well, went after the big birds and saw one again in a little pond/lake nearby. Cool.

While I was working on sewing a new denim hat for my daughter a little while ago, the presser foot lever on my serger fell off into my hand.

Fortunately, I was able to figure out how to fix it by partially disassembling the serger.  The screw that was supposed to hold it in place had fallen out, so it was easy to replace.

I'm going to either be the new Adoption Coordinator or the Rescue Coordinator. Waiting to hear back which section they're giving me. So basically I will either be interviewing potential adopters for the organization, or being one of the go to people to help the public deal with unwanted/feral/injured cats. Either one requires a helluva lot of phone time which for anyone who has known me long enough knows I abhor the phone  :facepalm2: but with EBM leaving for his new job (which changes our routine) and the divorce, this would be a good distraction for me and look good on a potential resume down the road since I've been home with the kids since 1998.

So that's the reason why I took it. :)

At last nights local union meeting a very good friend of mine, who was fired from the office last Summer, announced that he is running for President of the local. That is the #2 position in the local. I am already on the same page with him. About 10 PM last night I called the challenger for the Business Manager/Financial Secretary position, the #1 position, and told him 3 specific things that I believe are screwing up the local. He seems to be receptive to these changes. Hopefully my local will be run better after the June election.

*EBM arrived safely in MT. Halfway point to his destination in Idaho.


Well over half way. I did about 1,000 miles (1,600 km) today, only about 300 miles (482 km) left.

Surprise visit of the heating mechanic for the annual check up of my heating system.

I hate surprises like that, and I don't like people in my house. But.... I was prepared to have someone of the housing company here this afternoon. Had mentally prepared myself for that. So, this surprise visit happened on the right day.

And, he also found a problem I had been mentioning a couple of years now, but no-one could find it. He found it without me mentioning it.

So, all good.

Very good to hear, QV!

My Aunt finally got the results back after having her mastectomy. Of the two types of cancer it could have been, it's the lesser of the two evils. So instead of chemo, she can take a pill at home. Has all sorts of side effects and it will take her body 3-4 months to adjust to it and she has to continue it for 5 years, keeping an eye on it because it can damage her heart and cause a lot of bone density loss, but at least it wasn't worse than what it is. Very, very, relieved. :)

My mom had a successful masectomy, chemo and radiation in the 1970's.  Thankfully most cancers have a good outcome if caught in time.  Glad things look good for you aunt.

She had her first masectomy 10 years ago and all the treatment that goes with it and they said there was little to no chance of it coming back and then all of a sudden at her last mammogram, there it is. Shocked all of us. But now that there's no breasts to be had, she definitely can't get breast cancer again :P Although we're hoping it doesn't creep up in other places.

she's also been told not to take them round to that weirdo's house anymore as they are "known to social services"

they won't say why, but could be fucking anything. Yet she still took them rtound there till 3am the other week, ignoring D crying to go home. Fucking bitch. There's something seriously wrong with her. She's lost all three of her kids now really

She looked at Italians as just one step above Gypsies.   Then again she was born in 1900 and from a close Irish Catholic community.

We had an afterwork activity--we went pistol shooting on a shooting range and got to try three different firearms (hey, PPK, aren't you proud of me now?) of which one was the magnum 357. Can't remember the others but there was a small-calibre one designed for competitions and one with more bang than the Magnum.

I did reasonably well, considering, and it was a lot of fun.

Interesting meeting this afternoon. Got home with two places to apply for another job. That's a really positive outcome. We've decided to change the approach to get a job too. Kind of detour to make employers less scared to hire someone with a label. Long term thinking though. For now the first action will be applying for those two jobs.

I heard Prince Albert cursing and swearing mightily in the other room.  He was trying to re-attach a watch band.  After hearing several minutes of this I took over and for the first time in my life I replaced a watch band.  I used a letter opener type staple remover to squeeze the spring bar and while it took a few tries I managed to do it in less than 5 minutes, including a learning curve.

Was it difficult to learn or merely tedious until you learned it?  Is there a special tool that's used to depress the spring bar or can something like tweezers be used?

