Woke up.  Drank some mountain dew.  Answered some posts on aspietrash.  Postwhored some.  Said a whole bunch cute nothings to my kitty.  Considered reading some.  Watched the final scene to V for vendetta 36....37 times now.  Applied some medication to my toe.  Considering eating.

not sure if that is the proper term either.  even though it is a proper term, i just don't see it applying in this case.

Hm, they used a guillotine in in Sweden for the first and last time 1910. Before that, criminals were decapitated with an axe. After 1921, capital punishment in peace time was banned. But isn't she something like a guillotine?

Sweet a place to bitch about my job.  Sweep lobby, stock lobby, mop lobby, take out the trash, wash dishes, sweep the food preparation area, sweep and mop bathrooms,  clean the sinks and take the bathroom trash out, put the dishes away,  sometimes make a burger or two, clean the dish washing area with santizer and take all the grease and food out of the sink, and sometimes cook or make burgers.

Sometimes the dishwashing machine is broken and you have to wash by hand..fun!

Post by: odeon on November 26, 2006, 06:14:02 PM
They'll check that your Vista install is authentic every now and then, and if they find that you're running different hardware than you were when you registered (which you have to do, or the stupid OS will stop working), they might limit what you can do, or just disable the whole thing.

In other words, you register with your specific hardware, graphics card IDs and all, and if they find that the Vista # you registered runs on different hardware later, then that obviously means that you've sold or copied your Vista license.

Which means that the M$ goons will come after you.

They have already done that to me with XP.

I put a 400gig hard drive in early in the summer and they sent me several Notification Area warnings, even an email, all of which I ignored, They told me that I was possibly using pirated software and it was illegal. DUH!  I'm not and I thought they would go away, but I was wrong. Then one day it wouldn't boot at all. I put the drive in another machine and there was no info on the disk. ???

Turns out that the partition that Windows creates during a Win XP install was removed, making the disk un-readable. I was pissed! I should have re-activated my OS, like they suggested, but I just didn't take it that seriously. FOOKIN' Microsoft!

Nothing was wrong with the hardware, but Microsoft effectively cut off my access to their favors, by scrambling the software loaded on the disk. I didn't really lose anything, but some email and about twenty CDs I had ripped that I had to do over. It was a totally fresh install and I still had my old disk as a back up.

I'm kind of spoiled, right now, to the way everything I have is set up, but I do have enough stuff to put together an old machine that I could learn to use it on. It would be a Pentium III, though ( I think it's eight hundred megahertz). Would that work well enough with Debian to get me started learning Linux?

Further improved the evil self-modifying code system I use for my plugins. Now the overhead in size is quite small. One additional code selection for insertion, complete with source location, size of code block and a combination of up to 8 condition flags for inclusion = 1 mov instruction using a memory adress and a 4-byte immediate integer value.

me: 'No, there's no Mr. Bashir here. I think you've got the wrong number'
twat: 'Are you the homeowner?'
me: 'Who wants to know? Is this a sales call? I don't take em'
twat: 'No, its not a sales call. Do you have a mortgage on the property? I'm calling on behalf of ___ Finance, we could save...'
me: 'WHOA! Can I stop you there? Right. This is an ex-directory number. What I'd like you do is take us off your list, go fuck yourself, and never call again. OK? Bye now!'

I've offered bonus insults to telemarketer many times. Fills me with a warm glow every time.

Here, we have a statewide 'No-Call" law and there have been some fines levied on the violators. Just get the name of the company and forward it to the state's attorney general's office and they get the message. We used to to get so many calls ... now the only calls we get are from companies you have done business with in the last six months, and only if you want them, otherwise have them remove your number from their call list and they stop calling.

The one thing Indiana State Legislature has gotten right ...

This doesn't really count as doing something, but today out of sheer boredom I specifically entered lucid dreaming and had a yummy sex dream.  First I bet a guy in an auditorium that I could knock him out in one punch.  And I did and I started walking up the aisle victoriously, with women on each arm, reaching down and fingering them.  And since I was having trouble reaching, i had 8 girls lift another girl(2 on each arm and leg), and I just banged her spread eagle just in front of the doorway out of the auditorium.

I consider the fluidity of the lucid dream the accomplishment.

Removed a slug from the kitchen.

<Hates slugs with a passion.>

They get in through the vents, I think, and we have thousands of them here thanks to the damp climate.

No it was a general "awakening" thing as to how I have been suckered again!  And why I shouldn't give my trust so easily again.

Fool me once, shame on you.....fool me twice, shame on me! :-[

No trust, ever again!.....unless truly earned!   But for those who would rejoice, I'm not leaving...yet.  I'v learned that "shunning" can say things louder than words....and the shunning has started!

what are you talking about?

you have been referring to yourself as old for as long as i can remember.
i have recently been changing alot of diapers, so diaper humour is on my mind, of course.

since you have been referring to yourself as old, a diaper joke would follow logically.
i didn't mean anything by it.  and i thought you could take a joke.  that's all it was.

what do you mean by fool me once or twice.  i have never fooled you or anybody else for that matter.  i am what i am.  and what i am is a person who means no malice.

Have we picked on Ozy, in some way? Most of us annoy each other from time to time, but it passes, usually. We are all somewhat self centered and that will certainly annoy other self centered people. I also see that even the thick skinned people have small chinks in their armour where hooks can hold on and cause pain, at times.

I'm not playing innocent, but I really don't know what has happened.

I think its cos I have an underactive thyroid too...alcohol is processed more slowly or something and I do tend to have large measures lol. They have also bought out a creme caramel baileys or somesuch which is nicer than the choc mint.

No, the fact that I have my mate's joystick is handy in itself.

German Shepherd and some other mix.  Mongrel.  It was an animal shelter dog that had been abandoned 2-3 times as a puppy.  Quite neurotic when first brought home, but has turned into quite the lovable lug of a dog.  I'm his regular "babysitter" as he knows me well enough to come running up to our house when he "escapes" his yard which has an invisble fence.

Cleaned up a lot of vomit.

I have a sick daughter and she goes absolutely apeshit, bug-eyed crazy when she vomits! She can't deal with it at all and runs through the house in total panic, screaming and slinging vomit everywhere as it comes out. I'm usually able to contain it, and her panic, better, but I was on the pot when the last one happened. Oh, devine joy ... the thought of autistic vomit!

My daughter does the same thing when she vomits.  She has gotten better because she at least heads toward the bathroom while she is vomiting and leaves a trail, but getting vomit out of the carpet on the stairs is difficult, even with a good steam cleaner.  She gets gagged on something and vomits easily, even when she is not sick.

If your daughter's vomiting does not stop and she can't keep down oral rehydration fluid so that you become concerned about dehydration, you can call her pediatrician.  There is prescription medication that can help, but you don't want to use it too soon.  I think it is called Phenergan.

We got past the worst of it last night (I haven't slept more than a few hours in two days), but one last time this morning the panic hit. She seems fine, right now, and I'm crossing my fingers, spitting over my shoulder, knocking on wood and doing an Apache spirit dance, just in case.

She tells me I have to get all the feathers out of the house ... ??? ... or this will just keep on happening. I have learned to try to get some meaning from these odd-at-first-glance insights of hers. I have already done a ritual style pillow disembowelment this morning, to prove that it contained only fluff and no feathers, gotten rid of feather dusters, also, in order to set her mind at ease and I've tried my best to prove to her that there are no more feathers in the house. (OCD, maybe?) Everyone of us is a handful ... I don't know how my wife deals with us sometimes.

None that I have noticed.

This feather fear just popped up in the last few days, so, at this point I'm trying to blame a bad dream, the fact she has a "tickle" in her throat, or something from a commercial (television commercials are loaded with contradictory things, which make no sense and can, actually, do harm) she might have seen, by mistake. We don't watch television, but we go into places where she may have seen something on a booob tube, somewhere. I try to be very careful, but I also have to block out all that stuff, myself. I could easily have missed noticing a television going, in some stressful place where we were. Even if I had hustled her past it quickly, she would still have a semi-complete videographic memory of it, which I know of from past experience.
 
We will make out fine, but I'm not sure where we will end up. Right now, I have to go settle an argument, between the two, about whether she has an armoire or a wardrobe.

Post by: DirtDawg on February 01, 2007, 03:45:26 PM
I made them sit at the table, with crayons and paper, and I had each one draw an armoire and a wardrobe to show me the differences. They were both right, because he drew his armoire very fancy and Frenchish, while his wardrobe was colonial (which looked like her real one), so in his mind she has a wardrobe. Hers both looked alike, mostly, (she's younger) but the one she liked most was the armoire, which "resembled her real one", besides she "likes to say armoire". Good enough for me on both counts.

I changed the subject and turned it into an excersize in communication. I'm an Evil father!

That's a very good concept. In our country it's forbidden to do so, though. It's called "crime provocation". Cops can get fired or even jailed, if they do something like that...it's also illegal to put the identities of convicted pedophiles on the internet. The one who does, risks to get on trial him/herself and pay the pedophile compensation for "defamation"... ::)

I'm of two minds here. On one hand, I'm a father and think that "exposing" a pedophile is a good thing. the creeps frequenting chatrooms to predate on young girls (and boys) deserve to be in jail. On the other, I can see the danger--you are, in fact, provoking a crime, not exposing one already committed, which does make you an accomplish, according to the laws of more than one country. I'm also concerned that the "innocent until proven guilty" concept is thrown out of the window. It's entirely possible to frame an innocent person like this, and while his innocence could probably be proven later, his name would already be out there and he would more than likely be convicted in the minds of the public,

I understand your concern, but, these creeps are initiating contact in a chat room, plus the actor playing the "kid' does mention several times that they are underage and asks the creeps if they really want to do this.  The creeps are given ample opportunity to back out.  Plus, no one forces them to show up at the designated house, once there, no one forces them to stay, they are free to leave any time even after confronted with the chat logs.  It's when they leave that they are arrested the cars and the creeps computers are seized and searched.  In the cars are condoms, alchohol, porn, etc.  On the computers is found kiddie porn!  9 times out of 10 they bring booze into the house, which is another crime under US law, furnishing alcohol to underage kids.

But, what gives this show an even more edge of absurdity, is that most of those caught have watched the show, know how it works and even know whats going to happen next.  THEY KNOW, yet they still do this thing.

Also under US law, it is illegal to engage in any kind of lewd act with a minor, that includes computer chat rooms.  These actors are pretending to be minors, but, they are NOT initiating the lewd conduct.  That is made perfectly clear from the start.

I saw that on Dateline, I think.  I could not pull myself away from it.  I could not believe some of the things these creeps were saying online to girls they thought were 13 years old and some of the stuff they brought to her 'house' to meet her.  It made me angry.  Right now, I watch my daughter closely enough on the internet so nothing like this could happen to her, but what happens when she becomes more independent?  A friend installed Net Nanny on his teenage children's computer, but they were outraged when they found out about it.

Nena, was named by my daughter and she spelled "Nena" her way. I'm afraid I'm going to step on Nena. She fits in the palm of my hand with only half her tale flopping over and she's faster than I am, but fearless of my deadly steps. Probably what will happen is that I will step a few pounds of my weight on her paw, she'll scream like a mini-banshee, just as I realize it, I'll stumble and break my leg trying to keep from hurting her. I don't step so lightly, these days. :-\

I stepped on my grandad's dog once, when he was visiting.  It ran under my foot just as it was coming down, and I had to let myself fall to keep from crushing it.  Later that day, the neighbour came around to say the dog was wondering back and forth across the road.  It was smaller than Scruffs, and had gotten out through a gap in the fence.  Stupid suicidal dog.

It was sunny today, and I woke up reasonably early, so I worked in the garden with just a pair of shorts on, planting some chives around the pond, moving some things round, planting a curry plant and sage in pots and sowed some seeds in trays in the greenhouse.  Then I came in and ate stuff while listening to a friend's problems and swapping pics and videos and things with her.

They did a public opinion poll in a Swedish newspaper. It wasn't very scientifically, but it showed that Swedish women prefer the men submissive in all other aspects than in bed. In bed most Swedish women like dominant men.

His view on guns is actually the common one in Sweden. Zer0 and I (he's also pro guns) would be considered psychopaths if we spoke our minds on guns publically.

My father has worked in Islamic countries for over a decade. Lobg before there were many Muslims in Sweden he told me that they will never take logic arguments or back off, when it comes to their religion. And he's certainly not a right winger.

I would say that a "typical" Swedish woman is pretty bitchy and wants a macho guy, but only a "tamed" macho guy. He's not allowed to be macho if she doesn't want him to be macho.

Agree 100%. The "make-the-bad-guy-a-good-guy" "concept" is very well known here in Sweden too. The problem is that 1) a really bad guy can't and won't be "rescued" and 2) what you already mentioned; boredom if she will succeed with it.

Edit: There is, however, a concept called "being clueless". "Uninformed" to those of you that prefer playing nice.

yes, i was making a safe argument.

Dusted and wiped down everything in my room
Cooked hot wings and chili dogs
Took pictures of our flowers outside

Surprisingly, neither hot wings nor hot dog chili give me indigestion. Regular chili gives me such bad heartburn that I ended up going through sleep paralysis a few nights ago. Not fun.

Something like that. But it's hard to resist when they at least let you be King in bed.  :-\

i have always maintained that women have the real power.

that is why i act like such a pig sometimes.  not becuase i really think that way....but just because i am being rebellious.

They actually found out in that research, that most women here despise a man that doesn't act like a pig in bed. They consider that kind of a guy a wimp.
:wanker:

most woman like the man to take the lead in bed
has nothing to do with acting like a pig
u act like that and all u are going to get is woman who have been abused, pluss u then add to there problems

some men know how to make a woman feel like a lady without being an ass hole
its not our falt that confusis some of you

c this is exactly where the no girls like nice guys bull crap comes from
they like guys who are nice people
guys who act nice because they think it will get them layed are another thing (and more common ) they can smell that emotional manipulation from miles away

guys like that know how to act nicer to woman
so many times i have seen my male friends change into a different person when a woman they have there eyes on comes in
and so many times i have had to explain to my female friends that the really sweet guy they like is really a ass
because they get sucked in and blind

they just happen to be jerks as well

Couldn't the answer just be that people all like different things?  There are no perfect people who are going to be able to get anyone they wish into bed no matter how they act.  Some woman will like nice guys, some women will like bastards,some won't know what they want- at the end of the day we're not all the same so no matter how much you feel you know about an issue you're never going to have the definitive answer for what women want from men.

I don't know what the stories were or why some women seemed attracted to you because of/despite these stories, but I wouldn't assume that because they didn't want putting on a pedestal and worshipping that they must have been abused in the past or that they must be otherwise fucked up in the head.
Title: Re: What have you done today?

Yeah. Anyone interested in me must be fucked in the head.

It seems odd though. I'm talking about 4 or 5 girls in my
University gaming club - pretty much all of them. As soon
as these stories went about (one that I know of was that
my landlord pointed a shotgun at me while my psycho ex
and I were sparring - though I suspect that stories of the
bloodstained walls also got around), I got more attention
than I've ever gotten at any other time.

I understand the basic desires when linked in with mate selection, but we aren't just unthinking humping machines.  People are complex creatures- sure you can make generalisations based on what you believe people should want from a good mate but you have to accept that they are just generalisations and not actual truths.     Basically I find some of the generalisations you seem to have been making a little over simplified, and that offends me.  Your suggestion that only those who are somehow fucked up would want to have a relationship with someone that challenges them for instance. Your views on why some people enjoy anal sex- why does it have to be about domination?  Hell you even seem to assume that people are abnormal based on their non-sex related interests-  'im thinking but at this point i can not rember meting a feamale gamer that was not serverly ab normal'

Plus does it not even occur to you for even a second that human sexuality is about far more that just finding a good breeding partner now?  I find it hard to believe that with the choice of birth control available, the acceptability of pre-marital sex, etc, etc that the human psyche will not have adapted away to some extent from only finding attractive signs of suitability for mating.

the girls i have met thro gaming are really weird
i just can not see how girls could get weirder

Anyone who is with me for any length of time
is going to be pretty damned weird. These
girls tended to not be complete sociopaths.
I don't know what could stand me that

Oh, poor thing, did I hurt your feelings? If you want the kid gloves, you really should say so.

I understand the basic desires when linked in with mate selection, but we aren't just unthinking humping machines.
No we are not
but it dose influence our choices
Quote
People are complex creatures- sure you can make generalisations based on what you believe people should want from a good mate but you have to accept that they are just generalisations and not actual truths.   
That’s the whole point of generalizations they are the truth but not the whole truth
Get it yet

Quote
Basically I find some of the generalisations you seem to have been making a little over simplified, and that offends me. 
You have to simplified to make generalizations if I was making a complex statement then there would not be a majority to talk about and that’s where people get different
Get it yet
Quote
Your suggestion that only those who are somehow fucked up would want to have a relationship with someone that challenges them for instance.
WTF where did I say that please enlighten me
Quote
Your views on why some people enjoy anal sex- why does it have to be about domination? 
Anal sex dose not have to be about dominance it just often gives that feeling for the giver at least
This is driven by instinct so I am not going be able to explain it to YOU as YOU don’t believe in them
Quote
Hell you even seem to assume that people are abnormal based on their non-sex related interests-  'im thinking but at this point i can not rember meting a feamale gamer that was not serverly ab normal'
No that was pure fact
I am a female gamer
I have met at least 20 or so
and not a single one was normal
it had nothing to do with them being gamers
they just were

Quote
Plus does it not even occur to you for even a second that human sexuality is about far more that just finding a good breeding partner now?  I find it hard to believe that with the choice of birth control available, the acceptability of pre-marital sex, etc, etc that the human psyche will not have adapted away to some extent from only finding attractive signs of suitability for mating.

*starts banging head ageist desk*

of course some of it is nurture or nature of the indivigal person
never said other wise
but every one has instincts

case in point
they have found woman on birth control when choosing partners have a much higher instance of choosing partners that have genetic abnormalities that mirror there owen
almost garenting there children will have it
woman not on birth control chose men that do not

This is because woman can smell these things and birth control fucks up that balance
Don’t know about other woman but I don’t do this on porpus

First of all I understand what a generalisation is- however people commonly generalise that all women want bastards something you've disputed-  so you obviously only agree with generalisation of the way people behave when it backs up your argument. Personally I don't like to put people into categories like that- from the way you write most people would generalise that you're of low intelligence, but imo to generalise like that would be wrong.

Second- I didn't once say that I didn't believe in instincts- I do however believe these are more complex than you believe (yes I got at from the start that you were simplifying) and that you're just limiting your comments on these based on which ones will back up your argument.

Third- would you seriously consider your experience of knowing 20 female gamers enough to claim that they're generally screwed up?  Is 20 people enough to make your claims fact??


Edited to add quote:This is where I thought you were saying only fucked up woman would want a man who challenges them:

Ok so what quality would you say goes along with this 'bastardly behaviour' that makes women attracted to men who behave like that but isn't actually bastardly behaviour?

I thought you were saying that men hide their bad side from the women they want to sleep with because they really want nice guys.

I thought you were saying that men hide their bad side from the women they want to sleep with because they really want nice guys.

it is mostly confidence,
also they way they interact with other people
the little instinct part of a womans brain wants strong leaders
you don’t have to be a bastard to be one of them
bastards just act like there in control of every one
because they don’t care if they are not the top dog they will pretend
and men do modify there behavior around potential mates
they do not become "nice guys" they just don't treet the woman like they treet other men so they often do not come off as jerks to a woman will they will to her male friends

YOU do relise that there is a medium between jurk and nice guy right?

No it dose not it just proves that YOU don’t understand I will give u an example of both and lets see if you can figger it out

Generalization = woman are sexually attracted to men

Predjuce= because you are a woman you must be attracted to men

If I say in my experience I am talking about my limited experience other wise I am talking about valid studies

And on the supposed reaction to what you said to me I did not address that point
 I just don’t need to

Yes and that was partly the point I was making when I first posted on this thread about the subject.  That people are attracted to such a wide range of behaviours/types of people its not accurate to generalise.

Why is it I feel like I'm beating a dead horse with a semantics stick?? ::)


I agree that sometimes woman who have been abused will seek out other abusive relationships, but I don't agree that's always the case. I guess it all comes down to individual beliefs about how you define an abusive relationship.  Many people would count people who engage in BDSM activities as being in an abusive relationship, whilst the people involved in those kind of relationships would take offence at that.

What does your rain collection system compose of?

Pretty much, large plastic garbage cans and 5 gallon plastic buckets.  All sitting under the eaves of our metal roof to collect what streams off.  Pretty low tech.  When I use the water, I just dip a bunch of watering cans in and water the specific plants at their bases.  If I use my hose the water from the well is cold (about 50 F) and it costs in electricity.  The water in the garbage cans is warmer.  We have a small garden so unless we get really dry conditions for a long time.  My system can store about 3-5 days of watering, watering every other or every third day.

So far- made breakfast for the kids, got them off to school, post-whored some, took the dog for a walk, painted with the little one, did some washing, made breakfast for those still at home, post-whored some more, made lunch, post-whored more whilst eating it. A fairly dull but typical day.

Mine was unscathed.  I've never been able to sunbathe in private before because of all the overlooking windows, but there's now a spot in the garden that's shielded on all sides and decently sunny.

You're lucky, I'm surrounded and even in summer I don't have a private place, that is sunny. We are just getting leaves on the trees and I'm a little bummed, still, from having to cut back so many things, so drastically, this year. I'll be lucky to have a shady, blanket spot with privacy, this year.

Is there room for a hot tub?

Stood in line, waited in a chair, sniffed the body odor of about forty five people, listened to over a dozen babies crying, watched a new mom overburp a baby and wear the results, smelled that, caught a cancerous old woman who had fallen asleep and was toppling out of her chair (I didn't want to hear her cry, too), stood in a shorter line, paid the pretty lady (enjoyed that part) and was rewarded a renewed car registration. I'm a little OD'ed on Life.

GOod idea. My garden can't be private enough for me. We moved here in the falll, but the house belonged my wife's mother before we got marriied. I've actually been gardening here for twelve years. It's just too small to do much with. The house we gave up, because it was too expensive after I lost my job, I had only been gardening in for seven years, but the grounds were huge and I had done the wholle back yard in "rooms" wiith privacy.

There were natural dividing lines like slight rises in the elevation of the soil, which I enhanced with shrubbbery to create even more pronounced lines. I was very "proud" of that garden, but it was my secret. Only a mininimum of effort was visible from the street and the whole backyard was my secret sanctuary. I miss it, already.

We pay tax every year for our cars. The license tag, that indentifies every legal car, expires every year and must be "registered" again. It cost me one hundred fifty seven dollars for my two cars. It decreases every year as the car ages. New cars are very expensive to register in Indiana.

Renewing the registration is relatively simple compared to buying a car and get it registered to you for the first time. It's all very legal.

Your daughter is lucky.
I was actually enjoying her company, once my daughter (and I) had identified all the hideously invasive sensations of being in a concrete block building with a metal roof and sixty or seventy people rattling stuff and talking over each other, and began to relax. I was OK-ish, but I was making loud teeth-grinding noises and clenching my fists and she had reverted to one of her characters, by the time we left.
Their website states the average processing time per patron is twenty four minutes, but ours was three times that.

The line was probably longer than usual because it was the first day of the month.  The first and last days of the months tend to be more crowded.  It only cost me $27 to renew my registration for my car and $25 to have it inspected.  My car is a 1995 Honda, though.

Stood in line, waited in a chair, sniffed the body odor of about forty five people, listened to over a dozen babies crying, watched a new mom overburp a baby and wear the results, smelled that, caught a cancerous old woman who had fallen asleep and was toppling out of her chair (I didn't want to hear her cry, too), stood in a shorter line, paid the pretty lady (enjoyed that part) and was rewarded a renewed car registration. I'm a little OD'ed on Life.

(I can't believe the fucking typos I made)

That is almost exactly what I did yesterday, but I had to get my car inspected first.

It took me over an hour and I had a six year old autie, having a rough day, in-tow. She was making several people laugh by intelligently questioning the complexity of the process. She severely ripped apart the whole stand-in-line-for-your-chance-to-tell-them-you-will-sit-in-a-chair-and-wait routine, in a very cute, but impatient way. Entertaining her questions was really the only thing that saved me.



I did it while my daughter was in school, thank goodness.  We take a number at the car registration place, then we can sit in a chair or whatever, but we have to listen closely for our number or they will skip over us.

What is that renewed car registration thing?  ???

We pay tax every year for our cars. The license tag, that indentifies every legal car, expires every year and must be "registered" again. It cost me one hundred fifty seven dollars for my two cars. It decreases every year as the car ages. New cars are very expensive to register in Indiana.

Renewing the registration is relatively simple compared to buying a car and get it registered to you for the first time. It's all very legal.

We have car tax as well (of course), but we don't have to go to some office to get a renewed tag; we get it by mail, after car inspection. The tag itself costs nothing. And buying a new car is also a very simple process in Sweden. And it even seems that our car inspection is simpler than yours; nowadays they send out a time for inspection automatically, and if you aren't satisfied with it, you can simply change it on phone or even easier on the internet.

Hm, I've discovered one thing that actually is simpler in Sweden than in the US.  ???

In NJ, the registration fee was something

cars for sale for less than it cost to register
them.

We pay tax, insurance and car inspection. Car inspection costs about $40, and it's one time a year. For my Volvo 850 from 1995 I pay about $550 a year in insurance. The tax is about $300.

Your daughter is lucky.
I was actually enjoying her company, once my daughter (and I) had identified all the hideously invasive sensations of being in a concrete block building with a metal roof and sixty or seventy people rattling stuff and talking over each other, and began to relax. I was OK-ish, but I was making loud teeth-grinding noises and clenching my fists and she had reverted to one of her characters, by the time we left.
Their website states the average processing time per patron is twenty four minutes, but ours was three times that.
 :grrr:

The line was probably longer than usual because it was the first day of the month.  The first and last days of the months tend to be more crowded.  It only cost me $27 to renew my registration for my car and $25 to have it inspected.  My car is a 1995 Honda, though.

I had not thought of that, but you are right. I had no choice, though. April is the month with the most expenses, for us. Coincidentally, the mortgage company had re-assessed the escrow part of our house payment, this month, plus I had to buy a mower. It is a sad state of affairs that a man of my age, means and abilities is affected by a couple hundred dollars of unexpected expenses, but in our situation there are times when a couple of hundred dollars makes a big difference in our budget.
I had missed the mail-in deadline and had to suffer the lines at the branch office.

Normally I mail the registration advisor in also, but this time was odd.
Indiana does not have a required vehicle inspection prior to registration. However, if you are stopped for a traffic vioaltion, the officer will do a purfunctory inspection of your vehicle and likely add other violations to the charges he stopped you for.

I saw them a few years ago at a pissy smelling dive in Louisville. I was saddened to see one of my favorites reduced to that state, but their popularity had diminished a great deal, by that time. They were spectacular, in performance, but the venue was puke-worthy. They actually did "Imaginos" as a cohesive opera, complete with a change of costuming and stage set-up, the way it was written, instead of the way Columbia hacked it up and re-arranged it into a regular album. It was really good. To me the biggest problem with "Imaginos" is the ridiculous, tinny, low-res, back-alley studio sound the record company produced for it. I have always been more impressed with their live sound, but capturing that on disk, for playback through a boombox is impossible.

New cars are inspection free for two or three years in Sweden. Then you have to inspect them once every year. Cars older than 25 years (or 30, I'm not sure if they've changed the law) don't need an inspection and just a nominally tax, if you drive less than 1000 Swedish miles (about 6000 English miles) a year with them.

No, Albert Bouchard was there, but Joe Bouchard was gone. Bloom and Roeser were near their peaks. It was a great show. I can't remember if Lanier was with them then or not.

They check out the car for rust on crucial parts, how well the breaks work, if all lights work correctly and if the exhaust fumes contain too much carbonmonoxide, carbohydrogens, etc.

Many states do a similar inspection, but others, like Indiana, don't bother. However, new cars must meet the new exhaust emmissions specifications (not sure the specifics) and real new cars are not a problem.

If you build your own car, like some of my hotrodder "friends" do, it will have to be tested and certified privately, before it can have a title issued or be licensed to take the streets. The only way around that is to use major parts previously titled from an older car. That is fine for someone restoring a classic, but if you are building a "T" bucket from scratch, you must be certified to current federal emissions standards.

According to Scrap, I could get 39 more horsepowers for my Volvo 850 simply by re-programming the fuel injection chip with a PC. My father knows a guy who can do these kind of things; he's even been allowed to drive some of the King's old veteran cars, but my father is afraid that I will get in trouble with the authorities. That's the problem with the Swedish mentality in a nut shell ; my father wasn't afraid to dare those scums who tried to rob him, but he has too much respect for authorities.  :-\

With 39 more horsepowers, I would have 183 horsepowers (DIN) in a 12 year old 5 cylinder Volvo with a 2.5 liter 10 valve engine. That wouldn't be bad.  :P

Thank you, that was sweet.

What bothered me was I thought the leader was my friend and she offered to do "private meetings" for my daughter and she talked about the Girl Scouts starting a new troop of all girls with "disabilities".  I would be perfectly happy with having my daughter belong to a troop with other "disabled" girls, regardless of their "disabilities", but how does this teach tolerance to the little girls in their non-diversified troops?  Maybe they would want to remove all the girls who are different from them in any way and place them in their own troops?

I thanked her for her kind offer because I know she meant well, but I declined and removed my daughter from Girl Scouts.

As I mentioned, I have an higher IQ than my chief doctor psych (me admits it himself). Nonetheless, I was earlier "offered" to be bunched together with mentally retarded, because I'm also "disabled".  ::) I declined that insulting suggest, of course.

If there are any true friends outside your closest family, they're just an exception. Alas.  :(

There you see what female emancipation has done to damage things in the world. I read about Runeberg's opinions of womens' "rights"; he once said: "If a woman's husband tells her that that yellow wall is black, she'll better agree with it." A real man of the old kind, like my grandpa.  8)

I called Animal Control. We had a lost beaver in our yard just now. We are six blocks from the river and this poor guy had apparently dodged traffic all morning. He was obviously exhausted and needed water. Animal Control team was here in less than ten minutes and within five more they had safely captured him and he was on his way back to the river.

I have seen deer in our backyard at times, but that was the first beaver we've had in the yard.

I don't go to movie theaters much anymore because it costs more to see a new release when you can rent them for cheaper when they come out to DVD. I never had issues with other people though except for some stinkers throwing pieces at me back in Montana when I was seeing a movie with my brothers and their friends. I had to move up to the front to sit with them to get those kids to stop throwing things at me. Turns out they were doing it to other people too instead of just to me because one of my school mates was there too seeing the movie and she was also hit with things too. I had taken the whole thing personal until she told me.

Did my nails, laundry, groceries, housecleaning, and went out for a walk (a bit under two miles, round trip).  Also bought and ate grapes that were on sale that turned out to be rather sucky (perhaps not ripe enough).  Very exciting.

I saw a doctor at CARD this morning about my diagnosis and got meeting times for an Adult Asperger's meeting in my area that meets once a month.   Right now I am at work until 5pm when I will go somewhere and get stoned, maybe get my haircut and eat dinner.   

get your hair cut before you get stoned.  i can see potential disaster, otherwise.  ;)

Done it many times, I will probably have to get my hair cut first this time before driving to the beaches to pick up some bud.   It really doesn't matter as lately I get the same haircut every time and it is hard to fuck up.

Mine have gotten really good at "helping others by donating" things. It seems there is always some friend worse off than we are for the kids to identify with and help by giving them some special toy (one at a time - you don't want to piss off the other kid's parents) that they have outgrown.

I make a big stack if stuff to donate and, obviously some of it is junk, so I separate the good stuff  to actually donate to Goodwill, Salvation Army or displaced family relief drives while the remainder goes to the garbage. We donated over one hundred kid books to the library last month along with a lawn-sized garbage bag of toys from their rooms, which went to Goodwill. Getting rid of a piles that big streamlines the daily clean-up quite a bit.

So, she is learning to associate a monetary value with her "old stuff". That is actually a very good idea, too, once they are old enough to comprehend. With both of mine, the concept of giving up something, which they already owned, was like a mountain in the path, even when they saw me (and helped) ebay my old stereo stuff and video tapes, ship them off and get NEW stuff for a DVD surround system. They loved the results, but did not understand how it worked on that scale. We're just not that far along, yet.

I found that appealing to their instinctive nature to nurture has at least gotten us past the first mountain. We are actually unloading some things that are still usable to someone else.
Neither of my kids play with toys in the traditional way, either - they just line them up, mostly, so their older toys often are not damaged at all. Very atypical also is the fact that they do not destroy books, like most other kids, do, so we have lots of ways to work this plan into being as they grow more.

Both my wife and myself have always been involved in volunteering for various things, meals on wheels, food pantry, etc.  So Amber has been exposed to the idea of contributing to those less fortunate since day one.  Plus, she's exhibited a nurturing nature most of her life, it's only lately that it's begun to focus on various things.  My wife, who is the CFO of the house, also regularly donates money to several charities that have earned our trust.  Involving Amber with the process, both as financial instruction and example.

Somebody at the local library made an excellent suggestion yesterday, when I brought Amber's used books there.  Holding a special yard sale for kids to sell their unwanted items in the local park.  It would be a kids only affair, with adults just supervising or providing snacks and drinks and just making it a fun and educational experience for the kids.

Obviously not something for younger kids or ones that can't grasp the concept of getting rid of stuff.  But, it wouldn't hurt to expose them to something like that on a smaller scale.  It would depend upon the individual kid.

That seems to be when I get my least bad sleep an all mate.  :-\

Got up at stupid o'clock to take PI and the sprogs to Liverpool John Lennon Airport. Drove seventy miles to said airport to an accompanying chorus of whinging, fighting and manic giggling. Helped PI through check-in and did crowd control until it was time for them to go through security and wait to board their flight. Felt slightly sad to see the back of the noisy buggers.

Took scenic route home through the Ribble valley so I could stop for a first rate pint of beer in Gisburn and an equally first rate burger (two quality 4oz all-beef patties with cheese and onions and a slab of black pudding on top in a big teacake. :dance: ) from Dick Turpin's lay-by cafe. Well worth going out of my way for. Felt much more cheerful.  8)

Went to Morrisons at Skipton on the way home and stocked up on bachelor chow and beer. Put it away. Had afternoon snooze on couch.

Cleaned, patched and re-set our above ground pool. It's filling with water at this moment. My daughter was actually interested in food this morning, so I made (her favorite) crepes for breakfast, salmon is for lunch. I have some yardwork yet to do.

Been all over the area this afternoon with my neighbour hunting for a suitable back door. Killed four hours anyway, and she gave me some petrol money, beer money and bought fish and chips for my help.  8)

Time to chill now.

Went to my guitar lessons, finished setting up Amber's camping supplies and equipment, packed it into the car, had the generator serviced, finally ate lunch after my stomach threatened to devour my spine.  (don't ask),  went shopping and withdrew some cash from the bank for the trip.  Now sitting here trying to get the energy to get off and get the laundry done!

:rofl:

A real back door. She has a 'stable door' which splits so the top can be opened while leaving the bottom half shut, and wanted another cos it has swollen with the rain over the past couple of winters and is now too fucked to open. After much pissing about we found a door place near the city centre which had exactly what was needed, in stock, and did us a deal for about half the price others were quoting to order in, while a lovely Sikh lass buttered us up and forced cappucinos on us. Yay for good customer service.

Went to DMV to take my written test but couldn't because I didn't have one other thing to prove my US resident. I either needed to use my passport or my social security number card.

Drove my car and went to Hollywood video and looked at the games there, went to Goodwill and looked around there, called Nintendo and complained about the mags not coming to me for some reason so it was my second time calling them to tell them my August issue never came. Last time it was my July issue that never came and it came after I told them I never got it so they sent it out and I got it.

Oh and I stopped at work to get my cell phone I left in my locker last night.

Almost finished up these behemoth low frequency enclosures for my friend's band. They are a relatively simple version of an old cabinet style, but I have a couple of tricks that make the ancient, sixth order design perform much more smoothly. These are going to kick some major ass! Heavy as hell, though.

I would have been done sooner, if I had more pipe clamps.

Maybe. They did a blood test and I have to do a sleep study over the weekend with an oximeter to make sure it actually is obstructive sleep apnoea first, since they thought the lack of time I have available to sleep and that I drink a huge *cough* amount of beer may be factors in my sleepiness - despite the fact that the reason I'm fucking wiped out all the time is because the sleep I do get is broken and shit.  ::) He said 'if I got five hours sleep and drank four or five beers most nights, and had to get up to three active children I'd be on my knees'... lightweight :P

Went to a nude beach, I went bottomless there and then topless when it got warmer out. Got Simpsons season 10 at Bestbuy and a memory card reader so I can download pics on my PC from my camera without having to borrow my aunt's camera cord. Now my friend and I are watching Vision Quest, another Spokane movie.

Been for a hospital appointment about my sleep disorder; the rest is a blur of feral children.  :yawn:

Are they talking about a CPAP machine for you?

Maybe. They did a blood test and I have to do a sleep study over the weekend with an oximeter to make sure it actually is obstructive sleep apnoea first, since they thought the lack of time I have available to sleep and that I drink a huge *cough* amount of beer may be factors in my sleepiness - despite the fact that the reason I'm fucking wiped out all the time is because the sleep I do get is broken and shit.  ::) He said 'if I got five hours sleep and drank four or five beers most nights, and had to get up to three active children I'd be on my knees'... lightweight :P

I did all that, sleeping with all the shit they put on you isn't easy only to find out I don't need a CPAP.  Then they said sorry we can't help you  >:(

I got stuff ready to sell and packed my truck for the flea market tomorrow. Have to get up at 3:30am

My brother did all that sleep study stuff too, but he did need a CPAP machine.

If they can't help you, what can you do?  Have you already tried those stick-on nasal snore strips?

Well not a lot.  I found out on my own experimenting with my meds if I take a klonopin  at about 5 I can sleep by ten or elven. The nasal strips didn't help much

We have lots of snow days when the schools close.
They would rather start early and get out early, if they don't use them, than to get out late if we have a bad winter.

Going to clean my house again, fairy mom's old room has dried flowers, blunt packages, stacker weightloss supplements, and clothes all over the floor.  Another example of how just because someone is attractive does not mean  they are perfectly fuctional. fairy sucks, trapped indoors, can't go out and make people happy, can't even play video games or jack off.

Today.. Exercised two times already before eating, and studied like I do every morning.  I am reviewing my notes from the psych book. Its so out of date, and sucks ass.  Something complex would keep my attention, and that algerbra class was also boring.  They should have put me back in the acclerated/ honors class.  Sorry to say, but I have to be honest, those stupid people bored me even more as the class was already slow.

Got home after ten. I was gone all night with another guy as friends. We watched Oliver and Company and I was on here and then on WP and he was oblivious to what they were about. I also showed him some other sites I'm on and then we slept but had a poor nights sleep due to not being in my own bed. Another  :asthing: lol?

Worked on my current novel- 600 words today!  not a lot, but I'd been neglecting it completely.  Hopefully I'm starting to stabilize a bit from having moved.

Also completed my school's insurance waiver, which I hoe goes through OK, but that tends to be iffy.  My school isn't too swift about having correctly-filled-out paperwork translate into everything in my file "officially" being in order.

Went to the music store for some cabling, and Radioshack for some crimp connectors. I spliced a new connector onto my guitar amps speaker cable and got no sound out of it. Then I got a 9V battery and tested the speaker. It was blown, so I replaced it with a spare that I had. --Now everything functions as it should.

Not jacked off, too busy!

High and a low intensity aerobics, stretching, studying.

47 alfalfa pills, that is 30grams of alfalfa, and That is equal to 120 grams of seed.  Alfalfa is nutrient dense and its nutrients are easily assimilated.  Its an adaptogen, like ginseng.  I noticed it alright.   Damn if my food is low, I sure will be at least well fed thanks to that alfalfa. Actually 30 grams of alfalfa is equal to 240 grams of undried vegetable.  That is not very much, but its nutrient dense.

Of course there is.  You have to defend your dissertation in front of the committee.

You didn't know this?  You don't plan to get a Ph D, do you?

I would hope if I wrote a dissertation it would stand on its own merits. It depends what route I take, whether or not I get a Ph D.

This is the basic procedure, although yours may be a little different:

Quote
A Candidate's Guide to the PhD Oral Exam

Who, Where, When?

--about 8 weeks after submitting your dissertation, your oral defense of it will be set up and will take place in one of the School of Graduate Studies' examination rooms
--the examining committee consists of: the external examiner (usually represented only by a report, but occasionally present either in person or by phone), your supervisor, your committee members, possibly another faculty member from the university
--you will receive in advance a copy of the external examiner's report, so that you can prepare your response
--the exam will be chaired by a faculty member from another department representing the School of Graduate Studies; this person is there to assure that all proper procedures are followed but does not take part in the questioning
--the exam will last about 2 hours, with one or two rounds of questions from each examiner
--bring a copy of your dissertation, some paper, a pen (water will be provided)


The Drill

-this is an academic "rite of passage" and has sufficient ceremony to feel like one
-you will enter the room, be introduced to all the committee, and then be asked to leave, so that the committee can check that all the requirements to degree have been satisfied, and agree on order of questioning, amount of time per question, etc.
-you will wait outside the room (calmly) until asked to enter again; you might practice your opening remarks (see below)
-the chair will then ask your supervisor to begin the questioning.

[It is assumed that the supervisor has, in fact, already asked you all the pertinent questions, so his/her job at the exam is really to ask you: "How did you get interested in your topic? What do you feel you have contributed to scholarship on it? Where would you go from here?"--or some variant on this. You and your supervisor will have talked about this beforehand and you will have prepared a response of no more than 20 minutes. You should bring notes, but plan to "talk" rather than "read" this response. Don't repeat your thesis in detail--since everyone has read it--but try to summarize your contribution succinctly. The main purpose of these introductory remarks is to loosen you up and get you talking. Think of it as a chance to address some (not all) of the external examiner's questions or any issues you feel are unresolved at the end of the thesis. You might also think of it as a seminar on your thesis, and enjoy it--this may be the first and last time you find 5 people who have read your work carefully and are totally engaged in it!]
-after the initial remarks, the external examiner will begin the real questioning, usually taking a bit longer time than the others (perhaps 20 minutes)
-other examiners will follow
-their questions may range from the particular ("on page 341 you say...") to the general ("why did you use Foucault's theories here?"), and may reveal more about the particular interests of the examiners than you expect.
[It's hard to predict what sort of questions you will get, so the best preparation is to have reread the thesis carefully, reread any primary texts that are relevant, and get a good night's sleep before. Being well rested and alert will help you think on your feet best.]
-after the first round of questions, another may follow. This is a neutral sign--i.e., neither good nor bad. It just means that people have lots of things to say.
-questioners may interrupt each other and a real "discussion" sometimes ensues.
[Remember, YOU are the expert on your thesis topic and so you should have faith in that knowledge. It's ok to say you don't know the answer to a question, if you genuinely don't, but do say that you'd like to think about the issue with more time and less pressure and thank the questioner for the "excellent question." In general, don't be defensive, even though this is called a defense. Treat each question with the seriousness it deserves and respond always to the actual substance and never the tone of the question. Always attempt to bring the discussion (should it wander) back to your dissertation, where you should feel more comfortable. Be forthcoming and not reticent in answering: don't make them "drag" the responses out of you.]
-when the chair senses that questions are over, you will be asked to leave the room once again
-in your absence a discussion will take place on the acceptability of both the oral defense and the written disseration; a vote will be taken on whether the work is acceptable "as is"; with "minor modifications" (typos, or minor changes that take less than one month to make); with "major modifications" (in this case a sub-committee is struck and you have three months to resubmit a revised dissertation).
-you will be called back into the room and told the (good, we hope) news
-you will then sign some papers in the graduate office
-then we can all celebrate with you!

Went to the school event.  In good ol' Serissa fashion, I didn't talk to anyone under thirty, but did take the opportunity to catch up on a tiny bit of gossip about my thesis mentor getting canned (after I broke the ice by bitching about Sodhexo's chokehold on the food at our campus events).  Further, I perked right the fuck up when internships on campus in my field of interest were mentioned, and I thought to myself,  "I know it's a couple years in the future, but I'd like to start kissing ass on that one ASAP."  Lo and behold, I may have discovered a way to start doing this NOW.  And a way to kill time if when I don't get the assistanceship I'm hoping to don't expect to get.  OK, fine, so I left too early to take home anything left over from the Sodhexo feast as I'd been planning to do, but the evening was quite far from a tiotal loss.

Work then class today. Fun stuff.  Got to hang out with my friend after class and smoke a couple of bowls.  Blah gasoline.  No time for entertainment really, just going to bed for class this morning.   Lack of sleep made up for on the weekend.

I went to a parents autism group. I am not a parent but they seem to appreciate my input. Booked my car in for a service on Monday.
Forgot to take afternoon medication and after a solid day of socialising, I am going to have a bit of a sleep.

So did I! Not again though. It was the first time in about two years. Is yours to monitor medication levels? Mine was to test sugar level, kidney function and thyroid function. I have been having trouble in the mornings, I have to eat within 20 minutes of waking up or I start feeling awful.

I bought cards for Father's Day and for my sister's birthday. I also bought a book, The Subtle Knife by Phillip Pullman.

Took GA to his job agency to get his resume updated. Went and saw my LAC and she made an appointment for me to go and see a careers counsellor. She made the appointment herself, I think she realised if she gave me the phone number, I would have lost it or just not rung them.

JEEZUZ, Dunc! Busy day.

I'll bet the hands-on museum exhibit was fun! We have The Chidren's Museum, which is mostly hands-on and we love it, but it's a little pricey. We usually spend forty five bucks or more per visit.

I'm planning to fill up a huge bag of plants, bulbs, roots and seeds for my mom to take home when she leaves tomorrow.

We're lucky that the museum's round here are generally free entry.  I took Caitlin to IMAX- we were supposed to be seeing Underwater 3D but there was a mix up with the times on the website when I booked, so we ended up seeing Dinosaurs alive 3D which was pretty cool.   We then went round the national media museum (http://www.nationalmediamuseum.org.uk/)  and then had tea out on our way home.  She had a great day, she was really in need of some one on one time with me.

Nope, it is.  The people who set up and service our computer are very good.  BUT, what should have been a 1-2 hour memory upgrade and deletion took 2 days.  Consumer Reports and our Computer service people have nothing good to say about Symantec.  Since we got rid of it, our computer has been working much faster and better. :green:  AND, the new security system we got is garuanteed by the service people.  They WILL NOT do the same for Symantec.

Symantec leaves traces of itself, behind.
The problem is that to get it all out, you must edit the registry, even if you let Windows do the install and un-install itself. I use AVG now, too. I like it for many reasons, but I am most impressed by its ability to do a full system scan "in the background" with very little impact on resources. When Norton works, it hogs the box.

symantec's not that hard to wipe out if you know where it leaves its marks. the registry is one place, and the most important one, but you also have to look for symantec maps and leftover files in documents and settings, for each user.

i use clam av on my windows boxes but it's a bit on the slow side. it's much better in linux.

it's never easy. most users still save their documents and private stuff in something called "my documents", without a clue on where that actually is. when the hdd crashes, they found out that, well, it was next to windows and utterly lost.

why pooter manufacturers such as dell (not that i'm outing THEM because one of their stupid preinstalled hdd crashed on me the other day and i've spent two fucking days trying to rescue ANYTHING; i'm not, cos i'm not that vindictive) still insist on a single, huge, partition is beyond me.

That is the advantage with it, but then you have to mess around redirecting everything to save there, especially given most applications save to my documents. It just ended up as a dumping ground for applications and ripped DVD's. I hate having to organise stuff on my PC.

hadron, did it ever occur to you that doing it my way, you can save lots of money? most companies do daily/nightly backups, at best, so if a disk crashes late one afternoon, before a backup, say, you lose a day's work. that costs a LOT more than having a separate work partition on your pooter and changing ONE variable, ONE time.

i guess what i'm really asking is why it never occured to you that 25+ years of pooter experience can amount to something.

Any wise company would use a RAID array and would not be in such a situation. Your method does not anywhere near secure the computer from a head crash, it just reduces the risk of data loss. But it does have an effect yes

As for your experience, it counts for less in the ICT industry than it would in another one, simply because of the sheer rate of change. Its one of the few places where a skilled young blood can play on the level of an experienced professional. Thats sort of what I like about computers, there is always something new, everyday.

hadron, did it ever occur to you that doing it my way, you can save lots of money? most companies do daily/nightly backups, at best, so if a disk crashes late one afternoon, before a backup, say, you lose a day's work. that costs a LOT more than having a separate work partition on your pooter and changing ONE variable, ONE time.

i guess what i'm really asking is why it never occured to you that 25+ years of pooter experience can amount to something.
Any wise company would use a RAID array and would not be in such a situation. Your method does not anywhere near secure the computer from a head crash, it just reduces the risk of data loss. But it does have an effect yes

As for your experience, it counts for less in the ICT industry than it would in another one, simply because of the sheer rate of change. Its one of the few places where a skilled young blood can play on the level of an experienced professional. Thats sort of what I like about computers, there is always something new, everyday.

Nice talking out your ass there.  How about you listen to someone who actually WORKS in the industry.   ::)

Few if any companies go to the length of setting up RAID arrays on desktops for reasons of time, maintenance, and/or money.  I've seen odeon's hypothetical occur too many times because of it.

Finally, there is a built-in tool in modern versions of windows that allows you to repoint almost all the "default" locations.  No direct editing of the registry required.  But then, you're such a new up-to-date hotshot, you must be aware of that already, right?   :wanker:

Retrieved our computer from the shop after having the memory increased, deleted Symantec and Weatherbug and installed a new security system.  Planning our trip to southern NH to visit one of my oldest and only friend from the high school from hell.
i thought that deleting symantic was impossible.
Symantec leaves traces of itself, behind.
The problem is that to get it all out, you must edit the registry, even if you let Windows do the install and un-install itself. I use AVG now, too. I like it for many reasons, but I am most impressed by its ability to do a full system scan "in the background" with very little impact on resources. When Norton works, it hogs the box.

The computer tech people scanned every file, which is why our computer took longer to get done than promised.  The tech person did warn us about symantec's deep "roots".  So hopefully it is out.  We now use AVG as well.  The tech people garuantee their work when customers use AVG.  They will NOT do that if customers insist on symantec.  Anyway time will tell!   So far so good, visiting forums is much faster and I'm not as frustrated with stuff as I was.  YAY

Went through something that was so nutty it was like it was out of a sitcom.  I seriously thought I was going to die.

A friend of mine and I were in her house (which is sort of divided into a duplex she shares with her dad), and we were looking at soundboards on ebaumsworld.  Suddenly, she notices that her dogs are barking, and gets up and walks into the other room to check something, then fucking RUNS out of that room, past me, out her front door, and into her dad's half of the house- leaving her front door open.  Freaky enough, but there's more, but first, to understand why the rest of this is really scary, you have to understand that she lives in a sort of bad neighborhood, and that people have tried to attack her and her dad before, AND that the police won't help her dad because he's been in trouble with the law in the past.  OK, back to this afternoon- I am of course wondering what's making the dogs bark, but figure I'd get in the way if I tried to figure out what was going on, AND I figured if a home invader or the cops were making the dogs bark, it would be best if I appeared completely uninvolved and clueless, plus I figured she's tell me if there was danger (even if just to say, run).  (Appeared clueless, btw- ha!  I was!)  At any rate, I didn't want to shut the front door in case she had to come back in and I'd locked her out of her own house, so I sat still and left it open (the screen door was shut, so her pets couldn't get out, but any human could get in.)  OK, so, I hear her screaming at her dad to wake up (and I start wondering if he's sick).  THEN I hear sirens in the background.  THEN, a car pulls up the street and this guy goes onto their porch and knocks on her dad's door.  (Whoever was making the dogs bark called for reinforcements?!?)  At this point I'm thinking I should have shut the front door, but I don't want to move, like maybe if I don't move the guy won't see me (motion-based vision!  or at least if I hold still I'll look less involved/suspicious).  The guy keeps banging on the door, not saying anything, really.  Then I hear my friend say something about "His head's all bloody."  Then it's just me, the guy outside, and my friend's hysterical miniature Chihuahua, sitting beside me and doing everything in its power to attract the attention of said delivery guy.

The came back into her house again a couple minutes later and explained everything, of course.  here's what happened.

One of her dad's dogs was attacking the other.  This happens sometimes and they can't stop it; the killer dog is insensitive to pain and is tough to punish, but nice to people- just not the other dog.  Anyway, my friend ran to get her dad, who has some health problems and was sleeping/dazed (hence her yelling for him to wake up).  The guy was probably either a delivery guy or a cable guy or the like (I forget), and had some kind of throat thing (laryngitis or something) where he couldn't shout into the house.  The sirens were random and not very close.  And, the dog who was attacked got bit on the ear, so his head was bloody.  Further, she didn't know the delivery guy was there because she was so focused on the dog, not had she heard the siren, so when she came back, she had no idea at first why I looked like I'd suddenly turned to wax.

Anyway, she told me (as I guessed) that she would have told me if there was real danger, and to just shut the door after her from now on and I can just open it again if she needs to get in if I'm sure it's her.

And, it really was perfectly set up to seem as threatening as it could without actually being so- in other words, fucking HILARIOUS!

i moved it when i was cleaning, and really, it needs a bigger/heavier pot - it overbalanced cos it's so heavy and hurled itself to the floor, spreading most of the pot's contents over a fallout area larger than i would've thought feasible.  ::)

it's now wedged in the corner of the bath surround, in a terracotta pot, weighted down with about half a ton of rubble, and under threat of being banished somewhere dark, if it doesn't behave.  :laugh:

I went to the dentist first thing in the morning I had a small cavity filled. I have to get another filled next week. my dentist says it's not even a cavity he calls them "sealers" they use this porcelain white stuff to fill mine not that metal mercury shit. He's gonna fix my wisdom tooth as well that has slight decay. My wisdom teeth don't bother me but did have one out a couple years ago.
I'm not in any pain now since my mouth was frozen but I bit my cheek a bit and that hurts. I'm not gonna bitch about it because I have great teeth and have never had a real deep cavity. cavities are rare for me.

It's really fortunate that your daughter was not in the car.

When I was about twelve, a car hit my dad's car from the rear. I didn't want to ever get in another car, again. I saw it coming, too and twisted my neck.

It's seems odd to me that they didn't call the police, but people do that up here all the time. The insurance companies need a police report and for minor accidents the police cheerfully schedule a patrol car to come out and file an investigation report, taking down "your version of what happened" and moving right along.

I'm glad you're OK.

I agree it was lucky that your daughter wasn't in the car and that no-one was hurt.  When I was a young teenager my mum had a few relatively minor accidents after she'd learnt to drive (once she ran into the back of a caravan someone was towing at the traffic lights and completely wrecked the back end of it)- it really put me off learning to drive.  I think its partly the idea that a small error of judgement or lapse in concentration can do so much damage that really got to me.    When all my friends were learning to drive I just told myself that I didn't need to learn, but now I know I do need to learn I'm finding it really difficult to become comfortable with the idea. Especially because I know its not only errors of judgement on my part I have to worry about.

Thanks.

My mother learned to drive when I was seven because she needed to be able to drive my younger brother to a private kindergarten.  My dad taught her and she was really nervous at first, but they drove on country roads that didn't have much traffic until she felt more confident.  After a while, she actually became a better driver than my dad.  The only things she couldn't do well were parallel parking and merging onto interstate highways in heavy traffic, but that's because she did not get much practice doing those things.

I need to learn so I can take the kids to school once Dunc goes back to work, it was never a problem before because we lived in the same village as the school.  There is a school within walking distance of where we live now, but quite frankly its no-where near as good. :-\

Something of an understatement (its actually one of the worst in the district)

Dropped Xan off at preschool and parked up on the moor, read for a bit with my mp3 player on then walked a couple of miles on the moor. Up there looking over the valleys on a breezy September morning was hard to beat.  8)

Nothing can ever be normal for me!
About midnight, the phone rang and I was PISSED!
Turns out it was a buddy who I do some graphics work for occasionally. He has a printing business and has done a lot of work for a real estate company recently, mostly BS, but it pays well. He called last night to invite me along on a hot air balloon trip during the early morning hours.

I have talked about this fetish of mine several times here and he also knows of my fascination with the hobby. When he was invited by one of his customers to come along, he first thought of me.  I said, "Hell yeah!"

I did not sleep much. I usually wake up between four and five AM, no matter what time I go to bed, but this morning I awoke at three, tried for an hour to get back to sleep, finally gave up and started my coffee. I headed over to the lift area and they had had an accident. It seems the throttle valve had jammed open when he fired it up and we were not ready to lift off, even though the basket was leaving the ground with no one in it.

The owner of the balloon had tried several times to get in, but the flames were too much and this baby was taking off on its own. It is fired up lying on its side and the flames are very small until it starts to inflate. Once the balloon begins to stand up, they usually blast the valve wide open for about five minutes, until it starts to float, then they shut it down to idle. This time, it would not shut down and when he tried to manually operate the lever it started leaking from underneath the valve, spreading fire all around. Think: Challenger footage ...

Fortunately, my buddy and I arrived at the same time and we were able to help hold it down enough for the pilot to get his stakes back into the ground. He always fires it up, all staked down, but in his rush to control the runaway fire he knocked off two mooring lines, leaving only one. Naturally, I'm having second thoughts about going up with this guy.

He got it under control, after just a few minutes, with our help, and we were saying, "NEVERMIND!"  However, he said he needed to rest a few minutes and everything is fine, because it will only take a few minutes to replace the engine. "The Engine" is nothing but a huge bottle of propane with a control valve on it and with a little more help, he could have it switched out in a matter of minutes.

We stayed. I am so glad I was able to swallow my gulps, because the ride was really one of the most beautiful experiences I have ever had. I have been to many evening "balloon-glows" where ballooners have just have landed and want to show off to the public, but this was only my second trip up, even though ballooning has been a lifelong desire of mine.

It rained yesterday and mostly cleared up after sunset, so that's the reason for the late night decision to go up this morning. The clouds were still moving in waves as we went up and, even though we were late lifting off, the sun was just shy of the horizon. The early sky was vermilion and pink-orange with dark purple clouds moving above, hiding Venus every few seconds. What an amazing view it was from way up there. He estimated that we topped out at about twenty two hundred feet.
We were up for just over two hours, which is a long ride, according to the "exeprt" with the out of control balloon engine.

It was really, REALLY cool!

My buddy did. He promised to send me some. His will suck. I did use his camera for a few shots.
I don't know why I didn't think to take one of my film cameras.

I have honestly had some of the special warm fuzzies taken out of the joys of photography and frozen into cold pricklies by the way I was treated at my last job. I know some people would not understand why a "supposedly accomplished" photographer would not post constant pictures about his daily life, but I have some type of OCD resistance or phobia about my photography these days. I know I can still do it - I just don't. I just can't.

 :violin:

I don't even take photographs of my kids. I did spend over an hour taking the kid's photographs while my mom was visiting, using her shitty camera. I haven't seen them, though.

I didn't mean to make it sound like you were pushing my buttons.
Thanks, but no apology is necessary. There is a lot of something there, kind of like pain or anguish, but you did not cause it, add to it or make it worse in any way.
I just feel at times that some people must think of me as a sort of gran poseur, since I talk a big show, but I never post the photographs. I hope that you and a few others might understand some of that. It's actually more complicated than I can understand myself and it's inside me.
Sometimes it just feels like a mope, but other times it is an impasse of sorts. If it was something definite that I could identify, I could probably conquer it sooner.

I do shoot video of the kids, sometimes, so I'm not a total skank parent.

Got kids ready for school and put washing in, dropped sprogs off, went for 40 min walk in which I met a large and very smart dalmatian on a farm track (and discovered another fell path to explore later), took my gran to pick new specs up and potted a rose bush for her, picked little un up and went grocery shopping with PI, picked kids up and went to plant nursery for herbs, planter, muck etc so PI and the kids could make a windowsill herb garden, tidied up, had tasty PI-cooked food, put Xan to bed, watched a couple of episodes of Supernatural, washed up and dried washing from earlier. Forgot to ring dad about finding another car cos the clutch is slipping more often now. Bollocks.

Got the kids on the busses, folded laundry, took a nap, gave Mordok and the boy haircuts, and drank waaaaay too much caffiene.  I should have been in bed an hour ago, dammit.

Woke up, peeled myself off the ceiling and skipped the comb. Stepped out into the wind, to bounce along the street, until it told me I should go and make a pot. [/Pepper]


The coffee pot has become the returning savior, whether it is like the son or like the sun, it comes again each day to pick up the believer in me and cast me into calm.

nothing much.  recovering from The Day Which Went Insane, yesterday.  i suffered an allergic reaction to something, and ended up covered in burning weals, in extreme pain, mouth, feet and hands tingling.  then i went into shock, and so dizzy i couldn't stand, or even sit, hyperventilating (panic attack, i suspect), shaking so hard my bed nearly collapsed (it was like bits of The Exorcist); jack-knifing with pain; panicking cos i had to meet someone, who'd be stranded if i didn't get there.  i have never been so frightened in my life, or so ill, that i can remember.

anyway, luckily my friend came round (bless her) and sorted it all out, including driving me all over the place.  she's now the lucky recipient of one of my more ambitious knitting projects.

phew.  i never, EVER want to do that, ever again, thank you very much.  had litle sleep, but am supremely delighted, to be alive, amongst other things.

I feel blessed that such solitude is reachable so close to where I live - the open moors make up for the grim shittiness of the towns in the valleys below. And its free, for anyone who wants to claim it.

You truly ARE blessed. I literally live in a thriving metropolis. When I moved here, it was a sleepy little town outside the big city, but we have been engulfed by "progress."  We are lucky to have such a great school system, but he rest I could do without!

I was blessed to have grown up along the Gulf Coast of Texas. Solitude was everywhere. No one had ever heard of Padre Island. It's now a popular tourist area, though.

I'm so relieved that you know what it was, so you can avoid it.  Please stay hairy and proud of it.

My daughter just had an allergic reaction to an antibiotic she has been taking since she was two months old.

Her face was swelled.  I wasn't sure what the rash was because it didn't look like the rash she got when she became allergic to penicillin.  I took her to urgent care and the doctor told me that it was a drug allergy and figured this was the most likely drug to cause it, so we stopped giving it to her.  He also put her on Prednisone for a few days.   Now the only rash she has is her eczema, which came back in her elbows.

the washing might be exacerbating it, hon.  try not to wash so much, and if you have to, use an emollient cream rather than soap.  emulsifying ointment, or aqueous cream, for example - dead cheap for the chemist.

rescue remedy cream is excellent for chapped, sore or stressed skin.  chickweed opintment is really good for eczema (there's one for you, callaway, too, for your daughter, although it's expensive); calendula and borage oils take the heat out of the skin and soothe it, and comfrey for repair (although use that one with caution - it's strong stuff).  frankincense helps get rid of scars, and is fab for wrinkles (i got rid of my frown lines in a week - yay!); rose and geranium are great for "mature" skins; and chamomile and lavender for calming it all down.

can you tell i make up gloop to pour on myself all the time?  ;)  actually, i should go into production - people love my face creams and stuff, cos they actually work.  recipes available, if anyone's interested.  ;D

My daughter has to take a prophylactic dose of the antibiotic every day because she has renal reflux.  If she didn't, she would be very prone to getting a bladder infection that would quickly move to her kidneys and damage them because of the reflux.  I'm very grateful for modern medicine because I know she would be dead without it.  She was born with renal reflux and a large hole in her heart, among other things.

nasty - poor thing. :(

i'm not one of these mental naturopaths who think we should all take bloody arnica for a broken leg.  in acute and/or chronic situations as your daughter has, of course we need to use anti-bs.  my concern is more that they're prescribed for the littlest thing, and even colds, which is fucking pointless.  ::)

on thursday, i reached straight for the antihistamines and the steroid cream, not the calendula oil.  i waited until the worst was over, before going back to gentler treatment, cos waiting to see if they work may have been too late (probably not, but i wasn't going to take that risk): at one point, i was really terrified that i was going to die.

nasty - poor thing. :(

i'm not one of these mental naturopaths who think we should all take bloody arnica for a broken leg.  in acute and/or chronic situations as your daughter has, of course we need to use anti-bs.  my concern is more that they're prescribed for the littlest thing, and even colds, which is fucking pointless.  ::)

on thursday, i reached straight for the antihistamines and the steroid cream, not the calendula oil.  i waited until the worst was over, before going back to gentler treatment, cos waiting to see if they work may have been too late (probably not, but i wasn't going to take that risk): at one point, i was really terrified that i was going to die.

I haven't been that scared in a long time.  Do you have an anaphylaxis kit?  It might be a good thing to have in case of another severe allergic reaction.

i haven't, cos i've been tested for allergies, and am only actually allergic to nickel.  it's just that the eczema exacerbates any tiny skin irritation.  i think the extremity of the reaction was not only physical, but had psychological and emotional contributory factors as well - i was already stressed and panicking about stuff, and completely strung out with PMS.  i know it wasn't a simple allergy, cos the skin reaction didn't happen everywhere i used it - i reckon part of it was simple chemical burns where i'd left it on too long.  these new-fangled creams only need to be left on for 3 minutes, and i'm used to the older, 15 minute jobs.  AND the reaction happened where i've had eczema before.  probably my own fault (stupid cow that i am ::) ).

the washing might be exacerbating it, hon.  try not to wash so much, and if you have to, use an emollient cream rather than soap.  emulsifying ointment, or aqueous cream, for example - dead cheap for the chemist.

rescue remedy cream is excellent for chapped, sore or stressed skin.  chickweed opintment is really good for eczema (there's one for you, callaway, too, for your daughter, although it's expensive); calendula and borage oils take the heat out of the skin and soothe it, and comfrey for repair (although use that one with caution - it's strong stuff).  frankincense helps get rid of scars, and is fab for wrinkles (i got rid of my frown lines in a week - yay!); rose and geranium are great for "mature" skins; and chamomile and lavender for calming it all down.

can you tell i make up gloop to pour on myself all the time?  ;)  actually, i should go into production - people love my face creams and stuff, cos they actually work.  recipes available, if anyone's interested.  ;D

lol. is rescue remedy some kind of gloop they have in the pharmacy? i dunno where to search.

can you wash hands with an emulsifier? i have two Dove Cream Bars with moisturizer and it didn't say soap anywhere so i had to go buy soap from the store. mom tried to convince me Cream Bar meant soap but i need it to say soap or i won't use it for that purpose. i'm really anal about washing my hands.

lol, i don't want to get rid of my scars. :P just the dryness.

thanks for all the info. :-* you should put up a store like in Practical Magic. i love that movie.

Probably no problem at this time.  They're just being cautious and keeping her for observation due to her history.

IT'S CLOSED! HE'S FUCKING DONE WITH IT!!! IT'S ACCOMPLISHED, CONCLUDED, COMPLETE!! It is ENTIRE!! DISPOSED OF! HE'S DONE! IT'S OVER! EXECUTED!! EFFECTUATED IN EARNEST!! FINÉ!!!

mmm. pie.
Title: Re: What have you done today?
Post by: DirtDawg on September 18, 2007, 07:13:25 AM
The pie is wonderful! Pretty close to perfection! I took a (hardway) Lemon Pudding recipe from an old cook book, spiced it up with fresh cherries, and made a double crust pie out of it.

Mmmm!

I managed to surprise my wife, for once. She has me all figured out, so she is tough to surprise, but this made her smile.

(OK, Americanese co-speakers, why don't we spell that one "surprize" along with all the other zedding up, as Hadron calls it?)

Most of it was silly. Taking the "u"s out only makes sense if you listen to how we say those words, but I still say it was a continuation of the Boston Tea Party by the Webster entourage.

... and what about "exercise?"  Why be inconsistent? Evolution of language is good, but why abandon some words to devolvement and why allow extinctions to occur?

I'm glad there was a little plus to your day then.

Surprize is OK by me...it still means the same to me....

Tried to explain to my wife why my son can't do the draft/final thing and turn in both in his writing assignments. There is no paper draft of his work. It happens in his brain and when he's done, the work has been achieved and he's done with it and it's final and he's done and it's finalized and he's done!! He's finished with it! IT'S SETTLED!! IT'S CLOSED! HE'S FUCKING DONE WITH IT!!! IT'S ACCOMPLISHED, CONCLUDED, COMPLETE!! It is ENTIRE!! DISPOSED OF! HE'S DONE! IT'S OVER! EXECUTED!! EFFECTUATED IN EARNEST!! FINÉ!!! It's DISCHARGED, with COMPLETE DISPATCH!!!  There will BE no MORE!! HE'S DONE!! He's fucking DONE!!

NEXT!!

She doesn't get it.

:bigcry:


She wanted him to write it down and turn it in just like the other students are supposed to.

He's not like other students.
His process is a little different. There are already a number of allowances that have been made to accommodate his needs, but this one has been chosen as a stickler. They won't let it go. Everyone is hyped up about saving him from himself, again. It's getting a little out of hand.

Yeah, same here. I'm "all grown up now" and I understand a lot more about the writing process than I did as a kid, but FFS, he's in third grade. I know it's an extremely advanced class, but I am convinced that there are some things he is not ready to learn, yet. In many ways he is still a three year old, and five year old in others, if you try to assess his maturity level and draw parallels to prescribed norms.

If we don't push him, though, he bogs down and gets really bored. I just wish others could see HIS frustration and recognize when it is time to back-off. He really is trying.

Not today, but yesterday, I said FUCK homework! I prefaced this idea with the notion that we will have to make up the work over the weekend (It's supposed to rain)

So, I took the kids to the park for a picnic and a stroll along the river. I decided that we could go into some of the places that aren't really public access, "If we are good explorers."  We began making our own Wildcat Trails.

They loved it.

I had my kids start to name the places we were discovering and leave little sticks to mark them. There is a hill with tree roots exposed all the way down it and he named it Steproot Hill, and Steproot Point has the best view. We found a manmade perfect circle of big rocks, about twenty feet in diameter, and I suggested it was made that way for a group of people to sit around a fire, ages ago. It was in a small valley and he named it Circlefire Valley. We also found a tunnel, Wetworm Passage, that I did not know was there. My daughter slipped and scraped her knee trying to climb up to Circlefire Ridge. My son got a minor injury, too. Everyone got dirty as fuck! We threw our blanket in the middle of Firecircle Meet and had our dinner surrounded by the stones where the ancient fires once burned, under Grandfather Oak.

I don't have any regrets about how we spent our evening, even though they did not do their homework and  they went to bed late and exhausted.

See, that's what I was trying to do.
I have felt that we are all over-burdened by the workload lately and WE NEEDED a break from the daily grind. It was my impulse to just ditch it all and try a little freeform stimulation. Once we got started, it all just worked. I can guaranteee that my first grader learned more with me yesterday than she would have from a three letter word story or my third grader would have learned from a whole page of wiggly, long column arithmetic problems, all of which, they already have mastered.

In addition, I made some valuable, personal memories ... watching their young minds actually work as they experienced another small fold of nature's wonders. I'm sure it will cost me, but I don't care.

Oh Oh Oh!!!  :asthing: The place wouldn't be Near nature, Near perfect would it?  :asthing: A place you'd share with some 200,000 other people.  :asthing: Maybe the fourth largest city in the Pacific Northwest...a place that held the world fair in 1974 which transformed its downtown? A place where that lovely movie was made. It can't be, are you moving to...to...to...your favourite place in Washington:

Oh I forget the name of it...hold on i'll get it...was it? no it's gone...or...no its gone!

Or did you just look out the window and see two apartments? If so, I looked at 8 apartments and a meat rendering plant already! Though you can smell the meat all the time.

They are mighty impatient, its fine if you have your hands full.   They will come back later, probably when you are sleeping and leave it where you least expect.

I usually see it spelled with a z btw.   Probably more of an English thing with the s.

versus

It has a "g" in it and some people pronounce it.

diaphragm

Modern cameras have an electronically controlled diaphragmatic aperture.

(You should pronounce the "g" in this usage.)

also investigated the site of an old (possibly templar) church (knocked down) and the tunnels under it, and part of a park where he's planning a promenade theatre thing - and i might be in it!

Americanism:  going "gaga" means to go crazy in a fanatical interest way!   I love exploring old structures, etc.

Between Dunc and beer sampling, and you and tunnel exploring, my head would explode.  I think I'd have to take a year or two of travel in the UK to satisfy everything on my list of things to do.  Of course lets not forget Scotland and Whiskey sampling and visiting the old volcanoes that are up there!  "Arthur's Seat" up there in Edinburgh!

btw what does "get the hump" mean!??  In the US, "hump or humping" is a term for sex!??  Just curious!

The usual dropping off/collecting of rugrats; after being pissed about at the weekend by some tosser I was trying to do a good turn, arranged to take car to scrapyard for more £ than I would have got from him. His loss. Also arranged to visit Spud's secondary school he'll be starting next year, went shopping/paid some cash into the bank for PI's mum, talked to dad for a bit, and attempted to get on the list for an allotment. Busy morning - now chilling with some totally overblown metal before its time to go out again.

Still, I can't imagine finding a working automobile for less than five to seven hundred dollars. Around here, the junksters offer about fifty bucks (£25) for almost anything, but something that runs, no matter what it looks like, commands quite a bit more.

It's a shame to just crush it ... but meh ... fucking MEH!

I've done it, too, though. I let a 1966 1600S Cabriolet Fiat racer go under the hammer once. It ran fine, dual overhead cams, dual Webers, in fact it kept up with my Mustang before I hotrodded it, up to about ninety miles per hour, but it was difficult to get parts for and the registration was not possible, because it was never legally imported into this country.

It was this pic, but in black ... I know most Brits don't get Italian sportsters, but this was one fine little car. I just had no way to register it, after I had spent money rebuilding it. Fucking US safety laws! Ralph nader still had a hardon when I was trying to register it, in the late seventies.

(http://blogimg.goo.ne.jp/user_image/2a/91/11af9a3cb6be584594775eb1b6ad9014.jpg)

I had to let the hammer have it. I couldn't even find a Mexican to sell it to.

I only got thirty dollar for a car I drove to the junk yard once it's block was cracked but if you added water and oil you could drive it for the day. I don't know how much longer it would have lasted though

Post by: duncvis on October 01, 2007, 05:39:31 PM
oh, they won't crush it until it's a skeleton. I guess old secondhand cars are cheaper here. A few years ago you couldn't get shit for scrap cars - some places would collect for free, others charged to take them. To put it in perspective, I paid £260 for the car 18 months ago and it now needs a clutch, and is pretty much a decent engine and gearbox with a battered, corroded car attached. to get £50 back for it makes it cheap motoring.

Yes, it was.  As I made a cd of MY favorite Gordon Lightfoot tunes. 8)  Over the next few months, I'll be doing the same to the rest of my LP collection.  Plus it will save on the wear and tear of the vinyl.  I'll have the tunes that I want to listen to, when I want to listen to them.

My wife bought me a turntable/cd player/recorder for my birthday.  Since I can't buy cd's of the music I have collected over the years. >:(   I have a lot of little known/obscure 60's tunes. Now I can make my own cd's.  :green: My wife and daughter are download officianados, but, I'm too much of a luddite to go that route.

Yeah, well, I only have an old Dual, Shure combo, but I have replaced the original baseboard/plinith, on the Dual, with five inches of Corian and it sits in a double sand box that weighs over one hundred forty pounds, not counting the wooden stand. The resonances are minimal.

OK, that's stupid ... the resonances are below the frequency  response of the cartridge, in the infra sonic range. I feed the turntable into a tube based (4 x 12AX7) Lazarus Cascade pre-amp. From there, I go directly into my M-Audio sound card and create a .wav file. Once I have the .wav file I can either burn a disc (I always do!) or compress it, using a popular free software. I usually use FLAC for digital playback.

Wait a minute! I hate that music.

Are your results worth the effort, Ozy? I know mine have proven to be well worth the extra finagling.  Sometimes, it's just that you already have the LP, but many times the LP sound is far superior to the CD and most particularly superior to the downloads that are available.

Yes, it was.  As I made a cd of MY favorite Gordon Lightfoot tunes. 8)  Over the next few months, I'll be doing the same to the rest of my LP collection.  Plus it will save on the wear and tear of the vinyl.  I'll have the tunes that I want to listen to, when I want to listen to them.

My wife bought me a turntable/cd player/recorder for my birthday.  Since I can't buy cd's of the music I have collected over the years. >:(   I have a lot of little known/obscure 60's tunes. Now I can make my own cd's.  :green: My wife and daughter are download officianados, but, I'm too much of a luddite to go that route.

This is what I've been working on for about four years, now. I have kept back-ups of the original .wav files and immediately burned complimentary CDs. I also have many months worth, playing straight through, of old tapes from when my sound company was active. I have been digitizing my entire reel-to-reel tape collection, also. Some of them are kind of unique. I really need a new set of hard drives though, because I am almost full again.

I actually have too many songs in digi. It's bordering on insanity.

Took over the world (sorry Pupkin)  :evillaugh:

made sloppy joe type stuff (meat needed to be cooked),
using a bunch of random shit - including some pancake
syrup, and gravy mix, that an ex-housemate left behind.
Worked out pretty well.

Went out for coffee with someone.

Realised I had a fucking chest infection when I got back to the car. Went to quack's for antibiotics.  ::)

Mine was inherited.  I don't have to fuckn work, and everything is paid for me.  I have all day to train my mind and body.

Mailed a money order to the landlord, exercised, and studied

I got real sad and shit.  Blind babies have trouble devolping a unified conscept of themselves.  They have have delayed speech, because of lack of permanence in their blind world. Sound and touch require vision to be integrated, so they have trouble with concept of mom and dad.  I think I got that right.

Seems obvious in a job where you could possibly have to be insured in a company vehicle, but even places where you may have contact with the public require a drug screen these days. I was a little worried, because I got a little crazy at a New Year's party this year.

I know it's been nine months, but they have really improved chromo-spectrogram technology in the past couple of years. I'm sure you know this, Ozy.

I was a little worried that some cannabinols might be detected.

Thanks, everyone. I have a tentative offer at this point and technically I will be on the payroll tomorrow, but it is actually an elimination session. Some of us won't be able to fit their mould, by the end of next week, which is when the probationary period will start. I swear it's like a fucking computer dating service or something.

I don't mean to make it sound like so much drama, centered around an hourly wage job, but if you are nearly un-employable, it is great just to have a chance to prove you are still able.

Hey, Parts, the prescriptions you have ARE the explanations. That's all that needs to be said - You are under a doctor's care. It's things for which you have no prescription, that might cause you problems.

Good advice, Ozy!

I do OK in that department, though. I've had a lot of practice and on my good days, eye contact is a valuable psychological tool I can wield. The expectation that some people have for eye contact was fairly well slapped into me by the time I hit puberty. Even public school teachers used to slap to "get your attention" if you weren't looking right at them. By the time I was in elementary school, they had mostly stopped using sticks on kids in my neck o' the woods, except paddles for the booty, but they still slapped the "problem children."

I got sent to the principal's office because I wouldn't look at my fourth grade teacher's eyes. It grossed me out, because they were so caked with mascara that I could literally hear her blink about ten or twelve feet away, at my desk. I always sat up front, because I couldn't stand anyone in front of me. The noise was her lashes as they stuck together and pulled apart on every blink. It was very rhythmic and it always made me think of soldiers marching in mud, but it was in slow motion.
She was a bitch in lots of ways.

Callaway, more good advice. It's not a problem at all, except when I am overloaded. Most of the time I feel that coming on, too.

I got this one licked. I really do.

Worked and then went to class (listened to the teacher accuse everyone but a few people of plagarizing) When I got home I dropped a heavy fucking piece of furniture on my foot while putting together for my parents.   Hung out with some friends smoking weed and playing Halo 3 for the rest of the night.

Yeah, thats the ticket!  The last few bottles of sherry have given me headaches and heartburn.  Either I'm getting more sensitive to the stuff as I get older or the distilling has changed!

Either way, all this talk is making me want to go out and get a REAL hamburger.  Made from real meat, not the broiled hockey pucks they serve in fast food places! ::)

That is very generous of this Johnny Cake Centre to cover $111 of your electric bills. Just some friendly advice carefully budget your your expenses for a given time period, a week, a fortnight, a month.

Mind you, I am not in as bad of shape as many my age, but I have become lazy. I don't know any other fifty year olds who can side kick over their heads, but my range of motion has decreased in the past few years.
Today, I slipped a little, went a bit out of control and my legs split apart. My hip dislocated and it hurt like a mother fucker.

It went right back in, but now, I am sore.

'Green' Leather Is In This Season (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/10/071008080227.htm)

Quote
Science Daily — Fashionista's after the latest in leather bags could soon have a 'greener' selection to choose from. Scientists in India have modified the tanning process making it far more eco-friendly. Tanning is a complex chemical process used to transform perishable raw hides and skins into durable leather. Unfortunately, as a result, high levels of pollution are released into the water.

Raghava Rao and his team at the Central Leather Research Institute (CLRI) in Adyar have modified the process to make it into an eco-friendly, cost-efficient method.

The researchers found that simply reversing the order of the tanning and post-tanning steps can drastically improve the process. By also promoting non-chemical-based pre-tanning methods, they have reduced the amount chemicals released by 82% and made an energy saving of nearly 40%.*

According to Rao, "The significance is tremendous in the context of environmental challenges being faced by the leather industry". Most importantly, no loss of the leather quality was observed when compared with conventional tanning methods.

Also did the usual crap- cooking, looking after the kids, etc and managed to cast on yet another Christmas present.

Maybe you could ask at the shop where you saw them and they could get one from the back for you?

Or maybe you could knit one yourself?  It would be cute.

one. It's raining pretty hard now.

Yesterday. I had troubles settling in last night when I came home from work because there was no Internet and the whole place was different. I'm used to the guest bedroom at my aunt's and uncle's.
But my boyfriend did good setting up the TV and my Wii and PS2 so I can still do my routine but minus the internet of course. He even had everything put away when I got back. I should have the internet hooked up by the 29th.

Went to classes, picked up a half-eighth of bud, took a test, and then went to watch the Jaguars lose to the Colts.   At least I got my picture taken with some Cheerleaders and they came by and said hi to us when they were near our seats too.   In addition to that, some really freaking hot chicks sat behind us and one of the guys with them was angry the whole game haha (one of the girls smiled at me a couple of times).

I met my friend in the city and had a look at the two new train stations that have opened. So clean and big. They are also underground, the first ones in Perth. Apparently the whole trainline will be finished before Christmas (we will see) so then it will take me only 48 minutes to get the the city.

We had a look at Christmas decorations that are out already. In Myer (the posh shop) their display was huge and they even had a black tree on display. I calculated how much it would be to buy a Christmas tree, lights and decorations. It came to $850. Geez.

It is, but far more expensive then what I paid for buying it and mailing it!  Plus, it's the kind that is not cheaply made and suspect in it's quality.  At least in France it's available without a prescription unlike Sweden. :-\

GA and I went to a parents autism support group. Then I went to the DSC (Disability Services Comission) to see my LAC, no one was there so I walked back home. When I got home, the LAC rang me. It is possible I may have a job at the DSC within the next few weeks doing their filing and stuff like that. That is good news.

I took GA to his job agency, they want him to do an employment course of some sort.

Then I walked to the local shop and got some cat food.

We are not parents, no, but we go to the group....I guess so that the parents can know what autistic adults may be like...and I have made a few suggestions on how to help with some issues...

If they didn't want us there, I wouldn't go there. I have asked sometimes if it is alright that we keep turning up to the meetings, they say it is good that we are there. I hope this the sort of answer you wanted?

GA and I went to a parents autism support group.

 ???

Something new in your life?
We are not parents, no, but we go to the group....I guess so that the parents can know what autistic adults may be like...and I have made a few suggestions on how to help with some issues...

If they didn't want us there, I wouldn't go there. I have asked sometimes if it is alright that we keep turning up to the meetings, they say it is good that we are there. I hope this the sort of answer you wanted?
What do you get out of going to these meetings, asides the inevitable patronisation?

Beat my boyfriend at scrabble.  Which is shocking; he's pretty good at it, in practice, and I hadn't played in forever, and I thought I was gonna get my ass handed to me.  :D

He mighta let me win, but I'm not sure, because it ended up close.

Well, here's what I did yesterday:  Got the second shot for the series of three that is now available.  The fourth shot is scheduled for March.

I passed out after a shot once even though I felt fine at first (I hit the floor in the waiting room), so I lie down for several mitnues after any shots I get, even if I feel OK.

So yesterday I laid down and hoped that I wasn't going to pass out again (didn't even come close- yay!), and thought of how I had been in the same room the last three doctor's visits, and how much the first of the three, in particular, had sucked.

There's a poster of this sickly cute golden retriever puppy above the exam table, and it's been there each time.

I never thought I would have such a deep and abiding hate of a cute little puppy, but I really fucking DESPISE that stupid fucking dog.   :laugh:

Yes, that's exactly it. I thought she'd end the meeting by explaining that they'll have to re-evaluate my dx so that I won't take up their valuable time again.

And it wasn't her - it was all me. She was both nice and helpful, and ended the meeting by stating that she thought I was in need of someone to talk to.

Actually, for the first half year with our team of psychs, I felt like I was being patronized. They called me a "success story" because I had managed to have a career and then switched careers and remade myself. They knew full well I fit their mold for spazzism, but I was just dealing with things, with absolutely no knowledge of what I was experiencing, the best I knew how.

If I had a question about myself, during my denial stage, they said that I was trying to take away their time from my kids.

I felt more like they were frauds, at first.

Changed tyres on said car. Winter's coming, they say.
Moved a pooter to my daughter's room and installed Azureus for her, to download legal *cough* music from the Intergeek.
Had a talk with said daughter's teacher. Oh what fun.

Oh I'm okay or I wouldn't be here. No injuries but I have over $1500 damage according to the officer. The bumper, the hood and the fender needs to be bent back into place. Bumper needs to be replaced and maybe the hood. At least I can still drive it and the other guy can't drive his because the wheels rubs.

Had lunch with a friend.

and you're still awake?  ;)


went to the homeopathic hospital for an appointment about eczema and all my other horrors.  amazingly, the doctor spent over an hour listeing and asking me relevant stuff (unlike the last idiot), co she hadn't seen me before, and wanted to really get to know me and my circumstances.  i actually feel listened to.  :yikes:

she did keep asking me how things felt, though, i.e. emotions, and i did keep explaining she might as well ask me to speak swahili, being an aspie spazz, and all that...

the remedy she's given me is liquid ozone, or some such thing.   :-\  BUT she did say i can continue using peppermint oil (IBS and cools down the eczema) and drinking coffee, and i don't even have to buy the fiendishly expensive homeopathic toothpaste.  she also said that the remedy shouldn't exacerbate the eczema, for a change.

keep your fingers crossed, folks...

Well, it's pretty hit or miss, but, today, there were 2 pretty intact, small, albeit dinged up desks.  The temptation was pretty great for me to grab them both, but, I already got a pretty good desk from there a couple of months ago.  I dumped a bunch of Halloween decorations, since I don't do that anymore.........and they were gone within a couple of hours. :laugh:

They can't leave with any of your money that you don't allow them to have, but if you keep them expecting a sale, they will vacuum your whjole house.

Kirby?

I think you did the right thing by not inviting them inside.

I have someone calling me trying to set up a "free carpet shampooing for any room in my house" that "I won" and it is supposed to take just 45 minutes.

I had one of those before.  They were there for hours and hours and never managed to even vacuum the whole room, let alone ever attach the shampooer to shampoo the carpet in there.  I think that I had already vacuumed the whole room before they got there, but they wanted me to get out my vaccum to compare and they just kept going over and over the same spot on the carpet with their little filter paper instead of a bag and then they wanted to go to my bed and vacuum my mattress.  The whole time, they kept asking, "What is it going to take for you to buy this Kirby today?"

By this time all I really wanted was for them to leave my house without me having to buy a $1600 plus vacuum cleaner to get rid of them, which I had no intention of doing, and there was no way I was going to let these strangers go into my bedroom.

DirtDawg is probably more persuasive than I am, but I thought having the Kirby salesmen in my house was a nightmare.

I looked at a Consumer Affairs website to see if my experience was common (it was) and then I saw that they treat their employees like dirt too, making them work incredibly long hours without paying them.

Most of the litter I find lately is the huge cans of beer, like Foster's cans are.  They're probably throwing them out so they won't be caught driving with an open container of beer.  Or so there's no trace of it in the car when they get home.  But, how they can drive with that much beer on board is beyond me.

I looked at a Consumer Affairs website to see if my experience was common (it was) and then I saw that they treat their employees like dirt too, making them work incredibly long hours without paying them.


I've been a Kirby salesman. its like a fucking cult. i lasted six (eighty hour) weeks before deciding I couldn't do the job and sleep soundly. fucking sharks.

Kirby?

I think you did the right thing by not inviting them inside.

I have someone calling me trying to set up a "free carpet shampooing for any room in my house" that "I won" and it is supposed to take just 45 minutes.

I had one of those before.  They were there for hours and hours and never managed to even vacuum the whole room, let alone ever attach the shampooer to shampoo the carpet in there.  I think that I had already vacuumed the whole room before they got there, but they wanted me to get out my vaccum to compare and they just kept going over and over the same spot on the carpet with their little filter paper instead of a bag and then they wanted to go to my bed and vacuum my mattress.  The whole time, they kept asking, "What is it going to take for you to buy this Kirby today?"

By this time all I really wanted was for them to leave my house without me having to buy a $1600 plus vacuum cleaner to get rid of them, which I had no intention of doing, and there was no way I was going to let these strangers go into my bedroom.

That sounds pretty much like my experience with them.

At first, I was outraged with the salesmen for not delivering what they promised, a free, no obligation, 45 minute carpet cleaning.

Then when I saw the website, I just felt bad for them that they had to work for Kirby.

Their new trick is to give you a "free gift" of little monetary value, like a small box of baking soda, for example.  Then they ask to demonstrate their other cleaning products in your home.  If you say OK, then they go and get the Kirby out of the van.  If you say no after you see the Kirby, they ask for you to return the "free gift" to them.

Oh aye, the team leader gets a slice, then the area distributor gets a bigger slice, then the distributor gets one. thats why they cost several times what they're worth, cos they have to fund the 'prize' trips and stuff to keep the rookies interested, the luxury cars and shit of the branch managers, and the distributor's fucking yacht payments.  ::)

One load of washing today, I have already hung it out on the line.

I went and handed in my information for the job at Kmart. There was so much paperwork, I have never seen it like that for a job before. I was then told that I would have to do some online tests. So I am waiting for their email now.

I also went and renewed my licence. I had to have my photo taken. I hope it turns out well.

When I got home I weeded the back garden and swept all the spider webs from the windows and eaves.

Now I am here.:)

mine went straight on the radiators - i haven't got a washing line (it fell down, and i can't be arsed to put another one up), and besides, it makes the air nice and humid, which doesn't exacerbate the eczema.  not pretty, of course, but hey, i so very rarely have visitors, i don't care.

the problem with the eczema is that i'm having to change clothes far more often - it's a bloody pain, i tell you.   :grrr:

oh gods, absolutely - organic for preference (although i can't afford many of those).  it just gets covered in skin, which is fairly revolting, and makes me itch.  and then it gets covered in whatever gloop i'm flinging all over myself.  and of course, i can't wear any deodorant, although that's not a huge problem, as i rarely wear it anyway.

I doubt this very very much, but I was mainly being a sarcastic twat with my statement to Parts. As Calandale said, I hate people in my house much more than I hate vacuuming the carpet. The results of vacuuming make the chore quite worth the dread, to me, anyway. Better to just turn up the music really loud, grit your teeth and get it done.

As far as the sales pitches, I have sat through quite a few more sales trainings than most of those guys, trying to find work I could actually stomach in the retail world. I can recognize a "close attempt" a mile away and sidestep better than many are trained to cope with, all without calling them cunts, mostly.

When you hang up the warm clothes, then you can smooth out the wrinkles and it works pretty well.

Gotten pissed off at my company's computer system/network.

I needed to be "e-certified" to move on past n00b status and that required some specific testing. I took seven tests and, on the fifth one, the program froze just as I clicked to save my results.


FOUR TIMES!!!!!

Yes, I had to take that particular part of the testing, five times before I could take credit for it. It was only thirty six questions, but I kept getting a "Script error in associated program" message.

I did well, though. I had 100% correct on each of seven levels of testing.

They don't even bother to sell that around here for pools. It has a very high pH and our water has a pH of over eight to start. It would plug the filters with precipitates of calcium, once they got the water near neutral pH and it would take even more enormous quantities of hydrogen compounds to offset it.

There's two, actually.  One is body-sized, and the other is about 30*15cm and runs from floor to ceiling.  I've opened up the small one and just found lots of mould and dust.  The large one I think is a fireplace that was sealed up, but I've not had a look inside it.

I got up at 11:03 and took my Christmas stuff out of the closet and started putting up the tree but ran out of lights so I had to get more and I drove because I wanted to get home as soon as possible. Took back the DVD's my BF rented, and got Christmas lights and more pain reliever pills for my menstrual cramps, came home to drop off my car and my stuff and went downtown to rent a DVD from the redbox and take my pay stubs to the SSI, went to my aunt's to see if I had any mail there and to see if I left my game cases there, came home and finished putting up my tree and found more of my Christmas candles when I went through the boxes again.

Dropped off my daughter at school, spent 30 minutes in a traffic jam, cursing, and had to prepare a film for screening in less than fifteen minutes, with the director explaining things about the film's soundtrack over my shoulder.

Why is it that Swedish film directors ALWAYS have trouble with their film sound mixes? The Dolby SRD mixing guidelines are simple and to the point, and any competent technician with decent equipment should be able to produce a soundtrack that, while not earth-shattering, is mixed with the proper levels. Properly calibrated, a soundtrack will play about the same in any properly calibrated Dolby processor. That's the whole fucking point with standardising stuff.

And that's why I always make sure that my cinema is properly calibrated. It's not hard, not if you care about what you do.  >:(

It's not hard. 'merican filmmakers do it all the time. The mixes themselves are not always great but they are almost always Dolby-compliant, which means that when I receive a print with a Dolby SRD soundtrack from the States, I can safely assume that it will play as intended in my processor.

Swedish filmmakers, however, with very few exceptions, mess things up. A few years ago, a major Swedish feature film (around 80-90 prints, which is a lot here) reached the cinemas accompanied with a note saying that any cinemas with subwoofers installed should turn them off when playing the film. There were "problems with the mix".

The fuckwits had turned up the low-frequency levels while mixing because it sounded so "cool" in the tiny little screening room the studio had... ::)
Title: Re: What have you done today?
Post by: DirtDawg on December 11, 2007, 09:11:23 AM
Idiots!

This is somewhat common during music recordings, too. Not so much low frequency ranges, but using STANDARDISED, properly set up monitors and tweaking things past reference levels so their music can "stand out."

The downstream systems simply have to globally compress everything on the recording to make it work. The out-of-bounds tweaks went for nothing but lowering the overall sound quality of their music.

Guess what - the next idiiot wanted to do the same and we now have a loudness war on our hands. With very few exceptions, modern music recording sounds like hammerd out shit.

They have the tools at their disposal to create the most engaging and noise-free, three dimensional, perfectly separated for clarity, extremely realistic and dynamic music experience for their fanbase and they don't use it. They just want to "Sound Louder Than The Other Guy."  ... in a fucking earbud!!

:hair:

This type of short-term thinking is part of the brickwall I hit when I got out of the business.

 :violin:

Yeah, I hear you. :hair:

For a while, I made a point out of having a printout of the standard Dolby curve (the one used for optical sound; this is a few years ago) to show it to every director or sound person visiting my projection booth before a premiere. At festivals, what most of these people wanted was to test run a reel, mostly "to check the sound".

"Have you followed this?" (Me showing the Dolby standard reference curve.)
"What's that?"
"The Dolby standard curve. It should be your sound mixer's bible."
"Er, I don't know."
"What do you hope to accomplish with a test run?"
"Check if the sound is good."
"And if it's not?"
"Change something."
"Not in my theatre. Do you have the time to remix the film before the premiere?" (Stunned silence after this one, usually.)
"Er, no."

And eventually they'd leave.

Then they'd go to the festival management who would phone me, plead with me, etc, and I'd reply that "sorry, I don't do therapy sessions for insecure filmmakers." :laugh:

Idiots, mainly. And they never learn, except for a few sound guys in the business who know me well and are wise enough to bring cake, beer, or whisky when asking me for a favour. I always test run their reels if I have the time. They know that it doesn't help, but it keeps their directors happy. And, of course, these guys know how to mix a film so usually the sound is great. ;D

I should write a book called "Adventures in the Projection Booth". :laugh:

Indeed.  Hard as oak.

I got the wood for free, some insect killed a good sized oak, and they cut it down and into long peices, they had it on Craigslist.  I grabbed as much as could fit in the Jetta, had the bumper practically dragging the ground.   :laugh:

/me needs to washs some clothes, spent his laundry money and did not put detergent in the washing machine.  He had to carry heavy load of clothes with one hand on his bike, back and forth.  The second time was with heavier wet clothes.  His arm hurt from carrying the clothes in an akward position.

Studying, all about the engram in the psychology book.  It was  very intresting, had to look ahead at the next few materials instead of making notes on what he just read.  I did aerboics and stretching also, in my house, where I can see  my breath.  Its 60 and I can still see my breath, and even at 68, I can still see my breath.

Studied more on memory.  I want to know more about scotophobin, perhaps Ozy can demonstrate some intellengence.  

Went to therapy for trauma.  Those things can leave me exhuasted, but it appears with lifestyle habits getting better I get no psychogenic seizures and the therapy is tollerated much better in general.  I was asking for more, I was just doing so well, It was just like a bring it on kind of voice.