I always thought it was some esoteric skill that only some people were allowed to learn.  I will admit that I lost one of the spring bars when it flew somewhere in the room.  We had another watch band for a different colored watch, so I scrounged from it.  I will try to buy a watch from Goodwill with the right width band the next time since that might be cheaper in the long run.

No, it was pretty easy for me to figure out.  For a watch like your husband's, there's a tool that looks like a thin bladed but broad rounded knife that you use to depress the spring bar.  You can also use it to pry off the back of the watch to change the batteries, unless the back screws on.

I think I finally sealed all the leaks in the first of my pondquariums, though I'll need to mark the water level and wait a day or two to be sure.  If it's watertight, I'll drain it so that I can install a newt-proof overhang around the edge and bird-proof netting over the top of it before refilling it for the last time.  My second pondquarium is also nearly complete, but I need to wait for some more sealant to arrive and for several days of dry weather before I can finish it.

I paid £20.95 for 4 tubes of Everflex Weather Mate sealant, but I was sent 16 tubes by mistake.  I've checked my bank account to make sure I wasn't charged £83.80 for it, and they only charged the original price of £20.95.  The mix-up probably happened because the picture in the listing shows 4 tubes, while the text specifies that the price is for one tube.

According to the dentist, the head/face-aches aren't being caused by anything wrong with my teeth or gums, but by muscle tension in my jaw.  Also, I apparently have rather well developed mandibular muscles.  She asked me if I worked out a lot, and I think she was wondering if the well developed mandibular muscles were the result of steroid use, but I told her that I don't, and described my long-standing issues with muscle tension and how I sometimes get injuries when a muscle keeps contracting until it damages itself.

The dentist gave me a referral to a dental hospital and told me that they'd probably probably try fitting me with a dental splint (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occlusal_splint), which she also said might not help me much, since they're more for preventing tooth grinding, which I don't suffer from, and that if the dental splint didn't work, they'd prescribe a muscle relaxant.

Not something good, but something that made me laugh uproariously.  They're filming a scene for Lay the Favorite (Bruce Willis and Vince Vaughn) at the diner I frequent.  I drove by there after they had finished shooting and were striking the set.  There was a street sign next to the diner, saying "NO PARKING WHEN SNOW 2 FEET DEEP."   This was on June 6, temperature in the low 90's.  Absolutely tickled my funny bone.

Woman Cuts Off Attacker's Genitals
Bangladeshi Woman Brought Penis To Police As Evidence
 
A 40-year-old Bangladeshi woman cut off a man's penis during an alleged attempted rape and took it to a police station as evidence, police in a remote part of Bangladesh said. The woman, a married mother of three, was attacked while she was sleeping in her shanty Saturday night, officers told AFP. "As he tried to rape her, the lady cut his penis off with a knife. She then wrapped up the penis in a piece of polythene and brought it to the Jhalakathi police station as evidence of the crime," police chief Abul Khaer said.

The woman has filed a case accusing the man -- who is also 40 and a married father of five -- of attempted rape, saying that he had been harassing her for six months. The severed penis has been kept at the police station and the rape suspect was undergoing treatment in hospital.

"We shall arrest him once his condition gets better," Khaer told AFP.

Talked to my sister on the phone this morning and I mentioned the toothaches I had the last couple of days. Blahiah, no painkiller seem to do anything or helped in the slightest way. Well, long story short.. it turned out she still had 5 sachets of Brufen lying around somewhere and that she would bring them ASAP. She did and must say, the Brufen pretty much did the trick finally.

Thank you sister. Taking the first of them made quite a difference this afternoon. Will buy you some flowers or a nice plant very soon.

Am in a competition at work, they are trying to shift a heap of nice handsets on a high end user plan. I sent out some really good emails to targeted customers that I researched shit out of. i reckon the conversion rate will be god if I can follow up on them.
Whilst everyone else there is pitching shit out of these things either with no targeting or conversely pitching and drying up the easiest sources, I will find niche targeting and work the needs creatively. It is harder and more time consuming but I will be able to sustain many more opportunities to pitch confidently and effectively. That is the hope.