Aerobics and stretching.  Bought some chamomile tea, which I will offer some tea bags to mom.  All her meds didn't work, that includes lamical, abilify, and serroquil.  The one I suggested first, based on logic, was tollerated the best.

tramadol I've mentioned loads of times. its nice - a synthetic opioid painkiller, a bit like codeine but with a bit of a speedy feeling as well as the cotton wool opiate buzz. I have a history of back pain, so I just told the doc I could do with some as I seemed to have pulled a muscle, and said I'd prefer a refill of tramadol to codeine. the docs over here are pretty obliging usually if you can give a rational explanation of why you want the drugs. :angel:

Tried to talk to one of our geeks about why my system will not POST with the USB external connected. I could not seem to make him understand that I have already chosen the boot sequence in another area of the BIOS and the external USB could not possibly hinder POSTing by trying to boot. I don't think he even knew that I know that he did not understand my questions or accept that I DO have the ability to know what my old shit does and does not do.

Drove my daughter to her figure skating training. Watched two episodes of "Alias", then one (the first) of "Hornblower". That's a lot of TV for me. :P

your daughter's a figure skater? i'm so jealous. :P

She wants to be. She's been doing it for a year and a half and is learning fast. She entered her first competition two weeks ago.

tried to cook a too long dead bird.


we have had some drama today, because my wife bought a turkey at walmart and it was bad.

it was frozen and we thawed it for four days. it should have been fine, but i could tell when she unwrapped it at seven am this morning. it was a not good. she insisted that i was being an ass because of my hate for walmart. it got about two hours in and the house was not a pleasant place to be. i had her take a short walk and then when she came back in she understood what i had been saying for over two hours.

this bird was too long dead. i eat mostly birds, i know this stuff. i may have high standards but i carry them over to my family as well. i would be horrified to see them eat this too long dead turkey it is no longer food but for a vulture

i made chicken and dressing, we ate a little late but it was excellent. my wife was too disgusted with herself, once i finally convinced her that the turkey was bad, for trying to poison her family to cook anything else.

she can't smell anything.

she can't hear anything.

she cant see anything.

she has intuition that baffles my mind, though.

she faught her intuition this time, because she knows how much i hate walmart and she thought i was being a jerk. she was determined that i was wrong. i had to get her outside and in the cold to "clear her head"  before i could convince her that i was not just walmartbashing. when we returned from our walk, she was convinced.

It's ok, we just had a weird December with lots of snow and cold earlier.  Because the ice dams were thicker than usual and they got ahead of me.   I'v got them under control now and will keep ahead of them.  In fact after I eat lunch I'll be going outside to clear a foot or more away from the roof edge and after the next big storm I'll do a more thorough roof raking.  We have a metal roof and normally the southside of the house doesn't have a problem,  but, this year was a bit out of the ordinary.  But, I will pm you if things build up again.

Finally began the day at my suggestion for new protocols and procedures in our department. I have been like a fucking harp for weeks, now.

My little frustrated efficiency expert was hard at work on our in store problems. Any amount of tale-chasing causes me to revolt.

I came up with a better way of setting our price changes. Nothing complex, just an obvious re-think of the stupid way, designed for stupid people.

We tried it all my way today and we were done with the tough job, well before the store opened.

This bullshit needed an update. We have smart people working there. we can do smart things. We don't need to follow stupid procedures which were implemented because of stupid people, at our location. We can handle the smart way. "Trust us,"  I said.

shopping

Ah, we knew I had to go
shopping, but I (again) bought
all sorts of different things.


Avocados, tomatoes, cauliflower, rice (wtf!),
potatoes, and lettuce.

Plus, fishy! Trout was cheap.
Probably should make that tonight.
With the cauliflower.

Ah, and juice again.

I just couldn't imagine growing up with
my mother's sense of food, and not being
absolutely addicted to good stuff.

And, I bought some of my staples. Doggies,
potato chips, tuna (though that's becoming a
new thing).

On my way home, I noticed that I was actually
worried I might get run over (I go home on the
highway, and 'twas dark). Haven't felt anything like
fear, in quite some time. No reason to give a shit.

We have been ENTHUSIASTICALLY un-decorating at work this week.

Sometimes in the mornings before the store opens, we play volley ball with an out of balance kids plastic ball, half deflated. (It lifts spirits, relieves stress, builds team cohesion, etc.etc.) You can never predict where the fucking thing is going to go after you hit it. It's a blast! Last Thursday, the boss began a plan of attack - "Fuck hitting the ball over the net! If it comes my way, I'm trying for the Holiday Greetings!"
That became our new game all weekend. It was FUN!

It has been almost six hours now and she is still impatient with mee, at mee, what ever.




I know she is hormonal and the kids are a handful, but she and I are on the same team, generally.

If I know why someone is acting snippy with me, it helps me to be more patient with them.

At least you know that she is hormonal and the kids are getting to her, so it's not really personal.  It's just that her stress is leaking onto you.

Yes. The latest one I've had for ten days, now, which is the longest yet. No headaches but a persistent little "spot" right below my line of sight in the left eye. If it is ocular migraines, this time.

The doctor couldn't see anything wrong when he looked. He said that a small bleeding or swelling could cause it, too. I'm having a follow-up in a few weeks' time.

What does the spot look like?  If it was a floater, you would expect it to move, wouldn't you?
Title: Re: What have you done today?
Post by: odeon on January 14, 2008, 12:57:31 PM
Yes, floaters move, and I have plenty of those. This one is more like a fuzzy line, quite small and short. I can usually only spot it (pun intended) if I'm reaching the bottom of a book page or similar; when looking at the last line of text, I can see the "line" cross the edge of the paper.

So no, it's not a floater.

I replaced the pick-up switch and the volume pot in a "friend's" guitar and added a phase reversing switch between the two back pickups. We traded my labor for some of his old gear. (I also cleaned his guitar. It was pretty funky!)

:puke:

I had inquired about some blown speaker baskets he had sitting around and he still had them. They are mine, now!

Four of these*, two work and two are dead, but very salvageable. I can do a complete re-cone for about thirty dollars each. Most likely, I will end up customizing them for open baffle use, instead of sound reinforcement use.


*These are Chinese JBL knock-offs, but, interestingly, many JBL components fit, which I already have on hand.

Spent all day in the warehouse at work, today. I only had to go out into the dunes a few times. I got a hell of a lot done!

I was all alone and playing Stack The Blocks, a game for which I am grossly overqualified, as Callaway mentioned in another thread about several of us.

My boss came in about an hour before I left and looked around. He knows I don't want to be back-patted and only said, "Damn!"  Then he picked up a broom and started sweeping. When I got there there was no way to get down the aisles because they were plugged with products that had not been put on the shelves. There was just too much stuff in the way, but I started and did "one box at a time"  until it was all put away, just like stacking blocks.

The boss grabbing a broom was really the best complimentary statement he could have made.

I meant that in a humorous way. While it is a little funny, it is very true, what you said and it applies to many of us. I chose to include myself in this circle!


I could certainly do my boss's job and his boss's job as well and most likely another level or two as far as the actual business part, but I would go nuts with that much constant and direct peopleperson contact. I am better off where I am and in ten more years, I will be able to stop working, if I want.

I was grossly over qualified to be a dishwasher and custodian, but, what the heck, I took what jobs I could to keep a roof over my head, food on the table and books and music for the mind and soul.  And according a certain person who shall remain nameless, I am also grossly over qualified, if not ignorant and idiotic for being a stay home dad and househusband.

But, you know what......................I wouldn't change a damn fucking thing.  And I wouldn't hesitate to do it again.  It was/is as much a learning experience as any college degree.   I used to be ashamed of the path I took, but not anymore.  Dawg, I couldn't do your bosses job either for the same reasons.

Affectional stimulation, and lack off.  It makes a biological system in the brain,  that latter predisposes the grown infant to violence, alcoholism, drug abuse, and agression.  That was according to Dr. Prescott.

Stopped at the lumber yard for some MDF.
I've completed plans for a new subwoofer enclosure and I intend to test the design with some small speakers before I build it for pro-audio drivers.

Imagine a fourth order cabinet with an internal isobaric chamber, using two drivers of course. The port will actually be an expanding chamber of its own, horn-like, hyperbolic, to spread out the peak response curve. This is a proven design, but I have never tried it with an isobaric chamber, which will further smooth out the response and allow the drivers to take more power.

I was dismissed early from work, today. Some of the items we needed for a new display were not on yesterday's truck, as promised.

Probably lost those four hours of pay.

Went and had lunch with my LAC and someone from the Autism Association. Free lunch. :)
Spoke about how they can support me with working and things like that.
Spoke about all their seminars they have. I grew frustrated and said wouldn't they like an autistic to come and speak? And then I said I would do it! What was I thinking!

I am wondering whether they will take me up on this offer...

not too long - it's a shrug rather than a long cardi.  it'll take a little longer than usual, cos of all the exam marking (damned work cuts into my knitting time, bastard thing  :laugh: ), but should be finished in a week or so.  i'll try and see if i can organise my webcam, and post pics on here.  :D

I remember you recommending against a D-Link to Scr'eap. Obviously you were speaking from experience.

Our store offers D-link, LinKSys, Belkin, Netgear and two house brands, Rocketfish and Dynex, in about sixxty different configurations. That whole aisle boggles my mind. I want to learn about alll that stuff, but no one ever haas time to talk to me.

Of these, the in-house geek squad always use Netgear for their own company or personal use and if I was choosing one by the pound I would concur. There is a lot more stuff inside a Netgear box!

Do any of these other brands ring a bell?

Are these guys as smart about routers as they claim to be, as indicated by their favorite?

Netgear's fine. I've only had good experiences with them. I went for a Linksys today, though--it's Cisco's consumer brand, and, according to a tech who's opinions I trust, very good.

Hope it works out fine.

I've also heard Linksys touted as a top brand.

Interestingly, when I look up in our system any item number from D-Link for SOP on customer returns, we are instructed to junk them out and replace them. All the others (even our Korean and Chinese generics) are supposed to be sent to the service department for repairs.

D-Link routers are unreliable. I've had lots of trouble with mine, lately. The intergeeks just disappear, sometimes for minutes at a time. The wireless connection requires a reboot every day to function. I'm sick of it.

I'll get the Linksys on Thursday, probably.

Woke up, did some theological research while having breakfast, sat through a couple of inane monologues from mum about what could be changed about my room to better please her, entertained Waggy, had a theological discussion with a couple of Jehovah's witnesses I'd been expecting, entertained Waggy again, cut some black rubber flooring to put on my windowsills so that they wouldn't get scratched by Waggy sitting on them, cleaned the windows, thoroughly vacuumed and mopped my floor, washed the mud out of Waggy's paws after she'd been outside, mopped the mud from the kitchen floor, lit some incense to mask the smell of burnt food from yesterday, gave Waggy her dinner, lugged my very big computer chair outside and scrubbed and hosed mud and grit out of the castors, dried it off and lugged it back upstairs and cleared up my desk.  All from someone who is rumoured to do nothing all day.

Ah, I remember the good old days, she would say she was in the shower, and one day she would talk dirty to me on the phone, no stupid texting.

Stretching, strength training, and reading more about piaget's theories.  I would not call him genius like everyone else, seems like something I could have easily done, his theories seem rather logical to me.  Yes, with the right medium... perhaps if my family didn't instill so much stress on me :laugh:  His theories seem plausable, and it is intresting to me to know what is going on in their minds.

You think so?

Try switching places.

I know my cat "loves me."

... but if she weighed two hundred ten pounds and I weighed five pounds, I would either be her next meal or her favorite squeak toy. I do know who she is.

I have no delusions about this.

I love her, though.

Not a lot, except to drive my daughter and friends to and from a cinema. They watched "National Treasure 2", a good film according to my daughter. Of course, she is 11 and thinks Disney's High School Musical flicks are good, too.

But I'm really proud of her because she was really scared of going by herself. That is, without me or my wife. Yay for my daughter! ;D

I have not done much, but be a loverboy, today. Nothing really planned, except that I bought her fancy chocolates and found a sexy card about her "special ability" which turned from sexual  innuendo to a remark about how much of a treasure she is because she has learned to put up with me, all these years.

... an old married couple's Valentine's Day card.

I made good on the innuendos though, using my own "special ability."




(should maybe jump to the "bitch thread" now)

I just wish I had had some physical, tactical sensations today. It would have been a better day for me.

My daughter saw a drunk fall over in the storm earlier, when we were out shopping. We went back to see how he was. He apparently decided it was as good a place to sleep as any, so he didn't get up again. I tried to wake him up but he wouldn't respond so I had to call him an ambulance. He would have died there--it was very cold in the wind.

You're a hero, Odeon.

It would have been easier to just look the other way and many people would have and probably DID.

Not sure how your daughter takes things like that, but the "context" is up to you. Hope she came out of it OK.

My younger, extremely empathic daughter would be fine, but it would totally freak out my son, who has much more severe ToM challenges.

Went running, for the first time since moving. On a treadmill, insted of outside, meaning I got to watch the numbers tick by this time. Kind of cool, cause I haven't really been keeping track and turns out I'm better than I thought. Now I just have to get on a regular schedule.

been shopping, was bombarded with children, bought a cheap 2.1 speaker set (surprisingly adequate subwoofer with a pair of rather tinny satellites) to beef up my existing sound, spacked it together, watched several episodes of Life On Mars, and found time for both morning and evening secks. :bananas:

Actually, if I were to believe the sense I call telepathy, even this one made sense. I couldn't respond to it in coherent words, though, and it's rare enough to see the wavelength matched that I seldom trust it at first.

oh gods, The Regular Schedule.  :(

i've got out of the habit of running, and it's so hard to get back into it.  i really must, cos it helps with the depression, the ED and probably the eczema.  summoning up the will to leave the house is so hard sometimes, though.  really wanted to go yesterday, but i was so tired, i thought it was a bad idea.

Yeah, apart from the slight panic attack renaeden almost had at the shops when I bought her a video game (one that she'd been looking for, or had appeared to be looking for for a while and I thought I was doing a nice thing buying it for her. WRONG! I fail. Oh well trying again next time :P )

QFT, exercise and geting outdoors is the best therapy most times!  Even if all I do is take a walk, I just feel better for doing so.  Even all the shovelling and other winter cleanup crap has done some good for me!  Of course a week or two in Florida and taking long walks on the beach during the sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico is also pretty uplifting.  Especially when the beach is several miles long.   8)

Would 5 Quid do??  (I have no idea how much a quid is exactly, it's just the word that popped into my fuzzy head  :P )

:LMAO:

"quid" is a great word!

sadly, though, it means one pound sterling.  so five quid is paltry, i tell you, paltry!

Tell you what, if I win the lottery I'll raise the offer!   :green:

Compiled a new Linux kernel, compiled Nvidia drivers for it, and managed to fine-tune the whole thing well enough to make translucency work in KDE without slowing anything down. ;D

that's great!  now, apart from "translucency", wtf does it all mean?

It means that I made my desktop look a lot cooler while at the same time updating my system to the latest in the Linux world.

I'd say you're relatively safe if your toes wrinkle after an hour of bathing.

Embarrassed myself.


I was told to describe my worst fear as part of a "get to know everyone" game where you guess which fear goes with which person. My description led seventeen out of twenty nine people to point their fingers directly at me all at once.


I'm afraid that my overly creepy and extremely descriptive essay, instead of about four words, did me in. I lost the contest.

I think everyone else cheated, because I was the only one who described anything.


I certainly could have done more than the guy who was afraid of drowning or the girl who was afraid of her car. I have some knowledge of fear. I could have won if the game (yeah, I changed it from "test") was fair.

I am allergic to fire ants.   When I was 5 at my grandmother's house/farm I was playing in a huge dirt pile that ended up being a fire ant colony.   They bit me all over my body and I had to be taken to the hospital.   I couldn't breathe.  Good times.

this is just using the pancake pan over a very low flame on my hob.  i didn't think it would work, but it does.  the gods know what recipe i'm using, though - i'm just chucking things in a bowl and stirring.  :rofl:

the cakes aren't moist and dense like real cakes - they're much lighter, for a start - but they're a reasonable facsimile.

Geek squad and customer service can use some help, but I'm afraid of Customer service, because there could be some phone answering involved.

I am going to try my best to pass the geek tests, before I resort to trying the customer service positions.

Drove to airport to pick up my husband from a business trip.  His trip went well.

We went out to lunch and almost made it out of there before our daughter had a meltdown.

Not enough.

I thought that I'd somehow managed to avoid the worst of the obsession that spectrumites are supposed to be notorious for. But hours dropped out of the universe today while I was holding a book about schizophrenia, and again earlier when I was kneeling in front of that box of old crap from elementary school. I don't even know what I was looking for, but apparently something.

Why couldn't hours drop out of the universe when I'm doing something more productive, like working on a painting or at the very least doing something for work?

Took Kitten into town to get a new school bag, got some food. swapped my dad's hard disk onto my box, copied the contents and burned it to DVD for him, and swapped it back. Next job will be reinstalling GRUB cos I had to overwrite it with another bootloader since half of GRUB was on the disk I had to remove.

Could life get more fascinating?

Depends on how delicate the drive was and how limited the choices of book bags were. Saying nothing of food, but trips can be just that.

Maybe we should reopen the poll about the ignore button and debate it some more?

I think that Richard definitely had a point.

I probably would never use an ignore button even if we had one, but there may be people who would really like to ignore hundreds of posts that essentially say the same thing over and over and over again.

You could see that he posted something, but his post was replaced with "Ozymandias is on your ignore list" and if you wanted to, you could click the button to unignore him just as easily as you could click the one to ignore him, since the button was on every post.

i can see why people would be against it, and it could make things very confusing at times, but then i also see it as being up to those who choose to ignore or not to ignore, whether they have that option or not. if someone wants to use it, i think they should be able to, although i wouldn't myself and would hope it wouldn't be used TOO much. i don't see it as censorship or anything, because it's down to each individual person, whether or not they want to use it. if anything, it's giving people more freedom IMO, which is what people seem to want. there are plenty of people already "ignoring" certain peoples posts, from what i've read. all this would do is make it more convenient for them

I did it to mishmish for awhile, when she was in peak filibustering/shit stirring mode.  Her posts were giving me the worst case of MEGO I had ever had.  Morthaur suggested that I make that public knowledge.  Which I did, announcing who and why I was ignoring her.  He feels, as do I, that ignoring somebody should be made public.  I unignored her after she stopped her constant complaints of disatisfaction with how things were being set up and constantly implying that everybody who disagreed with her was dishonest.   ::)

Do you mean you could open someone's profile and see a listing of all those who THEY have chosen to ignore?

That might be fun, but it would be better to have the notification in every single post of a person being ignored to remind them who all is ignoring them as they post.

:D

I would consider that a useful purpose for the ignore button.

I agree.  The Delphi forums have an ignore function, but, I think all it reveals is that the poster sees that they are being ignored by the group not an individual member.  If we're going to have it, then who's ignoring whom should be open knowledge as well as DD's idea.

IF we do go the ignore function route.

Almost nothing yet, though I should houseclean in a couple of minutes.

I'm in the process of finishing off a game of online scrabble by a girl who's way better than my boyfriend at it- I'm getting my ass ROYALLY kicked.  I'm at 248, and she's over 400.  I have a q and a u, too, but noplace good to put them, she has only 6 tiles left, and it's her turn, so maybe she'll just finish me off.

...then I'm gonna go again.  I'm a sucker for punishment.   :laugh:  Prolly should give me a little empathy toward my Current (a few months ago I went through on online scrabble binge with him and had to stop because I'd won so much that the pressure to keep winning kept the game from being fun, lol- it had turned into a constant scrabble grudge match), though to be fair he's slightly better than I am at chess, I think (pretty close though).

With the one on Fractalus, if someone quoted a post or part of a post by the ignored person, the quote could still be seen, but you do have a good point, Soph.

Still, if the person makes comments on threads based only on the information they have seen, they probably won't respond to something that they haven't read.

I remember when MishMish was doing that, Ozymandias. 

I don't think that I ever did actually ignore her, but I did roll my eyes quite a bit when I read some of her constantly complaining posts.  I think I finally said something to her, but of course she could never in a million years let anyone else ever have the last word about anything.  I think that she is a charter member of the PPLWGIC.  Maybe we should invite her here?   :P

I'm decent at it, it helps that I know lots of obscure words.   In a  slightly amusing vein, in a high school scrabble game, I used the word "teats" and the guy I was playing against went "HUH" or "DUH" and questioned the word.  One of his buddies had to explain that "Teats" was the correct spelling for tits.   :laugh:  Needless to say he was quite embarassed.  But, I kept the word and the score.  Can't remember who won in the end, but, then again, who cares.   8)

re: the ignore button...

we could have an Ignore Thread, where people could say who they were ignoring.  but onlyif they chose to - you can't force people to disclose things, and they could have reasons for ignoring people they don't want to make public.  after all, freedom, and all that.

i'd bung mine on the thread, though, cos i'd want to try and effect change, as ozy said, above.  not that i'd hold my breath...

anyway, i'm probably too nosy to ignore anyone for very long.  :laugh:

Gotta oppose this - I don't think it's an infringement of freedom to have a feature that discloses who's ignoring whom. It encourages people to be held accountable for words and actions, which was one of the founding principles. If anybody was worried about privacy, they could just ignore people the old fashioned way - not reading the bloody posts. By adding a feature with confidentiality, the admins would be trying to protect users (albiet in a minor way).

Yes, that would be a good idea to just say who you are ignoring and why, just like Ozymandias did.

What if someone had wanted to ignore John Cooper but did not want to publicize it, since he was a creepy stalker.

Is it public knowledge who ignores whose PMs?  I don't think that it is.

I don't even know whether or not there is a way to do it officially, since my only experience with the ignore button is from Fractalus.
Title: Re: What have you done today?
Post by: Pyraxis on March 09, 2008, 03:15:14 PM
PM's are already a step up in privacy from posts, so not comparable. Though if I had my druthers it would be public who was ignoring whose PM's too.

You're right it's moot if there's not a way though. Maybe better to argue it if/when we were looking at a specific mod.

if we get the ignore button on the forums though, i think it should be visible who is ignoring who, although i'd prefer it to be private, personally

it's a matter of one freedom vs another then, surely? - the freedom to know what other people are up to vs the freedom to choose privacy.

not confusing for the person doing the ignoring
confusing for other people, if there's a discussion going on and certain people aren't seeing half of it etc

With the one on Fractalus, if someone quoted a post or part of a post by the ignored person, the quote could still be seen, but you do have a good point, Soph.

Still, if the person makes comments on threads based only on the information they have seen, they probably won't respond to something that they haven't read.


Sounds like a very sweet dream, Callaway. I imagine you were totally shocked upon awakening.

How could one respond to a statement that one has not read?

One can't, but one can certainly reply without reading a rebuttal and continue to cloud the issues with multiple repeats of what has already been put forward.

It's ok, DD.  It was emo songs from my teen years, "Day after Day"--Badfinger, "Xanadu" --Olivia Newton John and stuff I bought cd's of like my Guess Who collection,   Petula Clark, etc.

But, if you want I'll pm you the list and I will be happy to mail them to you free of charge if any pique your interest.    I am serious about this.  They are sitting in my basement cull rack until they are sent out to good homes!

Yeah, I liked the song way back when it first came out and was a useful thing for me when I used to lead geriatric exercise classes.  DON'T ASK!!  >:(  It was the second Olivia Newton John song I have ever owned, "I honestly love you" was the first.   :-[  It was donated to an animal shelter thrift store that had a vintage record section and was sold rather quickly to my surprise.   :o

My music collection is my pride and joy and secret shame!   :-[  Well, not so secret now!   :P

I like the song Xanadu too.  The movie was on "On Demand TV" here recently.

I also have a tape where Olivia Newton John sings lullabies for her daughter, which I played for mine when she was a baby.

Entertained my daughter with movies and music, played a few doll games (including make-up and hairdos, cut the hair on one of them), taught her how to skip a rock (very small polished stone, across the carpet :D), drank too much coffee, ripped, then burned a couple dozen CDs, formatted another old drive to work in a USB adapter box.

Nothing much really.

My coin collection is a big help, too. :P :angel:

You're also a numismatist? Cool. (more than half of my investments lie in rare coins ... :D)

What coinage has captured your interest?

fairy gold - he's lying through is teeth, dawg.  :laugh:  a bit like "fancy coming up to see my etchings?"

I just replaced the power supply in my machine with a nice seven hundred watt, Antec unit and the three case fans as well are now Antec.

I really wish I had taken a decibel reading before to have some tested documentary numbers, but my trained ear is telling me that this friggin box is at least six decibels quieter than it was before.

One fan failed a couple of months ago and the generic jobbie that I put in, to survive the emergency, was quieter than the one that was dying, but these are very much an improvement and I did all of them at once this time.  A bottle of comressed air didn't hurt anything, either.

My aunt is diabetic and so was my mom and my grandfather.  I'm really sorry, but it's good they found out early.  A lot of times diabetes goes undetected until it causes serious problems.  Kepping your blood glucose under very good control avoids a lot of the problems like neuropathy or retinopathy.  What sort of medicine will they try first to supplement your diet and exercise program, Dunc?  Glucophage?

Drove back home another 100+ miles after taking Amber to see her favorite group "Celtic Woman" in concert.  went down to Manchester NH, spent the night and then just returned 30 minutes ago.  Fucking tired, drained, semi-numb..........oh wait thats my normal state.  :P  Seriously just trying to unwind from the stress of the trip, enduring the concert for the sake of the wee one and not so great food at the hotel restaurant, plus I never sleep as well in hotel as I do at home.

*pauses to look up Glucophage on wikipedia :P

yeah, I've been taking metformin since Friday, its the same drug. hope it stops churning my guts soon, the gastric side effects are only supposed to last a few days. I'm still a bit pissed off about it but I can't expect to have carried 70 pounds over my regular body weight for the past couple of years without there being some repercussions. *shrug* my dad has type 2 diabetes as well and so did his dad, so it isn't really out of the blue, just ten or fifteen years earlier than I expected to get it. I'm going to miss my biscuits, and chocolate.

How are you, Callaway? its good to see you back. :hug:

Dunc just got diagnosed with diabetes when he went to see about his sore foot. :(

 :(

My aunt is diabetic and so was my mom and my grandfather.  I'm really sorry, but it's good they found out early.  A lot of times diabetes goes undetected until it causes serious problems.  Kepping your blood glucose under very good control avoids a lot of the problems like neuropathy or retinopathy.  What sort of medicine will they try first to supplement your diet and exercise program, Dunc?  Glucophage?

*pauses to look up Glucophage on wikipedia :P

yeah, I've been taking metformin since Friday, its the same drug. hope it stops churning my guts soon, the gastric side effects are only supposed to last a few days. I'm still a bit pissed off about it but I can't expect to have carried 70 pounds over my regular body weight for the past couple of years without there being some repercussions. *shrug* my dad has type 2 diabetes as well and so did his dad, so it isn't really out of the blue, just ten or fifteen years earlier than I expected to get it. I'm going to miss my biscuits, and chocolate.

How are you, Callaway? its good to see you back. :hug:

I'm OK and thanks, Dunc.

You are already taking the Glucophage with food, aren't you?

My grandfather took insulin injections every day, but he was able to completely stop taking them when he lost some weight and he controlled his diabetes just with his diet.  My mother and aunt had to take insulin the whole time, and my mother took Glucophage, as well, though.  My aunt has an insulin pump now to try to keep her blood glucose under better control, since she was a brittle diabetic.

I have actually impressed mylittleself, today. My industrious streak lasted most of the day and I managed to get a lot of garden clean-up done.

Kind of wet at times, but no real rain.

I made sulphuric acid by reacting sulphur with oxygen, passing the resulting sulphur dioxide and sulphur trioxide through a flask of water and gently heating it to remove the dissolved volatiles.  Unfortunately, it was just a chemistry simulation, but it was quite interesting.  The software's numerical model got into some trouble when I tried to evaporate off all the water and the app tends to crash a lot, but I'm still quite impressed with it.  Does anyone know where I can get some real sulphur?  Fungicide at a garden centre maybe?  The stores here all tend to sell complicated and expensive proprietary products, so it's hard to get hold of basic chemicals.

Pain killler is what I needed.  I do know that magetic bracelets have scientific backing to them, and I notice an improvement in muscle pain after exercise, on top of the antioxidants I am taking.  They increase spinning of ions in the nitric oxide enzyme system, increasing oxygenation, detoxification, and decreasing inflammation.  I am not sure if that is the correct enzyme system.  I am fully aware of the power of suggestion,  where its believed that as much as 50% affects of those things is in your head.

I am aware of alot of things, I have been hearing how isolated supplements don't work as well as whole food.  If the whole food were not covered in pesticides and crappy farming methods....  If pizza wasn't perverted in such a way....

I take a probiotic with food to help unlock its benefits.  I take whole food supplements to like alfalfa, large dose 46.5 pillls or 30 grams of dried leaf.  That is 240 grams of fresh leaf.  God a large fuckn  bag of broccoli in my freezer. :zoinks:

Today I went to Starbucks and B&N, bought the new GQ with Colin Farrell on the cover and the Breakfast at Tiffany's DVD, had lunch with a friend who also has AS and listened to her vent.  Now I'm posting here and getting ready to look at Colin some more before dinnertime.

This is closer to my list of stuff I've done today.

... except for ripping LPs and I did have a hot shower (a little too hot, maybe). I have a hell of a mess from looking for a specific album. I always do that.

I slept til 11am, which is early for me lately... I then had breakfast; nutrigrain. Then did some chores. After that l went on my computer surfed a bit, played some Sins of Solar Empire ("a boring game" - renaeden). I then rode my bike to te Post Office, to post my sister's birthday present. On te way back I pondered stopping at Subway to grab a late lunch, but in the interest of lethargy I decided against it. However some hours later I was hungry, and being too lazy cook something, I got on my bike again and went to Subway and bought myself a Turkey & Chken Teriyaki sub with Old English Cheese between the meat, then toasted. With lettuce, tomato, onion and olives, and Sweet Onion Sauce dressing. Yum.
Then me and renaeden watched some DS9 and went to bed, where I am right now typing this message on my Nintendo DS Browser.

so, it's going at cost, if anyone's interested.  ;D

would you consider moving away from home and going to a college somewhere else?

Sixth form college I meant.

Moving away - highly unlikely.

I just need to find a good college that does the subjects I want, with decent enough teachers and people who I can relate to.

The college itself wasn't that bad.  The level was a bit low (especially in my Film Studies class gods  ::)) but the people were terrible.  I mean, I am friendly enough so I had a few people to talk to in some classes, but I spent all breaks alone.  Took the bus around the area each lunch time or walked to Portobello Market :P 

However, I did make friends with a the owner of a second-hand bookshop, a clerk in a film shop, a clerk in Urban Outfitters and one of the baristas in Starbucks lol.  He knew my favourite order  :lol:  How sad.  The things one does for a conversation :P

Not really. THAT wouldn't have shocked me this way.
I think I started to realize that I am fairly content, AND
there is no great pressing fear in the future.

Hell, even with my wife, I knew that we'd have to
move so she could go to grad school, and that everything
would sharply change, in an ugly manner. Here, I have
to worry about getting really hired, but I think that's going
to happen. If not, not.  I can always find another job as good.

Pretty much, any changes that I see look to be improvements,
and nothing is terribly wrong. Yeah, I get lonely, but I'm used
to that - I almost seem to aim for it.

To me, your criticism of the site falls under the same category as your pseudo-philosophical theories, which smell pretty at odds to the enjoyment of life, to me at least. I don't actually see you outright whine that often - when I've seen it, I've called you on it and you mostly quit.

They aren't. I can enjoy fully, whilst holding them.
Indeed, I greatly enjoy my work, which is very much
like criticizing the site. My philosophy, might seem at odds,
but I can't control some of the base instincts which bring
happiness - things like memories.

What course are you thinking of?
It is called MediTrain. It teaches about medical terminology, patient records, stock control and supplies, patient confidentiality and some other stuff. I would really like to do it, it has the option of doing it part-time so I know it wouldn't be too overwhelming. It costs $650 so it will take me a long time to save for it.

But I feel better for it, I have something to do, a goal.

i think that will be good if you can do it
my mum's been suggesting i do a short course before i go back to uni. i think it will help with other problems. it will be good if you find it interesting and have something new to work to
Title: Re: What have you done today?
Post by: renaeden on April 07, 2008, 08:35:20 AM
Centrelink won't help with the course unless I definitely get work out of it, they would prefer full-time work. I can't promise them I will be able to do it. If they help me with the course, then I have to come off the pension and that makes things harder straight away. It is pressure on me and I am not so good with pressure like that, especially when it affects how I live (Centrelink has a nasty habit of cutting payments off if they have the slightest reason to do so).

Centrelink doesn't know about me being in hospital and recent diagnosis, so they probably think I am more able at the moment than I really am. I am just trying to be not so hard on myself, I want to be as well as I can get before I plunge into something that will potentially stress me out. Maybe so I have some strength in reserve?

Your mum has the right idea about you doing a short course. Just something to help you get back into the rhythm of going to school and studying, that sort of thing? If you can afford it and feel right about it, then I say go for it Soph. :)

"was" being the operative word - it was fleeting, i'm sure.

today, i have worked for six hours on my thesis, and then experienced the delight that is pea au naturel.

i need a lie down and a warm drink...  :hide:

What does that mean?

I don't do them, because they don't agree with me, so I am curious.

What is a benzo hangover?

Steroidal hormone, and surprisingly, I don't masturbate much, I may say alot on here, but ironically, I don't do it much, like 1 time a day usually.  My effort is focused more on preparing myself for the best experience ever.  Plus solo jacking off is kind of depressing, and Jessica is not helping by ignoring me.  She was mean in the begining to, so her trying to play hard to get, doesn't make sense to me.  She is lucky I understand her.  Depressing to watch others hugging and shit to, none it stops me from working like a manic for the real thing.  I am perhaps overprepared now. :laugh:  Go steroid!

Aerobics, stretching, reading about alfred alder's theory on personality devolpment.

I wrote a little program to simulate population growth after the biblical flood.  It assumes the population grows under near-miraculous levels of fertility and zero mortality, with each female producing a baby every 40 weeks once they're 12 years old.  Unfortunately I suck at coding, so it's very inefficient and slows almost to a halt on my machine after about 50 years, when the population is 33456.  Dates are given as (years,weeks), counting from (0,0) at the start of the run.

Tried to prepare for a physical inventory of every last fucking thing with no lights in the warehouse.

Seems the "genius" from the electrical utility reset some things in our power system for Green Compliance   and got PM and AM mixed up when the part about "minimal serviceable lighting" came up.

We went dead dark in the warehouse at ten thirty this morning and inventory crunch time is here.

Fielded about two hundred impossible questions from my supervisor. We were paired side-by-side, today. He was asking me, in the most round-about way I can even imagine, if I knew anything about autism.

Apparently he does know a bit and the fact that he has an autistic niece was volunteered in the day's conversation.

WTF do I do with this? Is he prying? Is he trying to corner me? Is he diagnosing me? Is he asking for help from someone who he deems as wise? (He's about my age) Is he leading me somewhere? Should I worry? Should I be more honest?

I remained stoic, non-plussed, unconcerned, aloof, disinterested, detached, cold and passive but in retrospect and possibly in error, I responded in a somewhat encyclopedic manner to his questions, which seemed to impressed him beyond reason. (I FUCKING BLEW IT!!)

I think I'm busted.

Yes, he seems to like me, but he is a pawn, only separated from me in the hierarchy by a title that gets thrown around like in a game of "pin the duty on the first dope that speaks"  or something.

I don't really know him well enough to say for sure.

Thank you for helping me to address my paranoia.

As far as I know he could not possibly know anything about my children. He is the third one to have that job position since I started to work there. He is new to me.



He's also a retired army doctor and he bugs the shit out of me, in more ways than I could explain.

He seems to be be a decent sort, though a little soft for an army guy.

Brings back fond memories.  My grandmother had me over doing house work and yard work, lots of work, you tend to get in shape.  I also went digging through the medical  books for her and the husband.  I miss her, so much I didn't get to say to her.   If only she could see me now, I have tears.

Have you seen the Tom Danley creations? I can personally recommend his "Tower Of Power!"

I don't know him, but he posts on several boards where I visit. He's a smart guy and he's not giving up any info on his T-o-P.
I know what he has, though. It is a modern update of the old Imperial subwoofer, based on a resonating column of air with the driver inside the column, instead of exposed to the outside air. It kisks ass!

(NOT based on the Imperial design with front-loaded driver and horn-loaded backwave)

it was some typical horn loaded stuffs. nothing special, but it was a small enough room that they didnt have to push it too hard and it sounded pretty decent. the tops were that new qsc actives, i was actually impressed with the way they sounded.

ive heard lots of good things about the danley towers, all the good techs i know babble about them. id love to hear it. im a big fan of the bagend designs with modified urei or tannoy dual concentric tops for small systems. arcs and sb218s for medium size. ive had the pleasure of working with kudo a couple of times lately, l-acoustics has reinvented the wheel yet again. totally awesome. ive been tempted to invest in a madras system but idont know if i want to own stuff. i have acess to all the l-acoustic line at great prices so its hard to justify the investment.

Some of the Bagend stuff is good, but not really what I would think of for pro duty cycles. They are mostly for the HT crowd from what I have seen. Don't get me wrong they are good for the design type. If they have a pro line, I haven't seen it.

Anything Tannoy can sound really good, too. I really like the Dual-Concentrics when used in a linear array ... hard to beat in that kind of set-up. Takes some bucks, though.

Nope. My parents have gone together and loved it. I would probably have trouble with the lack of privacy, and the too many luxuries. Definitely not my first choice of vacation.

I cleaned my house yesterday, baked mud cake and made some dishes because my Aunt and Uncle were to visit me today.

Then I rang and my Aunt tells me my Uncle had to work today and she forgot to ring me.

Fucking Assberger she is.

It's OK.  Now my house is super clean....only problem is....I feel like getting pizza but I have all this fucking food now!

let's resurrect some threads cal buried with his blabber.

i'll start:

today, i attended an AS awareness meeting at uni.  the lecturer was mainly a knob (he subscribes to the "social model" of AS, and missed half the points completely).  his co-presenter - a student with AS - was as cool as fuck, though - really engaging, and got several messages over bloody well.  a real person, too.  in fact, i've invited him here, so watch this space.  ;)

several people came up afterwards to ask me stuff, and ask if they could contact me about AS, and the disability officer is going to email everyone, to say they can contact me, or even that i'll give a presentation where they can "hotseat" me.  one more blow for AS advocacy, i reckon - stop getting "experts" to talk at people, and start getting people with AS to say what it's like.  :woohoo:

Instead of exercising 2 times a day, since its counterproductive to my goal of loosing body fat and recompositioning my body, I will study more.

I did fuckn aerobics, and low intensity exercise while I took herbs and steroid, to promote absorption.  I stretched and read about personality devolpment also.  Its going to be aerobics going fast and catching errors at the same time, a fun challenge.

I am crap at talking, so hopefully I can plan it well and it won't be so bad. I am fine talking in front of people - it is the talking itself that gets me sometimes.

renaeden's diagnostic psych has asked her to participate in giving a speech to other autism diagnosticians because her case is somewhat unique.

renaeden's diagnostic psych has asked her to participate in giving a speech to other autism diagnosticians because her case is somewhat unique. It'll help give them a more adult perspective on what is largely perceived to be a "childhood illness/disease/condition". I think it's awesome, for both of you. :D (w) but more so for renaeden, cos I get to live with her ;)
i think it's awesome-r for renaeden too, cos i'm used to performing in front of people, with all the acting, singing, lecturing, etc.

Because I haven't had any acting experience apart from behaving myself :P and blending in with other people (putting on the social act for a short time) I will find it easy to be myself. Better to be that way, the real me.

Woke up early, went to the gym, lifted weights, swam in the pool, went for a 3 mile hike by the lake with my girlfriend, Amy, her boyfriend and Sam, came home, laid around, took a short nap, took a shower with GF, cooked dinner (bangers and mash), went out for coffee, went to meet someone who's friend was supposed to play guitar, went to the wrong place, came home, watched Survivor and CSI, sat down, looked at Fiona's cleavage for a while, made the coffee for tomorrow morning, wrote a run on sentence, and went to bed.

I made a water-lift filter for my pond out of a couple of plastic plant pots and a hose pipe, plus string, silicone sealant, filter floss etc.  Hopefully it'll clarify the water a bit once bacteria have colonised the filter medium.

I don't think there's much chance of that.  The filter medium is inside a couple of black plant pots, one of which is inverted, at the bottom of a murky and somewhat shaded pond.  It wouldn't be desirable either; the filter depends on microbial action in the filter medium.  In UV filtration, water is pumped through a chamber with a strong UV source to kill pathogens and generally undesirable organisms in the water, without affecting the microbes that live on the surface of the filter medium.


Here's how I made the one for the pond, and some pics of smaller ones I made for my aquariums:

I guess I don't know what you are filtering out.

Here, our water is so high in PH that, without some exposure to the sun, the filter will only plug up with all those beneficial bacteria. Lowering the PH helps some, but the run-off from rain puts you right back where you were. Lower PH also helps to control the algae colonies in our filtration systems, which are another consequence of sunlight exposure.

Your water looks pretty clear to me.

:D

Of course it looks clear; it's got a filter in it.  :P  That tank was only set up about a week ago, so it's not had time to develop many problems, though there was some particulate matter accumulating in the water from food scraps and exoskeleton shedding, which was filtered out very quickly when I stuck the filter on a couple of hours ago.  I have an older tank that was quite dirty with particulates, and it's much clearer now too, though the water is a bit brown from tannins that leach out of leaf litter that my invertebrates feed on, and the plastic has gotten a bit stained from the tannins.  The pond's problem is free-living algae which have turned it a murky green, and the best way to deal with that is to reduce the nitrates in the water through denitrifying bacteria in the filter medium that will consume the nitrates for energy and break them down into nitrogen and other inert substances.  We got some goldfish for the pond today too, so they'll add to the nitrate load.

got up much earlier than i have, recently, because i slept better!  :woohoo:

sadly, this was because i got off the pooter earlier - i really think staying on here late at night makes my eczema worse.  shall have to experiment properly, and see if there's a significant difference.

I "learned"  a little about cameras today at BB.

:D

Yeah, right!

I was doing other things, but there was a session going on to train others about cameras. I had to jump in, impulsively, when I heard the guy trying to explain what the markings on the lens mean. I couldn't fucking believe it. I had to explain a lot of things, including why I thought my detailed summation was relevant to their training. I suggested that many people who will respond to the ads the company has been running will know a lot about these things (we now offer a couple of high grade semi-professional cameras) and if you look like you don't know, then we will miss sales.

They then asked me to explain that first part again.

I don't like to be outside unless I'm actively doing something outdoorsy.  If I'm just sitting around, I get annoyed that the sun's baking me, or the wind's chilling me and blowing my hair in my face, or that it's raining or the midges are biting or the slugs have come out by the hundred and made a carpet of slime and slugs everywhere.  It's particularly annoying that on sunny days there's usually big, fast-moving clouds racing across the sky, so it'll be sunny and hot for a few minutes and then a cloud will obscure the sun and it'll get cold and windy all of a sudden until the cloud has past, so I can either alternate between being too hot and too cold, or I can constantly put on and take off clothes.

showers and snacks, no problem.  never had the solar panel thing, but then it was lo-tech living.  there were loads of musicians on site, though, so never had a problem with finding music, which i loved especially, cos we made it ourselves.

i'm definitely an earth sign, too, which is why i love living on it, i suppose.

I don't like to be outside unless I'm actively doing something outdoorsy.  If I'm just sitting around, I get annoyed that the sun's baking me, or the wind's chilling me and blowing my hair in my face, or that it's raining or the midges are biting or the slugs have come out by the hundred and made a carpet of slime and slugs everywhere.  It's particularly annoying that on sunny days there's usually big, fast-moving clouds racing across the sky, so it'll be sunny and hot for a few minutes and then a cloud will obscure the sun and it'll get cold and windy all of a sudden until the cloud has past, so I can either alternate between being too hot and too cold, or I can constantly put on and take off clothes.


Sit in the shade, face the breeze, keep a cool drink within arms reach, tunes if you like, then get up and do something.

Yeah, if I wasn't so enamored of certain things, nightly showers, poking into the fridge for snacks, etc that would suit me well.  A decent sized solar panel for computer, radio and music players.  I am definitely an earth sign!   8)

showers and snacks, no problem.  never had the solar panel thing, but then it was lo-tech living.  there were loads of musicians on site, though, so never had a problem with finding music, which i loved especially, cos we made it ourselves.

i'm definitely an earth sign, too, which is why i love living on it, i suppose.

Never could live like that. I don't like people. Music, yes, people, no.

i liked the music people, but then i'm always more likely to get on with other musos.

a lot of the rest of them were fucktards, but i have a reputation as a evil bitch, so they behaved themselves around me (i.e., stayed well away).  :laugh:

and there are always plenty of opportunities to be on your own, if that's what you want.  and people respect that (or die, in my case :laugh: ).

Not really.

If they don't like to be around you, then, problem solved. Dealing with some who are there to "network" can put me off too, though.

That's the beauty of outdoor events. no one has to be very much involved with other people, unless they want to be so involved.

He posted another quote thingy, in spite of me asking people not to, while I investigate what actually happened this morning. It looks like the nested quotes could possibly mess up table indexes, given certain conditions.

Repaired and re-setup my composting bins after the Black Bear tipped them over last night.   ::)  He must be desperate, because there's only vegetable matter and coffee grounds/tea bags and dead flowers in the bins.  He's a BIG'UN too.  We saw him making a play for my birdfeeders in the early evening.  Fortunately he ran off a short distance as I retrieved the feeders and brought them in for the night!

I did.

If the nested quotes broke the table indexes, then I thought that it made more sense to lock it because it's possible that Vodzy could have quoted that post without reading Odeon's request first. 

Lots of people respond to threads without reading the whole entire thread.

If it did not break the table indexes, then it can easily be unlocked.

In which case calling Vodzy names without first establishing why he did it, only makes the name callers look like arses. Arrogant and Ignorant Arses at that.

True. I also made an assumption when I read where Odeon had said that Vodz "deserved" to be called names.

My assumption was that there was a good deal more to the story than the surface had revealed from my quick overview of the place.

Went to the hardware store (a local one) and bought 8 bags of river pebbles for a front of the house landscaping job.  Petted the store cat for 10 minutes while I waited to be served in a busy store.  The cat was cute and very lovey.   :green:

Got home and spread the pebbles between the house and a border of antique cobblestones.  Looks very nice!   8)

It is very annoying because I could have simply locked that thread--and been in my power to do so--but instead chose to ask everyone nicely. I don't like enforcing things because this isn't that kind of board and I tend to respect the membership more than that. Yes, even Vodzy, until he showed that he couldn't respect me.

But no, it didn't. It's a bit of a mystery to me. My theory is still an unlucky chain of events, with that bug being one link.

If it happens again, I will have to change my mind and see if we can optimise the db tables better, or something... :-\

took photos of my knitting cos someone on the knitting board i visit asked me to - check out my bored tits thread.  ;D 

potted up some veggies - melon, beetroot, cucumber (i should really be writing these in finnish, shouldn't i?  ::) ), and various houseplant cuttings.  sowed more lettuce/salad leaves and some spinach, coriander, basil and dill.

carried on frogging this bloody stupid jacket (whoever crocheted it was insane, on drugs and Having An Episode  :grrr: ).  had lunch, read a bit, got too hot.

waked 3.5 miles, and found that my lovely shop with the bargains closes at 21.00 during the week, which is too late for me to walk round the park (it gets dodgy in there).  :'(

Well, it's early.  And I had to get petrol early while it was quiet on the road, but didn't want to change out of my pj's....so I put on my big coat and went to the petrol station....that turned out to be full of tradies going to work.  It did feel kind of fun to still have my pj's on but no one knew....of course I was waiting for some disaster to happen and my secret to be revealed!

It's hardly even cold enough to wear a coat....maybe they all knew....or maybe I just looked like one of those trenchcoat perverts.....ready to flash open my coat and reveal my cute little pj's!

Then I went and got a coffee....and now it's time for work.

And that is hopefully as boring as my day is going to get.  Riveting stuff.

I think you probably need to use the Windows character map thingy and locate them in there. There are escape codes for printing them on screen but I don't remember how you do those in Windows. There's probably a code point listing that you use together with Alt or something...

Or you could copy&paste these: Å å Ä ä Ö ö. The first two (Å å) aren't used in Finnish, except for in names and such.

Went to the hardware store (a local one) and bought 8 bags of river pebbles for a front of the house landscaping job.  Petted the store cat for 10 minutes while I waited to be served in a busy store.  The cat was cute and very lovey.   :green:

Got home and spread the pebbles between the house and a border of antique cobblestones.  Looks very nice!   8)
Sounds cool, Oz.

Post a discrete pic, if you can.

Well, it's early.  And I had to get petrol early while it was quiet on the road, but didn't want to change out of my pj's....so I put on my big coat and went to the petrol station....that turned out to be full of tradies going to work.  It did feel kind of fun to still have my pj's on but no one knew....of course I was waiting for some disaster to happen and my secret to be revealed!

It's hardly even cold enough to wear a coat....maybe they all knew....or maybe I just looked like one of those trenchcoat perverts.....ready to flash open my coat and reveal my cute little pj's!