The Princess Royal woke this morning with excruciating pain in her abdomen.  Pale faced, sick looking around the eyes, felt warmish.  She doesn't cry often, but she did cry over this.  Thankfully the doctor has office hours on Saturday.  Took her over there, still in pain.  Just as the doctor walked in she puked all over the floor.  Instead of the appendicitis we feared it was thankfully a bad stomach virus.  After resting with some OTC sleeping aids she woke up feeling better.  Now we're seeing how she's tolerating liquids.

What's the good part?

It wasn't appendicitis.
She's still seeing the only pediatrician she's ever had and he's said as long as it's something he can treat he'll continue seeing her.
The doctor and I have such a close relationship that he and I are on each other's facebook and regularly exchange joke emails.

My good thing is that my daughter finally figured out how to swing herself on the swings today when we walked to the park.

I gave her ten hard pushes at a time, and then walked away in between pushes to use a magnet on the sand and small rocks at the park looking for magnetite, which she likes.

Yes.  I remember when she was about 3 and had a cluster of febrile seizures that went from 10 pm to 4 am before the emergency room had them under control.  (You know it's bad when you're giving the admit clerk your insurance information and the ER nurse comes in and says, "We need to see the Mother now.")  We made an emergency appt with the pediatrician that morning and he spent 1 hour talking to us about seizures, what to do, etc.  He is also the PR and PA's allergist, so I'm the only one who doesn't see him for medical stuff.

The Princess Royal woke this morning with excruciating pain in her abdomen.  Pale faced, sick looking around the eyes, felt warmish.  She doesn't cry often, but she did cry over this.  Thankfully the doctor has office hours on Saturday.  Took her over there, still in pain.  Just as the doctor walked in she puked all over the floor.  Instead of the appendicitis we feared it was thankfully a bad stomach virus.  After resting with some OTC sleeping aids she woke up feeling better.  Now we're seeing how she's tolerating liquids.

What's the good part?

It wasn't appendicitis.
She's still seeing the only pediatrician she's ever had and he's said as long as it's something he can treat he'll continue seeing her.
The doctor and I have such a close relationship that he and I are on each other's facebook and regularly exchange joke emails.

I'm very relieved for her that it wasn't appendicitis.

My good thing is that my daughter finally figured out how to swing herself on the swings today when we walked to the park.

I gave her ten hard pushes at a time, and then walked away in between pushes to use a magnet on the sand and small rocks at the park looking for magnetite, which she likes.

Great for your daughter.  Swinging on swings is something I love to do, but there don't seem to be too many that fit adults.  Oh, to be a child again  :laugh:

The ones at the parks here are one size fits all and adults often swing on them.

Our parks have blue ones like these:

We used to have those, but the recreation department is getting rid of all swings except for diaper style ones for toddlers.  Fear of litigation and increased insurance costs.  Idiots.

This one has a digital machine as well and I scooted over to see the images on the monitor too.  The front views where you face the table and the plastic thing clamps down onto the breasts wasn't too bad at all, but the side views where they turnthe table sort of diagonally to try to get the lymph nodes under your arms were painful when they clamped down onto my breasts.

Mum's ex-biology teacher friend visited and was amazed at how much Jaws (one of my axolotls) had grown since she last saw him.  She was also amazed at the way he responded to me, which she described as 'unmistakably recognition' and 'almost affection', and his ability to visually track me as I walked across the room.  She used to have an axolotl in her biology department at school, but she said it didn't respond to people to the degree that Jaws responds to me.

The whole Harry Potter thing is a bit like Apple iPhone--the more people encourage me to read/see/use it, the more I resist. And it's got nothing whatsoever to do with what i think of the product. I'm just a grumpy old man and a contrary bastard to boot.
agreed about the popularity/pressure, though there's none on me because I don't have any IRL friends. I thought the movie was as bad as the book - as the series progressed, the books got longer and more boring to the extent that I read the last two in the bookstore rather than waste money on them.
On the other hand, I like going to movies with my partner, and it's even better when we don't have to wait in line or until midnight, and we don't have to pay for tickets. Her job has gotten us in to see 3 Harry Potter movies and into Universal Studios theme park. All we paid for was the food.

btw, the first half of Deathly Hallows was fairly good - worth seeing on one of the pirate sites.