Then I went and got a coffee....and now it's time for work.

And that is hopefully as boring as my day is going to get.  Riveting stuff.


I wish for one hundred more days like that before I am drawn into another "knight-like wannabe"  situation.

This weekend, I planted hydrangeas, red geraniums, red peonies, red, white and blue petunias; white dianthus; and blue pansies in the Mexican clay pots that I have on the steps in front of the house.  I also pulled the weeds and dead stuff out of the garden.

Today, I went with my daughter to school, my husband turned the garden and we planted some purple carrots, tomatoes, and zucchinis.  I set Walls-o-Water around the zucchinis and tomatoes because it still goes below freezing some nights here.

They were thankfully cute PJ's....a gift from a lovely lady.

Had they been ones I purchased.....well, not sure even I would have taken the risk wearing them under the coat to the petrol station.....knowing my luck that would be the day I got cleaned up by a truck in the car and spent my time in emergency in some lusty number.

spent some time watching the THREE (count 'em!) fox cubs in my garden this morning (it's 05.56 now)!  i'm so excited about this fox thing.  :woohoo:

edit: and now, here comes big daddy (or mummy) fox, in hot pursuit of a foxling!  i wish i had a camera...

edit2: mummy vixen (i'm assuming this, now, as i don't think foxes go in for the male parenting thing) plus three foxlings actually gambolling around the garden, eating something off the lawn - if it's slugs, i may explode with delight!  :cheer:

now Mummy V has scrambled up and over the fence to next door's garden, and the little ones are scrabbling round by the fence - there must be a hole, cos they've appeared in the other garden now.

sorry - i suspect no-one else here is as rivetted by this as me.  :laugh:  real time fox-watching, though!

The important question is ...


Did you lose control of bloodflow or did you maintain your erection? 

Mine has "Popped"  several times. I think the POP is just a hollow sound from it being bent and straightening quickly toward the ultimate target, which is somewhat "hollow" when compared to your penis. It makes a sound.

Kind of scary though when it hurts, though.


Underlying sentiment is ...

Seems like the old "Horse"  model I used to have, the stake was made of cast iron. It could easily break, I always thought. Fortunately there were no rocks in the soil where I was using it.

Can you temper the steel, afterwards?

I have did Blacksmithing at a local museum with my brother when I was younger and would like to get back into it.  I have everything but a forge right now I use a tourch to heat things up.  Tempering shouldn't be a problem might not bother with the firston though it's getting late in the planting season

Uncovered regrets I had not yet imagined could possibly be.

My Eldest son's "girlfriend" had an abortion a couple of years ago and now that my son knows me, he regrets his part of the happenstance, utterly.

How come?

It seems he did not care before about many family things, before he knew me.

It's complicated.

He knows he's not alone, now.

It's a dual core Pentium at 2.66 GHz, a 500 GB HDD, 2 GB of RAM and a GeForce 9600 video card. There's a Samsung DVD burner, too, and I'm going to use my old Audigy 2 sound card, instead of the built-in thing. A fairly modest setup, I'd say. Had to make sure everything was supported by Linux, and so I didn't pay extra for the 9800 card.

Thinking of including a new screen, too, and giving my old one to my son.

Good Motherboard that, one thing I like about it is the dts Connect out through the Digital out. My main PC has Dolby Digital Live through Coax SPDIF and my Medai PC does dts Connect through Optical SPDIF and both have digital amps that do both. (yes, perhaps a little decidant).

On 22" LCDs, not really sure, but what I usually is look around at what is for sale reasonbly local and then check hardware reviews on models which look interesting to you.

to be honest, i haven't really noticed why it's better than outlook express.  but then, i don't know enough about pooters to notice, if you see what i mean.

I think Thunderbird is better than Outlook Express because it doesnt automatically open an email just because you have the preview plane open, oh and it has a spam filter and works with gmail, which is how I get topic notifications from this place. (its set to check every 5mins)

I visited a "friend"  from work in the hospital. The stupidest thing happened to him loading up a customer's stuff when an impatient teen tried to blast past stopped traffic and hit him with her car, all while she chatted on the cell phone.



On the polar opposite end of emotional impacts, I learned that a convention of music professors/educators are planning to honor my father's lifelong efforts and pay for my travel expenses to the event, so I can accept the awards.

I'm OK with watching a "friend" get pranged (lightly) by a car and end up hospitalised, but I have no idea how to handle the happy tear  shit, involving my dad.

They say that men are mostly ridiculed in their youth, challenged to prove up in the middle of their lives and ignored in their old age. The ones who are honored after their deaths, by their colleagues, have kindly touched many, many lives. I knew my father had been a kind man. I just had no idea that so many, so widespread and diverse a collective of people, also knew this to be so.

Did some more painting of the house today!

I was hoping that drapes would have been enough for the season, but my wife is pushing to get me to paint the living room, kitchen, dining room and REpaint the kid's bathroom. (We JUST painted the kid's bath!)

I need courage.

Why, she didn't like the way the color looked once it was on the walls?

No, that would make sense.

Colors often look different by the wallsworth than they do on a one inch swatch. It takes a good measure of cleverness and some forgiveness to choose colors that way.

We are switching from a garden theme to an underwater theme. It all sounds very cool, but we took over a week to paint four walls into a continuous mural of trees, sky, flowers, vines, birds, butterflies, etc.

Now we're going to paint it into coral, seaweed, jellyfish, a shark, some eels, starfish, a school of "shiners" and who knows what else.

I don't know whether to be jealous or intimidated by the insane amount of creativity in your household.  :P I've painted a couple murals in my parents' houses, but nothing so elaborate.

Actually, what I really am is wondering about misdirected energy.

Actually, the energy required to create a simple cartoon-like mural for a kid's room is not wasted at all. It gives them something unique that is just their own. They also get to be messy with paint and stuff while I put down the base coats of the backgrounds. 
My wife is actually a bit of a graphics artist, but she works mainly in 2D with paints, etc. My "painting talent" lies in my ability to force perspective, imply direction to lighting that remains consistent across a forced perspective (easy for me, not so for some) and when it applies to the project, artificially "age" and "wear-in" things in ways that make them appear more real. I wish I had detailed shots of the photo sets I have built. You might be impressed, if what I am talking about made any sense.

The problem and one possible example of misdirected energy in my way of thinking about it, stems from the fact that we did the current decoration during this past winter when I also replaced the toilet, tub, window and door. I am telling myself that she just NEEDS this "release" and that I should help make it possible.

Wow, that does sound cool and creative, but so does the garden theme.

We had a fish bathroom when we first moved into our house, but we changed it to flowers.  Nothing nearly as elaborate as yours, though.

Early this morning, I finalized the plans for my latest subwoofer design (like the paint drawing I posted a few months back, but scaled up for a REAL driver that can take some REAL power and move massive quantities of air), trimmed lots of garden growth, had lunch with the family at the park, fought with my wife and cut my head (those last two are not related).

I've had a full day.

I just ditched the WinXp install I did a couple of months ago. I was getting buttloads of errors. I put in a new HDD, too.

I am posting on the default IE6 browser, but I have already downloaded Firefox 3. I plan to give it a try this weekend when I have more time to play around.

I downloaded it in the magic 24hr period, installed it, tried it, was like "meh", went back and kept on browsing with Opera 9.5 (which is a little buggy still, its obvious they rushed it out to beat FF3)

Unless someone knows of a plugin for FF3 that lets all the tabs squish up instead of scrolling from side to side.

It's OK. A 3 out of 5, maybe. Some big holes in the script but still enjoyable. And if you're 13 years old, it's probably near perfect.

Went to a job interview - it was a group interview, they said that there are at least two more interviews to go through before even being considered, so I am not hoping too much right now. I am pretty happy doing what I am doing at the moment.

Also went to a careers expo, there were some university stalls (or whatever they are called) and I looked up Behavioural Science. I think that would be a great subject to study. Being able to go to university is a completely different thing to think about, though.

Is there an open university out in Australia. It could circumvent the farce of actually physically going to a university all the time.

Made hundreds of faces and spoke "larger than life"   using about forty different melodramatically conceived, cartoon-like voices as if I was entertaining a hyperactive three year old. I WAS, sort of.

My daughter is coming out of her "funk"  from seeing my head bleeding profusely last week, but she seems more like a toddler when she tries to interact, rather than a second grader. I think her trauma is leaving, but she has reverted to a younger, more innocent stage of development. It seems that she needs to grow up  again after all this, in some ways.

I'm just glad to see her getting over it and starting to communicate in a two-way manner once again.

I don't know, I am not sure of what an open university is. But then I don't know a lot about university in general, it has always been a "well, you're never going there anyway, so you don't need to know anything about it" subject.

I don't know if it's called an "open" university, but a lot of universities have online classes where you don't have to physically go to the building. Also, the one I went to didn't have a campus all in one place, it had buildings scattered throughout the downtown area, so it felt like part of the town.

There are lots of cool things you can do, though, that aren't socializing. Student ID gets you into all kinds of university shows and concerts and plays and speeches for free. Since we had film and special effects departments, my university used to bus us to special screenings of all the high-budget FX films when they came out, like LotR and Star Wars. And there are clubs for things like computer gaming, so if you do decide to socialize, you can at least know it's with people who are interested in the same things you are.

Today I've gone through the longest, most extensive eye examination I have ever had. Two and a half hours worth!! The doctor said that my vision  is 20/20. She was really trying her best to narrow down my astigmatism and give me the best updated prescription possible. She said that my eyes are very healthy, but my inability to focus up close in low light (like at work) is a non-negotiable part of being fifty-ish and I am "well ahead of the game."

YaY!

We also discovered that my perception of depth goes beyond the testing capability of her equipment. The smallest increment of change she can make is blatantly obvious to me. Proved it over and over again.

Yes, when I'm done looking at things.

I asked a lot of questions, too. I'm sure that slowed her down a bit.
I also got to see the very first imagery of my own retinas that has ever been captured.
Another thing that took a long time was the fact that the chemicals they use to dilated pupils, to enable them to inspect or photograph the retina did not work well on my eyes. Usually two drops in each eye makes people effectively blind for about an hour. She used twelve drops in each eye, waiting a bit between each dose, and still had to have me reposition my head while she captured the images. She generally does the scan in one panoramic shot, but she had to take three of mine, because they would not dilate.


"Weird,"  she noted.

She pulled out all her toys, not just a simple eye chart.

She had an old guy in her office complaining about his eyesight deteriorating and still blowing every test she came up with completely out of the water. I suppose I challenged her in some way. She was very nice and very patient. It was only my third eye test as an adult and she had lots of cool techie stuff.

I also asked if the letters should appear to enlarge toward one end, worried if that was a symptom of something. I had not yet realised that her eye chart was a projected image and there was a slight parallax. She was surprised that I could detect that and told me that the standard for parallax errors was 1.5 degrees and hers were calibrated to 0.6 degrees, "... besides, how do you know what parallax is?"  

I reminded her that I was a photographer at one time.

Aha, that sounds a lot more fun. My eyetests consist of me reading things out, so they can say I have above 20:20 eyesight. Now I have to pay for them I have decided to stop going. There just is no need for me.

I spot those parallax errors too, though I never bother to mention them. Somehow I tend to be more than content to have a boring conversation about school and life with whomever is doing the eye exam...

I only have had trouble seeing up close for about two years. This job, where I have to do work with three fourths of the lights off so that the corporate entity can "Be Green" (that's two stops of light or six dB of power less than when the store is open) has made me realise how much my eyes have changed. I have to read small printed instructions, assemble (and half the time, re-engineer) all kinds of shit, in low light quite often, in addition to using a little handheld PDA that has a screen smaller than my palm.

I bought the Top O' the Line, glare-free, scratch resistant coating, No-Line, rare earth infused, progressive diopter bi-focal lenses, mounted in the strongest titanium based wire frames and an additional "single focus, astigmatism correction only" pair of progressively brown tinted shades in the same frames.
It cost a small fortune, but it's my fucking eyes. I need them!

I'll be fifty three in the fall.

Wrangled with the utility company over the phone. Why the flying fuck do they send an email saying "There is an important message about your account, please call us at 1-866-...." instead of just putting in the email what the problem is?

Sounds like a scammer fishing for your info.  If it was legit, they would have sent something by snail mail.  We've gotten tons of them from the cable company, the banks, etc.  Call the utilities number that you get with your bill or find the consumer protection agency in your state and present the facts.  Good luck!

I hate that!

I've had the same problem with the gas company. I had forgotten to pay the bill and they wanted to warn me that they were going to cut my gas off if I didn't pay them in a couple of days. They could have put that in the email, FFS! I tried to call them and worked my way through their Son of Microsoft Sam, electronic voice menu twice to no end, when my phone battery went dead (Yes, I'm that fucking disorganized sometimes). I got very frustrated. The next morning, I received the first meaningful communication I had gotten from them in the form of a little yellow door tag, hung on a door we almost never use, stating that they had cut off my service for nonpayment (fucking Ooops!!) and that I would have to pay a deposit to get it turned back on.

Similar deal here, but I had a week to pay them.

And then on the phone, they tried to get me to go to their website and pay there. Look, whatever dumbass management type is behind this system, if you want to cut your costs by automating stuff online, and appeal to your geek customers, you do not make the phone an intermediary! Especially with an idiot salesguy who keeps trying to slap processing charges on me, and then telling me he's doing a special favor by waiving them, when I complain.

Had a sixty three year old man arrested and taken to jail on felony charges.

I saw a Nintendo Dance Pad in a cart and my sense of propriety told me that this old man was buying it as a gift. He probably doesn't dance much with a Nintendo.
Wait a minute, his grandkids are probably too old for a Nintendo Dance Pad (my Loss Prevention paranoia screams at me!)

He fucked up though. He placed the UPC barcode up (instead of the built-in carry handle, like everyone else), where the register clerk could scan it without touching it. Why would he do that?

I blocked his exit and insisted on inspecting his purchase. He had four $429 Logitech universal remotes, five pieces of Mac software totaling well over one thousand dollars, two wireless routers for Mac, $500 each, nine 8GB flash drives (nearly a hundred dollars per unit) six sticks of RAM (seventy two dollars per unit).

His theft would have been over five thousand dollars if I had not noticed hismistake of placing the handle DOWN.

Only problem is that i will be "Recognized"  for this .

GAWD! I hate having to be Recognized for doing my job. I really want a different job, anyway. I am qualified to the Geek Squad, awaiting an opening. Once again this is going to delay my getting into the areas in which I want to work.

Yeah. Know what you mean. Only solution I know is to take competence underground until you fit people's idea of a noob for the position you want. But that feels dicey - I don't want to have to live in a world where it's necessary to pretend to be an idiot in order to seek growth in a new area.

I did that to get the job in the first place. I was tired of hearing that I was "over-qualified for the position."

I can't do that continuously. I still scald the outer layers of skin off my upper body sometimes just to feel something, like this morning. I can't dumb down enough to fool the ones who know a bit about me at this point.

I'll have to wait for an opening.

The AC fan broke into a thousand pieces when I was driving home from work the other day. And that was literally a thousand pieces. They were everywhere in the system. I had to take it all apart and locate the larger ones before I dared to put in a new one. Sooner or later those pieces would have broken something else, perhaps even the new fan (actually an old one that I happened to have lying around).

Yay for me, though, because I got it all to work again. 8)

Wow, that's way too young to die!
I actually misjudged the old man's age by a decade at first. I admit that his looks led me to inspect his purchase fully. He was not well kept and "looked" too old for anything Nintendo related. If there were other instinctual perceptions, besides the upside-down handle, they were well beneath my conscious observations.

I think it's really cool when old people keep up with changing technology and he obviously has, but he took a criminal tack. I HAD to bust him.

He removed the big foam jigsaw puzzle of padding pieces and sensors/actuators from the box, ditched them in an area that is out of security camera view and went shopping again to re-fill the box with high dollar, small sized goodies.

Sounds like a good plan. Just a couple of thoughts, have you applied elsewhere in case of rejection (it can happen to anyone and everyone, regardless how good they are), and have you got an idea as to what you want to do after the degree?

No I haven't applied anywhere else, the bridging course is only run at one particular university here and the person I handed in my application to said it was very good. :)

I am not exactly sure what I want to do after the degree. As I want to talk to people about autism (not worldwide, haha, just locally), I want to better understand the human mind to I can do better at communicating ideas.

Maybe I am full of myself and an idiot for thinking I can do this, but I want to give it my best shot.

I would personally be looking myself at other courses just in case, but then I am a paranoid bugger. :P Good luck with getting that place, if they said it was very good, chances are that you have it.

And you are not being full of yourself at all, far from it. If you are after doing the speaking circuit, universities can be a good place to build up contacts, and your union might run a debating society of sorts so you can get practise at public speaking. Plus those societies can attract amazing public figures that come and give speeches, we had Patrick Stewart come up a year or so back (before my time, but meh).

I have no idea what an "eejit" could be or might look like, but in the one pic I've seen of you, you look pretty damn good, as "hot babes" go.
Looks should not matter, anyway. They took your photograph, most likely, for identification/record keeping purposes, only.

Tidied up after playing Plumber yesterday and replaced the insulation and vapor barrier where the plumbing leak soaked it through.

I ran a fan on it all day and night to help dry the wood flooring, then sealed it up.

I'm SO tired of crawlspaces right now! Fucking spidery as hell down there, this year, too. I don't mind them on me while I'm watching, but in the dark or with just a small light, it creeps out my brain and I leave rationality aside for a bit.

No I haven't applied anywhere else, the bridging course is only run at one particular university here and the person I handed in my application to said it was very good. :)

I am not exactly sure what I want to do after the degree. As I want to talk to people about autism (not worldwide, haha, just locally), I want to better understand the human mind to I can do better at communicating ideas.

Maybe I am full of myself and an idiot for thinking I can do this, but I want to give it my best shot.

No, you're not. I think you are fab. :)

I would personally be looking myself at other courses just in case, but then I am a paranoid bugger. :P Good luck with getting that place, if they said it was very good, chances are that you have it.
If I don't get in the course I will apply to do the STAT (Special Tertiary Admissions Test) which is a pretty difficult, from what I know. I am trying to avoid it but it is my Plan B.

And you are not being full of yourself at all, far from it. If you are after doing the speaking circuit, universities can be a good place to build up contacts, and your union might run a debating society of sorts so you can get practise at public speaking. Plus those societies can attract amazing public figures that come and give speeches, we had Patrick Stewart come up a year or so back (before my time, but meh).
Thanks for that info. :)  And Patrick Stewart! Awesome.

Went to the annual flea market at the local senior citizen center. Found some Fire King mugs for a .25, and alot of radically over-priced junk.

Had one elderly lady who kept trying to sell me raffle tickets to win this bright red hand-painted vase, another following me around trying to pick out stuff for me (no, please I do not want the shiny vinyl purse, it scares me ::) ) and the small mute one who kept glaring at me and re-straightening the piles of books in obsessive complusive fashion after I looked at them. Bought 3 tickets for the spooky looking vase, which with my luck, I'll probably win, hauled ass out of there and came home and cut grass.

Had to deal with receiving another award and ad libbing another a little impromptu speech in front of over one hundred people at a company meeting.

I did not know that they had the camera trained on me when they were prefacing the award. I was tasking the one, who works in my department, who I thought they were talking about, FFS.
They caught me by surprise and said that I had the best reaction of the day!

Punchline?

I looked back at the footage they all planned to submit to the corporate moviemaking assholes and pointed out that (for some reason - like maybe there IS actually a GAWD!!) that my pants were unzipped and they could not submit THIS footage or I will sue.

:D

I wouldn't sue, but I was saved by my own incompetence!

Met up with the girl I went to Arran with.  We were originally going to go swimming, but she changed her mind and decided to go ice skating instead, which she'd never done before, but she wanted to stop after about 30 minutes since her boots were hurting her and she was bored.  Hopefully things will go better next time we meet up.  On the way back (a 90 minute trip), I stopped and got some new figure-hugging t-shirts in size extra small.

I suppose I misunderstood the significance of your inclusion of the word, "plus" in your statement. I also now realise that you are referring to a different kind of scouting. I though that you were still talking in a "return to college" context.

What happened today sounds to me more like one possible "scouting" and one outright "scoping."  Anyway, keep in mind that to be successful as a model, a person does not have to be particularly photogenic or anything at all like normal. They only have to be interesting and not overly unpleasant looking. You are very interesting and more than pleasant to look at. Don't worry about that part.

I believe that the expression, "photogenic,"  is a most horrible term when used to describe how predictably appealing a specific facial structure might appear to be when misrepresented in a two dimensional rendering. The well qualified artists working with live models in two dimensions have an incredible number of tools at their disposal, many of which are quite effective in allowing an artist to create a powerful illusion of that missing third dimension and implying missing dimensional information well beyond illusion OR reality in a flat art medium.

Remember, you can not asses your "looks"  in a photograph by the same flipped-around-backwards standard you are accustomed to seeing when you look in a mirror.  Might work if your face was one hundred per cent perfectly symmetrical to the finest detail, but then you would not be human.

Be careful of any modeling agent who does not present you with a portfolio of working models they have represented in the past.

My mum was looking into getting cavity wall insulation, but I read up on it, and it looked like it could lead to problems with dampness, so she's not going to bother.  The government is pushing it with grants as a way to meet EU emissions standards, but a lot of people are reporting problems after getting it done, especially when they have houses built in the 20's and 30's like this house was, which were built without vertical damp-proof courses.

Given I am in a very prestigious one, yes. Sometimes the admissions systems screw up and it takes about a month for the fact you have an offer or a place to come through the system, which is why it can be worth phoning and finding out.

Yelled at some guy handing out flyers on the street because he chased me even after I said I wasn't interested.

He came after me saying, "I don't mean you any harm."

I said, "I don't think you mean me harm, but I'm not interested in whatever it is."

He said, "That's not a very good attitude, ma'am. Do you think you're better than me?" At which point I realized that he was going to walk away thinking I was being rude to him because he was black, when I just don't like random strangers being aggressive with advertizing. I didn't even know this kind of subtext existed until a black friend kept insisting on it.

I said, "I don't think I'm better than you," and walked away.

I fucking hate people who assume it must be all about the pigment level in your skin.

You have a black friend that thinks that "YOU think" that you are better than him/her?

That doesn't really sound like a friend.

... or do you mean that this person insisted that this demographic existed, in spite of your own naivete.



(I was once very naive. I was not taught to hate and when I discovered racism, I was appalled)
Title: Re: What have you done today?
Post by: Pyraxis on July 29, 2008, 07:52:23 PM
I used to think racism didn't exist anymore, because I hadn't seen it and was taught in school (Canada) that it was a thing of the past.

I've since been corrected, but I suppose like any healing process, those affected think about it for far longer than those around them. Leading to situations like today where race hadn't even entered my mind until my brushing-off reaction was taken badly by the flyers guy.

I don't know if the friend thinks I think I'm better than them or not. All I know is they're really sensitive about race issues and say they're persecuted because of their race a lot. I haven't a clue to what degree it's true, but it seems awfully similar to victim thinking. Like whenever someone does something rude - oh - it must be because they're black. Not because the stranger was having a bad day, or any number of other perfectly mundane reasons. And I recognized this guy in the street getting offended in a similar way.

It was at 3:55 p.m., I think- One year, two days, four hours, and nine minutes ago, if my math is right.  Someone nearby was playing late 90's pop breakup songs the entire time- the one I remember specifically was "I want it that way" by the backstreet boys.

I can remember it because it was the last day in July; the time I remember because train schedules were involved.  The song I remember because it was funny.

I'm not absolutely positive I have it yet, but Human Resources called and indicated that I will get it, telling me that I need to bring my Social Security card, my driver's license, and a voided check for direct deposit after I officially get and accept the offer.  It is the same job I have been doing as a volunteer for over a year, which is riding a bus with my daughter and some other autistic children to two autism schools about a ninety minute ride from where we live.  I started riding with just my daughter and a driver, but then the school district added another child to the bus so of course I looked after her as well.  Now the school district plans to add one or two more kids to the bus and they decided they needed to hire someone to watch over the children instead of just having me volunteer, so I applied for the job.

I started riding the bus with her when she started attending the autism school because the transportation department wanted to transport her only if they were allowed to attach her to her seat with a harness.  My husband and I argued that would have been inappropriate for her because she would fight being restrained like this, she would do everything she could to figure out how to remove the harness, and she would act out in ways they never considered because of being upset over the restraint.  She would wear a seat belt without any problem, because she was used to wearing that, but not a harness.  Also, at this time, she had never in her life taken off her seat belt in a moving vehicle, so harnessing her into her seat was not logically justified.  I told them that I would ride the bus with her rather than have her restrained like this.  They sent me a certified letter saying that they would transport her without the harness if I was available to ride with her both ways every day, but the certified letter also threatened to call the police if she acted up and would not cooperate with having the harness put on her, or if I would not do it.

It's kind of ironic, in a way.  I was called into a meeting with the Transportation department and the Student Services department because, shortly after I broke my finger, my daughter took off her seat belt and pulled the driver's hair and also took off the seat belt again after I put a safety clip on it that is supposed to keep children from removing their seat belts and pulled the other little girl's hair.  I was expecting them to insist again that she wear the harness, or else they wouldn't transport her.  In the meeting, I told them that my daughter never took off her seat belt until she saw the other little girl on the bus take hers off first and they seemed shocked.  I don't know why that was so shocking to them.  The driver had requested a safety clip to prevent this little girl from taking off her seat belt because she did it again one day when my daughter and I didn't ride the bus and it scared the driver badly.  Why would she ask for such a thing unless it was needed and why could her boss not put this together?

Anyway, the brand new head of Student Services listened carefully to everyone and then decided they needed to hire and train a paraprofessional to ride the bus.

I'm glad they decided to hire someone (especially that it was you, since you were volunteering anyway). I'm against unnecessary restraint for kids.

 :plus: for standing up for your daughter. This ought to go in fighting examples.

sadly, i get them cos it's all i can afford, and because i always get the littlest engine size possible.  anyway, i only use the wretched thing about once a week, and less when i'm not working, so i don't need (or want) anything flashy.

Wasn't there a semi-cute Vulcan girl in that series?

I remember seeing Seven of Nine's image (Jeri Ryan) Photoshopped into some porn scenes, once. I recognised the 'shopping immediately and I wondered where they found a porn star with a body so much like her's.

Well I downloaded DVDRips from eMule, only to realise that they have been re-released in new, cheaper packaging here. So I'm gonna end up buying them anyway. I have all TNG, DS9 and VOY plus all the movies on DVD. Just waiting to see if they do a re-packaging of TOS Remastered before I commoit to buying that as well.

Are you sure that you should be giving advice on getting into university?
Given I am in a very prestigious one, yes. Sometimes the admissions systems screw up and it takes about a month for the fact you have an offer or a place to come through the system, which is why it can be worth phoning and finding out.

trouble is, i tend to knit while i'm "watching" films, so i don't see all of them.  that makes it a bit difficult to follow, when i might miss some of what's going on visually, for clues.

Cleaned my apartment and organized, went downtown and looked and in a store that sells vintage toys and magazines, rode the shuttle buses to see what route it took since they closed the steel bridge to work on the new train line. I got to talk to a woman who is from Montana after hearing her say she is from there.

Went to check the mail to see if what I am waiting for is there (uni details) but there were only bills.
Do you know if they have accepted you yet? If they are taking time it might be worth giving them a call.
Are you sure that you should be giving advice on getting into university?
Given I am in a very prestigious one, yes. Sometimes the admissions systems screw up and it takes about a month for the fact you have an offer or a place to come through the system, which is why it can be worth phoning and finding out.
I didn't have to phone them, I got the mail the next day. We have had the orientation and official classes start next week.  :o
Excellent :)

They do seem to start early over there, my terms don't start until October...
Thanks.  ;D

I think our terms differ because our Christmas/New Year holidays are at the same time as our summer holidays. The beginning of the year is also the start of the school year.

I haven't done much today, I will visit my mum later.

Good good. Definitely a movie aimed at the younger audience, but die hard Star Wars fans like me can still enjoy it. I'd say it's more of a family movie than the others. Lot's of cutesy moments that supposed 'real' men will hate, but yeah, what are ya gonna do.

The boys loved it and were quite pumped up afterwards of course.

Had a quick look around. It annoys me to no end how it's asking an extra question or two if I want to install something. FFS, if I put a CD in my drive, it is my plan to do *something* with it. And wtf happened to compatibility? Lots of things I need to do just to get a game designed for XP to run, from compatibility mode to running it as admin to having to tell the stupid firewall to make an exception. Just to get it to run, at all.

Yes, the girl looks nice, definitely, but she can't do a whole lot about her DNA. The signs are all there.

i've never actually been there, and it's really called kingston bagpuize, but you can see why i re-named it, and i always cheer and call out when i drive past.  yep, mental.  i'm easily pleased (sometimes...)   :green:

That's why you have test machines and try every combination of shit to make it break. Then you know what works and what doesn't.

Most of the time its shitty 3rd partys apps or crap drivers that bring windows down. So be careful and choosy about what you install and its all good.

Isn't that what they tried to do with Vista? I know audio drivers are shit house compared to XP, not to mention all the crap that happened for ages re video drivers. With audio drivers, most companies just didn't even bother unless it was the very latest audio chip. I think only Realtek came to the table there, and Creative very reluctantly. I mean there was that fiasco with that guy who hacked their drivers to get more functionality out them.

I'd be more inclined to give Linux a serious try if they could get things like Dolby Digital Live and DTS Connect working there.

I think they tried separating the kernel and user spaces in Vista, yes, but since Vista is not a complete rewrite of the Windows kernel, AFAIK, it doesn't prove anything, really. But certainly if you look at the new folder structure, they've been glancing at the 'nix way of things.

I'd be more inclined to give Linux a serious try if they could get things like Dolby Digital Live and DTS Connect working there.

Both of those are proprietary techniques so Linux won't support them until Dolby or DTS release their specs, or when a particularly good programmer finds a way to hack them. Dolby especially is in Microsoft's pocket so it probably won't happen anytime soon. :(

Linux will crash on the basis of a faulty driver, in fact I have had loads of problems with it due to that reason. Plus programs themselves seem to crash more often on it, I haven't had much fun with Firefox on there.

All over the Intergeeks anyway, mate. The punishment comes when you've installed it all and it fucks up, which Windows will inevitably do.

That's why you have test machines and try every combination of shit to make it break. Then you know what works and what doesn't.

Most of the time its shitty 3rd partys apps or crap drivers that bring windows down. So be careful and choosy about what you install and its all good.

There's something seriously wrong with an OS that will crash because of a misbehaving user space application.
Linux will crash on the basis of a faulty driver, in fact I have had loads of problems with it due to that reason. Plus programs themselves seem to crash more often on it, I haven't had much fun with Firefox on there.

I've used Linux since the mid-90s and don't recognise this at all. A kernel module that is misbehaving can bring down the OS, yes, but that's quite rare. I think I've managed to make it happen a dozen or so times, mostly because I'm running an unstable/experimental distro and upgrade everything very often.

If you compile the stuff yourself it's a bit different because you can cause kernel panic if you do it wrong. Compile a kernel and link to the file system module rather than including it will cause kernel panic, for example, but that's not something I'd blame on Linux.

As for programs crashing, nope, I don't recognise that either. Firefox is a lot more stable on my Debian Linux than it is on my Windows XP work laptop. The same goes with most of the programs I use, form email clients to OpenOffice.

What distro did you run, and what drivers (assuming you're talking about kernel modules, btw) caused it to crash?

I ran Ubuntu EEE, and it went disasterously. The network settings atm refuse to give my access to the higher level features. Looks like I have to go back to Win XP, when I can afford it.

That's not a crash. It's probably simple enough to fix. Could be a permissions issue, now that I think of it.

Well what worked for us in the end was that considering we were both in government housing, we served our landlord with a breach of lease. As part of a standard lease agreement here, the landlord has to provide quiet enjoyment. So that lit a fire under the housing commission's arse and they served them with an eviction notice.

We had the cops around for some unrelated thing long after they were kicked out and we stood around and noticed how it had been so long since we had seen them (they usually were around quite often every week) and how glad we were that they were no longer there. They were such a drain on local police resources.

Set up a couple of socket timers.  Now, my blue LED room lights will come on at 7am and go off at 10pm, and hopefully will help me to keep my sleep pattern semi-stable, and I've set my rechargeable electronics (electric toothbrush, shaver, video camera etc) to recharge for a few hours each day, rather than constantly, which should save a little on electricity.  I've tried using timers before, but it was always with cheap mechanical timers that use plastic pins inserted in a dial, and I couldn't stand the constant chittering sound they made, so I've got electronic ones now that are silent.

Bunked off college today  :green:

I am so fucking clever.  My mum has gone to Poland for a few days so it's just me, my sisters and my stepdad.  So I hatched up a scheme with my youngest sister  :laugh:  She doesn't want to stay at the neighbour's house after school (my and my other sister finish school late today) so I decided I will bunk off today and call my stepdad, sometime around brak time (i.e. now) and pretend my Politics teacher is sick so that it would appear that I finish early.  I looked for clips of people talking in a school enviroment on youtube and played it up loud and called my stepdad from home.  He fell for it  :green:  So here I am  :zoinks:

Have to get dressed though and go out for a while because he has a tendency to come home for his lunch break and I don't want to be caught out.

I got to drive a BIG truck!

I had called to talk to my supervisor, who was working the night shift last night (few people know that a BB store runs constantly) to try and claim some of the hours left over from a guy calling in sick this week (No one seems to know what's wrong with him. He has called off work quite a bit lately and my uneducated diagnosis of his condition is Alcoholic Liver Disease, just from looking at the poor bastard.), and a funny thing had happened.

One of the truck drivers had slipped and fallen, busting his head and tearing about a fourth of his scalp off. He left for the emergency room and his truck was still at the dock. None of the other truck drivers would touch it, preferring to wait the whole episode out, since they are Union and get paid for waiting for a dock slot.

With three trucks waiting to unload in the back lot (where the bull was almost killed), the night crew was getting anxious. None of the regular guys who work the shift even knew how to start the damn thing.

I told him I can drive a truck! "Do you have the key set?"  I showed up around two AM, got the whole story, played grab-ass a bit then got the truck out of the way. Basically, I got paid for an hour to drive a truck two hundred feet.

:LMAO:

I spent the first five hours of the day concluding my second Sleep Study, which included having to where a CPAP all night. Talk about uncomfortable. I just noticed I still have some of the glue from one of the sensors in my hair. It's like having gum in there and it won't come out. :grrr:

Hate that shit. I've had that done before, too, except it was done in a lab room at an institution in the old days. Kind of like being in a hotel room, but if you wake up wanking they can see you through the mirror.
 :lol:




(wait a minute - hotel rooms aren't like that are they?)

had a bit of a retail therapy sesh this morning.

pictures of sexy shoes (bargain from a charity shop) and not-so-sexy shoes (docs, had to be done) coming soon, on the "what have you bought recently?" thread.

then other vitals - a bargain set of towels and a new wok, as my old one is not so much dying as dead; ditto a pair of black leggings.

sigh...

considering today is only 04.30 (if that makes sense), so far, i have:

1) had an abortive attempt at sleep, and managed two hours, due to the fact that i...
2) ...scratched most of my epidermis off (feels like);
3) got up, had cig and drink, coughed a lot (yes, yes, i know);
4) slapped gloop all over myself, and took an antihistamine, in the hopes the itching would stop;
5) got back into bed, then suddenly thought of something which wasn't where it should be (see below);
6) searched the fucking house looking for it (obsessive?  me?);
7) gave up on the idea of getting back to sleep;
8 ) made another drink (chai) and got on here;
9) coughed a lot more.  ::)

well, how fun-packed can a day be?

so, the thing i couldn't find is the bullet bit of my rock chick (vibrator-y thing - i blame PMS Elle for reminding me about sex toys), and it should've been in one of three places: by my bed, in the drawer, or in the bathroom (where i clean it - TMI, possibly, but i've had no sleep, so tough :P ).  is it in any of those places?  is it fuck.  nor is it in the kitchen dresser, the washing machine (you don't want to know what's in my head, sometimes), down the back of the sofa cushions (ditto), etc., etc.

the only thing i can think of is that my nice neighbour let himself in to get his stuff out of the loft yesterday, while i was out, and has either taken it for a laugh (unlikely), or trodden on it, broke it, and is now fretting like fuck because he can't think of a non-embarrassing way to let me know!  or, and far more boring, he thought it was a lighter (it's purple, and looks like a small clipper-type lighter) and has pocketed it, and that one cheers me immensely, cos i'd love to be there when he tries to light his cigar with it.  :LMAO:  i suppose the vibrations could cause enough friction, eventually...

the most annoying thing is that i have to wait at least 2 hours before he's likely to be up, so i can't ring him.  /stims madly.

so, that's me so far today.  i'll keep you posted re: developments, shall i?

JEEEZZEZ!

:hugs back, careful not to touch any gloopy places:

Sounds like a few of my nights, except for the E'ma or the drink. I just started to have a drink again a few nights ago. Couldn't stand the smell for about a month.

Dreams have been horrible lately. I'm killing horses again, FFS.
I've dug this gigantic pit and I have to euthanise a hundred or so horses. I walk them to the edge and pop a cap in their ears and watch as they fall in slow motion in some kind of bizarre tetris order. I have to shoot them in just the right body stance to get them to fall properly or the hole will fill up too quickly.

I hate this fucking dream, but I've had it for years.

I think that it's in your bedroom, but you have overlooked it because it is not where you can see it, like maybe it went under the bed or fell into a shoe.

Yes, it's not the fact that it's lost, it's the wondering wtf happened to it.    8)  It's the "what happened" that bothers me more than the fact that it's lost/broken/etc. 

I believe the term is "closure".

I shaved Waggy.  Mum got electric shears for her a while ago, and I've been gradually getting her used to it.  Today, she stood still long enough for me to shave most of her back and sides, and only needed minimal coercion.  We have to clean gunk out of her eyes twice a day, and we've trained her to associate it with getting a treat, so that now she'll run down the stairs to have her eyes wiped, and hopefully she'll become equally enthusiastic about getting trimmed.  I think she gets quite hot and uncomfortable when her fur gets long, and keeping it short also makes it easier to clean, since she often rolls in fox scat and cow pats.

Woke up late.  I've slept for 11 hours a night for the past couple of nights, and I'm not sure why.

Do you get out of the house much?

No, not much at all.

Probably why then. Maybe its a variation on cabin fever. (Yeah I just watched the Mythbusters Alaska episode the other day).

What's it like on the Wii? We have LEGO Star Wars and LEGO Star Wars II for the PC. I know they kinda jazzed up the prequel levels to LSW2 quality.

It's actually the first time that she has done so.  It's both nerve wracking and nice to have the house to myself and NOT Subject myself to the Fair's sensory overload.  She just called me few minutes ago asking for more time.  She forgot that she had until 4pm or so, but, it made me feel a little better that she is aware of the time and that she is with her friends. 

Yeah, mushy protective dad here!   ::)  :P

I guess so, the local fair is a huge event here and very stressful for me even in the best of times.  The roads are clogged for miles and all that jazz.  But, if I don't have to go because Amber can handle it and be with friends AND show responsibility then it's all good.

I grabbed nine large black plastic garbage bags, a roll of black electrical tape (I always have a blade with me) and carried them out to a huge pile of leaves as a project I could do with the kids.

I filled one bag loosely and sealed it up with tape, then roughly divided it into one fourth and three fourth parts. I wrapped the tape around the division and set it aside.

I split the eight remaining bags along both sides, unfolded them, re-rolled them side-ways into very long bags, not so large in diameter, re-sealed them along the sides with plenty of tape and then loosely packed them with leaves.  I put a few sticks lengthwise (to help them stand up) into the eight long bags, divided them using tape into roughly one half, one third, one sixth to make legs and assembled them with the big bag I had set aside into one GIANT BLACK SPIDER, which now sits waiting for trick-or-treaters in my front yard.

I added curved sticks for fangs, white rocks for eyes, a few streaks of red (on the fangs and eyes) and brown (to create texture) paint and we have something like a "leafman" (instead of snowman) Scare-Spider (instead of scarecrow) lurking hungrily, waiting for kids to walk by on Halloween night.


Seasonal decorating is very much out of character for me, but I really enjoyed doing this with/for the kids.

I used to work on a joint program with Germany and my whole program would travel all over the US and Germany for meetings, such that I was on the road two weeks out of every month. Average cost per trip was about $2,000. Add in the waste from jet fuel and rental car gas and it was ridiculous. Fortunately, I got fired from that program last summer.

Being there in person has a lot better effect than being there by video. It allows you to connect a lot better with your audience, which means your message is going to go down so much more. Well worth the carbon cost with the airfare in practise.

Got four pages of reference drawings from a museum exhibit on ancient Assyria, plus some other good stuff from Africa and Asia.

Did you do the drawings or is it something you ordered? Are they like a floor plan or lay out type thing for the exhibit?

Did the drawings myself. The idea is to get reference material for 3d models and world design.

There were detailed low-relief friezes with lots of examples of costume and weaponry. I also got a chariot design and a fairly detailed model of how gear was attached to a pack camel in China - they even accurately sculpted the knots. There were all shapes and sizes of pottery from various periods - like around 5000 BC in Egypt they discovered that if you fire a red clay pot partially buried in the ashes, the part under the ashes gets a black and shiny finish.

There were also all kinds of cuneiform records, detailing the purchase of slaves and such with names given, so I got some good lists of ancient names of everyday people. Even names of dogs - the Assyrians would make figurines of dogs, inscribe them with their names, and bury them in the foundation of a house to protect it.

Personally, I used to be awful talking in front of groups. My Master’s Thesis Defense and PhD. Qualifier Oral Exams were like a deer in headlights. I could have been asked my name and would have struggled to answer. My mind went elsewhere and couldn’t focus.

In my job, which I have been doing for over nine years, I am the lead Environment, Safety, and Occupational Health (ESOH) person on my program and have to present to the approval board to get the program approved for use. I have actually gotten quite good and presenting in these formal meetings. I also have to brief the ESOH status of the program periodically at program reviews. So I don’t have a problem with presenting in person.

My problem stems from my sensory issues, stimming, and other quirks. My light sensitivity is so bad that I cannot function in lighted rooms, especially where fluorescents are being used, so I wear a hat, and until recently wore my sunglasses. Otherwise, not only can I not see the presentation due to the glare, but I get massive headaches. This is off-putting to many “professionals”, especially older people. This year I bought prescription glasses that are tinted and polarized, so I can deal with my light sensitivity and not look like I am trying to be cool. If there is a coffee pot brewing in the room, or even an open mug, forget it. I will get nauseated, my eyes will burn, and I will get very agitated. You know how many meetings I go to where nobody is drinking coffee? None! My legs and/or feet are constantly moving around and I fidget with my hands, usually with an Orange Tic-Tac box. So I can really get on other people’s nerves.

I much prefer a video or phone conference. Even better is just using e-mail, since I am still uncomfortable talking on the phone.

No, I find it more enjoyable to listen to in the first place (so I pay more attention!). Especially when their remarks are actually tailored to the people in the room as opposed the generic general population. Its even better when you get to ask questions of course.

I was assuming that the self-proclaimed eco type people Lucifer was talking about who are forever flying round the world to attend conferences were NT but even my husband finds most of communication is nonverbal.  When he was teleconferencing, he was unaware that some of the people in the room were making rolling eye faces while he was talking, then continuing the conversation after he thought the meeting was over and making decisions behind his back.  He found out this after he had someone he trusted sit in on one of the meetings while he teleconferenced.  After that, he flew up there to attend these meetings in person.

Correct, I did say that they are saying something a lot more meaningful. Why? They can actually (a) target their audience (b) know its less likely to enter the media and (c) are not going to be censored/moderated by the media. Plus there are little or no other distractions.

However you do have body language to go on too which does allow most people to better judge the honesty in what they are saying. You also the get the bonus of them being more easily being able to highlight the key points, meaning you can spend more energy and effort considering the complexities.

Why else would people often pay £100's and travelling a long way to see someone, when they could listen to a cassette or watch a video? Because the benefits are very real.

The benefits aren't necessarily in factual data. We're most of us hardwired to respond emotionally to human nonverbals. So yeah, it's going to feel richer and more meaningful, whether or not it actually is.

Many people prefer to watch a TV news bite than a written article, even though the article transmits more facts. On TV you get to watch someone tell it to you, in situ.

It all depends on what you find meaningful.

Its not the quantity of facts that a present, but the number of facts you retain. Even more to the point, its what and how much you can do with them after the event (be it reading an article, watching TV or going to the speech). You could watch a news bulletin or read an article and it be a complete waste of time. For a speech that you have paid to go to, its likely you will have gone away and have learnt something useful. Even better you can return inspired.

i've done more or less fuck all today, due to a pooter which decided to be ill, and the only way to make it better was to sit and wait for it to run a program which took forever, and didn't work for the first FIVE goes.  and then my nice neighbour wanted a letter typed, and it took over an hour, by which time, i had to plan my seminar for tomorrow, needed to eat and have a sleep.  so, i still have 14 bags of stuff i don't want cluttering up my house and getting in the way, still have to go out and get petrol and various other stuff, wash my hair and stop panicking.

After a year in the program I had to leave after knocking up the old ball and chain. It will someday be Physics. I still keep in touch with my advisor and recently we discussed having me come back, finally, next year. Barring a bunch of family medical, or other, issues like I’ve had this year.

Its not the quantity of facts that a present, but the number of facts you retain. Even more to the point, its what and how much you can do with them after the event (be it reading an article, watching TV or going to the speech). You could watch a news bulletin or read an article and it be a complete waste of time. For a speech that you have paid to go to, its likely you will have gone away and have learnt something useful. Even better you can return inspired.

Hold on, are you telling me people can't be inspired by the written word?

I agree that the number of facts retained is more relevant than the number of facts present, but you've given no evidence that people retain more facts from listening to a speaker than from reading an article (to simplify the issue grossly). Why is it "likely that you will have gone away and have learnt something useful"? You've just rephrased your argument.

Do a little research on learning styles - the methods by which people retain the most facts vary person to person.

The benefits aren't necessarily in factual data. We're most of us hardwired to respond emotionally to human nonverbals. So yeah, it's going to feel richer and more meaningful, whether or not it actually is.

In other words, you're paying more and/or expending more effort for a medium in which the facts are more likely to be obscured by appeals to emotion.  Hitler's political rallies would have been far less effective if he'd merely distributed the material in written form, to be scrutinised by sober minds, but with banners, flags, uniforms and throngs of people standing shoulder to shoulder and gazing up into a pulpit, he was able to bypass people's critical faculties and sell them a load of bullshit.  Perhaps the only real value to be gained from going to these things is that you can meet potentially useful people there, introduce yourself and swap contact information, which is marginally more difficult to do without a face-to-face meeting.

Having someone in person tends to be more inspirational than simply reading articles by them, well for most people anyway.
 
I have actually read up on learning styles - well its a little lie, in fact I downloaded a load of audio programs recently. The thing with an article is that it only caters to one type of learner - the visual type. In order to learn really you should be combining several types of learning, and above all you learn best when relaxed and engaged. A targeted speech has so much more of an effect than an article which may or may not have relevant facts in. Especially if its one of several 100 you need to read.

One big thing I have missed off though is the conversation you get with fellow delegates/audience members. Again, they aid the learning process.

A more accurate comparison than an article would probably be a book by a good author vs a speech by a good presenter. An article is more on the level of an audio recording.

But this is beside the point. The emotional appeal behind something has little to do with the factual content. So sure, hearing something in person may be inspiring, but that doesn't make it more factually accurate. Retaining information won't do you much good if it's not accurate information. Especially when it comes to political speeches, you have to take inspiration with a major grain of salt.

Emotion is key to learning, the same middle brain that manages the hormone system and emotions is responsible for controlling learning.

As for political speeches, I tend to be very critical when listening to them. Though I prefer to sit and absorb a little more when its a speaker I already know that I ideologically agree with for the most part.

Okay... so what exactly is your point here? That you are critical of those you disagree with and accepting of those you agree with? This is true of most people actually and is one of the keys to bias. You'd stand a better shot of developing your thinking by critically examining the positions you already accept.

At any rate it doesn't demonstrate that you are learning anything new at a political debate you are attending in person. If you already ideologically agree with the speaker, you're there for the entertainment and inspiration.

I don't know.  I've been carefully nurturing this one, and it's had a few nasty bouts of mites that nearly killed it and required pesticide treatments, so I've not had an opportunity to sample it yet.  I won't harvest anything from it until it's quite a bit bigger and healthier, and given the lack of light over the winter, it's not going to grow much for the next 6 months.  I've got some seeds, but I've not been able to germinate any so far.  I got this one as a live plant about a year ago.

Well, I have tried to get a job with NASA for years. Living just south of Washington DC makes it difficult enough to get into any other industry but what I am in, but NASA is a bit insestuous. Even when they were hiring a bunch after the Columbia disaster, I still never got an interview, despite two of the positions I applied for being perfect fits with my education and experience. My hopes are that if I finally get back and finish my PhD., I will be able to use that to get my foot in the door, since I will be working directly with folks at NASA on my research. But it is all a big if. I still have to keep my current job to pay the bills and support four other people. They will pay for my continuing education, but then I am committed for three more years. I may be able to get my tuition covered by grants my advisor gets from NASA, but then I still have to find the time to do my real job and school work. School is one hour SW of my home and work is one hour E from my home. In other words, opposite directions. I don’t know, I have been talking about this for five years. I make real good money with what I am doing now, but I hate it. Plus, I will always feel like a failure if I never finish my PhD. That had been my goal since I was ten.

I studied physics, but that was close to twenty years ago, specialising in astronomy (did a paper on quasars as studied by VLBI, and otherwise occupied myself with the life and times of stars). Never made it to a PhD, though, knowing that I wouldn't be able to find work in the field here.

You sold your Walking Liberty silver dollar and put your house on the market?

Things must be pretty bad for you then.

Watched the end of the Red Sox win, tried to go to bed, got up and :wanker: to try to help fall asleep, went to bed, was awoken by kids, fed kids, had Froot Loops, tried to sleep some more, finally got up, watched my Alma Mater (Miami Hurricanes) lose, played LEGO Star Wars - The Complete Saga on Wii, ate dinner, put kids to bed, watched Total Drama Island, and am now watching Naruto.

I made a primitive-style pumpkin cake using whole wheat, from a pioneer's recipe when I came from work. (local pumpkins are cheap as dirt, right now)

It's still too hot to glaze, but it smells wonderful!

The modern-ish cream cheese glaze may not last untit's cool enough.

It's just too good and seems popular with the kidds, topping a box pudding. I can make another batch of glaze, though, if I need.

Waggy got to be fierce at the beach.  She met a couple of much larger dogs; they were probably about 5 times her weight, and they were young and boisterous, and Waggy kept having to avoid being knocked over and trampled by them, which made her nervous, but after a while she started to assert herself by snapping her jaws in the air at them, after which they kept a respectful distance and she became a lot more confident.  She be quite plucky when the mood takes her.

Saved a salamander.

When I had been at work about an hour (still dark outside), two of the teens who work in the media section were "ON ABOUT SOMETHING"  and I had buttloads of shit to do, so I tried to ignore them. They were hootin' and hollerin'  about something, when finally one of them came over and said I should come see this weird wet lizard they found.

You probably know the look I gave him. After about a minute of stammering the kid could still not produce a discernible answer to the question, "WTF are you talking about?"  I decided to investigate all the noise. These two teen age boys had this poor, cold, drying salamander trapped in a corner. It had obviously scurried in from the storm last night and, since it could not find water inside a BB store, it was in rough shape, with hair, bits of cardboard and dust bunny nests clinging to it, and all that made so much worse by the two teens poking at it with a three foot long, plastic screwdriver thingy that is normally used to adjust the overhead display projectors.
I grabbed the thing and whacked them both in the shins (playfully, but dreaming that it was a machete), reached down and picked the salamander up. They both went, "EEEEeeeeeeeeeeWWWWwwwwwwwwww!"

Honestly, where the hell have these kids been all their lives?

It was a big one! There is a pet store nearby, so my first thought was that it was an escapee, but I only wanted to set it free. On my way out to find wet ground with this enormous critter, only one other of the seven people who were working there, knew what it was. So, I asked him if he wanted to try a lick? He cringed. (I doubt he even knows anything about the psychotropic alkaloid compounds their skin exudes)
This salamander was longer than my forearm and almost as big in diameter as my wrist. We're talking about probably a six or seven year old great, great, great grandfather of a "wet lizard" that I was quickly shuttling to safety outside, back to the wild.


I was a real hero today to an old salamander! I don't mind that he tried to bite my finger off (they don't have strong jaw muscles or teeth) at all, but it showed me that he still wanted desperately to live on.

-Working on playing my songs on electric guitar with drums (bass and hi-hat) and vocals.
-Changing the strings on my SG: I will now play in a good tuning for slide and it will not go out of tune.
-Posting a lot on sites like this one.
-Walking the dog.
-Watching music videos on youtube, and posting them on these sites whenever I can find an excuse.
-Eating stuff with cheese in it.
-Plans to go bar-hopping in Chinatown with my brother later on.  We like to go to the places where no one is speaking English.
-Might go play some pool after that.

gave two seminars; met with an ex-student/friend for coffee and gossip; spent two hours chatting with some of my current students.

oh and discovered what at least some of my current students think of me.  while my friend was waiting outside for me to finish my first seminar, he heard some students talking, and wondered if they were mine.  the first lad said, "she's fucking mental!", to which his friend replied, "yeah, but she's fucking brilliant."  my friend said he thought, "yep - that's lucifer's group."  :LMAO:

isn't that nice?  i took it as a real compliment.   :green:

and i have at least one aspie in one of my groups.  but then, i alway do - they always find their way into my groups, and the groups are sorted merely by timetabling criteria.  i reckon my witchy aspie magnet is working again, though, eh?  ;)

Oddly, I found a shopping basket (one of ours - but we don't sell any of this stuf, except ipods) full of weirdness, in our back lot when I left work, today, left to drift up against the fender of my car. I would have ignored it, but it was blocking my car. I had to move it. My curiousity got the better of me, when I looked at its contents.

I thought at first it was something left behind from one of the other workers, who maybe had been moving residence. No one claimed it or knew anything about it.

I then thought of a homeless thief - but the contents were very strange - there were blankets, clothes, electronica, bags of spices ...

Interesting items inside were ... a professional Motorola headset, with attached microphone, like you see television sportscasters wearing during the shows (guessing - about four hundred bucks), three fairly decent knives (one is a Case lock-back blade, nice, expensive, like a hundred bucks), an Ipod Classic (two fifty), fancy Italian style dress shoes, a Gucci necktie, a bag of pot, several boyish CDs, fancy-looking shades, Movado watch, a cheap wedding band (male)  ...

I put the Case knife, wedding band and the ipod in my pocket, but ignored the rest.

It's bugging me, though. It was like a mysterious cross section of an unknown life I peered into, then decided it held no interest for me.
It bugged me enough that I went back to either get the rest or call the police, but it was gone.

I still have the wedding band, Case knife, and the ipod. The ipod is not new, shows some wear, but it is completely empty and fully charged.
The Case knife has what looks like a factory edge on it, sharpish, but no sign of ever having felt a hone.
The wedding band (I checked it with my kit - it's 22k gold) is well worn.

Started fairing my boat...  I'm going to finish it as much as I can with the supplies I have on hand.  Then, I'm going to give it to my Mom when she comes up for Thanksgiving.  Since we're probably going to be selling the house and moving, I can't have a boat kicking around.  I should be able to finish it to the point where all she'll have to do is paint it.

We're probably going to have a garage sale this weekend to try to get rid of as much stuff as possible.  I want to get down to a backpack of stuff.  Or at least a car load.  We'll see.

Cool. Thanks to a change in environment, I got myself on a schedule the past couple weeks where I ran for a half hour every morning. That's better than I've been able to do yet; usually I alternate running and walking.

I do better later on in the day; I don't like to eat much in the mornings, so my muscles don't have much glycogen to burn early in the day and I tire quickly.  After I've eaten something reasonably substantial in the afternoon, my endurance increases and stays high through the evening.

Now the weather's starting to become difficult with winter setting in; it's raining more frequently, there's less daylight and the air is colder, which makes my ears and jaw ache and chills my lungs when I run.

Not a lot. Dropped off daughter at school. Toyed with Outlook. Opened and closed documents. Pretended to work. Talked to colleagues. Opened and closed more documents. Toyed with Outlook some more. Pretended to work.

Exciting, I know.

When you say toyed with Outlook, I just image you install it and Outlook gets all excited thinking that you are going to use it, only for you to uninstall it a few hours later laughing manically.  :evillaugh:

Unfortunately it's still installed. The alternative is Novell Groupwise, probably the worst email client since, well, before Outlook.

I might say, "Bummer,"  because of a break-up, but I know that you have just opened a huge door with many wonders just past. You'll be fine.

If you have worn the article of clothing, get it back, just in case. (it might contain large amounts of your essence) If it was laundered well, fuck it - think of it as a tax!

Eh, I know.  Didn't love him, maybe never would; I'll miss the sex till I find another guy is all.

I'll get the clothing (it's a bathrobe) back; just wish I didn't have to because I don't want to see him again.  I prefer to cut my exes out completely.

You have to ask?

In the many myths spoken forth into age by millennia of astrologers, the point where the cantilever carrying every known chaotic, dysfunctional, opposing force in a delicate balance finally comes to zero windage, zero preload, zero fore or aft, zero rudder, zero over or under steer, zero predictability or expectation and makes the most brief, tangential contact with the fulcrum of all legacy that is perfectly stable and undaunted, irrevocable and fully filled in the universe was the instant I came to life. I will never again know such perfection as the moment of my birth.

I already have a lot including an anvil and forge and many of the other tools.  This was a bunch of tongs, a couple hammers,a drift and a hardie.  I like doing traditional blacksmithing and tool making with some fancy stuff.  It has been awhile though very rusty Sunday I hope to fire it up

I got up, too, but I grabbed my machete and got a small work out on the overgrowth tangling into the fence. I whacked until the entire line of vines was cut into foot-long pieces. I then placed the messy vine stalks carefullly around my favored flowering shrubs as an air break for the piles of maple leaves that will be raked up around them in a couple of weeks.

I'm sweaty.

I got up, too, but I grabbed my machete and got a small work out on the overgrowth tangling into the fence. I whacked until the entire line of vines was cut into foot-long pieces. I then placed the messy vine stalks carefullly around my favored flowering shrubs as an air break for the piles of maple leaves that will be raked up around them in a couple of weeks.

I'm sweaty.

Then don't fucking 'dis a people's history, for being short, which had to be formed getting out from under such things as slavery, lords, and indentures to find our way past "kings" FFS. Yeah, it took a while, and we did the same fucking things to the native peoples of this land (in our zeal) that we had learned from the fuckers who had kept us, but we are getting there.

Go find a fucking cold lake and jump in.

some of us will get excited over your old fucking buildings, but don't fucking make light of the fact that we are still growing.

I live in a town that was settled for the first time by "western providence" (FFS) in 1837. Our oldest structures still stand. Before that, structures were made of trees, which have failed. Those structures were never meant to be permanent in the first place - know the history (asswipe!).

It's your superior, somehow-older-is-better, attitude to which I take offense.

Hell, no, we are not an old country, but recent global history is full of our attempted means. Check your own country's stupid interpretations of what we have tried to do for a start. What the fuck has Sweden done in two hundred years, besides advance metallurgy and some scientific theory!?!

You, yourself, claim to live in the most cowardly land on the globe. (I don't buy it, BTW - knowing a couple of old Swedish American artisans)

Post by: TheoK on November 05, 2008, 05:42:37 PM
It's merely the Swedish authorities and media that are really cowardly. People are just too nice and humble towards them. But Sweden was one of the greatest nations once.

What Sweden/Swedes have done? Bofors guns (ironically), dynamite, the Monitor, the ball bearing, the automatic light house, the AGA gas stove, the adjustable spanner, the periodic system of elements, the Nobel Price, the cream separator, the computer mouse, the Brånemark system for titanium implants...

Bofors guns are sold through dummies, since we are a peace-loving nation that won't sell to countries at war.  :angel:

The Nobel Price is not sold as far as I know.  :P

I don't know exactly when it comes to the patents, but of course those which were sold were sold with good profit.

But there still is a church in this parish built 400 years before Columbus came to America.  :smarty:

Still trying to see how that makes you and your old shit so much better than me and my new shit.  I am only saying that age, itself, with no current service, is hardly a metric for greatness.

A nine hundred year old something is no better than a brand new something, due to its age, alone. It is how it serves that makes one thing better than another or at least somewhat usable. Don't fucking dis' my history for being shorter than yours. Find something else.

By your own logic, your country should be well on its way to leading the entire globe.

Sweden would be a leading nation, if we weren't ran by twats since at least 200 years back. Germany was close 65 years ago, but dumb Britain and America allied with the Soviets instead.

Old, as in old in my possession. Useless junk, basically. Nothing that was actually worth anything. A broken CRT monitor, a fried water pump, plates and stuff to a stove no longer in existence, etc...

Glad she behaved well for you. Reward her with another fun outing while things are good.

It is not my daughter who causes trouble - it is my son who prevents us from doing fun things. Some things overload him like crazy. A while back we went to a museum exhibit and it fascinated him (bored my daughter, but she was just whiny, not bad, really). His behavior was perfect.

Our next outing was a simple picnic in a park and even though he seemed to love it at the time, he was freaked out about it for days!

Count the good days in "CAPITAL NUMBERS!"

Yes, that's a really good idea.

We took her for a walk to the ice cream store late this morning but unfortunately it was still closed, so we walked on to the grocery store and bought ice cream bars there instead. 

She still behaved very well, even with the unexpected change to our plans.

Great.
My mistake was that I waited too long to follow up and the picnic failed. We should have done it the next day or something, instead of waiting until the week end.
I wanted to have my wife with us on the picnic, all together as a family. It doesn't work to try and force grown up concerns on a child.

One of the ways I try to prolong a fun event is by getting them to re-tell the story of the day. They both have so much difficulty turning thoughts into words that I feel this exercise helps them. I also encourage them to draw a scene or two from the day's activities and write on the back a short note about something that made them laugh. (Yes, I milk the hell out of the good days!)
It's part of the routine, now.

That's a good idea, DirtDawg.

We did talk about walking to the ice cream store and the grocery store after I read her a story as I was getting her settled in bed.  I told her that we were able to go for that walk to get ice cream because we could trust her to be good since she had been good at the IMAX movie and at dinner. 

She said that it would have been better if the ice cream store had been open.   :laugh:

My daughter will turn eight around Christmas time. (Yes, Parts, she has done my nails, put make-up on me, fixed my hair. I have played with her dolls, fixed her dolls, had tea parties with her dolls, sown back together clothes for her dolls. I warm her towel before she comes from the shower, quite often.  I don't know who's more spoiled, she or I - I get a huge charge out of doing things for her, but I am extremely stern if she brings home manipulative, whiny, fake crying, bratty behaviors from school. I will not tolerate this.)

Honestly, I can think of nothing more truly manly, stabilising, even uplifting of self esteem and confidence than having such a rich, trusting and fulfilling relationship with your daughter.

I hate being so clumsy like that. Sometimes it's a surprise.

Yesterday, when I came from work I was so overstimmed that while I was rattling together a perfunctory snack/meal, I had an urgent itch on my arm and I clawed several layers of skin off, accidentally. It bled a lot.

Just hold it under the cold water longer than you think is necessary actually. Don't put butter or lard on it, thats a stupid myth that makes burns worse. Aloe is good. When it blisters, do not peel off the skin, and if the skin acidentally breaks, be sure to keep the wound very clean, and apply antibiotic regularly.

yeah, that's what i used.  i have two monster aloe plants, which keep sending up babies - comes in handy when someone has a surprise (to me) need for a pressie, cos i pot up a baby for them. 

in fact, the big plants are so huge they have to lean against things, so i might compost them and make do with the fair-sized children.

I hate being so clumsy like that. Sometimes it's a surprise.

Yesterday, when I came from work I was so overstimmed that while I was rattling together a perfunctory snack/meal, I had an urgent itch on my arm and I clawed several layers of skin off, accidentally. It bled a lot.

i do that often, with the eczema.  :(  i get clumsy once or twice when i've got PMS, but only this often when i'm depressed.

Just hold it under the cold water longer than you think is necessary actually. Don't put butter or lard on it, thats a stupid myth that makes burns worse. Aloe is good. When it blisters, do not peel off the skin, and if the skin acidentally breaks, be sure to keep the wound very clean, and apply antibiotic regularly.

thanks rage - yep, did all that.  i';ve only got a small blister, which is a bit i must've missed with the treatment - it's right on the edge of my hand/wrist, so awkward to get to.  most of it is just red: it isn't particularly inflamed (apart from the blister), and only stings very slightly when it touches something, so i think my ministrations worked.

so glad i've got something right at last.

Is that a trick question?

no, and i apologise for any sarcasm/bitterness.

(ouch! hope you are okay and that it wasn't too bad).

it hurts like fuck, but i whacked it under the cold tap straight away, then applied lavender oil and aloe vera juice (plants in kitchen and bathroom for precisely that purpose) a couple of times.  it's blistered up a bit, still, sadly, but i've just put calendula ointment on it, which takes away the pain and soothes it.  i'll keep the lavender and aloe up for the rest of the day, too.

i hate being depressed - it always makes me clumsy, and/or injure myself.  :'(

No don't worry about it, you were hurt so you weren't on your best behaviour, I understand that and I wasn't offended.

But I'm glad you have seemed to have dealt with it quite well reguarding your treatment of the burn.

Cooked our turkey on the outdoor grille, slow smoked with pear wood. It was excellent!

How do you grill it for such a long time?  Do you put the fire on the other side of the grill from the turkey?

How do you grill it for such a long time?  Do you put the fire on the other side of the grill from the turkey?

First of all, I have a very large grille. If I fill it full of coals it will burn for about six hours, by controlling the airflow. For a turkey, I fill the coals to about half capacity and I renew the smoking wood a couple of times.
I place bricks on the fire base (the kind with holes in them) laid on their sides to make a rectangle, two high and start a big fire and reduce it all to coals inside the brick box. I add unburned wood (no bark, only heart wood) for smoke and close down the air vents to just a whisper. On the bricks, I put a large flat pan which I keep some water in at first. Then on the top grille, where the food normally goes I place one of those large heavy duty disposable foil pans (BTW, spring for one of those fancy ones with the handles and the wire support underneath - worth the money!) with the turkey inside. I cover the turkey for the first hour or so.
After about two hours the unburned wood is mostly turned to coals and stopped smoking, so I remove the turkey, add more unburned wood, empty the water out of the heat deflection pan, open the air vents a little to bring up the temperature and replace the turkey. It takes about three and a half hours and plenty of basting, but it is worth the effort.

I agree about those big disposable heavy duty turkey pans with the handles and wire supports.  Those are great.

One other option, assuming your grille is large enough for a turkey, is to begin the cooking process in the oven as you normally would. Then finish the cooking on the grille.  I often do this with pork roasts, which can dry out if cooked too quickly, just like poultry.

Cook it for about two hours at normal settings in your regular oven. About an hour and a half after you begin baking the turkey, start your fire and get it ready. You will still accumulate a nice smoke flavor this way AND, during the final hour or so of cooking, you will have full use of your oven for other things.

Beat my head against a wall trying to get a spawned encounter to work in my Neverwinter mod.

It shouldn't be that hard to make a group of people appear, walk across a room, and disappear through the door on the other side. But encounters only trigger for hostile monsters, so I set these guys to hostile and gave them a custom spawn-in script to make them friendly again after they appear. But I can't get them to appear in the first place.

The goblins appear just fine, and kick the crap out of my unarmed test character.  :hahaha:

Yes, I agree that it is weird.

The value of a dollar has gone up and gas prices have gone down, so that's good.

However, the stock market is down and there is lots of unemployment, which causes people to spend much less during this holiday season than in previous years and so this gets even more people laid off.

Same old same old.  Just exercising less.  I  bought some spirulina from the healthfood store,  getting the same deal.  Ginko extract was $3.00 off also, so I bought that.   I don't know how may times I took the 420mg dose of ginko extract, but it wasn't even remotely overstimulating.  Over 240 mg can cause overstimulation.

The dollar goes up. Weird economic crises.  ???

Yes, I agree that it is weird.

The value of a dollar has gone up and gas prices have gone down, so that's good.

However, the stock market is down and there is lots of unemployment, which causes people to spend much less during this holiday season than in previous years and so this gets even more people laid off.

The stock market is taking a much over due correction. The dollar moving is an indication of international faith in the resilience and diversity of the economy in this country.

Here's an interesting set of figures:

In our district (where I work; I mean our district, consisting of fourteen stores, not our single store location) our traffic (which is the actual number of people entering the door) is down by twelve percent, BUT, our revenue (actual dollars taken in) is up by three percent over this same time last year. Those are quarterly numbers, BTW. That is roughly equivalent to inflation, even though our traffic is down. Not too bad, really. (I can get into deep doodoo for posting this type of information, so I have made it anonymous, but you know what I'm talking about.)

Yes, there are some large over extended banks having problems and auto manufacturers have been milked dry by the UAW, in recent years. I don't think these businesses represent typical economical climactic conditions, though. They get all the press, because they are American institutions, large, old ones. I think most of the globe, and most especially those of us who live here, believes that quite a number of "American institutions"  need a nip and a tuck here and there. Maybe it's finally happening.

As far as lay offs, we must realize that the fact that the numbers are large, no one seems to be taking into account that the work force is also much larger than the Eighties decade they keep comparing with the present.

I need more convincing that the sky is actually falling, before I get out my Chicken Little suit.

Good point that the stock market was probably artificially over-valued and was due for a correction anyway. 

I think that the economy may be better in some places and worse in others.  In the town where I grew up, it's terrible, but it's a little better where I live now.

Sewed up the disintegrating knees of my trousers to prolong their life.  Cotton trousers are comfortable, but I've never had a pair that have turned out to be particularly durable.  I have a couple of pairs of trousers made from a combination of tightly woven nylon and Cordura that look like they'll last for a decade or so and could possibly offer some modest protection from slashing knife attacks, but they're not as comfortable and warm as my cotton trousers, and they have to be washed more often.

I have been pleasantly surprised how well my old  (eleven years old, now) car has handled its drink, lately.

I gave it (well, that's not right. I paid through the nose to a competent mechanic, who fixed all that he found wrong) a thorough tuning last month, tires, wires, plugs, computer tweaks, filters, etc.  (shit, it was in October, not last month) and I have been impressed by how the performance of my old drive has been stepped up and the guzzling of fuel has been lessened.

Fortunately I do not drive it much, but to have it anxious to go when I want is a good feeling, again.

got woken up by the little un having a tantrum at 6.30; sorted him out and installed him on the couch with some breakfast; dosed myself with painkillers, drinks and decongestants. Now doing my SAD lamp and trying to come round a bit. :yawn:

You are having sinus problems?

I'm glad the SAD lamp is working out well for you.

Nah, a nasty virus. I'm bunged up still and aching like a bastard, but I seem to be getting better now.
The SAD lamp is working out, which is great. I can live without another winter of misery.  :headbang2:

I made one which is filtered to 6600K, two thousand watts. (I own several Kelvin scale light meters to ensure this, from my old job.) I lose about six hundred watts or two thirds of a stop (or I could flip the scale over and do candle power if you prefer), due to the filtering, though.

I'm not sure how much it actually helps, but it distracts me, which, in itself, can be helpful.

Many Aspies have sinus problems, because many of us suffer from teeth grinding.  :(

oh, is that why?  grinding my teeth is one of my major stims, and i find it difficult to breathe at night.

what's the explanation for that?

I grind my teeth a lot, especially while dreaming (I've been told by many), but I do it as a semi-constant stim, also.

I don't have any problems with my sinuses, outside of a slight allergic reaction to mold spores (I refuse to accept that allergies could be the result of teeth grinding) and a little adjustment necessary after rapid changes in barometric pressure. Actually, I am fairly sensitive to pressure, in general. An enclosed room with an air conditioning vent can create enough pressure to require some adjustments for sinus comfort.

Good LORD!!

Merry fucking Christmas, Goddamnit!

I did not have to respond to my cell phone, because I had it turned off. I keep my landline phone's ringer turned off as well.

When I was ready, I made the five calls I wanted to make from my land line, regarding the festivity of the season (bollocks, really) and each time it was suggested to me that I make other calls to other people who have asked about me, I ferused, stating that I was pretty much phoned-out already.

No lie there! I was phoned-out by about the late seventies and I have yet to heal.

Anyway, on a more positive note, today (actually yesterday as I write this) I went to the Legion of Honor in San Francisco and strolled around looking at the beautiful paintings and sculptures. There are a lot of Rembrandt's, Van Gogh's, and one by Salvador Dali. My favorite is The Russian Brides Attire by Konstantin Makovsky 1889. I took pictures but I just got my digital camera and the pics did not come out good so I need more practice. When I can get some good ones I'll put them in the Photos thread. Going to Art Museums is relaxing, I would like to go to the Louvre and The Metropolitan Museum of Art in NY sometime.

Looking for you is like poking my head in a funhouse mirror room. Wild and sharp and deceptively flattering. The meanings that I read may be echoes of my own reflection, and yet foreign bits slip in where I least expect them.

I don't know about pain receding. Pain seems pretty boring lately. I fluctuate between aiming for optimal efficacy and inspiration. The relationship between the two eludes me.

You've gone through some changes recently (from what I understand) that are bound to heighten your expectations.

I regret that my commenting upon some of the crap I see has this effect. I hate this disorderly part of life.
You are one of many to express a kind of comedic release at my noticing all the incredibly stupid things that happen all around us on a daily basis, the noting of which most people are completely oblivious without my fitting some gainsaid presupposition of what turn-out I deem MOST logical (at the moment) to the list of possible outcomes . To me, we all live in a funhouse and it is only through bent reflection from these twisted mirrors that we can see each other. It is folly to think otherwise.

I gave Waggy a thorough bath with medicated shampoo, and hopefully managed to get rid of all the poo that had gotten matted into the fur around her back end.  She was starting to smell quite ripe, and the poo-mats were preventing me from trimming her fur.  The best strategy that I've come up with for washing her is to fill the bath with warm water, strip naked, put on a waterproof jacket and trousers and get into the bath with her.  The waterproof gear stops her from scratching me when she tries to climb up me to escape, and it's easy to rinse and dry afterwards, though fortunately her escape attempts are becoming less vigorous now that she's getting used to the concept of bathing. 

She used to run away from the electric shears and cower, but these days she'll happily run down the stairs and jump up onto the window ledge where I trim her when I call 'hair cut' to her, since I've conditioned her associate it with getting praise and a treat at the end, so hopefully she'll become equally cooperative with respect to baths.

Modified the electric heater in the living room.  It's one of the ones that simulates a fire; it had a couple of 40 watt incandescent light bulbs and an 11 watt motor that rotated an axle with reflective strips on it, to generate a flickering fire effect.  Mum likes to have it on for about 8 hours a day for the glowing effect, and often leaves it on when she goes out, which is an enormous waste of electricity, and something had worn out in the motor and was causing an irritating knockknockknockknock sound as the reflectors rotated, so I disconnected the motor from the power supply, removed the light bulbs and coiled some LED fairy lights inside it to replace the glow.  The flicker isn't as good as it used to be, since the fairy lights don't have a very good control unit, but the power consumption when it's not being used to provide heat has dropped from 91 watts to 4 watts.  The actual heater is a separate small unit that's screwed to the underside of the main cabinet, so I don't have to worry about the fairy lights melting.

I probably said too much, well past the point where I was over my burst. He is almost as strong as I am, but much younger, and he has been punked by the over-lord's ()maid of the day() wench-image, who presides over him.

I hope I have not lost a "friend" to this outburst, but I was pissed at other middle-management personae and I took it out on him, because he was there.

I hate stresses outside of my control. Why can't we all be allowed to do our jobs!

Maybe you should ask the doctor before taking anything like Tylenol for a while until you are better just to be on the safe side since Tylenol can hurt your liver too.

I'm glad that you won't drink anymore.

It's good that your liver can heal itself, so hopefully you won't suffer from any long-term effects of this binge.

Sat around in extreme pain because I'm still recovering from nearly drinking myself to death on new years.

I can't even remember that they had to call the ambulance. Fuck.

Fucking one and half bottles of vodka in a few hours, what was I thinking (okay so perhaps the thinking was put on hold).

Auch! :headbang2: Happy New Year man.

Thanks, you too.

I must have had the time of my life considering how much I can't remember...

That's scary that they had to call an ambulance.  I hope you never do it again.

I'm not even gonna drink again, I only drink a few times a year and I only drink to get stinking drunk. Not anymore.


 :emb:

Holy shit, Dude!  Just noticed this. Wholly shit!

I have said the same thing about just drinking to get drunk, but I was always the first to pass out after about four or five drinks. I've never ever had any where near that much to drink. I simply can't - "lightweight date,"   here!

Hope you're OK.



Yeah thanks. I hope I'm alright too, I'm a little concerned about organ damage, although its probably nothing, just being away I guess. Today is the first day since that I dont have any pain, I hurt like hell all over for a while there. The thing is, I dont even remember starting on the second bottle, which is scary.

Maybe you should ask the doctor before taking anything like Tylenol for a while until you are better just to be on the safe side since Tylenol can hurt your liver too.

I'm glad that you won't drink anymore.

It's good that your liver can heal itself, so hopefully you won't suffer from any long-term effects of this binge.

I took paracetamol for the first few days, not exceeding the recommended dosage, not that It had much effect. I mainly used it before sleeping.

Thank you for the kind words, I've been pretty hard on myself over this whole thing. I feel ashamed at what I put my family and friends through, even though they seem more concerned that I'm okay than anything.

Messed around on the computer until 2:00 pm, went down to my Union Hall to drop off a thank you letter from a charity to be read at the next meeting and went to the waterfront to have tea and read my book for a couple of hours. I also finished signing up for and paid for an Intro to Solar Power class that starts this Wednesday and finishes next week.

I'm going to give them to my niece tomorrow. I hope she has as much fun with them as I did, and she probably will. Shes a smart, technical type little girl.

Sort of. But I really do go to the store when I know I want or need something. I then proceed to purchase the item(s), then leave. Other people don't do this. They look at things they are not going to buy. They just.. look at them. Why do people do this?

Sprayed the walls, surfaces and fixtures of the bathroom with dilute bleach from an atomising spray bottle.  Mum's partner had cleaned dog shit off of his shoes in the bathroom sink, so I decided it was time to give the bathroom a dose of wonderful sterilising, cleansing, odour-destroying bleach.

I wish I knew. I've certainly observed the phenomenon plenty. It seems to be some kind of hunting instinct, where the whole store is your resource gathering grounds. Some people seem to get ideas and inspiration from looking at what they could own, and owning some of it. Either price is no object because the impulse "I want it!" overrides common sense, or price is a strategy game where you win if you get the best deal.

Ok man. You confirmed my theory, sort of. I theorized that back when we were all neandrethals or niggers or cro magnons or whatever.  There were hunters and gatherers.

Combined with hoarding, especially in people who lived through disasters or poor economic times like the Depression, who will buy things to have them around "just to be safe", even if they already have three.

It's not just that, because smart monkeys have learned to trade and go to flea markets. My mom is a smart monkey. She buys shit just because it is discounted to cost.

Then she goes to trade or donate it to people she can bargain with for good deals on crapshite she actually wants.

Threaded some blue LED fairy lights through some clear PVC tubing and then sealed the tubing with silicone.  It was a fairly long, narrow, curly piece of tubing, so threading the lights through it was a complete bastard, but I got there eventually.  It's going to go in my pond, and hopefully will look pretty and show off the fish at night.

I am a little perturbed due to the fact that the bigger bosses have cut our work hours to the point that I will have a difficult time finishing the required courses, before some time in May at the rate they have allowed the staff to work. I know there's a crunch, but it's temporary, FFS.

The thing that pisses me off the most is that I'm not really learning by taking these courses. I totally have all this shit, but I must pass their computer oriented "eLearnings" before I qualify for the decent raise that was promised to me and yet, I am already doing the work.

I'd love to watch them hang. I'd love to see the cowards in the Swedish parliament hang too. Like someone said on a Swedish board: "With so many suicides each year, why can't anyone of the self-murderers end their life with a good deed and kill a politician of the establishment at the same time, especially those who kill themselves with guns, and thus do something useful when they are about to end their lives anyway?"

Started back on my meds.  I took a break from them for the past 5 days to lower my resistance, and it wasn't particularly fun.  My brain works a lot better with them, and they make it much easier to get things done, but they stop working unless I take breaks from time to time, and I get listless, irritable and headachy when coming off them; nothing too severe and comparable to coming off of caffeine, but unpleasant all the same.  I also got the psychiatrist to up the dose from 20mg to 25mg on my last visit, which was nice.  I brought my mum along, which I hadn't done before, and she was quite helpful; she has a way of prompting people to action, and she was able to tell the psychiatrist about the improvement she's noticed in me since I started on the dexamphetamine, plus the psychiatrist was hopefully reassured that I was under a degree of supervision at home and thus could be given 'dangerous' meds.

I wasn't too impressed by the psychiatrist's understanding of ADHD; she thought that ADHD meant a person couldn't concentrate much at all.  I tried to explain to her that a person with ADHD can often concentrate perfectly adequately, and could even concentrate too well to the exclusion of everything outside their current focus, and that the problem lay with the ability to voluntarily control the focus of the concentration, but she didn't accept my explanation and stuck to her own understanding, though the end result still worked out the way I wanted.

The independence day cloud has drifted off somewhere and the sky's now blue with a scattering of small, fluffy, fast-moving clouds and large banks of cloud lining the horizon.  It's 4.5C here with a wet sheen to everything.  We had a little snow a couple of days ago, but it was verging on sleet and didn't last for long.

Apparently, I have destroyed my daughter's chances of ever being normal.  Well, OK, it took me more than one day.

I just laughed my ass off at some of the updated evaluation pages from our fall trip to the psyche team, which arrived last week in the mail.

ZZZZOMFG!!

Sorry, but medical records sort of NEED to be a permanent set of ("super private" by all rights) ledgers to assist the doctors in maintaining continuity in your health care.

It doesn't really happen, but if it did, billions of dollars could be saved across the entire industry, I expect.

It would fuck things up though, because with adequate records, there would hardly be any entertainment value to a television show like "House."

:D

Started back on my meds.  I took a break from them for the past 5 days to lower my resistance, and it wasn't particularly fun.  My brain works a lot better with them, and they make it much easier to get things done, but they stop working unless I take breaks from time to time, and I get listless, irritable and headachy when coming off them; nothing too severe and comparable to coming off of caffeine, but unpleasant all the same.  I also got the psychiatrist to up the dose from 20mg to 25mg on my last visit, which was nice.  I brought my mum along, which I hadn't done before, and she was quite helpful; she has a way of prompting people to action, and she was able to tell the psychiatrist about the improvement she's noticed in me since I started on the dexamphetamine, plus the psychiatrist was hopefully reassured that I was under a degree of supervision at home and thus could be given 'dangerous' meds.

I wasn't too impressed by the psychiatrist's understanding of ADHD; she thought that ADHD meant a person couldn't concentrate much at all.  I tried to explain to her that a person with ADHD can often concentrate perfectly adequately, and could even concentrate too well to the exclusion of everything outside their current focus, and that the problem lay with the ability to voluntarily control the focus of the concentration, but she didn't accept my explanation and stuck to her own understanding, though the end result still worked out the way I wanted.

Baw people don't understand my ADHD. :wanker:

Looked for my sig other's cat, who has been AWOL since noon today.

We have an outside cat--very friendly--who Jen brings in sometimes. Today was one of thosetimes. SO she let Puma out while Niko was in. Once she let go of Niko, I made sure Puma was in and locked him in the bathroom until Niko was out. Once he was out, I closed the back door and opened the bathroom door. Haven't seen him since.
Best case scenario: he's "sulking in his tent" somewhere in the house and will come out when hungry.
Worst case scenario: The prop mananger put out traps for strays. If Puma got out, he might've gotten caught--and he doesn't have his tag on. Nor does he have an implant--I'm suspicious of them and they're not cheap, at least around here. So if he doesn't show up, we might have to call the PM and/or the local shelter. The one positive on this scenario is that, if he did get caught, they can tell from the bandage on his broken foot that he wasn't abandoned and probably belongs to someone on the property.
So trying not to worry and will work on a flyer just in case.
Thoughts/prayers in this direction appreciated.

He got a scare, that's all, but he was lucky. An inch or two to the left and he would have ended up in the hospital, or worse.

It's a police matter now. The kid was placed in my son's class just a few weeks ago, without any sort of advance warning or heads-up. He's what they call a "problem child", and he's been busy bullying other kids, stealing stuff from everyone in sight, including teachers. Plus he's into martial arts, from what I hear.

They sent him home yesterday, and now I'm trying to force them to move him elsewhere. I've been busy writing letters.

Another autistic child grabbed my daughter's neck because she was on the computer in their classroom, he wanted to use it, and he was having trouble waiting for his turn.  Another time, he pulled her hair while she was swinging on the playground.  He was 15 years old and over six feet tall and the teachers who dealt with him started wearing heavy gauntlets over their arms because of his aggressiveness.  They wound up finding him another placement, although I don't know the details due to the teachers respecting his privacy.

Good.  I'm glad that they are doing something now because that's not a safe situation for anyone, not even the aggressor.

Another autistic child grabbed my daughter's neck because she was on the computer in their classroom, he wanted to use it, and he was having trouble waiting for his turn.  Another time, he pulled her hair while she was swinging on the playground.  He was 15 years old and over six feet tall and the teachers who dealt with him started wearing heavy gauntlets over their arms because of his aggressiveness.  They wound up finding him another placement, although I don't know the details due to the teachers respecting his privacy. 



We're worried about what will happen if he isn't moved. :(

Jeez! I've been so wrapped up in my own scary evening, that I had not seen all this. It really is hard to know how to temper yourself when it's your kids getting hurt.
Hope this problem child gets placed in another school rather quickly, like one with bars, maybe.

I hope the issue is resolved to your satisfaction.

Not by a long shot, unfortunately. A kid in my son's class punched him in the throat yesterday, yet the school is doing very little.

That's awful.  Was your son injured?  Was the kid who hit him a 'typical' child?

He got a scare, that's all, but he was lucky. An inch or two to the left and he would have ended up in the hospital, or worse.

It's a police matter now. The kid was placed in my son's class just a few weeks ago, without any sort of advance warning or heads-up. He's what they call a "problem child", and he's been busy bullying other kids, stealing stuff from everyone in sight, including teachers. Plus he's into martial arts, from what I hear.

If other parents complain enough then eventually something will happen. It does not necessarily mean that he needs to be moved though, there are other ways of dealing with it which I imagine they are supposed to try first.

Isolation within the school and having a minder is an example. The problem with such children is that they cannot be moved around forever - really its something that you should be writing to your politicians about.

That's a good point, Hadron.

If he were in the US, they would probably want to try isolating him with a paraprofessional if they can before they try moving him, especially since they just moved him to this school.

You should be writing to politicians to get them to sort the system out properly. You know, so it is less likely to happen to a kid like your son in the first place. If everyone took that line, then this would have been for less likely to have happened in the first place!

I went to the De Young museum and checked out the art and renewed and upgraded my membership there. So that got me an extra membership card, which I gave to my aunt. She is a retired College Professor who taught me evolution back when I was 6 to 8 years old and took me to art and natural science museums a lot when I was a kid. So now if our schedules don't work so we can see the King Tut exhibit at the De Young and Legion of Honor together then she can get her own advance tickets ahead of the general public. The new membership also gives us reciprocal free entrance into other participating museums around the country. I am looking forward to the King Tut exhibits ( running from June 27 to next March, my bd is June 30 ) this summer, I don't have an obsession with ancient Egypt but I do think it will be interesting.

A LOT of pushups and situps. I've had feelings of anxiety and loss of control before, but its been getting a little unreasonable lately. The only way I know to vent it is through anger. So my throat is sore from roaring, and my fists are bruised from the punching bag. And i'm still not satisfied.

Experimented with some polyurethane expanding foam.  I was hoping to use it to stabilise the edges of my pond, where the soil is prone to collapsing in places when Waggy walks over it, but I think my technique needs some improvement.  I also found that the foam binds very nicely to the butyl rubber liner, so I'm going to try to seal some leaks with it, since the butyl joining tape I used before was a complete pain in the arse to apply and silicone sealant won't bind to butyl rubber.

Alexithymia may be part of your problem set that is vexing you. Just as Aspergers/Autism is social retardation, Alexithymia is emotional retardation that is often co morbid with autism spectrum conditions. I was not able to address what you said in your Paradox thread because of how you worded it, but DirtDawg nailed it very well. The part he did not address was in your opening statement about growing. Awareness can open new possibilities for growth, but it is not, in and of itself, growth.

It's all well and fine to know how to fuck up your enemies, but unless you plan on being around psychopathic scum on a regular basis it is not a skill that most people have a regular use for. Have you ever considered what you need to learn and practice to do good? I think part of the Hippocratic Oath is first do no harm. That can be practiced by not feeling the need to respond to every real or perceived insult or slight. There are a couple of reasons for this, first off you may be wrong - there was no insult given, or it was not directed at you. Second - problems sometimes work themselves out with a little time, sometimes a person will realize they gave offense and apologize with no input from you needed. In either of these types of cases you will come off as a jackass if you make a response that is not needed or warranted. Only an idiot will go through life fighting one unnecessary  battle after another, it diverts resources that could better be used elsewhere and wrecks any credibility you have.
You will not be happy staying angry all the time. Venting, in small doses, can be good but doing it all the time is not.

Yeah. The mental paradox i've been exeriencing lately is pretty much a way of thinking along those lines. Fucking driving me nuts. I've don't the only thing I know of when I don't know what else to do, and thats read and get on the internet. Research isn't going well. Looks like this is just one of those things life likes to throw at you. Good thing is, i've promised myself that i'll never give up again.

Last night, I spent a couple of hours crawling around under a desk and through the eaves, tracking down and repairing a loose connection in a phone socket that was causing intermittent static on the phones and connection problems for the computers.  The phone sockets and wiring had recently been replaced, but it seems the people who did it didn't do a very good job of it.  I eventually soldered the wires into place, so that the connection would be as good as possible and because I didn't trust the little V-shaped metal clamps in the socket, which is where the problem had arisen.  It's added about 5cm to the distance the wires travel without their twisted-pair arrangement, but I don't know if that'll matter at all.  The static is gone for the moment, and I'm hoping that my torrent speeds and page loads will become more consistent now, but it's too early to draw any conclusions.

Went to a gun show and bought 750 rounds of ammunition. Then went to the De Young to get advance tickets for the King Tut exhibit. The parking garage was full and the street parking was all taken as well so I came back home. I have been up 24 hours since I got off of work at 5:00 am and didn't figure I would get up on time to make it to the Cow Palace if I fell asleep. Going to go to sleep soon.

Yes, I said "...and weren't going by flight".

A good pistol costs about €1000 on the Swedish black market and it's very hard to find someone who is willing to sell it in the first place.

In Prague you just go to the "ghetto" and buy an AK-47 for €200.  :(

Oh, you don't get a hard punishment for the mere possession of an illegal gun here - often just 6 months, of which you usually serve 4.

Though he's otherwise a law-abiding person, so you can never know. An example of just how twisted Swedish "justice" is:

A very well known neo-Nazi, in the same county as Odeon and I live, btw, did 4 months for illegal possession. He was punished several times before. An unpunished person, who forgot to renew his license for his legal weapons (must be done every 5th year in this Soviet state) got one year (which will be 8 months, if he behaves)!  ::)

On the other hand people are emotional creatures and will tend to want to practice more with a platform that they like. But it does pay to know the mechanics, quirks and field strip procedures for a variety of weapons.
I have a friend who likes the 1911 and everything else that I have offered to let him try (as far as auto pistols anyway) just doesn't "feel right" in his hand because of his bias. He has tried the HK USPs and P7PSP, Walther P5, SIG P245 and P239, Glocks and Kahr MK9 out of my collection and could not effectively use any of them to save his own life. So I think it's good to find a platform you like and master it, but have at least a working familiarity for everything you can get your hands on.

Thats strange to me. Very strange. Thats like someone who "dedicates" a song to their relationship with someone. How can you develop an emotional connection with something that isn't alive?

I know humans are emotional creatures. I am one myself. But thats kind of stuff stumps me.

And its not just about any gun I can use well anyway. I can pick up just about any object and use it to kill something if I were so inclined. If i'm going to use something as a weapon, I am probably not worried about a "comfort zone" with the weapon.

Well, Klas Lund, who earlier is convicted for manslaughter, got 4 months, that's a fact. I looked on Swedish forums for more info about the other case but couldn't find any. But with the hysterical view on guns here, I'd still not be suprised if that's the only fact there is.

Submitted my plans for reducing theft in our store to the managerial staff. I know that some of my ideas are a bit too much for the average part-time worker and accountability will be low with those employees, but I also addressed this in my outline.

FFS, I also found an ipod Touch (32GB - expensive one!) that someone had slipped out of the magnetic locking security devise and stashed behind some stuff.


It HAD to be an employee!

Worked. Had to head for home halfway through because of a migraine that wouldn't leave me alone. Spent a couple of hours in a dark room and things got a little better.

Hope it's better today.

I have been lucky to have escaped the plague of migraine pain for over a year. Like the colds, though, I suspect that when it finally finds me, the one strong enough to take me down willl be a motherfucker!

Thanks. :) It's definitely better today. But ask me after tomorrow cos we'll bury my father-in-law and I expect the migraine to be back.

It's a fucking miracle if I can stay off the ciggies after this week. :-\

I have come within a split second of kicking my o'scope.

It died. I replaced the fuse and the new fuse went instantly. There is something wrong with the high voltage section of the power supply. Most of the circuits work, but not the HV.

If I can find out why, It will probably be expensive to fix.

Check the rectifier. A capacitor might need replacing. Or you could have blown the coil itself, but you should see that when opening it.

I was checking a really old one once 30's vintage and had an oil cap blow and catch fire so at least yours died peacefully

Tubes are not as hard as you think unless you get into ones used in amps then they get a bit pricey

Nah, mine's not that old - it's from the seventies. It's a hybrid with a solid state power supply. It actually has a diode bridge rectifier, but until I can dig out my variable power source, bypass the fuse and carefully bring up the voltage to find out where the current is going, I can't even get past the blown fuse. My fear is that the main power transformer has a problem somewhere.

I've never been a great believer in tube amps. I know some people prefer that sound, but I'm a bit more pragmatic.

There is more difference between "Single Ended" type amplifiers and "Push-Pull" type amplifiers than whether or not to use tubes or transistors. If your listening equipment, as a whole, is capable of high enough resolution to make the slightest crossover distortion audible, then Single Ended Triode amplifiers are the only way to go.There are some Class A Solid State amps that approach zero crossover distortion, but they are extremely pricey.
A good SET tube amp is free from this kind of error, but what you give up is power. So, the pursuit of very efficient speakers becomes another issue.
You might be really surprised how seldom I turn up my two watt per channel amps, during a close listening session.

When I want to shake the floor and dance around madly, I use a big sand box, though.

Well, the transformer is easy to replace. Or should be, depending on the model. :-\

Things is, when the fuse blows, it usually indicates a short somewhere, and shorts are relatively uncomplicated to find.

Yep, and if the short is inside the power transformer, I will have fun trying to locate a replacement if the problem is not in the outer windings.
It uses 470V for the B+, so it is not that common.  As far as that goes, it is a relatively newish, Tectronics from the seventies - it's not THAT odd of a unit, either.

470V? No, that's not very common. Still, Tectronics is a very common model so there should be plenty of spare parts around.

Then they asked for ID, which I could not believe. There is no way that water shouldn't have immediately been confirmed as such. I got flustered, because I don't drink alcohol.

Studied the topography of Austria. Blessings of parenting.

What a waste of time to learn topography of a country when there is nothing told about that country.
Useless information, because it has no connection to anything but this piece of paper.
Why not tell something about the history and geographical settings of places and rivers?
Just dead spots and lines on a piece of paper are so boring. And will be forgotten in two weeks.

Made a huge recyclables run this morning on my way to work in a downpour. I am still soaked over 5 hours later. No way to dry off "under" layer of cloathing at work and I got soaked all the way to the skin. I've taken off as much as I can get away with sitting at my desk in a quiet, dark corner of my building. :asthing:

Also took a bunch of pictures of my soaking body and the downpiur and uploaded them on FaceBook. Just look up Trigger 11 and you should find 'em.

Tonight is my daughter's first sleep over. We'll have four screaming fourth grade girls all night and untill 1100 tomorrow. Can't decide if I should get my son to help prank the girls in the night or just let them get a free pass...this time.

Tonight is my daughter's first sleep over. We'll have four screaming fourth grade girls all night and untill 1100 tomorrow. Can't decide if I should get my son to help prank the girls in the night or just let them get a free pass...this time.

Depends on the prank.

Thanks, guys. It has been a new set of trials for me in many ways and I have really tried to make the best of what ever came my way.

I look back and there were so many baby steps along the way that I could easily have gone off track at many turns.

The funny thing is that this new job has absolutely NOTHING to do with all the studying I did a few months back.

I was doing my throwing dance with my daughter when my neighbor ponded on the door heavily enough for me to hear above our dance.

I'm sweating a little (she weighs sixty seven pounds) from all the energy we had going.


(don't worry, NT-minded types - we do this all the time. What impressed me is that she found the beat of East Indian music and began to keep the pulse on her OWN!! This is new! Don't worry about my heart either, as I only do this for ten to fifteen minutes at a time and almost every day.)

Got up waaayy earlier than I would have done, given a choice. Left behind my beloved cat, and traveled with two bickering children to holiday destination. Spent several maddening hours getting settled into the place, including troubleshooting the high-speed internet connection. (The amount we're paying to stay here, you'd think the telephone connector cables would all be up to snuff, but noooooo.  :grrr: :finger: ) Have been online for over an hour now, and am finally beginning to relax.