I would read the books over seeing the movies. I don't think the movies would seem that good if the books aren't read first.

I will see the movie next week when there aren't so many people in the theatre.

I was headed home from downtown today. As I was passing the airport, I saw a Mooney M20K. So I pulled into the airport and went to take a look. The owner was there and i strted to chat with him. Tounge in cheek, I asked for a ride in it. He said "sure, I'm not flying it today, but here's my card, give me a call and next time I fly somewhere you can come along for a ride".

I guess you guys don't know the background, but my son played baseball for the first time this year and I volunteered as a coach and wasn't chosen. Well, the head coach was nice and encouraging but didn't teach as much as I'd have expected with hands-on instruction. The main assistant coach was nice, but knew nothing of baseball. The second assistant was less than knowledgeable and a bit of an ass. He was mean to his own kid and even threw a helmet into his knee when the kid was tying his shoe but his dad wanted him to put on his helmet at that exact moment. The final assistant was never there, which is where I came in.

I was at every game but one and kept the scorebook. I've played since I was 7 and only recently stopped playing semi-pro as my back and knees got worse. Needless to say, I am very knoweldgeable of the game and the ins and outs of how to play. Well, from the first game I noticed nobody was helping the kids to prepare to hit. I was the defacto bench coach as we never had all four coaches there until the last game of the season. It was coach-pitch and the other two would coach first and third base. When I had time to work with each kid they all hit better and by seasons end even the kids who were quite clueless were hitting the ball. I took a lot of pride in this and the kids surely noticed and we had all become buddies.

Today was the team party and awards ceremony and the Team Mother made it a point to honor me at the awards ceremony and I got a card signed by the parents thanking me for all of my work with the kids all season and even got a $25 gift certificate too. I almost cried. It meant a lot and I must admit having not gotten selected as an assistant coach, not gotten to be in the team picture, and not gotten thanked throughout the season despite all I did, which was more than the other coaches, I was a bit flustered. A lot of the kids called me coach and thanked me and that was more important, but to have the parents notice all I did was very meaningful.

I am all warm and fuzzy inside.

Once upon a time, a Prince asked a beautiful Princess, Will you marry me? The Princess said, No!!! And the Prince lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and banged skinny long-legged big breasted broads and hunted and fished and raced cars and went to strip bars and dated women half his age and drank whiskey, beer and Captain Morgan and never heard bitching and never paid child support or alimony and banged cheerleaders and kept his house and guns and ate spam and potato chips and beans and blew enormous farts and never got cheated on while he was at work and all his friends and family thought he was frikin cool as hell and he had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up.    The end.

With the minions gone, I got started on my big project to rearrange and clean up the basement. Trying to move my toys to th backside of the house and move the office, entertainment center, and couch to the front-left. Still not sure about the pool/air hockey table. The front quadrants have less space due to the stairs sitting between them. I'd like to set it up so the miniins don't have to clim through my toy collection to play down there.

Tomorrow I am gonna run some electrical wire to add an outlet for the computer. The whole project is so slow because there really is no extra space. I have to empty and move a set of shelves to make room to slide in stuff from the other section, but can't put the stuff I first emptied and moved where it needs to go yet. It's like one of those slide puzzles usually with numbers but sometimes patterns.

I think I've solved my toothache.  Went to the dentist about 10 or 12 days ago.  No gingivitis or cavity.  Tooth/teeth still sensitive.  Went in 5 days later for a teeth cleaning.  Tooth/teeth still sensitive.  Did what the hygienist and dentist recommended as far as flossing, mouth wash, and brushin.  No appreciable change.  Analyzed the situation.  Realized I spend a lot of time with that area of my face on my fist/palm when sitting at the computer.  Consciously stopped same.  Definite decrease in pain and sensitivity.

I think I've solved my toothache.  Went to the dentist about 10 or 12 days ago.  No gingivitis or cavity.  Tooth/teeth still sensitive.  Went in 5 days later for a teeth cleaning.  Tooth/teeth still sensitive.  Did what the hygienist and dentist recommended as far as flossing, mouth wash, and brushin.  No appreciable change.  Analyzed the situation.  Realized I spend a lot of time with that area of my face on my fist/palm when sitting at the computer.  Consciously stopped same.  Definite decrease in pain and sensitivity.

Swapped out the last of the shelves from the two sections of the basement, including my massive CD and cassette collection. Still have to sort the CDs and put them back on the shelves. That is going to be tedious. Must be alphabetical by artist then order of release of albums then order of release of singles then interview discs. About 75% is in order, but I stopped adjusting and inserting new stuff over 10 years ago. Thankfully I mostly do mp3 downloads now. :headbang2:

Something to do with magpies?

I didn't have a headache today. Also, I went in to uni and participated in an experiment there (it was a questionnaire about how I feel about how I feel and act around different people) and also completed two experiment questionnaires online. So my subject pool hours are going to go up. As a psychology undergraduate student I have to do a certain number of hours as a research/experiment participant so that when it comes to my 4th year (which is next year) I am able to find enough participants for the experiment I come up with.

Floreat Pica =  May the magpies flourish.

It's a loose translation, and people say 'there were no magpies or Collingwood in the days of Latin'. Collingwood has a members group called the 'Floreat Pica Society' and the words are in their constitution.

Tattoos are a little sore in the initial stages, but it's worse getting your teeth pulled.

I wish everything was sold through vending machines.  I guess that's why Amazon gets about 80% of my non-food business.

I have yet to catch the internet buying bug but at times I feel the same way.  I do like to see what I am getting physically and touch it before I buy but I rarely if ever need help selecting what I want.  If a purchase requires question and answer session with a rep I bring my wife :green:

I'll go to the store and look at what I want to buy, then go home and buy it for cheaper online. (Plus no sales tax.) I've actually ordered things from amazon online while I'm in a store looking at it.

Yes, I reckon all the newer Nikons have the same USB cablelets :) and are easily to buy online. Wasn't really a big bugger or I wasn't going oinky over it. Just used my older Olympus.. the one I prefer to use most of the time (with yep, a diff. micro-usb cable not fitting the other camera) and thought that the missing cable would bump up sometimes anyway.

It was just a good thing I found it, randomly but luckily, under some magazines/newspapers yesterday evening and decided to post that. Um, sneaky fuckers they appear.. crawling under things and..  :zoinks:

Oh yes.  However, it takes 2 views of each breast because mine are so large.  This technician was very considerate.

One thing I don't like about working a temp power crew for shut downs is being called to fix wiring on shit trailers owned by rat contractors who don't know how to do shit to industry standard. I have been zapped by 120 lighting ckts more than once when knuckle heads have pinched wires under a piece of lighting chassis where it shouldn't be.

I've done the exact same thing myself and it hurts like fuck.

The cables had 60's plastic insulation. Most of it had dried up and just fell off when touched on while there were parts that were still "sweating" off remaining moisture. The original installer had covered the 3-phase in the kind of shrink tubing that was common then. Bad idea. Had to replace all of it.

Yes, plus it was problematic because of very limited access. And the whole wiring looks a mess, regardless of age. The projector is close to 50 years old and some of the wiring was there from the start.

Unfortunately no, not a musical one, just a phone consultant. I went today despite my brain throwing a tantrum about having to deal with a job interview and 3 new students in one day (its arguments ranged from "No, no, no!" to the more articulate "Fuck it, I'm not going."). I didn't get the job because they were looking for someone with full-time availability, but the interview was quite easy and painless, and I'm just happy because this is the most success I've had with my job hunt in a long time.

Lutra, I'm glad you posted this.  I did not mean to mock you when I asked the salivating/lactating question.  I just didn't catch the absurdity of it, my bad.  I was sincere when I said I admired people who are fluent in more than one language.  One of America's great failings is that some of the "White" population haven't even mastered English, much less a second language. 