I wish I could tell you what was different in me today, so that you all could find it in yourselves.

I have no handle, no set sail, no heading that I can identify.

I just took (EXACTLY!!) zero shit today and I made it through a rougher than normal day.

maybe later I can find the handle, for you lot to grasp.

Woke up alert and refreshed, for a change.

I am one of those people who leaps out of bed on a daily basis and lands eight or more feet away from the pillow that had just comforted me, with a "kill" set in my demeanor. It takes me a moment to find reality, most of the time. Usually, it is my bladder that calls me to reason. I become human again, after a bit.
This (the instant kill instinct) is one of the things that makes me sometimes think that I am more cat than dog.

I have known clumsy cats, but I am more clumsy than the most drunken of cats, on occasion. I think, after all is added up, I am still a dog, even though my waking spazz is more like a cat than a dog.

My wife has learned to stay away from me, if she HAS to awaken me for some reason, because that part is not pretty. It is worse if I am awakened from without.


For me, calming down is the first order to seek, once I find what I am.


Sleep ended is fucking torture!  I honestly think that i will be fine with being dead, because I won't have to awaken anymore.

Linux is easier to maintain. You wouldn't have had a problem with your boot loader, at least.

XP doesn't recognise Vista properly so you probably need to do a fixmbr from your Vista install disk.

The bootable Linux CD method should work, too, and it might be a better option if all you need to do is to fix boot.ini. It sounds as if Windows XP did stuff to your HD's master boot record, though.

WoW!

I think I need one of those.

I got my buffing wheels out during the late winter and I polished all our aluminum kitchenware to a shine again. I used a wire wheel on all my neglected tools, but the one like you have closer to the camera is WAY too harsh for the tools I have blued. I use a brass brush on those and a fine steel brush on those with other plating or no finish at all. I want a super-fine textured one like that!

Stupid offsite "team building" meeting. We were behind schedule, so I present tomorrow morning. Gonna add music to my presentation tonight.

Right now I am working on my car during commercials, rotating tires, verifying brakes will pass inspection, oil change, etc. The inspection expired in March and I've been driving my other Sunfire since it expired today and may not pass inspection, so I will give it away or junk it if it doesn't pass. Basically I will now park it for awhile until I decide if I want to try and pass inspection or not. Wanted to get as many miles out of it as I could before decision time.

Will definitely be showering later. :zombiefuck:

Stupid offsite "team building" meeting. We were behind schedule, so I present tomorrow morning. Gonna add music to my presentation tonight.

Right now I am working on my car during commercials, rotating tires, verifying brakes will pass inspection, oil change, etc. The inspection expired in March and I've been driving my other Sunfire since it expired today and may not pass inspection, so I will give it away or junk it if it doesn't pass. Basically I will now park it for awhile until I decide if I want to try and pass inspection or not. Wanted to get as many miles out of it as I could before decision time.

Will definitely be showering later. :zombiefuck:
When I worked for Delatech we had all that go team go shit going on. There were a few who did little or nothing on a typical day but knew how to jerk off management for kudos. At my present job we have safety lunches instead and the shit doesn't get quite as deep. What music do you have in mind?

Thanks PPK. :) TEO had a few hours' layover between her arrival at Sydney and her connecting flight to Melbourne, so we had "morning tea" at the airport. A table in a rackety airline terminal isn't the most glamorous of venues, but we managed okay. She was holding up brilliantly for someone who'd just spent 15 hours on a plane. Lord Phlexor will be pleased to know that she has arrived safely in Melbourne, is settling in well there, and hopes to make it her permanent home. ;D

Discovered several weaknesses in my boss.  This was not really my day, but it was even LESS his day.

... not sure that everyone saw him fail so miserably, but I DID  -   in SPADES!!!


It is obvious to me now how he knew enough about my troubles to call my "literal"  mind to the floor (in private, only, so I forgive him)  and create a kind of rapport with me.

I have a spazz for a boss!

It is now so fucking obvious!!




(I allow him to be different on many levels - he is the guy, I have earlier mentioned, who discovered his father murdered by multiple gunshots upon his return home from school at the age of seventeen - he had to do a tat to commemorate the event though. My scars are within, not evident.  ... but finding how spazzy he can be, as my own self, is a relief in some ways.)

Helped my son pack for a camping trip. Sounds harmless enough, doesn't it? It wasn't. I sure as hell hope he has a good enough time on the excursion to justify all the agony we went through. The two neurotypicals in the family cleared off for a couple of hours while the third and final repacking of the rucksack was taking place. I think that is what eventually saved us from bloodshed....

Stayed in bed despite the kids climbing all over me! Finally got up at 1300! Played with kids! Watching Sox-Rays and planning to take son for haircut. Will ask about color options for myself, but not getting a cut yet. Probably should keep some length if I'm going to color it. Looking forward to, but sad about the final five episodes of Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends. Great show by a brilliant artist. Gonna watch the Bruins tonight. All the while thinking of a friend.

I complained about the promo being used. Our store is supposed to be a family friendly store, but there was a song playing with the lyrics,
  "F U C K me!"

I know that's not the title ("If You Seek Amy"  actually), but when I first heard the lyrics on the teen radio station, it was very obvious to me what was being sung. When I heard it on our promo loop disk, I pointed it out to my boss, who said that he could not even understand the lyrics and no one else will be able to either. I pulled it out of the mechanical player and ripped it to a folder then opened EAC on my live disk (I use this to rip any new music that I hear that I want to hear again) edited the rip and set aside the section that gives the song away and looped that section.

After about four plays, he heard it, FINALLY!!  He agrees with me. We should NOT play that song in our store!

"Oh, but it's a hit song!!"

DUH!!

Finally watched last week's episodes of How I Met Your Mother and Big Bang Theory after missing them this first week with the DVR, which only records two channels at a time and I watch House and Chuck at the same time. Gonna need to figure out a plan for tomorrow, since it was a pain in the arse finding Big Bang Theory in full episode form.

Finishing watching FOX Sunday Night Animation Domination right now. Missed it all working on the car and watching the Bruins lose. :zombiefuck:

You both have a point. If everyone would maintain their cars to keep them safe, then we wouldn't need mandated state inspections. However, far too many auto mechanics are corrupt and ripping people off. I am an exception these says, as I like to tinker and fix shit, so I always do shit on my cars instead of paying someone, even if it takes me months to figure it out and get it done. In the old days, you could have a good, honest auto mechanic you could go to and they wouldn't shaft you. When these pricks run into me, they soon realize I cannot be bullshitted.

You have just created a kind of impasse and contradiction, in my mind. It is NOT BB's job to watch after your shit, boy!

How is it Big Brother's job to take care of your own vehicles' safety functionality.  You can not possibly be a "real man"  (OK- woMEN are also included in this statement - please!) if you drive a car that could prove unreliable in any way, shape, means or fashion to yourself or any others around you.

Taking care of the mechanical safety apparatus/apparati of your own vehicle is basic to the privilege of having knowledge of such technology. Do NOT fuck this one up! Make sure that your own vehicle is always ready to drive across the nation at the highest speed it is capable of traveling with no notice whatsoever!!
You should NEVER be hindered by the condition of your vehicle!!

It should ALWAYS!! be ready to go, at a moment's notice!

This is a universal freedom you should NEVER take for granted!

I went to the university, since the researcher guy had made a typo while programming one of the tests and needed everyone to retake it.  While I was there, he showed me some of the preliminary results he'd come up with so far; there were significant differences between the Asperger's and control groups in the brain regions that activated during the tests.  Performance on two of the tests was roughly equal, , and on another couple of tests, the control group did better on one that involved identifying the direction of motion of a partially displayed dot figure in a noisy background, and the Asperger's group did better in a test that involved watching a dot figure (complete and without a noisy background) throwing a ball and rating it as being angry, happy, neutral or sad.  The last one is the one that needed to be redone though, so the final results may be different.

I am better, but not yet able to walk more than a few dozen yards. Getting better now though.

Apparently that fucking horribly painful shot into my spine is helping, as are the Vicodin and Flexotril.


Not really sure about the other drugs. I just wish I could have slept through some of this. Bordering on the max' of sleep deprivation and experiencing some anomalous visual and spiritual effects. I am no fool, though. At this point, I still know the difference in what is and what should never be.

Hell, NO!  It gears me up pretty good and if I take two, I get the shakes. Vicodin does help with the pain, though. In combination with 800mg of Ibuprophen (which also includes an anti-inflammatory element to its many effects) seems to help even more.

(Isn't Vicodin the 'scrip' drug that "House" has become addicted to using? Don't worry, they only gave me thirty and only one re-fill, so I doubt that I will become addicted)

Ypu should be okay man. I really love vicodin actually but I only take some when I get hurt or something. House on the other hand pops them like every five minutes. Then again, guy has lupus.

Lupus?  Aren't there about ten or twelve different kinds of presentation associated with Lupus?  Does that cause muscular atrophy? Is that why his quadriceps are deteriorating?

I really don't care for pills either, but when my leg is on fire (this hasn't happened in over five years - really!) and I can take a pill and make it stop for a few hours, then I can force myself to sleep.
I've made it all day without any pills, even at work. I hurt, but I can take this amount of pain, especially since I got some things back into place in my back and I don't feel like I am making myself die sooner by moving. I am back on track and I will address the bag later today.

If one has an infarction in a blood vessel suplying the heart muscle, it would be called a myocardial infarction or heart attack and it would lead to the death of the part of the heart muscle that is deprived of its blood supply.

House had an infarction in the blood vessel supplying his quadriceps muscle caused by an aneurysm, which led to muscle death.

His doctor was Cuddy and she wanted to amputate his leg but he refused to allow it.  Instead, he wanted them to restore blood flow to the necrotic tissue, and they did, but there had been a delay in this diagnosis.  The necrotic muscle tissue caused him to be in excrutiating pain, so he asked to be put into a medically induced coma.  His girlfriend Stacy was his medical proxy and after House was put into the coma she made the decision to allow the necrotic tissue to be removed.  The missing muscle is why he continues to be in pain and needs a cane to walk.

Replaced the valve and float assembly in our toilet cistern, since it had gotten blocked up or something and was taking forever to fill the cistern.  Whoever designed that toilet should be shot; it does a wonderful job of hiding pipes from people who're offended by such sights, but leaves almost no room to work with when trying to screw and unscrew things, which is a bit of a a bugger when the seals have welded themselves to the toilet/pipes and need a wrench to loosen them.  The old valve also used to take ages to refill the cistern and made a terrible racket while it was doing so, to the point that me and mum had to raise our voices to be heard when trying to talk to each other in the next room while it was refilling, even when it was brand new, and the new valve assembly is much quieter and quicker.

Learned a bunch of BBy shite, relating to my new job duties. I am determined to be worthy of my new salary scale.

The day, weather-wise, was incredible and I can understand why we were mostly NOT BUSY at work. I had time to do things that will help me do a better job. There were times when the employees outnumbered the customers - lol.

We also hired seven new people, who started today, to fill positions vacated by those who decided to not stay with the winning team in this economical climate.

I was hornswaggled into introducing them all to all the current employees (hard to do when you don't actually know everyone's names  :yikes:  but I survived, OK. Those who know me (after a year and a half) know that I don't know their names)  and starting the FNGs on their way towards "certification"  and earning their free uniform to "be like us"  for fuck's sake!!

I made them kneel at one point, so they could ALL listen to me and all, at the same time, understand that I will NOT help them fill out their training forms. They are instructed to find the answers from other employees, as an effort towards team building. I HAD to make them understand that I will NOT tell them extension telephone numbers, policies, expectations ... I let them up after they started to struggle against the concrete floor.

The big boss saw this and asked what I was doing. I told him that I was helping them to know how to deal with him.
:D  He laughed.

For me (not just today - it has taken about two weeks) I finished my product process plan for work. It's kind of difficult to come up with anything new or intriguing, because they have buttloads of crap laid out in detail in our SOP site, but I am expected to create my own plan for getting things done. Obviously, keeping my proposal within a set of possibilities I can manage is part of the challenge, since I will be judged in the future, not only in my adhering fairly closely to SOP, but how well I succeeded in implementing my own "signature plan" and how well it actually works.

My proposal is intended to be a living document of my employment in this middle supervisory level, however, and it is expected to evolve over time.

Green and brown anoles. They're everywhere here. The brown one lost the lower half of his left forelimb a few days ago, in a fight with another one that I didn't see, but that didn't stop him from biting the head of the green one that went after him today. He was protecting his territory and his woman, who was watching from the sidelines.

The green one ran before getting seriously injured. I read that the brown species are seriously endangering the green ones because they're more aggressive.

Hey, sometimes, questions answered, even harshly, can bring about beneficial change.
Still, I know it feels raw, even when expected. Hope the family heals well.

I always find a natural phenomenon to identify with the passing of a loved one and then every time I experience or view that particular glory of nature, I have pleasant thoughts of the one lost.

That started with my 10-year old daughter this school year and is likely to only get worse. Fortunately, she was a bit demanding and would complain when he didn't pay 100% attention to her at recess. If she keeps that up, they won't stick around.

I've been doing the Virginia Reel, today, with columns of unrelated numbers. My sense of humor has probably become random, as well.
(I was actually waging war on entropy, most of the day)

Yeah heaven forbid you step on a button or two while you're dancing the reel.  :P

I am organizing meds and playing messenger between scattered pockets of clarity while trying not to carry anything or anyone I should not.


WTF!!

Cleaned up much of the garden waste and began a new compost pile from all the huge pile of trimmings I made yesterday from four good sized trees.

I did an evil thing to one of my massive trees, which hangs over my new location for the pool. My heavy sawing job was not that different from what the power company does to everyone's trees when they get too near the power lines. I made a hatrack out of a nice shade tree. I cut it back harshly, but from a standpoint of educated expectation that it will grow back even better and stronger than it was by choosing my cuts very carefully. It just looks pretty barren right now and not that much different from a typical hatrack job.

I wasn't sure that I could still monkey my way up about thirty feet into a tree and saw big limbs out without hurting myself.

Finished a Programmatic Environment, Safety, and Occupational Health Evaluation for my program and submitted the PESHE for review by the Program Office. Document covers all of the environmental laws and regulations, including the NEPA.

I kick ass! My ADD keeps me from focusing well when I do these big documents, so I'd been screwing around on other stuff. Today was the deadline, and I planned to work all day Friday and Monday on it and be able to just scrub it today. Friday I was so groggy in the morning that I didn't make it to work until like 1300. Monday I screwed around on some other stuff, albeit important stuff. So I was left with today. I woke up again like Friday, completely groggy, and did not make it in until just before 1200. Found out I2 was blocked as a sex site, so I had to go elsewhere to occupy the other parts of my brain so the main part could concentrate on the PESHE. Eventually got I2 working on my iPhone and was able to really get going on the PESHE. Expected to be here until 1900 or so, but am already done. Now I have to goof off while we get a downpour, before heading home.

I am the king of procrastination!!!!! Especially during sex!!!!! Not sure why I added that bit! Advertising?

I read that gaining weight was a side effect that fewer than one in a thousand experienced.  It's more likely to reduce your appetite than to increase it.

This is what concerned me:

Venlafaxine is contraindicated to children, adolescents and young adults. According to the FDA analysis of clinical trials[23] venlafaxine caused a 5-fold increase (statistically significant) of suicidal ideation and behavior in subjects younger than 25.

Yes. If I missed the dose by a couple of hours I would experience withdrawal symptoms, and they were bad. Hard to explain. It was like your brain would stop for half a second every now and again. Very disturbing, very weird.

I've had bad side-effects from 6 anti-depressants or anti-depressant-type meds so far.  Fluoxetine and sertraline gave me anxiety, paranoia, perceptual disturbances, violent urges and homicidal ideation, lofepramine and venlafaxine made me sleep for 12-18 hours a day and feel exhausted all the time, mirtazapine dried up my mucus membranes and atomoxetine dried up my mucus membranes, gave me constipation and made me feel constantly fatigued, shitty and completely unmotivated.  None of them actually helped, as far as I could tell.

I think my brain doesn't get enough dopamine, and that boosting the synaptic concentrations of other neurotransmitters just pushes it even further off balance.  Amphetamine increases synaptic dopamine levels, and it's given me significant and wide-ranging improvements without much in the way of negative side-effects.

You had issues with Prozac?

Yep, hated its side-effects plus I overdosed on them.
What dosage were you on?
20mgs.  They were my first SSRIs.  Wonder if SNRIs are gonna be much different.

I do 60 mg of Fluoxetine (Prozac) and apparently do not have any significant side effects from it. I am on it to help with anxiety and OCD tendancies. Not sure it helps any, but I made a commitment to try and be more sociable to help my career and protect it with regards to my responsibility to the family. Was on Risperdol because it was supposed to help with sensory issues in people with ASDs, but after six months I saw no such benefit and loads of side effects. Was also on Strattera for my ADD tendancies, but that really fucked me up. Between the premature ejaculation issues to the sweats, I couldn't do it anymore. Personally don't feel I need anything and prefer to take nothing, but this was all part of my commitment to the family after being somewhat fired at work during my two years of self discovery about AS and piecing my entire life together. The irony being how the wife blames everything on me when she really should address her anger issues, but will make no effort towards working on things for the betterment of the family. Yet I am willing to take a medication I really don't need to prove my commitment to at least trying to fix things. I suppose I got duped into thinking she would be willing to make such a commitment, at least for the children. Should've known better! ::)

I'm waiting for mine. I was referred to a sleep study, some time ago, since I just can't seem to sleep properly. They'll also send some apparatus my way, to see if I get any oxygen while I sleep. :P



One of the first things they needed to either confirm or eliminate was apnoea.  They were laughing, when I awoke unexpectedly (and responded to both of them, beyond the glass), at how I breathe when I sleep. They were making jokes about my thinking that ALL the air was mine and i am close to hyperventilating, during deep sleep. 

They made extensive notes about this oddness, also. I am not even tended towards apnoea.

I think what happens is that I use (or maybe, conduct?) just as much energy, although, possibly more efficiently, when I sleep as when I do my fun things, but the flow of that energy is reversed.

Two-time Sleep Study veteran here. I stop breathing every twelve minutes or so and never get past stage 2. Use a CPAP now and it must work, because I have lot of deep and bizarre dreams now. Still am drowsy in mornin and all day, so it did not solve that problem. At least I am sleeping better and a bit longer, even if it wasn't the solution to the energy problem. Starting to wonder about vitamin deficiencies and diabetes.

Maybe if I got tired on some schedule I could sleep more regularly, too.

I insist that my "body clock" is much longer than my work day - always has been. Yes, I come home muscle-tired sometimes, but my muscles do not demand sleep, only a moment of rest. The need for sleep comes from someplace inside my mind. That's why I think the "perfect drug"  would put me out, quickly, and allow me to follow my workday schedule more closely.

I take a long time to get to sleep, unless I wait until I'm really, really tired before I go to bed; it's not unusual for me to lie in bed in the dark for several hours before finally drifting off.  Once I'm asleep, I find it very difficult to wake up, and can get back to sleep in seconds if I'm disturbed.  If I'm forced to get up too early, I can have a lingering feeling of disorientation and confusion for several hours, and can get straight back to sleep even after I've had a shower and gotten dressed.

Had to convince a new employee, who was injured in "IraQ 1,"   now working for us,  that I have never been in the military.

It has actually become a long story in a short time between he and I, but I am just trying my best to get other people to do their best. I told him I would bury the soft parts of his throat and stomach far away from his arms and legs, if he called me "Colonel"  again.
He knows I was kidding, but I made my point quite well.

His humour is astounding!  He gave me a demotion,  by three ranks. I am now his Captain. I really like the guy.

Spent the evening waiting in the ER while my wife got her foot X-rayed. She broke a toe yesterday.

Ouch!  Which toe and how did she break it?

The fourth one on her right foot. She managed to hit a door frame or corner in the cellar, while carrying a laundry basket. Didn't see where she put her foot.

That's because you Moomintrolls can't see your feet without a mirror. Your body shape doesn't allow it.  :P

She and I are hobbling around on the same foot, then.  Did they put her foot in a cast or boot or did they buddy tape the broken toe to her next toe?

They taped it. Said that it will probably hurt for the next week or two but should heal completely.

Pretty much the first time I met another autistic person IRL. Pretty cool. :)

Yeah, on SNRIs but they don't help with it.  I read that clomipramine is good but not sure if it can be mixed with other anti-depressants.

There is an author named Sloane who wrote Sci Fi in the late 1920s. He wrote a book called The Edge of Running Water which is fucking excellent, I think the publication date is 1929. It is a worthwhile read Rage.

There is an author named Sloane who wrote Sci Fi in the late 1920s. He wrote an excellent book called The Edge of Running Water which is fucking excellent, I think the publication date is 1929. It is a worthwhile read Rage.

Hey thanks man. I'll see if they have it. And one I get my comp back and all, i'll go on cam and read a paragraph of it out loud and post it on here since you told me about it.  :indeed:

I'm jealous!  :laugh:  I love second-hand bookstores.

Holy shit its one of my favorite things. The only thing that can make a second hand bookstore cooler is if they have really old vintage, and/or a bookstore cat.  ;)

A bookstore cat would be really awesome, haven't yet found one in London.  I love the feel of those places.  I think I even posted a picture of my favourite bookstore here  :lol: Do you really like books then?

Yeah. I'm always either reading, surfing the web, working out, or learning a skill. Sometimes vidya gaems too.  :green: But I REALLY like books.

I love 'em  :laugh:  Have books in piles all around my room cause I'm running out of space.  Can't really resist the 50p basement in the shop   :green:

Well thats one common intrest down.  :eyebrows:

Icing I think. They're edible anyway, although it would probably make you very sick to eat them all :P

I kept them though, if you leave them out they solidify properly and you can keep them - my mum still has one of a baby from when she graduated a few years ago (she is a midwife)

Little under 4 years. Had to get out early. Complications. Didn't get a dishonerable though. ;)

I have some gatorade, but can't keep that down. Bright red barf is a bit alarming, even when you know it's only gatorade.

The way you were taught to run as a soldier may be part of your problem and I just read that shin splints can develop into stress fractures if you overdo it.

If you can't think of any alternative exercises to stay in shape other than running, maybe you could use heat on your legs and do a warm-up and some stretching before your run and then do some more stretching and use ice on your legs after to reduce the inflammation.  Maybe Ibuprofen would help reduce the inflammation too.

I had physical therapy today and my ankle still hurt from the last time.

Oh well, I got through it.

I'm walking and running miles a day on bad shinsplints. Yeah i'm dumb.  :facepalm2:

Will they ever get better if you keep on doing that?

Lol no. And it'll make them worse actually, but I don't want to get out of shape. :duh:

Are there different exercises you can do that won't make things worse?

I'm a soldier dammit!

I don't wanna have a crippled soldier  :laugh:  Rest and don't push yourself that hard.

Yeah yeah. I'm resting right now actually. But remember. I work hard, and I PLAY hard.  :eyebrows:

 :facepalm2:

I'm warning you though, when I want to I can be as stubborn as hell   :zoinks:

When I want to I can be adorable as hell. I have weapons too.  :eyelash:

:razz:
:handjob:

Nice try :moon:

Lol Well i'll take the ass instead. Sounds good.  :eyebrows:

The way you were taught to run as a soldier may be part of your problem and I just read that shin splints can develop into stress fractures if you overdo it.

If you can't think of any alternative exercises to stay in shape other than running, maybe you could use heat on your legs and do a warm-up and some stretching before your run and then do some more stretching and use ice on your legs after to reduce the inflammation.  Maybe Ibuprofen would help reduce the inflammation too.

I know the tricks. Its a matter of time before I have to get it fixed, but its no big deal. Pain is nothing.

I'm glad that you already know the tricks. 

I think pain is your body's way of telling you that something is wrong.  I know that there are times that you have to work through the pain, but you don't want to ignore it to the point you actually make yourself worse instead of better.

If shinplints is the front of your shins (dictionary online refused to translate) you'd better take care. Pain may be nothing to you. But this can inflame massively, and then you will be sitting with your legs high for a while. It's the only thing I ever really got told off about, for going on sporting with them hurting and heating up.

Icepacks are a good idea, as well as getting shoes that dampen the hard contact with the ground during running.

Yep, he should read more Asterix and Obelix.

Then he would know that even the potion that makes the gauls invincible does not protect them from getting injured.

And at the moment, reading Asterix and Obelix would be a very good alternative to running.
Still training abs, while reading.

Today I went target shooting and had a good day. I also got a call driving back from Marin County from a friend who is  on a Foreman callout to one of the 3 big refinery projects in my local. He let me know there will be about 6 calls Monday or Teusday and that quite a few people they have out there are not familiar with Permitting procedures and other refinery specific work and safety practices so they need more of us that are to get stuff going. There is a Scrubber, a Butamer Plant and a Hydrogen Plant that will be built, starting at a five 10s schedule and moving to  six 10s and possibly seven 12s schedules as the jobs progress. This is exactly the kind of jobs to money up on over 4 to 6 months or longer. I got laid off my last job April 24th and went on vacation from May 2nd to the 12th so that time I was busy. Since then I have been a lazy slug and it's time to go back to work before my funds start to run low. If I get back to work soon and have it last then my next two overseas trips will be very doable in the next 18 to 24 months.

Got up, packed, checked out, ate at the B&J diner, saw the building that was in the B&J movie used as a hospital, went to a store and got a bunch of the Spokane World's fair items from 35 years ago. Then we drove out to Montana to surprise my parents with our visit. I also got to hold a baby that belongs to a friend of my brother's and she comes by and visits a lot with her child. When I was in high school, kids didn't want me holding their infants. Maybe they were afraid I would drop it since I frequently dropped my things on accident. That's why I sometimes worry about killing my child by accidentally dropping him or her.

I just used flagmod on OkCupid (I am a flagmod), and people were flagging Soph's account and trying to get Soph deleted.   Even claimed Soph was underage.   I vouched for Soph as far as not being underaged and said to leave it alone (not delete).

 :plus:

I'm glad you could stick up for her.  Why would someone claim she was underage?  Is it that she looks young in her pictures or were they just being malicious?
Eh, I think the people were angry over some trolling Soph did and they wanted the account to be deleted.    They used the excuse that Soph looks young for grounds for deletion.

Not really but since I only took them for two weeks, my body is not as used to them so it's easier to quit.  One of the side-effects which the doctor never told me about is weight gain which according to the horror stories I read can be up to 30 pounds if not more :aff:  No way am I gonna let that happen.

Typical NT thing to tell someone. That's one of the things that would really frustrate me growing up. I would get in trouble for violating one of their arbitrary nonsensical unwritten rules, and I was just expected to know what I did wrong. Even to this day, I look back at some of the times I was punished and I still have no idea what I did wrong.

Yeah it's annoying. I can't even remember making any bad posts.

You might not have gained weight, Bintty
I think most SSRIs and similar drugs have weight gain as a possible side effect, but you can also lose weight. I think weight gain is listed as a side effect of Prozac but I actually lost my appetite and barely ate anything when I was on it. You should carry on taking them if you think they might help with the depression.

Most people on Efexor seem to gain weight though from what I've read  :-\  I agree though, Citalopram put me off food completely which was awesome but in the long-term it did fuck all for my depression.  Nah, I will just ask my doctor for something different since I'm not prepared to take a risk.

Did two aerobic workouts
one strength training workout    I would like to note,  I improved on one of my exercises even though I am techinically protein deficent, and shouldn't have :o   I did at the same speed, as best I could, and in the same way.

Very small quantites of protein, and one giant can of tomatoes.

Practically nothing.

Oh and I bleached my kitchen floor to.

I memorized a list of  tasks, did it in a different order, and got everything on the list, that I didn't write down, ever. >:D

When I go they usually do the opposite - tell me how much I'm capable of by using other aspies as examples (look this guy's a retard too and he's married and has a job! :zoinks: )

Yeah that doesn't make me feel better, just makes me feel like even MORE of a failure  :lol:
Point out that some people are given far better opportunities than others. Boris Johnson remains a brilliant example of all this, same with Bill Gates and so on.

(http://i317.photobucket.com/albums/mm384/SleepyDragon_album/pct2.jpg)

I have a collection of small metal shape cutters, similar to cookie cutters. If the clay I'm working with is very soft, it won't always release from the cutter, so I've made punches to fit all the cutters. I used scrap clay (when you mix a lot of leftover clay together, you get battleship-grey coloured clay :) ) cured the pieces in the oven, then glued everything onto bits of toothpick with superglue. To give you an idea of the scale, the disc-handles are approx 15 mm (3/8th of an inch) in diameter.

I made a curtain out of a bamboo cane and some lightweight cloth, and mounted it onto the door frame going into my room to keep out blue bottles (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluebottle_fly).  They're the size of a small bee and every bit as noisy, and I was getting irritated with them constantly buzzing around my room after having flown in through the back door or open windows in other parts of the house.  I've swatted 10 of them just in the past couple of days, but at least now I don't have to worry about them dive-bombing my head while I'm sitting at the computer.

The cat is making off with its catch when the old couple go all ninja on its ass, and demolition ensues. I thought that vid would be a nice ornament for Rage's cat thread, but no such luck. :pout:

I don't know what I am talking about. I haven't shagged in almost six months. But I have been doing a lot of Vicodin this week for my neck, shoulder, arm, and back pain. I'd rather not have the pain though.

My class reunion s tomorrow. I'm not going. I'm much better talking on FaceBook or here than socializing in person. Knowing how much of a douche I am online, imagine me in person. Actually, it's best none of you did! :P

Been to the shop a couple times. Went for a walk but didn't really see anything interesting. There were a couple little kids on scooters down the road, one said hello to me a couple times and kept waving - kids are weird. This little girl was staring at me when I was buying crisps in the shop the other day, and kept asking her mum for some;. I think she was jealous I was allowed them and she wasn't  :laugh:

Also found out something cool which willbe fun

Fuck it what else? I really haven't done anything much today. Waste of a day.

Climbed the tree in the garden and saw a girl from my school in her pyjamas.

I got pissed off about some builders listening to a radio over the road before. I could hear it from inside my house and I hate it when that happens becuase I was trying to read.

But then when I passed them later that day, one of the guys nodded his head at me, and they seemed to have done a good job, so I feel bad for being so mad lol

Watched paint dry. No, really! ;D I'm doing a beadmaking technique that I've never tried before, with transparent clay and paint, and I can't move on to the next step until the pieces I've painted have dried.

... Actually I got a bit bored with that, fairly early on, and hung around the craft store at the shopping centre for awhile. Then I called in at a hardware store and bought some clear-gloss floor & furniture finish.

I am referring to interactions with people outside one's own group. It is a very different thing to have a rush of emotions on a date and hold hands. Know problems there, or in any other associated contact. But meeting somebody for the first time and being expected to shake hands or get an undesired pat on the arm
or back is a whole different story!

I can get comfortable with the people close to me, or in the case of the opposite sex, chemical reactions can override the unpleasantness of unexpected physical contact.

Paid the Gas/Electric bill, put money in the bank and then I had to access my email at the Library because I don't have a printer for my home PC. I downloaded hard copies of the remaining house papers that my grandmother had for sale and signed off my share and initialed a bunch of shit then I had to get it Notarized and sent it off to arrive Monday afternoon. If my siblings and cousins don't fuck the dog we can have it sold and checks mailed out within 2 to 3 weeks. I came up with a rough guess of $2800 to $3000 + apiece depending on a couple of variables. If the Refinery Projects look like they won't man up until September or October I might just go spend a week in Taupo. I already priced Katmai National Park and that is very expensive so it's a no go this year. And the fucking Religion of Peace assholes set off bombs in Jakarta so Indonesia is out of the question until I check out State Dept assessments.

You're welcome Pyraxis, ;D that related to the fact that my Grandmother died in Late June last year and her 2nd house sold so the Real Estate Agent has sent her grandkids releases to fill out and return direct to her so that all 20 someting releases don't have to go through my aunt and mother and thereby streamline the process. My aunt and mother are co executors of the Estate and have been working hard already wrapping things up.

I helped my brother try and ride his bike down the road round the corner yesterday. He's crap at it  :laugh:

Then I pulled out weeds in the garden. There were some really sreepy-looking spider-type things with long skinny legs that looked invisible so they just sorta looked like they were hovering around. Really creepy

Surely Java would be better for that. If you know C++, moving over to Java should be quite easy for you. Got a really good book called Java in 21 days by SAMS if you are up for learning.

I'll likely learn Java at some point, but I'm happy to stick with C++ for now.  I'm just starting to get the hang of it after putting a lot of time and effort into learning it, my current pet project is written in it, and it's well suited to the kinds of computationally-intensive simulations that I like to play around with.

Had the kids and the baby peed herself all over the bathroom floor, so I had to clean that up. Put together this Spider-Man Playset from the 95 Animated Series together for my son. I bought it used at The Great Escape Comic Book Shop and it had no directions. Spent a lot of the day, including the AM until about 0530 and then starting again at 2000 this evening working on my iTunes library. I am finally cleaning it up from the big hard-drive crash a few months back. While I was in there I downloaded some Happy Mondays.

@Callaway: I flew from Sydney to Canada for a 2-week stay because one of my grandmothers has terminal cancer and probably won't be with us for much longer. I've seen her a couple of times already. Whatever pain-management meds they have her on, she's the calmest I've ever known her to be, she's still got her wits about her and she still has a bit of physical stamina. She's in the right place and being looked after very well, so all in all, it's as good as it can be.

Most of Grandma's surviving family live a fair distance away, but come to visit whenever they can, especially now that she's sick. Also a former neighbour, still living in the same city, has been a good friend and an enormous help with arrangements for her care.

It's coming apart surprisingly well figuring it's older than I am (older than my mom actually) and has been sitting outside for the past five years.

 :D

A few yellow jackets that came out and attacked the back yard light when I turned it on and moved the grill last night are crawling around on the part of the nest that extended a few inches out of the grill.  It is black near the grill, but still gray on the rest, so I hope that part of the nest was killed, too.

I didn't want to spray wasp killer into the grill because we cook food there, but maybe I could spray some on the part of the nest that's outside the grill if I have to.

I had my brain fooled today.

Had handtherapy. And had to work with a mirror. I could only see my left hand, and the reflection of it, on the place where my right hand was supposed to be for my brain. Then I had to do things symmetrically with my left and my right hand. Very weird. Especially when after a while I noticed my right hand could come closer to the achievements the hand I could see could do.

Weird thing, tricking the brain like that. Very funny.

Now I've got sore muscles in my rightindexfinger  :lol:
Title: Re: What have you done today?
Post by: Adam on August 14, 2009, 11:53:43 AM
I thought there were no muscles in fingers?

like when you do taht thing where you have all your fingers straight apart from the middle one. if you then bend the middle one forward, it can only go so far. you can't bend it at the last jointy bit because it doesn't stretch that far when the other fingers are all straight.

can you tell i don't know shit about this kinda thing?  :laugh:

You're right  :facepalm2:

Quote
We work our fingers by remote control. Of course, in one sense, we work all of our moving body parts by remote control - the control center is our brain. However, the fingers are special, because there are no muscles inside the fingers. The muscles which bend the finger joints are located in the palm and up in the mid forearm, and are connected to the finger

Was good that they start functioning better anyway.

The flexor tendons in the palm and the nerves associated with them that join through the carpal tunnel are what control movement of the fingers. However, because of the thickness of the fingers it does FEEL like there is muscle tissue.

Got up around 11 AM AEST, looked around here for a bit, did some more drumming (Orbison and other stuff) and got back on here.

Debated with myself once again whether I should go for the entry-level Lortone 3A tumbler, taking a chance that I might actually USE the thing more than once every five years, or stick with the wet-dry sandpaper instead.

No, silly, :) I use it to knock the burrs and the fingerprints off the clay beads that I make. Or I could get a rock tumbler, which would do the job nearly as well, and not only free up some time, but might also spare my hands from future troubles with carpal tunnel and arthritis and whatnot.

These beads, for example, are quite rough and could do with a bit of sanding and polishing — the ones on the lower-right and left, especially.

Woke,

Got the kids ready for school.
Went to a nearby town to see my handtherapist. She made me a splint to wear during the night.
Bought a blouse on the way back.
Had the kids home for lunch.
Did my job.
And after the kids got home from school went with them to town, to buy my eldest new glasses.
Got them some clothes too.
Got home, made dinner.
Had a nice evening with the girls.
Got them to bed.
And am quite tired now of this day.

And between all that, I chatted when I had the chance.

Something like that today.

Took Xanax for the first time since my Mum died. Preemptively tried to make an appiontment with my psych whom I'm not supposed to see for another 6-8 weeks. Looked into counselling under the Federal Employ EEO system. Began putting together the evidence to support the claims I may be forced to report. Garned some supportfrom colleagues who agree with my plight and have gone through similar issues. Crie a little at how frustrating it is to have my belief system belittled and passed off as just me being psycho.

Indeed. A commercial shell the same size and load wouldn't even go half as high. It took me five hours to make meal powder in a ball mill I bought from a guy in Stockholm. Then I pressed some powder with 5% water with a jack and a homemade frame. Granulation took two more hours. Then I dried it for almost a week.  8)

Bass are good to eat.  My dad used to catch them sometimes, but he caught more catfish.

I was in Stockholm and had my lips done, again. I hope this is the last time.

After being under anesthesia, I feel like when I was a really young kid and could wake up and be trapped in a nightmare while half awake. It's what hell must feel like, if such a place existed. Agony. I would prefer to never do it again.

I can't think of many things more unpleasant than waking up from anesthesia, especially after not having gotten enough normal sleep. Maybe I'm just oversensitive but I feel like trapped in a state between hell and reality. I can't focus. I can see but it still feels like being blind and muddled. I can't connect things properly, A to B etc. Can't speak properly. Can't move my body. The worst part lasts for 2-3 hours. Then I feel anxious and restless for at least a day. I'm still feeling it.

One interesting fact is that Michael Jackson had his own anestethic doctor with him on some of his later tours, and just before he died he had apparently been asking for one again just to "be able to sleep". I would rather take a bullet in the head than to use anesthesia to get sleep. If it wasn't for my vanity and dislike of my natural looks I would have avoided it all together.

Found my old calculator, a Casio FX-602P scientific calculator that was pretty good for its day, around 25 years ago. The main board was damaged after a car crash (it was in my luggage in the back when my car ended up with the back against a tree) so I'm going to try to repair it. Looks like it is feasible.

I'll see what I can do. The damage is worse than I thought, though, so I'm not sure I can repair the damned thing myself. It's becoming an obsession, though, so I think I'll locate someone who can.

I cooked a spiced up autumn soup made mostly from things growing in the ground, green onion, carrot, potato, cabbage and those red things they use a lot in russian soups (rödbeta in swedish dunno what it's called in english), but I added a pepper fruit because of spicyness and extra antioxidants. I had this soup after a light sallad of baby spinach, tomato, mushrooms, onion, tuna, rice and non spicy red pepper.

today i went to the mental health place at the hospital, and there were a load of other crazy people there. one guy kept talking to everyone, and he asked my social worker if i was her brother, then asked my nana if i was her favourite grandkid  lol

(unfortunately i'm not, apparently she has no favourites :lol: )

afterwards an old woman came out and went up to my nana and said "i'm getting out today! are you?"
she must have thought my nana was a mental patient as well :LMAO:

my god we were there for fucking ages... musta been three hours

You're thinking of beetroot, and the soup you made sounds delicious.

Myself I ate a tuna steak, lightly seared with a coating of black pepper and sesame seed, served with potatoes, red capsicum, spinach, avocado salsa and mustard sauce.

I've only had one speeding ticket, and that was for driving 35 km/h on a 30 km/h road.

But tbh, it's not the speed as such that makes the car fun to drive, it's its willingness to accelerate, to perform. I'm going to miss it when I have to part from it. I've been thinking about getting rid of it before it gets to be too old.

Ah, I see. The Volvo 2.5T is a great engine. Ford is using a variant of it in the new Focus ST and RS models (same platform as the Volvo C30).


It has a very nice growl when accelerating.

It's got a lovely growl. That's something I'm really going to miss.

I'll probably end up with another turbo engine of some kind.

I found a new, unused copy of the japanese PSP version of Genso Suikoden 1 and 2, the best games ever made. Ofc I bought it.

Since I already know the full dialogue of these games in english translation, and I master basic japanese, these games will help me learn japanese for real. I'm so happy. Some of the best moments of my life was when I played these games in my teens. Since then I replayed them many times, but now it's four years ago since I touched them.

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/69/Psp_gs12.jpg)

I always worked best alone. I learned english through my favorite games, alone. The school was my enemy, but the games and fictional characters my friends and my english became fluent just from playing single player RPG's, without even interacting with real people.

I cleaned the house, got groceries, homeschooled the oldest, picked up the youngest from school, went to the pet store to buy supplies, went for a hike, fed the monkeys...er...offspring...and just shipped the youngest off her to dentist appt for her checkup and am quite happy that the ex gets to play taxi this time around.

Now I'm settled in on the couch with a blanket, I started a fire in the fireplace and I'm waiting for dinner to finish cooking. While dinner cooks itself, I'm having a glass of wine. *insert a smile and a sigh of contentment here*

No, I decided it wasn't such a good idea. The cedars in my yard would take down my house or my fence on the way down so that wouldn't work. The neighbours have a lovely maple, but it's smack dab in the middle of their yard and I wasn't sure how to go about it without causing a loud ruckus.Plus I think they'd hate me in the morning.  I suck as a criminal. I eventually had to break down and buy some pre-cut wood. Not nearly as much fun.  ;)

Worked on a loft conversion.


What are you converting to a loft? There are a lot of old warehouses around here that are converted to loft condos. They are so cool, with the original brick and concrete. You can really feel the history.

I'm improving the loft of my 2-story semi-detached home to make it more pleasant and to give it more usable space.  One of the previous owners of this house had floored most of it and created a room in the central portion, but there was a lot of wasted space in the eaves where it was variously unfloored, filled up with unused pipes and water tanks or only reachable by crawling on hands and knees for up to 10 metres.  The central room had been walled with low-density fibreboard, which was in a fairly sad state, and I've removed that.  I've also removed the water pipes and tanks, including some old lead pipes from when the house was first built, which has opened up a lot of space.  The lead pipes are interesting; they're really, really thick and heavy, but I can easily bend them with my hands and even roll them into a coil.

I'm going to put in new light fittings and wiring to replace the hodge-podge that's currently in place, lay down insulation and flooring where there isn't any, build shelving to take advantage of as much space as possible and to make it easy to access stored items and fill up a ragged gap that was left between the roof and the shared wall when the chimney was removed at some point in the past.

Skipped schooling for today because the kid is having a crap day and is dreadfully overtired. He curled up next to me and fell asleep about an hour ago. Poor boy is having a rough go of it. But I love the fact that he's nearly 11 and still likes to snuggle up to his Mum when he has a bad day. The sleep will do him good.

Just finished a playlist i was working on. This makes me happy because I'll be listening to it at night while I'm away.

I'm on my second load of laundry, got the cat his meds. Waiting on a call from the vets to find out the results 9of his latest blood panel. Still have to pack and shower. Things of that nature. Not leaving until 6pm though so I've got loads of time.

I'll type up the whole article tonight but a few of my favs"

"When you reach in a girls pants, it's like an exploratory thing. You're reaching around, hoping you don't find anything weird. And if I am in there and feel some kind of bump or something, i'm like, Excuse me, but what the hell is that?"

"I wage the never-ending battle to figure out where her clitoris is: Is it this thing? No, that's a fold of skin. What about this? No, that's a different fold of skin. Oh, THERE it is. Okay, yeah. You like that? Shoot. Lost it. Where was that thing again?"

"I have different reactions when girls have condoms ready. If she has a three pack in her dresser, that's good because she's safe. But if she has a 100 pack of Magnums in a candy jar by the bed? It's time to go."

:laugh:

Considering the 3 older boys are on the spectrum, yes.

The eldest, 13, is Mr Agro and the little policeman. Next is 12, and he has cronic ants in his pants and likes to act the clown constantly. 3rd is 7 and loves to run off on adventures and thinks he is an adult.

Lucky little Miss 2yo and Mr 8 month old are in the double pram.

Oh and the noise from the kids and the shopping centre in general had me on the verge of a meltdown, but I kept it all in.

At least we completed the mission of getting them shoes and we had Indian food in the food court.

I did my rounds (I'm a postie) and was extremely sociable today.
So this elderly lady started chatting to me, about her garden and plants, while she was sorting roots out of the soil with her hands. All off a sudden, she held up something else and said, "I could offer you a very yummy worm". I replied: "no thanks, I'm a vegetarian". I love it when people go on a tangent like that.

An hour later someone else in a bitchy man-hating mood, delightfully enraged, said she was going to invite me for a ladies only night.  :zoinks:

Well, that was enough of socialising for a day. Time to hide again.  :P

I had only slept for three hours. (So glad that I don't know what a hangover is, would have been hell  :evillaugh:)

Slowly got up, fed a kid, did my job. Had a talk with my neighbour. Chatted, did some shopping, had dinner, am now doing my washing and some tidying. And spending time on this addictive place.

Then want to get things ready for tomorrow. Going to visit a friend I've not seen for years.

One hand held the needle in the place, and the other gave him him lots of pets and I smooched the top of his head more times than I could count.

Went for a walk in a pleasant rural area. Met two gorgeous kelpie dogs. Collected some pieces of sandstone with beautifully-coloured layers in them, which I'm going to try to recreate in polymer clay. Ate a lovely pub lunch (chicken with avocado). Sussed out a flea-market location. Did some grocery shopping. Cooked a huge cauldron of ratatouille (with raspberry balsamic vinegar and fresh herbs!) and some beef rissoles. Got my behind wet while clearing leaves out of gutter in pouring rain. Wasted Spent quite a bit of time on here. ;D

So far I haven't done much. I've been on kid duty sinec 4am *groan* because the oldest keeps waking up at insane hours ready to start his day. I'm still trying to recover from yesterdays overstimulating shopping experience  :thumbdn:  and it doesn't seem to be in the cards for me. I've fed and played with the kids, gave the cat his meds, tidied up the family room and loaded the dishwasher. I just sent a text to the ex (he's working in the basement) saying I'm locking myself in my room for a bit of quiet time and I'm praying he'll stay home for a bit so I can have some down time. *crosses her crossable parts*

I think just getting through my frickin day was an accomplishment in itself. Dealt with a few hours worth of meltdowns with the oldest. Had a shower. Worked on lifeskills most of the day because any other work was pointless given his headspace today. Cleaned the kitchen but still have the front hall and family room left to do. Fielding calls from my parents and various doctors offices. Picked up the youngest from school and then played referee for the 35 mins drive home because the kids couldn't stop bickering. ::)

Fixed the fridge door.  The MDF facade on it was hitting and levering against the facade on the neighbouring cabinets, and the fridge wasn't closing properly, so I planed an edge of it to give it more space when opening and closing, and made some wooden wedges to lift the fridge a bit and hold it steady.  Also worked on some shelves for the garage, since at the moment everything in it is heaped on top of everything else or dangling from nails on the walls, and I'm sick of having pitchforks and rakes fly towards my face whenever I try to retrieve something.

Sealed a shower cubicle for a friend of my mum.  Some previous guy had made a complete mess of it, with big knobbly gobs of sealant in the corners and holes that let the water run into the walls and under the door, so I scraped it all away and resealed it.  Mum's partner came along and did his best to get on my nerves; he kept getting in my way, fiddled with things I'd rather he'd left alone, stared at me while I worked because he was bored and, by far the worst, incessantly hummed under his breath until I was about ready to strangle him.

Grinding away at my t-shirt design business. I'm making stock for fall and winter. It's not easy being a 21-year-old entrepreneur but my shirts do sell.

Visited the old folks home. I visit this lonely old man every Wednesday. His family is not contacting with him becuase they live across the country. I suspect elder abuse.
I believe their living their wonderful lives off of his misery and hard-earned money. I hate it when people dump their old folks in homes and take their money. It happens all the time.

Didn't sleep good last night.

Got my son off to school, beat the bus pulling in by a minute.

Fed cats.

Turned on the computer after running updates last night and met with the BSOD, safe mode...BSOD, safe mode from command prompt...BSOD, had coffee, considered how much jail time I would get for putting Bill Gates balls in a jar, and finally found a fix.

Took clothes downstairs in an attempt to start laundry, failed.

Tried cleaning the basement a little, failed.

Removed cat from blind, removed cat from curtain, removed other cat from cabinet.

Should have just went back to bed.

Made dinner.

Going to crawl in the tub. :zombiefuck:

Fed the monkeys
Got the ex and the youngest out the door in reasonable timing
Made breakfast for the oldest
Got his meds delivered and then administered (yay! We'll be back on track in 24 hours!)
Definitely got our answer that he's not ready to go off one of them (and he agrees)
Took a trip downtown
Had a nap
Had a shower
Made lunch

After getting back from the party last night I realized that I had the stink of cigar smoke on me.  :zombiefuck: So after bathing to get that smell off me I decided to detail strip my new M&P9c. Fortunately it was similar to both Glocks and SIGs in certain aspects so I did get it back together after a couple of false steps. This pistol is cool it compares well to the baby Glocks and P2000SK.