I'm sorry that I implied that your Dutch words and phrases were inappropriate.  I suppose it's a case of differing senses of humours. 

Hope we're still friendly.

Prince Albert and his family are Lutheran, his father converted from Roman Catholic.  He told his father that he had something to tell him about me, that I was Jewish.  His dad said, "Oh, I thought you were going to say she's Catholic."  "Well, she used to be."  "Used to be is no problem."

To be honest, QV.. I think you're a coward. I just see you following, pretending, catholic style.. and I just.. really really dislike that. Catholic/behind the back style.. um, it suits you maybe, dear queen victoria.. but....

Well, cheers, I say.. make sure you eat well, QV.. for that's really important.. being megalomanic/psychotic you appear to be..

Oh, I respect CBC, Hyke and Odeon.. why you're mentioning them here?

I been after a US army fishtail parka for ages.  My local army/navy surplus
only usually have size L.   They are massive anyway so it looked ridiculous.

I am glad i left my number because they rang to say they had got a M and
i was there in like half an hour and purchased it.   I love it!  I am well happy.

Had to take the wire out the hood and remove the fur, not going to replace
it with the usual fox or wolf fur but am gonna get some better quality fake
fur.  They are issued with this terrible white stuff.

I am going to get some boots next week then i will be set up for winter.
Bring it on!

The ones in our area are dark green with sunny yellow lids. They're council issued. The council still owns them, we get charged in our rates bill for the supply and emptying of such.
I'm just chuffed because I don't have to share with next door anymore (family of 3 who seem to fill up the bin all by themselves, and now there's someone in the complex filling up ALL the bins with crap that doesn't go in them). Every unit has it's own bin now. There was one other  new bin still in the alcove which belongs to either unit 1 or 2 but I can't be stuffed figuring out who will get it. I hope none of the other units steal it though.

I'll be keeping mine in my garage away from yobs, I mean the neighbours, and thier tonnes of "empties".

Now that's just rubbish! :zombiefuck: (excuse the pun lol)

We can use any bags for general rubbish/landfill (which we have a smaller red lidded bin for), but we're not allowed to use plastic bags to dispose of the recycling.
Apparently they have cameras on the collection trucks (with an automated bin lifter thingo, nobody gets out of the truck), so if you put the wrong things in the wrong bin they know. There's a 3 strike system in place where they fine you and take your bins away if you exhaust all 3 chances.

Wow. They're hardcore! :laugh:

We have a blue recycling bin (you get one free from Public Works but can buy extras of various sizes at Home Depot) and then we have a green bin (also from Public Works) which is for compostable goods. My city has a very extensive recycling program. There's not much you can't recycle so our garbage pickup is only every 2 weeks and you're allowed a maximum of four bags.

My football team had another amazing win. Knocked a team from the higher league out of the cup. And we done it with a bunch of 16-18 year olds in the team.

Great times to support Falkirk :green:

Yesterday: I taught one of my students (she works as the receptionist at my work, and I was talking to her before I went home) to work out percentages. At her school, they haven't bothered to teach this; they've just told the students what the buttons on the calculator do.

Today: My dog visited.

During the school holiday's the dinner ladies run a little
holiday club.  I sent the urchin on Monday,  expecting
to receive a phone call half way through the day to pick
him up.  He can be a handful,  and the dinner ladies have
no qualifications for children with special needs.

No phone call came.

Picked him up at three which was the agreed time.  He had
been good as gold  :o  This was partly due to an older boy
called Joe,  who had taken him under his wing.  The dinner
ladies said Joe had been really good with the urchin and showed
him how to use the play station and various other games.

So,  i took him there every day except one, where i took him
on a steam train.   All i have heard all week has been "Joe this"
and "Joe that"  I even had to incorporate 'Joe' into his bedtime
story.

Let me tell you about Joe.  He is 15 yrs old.  He used to attend
urchin's school until he was 11  (it is only an infants and junior
school)  He is partially blind, almost totally deaf, he does speak
but doesn't sound like you or i.  He returns every year to help
the dinner ladies with the out of school club.  He is a real star.
He has been so good with the urchin and i found out that he has
done a letter to his class teacher, Miss Socket, to say what a
good boy he had been (he heard about the trouble he has been in)

I decided to get Joe a little 'thank you' card, and shoved a tenner
inside and left it in urchins bag when i dropped him off this morning.

When i picked him up at 3pm,  Joe's mum came over to me and
said thanks for the card etc and how proud she was of him.  She
said they were trying to get him to pick a career path at his own
school but before today he had no direction.  Joe had told his Mum
when he showed her his card that he has decided he wants to work
with kids with special needs.  Nice one Joe :thumbup:

I gave him a big hug, and those who don't know me might have
thought they saw a tear in my eye.  Obviously,  it was just
something in my eye.  But i felt almost human,  momentarily.

oh btw,  have you heard about the changes regarding royal succession to the throne? i heard on the news that the first born child of the reigning monarch will be next on the throne,  whether it be male or female.  If this had been the case in your reign then your son Edward would have never been King,  but his sister,  Victoria,  aka  the PR would have been crowned Queen.  Interesting.

Having been a wonderful female ruler who far outshone her immediate male predecessors and will outshine an unnamed male successor I agree wholeheartedly with the change.

I'm all verklempt. It has been my experience that the best people who have worked with monkeyboy are teens, and some of them are spectrumy too. There's nothing monkeyboy could throw at them that they couldn't handle and I think a lot of it is because as we grow up we develop preconceived notions of what kids "should" be like at various ages. The younger set just take them for who they are and wherever they're at. The rest of the world could learn a thing or two from them.

End September he was found, hardly conscious, with a heartbeat of 20 a minute. Only one chamber of his heart was still active. Temp pace maker, then pacemaker, then delirium, then complications, including a minor pneumonia. Another pace-maker, lots of research to get medication right. Now he is home. Come Monday he'll hear how his cancer is behaving..... I so hope that 18 months of monthly chemo have cured that completely.

Went to the main  supply house I go to to pay my bill and it was $800 less than I had thought.  Went to the other one right after to dispute what they insisted was my balance only to have them tell me when I got there they had forgotten to apply right around $1000 in credits I had accumulated 8)

See, you won the supply house lottery.  It's less than the big lottery, but the chances of winning are greater.

I just this week started downloaing free books off itunes to read on my ipod. It's awesome, I managed to get some old ones that are out of print but which I've been wanting to read, as well as loads of other ones I wouldn't have bought because I wouldn't have known if I'd like them or not. I've downloaded nearly 200 lol

Exactly! I'm reading a bunch of classics I've never had the time for but always wanted to read. And then some by unknown authors. I figure it's free, can't lose right? Reading Intervention right now. It's a mystery. So far, it's really good. About a 17 year old girl who gets sent to Rehab and the woman who comes to pick her up is a recovering addict herself but when their flight lands, they call the Mum to say everything is well but rehab lady turns up dead and druggie teen chick is MIA.  8)

It won't cover all aspects of violin technique, just how to play in tune. I see a lot of kids who don't play in tune because they lack a proper understanding of basic music theory and of their instrument; this book will address those issues.

I'd like to see a book on cake-eating technique; I would surely learn things that I could never think of on my own.

Me too. Once the ex left this morning I was able to wrap it and although she still can't put weight on it (she keeps trying with her tippy toes but then starts shaking from the pain) she's settling more. She said it feels better with the tensor bandage on it. Slowly but surely. Don't think she'll be back at school this week. Ex disagrees saying she could walk on it yesterday (bs) but there's a big difference between being able to put a tiny bit of weight on it and being at school for 7 hours and trying to get about.

it is where you write 50,000 words in 30 days starting on November 1 and if you finish you get a little 100x100 badge that you can post to let other people know that you wrote 50,000 words that probably shouldn't see the light of day.

That's very cool! I haven't attempted a nanowrimo yet but it's on my list of things to do one year. It's very big in the homeschooling community.