Does your youngest like Dr Seuss? My favorite by him when I was little was The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins. He was a brilliant childrens author, he knew how to write for children w/o  talking down to them. I fucking hated morons talking to me like I was stupid when I was little.

It's decent but not as good as I had hoped. That much hype is hard to live up to.

That said, it's well worth watching. It's fun and you jump form your seat more than once. ;D

Trying to buy something.

Shop was closed, despite the note saying they would be open today, had waited a few days for that. There was a phonenumber, two even. Tried that, but it did not help. So, tried getting it online. Cellphone network had died, and I could not make a payment because of that. Don't trust the shop will be open tomorrow. So, delay of at least two days more.

I just am not fond of shopping. Unless it is bread in my own village. Did manage to do that.

Oh, and further, all the things that happen almost everyday. Motivating my girls to wake up, domestic chores, chatting, cuddling girls, emailing, job, cooking, stuff like that.

Got my tickets from SFO to LAX and from LAX to OAK. I had the London tickets since last week but since my sister and I are going to meet in LAX had not gotten the first leg tickets. Then I put money in the bank and went to San Rafael to shoot my M&P9c, USP9 and P7PSP. While I was Southbound on Highway 101 I got stuck behind a fucking doodah booger eating moron doing 55 MPH in a 65 zone in the #2 lane. Other then that minor annoyance my day has gone well.

Dismantled and attempted to repair an electric pressure-washer.  It was a cheap, crappy one that packed up while mum's partner was cleaning his patio with it, so I decided to have a poke around inside it to see if there was anything fixable or salvageable.  I opened up the piston pump assembly and found the remains of a plastic washer between the swashplate and the pump cylinders that had partially melted and been mangled, so I took the pump and motor apart and used white spirit to remove the plastic-bits-and-lubricating-oil mixture that was gunking it up, and scraped away the plastic where it had encrusted on things, and now I'm going to see if I can find a suitable replacement for the washer.  If I can't get the pump working, I'll at least have a nice, big electric motor to play around with.

Made a 60cm x 170cm wooden shelf above my bed to make better use of the space in my room.  I intend for it to hold fish tanks and possibly other heavy items, so a lot of wood went into making it in order for it to be strong enough to take the weight, and a lot of effort went into turning some old, dirty scraps of tongue-and-grove boards and cheap, flimsy, ugly, water-saturated 18mm x 38mm battons into something attractive and useful.

Woke at my parents place.
Had breakfast.
Kissed my sleeping kids goodbye for a day.
Got on the train.
Bought short boots, brought others to get them repaired.
Got some little stuff from a shop on the way to the bus stop.
Took the bus,
Got home
Chatted a bit.
Did a massive mail-round. Also spamming the village with Christmas supermarket flyers. And delivering the last batch of plastic recycling bags.
Got me some bread from the bakery.
Came home,
Chatted some more, while drinking a litre of nice fruit juice.
Posted a bit here.

Now realise eating something is not that bad an idea, but can't bring myself to it yet.

Oh, and in between had a small talk to a brother on the phone. Will call him longer, later tonight.

Should have bought some flowers for my parents anniversary. Hope to get some nice ones tomorrow, at the train station.

Hehe, I though that shit was never gonna end.

To tell you the truth, I forgot to put the site back online after backing it up. I suck at multitasking.

We are all easily distracted by shiny things from time to time  :zoinks:

But it wasn't even shiny. :P

That's just shameful then, isn't it.

It's okay, Odeon. You can tell us you were wanking off to porn. We're all friends here. :laugh:

Let in a grey visitor with cold feet. Did that a few times today, because she wanted to get out now and then, to see if her boss was home to feed her. Baked a chocolate cake, decorated the room a bit for X mas. Made a path in both front and backyard. Getting away the dunes in front of the doors. Finished the decorating of the X-mas tree, after kids got bored and went out to play in the snow.
Ate chocolate cake with the kids, made dinner, saw Matilda with the girls. Tried to find something worthwhile reading here. And made some posts.

Oh, keep it all in one thread. Then I will have a clear idea where to go to for a diversion.

Won't be here much either I think. Somehow people find it important to send massive amounts of X-mas cards, and businesses find it important to send lots of junk too. So, I will be roaming snow-dunes with post-bags, and after that will be happy with some time with the young ladies. Things like that.

I have driven to the shops at 8:30 in the morning to avoid people who shop later in the day, bought stuff, came home and cleaned the kitchen and sorted out a lot of stuff in there. Found my old PECS pictures. Vacuumed the house and folded washing.

I watched House tonight, too.

Earlier today, I went to see the doctor who did my ankle surgery and he said it looks like it's healing well.  He let me graduate to wearing the boot instead of the splint, although he said the splint may be more comfortable for me to wear to bed and I still need to be completely non-weight bearing on that ankle for at least the next four weeks.  At least I can take off the boot in the shower and wash the area as soon as my stitches come out in another week.  There are several ink marks on my ankle and lower leg that were made to assure that the correct extremity was operated on.

The surgeon told me that the Osteochondral Defect was quite a bit larger than it appeared to be on the MRI and it was actually Stage 2 instead of Stage 1, so it would never have gotten better on its own without surgery.  As a matter of fact, he thinks it may have gotten worse since the MRI.  I said that it's a good thing we took care of it now, in that case.

Went to the GP with the little one, because her fever came back full force. Right in time, pneumonia in an early stage.

Had told their dad that I would not bring the girls to him, because of the youngest not being OK, and invited him here.
While he was with them, I did my job.

Got my groceries, dropped of some flowers at my neighbour.

Came home, ex still spending time with the kids gave me some time to chat.

Ex left, taking some stuff with him he could use and I did not mind being out of my house.

And after that I had a good time with the girls, despite some tantrums from the youngest, and even found some time to chat some more.

Ate something with the ladies.

Got a cleaning and changing spree and gave in to that, while the girls were playing extremely sweet.

Had some time with the girls after that. Toasting with them with bubbly grapejuice.

All that was technically yesterday, but for me it still feels like today.

Girls are sound asleep now, and I take my nightly down-time.

Got a domestic cleaning spree after midnight, finished what I had started on New Years Eve. Worked till 4 am, and was very content after that.
Slept, did not sleep in that much, expecting visitors.
Had a shower,
Got dressed,
Made a path in the snow,
Served my kids breakfast and had some tea myself.
Chatted,
Got my mother on the phone,
Tried phoning abroad, failed  :(
Got a phonecall from my visitors, they decided not to come, due to the weather.
Chatted some more.
Got a surprise visit from my ex, missing the girls.
Did give my youngest permission to go outside for ten minutes, very warmly dressed. Was too cruel to keep her inside the whole day today too.
Had dinner with my girls,
Watched part one of a bio on TV. Very well made.
Then had both girls on my lap, one not wanting to sleep, and one not able to sleep.
Got them in bed again and sat behind the computer.
Little one coming down again, nightmare like.
Put her on the couch, and she fell asleep within five minutes. By the relaxing light of some candles.
That was about it.  :P

Got really cross with my girls.

They are behaving like toddlers past week. Well, only during the time that I need to make dinner, but that is when toddlers and babies want the most attention, getting it by crying and tantrumming. And that is what they did, quarrel, nag, tantrum. UGH!!!

Today it was too much for me. And I snapped back enough to make an impression.

Met my brother at the dentist.  :laugh: Was fun.
Got a wisdomtooth pulled. Girls only needed sealing luckily.
Chatted
Got my hair cut.
Bought a couple of bra's
Visited my brother shortly and my little 1 yo nephew kissed me that much that his mum almost got jealous.
Ate with my girls at my parents,
got home by train and bus.
Had a lot of phonecalls, while I tried to get the girls tucked in.
Tried to fix my flat tire, but too tired to do that properly, since all the rubber has gone sticky and needs to be removed from the wheel rim. UGH.
Posting here,

More than enough for a day, luckily I had taken the day off.

Do you have any WD 40?

It might help with removing the sticky rubber from the wheel rim, since one of its uses is to remove roofing tar from circular saw blades.

This guy is head of the transportation unit at the festival. He'd been venting about me in length for the past few days over how I do my job at the cinema, spreading rumours about old incidents, rumours he knows are not true, telling people that I'm "difficult", and all this in front of my immediate colleagues, tech people and such whom I have to deal with on a daily basis. One of them mentioned this to me yesterday.

So I walked straight into a closed meeting this morning and explained to him that he should try to grow the balls to say the things he said to my face. Told him he is a gutless little coward. Then I walked out again.

This guy is head of the transportation unit at the festival. He'd been venting about me in length for the past few days over how I do my job at the cinema, spreading rumours about old incidents, rumours he knows are not true, telling people that I'm "difficult", and all this in front of my immediate colleagues, tech people and such whom I have to deal with on a daily basis. One of them mentioned this to me yesterday.

So I walked straight into a closed meeting this morning and explained to him that he should try to grow the balls to say the things he said to my face. Told him he is a gutless little coward. Then I walked out again.
i agree that if someone has something to say then they should say it to the person.

but you have to admit, you are a bit "difficult".
personally i would rather work with someone that is difficult and straightforward (you), than someone who acts one way to my face and another behind my back.  i value knowing where i stand with someone either good or bad and consistency.

It's at one of my favorite when going for a drive places.  I normally don't let him out of the truck though.  It's a small park on the Housatonic  River which goes to Long Island Sound there is a boat launch and a gazebo.  There are about 30 cats that several people feed living under the gazebo.  Normally they come out and taunt the dogs when I drive though sometimes I'll let them run free when nobody is there

Peas are in a separate bowl w/a tiny bit of ranch dressing and the meat gets dunked in the potatoes.

I was anemic when I was a kid and my mother tried to sneak beef liver onto my plate. 

I could not eat it.

I just looked and found a website with vegan sources of iron:

http://www.chezbettay.com/pages/health1/h_ironfoods1.html

I didn't realize that cooked soybeans and lentils have more iron than cooked spinach.

If you take iron supplements and they cause constipation, you can drink prune juice, which is also a reasonably good iron source.

I had an interview today, but it was a formality. Since more thatn one person applied for the position, they legally had to interview all of us, even though it was clear someone was getting promoted up to the position.

I got there and the secretary handed me a sheet of paper with 8 questions on it. She then read a formal statement explaining the process and started a clock giving me 10
minutes to prepare responses. I only got through 3 questions during my prep time.

Then she takes me into another room where three panel members sat there while I answered the questions on the form in as much detail as I wanted and in whatever order I wanted. Prior to starting they too read a formal statement about the process and how I had 40 minutes to talk. One of the panel members was from the Equal Employment Opportunity office to make sure everything met the legal guidelines.

I only used 25 minutes and was bouncing all around with the questions because they were all intertwined with respect to meeting the qualifications to do the job. Once I was done, the panel was supposed to ask additional questions based upon my responses to the written questions. They asked none. As if that was an indcation they really weren't interested in me for the position.

It was the wierdest interview I have ever done. That previous one was all about getting to know me and selling me on their organization and program. This was a joke.

That does sound like a very weird interview, like it was just a formality to interview the other people so they could claim they did it.  It was also weird they asked you no questions at all.

Fixed a tumble dryer belonging to mum's partner.  It had a lot of lint clogging it up and one of the carbon bearing pads had broken, so there was a lot of friction and the motor was stalling when trying to spin the drum.  I removed the broken pad and cleaned out most of the lint, and it's working now, but the machine is a piece of crap, so it might pack up again fairly soon.  It has sheet steel panels and struts that are so thin they warped and dented while I was handling them, and the mechanical timer is the most sophisticated component in it.

Cleaned out were the furnace filter goes and installed a new one.  Also put a cleanout near the damper for the upstairs duct work and checked to make sure the damper was open as it's been cold up there.  Next if it continues is opening the clean out on top of the furnace to look fr problems

I also found an item of mail that had been delivered to my house by mistake, and handed it to a postal supervisor!  :1st: <----- Good Citizen Award!

I have had many dreams like that...dreams about broken, rotting or loose teeth. Supposedly that's a common dream and there's some meaning behind it, but...pffft...to me it just means I've delayed my dental care long enough.

What did you do?

We offer alternate meal choices in addition to the main choice. Alternates are ordered on slips of paper which must be counted, and today I counted them earlier than I usually do, and I didn't re-count them until almost the last minute. Turns out one of the waitstaff submitted 5 orders after I counted them (my fault for changing my routine and not re-checking), so we had a mad dash to cook the 5 missing entrees in the microwave!  :duh: Dinner service was delayed about 10 minutes, which made everything else 10 minutes late. I do feel bad about it, but it turned out OK in the end.  :angel:

As long as people got what they ordered then it's okay.

I wonder what keeps going wrong at the drive-through. Maybe that speaker system is cheap and static-y, so the cooks don't hear your order correctly.

I think they just don't give a fuck because you will be all the way home before you realise. Fuckers.

Although we've got a lot of free food because of it. We're the type to ring up and complain. Years ago we lived near this Pizza Hut that fucked up our order. We got so many free pizzas out of that because they kept fucking up the free replacement pizzas too.  :duh:  :2thumbsup:

Word was, was that was the pizza hut they sent you to when they wanted you to leave instead of firing you. It had the worst assigned area for delivery, apparently it just didn't make sense and other such crap.

^ That happened with me at Domino's.....he he, I just realised.....it was kind of a 'domino' effect!

I always check my orders in the bay in the drive thru at places like McDonalds etc...if I have time. I CANNOT stand a fucked up order when I get home.

What also gets me with any take away, and sometimes meals that you have out....I look at them and think...'what fucker made this, and if you were making it for yourself fuckface, would it look like this?'....

you know, the 'salad' on your burger that is a pitiful 2 scrappy shreds of lettuce at McD's, or the onion that is one big hunk of onion mis sliced on the side....skimpy mayo or too much sauce exploding out the side...etc etc.

Although we've got a lot of free food because of it. We're the type to ring up and complain. Years ago we lived near this Pizza Hut that fucked up our order. We got so many free pizzas out of that because they kept fucking up the free replacement pizzas too.  :duh:  :2thumbsup:

^ That happened with me at Domino's.....he he, I just realised.....it was kind of a 'domino' effect!

I always check my orders in the bay in the drive thru at places like McDonalds etc...if I have time. I CANNOT stand a fucked up order when I get home.

What also gets me with any take away, and sometimes meals that you have out....I look at them and think...'what fucker made this, and if you were making it for yourself fuckface, would it look like this?'....

you know, the 'salad' on your burger that is a pitiful 2 scrappy shreds of lettuce at McD's, or the onion that is one big hunk of onion mis sliced on the side....skimpy mayo or too much sauce exploding out the side...etc etc.

Yeah big macs are the worst for that slapped together look. Lucky I don't get big macs.

Yes! Never seen one that looked like the menu pic!

I think that Big Mac is an urban myth, they just don't exist and never will! :laugh:

Reminds me of the hassle I had arranging a service call to set up my DSL. I kept giving the same information, over and over, to a series of service reps who would then put me on hold so I could go through the whole thing again. It took HOURS to set up a date and time for someone to drive to my house and set up the DSL for me!  :headexplode:

The homeguard used to have them here, or very similar ones, but homeguard people aren't allowed to have their guns at home anymore. As a civilian it's impossible if you're not a collector of guns or has some kind of profession where you are very familiar with guns, i.e. a cop or enlisted military person.

Today I started using YouTube as my personal radio station, so I can listen to beloved old favorite tunes that are hard to find on CD!  :notes:

Have you tried Pandora's Box?

www.pandora.com

From memory it was OK...what you do is select your preferred music bands etc and then it intuitively plays similar music, so you get nice surprises in between!

It's only available to US residents now, but it was about 4 years ago I first saw it and it wasn't bad then.

I woke at 4:15 am, and fell deep asleep at the first sounds of my alarm, three hours later.

Not the first time that the sound of the alarm works like a hypnotising device.

Did get up just in time to be able to race the kids fed and well out of the door for school at the right timing.

Oddly enough, I think I understand how this might work. You're lying in bed thinking, "Sooner or later the bloody alarm clock's going to go off in my ear. Soon. Any minute now. Any second now." And by the time it finally does go off in your ear, you have built yourself up to the point where you now heave a huge sigh of relief, say, "Whew, thank Unnamed Deity, now I can finally relax!" and you go straight back to sleep. Does this sound plausible?  :)

That, and the snooze option being programmed in me, to have a final short dozing off, every morning.

There should be ways to trigger that when in bed sleepless, waiting for the night to pass by.

There's some swelling and it feels like there's shards of something in there. And the nose thinks something is wrong cos it keeps on producing a lot of yucky stuff. So it feels like a bad cold.

It is better than yesterday, though. Thank you for asking. :)

Went to the church sale, everything was .25, found a few things but they were pretty much wiped out.

Coming home halfway along a small one-lane stretch past some parked cars some nutcase came flying around the turn and decided she didn't want to wait for me to get through and starts coming at me head on.

She finally stops near the last parked car at the end and motions me to back up the hill past the three other parked cars so that she can get through, while mouthing the word "bitch" about 4 times. Somehow I shoehorned myself between her and the last car (that was thankfully parked on a slant leaving me just enough room) and was able to get around her as she continued to run her mouth and point that I was inches away from her front bumper. I made sure to show her my appreciation with a friendly hand gesture as I slowly passed her.  :zoinks:

Sadly she did not get out of her car.  :'(

Anyway, I refused to reverse back and like you Hyke, was able to squeeze past with inches to spare. My window was down and just as he passed me, he screamed at me "You fuckin' slut!!!"

I had my daughter in my car with me...charming.

I remember my mother yelling "You shut your mouth!" out the car window at a rude driver who had just said something nasty to my father. That was about 30 years ago. Things have gotten so much rougher, it seems. You never know who's carrying a GUN these days! I'm glad I don't drive.  :o

Today I fumbled my vial of Strattera, spilling a few, so I will have to recount the batch to be sure I am not missing any. Then I fumbled my cup of water and spilled some on my hand and sleeve! Awesome coordination!  :1st:

Actually, the reality is the other way around. Violent crime has dropped significantly in the past 30 years.

The site clock is still an hour off from mine, though.  I thought they would be the same again now.  Maybe it just doesn't do daylight savings time.

I'm doing :laundry:

However, in a while I might start my daughter's Halloween costume.  She says she wants to be a dragon this year and she wants me to start on it now.

:-\

I'm guessing a ventilation pipe on the roof. There was a lot of snow this winter and I think when it got warmer, the snow moved and managed to bend the pipe, maybe creating a crack somewhere, allowing the water in and down to the first-floor ceiling.

I chased the leak for hours without finding it. I may have to pick apart some of the first-floor ceiling to see how the water travels.

This is so funny, I was thinking that today!

There was this very pretty girl in the city and she had little pouty lips and a cute perky nose...but then the more I looked at her, she looked, literally, like a pig.

Not to be mean....but as an example, it's kind of the same feeling I get about Angelina Jolie...sometimes she looks hot, but other times, I find her features incredibly odd.

Changing beds, washing, changing beds, washing. Comforting kid in between, shower her quiclkly, rub her warm and dry again.
Brave the other out of bed early, reminding her of today's challenge; she is not allowed to be grumpy today. It was her own fault that she went to bed that late, and no way her sister and I are going to suffer because of that.  :evillaugh:

They wouldn't make sense to anyone, though. What I love most about them is that they have my full attention, unlike waking life, much of which I tune out. When I'm in a dream, I'm fully engaged!  :thumbup:

My late-morning dream included a full-sized lion and an equally-large bear, who were napping on the concrete patio out the back, just outside the sliding doors. The bear woke up a bit and began to groom the lion, then they both edged closer to the wall of the house so as not to be lying in direct sunlight. The lady of the house was a little concerned that they might wander inside if the sliding doors were left open. She had a houseful of visitors, including several young children, who were there for a funeral reception.

A lot of my dreams take place in houses with multiple storeys and large numbers of rooms. It makes for some interesting transitions.  :o

Fixed an electric fire that mum likes for it's flame effect and glow.  Also familiarised myself with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and beat it over the head until it started playing nice with CUDA.

CUDA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA) is Nvidia's proprietary GPGPU architecture.  It uses a modified form of C that gets compiled separately from the rest of the C/C++ code, and getting it to compile in Visual Studio and enabling things like syntax highlighting and auto-completion requires some  tinkering with environment variables, project settings, configuration files and the Windows registry.

I cheat by not ironing. And there are other things to wear than shirts. You spazz.  :laugh: :blonde:

Heh, so you wear sweaters a lot then?  :laugh:

Anything that doesn't require ironing. :P

Dresses?  :zoinks:

I don't look good in dresses. :zoinks:

There's a style of dress that's right for everyone!  :laugh:

Maybe I just haven't found the rigth dress, then. :P

Asian theme thrown in with some good old mac and cheese.

What you call gyoza, I call gow gees. I love making them...and eating them. Good choice! I have them with sweet chilli sauce, soy or my favourite, a sweet soy sauce called Kecap Manis...it's thick and sweet.

When you watch CSI in Swedish how close do they get the voices  to the actors in English.  Some of the stuff on the Spanish channels here that are dubbed  are kinda funny with the voices they use

TV shows aren't dubbed to Swedish, thankfully. They are subtitled.

Germans do the same. And the Italian. And the Czech, sometimes. It's almost always bad beyond belief.

A spaghetti western has to be dubbed in German.

(memory lane, sorry)

Very glad that apart from children's programs, we don't have dubbing here.

What have I done today. Well, I cleaned out the study, filed all that paperwork, heaped all my girls' clothing rejects into charity bags. Cleaned up the desk, got rid of the old computer and set up my laptop there.

Also cleaned out the ironing room, got rid of the old desk, and sorted my painting supplies.

^ *I wish*  :P

These tasks just seem to keep getting put off!!

Some kids things are dubbed very well, good translations, good voices. Amazing. In cartoons I don't mind the dubbing then. Others are done without any effort. That's just an ordeal to hear. The girls sometimes watch a thing were every female character that is random is done by the same voice. I so hate it, hearing that same voice time and time again.

The better the cartoon, the better the dubbing it seems here. As if for quality there is the obligation for quality voices too.

The other dubbing makes me almost hate my own language though. Sounds absolutely horrible and stupid.

They usually speak with a Stockholm accent (which is pretty hated in many parts of Sweden, not least here in western Sweden) and it's supposed to sound "cool" but it just sounds nerdy.  :thumbdn:

Bossed kids around to get them in school in time, Some mild homework and a wee chat. Meeting with Job-coach, getting some vegetables and fruit from the market (And a piece of silk for a ridiculous price). Got home, got kids to school again. Put washing in the machine, and am now sitting down with something to drink.

Oh had a chat with my neighbour in the bus too.

I have had food poisoning twice in my life from pizza's, once at 14 and again when I was 21, both times very serious. I've only come to know and love them and forgive them in the past couple of years. I'll do any toppings...but Pizza Hut is a bit too greasy for my liking of late. These gourmet ones are to die for;

Spent the day at work but mostly without managing to do anything beyond annoying my workmates.

Sounds like a day well spent! :headbang2:

The more able of them will retaliate.

What exactly did you do? :zoinks:

Nothing easily explainable but it was a well-thought plan that took the whole day. :zoinks:

Now they'll be gunning for you! :litigious:

Watch your pant legs if you go through any tall grass. Tuck your legs into your socks if you do, they will crawl up inside your pant legs if they can seeking warmth.

My son & his friend came in with some on their jeans already. His friend took him "exploring" in the lot behind his house and I overheard him saying "that's one of those sticky bugs" like he kept finding the last week or so that didn't want to come off if they got on you.   :P

I took my daughter to the doctor for an ear infection and promised her we would set up the tent in the back yard if she was good and cooperated well with the doctor and if it wasn't raining when we got home.

It got very cloudy and rained as soon as we got home, so we set up the tent after it finished raining.  It looks like it might start raining again any minute, but she's happily playing in the tent on the patio just outside our back door, where I hope it will be protected from any high winds that might start blowing.  The original plan was to put the tent on her trampoline, which has a net all the way around it, but the tent was too big to fit.

Moved a futon couch thing into the living room.   Relocated my LCD TV, Xbox360, PS3 and my parents' Wii into the living room as well.   All 3 consoles plugged into my HDTV with my couch right in front of it.   Sweet!

Thanks, but it won't. I have to cut them all back, and there is quite a bit. Then I have to dig out as many roots as I can find. Then I have to keep an eye on the areas to see if any grow back and dig them out as soon as I see them. This could take years (or it could be as long as I live here, who knows). You can't even poison them, 99% of them die off, but they can grow back after that. Plus handling poison isn't fun.

If you keep mowing or cutting the area they should eventually die off I think.

If you keep mowing or cutting the area they should eventually die off I think.

Yeah I heard about the mowing over it regularly thing but I really want to get surgical on it's ass to get rid of them as quick as possible. Plus there's the fact that it's currently too big to mow over and also my mower is a pussy.

Started clearing the blackberries growing in our yard. FUCK YOU BLACKBERRIES!

Want blackberry jam. :'(

NO!

Not really.

But it's delicious! Oh well, maybe you can get some at the store. Yes, that's it! The store! :idea:

 :duh: soooo stupid!!!

wut :dunce:

I don't want blackberries, I don't want to be forced to remove them. I don't want to then eat blackberry jam to be reminded of the fact. I'd be quite happy if blackberries never existed right now.

I understand it now. Hope the removal goes relatively smoothly then.

Thanks, but it won't. I have to cut them all back, and there is quite a bit. Then I have to dig out as many roots as I can find. Then I have to keep an eye on the areas to see if any grow back and dig them out as soon as I see them. This could take years (or it could be as long as I live here, who knows). You can't even poison them, 99% of them die off, but they can grow back after that. Plus handling poison isn't fun.

They sound like the botanical equivalent of warts! :thumbdn:

They still come back after that, and I still have to remove the dead parts. It'll be easier when they are soft and alive rather than hard and dead. They go like wood when they are dead.

I have to ask you, my "friend,"  are you up for the "fight of your life?" 

If so, then you MIGHT win. You will have to address this challenge much like a brand new, unheard of game with an unknown enemy, waiting around every corner, that is impervious to your best weapons, you get few chances to renew your "life/resources,"  and even though you have an awesome strategy Cheat-guide, it is written in several languages that you can not read.


Otherwise, the blackberries will win this one. Accept that you will lose several bouts in this match and only after about three to five years of determined Ninja style onslaughts will you gain the trophy after defeating the Blackberry Monster, assuming that they are well established after about the same number of years. After three years, they are quite a challenge to remove.  Deal with this knowledge, if you are serious, because they will be back.  Blackberry bushes (along with all related brambles - fuck, maybe that is why someone named the invasive bastards "brambles.") grow from deep seated, long-lived rhizomes, which can spread for many meters and grow right up through concrete, if you decide to dump a few tons of crap in their way.  They will remain completely dormant for years, then suddenly spring up and re-establish themselves, six or eight meters away.

As Callaway mentioned,  glyphosate compounds will kill the upper growth, which you can then remove within a day or two (still soft, easy to remove if you wear sleeves. No plant will have any chance of surviving after absorbing glyphosate, if the toxin is introduced to the green parts of the plant during in its active growing stage)  Unfortunately, for your most heroic determination evidenced by your choice to use a harsh chemical means to gain ground for the short term battle in an ALL OUT WAR, the plant itself will not transfer any of the toxin to the deep, underground storage rhizomes, which are completely dormant and "not exchanging CO2 for O2"  or any other definable process that could resemble life, except storing sugars and DNA for the future. Once the environmental conditions are again right for an old rhizome to make it TO the surface, you are once again attacked by these invasive aliens.

The best success I have had at removing brambles was to bushhog (shred, mow or chop down to the ground, by what ever means is available to you) every bit of the plant that I can find. That, of course, stimulates the plant to grow back with extreme numbers of new suckers and many (not quite yet completely dormant) rhizomes jump back into growth. As the invaders begin to show a good establishment of greenery, blast the bastards with glyphosate, which will kill every plant cell that has any fluid connection at all to what is growing back (this first phase with cutting it all down and killing what re-grows takes about three months to complete).

Now that you are this far along, most people will think that they are done - and the fight is over, but this is when the enemy re-groups - this is actually when most people begin to LOSE the War of the Brambles.  Now, YOU know what to expect from this invasive tyrant, so you will win!!

You will have to be very strong in your determination, in order to NOT be overwhelmed by the new growth from deep-set rhizomes in the following season. (All you have done so far, is to throw down the gauntlet at your enemy's feet, spit in its face and shake your crotch in its general direction. Your enemy really feels the challenge now, in other words) You have the upper hand, though, because NOW, there are no bloody fucking canes to deal with and the glyphosate toxin will still kick its ass. Then continually tilling the soil and mowing throughout the coming season will keep your advantage (do not stop yet, because you will have at least one more season of re-growth to fight.)

You will win, if you keep up the fight!!

On a totally different note, Phlex, it is sad that you don't have on your property, forty or eighty meters by about three or four meters to devote to brambles.


I fucking love the berries, but I can not abide the growth habits in a small space.




I probably went a little bit overboard, but getting rid of brambles is a fucking BITCH, spitting out little bastards, the whole time.  It's a damn tough thing to do!  Understand that it actually takes about three seasons to completely eradicate brambles, generally, and you will have no rest until it is done. You can do it, but if you do not keep up the fight, they will only move a bit and re-establish themselves.

enough jokes  ...

I finished building and setting up my reconfigured, outdoor speakers last night. (every thing is in two large enclosures that weigh about four hundred pounds each - they will be "permanent" on my rear deck for a couple of years, I expect.) I am using (two per side) fifteen inch (cheaper Electrovoice from the nineties, bass drivers), one ten inch per side, (crossed at eighty Hz, they are the same era JBL guitar drivers for lower mids), one four inch diaphragm horn driver with an old set of "baby buttcheeks" horns for a waveguide, crossed at three hundred Hz -  they are fairly large, cheap these days, but they make quite a statement as an upper mid range driver set." (JBL as well) and dual, spanned, vertically set radial horns, each with one inch drivers  (two per side, crossed at around two KHz  -  I don't have anything that goes above fifteen KHz, but do I really NEED that kind of resolution out doors??  I think not!). I am running a four-way electronic crossover, dual thirty one band EQs, five hundred watts on the four Electrovoice fifteens, three hundred watts on each per side on the tens and the buttcheeks and one hundred fifty watts on the dual driver upper horns.  It is all just a bunch of mid eighties/nineties shit I had laying around (except for the buttcheeks, which I bought on eBay for thirty bucks each), but it is starting to sound pretty damn good out there.

I also took a dip in a very cold pool this morning.  (had to feel how the new speaker set addressed the water). I only lasted about an hour in the pool, but the sound of my back yard is really coming together.  (I dumped the massive low frequency horns, since they mostly just piss off the neighbors, anyway.  i have PLENTY of sound still!)

Apparently it is "one of the twenty Weeds of National Significance (WONS) in Australia" and in Victoria (my state) "it is one of the four State Priority Weed species". Which means I have to get rid of it.

Thank you for the detailed advice. From what I've read so far, and you confirm it, I get the impression that it is the herpes of the weed/plant world. I was thinking of weekly checks and digging out anything I find, but it sounds like from what you are advising that that will not be enough? Is the poison essential?

The poison is always a kind of shortcut.

You can kill it all, eventually, by preventing full growth, by making sure it never again forms a reproductive cane.

It is not like some Herpes, though, because you can cure this one.

You got it, it se4ems.


 


You have to treat it constantly with the required, horrible treatments designed to make it go away, you must resist the temptation to allow yourself any benefit from what treasure is right before your eyes (DO NOT ALLOW THE ENEMY TO MATURE TO THE POINT OF MAKING THE DELECTABLE FRUIT, EVER AGAIN! These bastardy invading aliens create even MORE rhizomes for future use, as you enjoy the fruits of this "BLACK WIDOW LOVER", blessed from the gods), ready for all time to enjoy as ever, you must continue to tolerate no "action"  from this piece of ground until all "herpes"  is gone.  


Put the acid (actually I am being metaphorical, now, since glysophate is quite alkaline.  Acid is for the Herpes.  :()  on the spots and look away, just like Herpes.

great analogy, BTW!

Loaded up the truck with stuff for donation, unloaded, :laundry:, cut the neighbors grass, & crawled up in the attic to find some of my son's shorts I forgot to bring down.

I think I lost 3 lbs.  :P

My neighbours get pissed off when I fire rockets and bombs.  :-\

It sounds like you need a pool.

A pool for firring rockets?  ???

The rockets are pretty OK, when they don't blow up by accident. The bombs irritate my neighbours a bit, when it's not Easter or New Year's Eve.

I was talking about getting yourself a pool as a way of looking up and seeing something besides a goddamn "empty sky!!"


Anyway, just because the sky is empty, that does NOT mean that it should be you or your troubles that fill it with fucking noise.





Let ME do that.

That makes no sense.

Did you NEARLY see your dog get hit by a car - meaning that your dog is most likely to be gravely injured, if alive at all and you were NOT watching it in traffic  -  or  did you see your dog ALMOST get hit by a car, because you were watching it,  which means that your dog is OK, right now?

If your dog is gone, then you have my empathy. I have lost a great many dogs in a great many of horrible deaths.

It's not as clean as my pseudo-perfectionist personality would like it to be.  But when you're not even 5 feet tall, you have to let some things get a lick and a promise.  I wanted to bake DH some cookie dough I got on the cheap.  But the oven smoked when I turned it on.  It was either clean the worst (newest) spilll or bake the cookies in a frying pan on top of the stove.

This worries me somewhat. Maybe you should have them, given all the stuff you take, and the fact that your doctor doesn't know all of it. (Tell him!)  :-\

I take Strattera, nothing else, and never drink alcohol, and still am regularly tested to make sure my liver is OK. Just a thought...

Also, a friend of a friend was on multiple meds for decades, was not monitored, and didn't realize her liver was being harmed till she went into liver failure.
A transplant failed to save her. :(

Again, just my civilian opinion, your doctor would know more.

Fixed it after dinner. And had a nice hot shower as a reward.

I unclogged a sink at the house, cleaned some bathrooms and vacuumed.

You were busy then! Do you like to multitask?  :multitask:
I like to multitask, as I feel that enables me to get more than one thing done at a time.   I wasn't that busy though.   I had been putting off the clogged sink for a while.

Thanks.  We had to take the tank off to replace the flush valve, so we replaced the rest of the inner works while we had it all taken apart.

It works fine now and there are no leaks.

WELL, the big new phones deliver a tiny little sound, even at maximum volume! So :plus: to me for buying the backup pair, which is working fine!

My dad actually had a concrete foundation for his burn barrel that was like Parts'.  We sorted our trash into burnable and not burnable and we smashed our aluminum cans for recycling long before it was cool to recycle, so we usually only had one bag of trash for the week that needed to be picked up by the trash truck.  I did a project on solar energy heating a doll house in sixth grade and my dad made a solar water heater for our roof as a preheater for our gas water heater, so we continued to have hot water at night but the burners didn't have to heat the water much at all in the daytime.

I was injured at work today. A very large metal shelf fell and trapped my hand. I had to have five stitches in the ER to put the skin covering my left distal interphalangeal back into place and secure it against movement.

Imy entire hand is very sore and swollen. There was some deeper injury as well, from being crushed, hence the massive swelling, but no bones have been broken. I will probably be fine in a couple of days.
 :violin:


Not really bitching too much, because right next to me and helping me free my hand was a guy who had put in sixteen hours today.  That guy had a really hard day!  I only had an injury.

Good thing that you didn't break any bones, but they should compensate you, anyway.

Good thing, indeed. It could easily have been much worse.

The company paid all my medical bills (which were not trivial, considering X-rays, Emergency Room treatment, stitching, hundreds of dollars in disposable medical supplies, such as steriles, anesthetics, tetanus shot, system hydration for blood loss, etc ...) and a bill for a really healthy prescription for Oxycodone (24!!) and paid me for a full day, even though I left four hours early to hit the ER.


I am not sure what else could be expected.   I do not have any expectation for acquiring any extra  "free money"  in compensation for an accident.

... or, Odeon,  are you talking about some kind of additional compensation for having been so "traumatised?"

Honstly, I was not traumatised by this. Yes my hand was crushed and penned down for about ten minutes, pealing away a good sized piece of skin from my knuckles, opening two major veins in my hand. It hurt. It bled. I needed help to free my hand, but I was not traumatised.

Hell, I have much larger scars than this is going to leave, made by "people"  who actually wanted to hurt me. That was a little traumatising, but a shelf falling on my hand is just that and nothing more.

Did you read about the guy in Hartford, Connecticut, I think.  His hand was trapped in a furnace he was trying to fix.  It became gangrenous (sp?) and he sawed off part of his arm trying to free himself.  He was rescued after 3 days.  I'm beginning to think it makes sense to call someone before I start a repair job and after I finish it just in case I have an accident.

Nah, I meant that accidents in the workplace are their responsibility, not yours, and at the very least you should not lose money because of this, even if you'd have to stay at home for a few days.

Not to worry. I am fine. 

I feel that paying for alll my bills to have the most accomplished medical system the world has ever known stitch my hand up, paying for my "take-home" pain meds, allowing me some latitude for being a "BIG FAT PUSS"  for a day or two was enough. I fully intend to make everyone around me know that I am down one of their strongest hands as the projects progress.


If the most finely expectant of my own judgment comes into play, the accident was my own fault. I will not accept that someone who was not doing what I was trying to do is to blame, sorry, but I am a  Proud American.


I was there at six AM, this morning. I had a few things to co-ordinate with the rest of my team.

If you saw how quickly I am healing, you would probably call me "Wolverine"  or some shit. All is good and there is no pain.   (I am saving the Oxycodone for when my back flares up - LoL!)

That's great that it is healing so quickly and doesn't hurt that much anymore, but maybe it would be better to give your hand more of a rest.  It would be bad if it got infected.

Today, all the swelling is gone, the discoloration is gone, the pain is non-existent, the thing looks like a boo-boo, not a massive injury. The scab is resilient. The scar will probably be minimal; just a fine, curvy line about two inches long.

I am fine, now.

I've helped my kids with the last preparations for the birthday of their dad, got them on the bus to him.
After that had my downtime, because they were totally hyped this morning, till everything was ready in a way they were content with. Then they calmed down.

Chatted a lot, did a bit of washing.

Then picked up kids, and ate at their dads place.
Got them home and quite happy in their beds.

Did nothing "useful" in the evening. Apart from making tea after having boiled the water three times.

And after my next cup of tea, I will go to my bed to sleep. Wound down enough to do that.

* History, Math, English, Life Skills and Social Skills with monkeyboy
* Talked to my Mum on the phone
* Took Destiny to the vet
* Had a nap
* Picked up monkeygirl from school
* Talked to my favourite person at her school. A Greek Grandpa that comes to pick up his granddaughter. He's the nicest man.
* Quick chat with two other Mums that I've come to enjoy talking to. This is huge for me because I find it hard to put myself out there.

Enough to dream about random obligatory socialising with people I don't know during a nap.

Second time in a week that I dream like that.

What do you think is triggering dreams like that? I find that my dreams are a way to problem solve issues I'm aware, or not aware of.

What do you think is triggering dreams like that? I find that my dreams are a way to problem solve issues I'm aware, or not aware of.

This seems to be my new repetitive dream, indicating overload of obligations that have to do with people.

Had it a few times before now. Always in times where there were to many unavoidable obligatory contacts with people.

I'm now overdosing on contacts on behalf of my oldest, to get support in the next school funded,
overdosing on contacts on my behalf, hoping to get a better fitting job,
and have entered the diagnostical circus with my youngest.

Missing out on my desperately needed free Mondays. Last one should have been a day off, but the phone never stopped ringing. And as long as my kids are not home, I will not turn off the phone.

In situations where I do have some control, and where it is not about socialising with bureaucracy the restless dreams are a lot different. And there is some good in them too, no matter how scary they can end. These overload dreams have nothing positive though. They are not scary in the classic nightmare way. But they do wake me up too often, and I wake exhausted after sleeping like that.

It will pass, once the bulk of bureaucracy has passed. And the bureaucracy has to be faced, alas. Such a waste of time. Answering the same questions again and again. Just for paperwork collectors.

After a lazy morning, I did my mail, with some surprise forms to be filled in. Making no sense at all. Hope they will pay us the extra time it took.
Took so much time that I had to race home inbetween, to be there for the girls, coming out of school. When they were settled and taken care off I went off again.
After that I had physiotherapy. Was really good.
Cooked a nice meal.
Fooled around with the girls.
Clipped an annoying hedge from neighbours who are moving out. (It was almost impossible to walk past, that far over the path)
Chatted with the other neighbour, while my girls fooled around with her dogs.
Cleaned up a bit.
Got the kids ready for and in bed.

And now I am sitting here, thinking of getting myself a beer,
Late daylight but the candles I lit in the garden are getting brighter.
The sky is magnificent.
I should get myself that beer, and enjoy it even more.  :laugh:

Tidied up the family room and loaded the dishwasher
Put together doing bags for each of the monkeys
Packed them up in the truck and went off for a few hours while I pay someone else to scrub my floors and bathrooms :thumbup:
Found a quiet place to park by the pond, kids read books and played in the backseat while I talked to the boy
Drove in an insane amount of rain that engulfed the truck and you could barely see out the window
Did the grocery shopping and thankfully the rain had stopped by the time we had to come out of the store.
Weeded more of the garden
Fed the monkeys
Now watching Spongebob while they eat yogurt and hang out on the couch together

Everyone inside got out but a fireman broke his ankle.  There was not much left of the house the house closest to it was heavily damaged maybe a loss too.  A house about 50 feet away had the vinyl siding melt off and another had smoke damage.  It was near the beach where the houses are packed in tight it had an empty lot on one side or it would have been worse.  They think it was struck by lightning

* Got dressed and took monkeyboy to the doctor
* After monkeyboys appt I had a quick talk therapy session with the doctor. She's great.
* Dropped my prescription off at the drug store and was going to wait for it but monkeyboys energy spiked so we made  a quick exit
* Came home to an empty house, made lunch
* The ex dropped off monkeygirl (they had gone to the park) and then he left for the day. Now it's just the three of us all sitting bum to bum on a loveseat in the family room. :laugh:

Fed and motivated girls to school, one early, one the usual time.
Made an appointment at the doctors.
Did some posting and pm-ing.
Made a handful of phonecalls, hoping to get some temporary preventive support for the 12 year old next year. Probably will happen. She fell between the proverbial cracks for non temporary support for now. Will go for that in March.
Raced around to get the first half of my mail done.
Tried to reach the Dad of my girls a few times, to remember him about tonight. He did not answer his phone, nor called back, so, he was not there.
Had girls for lunch, and chatted a short time with the Aussie bloke.
Raced around the next half of the mail, melting away half of my bum on the overheated saddle of my bicycle.
Raced to the doctors with the youngest. Waited for a long time there, There had gone something wrong in communication about the time I had to be there.
He thought she was OK, so that's good.
Gathered stuff for school camp for the youngest.
Made a quick dinner,
Went with both girls to the closure of the education program for kids who need a challenge. Was a proud Mum.
Got home, tried getting some hyper kids to bed.
Finished packing for the youngest.
And now I am here. Having a break.

Yes. She's a good buffer between him and monkeyboy. He said that due to monkeyboys autism, it makes him too unpredictable and he should always have 2 adults present at all times if monkeygirl is around so she's protected. Protected from what? Playing store together? Playing animal crossing on the Wii?  ::) But the good thing is that if the ex is more comfortable he's easier to be around and I feel more comfortable if she's there when he has the kids because he doesn't pull the stunts that he does here. So really, it's a very good thing.

I went to my Great-Aunt's 90th birthday today and had a great time.

Massacred a lot of ants.
I usually let them be, as long as they don't bother me. But now these ones had gone too far.
Making the place impossible for my Common Hollyhock to grow, and now heading towards my front door.
I used a kettle of hot boiling water.
Will give them the same treatment a couple of days in a row. That should minimise them enough for a while.
Had not given them this treatment last year. Before that, it was a yearly thing. Guess that is what got them so big now. Not being boiled last year.

Watched cartoons with the kids

Sat outside and painted with monkeygirl using our new watercolour paints
Made balloon animals - Made a sword for monkeyboy and a hat and fairy wings for monkey girl
Laid out on the deck and read books with monkeygirl and looked for shapes in the clouds.

I really do. It was the one thing in life that I knew right from the start, I wanted to do. I try as hard as I can to live in the moment with them. The end result is that my house could be tidier, and the laundry piles up. But I'm not feeling like I'm missing out on anything with them. They're only little for so long.

Spent half the day adjusting my daughter's brand new bicycle. I taught her a bit about how to tell which tool to use for which job and how to adjust her seat, her brakes, her handle bars, etc.  She picks this shit up so quickly!!


...    but mostly, I was simply attending to my (very needy)  daughter.  She had a hundred things for her daddy to do for her, today on his day off from work.  I tried to teach her how to do every thing she needed me to do.


(I do not know how else to help her, except to get her involved in TeH JoB of taking care of herself. At nine, she is old enough!)

Maybe some lasting good can come of this, since you will not make the same mistake, right!?!

(I consider not teaching kids shit when they are already dying to learn shit is criminal and always a mistake. Maybe YOU and your generation is the "Reset" generation and all your future progeny will benefit from the mistakes of your ancestors, due to your efforts)

Got followed by the dog with a criminal record and street restraining order too. (for attacking posties and newspaper boys)  Was the first time I saw him since I have my uniform. Was curious what would happen. But, it's a smart dog, so he did not react on the black and orange at all. Just kept an eye on me, as he should.

Finally got the kids out to the farm with monkeyboy proclaiming "I hate to admit it, but I'm glad you made me go. Sorry for calling you Mrs. Bossypants" :laugh:

Fed goats, horses, llamas, aplacas, donkeys, a cow, bunnies and sat on the grass with the two sweetest dogs. One a yellow lab and the other a black lab. The farm is pay as you can and you can bring lettuce, carrots, bread and apples to feed the animals. So I think I shall be spending a lot of time there. The man who owns the farm said he's never seen the llama and alpaca so friendly with people. They let me pet them and talk them even when I didn't have food. ;) Every time I walked away from their pen, the donkey who was in there would bray at me for me to come back and pet them some more. :laugh:

Oh, and my support worker filled in one too.

Bureaucracy rocks. Bless the paperwork. It's what makes a country slow.  :thumbup:

Two were about my job. How I like it and all. Funny, to have to answer if I am confident about the future of the company. How dare they ask it? They are sacking all employees with contracts of more than 25 hours a week. 11 000 people. All knowledge and all expertise will be gone. And they want to know how I see the future.
They have gone nuts officially now.
Why all these colleagues are being sacked is a mystery. They don't have enough employees. They are making a good profit, despite the recession. And then they go sacking all their long time loyal employees.

Got an e-mail from my best friend to say she's split up with her boyfriend and she's booked a trip to come over to visit me on Saturday. It was a big shock because I was supposed to be going over to Scotland in a couple of weeksto meet her and I was looking forward to that, but this is just as good. I haven't seen her in aroud 6 months so I'm dead excited. I've spent today cleaning the house from top to bottom and tomorrow I'll have to go out and do a huge shopping and get in loads of proper food as well as going out and buy stuff like bed clothes. I would have preferred if she'd given me a few more days to get organized because getting everything sorted by tomorrow will be very stressfull.
Anyway, I'm stressed out to the max but I'm dead excited. She's never been to Ireland before so I'll take her out to see the country. Can't wait :green:

I went out with some people to Ikea and we had lunch there. It was really good.  I bought a small step ladder. I also bought some biscuits and chocolate for my stepdad as it was his birthday on Sunday.
Met GA on the way home
Went to Centrelink
Went to the shops to buy some bread. We end up getting some of it for free. :)

Got an e-mail from my best friend to say she's split up with her boyfriend and she's booked a trip to come over to visit me on Saturday. It was a big shock because I was supposed to be going over to Scotland in a couple of weeksto meet her and I was looking forward to that, but this is just as good. I haven't seen her in aroud 6 months so I'm dead excited. I've spent today cleaning the house from top to bottom and tomorrow I'll have to go out and do a huge shopping and get in loads of proper food as well as going out and buy stuff like bed clothes. I would have preferred if she'd given me a few more days to get organized because getting everything sorted by tomorrow will be very stressfull.
Anyway, I'm stressed out to the max but I'm dead excited. She's never been to Ireland before so I'll take her out to see the country. Can't wait :green:

Have a wonderful time!

Here you both are having fun -----> :notes: :dance: :notes: :dance: :notes:

I don't eat seedless watermelons anymore. Fucking capitalist swizzledicks have fucked up watermelons and tomatoes by growing them to sell even though they destroy the taste.

I came across some research on the use of computerised working-memory training exercises in treating kids with ADHD, and I downloaded and tried out an n-back training program.  Working memory is my weakest mental attribute, so even a small improvement could be useful to me.