The bolded part - That's exactly the way I feel about writing. But for me, it's stream of consciousness writing. Every day, minimum 3 pages. It's amazing what comes out when you approach writing that way.

There's some "rules" to the journaling (It's from the book The Artists Way) and that is you don't go back and read what you wrote. I do because I highlight my ah-ha moments. No ones thoughts are consistent. They're supposedly called The Morning Pages (you're supposed to do it first thing in the morning) but we nicknamed them The Moaning Pages. :laugh: Sometimes it's all a bunch of blabber and nothing of importance. Other times, things you didn't know you were struggling with, come to the surface and that's where E) comes in. Facing it can be difficult.

Attempting a nanowrimo would induce anxiety in me. I have real trouble getting my thoughts out. Maybe because they are so fast and chaotic and are not in words most of the time. I often write half a sentence and then forget where I was going with it because I have had so many thoughts during the writing of that half-sentence. I don't know if this is a disorder or what but it does affect my writing for uni.

Went to some Autism Awareness training after work today, very enjoyable although to be honest I didn't learn anything. In their defense everyone else there and the target audience seemed to be NTs who want to work with autistics.

I sort of successfully straightened my hair! :orly:

I think it's a bit TOO thick to get it dead straight though. And I think the back of my head wasn't done the best.

 You have awesomely thick hair!  And dead straight is overrated.  8)

Now, seeing how it stays this way. I think my pillow will ruin it all :laugh:

I guess we always want what we dont have. I think your hair is really pretty. I have thin, poker-straight, blonde hair and I think it is boring !

 I have thin, poker-straight BROWN hair.  Ah well, at this age I accept it.   :meditate:

I had a new student who was very pleasant and easy to teach.
Not to be sexist, but adolescent boys are so much less of a pain in the rear than adolescent girls.

Also, I've had a cold.  When I'm sick, my stimming stops.  Starting up again is one of the first signs that I'm getting better. 5 minutes ago, I noticed that my foot was tapping.

 Next time I'm sick, I'll have to try to notice if I still rock while listening to music!  :orly:

 My first visit to the new dentist went better than expected!  First of all, he is the nicest
 dentist I've ever met, friendly and sunny and patient with my questions.  X-rays confirmed
 that my molar is cracked and a root canal is recommended.  The dentist referred me to
 an endodontist for that, someone he assures me will put me at ease and do a good job,
 and he prescribed me antibiotics for the infection I assume has set into the tooth,
 and 800mg Motrin for the pain that I've been bitching about since last week.
 I'm so glad I have a dentist I feel comfortable with.  WIN!  :2thumbsup:

I have this European worship personality.  I imagine that all the towns in Europe have been there since time immemorial, although I know better.  I can't get excited about new places and buildings.  Or people for that matter.

Depends on where in Europe. In Sweden, I think that we don't have many cities older than the 11th century. We do have settlements older than that, of course, but nothing like, say, ancient Egypt or the Roman Empire.

I think that there were people living where Helsinki is for long before the foundation of the city. Quite a few of the kings then simply pointed at existing settlements when founding new cities.

My childhood home (my mum still lives there) is a place called Northfield and is mentioned in the Doomsday Book of 1086  here is it's entry
Quote
William [FitzAnsculf] holds Northfield. Alfwold held it. 6 hides. . . . In the demesne 1 ploughteam. A priest & 7 villeins & 16 bordars & 6 cottars with 13 ploughteams, 5 more ploughteams would be possible. 2 slaves & 1 female slave. Woodland half a league long & 3 furlongs wide. In the time of King Edward it was worth 8 pounds, now 30 shillings.

There is some evidence of bronze and stone age settlers,  and much roman evidence.

 Yeah, my dental insurance will cover about 60% of it, and as for the rest, there is the
 option of a payment plan, interest free for one year.  It's worth it to me to keep the tooth.

Bachelor of Commerce majoring in accounting. It's actually an accounting tailored degree with accounting as a mandatory major.

The course I was doing last time around is no longer offered and my candidature lapsed anyway (haven't been enrolled in anything since 2007 :P)