Back on June 17th I went to DMV for a vision exam to renew my drivers license. I took half the day off work then as well but I did not get out of the refinery in time because of an evacuation due to an incident at the Coker http://cbs5.com/local/valero.benecia.refinery.2.1773237.html (http://cbs5.com/local/valero.benecia.refinery.2.1773237.html)
So after getting off work an hour later than planned and slightly distracted and jangled  :asthing: I went to the DMV office to renew my drivers license but neglected to swap my eyeglasses for my contacts for better vision and bombed the eye exam due to my right eye being fucked up. I was given a temporary extension on my dl until August 15th and directed to have an eye Dr fill out a form regarding my vision.
So today I saw my eye Dr with my contacts on and she signed off on the form which I then took back to DMV and did my vision test and passed easily with the right eyewear on.   :zoinks: Being a dumbfuck isn't always easy but I am willing to give it a go every once in a while. Without a dl I would not be able to keep my job but, as it turned out, the only difference now is that my dl will have a Corrective Lenses required stipulation on it.
Oddly enough with contacts my shitty right eye is stronger than the left at 20/25.

After the houseguests left, I watched Kill Bill 1 and 2.

I loves me some Kill Bill!! :)



I went shopping and bought myself a new bag.

Kill Bill is a very good film to watch when you feel homicidal.

Technically this was yesterday, but I met with my doc. He didn't want to prescribe new meds to me. :(

Why not?  :-\

He didn't think they'd help, I suppose. He urged me to contact a CBT therapist instead.

Here's a book that helped me a lot:

http://www.amazon.com/Stop-Obsessing-OvercomeObsessions-Compulsions/dp/0553353500

One of my current OCD problems is that I get stuck on reading, thinking I can't understand the words, so this is going to be tough. Think ADD meets OCD and you have some idea of what it's like.

Does it help to have a dictionary nearby when you read?

No, I'd have that same problem with the dictionary because it happens once I think about it. Funny thing is that I have no problems reading here, right now. My doc says it's my OCD acting up but when it started happening last year I thought I had Alzheimers or something.

For a brief period at about age 13, I was very compulsive about reading all my notes, from all my classes, every night, from the beginning. As the term went on, that got to be a LOT of notes. And if I lost my concentration while reading, I would go all the way back and start over. I wasn't really studying in an effective way, just going through a pointless and rather punishing OCD exercise. Reading in that very self-conscious way can definitely begin to make things NOT make sense, it all begins to look like  :blah: :blah: :blah:  ...which could probably make you question your comprehension skills.

I've started translating stuff to Swedish while I read but that ruins the flow, obviously, and I start doubting myself for every word I don't translate, if that makes sense.

My OCD doesn't relly affect my reading so I dunno what that;s like. I'm guessing it is pretty shitty for someone like you tho as you seem to be a big reader. I hve little obsessive compulsive things I get sometimes like having to re-read things, but not bad enough to be my OCD

Ruining the flow  is exactly what bothered me about the way I was reading at that time in school! I didn't trust myself to retain the information unless it entered my head in an unbroken stream. I don't know why I worried about that, since I'd found reading easy (though I have always "skipped around"; maybe I was trying to impose discipline on myself).

And I read only in English, so I've never had the experience of translating from one language into another.  :chin:

I can barely read a sentence before the OCD kicks in and forces me to read it again, thinking that I don't understand the words. Whatever meaning there was disappears and there's this weird emptiness instead.

That's a very good description. That's pretty much what it is like. It's a combination of lacking focus and me feeling forced to go back and try to make sense of it all, needing to log every single word.

I went to the store for milk. Not that exciting, right?  While I was walking into the store I noticed a major storm cloud approaching, basically the entire horizon had taken on the color and texture of roiling, boiling pitch. I tried to hustle inside the store, but it took way too long for the inconsiderate people in front of me to finish.

About one second after I placed my bank card into the slot (paying most efficiently and getting the fuck out as quickly as possible), I felt the entire building shake from very close thunder. I decided to brave the ridiculous rain and wind and ran to my car - I rarely actually  run these days, but today, I ran like a lone wolf chased by every Hound of the Baskervilles - I still got soaked.  I had made it about nine steps (not even one twentieth of the way to the car yet) The clouds seemed to do a wet sneeze all over the entire neighborhood; major wind, an almost totally solid sheet of W3TN3SS.  I had not a single dry thread on when i slammed my car door and I could not see the car parked in the spot in front of my car.  I sat there for a moment, wondering if I was still breathing or if I had suddenly developed gills.

I was not far from home, but I drove very slowly through the storm. I sat in teh driveway of my house for over ten minutes waiting for the storm to subside a bit, so I could run inside.

The Storm was waiting for me.

Once I finally finished the top half of my pipe, I decided to just go for it. It was not two minutes after I decided to get even more soaked to the marrow, this driving stampede of rain slowed down to a worm crawl.


The storm had indeed waited for me.

Sometimes reading out loud would help. Because I could still understand when I heard the words, but not when reading them, so I kind of read them out loud, and only would understand them when I heard them. If that makes sense.

LoL

Thanks. Your words are direct, yet kind as they cast warm shadows upon my heart.

I am not sure if it is more a reflection upon my lack of talent that no one reads of about ninety nine point nine percent of my imagination or the varying factors that I have had to suffer, each causing trouble in its own way regarding my being published, reflects upon society as a whole.  

It is much easier to think of it all as my own fault and just keep going. I will never stop, I will never become discouraged, despite the fact most of the really weighty and well thought out stuff just falls out of my mouth, moment by moment, and never is written down at all.  Hell, I hear that dead poets fucking rule. I await my own chance at a crown of thorns, completely free of any hate for or ambition toward the present emperor's  reign.
 :hahaha:


I have never stopped writing, but I have not yet published more than a few reviews of music.

LoL

I don't think Alzheimer's would present like this, though, and neither did my doc.

That's good to hear. My psychiatrist didn't think I needed to worry either. Still, I don't like this forgetting business.  :(

No, it's pretty awful.

This is more about me thinking that I don't know what the words mean, though. Well, I think so. :-\

For a brief period at about age 13, I was very compulsive about reading all my notes, from all my classes, every night, from the beginning. As the term went on, that got to be a LOT of notes. And if I lost my concentration while reading, I would go all the way back and start over. I wasn't really studying in an effective way, just going through a pointless and rather punishing OCD exercise. Reading in that very self-conscious way can definitely begin to make things NOT make sense, it all begins to look like  :blah: :blah: :blah:  ...which could probably make you question your comprehension skills.

Part of the reasons why I did not manage to finish my studies.

I got more and more disoriented too, when reading. Just stopping comprehending a thing, while still reading the words. And then zone out completely.
Sometimes reading out loud would help. Because I could still understand when I heard the words, but not when reading them, so I kind of read them out loud, and only would understand them when I heard them. If that makes sense.

Perfect sense.

Can you read books now?

Depends.

At the moment not so well. I can do a simple story. And shorter things. And, online reading goes well too.
But the thought of some bigger things related to my studies almost frighten me, knowing I will get lost and bewildered.
If that changes one day, I may try going for my masters. Only one year of work to do. But at the moment it is unthinkable.

I also noticed I find it easier to read on things that I experience and work with in practical life, than reading something theoretical without a connection to what I am doing.

Thanks for bringing this subject up btw. Makes it clearer for me. I thought it was one of my, only few, dyslectic traits acting up, getting disoriented in texts. But this makes more sense.

I've started translating stuff to Swedish while I read but that ruins the flow, obviously, and I start doubting myself for every word I don't translate, if that makes sense.

(I know, this whole thing doesn't make sense.)

It has helped me to use English-English dictionaries and German-German (though the quality of the latter is abominable). Not switching between languages helped keep up the flow, even when using a dictionary.

Had a meeting with my job-coach in a café. My girls came with me, sitting at an other table they enjoyed themselves well.

After that we went for some errands, but, because of a massive thunderstorm we more hopped from shop to shop to get where we needed to be. And we bought all kinds off stuff that I always forget, but could do with. And on good bargain prices too.

Nice enough, shopping like that. Shopping street and shops almost barren, then it is very doable, also with two girly girls.

I do not think I have ever done that in my entire life.

With drugs and drink I have made almost eight hours a few times, but never more than that on my own.

I am at a stage of my life where extra rest would REALLY help my aging joints, but I can not do anything that helps me sleep more than my normal three or four hours at a setting, except to get really drunk.

I have been off of alcohol since January, though. I am not interested in going back down that dark hallway any time soon.

I usually sleep for 7-9 hours when I'm taking dexamphetamine and caffeine, and I slept for 12-16 hours a day, split into a couple of blocks, when I took a break from the stimulants recently.  Some of that was rebound, but I used to sleep for 10-12 hours when I was just taking caffeine.

Caffeine is my drug of choice these days.  It is one drug that I can control.

Depending upon how I use/abuse it, I am afforded a whole set of differing affects from which to choose.  (Quantity is the key for me  "One cup makes you smaller and two cups make you tall"  type of thiong)





Right now, after having another altercation in traffic that I could have avoided, I am having a lot of trouble sleeping.  I feel that I have failed to reach a level of calmness toward which I have just been been tested, well, last week I was tested and I failed.

I have an earworm from my sleep, lately.  I generally remember many dreams, but lately I can not - I only remember this song.

It is an ancient - from my youth - Eric Burden and the Animals' song, "Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood"  I want to find a way for this to mean something to me, but it means so many other things that I can not imagine how it has become such a "burden"  upon me to bear the memory of this song.

Cool that you get a chance to makes someone's stuff work right.
:woohoo:



It was fun. It was one of those midrange Marantz receivers with Audyssey MultiEQ setup and a measurement mic. The software wanted to output LFE in the fronts, too, which was pure madness. His speakers were fairly small JBLs and it should be obvious that they were never meant to handle anything even approaching that.

Once we let every speaker do their job without trying to share it with the others, it all came together beautifully. Now my friend's problem is a large cabinet full of crystal glasses that starts vibrating whenever the sub awakens. ;D

Had a long talk with my daughter about her anger explosions. And how we can try to find ways to make her get some control over that a bit easier.

Feels good to help someone, eh? I made the promise to myself many years ago to ONLY give it away to those I care about. I have done a lot for many bands, schools and churches, but since that time, I have never taken a cent for my work.

This promise to myself has allowed me to find new joy from my art, joy that I had thought I had lost forever. I hope that you have found a moment of joy in helping your "friend."

It felt very good. The best part about setting up sound equipment is always the final test, the time when you listen to your favourite test piece and know you got it right. It's never perfect but sometimes it's close enough.

I do help my friends if they ask me.

Good point, I was originally going to save up for a new iPhone but since I heard that there has been huge problems with it like signal problems, I was now thinking of just getting a HTC instead, I always thought they were good also and costs around £100 or more.

Sleeping in. Work, take care of the kids, as far as they wanted someone around, chatted, clipped a hedge, prepared ourselves for a big thunderstorm we were warned for. Was disappointed by the meagre rain with two or three thunderstrikes it turned out to be.
Had my kids in bed late, but content and cuddly. Had three phonecalls. Am all over the place. But also happy to know now that the girls will be visiting their dad tomorrow. I will have some hours alone, after work.

I wish I could have alone time, the only alone time I get is when my siblings are in school, and I always spend my idle time on the forums. :LOL:
As for me, I get heavy rain tomorrow, good thing I ain't going out again, I was about soaking when I came back in the house today.

We did get massive rain wind and thunder last Saturday. The night was more lit than not lit by flashing.
Monday, it poured most of the afternoon, quite some thunder too.
Now there was this massive warning. And it was almost nothing, compared to the days before. And hardly any wind.
South of the country did get lots of problems though.

I have my alone time on Mondays, when it is not a holiday for the kids. Now summer holiday has started, and I rely on the night-hours to get some solitude.
Maybe the girls will be staying at their dad overnight too somewhere during the holidays. Would be good for all of us.

I had a dream where things were trying to eat me, which started off with my brain attempting to fit the mythical basilisk into a biologically plausible framework.  My brain settled on a species of giant monitor lizard that looked a bit like a land-adapted moasaur and produced a sticky, yellow venom that it left lying in patches on the ground and strung between trees, which acted as a contact poison and killed or incapacitated any prey that got it on their skin.

After nearly getting eaten by the basilisk, I spent a while trying to avoid being eaten by a spinosaurus, and later by a pack of spinosaurus, and I was 'saved' by a meteroite impact that also nearly killed me.

I used to get them up to a few times a week, but they've been quite rare for the past couple of years.  They usually happen when I get woken up too early and go back to sleep, which happened to me a couple of times this morning, and they're often influenced by things like a full bladder or overheating in bed, and they're more frequent when I'm stressed about things.  They can range in realism from looking and behaving like simple 3D computer games such as Doom, to fully realistic smell-the-breath-of-the-thing-that's-trying-to-eat-you affairs that take place in huge 3D landscapes with mountains, forests, lakes and rivers that stretch for kilometres, detailed interiors of buildings, exterior urban locations, or spaces that correspond to computer games that I've played, and they can range from being faithful reconstructions of locations, people and objects from my memory, to being completely invented from abstract concepts, but often have both remembered and invented elements to them.

Yea, also the pointless argument was indeed about WP and how people complain how I said "everything seemed better when the mods were fired" but was meant to say it seemed better when there was less mods. It was an argument with a former mod.

But yea, I saw it as pointless because I'm just fed up of stupid WP dramas to the point where it just bores me.

I used to get them up to a few times a week, but they've been quite rare for the past couple of years.  They usually happen when I get woken up too early and go back to sleep, which happened to me a couple of times this morning, and they're often influenced by things like a full bladder or overheating in bed, and they're more frequent when I'm stressed about things.  They can range in realism from looking and behaving like simple 3D computer games such as Doom, to fully realistic smell-the-breath-of-the-thing-that's-trying-to-eat-you affairs that take place in huge 3D landscapes with mountains, forests, lakes and rivers that stretch for kilometres, detailed interiors of buildings, exterior urban locations, or spaces that correspond to computer games that I've played, and they can range from being faithful reconstructions of locations, people and objects from my memory, to being completely invented from abstract concepts, but often have both remembered and invented elements to them.

Your dreams sound fantastic! Mine are vivid, but not like yours!  :orly:

They're often rather interesting and memorable.  Last night I dreamt that I was in a lecture hall with Richard Feynmann and Rachel Maddow giving the lecture and a class of navy cadets taking notes, which was pretty tame by my standards.

I had a dream where things were trying to eat me, which started off with my brain attempting to fit the mythical basilisk into a biologically plausible framework.  My brain settled on a species of giant monitor lizard that looked a bit like a land-adapted moasaur and produced a sticky, yellow venom that it left lying in patches on the ground and strung between trees, which acted as a contact poison and killed or incapacitated any prey that got it on their skin.

After nearly getting eaten by the basilisk, I spent a while trying to avoid being eaten by a spinosaurus, and later by a pack of spinosaurus, and I was 'saved' by a meteroite impact that also nearly killed me.

Picked up a cake and went to friends house in Antioch and had bbq ribs, coleslaw, beans with hammocks, fresh real tomatoes and avacados, pineapple, root beer and cake. These parties are a mixed blessing as I need to get out and socialize and I like these people but sometimes there will be 30 to 40 people at their house. Today there was only 10 to 15 people there at a time so it was not draining at all.  :thumbup:

*watched the ex dramatically throw himself into the front door and then do a fake fall and then blame it on me for locking the door. I told him it works better if you try and open doors before going through them.  ::)

*he scared the shit out of monkeyboy then tripped over himself in apologies. Monkeyboy told me later it's just the usual Dad and now he knows why I say that us getting divorce is a good thing.

*took monkeyboy to camp which he loves

*sat on the grass with Pip the massive pig that roams the farm and talked to him while he wagged his tail and snorted at me for me to rub the top of his head more  :laugh:

*cleaned my kitchen and family room

*curled up in bed with my kitty and read for an hour before falling asleep for a nap

Cool!


About a month ago I set up a stereo receiver, mounted two small bookshelf speakers on the wall, hid the wiring, installed a five disc changer in my son's bedroom. He helped a lot (I made him hook it all up, but I drilled the holes in the wall for him)

A couple of days ago, he asked if I thought he needed a subwoofer.
 :lol:


He responds differently at times to my house shaking, "TRULY"  sub-audible reproduction system and he knows that he can use it any time he needs to feel the house shake.
My answer:


"Uhh, no, Son, you do not need a subwoofer. If I was trying to get the most out of a limited budget like yours, I would just buy more CDs for now."

CBC, understand that it is not ending with this one post, nor the dozens of previous posts where I have cried like a big ole puss about this.



One of my biggest worries these days, is that my nine year old daughter seeks out certain pain at times.  She can not fool me. I know what she is doing.

She may have the same thing going on with her tactile sense as her father has.  Maybe I can help her, but she has to admit it to me (and to herself) first. She has not found the courage.

It worries me ...

Yes, of course.

This why my assessment of her level of courage seems so harsh. She denies that she is even doing this, still. 

I think that she just simply does not understand it. I was an adult when I began to even conceive that there was "some possibility that I could possibly" be losing my sensation and it was a long time after this epiphany that I began to recognize the patterns. Even then, I still did not understand what was going on, I just knew that every so often I needed to be left the fuck alone for a few days.



This created a stressful situation for me and anyone wise enough to overlook my other quirks and try to befriend me.

I had a dip in the pool as the sun rose. It was a little cool at first, but after a bit, it became so refreshing that I did not want to get out and do stuff.

I am still working on organizing my garage. It is my only workspace where I can create projects. My inability to keep a clean workspace hs to be reversed after each project or else I spend all my time looking for shit.


Back to it again, soon.

I don't have the sensory issues, but what I do feel at times, in the presence of other people, is a kind of mortification at my own existence. Does that make any sense? It's not just the kind of self-consciousness rooted in fear of being laughed at. It's a weird kind of embarrassment that conventional therapists would probably attribute to "low self-esteem," but I don't think that's what it's about. It isn't so much wanting to be better, it's wanting to be invisible.

I do understand that, but it comes out in me more as wanting to be a "fly on the wall;"  invisible but aware, because I do not want to miss anything.
 :asthing:

I think that would fall under the definition of self centeredness, but well short of clinical narcissism, considering that if you begin to make me the center of anything, I become a "pillar of salt" and I become completely stoic and even unresponsive. At work, new people in management still try to "inspire me"  by giving me awards. I hate them. I hate the awards thing in general. I do not respond predictably to being given an award.

At work, new people in management still try to "inspire me"  by giving me awards. I hate them. I hate the awards thing in general. I do not respond predictably to being given an award.


Invisible but aware, yes. I always want my brain to keep working and processing things. It just is an unpleasant feeling to become self-aware at times and to realize with renewed clarity that I exist in physical form and people can see me and judge me. Yeah, part of what I feel probably is fear of other people's opinions, but I don't think that's all of it.

I also hate being expected to react in certain ways to certain things. It's hard to conjure up the response people want. I hate feeling "put on the spot" in that way.

Threw out lots of old junk at the summer place. Most of it was way beyond saving and some I fought for. Followed up Then followed up by taking a swim in the ocean and bbq'ing beef for the family and my daughter's friend who is sleeping over.

You are a much braver person than I.  When I cannot put my feet down on the bottom surface (pool or sand) I feel almost panicky. 

The funny thing is that I am so fat that I cannot sink.  Literally.  I've tried blowing all the air out my lungs to sit at the bottom of the pool and I can't get down.  I've had people drag me down to the bottom of the pool (with my permission), let me go and I'm a rocket straight to the surface without moving a muscle.  I can float "standing up", in  a sitting position knees straight or bent.  I've said that if I'm ever found drowned then it has to be murder because of my bouyancy.

No superpower, just superpowerful fat.

I remember some man I knew remarking that Wonder Woman (Lynda Carter) had natural boyancy.  I responded, "Don't you mean natrual girlyancy?"

Not to set the guys off, but I am well endowed.  But if I ever lose weight, I will be bowling with my boobs because they'll hang so low and I'm so short.

Tried a thinner elastic to fix a shirt of my daughter. Will be a temporary solution, but, will work I guess.
Cord elastic will have to be on my shopping list I guess. Can't find it any where. And the stuff I have somewhere is white, black would be better. So getting some is a good idea.

Did not do much else today, the day is very young still.

All that aside ...




I came to say how cool our health care insurance is.

I wrote a check for the doctor's attention for eight hundred ninety dollars (we managed to get four-in-a-row appointments for the whole family to have all our eyes examined) to the eye doctor for all of us to have eye exams and another check to the lab for one thousand seven hundred and seventy dollars for six pairs of brand new glasses (my wife and I will have prescription sunshades, as well).

I insisted that this was NOT right!! I knew that there was going to be some kind of support from my wife's insurance company, regarding eyes - she is  "Union"  and truckers are fucking required to SEE, FFS!!
I was standing (well, trying to keep myself from actually jumping up and down, to be honest, while my wife and five other women all told me that I was just being stupid.  I am NOT stupid!!  I do know things.)


After a half hour conversation on the phone with our insurance company today, they are paying all but one hundred forty dollars of our bill and services (mainly because, I chose top-o'-the-line service and lenses and frames, etc for all of us.).

On another note, I had the most extensive and invasive eye examination I have ever "suffered,"  yesterday.  I have never in my life had such an extensive eye test!!

As it comes out, I actually have uneven eyesight. My left eye is twenty - five (as opposed to what they consider as perfect eyesight, which is twenty-twenty) and my right eye is twenty-ten. In other words I can see better than most people with "clinically perfect"  eyesight, but I suffer with an astigmatism which means that in order for me to actually see as well as I "could,"  I must wear corrective lenses to correct the astigmatism.

The big HOORAHH!  is that we only have to pay for our upgraded services and hardware - all the rest was covered.  I just wish I had been able to convince the pow-wow of "intelligent"  women that this was so, so that I would NOT have had to go to the bank and transfer two thousand dollars from one of my accounts into the one we wrote the check on.  Fucking LAZY office bitches!!

I publicly apologize to you personally,  with not an ounce of reserve.



As much as I feel anger toward a liar, I feel similar to "one who bears false witness."

Don't know yet.  We're going to leave in a few minutes for the appt.  Gave him 2 Benedryls about 10 o'clock and some of the minor swelling went down.  So it may be just to continue the Benedryl and watch him.

Drove south through Sweden, through Denmark snd into Germany and Hamburg. :zoinks:

What a trip!

And we still have a long way to go. :headbang2:

I suppose I have missed this, but where are you going?  

I wish I was a fly on the windshield, no wait a minute, not on the windshield, please. It's supposed to be the wall, but cars do not really have walls, do they?  How about in your lunch? No, never mind. It's just a bad idea to be a fly.

Oh my God, that is priceless. I'd plus you but 1639 is too cool a number to mess with.

Bless you.

I laughed my ass off, thank you  :-*

I suppose a fly is better than a maggot?   :-\

Anyway, if you really could transform, wouldn't you rather morph into your young hot self and sample the local lady folk and be Odeon's cool hot friend? He could be your Wing Man.

(See, if you are going to wish for something, go hard!....oops, I mean go hard as in give it your biggest and best shot....oh dear...that even sounds dirty now too....

hang on, my Mother used to say flies were dirty, so you started it with the fly comment)

900 kilometres is more than I care to drive but if we had Paris @ that distance I would do it if flying wasn't an option, after all I have drven farther to get to Tooele Utah.

The total distance from Göteborg to Paris is more than 1500 km. Plus a 45 minute ferry trip from Denmark to Germany. It's all worth it, though.

Sorry that your feet hurt.  However with a Paris vacation for the family I guess the wallet's got to weigh less so that might help your feet.  LOL.

Today at work the safety guy informed us that some moron had left a noose hanging in an area of the refinery away from where I am working. He made clear that anyone doing that will be blacklisted from the refinery and fired by Newtron. Back in 1999 I was working with a black apprentice and a couple of the guys started saying "There's goin a be a hangin" as a joke. I could tell it pissed off Kevin but he and I decided to let it die out. Late in the second day someone left a condulet fitting hanging above the gang box where we put our tools. I asked Kevin to let me handle it so he wouldn't get in trouble for kicking someones ass. I cut down the condulet in front of a couple of people and mentioned was a fucked up excuse of a joke it was. I got each of the two most likely suspects aside and told them I didn't consider the condulet or Hangin jokes to be funny and would they mind not fucking with my apprentice. The shit stopped but I don't appreciate shit stirring at work. Back in April the Homies, Peckerwoods and Vatos started putting their racial shit in the blue rooms and, after some complaints, the safety people told everyone that getting caught would entail being fired and blacklisted by the refinery and now some dumbfuck wants to start it again. If any of my locals members get caught they will likely have to face the E Board and, if found guilty, be fined a weeks pay (40 hours), not paying the fine would eventually put them in not good standing a wreck their career. Whoever the dumbfuck is I hope he is not one of ours.

It weighs a lot less. Their prices are the closest I've come to astronomy since the uni.

We saw the Louvre today. Mona Lisa was fab but that room was extremely crowded, full of small Japanese people with expensive Nikons. Got a few pics anyway. We also saw Milo's Venus and an exhibition of Egyptian stuff ranging from toilette products to sarcophagi.

Now resting before walking to the Notre Dame.

I walked the 387 steps up the north tower of Notre Dame with my son so I guess I took care of another few pounds.

And today was the day for Disneyland Paris. Expensive, very expensive, but worth it. I love Disney studios but was less thrilled by Disneyland Park. I did find an Indiana Jones hat, though. ;D

Saved another dog today (a different dog from the last one).  I was looking out of a window in my house and saw it crossing a busy road on it's own about 100 metres further up the street, just past the crest of a hill where cars wouldn't see it until they were about to hit it.  I ran out and caught up with it, and it ran back across the road, was just missed by a car that was coming over the hill and jumped over a wall into it's front garden when it saw me.  I had a word with the owner about securing her garden so that it doesn't get out, but she seemed to regard it as an impossible task and thought that shouting at the dog would be an easier solution.  It's a nice dog, but I've seen it escape several times before, and it's going to get hit by a car one of these days.

I have sent in some overdue forms.
One with a additional phone-call, to apologise for being so late. They were really friendly and more helpful than they needed to be.  :thumbup:

Just let them be during the holidays. Forms and stuff like that is what stresses me out big time.
Holiday was a holiday indeed letting it just be.

Worked, and ended up in a downpour of rain.

After a while, I took my chances, and was a postie, walking through the puddles with a grin on her face.

Did not dare to jump in them, no need to make the mail extra wet.

Yes. There are two, though. One for the first two levels, one for the rest.

I used to dream of being an important person in an emergency! I think it's because I used to watch a Saturday morning cartoon version of Lassie, 
in which Lassie was part of a Rocky Mountain rescue team. They had a helicopter and there was exciting background music that I remember to this day!  :2thumbsup:

Went to an art-fair not far from here. It was said to be an international art-fair.

Bit disappointing in quality. Lots was similar to the stuff you find in bulk in warehouses a lot cheaper. But, there were a few people who exhibited stuff they had really enjoyed making, and that was a pleasure to look at too. Best was a gallery we found after we thought we had left the art-fair. Great ceramics, good paintings, and surprising other stuff.

The only international art we found was the Italian Ice Cream, and that was art indeed.

Maybe I should group them into categories, like religious, fiction, political etc. It's so cool looking through old books. Does anyone else like old books?

Made peace with a dog I meet when I do my rounds. He was OK with me, till I got my uniform. His behaviour became much more aggressive since then. Today his owner was outside, and the dog was as sweet as can be. He said that at the former place they lived, the dog only had reacted on a man from a ditch maintenance company, and at the postmen. He knew the man from the ditch maintenance company had threatened the dog with a rake or something like that. Guess one of the postmen has done something threatening too.
Wonder how the dog will react the next time I see him. Think he'll be OK, certainly after I will have said his name. He's an older dog, guess his sight is not what it used to be. So, I may still be just the uniform when he sees me first. But after that, smell and voice will help him I guess. No snapping jaws in front of my face any more I think.

When I was a kid, my neighbour raised pedigree rabbits. All rabbits that weren't 100% perfect in his eyes, would be raised to eat. The "happy few" were for exhibitions and breeding.

Talking about scrap metal reminds me of the time I was auditing a junior college in the 1990's.  They had a manual drill press they inherited from the Arny after WW1 and an early jet along with a couple of small airplanes.  When I asked why they still had them rather than scrapping them they said they still used them for teaching purposes.  It was also neat to do a property inventory of the embalming room, which they also taught.

Backed my doctors daughters car with Uhaul trailer on it out of her driveway after my appointment she said that she had no idea how and had been trying for hours the day before but figured I could get it :green:

Cashed in over $200 worth of scrap metals I had out back  lead, copper, aluminum and iron

Watch out for those scrap metals! On an episode of House  I saw the other day,
a keychain fashioned from found metal turned out to be radioactive!  :zombiefuck:

I am going to sleep well under the stars tonight. It will be quite chilly, low temperature should reach fifty. I have a good double set of sleeping bags that "zip together."  My wife and i should be able to keep quite warm.

Finished reinstalling above laptop. Everything but the sync works.  :smash:

Wasn't that the original problem?

*nods vigorously*

I think there is something very strange with the whole thing. I suspect an incompatibility introduced in the new Ubuntu Linux version that I used.

Aren't the Ubuntu one of the African tribes inhabiting one of my African colonies?  (Apologies if I offended anyone.)

Yes, that might well be the case, Your Majesty. It's a glorious empire.

It is impossible to say what I did today.

I know what I personally did, but I do not know what, what I did, did, yet.

I went haywire in the woods, hid some and I touched some wild animals who thought they were safe from my kind.

The way the guy made it seem it was a little fast paced for me I like to do things at my speed not so much what someone in an office tells me to work at they usually sacrifice doing thing right for profit then when it comes down to it they blame you when it's wrong because they rushed you.

Holidays are over. And lots of magazines for a car emergency help thing. Most people with a car are subscribed to it. And their glossy magazines are heavy.
Usually I get to deliver them over three days. Now the last two batches were in this lot. And there is a triple supermarket spamming today. (that is, triple spamming by me, there are other people spamming for other supermarkets too today.  :duh:)

How many supermarkets can one person bear to visit in a week?

I hate the supermarkets mailings that we get in the hall in my apartment building! They're so messy and cluttery, and for all we know, our imoprtant mail could be hidden between the pages! If I want a supermarket flyer, I will go there in person! But some people will drive all over the city for bargains.  :orly:

Drove to the summer place and back. Talked to my brother about Jaguars (he owns one). Took apart a lawnmower that was misbehaving.

That'll teach the damned thing!  :viking:

Turns out it didn't. Further actions have to be taken to ensure compliance.

My advice:  :litigious:

Sledgehammers can be so satisfactory.

Indeed. I think I'll try a less definitive method first, though.

I understand a few of the male members have some sheep they might lend you.

Oh your Highness, you made me roar with laughter.  :plus:

Came home and watched some TV. Talked to my kids and wife. Logged in at I2. Posted. Read. Posted some more.

Went to school with my oldest, to get the books she'll need coming year.
Spotted the other ASD in her class. Had a talk with the mother of the other one. Talking about the problems around getting support arranged.

Got home, chatted a bit, had lunch with the girls.

Did my rounds, came back tired and stiff and feeling old.

Had a chat, after falling asleep.

And in the evening, after a quick meal, went of with the youngest, to pick out new wallpaper for her room.

Watched House with the oldest, and checked the books we got on torn pages and such.

My younger sister has been "restoring" a 1920's 2 story upper-class house since 2003.  She still has no functioning kitchen, only 1 of the 2 central air conditioners work, no bathtub (only a sink and toilet), no washer or dryer, and only recently got the inside plumbing leak fixed from a brutal freeze in January.  When we were younger we spent 2 winters and 1 summer with out air or heat because we couldn't afford to get the units fixed.

Test drove a 2003 Jag 3.0 V6 Sport but there were too many problems with the car for me to buy it. Unexplainable wear on details, loose rearview mirrors, strange things happening with the rear stability control, weak AC...

Yesterday I found another candidate that I'm going to check next.

I am taking my son tonight to appear as a band member, supporting his middle school at his first football game.  He has been playing for about six months and basically, he stinks, but he is not any worse than any of the other kids.

Tonight he is expected to stand on the field, during half-time and play a song in front of the crowd.
 :headbang2:

This will be his first public "performance."

Poor kid resembled a fart in a hurricane, in that massive crowd, but he managed to keep it together until it was all over.  Once we got home, he HAD to tell me about everything that had happened, even though (he knew?)  I had been there watching his every move, or else I could see he would have been climbing the drapes and clawing the walls inside the house.

He was a bit agitated, but he wants more.  I know this feeling he is having.

It was his choice and I am supporting it as long as his grades are high.

He wants to play an instrument that he can use to explore jazz and he chose the clarinet (I have a LOT of instruments on hand and he has goofed with all of them). The shortcut to learning to play was to be with other kids who play (again, his thoughts).


Thanks for the kind thoughts.  He was extremely overstimmed this evening when we arrived home and he had to tell me every detail, even though he knew I was there watching every detail.  :asthing:

I will do anything to support his musical needs, even park more than half a mile away from an event with four thousand people in attendance and trudge up to the front past all of them and then listen to him tell me all about how it affected him.  YEP!!  Even all that shit!

And I bet some of the attendees were memorable for their aromas, even in the open air.

Do you have any Benny Goodman or Pete Fountain recordings for your son to listen to?
Title: Re: What have you done today?
Post by: DirtDawg on September 03, 2010, 11:25:25 PM
Yeah. I have all the known Benny Goodman recordings and most of Pete Fountain's work, but Fountain is far more difficult collection to attain for the completist since semi high quality recordings of his live performances became possible during his career. My son also enjoys almost every saxophone player you have ever heard of  (remember the fingerings are almost the same between a tenor saxophone and a common clarinet AND the two instruments are voiced [edit: voicing is the wrong use of words - I meant to say that they have the same harmonic scale from being in the same key signature - in other words written music for one B flat instrument is the same as written music from another B flat instrument.  I awoke during the night with all the definitions of musical terms swimming through my head and I knew that I had mis-spoken. Please forgive me for being out of it a bit.] in the same key - but, one is soprano and the other is tenor).

I have actually burned around two thousand CDs for him, all his, from my collection.  He has them all arranged alphabetically by artist and release date.

It is so good that I bought a BBQ Chicken w/saffron rice, salad and flat bread meal to bring home for later. I also bought a small latte and macadamia nut cookie from a little coffee place a Chinese family runs there. They make outstanding cookies and coffee. That small latte (on top of the earlier coffees) has nearly got me to the Cornholio level of wired.  :2thumbsup:

Yeah? Well I have bouts where logic and reason unravels around me and I can't seem to manipulate my world. Sometimes for hours. Reality becomes intermeshed with imagination, and nightmares become "fact". Pretty fucking scary dude, considering I am normally so black and white and logical in my thinking.

I started the day off helping pull 3 conductor 350 kcmil cable into two motors. That is very heavy cable. Then I had to put 3" sealtite on a small radius to two other motors and that involved wrestling more heavy shit. Everything eventually went together but I am moderately sore. Fortunately I don't stay sore real often so it'll be gone in the morning.

Also trying to stay sane while visiting my father who is overwhelmingly needy. It's allowed; my sister died a month ago and she doted on him.

Also added a new comic for my syndicated series, made pad thai for dinner, watched tv for the first time in a month, answered all my students' questions, got on IM with my partner, tried out an inversion table, played feral cat games with my father's feral cat, finished reading my book, spilled a little angst of my own about my sister, and kept trying to be social by posting here.

Usual routine of taking care of kids. Pampered the youngest a bit. Sick at home today.

Then had to drag myself to do my job. Motivated like a slug who got told to go into the salt-mines.

But, I am still alive. And tomorrow at this time of the day, it will be WEEKEND!!!!!!

I owe you a  :plus:  for that neat turn of phrase.

Is it legal to give marijuana to horses?

I hope this doen't offend any animal lovers, but my friends ex-boyfriend owned a dog and he used to get it stoned quite a lot. It was a rottweilor. For some reason dope made it go really horny and it would go around humping everyones leg. Anytime anyone new went into his flat he would pull out his dope and show them what his dog would do. For some reason it made him so proud. :duh:

I'm not entirely sure, but I think salt can kill slugs, so be careful in the salt-mine.  Wear your safety suit.

Had a terrible hangover. Threw up loads. Went back to bed, got up and went a long long walk in the countryside. Hangovers away but feet are in agony.
Also our good computer broke down, the one we play games on yesterday. So I can't play any games. Took it to bits to see if I could fix it. Looks like the problem's the PSU. Going to have to wait untill Monday to buy a new PSU, so untill then I've got internet, but no games :(

Bought a power suply unit and fixed both computers. Am dead proud of myself becausse I'd never seen inside a computer until the other day. I know it was a small job and it seems pathetic to the people on here who know about computers, but I'm pleased with myself anyway. Also it saved us buying a new one. I know it would have been easy to get it fixed, but my cousin didn't want to bring it to the shop for repair because he didn't want the repair man to see that he'd used it for porn.

Have a drink of water before you go to bed - to lessen the effects of the dehydration ,
 and tommorow keep sipping ginger ale or lemonade - for the nausea / vomiting

Got my MRI reults today and let's just say my back is fucked! Apparently I fractured one of my Thoracic Vertebrae without ever knowing it to the tune of a 30% reduction in spacing on that side of the vertebrae. Fortunately the fracture didn't push vertebrae back into the spinal cord. I wonder if my chronic back pain for as long as I can remember hid this fact from me whenever it did occur. Now I want to know when and how. Playing hockey is the only thing I can think of. None of the 28 times I've been hit while driving were of significant impact to do this. A real head scratcher... :-\

Not today, but yesterday, I attended a meeting of a local hunting club.

My purpose was to determine if they were taking care of the wildlife we have been seeing in our backyards.  My fears were set aside, because they are already feeding them.
I damn near ran into a huge deer, a couple of days ago - not sure if I mentioned it here - scrounging through the garbage pick-up bins.

(He was scrounging - I was riding my bike)

I got to see my X-ray. I'm such a geek!  :laugh:  While I was there, I also got a tetanus shot and was prescribed antibiotics. With an open wound (exposed nail bed)
so close to a fracture, there is a risk of bone infection, so I had to tell the dishwashing job that I will be out at least till Tuesday, when I will have an
appointment with an orthopedic specialist to see what needs to be done for the finger. What a day!  :orly:

Originally I was advised not to work at all, because of the risk of infecting my finger, but then it was suggested that I could do things that did not risk ruining my sterile dressing. As always, I wear gloves on both hands, changing them frequently; on the injured hand, I wear a glove with the pinkie section cut off to accomodate the splint, and I then cover the splint with plastic wrap. The open wound I refer to is now covered by the dressing and the splint, so it does not come into contact with the food.  :thumbup:

Read about the optical properties and mutagenic effects of ultraviolet radiation.  I want to increase the mutation rate of my shrimp and triops and thought of irradiating them with a UV source, and I was checking that UV would produce the right kinds of mutations and wouldn't simply kill or sterilise them, which kind of UV to use (UVA, UVB or UVC), a ballpark figure for what dose to start with and what materials to use for constructing an irradiation chamber.

Isolated some daphnia from my pond by filling some jars with pond water and then picking out the daphnia individually with a suction tube, adding them to a jar of clean water and repeating the process until I had a jar with just daphnia in it, and no snails, ostracods, copepods, hydra or other organisms that I don't want to introduce to my aquarium.

Called work, to make sure my mail would be covered in plastic when dropped at my door, because I had to head out in the morning, and there is rain on it's way.
Read a form I need to sign.
Checked email.
Got picked up to go to an interview for a training/job place.
Got home again.
Had some tea. Trying to let the morning sink in a bit.

We had to deal with a partial system crash during the scary parts of this morning's duties.

After doing hand writing over a corporate sign batch 1248 total that would not load into the network printer (representing the ad for Sunday that we were working on getting right -  FUCK!!!) ...

... the damn thing dropped two hours late but none of it was right.








Tonight, company wide, our corporate project staff will go into every mainland store and set up at least seven or even twelve of fourteen in some of the big stores - I will go in to for a few hours tonight, too, to make sure ours work - BUT, we are going to get all knew computers in the USA.

That means something like twelve thousand brand new computers logged in and set up in one night. (No fucking WAY!!)


I have doubts that this will actually work.

I have no clue as to how many hundreds of millions of dollars this night will cost the company, not yet to consider the many dollars and months of expensive labor to de-bug this system afterward, but it is a bit overdue, in actuality.  (My work station still booted into a WinXP network (hard-driveless) environment this morning)

Remember "Murphy's Law"  -  Anything that can go wrong, will.

I have mentioned  ad infinitum    on this very site that I consider Murphy to be an incessant, deluded, plane-thinking, moronic, infantile optimist  for not even having considered any part of what can NOT go wrong that surely will.

I feel certain that the Murphys of our little world have gone over this update with a fine-tooth comb, but they all kept their eyes focused upon what they think of as weak spots, without even coming to work with their shirts inside out or trying to drink their coffee upside down from the wrong side of the cup, much less imagining if such a wild animal as a combined network of thousands of feral computers, all left available to the public can actually be harnessed into a cohesive pulling team, regardless of the size of the whip.

Murphy is an optimist!

DirtDawg, don't laugh, but do you work for the Military or something like McDonalds?  They seem to be equally confused and screwed up and they're the largest corporations I could think of that would need so many computers and stuff going on line at once or whatever it was you did tonight.

ooh, lots and lots of tiny drumsticks.

I thought I might try making a business out of breeding and selling invertebrates as pets.  I'm going to raise various species of triops as well as other freshwater branchiopods like fairy shrimp, clam shrimp and daphnia, I've got a breeding colony of wild-type Neocaridina heteropoda (a freshwater dwarf shrimp), and I thought that woodlice and millipedes would make good pets too.  Both of them breed prolifically, are are very undemanding pets and can be safely kept together in colonies, and I find them interesting and quite attractive.

The woodlice and millipedes tend to hide a lot, so I've been looking at ways to construct habitats for them that would make them easier to observe.  I have an idea for constructing an ant-farm-type habitat out of sheets of clear acrylic that slot into a wooden frame, but with more space between the panes than in a typical ant farm to give larger invertebrates space to move around.  I don't have a router for cutting the slots that I'll need, and I've been looking at various models this morning and wondering what I should buy.

Collected millipedes.

Most intriguing! What do you do with them?  :nerd!:

They are a delicacy in Scotland and are deep fried  :zoinks:


ooh, lots and lots of tiny drumsticks.

I thought I might try making a business out of breeding and selling invertebrates as pets.  I'm going to raise various species of triops as well as other freshwater branchiopods like fairy shrimp, clam shrimp and daphnia, I've got a breeding colony of wild-type Neocaridina heteropoda (a freshwater dwarf shrimp), and I thought that woodlice and millipedes would make good pets too.  Both of them breed prolifically, are are very undemanding pets and can be safely kept together in colonies, and I find them interesting and quite attractive.

The woodlice and millipedes tend to hide a lot, so I've been looking at ways to construct habitats for them that would make them easier to observe.  I have an idea for constructing an ant-farm-type habitat out of sheets of clear acrylic that slot into a wooden frame, but with more space between the panes than in a typical ant farm to give larger invertebrates space to move around.  I don't have a router for cutting the slots that I'll need, and I've been looking at various models this morning and wondering what I should buy.

I am fascinated by this! I've heard of people keeping pet scorpions with the stingers removed, but pet insects are a new concept for me!  :orly:

http://www.exotic-pets.co.uk/millipedes-for-sale.html

That's an interesting site; I kind of want some Barbados neon millipedes now, but they're expensive and probably require a heated tank. 

I'm hoping to find a niche that isn't already filled by existing suppliers, and I think a good place to start would be with not-so-exotic species that will do fine without things like heat lamps and UV bulbs that would put off more casual buyers.  I know that when I've bought invertibrates, the ability of a species to survive the typical conditions in my house without any special life-support measures has been an important selling point for me, and the ability to survive being neglected for a week or two at a time is also a big plus.

The European species of triops, T.cancriformis (the one featured in my triops videos (http://www.youtube.com/user/Peter5930) on Youtube), does fine at room temperature and I've kept them in my pond during the summer, plus they're quite tolerant of dirty water and don't need much care, but other species of triops need higher temperatures, and can be killed by a cold summer night if kept outside in Scotland, or if kept on a windowsill or an unheated room during winter or spring, which is why I've mostly bred the European ones before now.  The woodlice and millipedes that I've gathered from under rocks and around the compost heap in my garden are likewise suited to the local climate, and would make good pets for kids or for people who don't want to spend a lot of money on equipment or go to a lot of bother to look after them.

I could promote my business by posting videos of my invertebrates and habitats on Youtube and directing people to my site through them, and I'd also like to try selective breeding.  I've bought a germicidal fluorescent tube that emits UV-C, and I'm going to experiment with irradiating organisms with it to see if I can produce any interesting mutations that could be propagated and stabilised to form mutant strains like albino millipedes or hyperactive woodlice that would give me something unique to sell.

Hang washing outside, get kid to school. Bring other kid to get tested. Went to taxes in the meantime, and ran some errands. Picked up youngest, had lunch with her on a bench at a canal, watching old buildings and ships while we did. Went home, and decided not to get youngest to school for the last hour. Chatted a bit, and am now posting.

You brought back a memory of my Dad.  Back in the 1960's he built 3 hi-fi's and cabinets.  One for us, one for his sister and another one just for my sister and me.  I can remember him soldering, adjusting, sawing, nailing, gluing, swearing.  

Those were the days when the TV went on the blink you'd look in the back for a burnt out tube, go down to the drug store and use the tube tester machine to see that it was burnt out and buy a replacement tube.  Go back home, insert the tube and picture time.

Cool memories.

I still prefer tube audio devices in my best sounding stereo rigs.  I have some amazingly complicated gear that I use for pro- audio (meaning gear for bands to use on stage), but the gear that I use for my personal enjoyment reaches to the extremes of minimalism in the design strategy. For instance, I use incredibly efficient drivers in an open back design (no enclosure - much like Edison was attempting to make popular in his day, but built from modern materials almost ten times as efficient as his drivers) along with very simple tube amplification.

The bandwidth, musicality, realism and dynamics are unmatched by any other approach that I have seen and believe me when I say, I have seen many philosophies of sound reproduction attempted.

They always smelled kind of electricky and of burnt dust.  A definite unique smell.  

My sister has the hi-fi that Dad made for the adults.  Our small hi-fi was always put on the porch on New Years Eve, the 1812 Overture put on and the volume cranked up to the max.  The record we had used actual cannons of the type used in the seige of Moscow, so the sound was not only authentic, but deafening.  Somewhere along the line the hi-fi vanished.

Tubes create ozone as does lightning.

If there is dust on your tube gear, then you are smelling something like what happens just before a lightning storm; enhanced amounts of ozone in your local space polarising the dust in the air around you. This makes some atoms attract to each other, allowing them to collect in quantities large enough to stimulate your olfactory senses.

It is a simple thing, actually.



I can assure you that there is no dust on any of my tube gear. Dust would also affect the sound, which would defeat the purpose of going minimalist.  Random amounts of dust everywhere, reacting with all the other magnetic fields in the area would become a greatly undefinable variable while listening to high resolution stereo.  I could not tolerate this.

Not much yet, some posting.

Yesterday, I slept in, did some washing, did a double shift of mail, mothered, made a really nice dinner, and pre-processed the figs I bought the day before. Saw they could not last long any more. They are all chopped up and stored in the fridge, with sugar and lemon juice. Going to make jam of it, later today.

Drained and cleaned out one of my ponds.  The fish in it were infested with ich, so I've put them in a tank in the greenhouse to be treated and the pond will have to remain fishless until the ich dies out, which could take a couple of months.

This is going to sound much worse than it is. 

I spent the day at the hospital with the Princess Royal.  She had uncontrollable seizures.  Her legs would shake, but she did not lose consciousness and was alert and responsive to me.  I took her to the emergency room.  They were unable to stop the seizures with 2 doses of Ativan and so they admitted her.  She's in the Coronary Critical Care Unit where she'll have a 24 hour EEG starting tomorrow morning.  She's in CCU because she's entirely off her epilepsy meds and they want to be able to respond ASAP if they need to.  I'll be spending tonight and tomorrow with her and Prince Albert will be with her tomorrow and until discharge on Wednesday. 

It's a good thing in a way because she hasn't had an EEG in over 10 years and I personally think epileptics should have them every 5 years just to keep on top of things.  Anyway, she's been fed (hamburger and cake) and I told her I'd be back by midnight.  There's a few things I need to do before I go back.  I'm confident that everything will be fine.

Better to have her in hospital monitored. And at least (even though it's awful for all of you) it's in a controlled environment without meds where they can really assess what's going on hopefully.

Yeah that one, that was during afternoon nap time so it was just me and Nick (13).

Wow, I was just checking the rating of the movie and worldwide it's all over the place. In the US its rated R but over here it's only rated M, which is similar to PG-13

I wonder if perhaps some of the scarier scenes from the US version have been cut from the Australian version?

My daughter's 14 and I think the American version of Aliens would give her nightmares, but different kids are different.  My nephew loved movies like that even when he was really young.

Wow, I was just checking the rating of the movie and worldwide it's all over the place. In the US its rated R but over here it's only rated M, which is similar to PG-13

I wonder if perhaps some of the scarier scenes from the US version have been cut from the Australian version?

My daughter's 14 and I think the American version of Aliens would give her nightmares, but different kids are different.  My nephew loved movies like that even when he was really young.

As far as I know, they are exactly the same. This is the Definitive Edition that contains extra scenes. The imdb pages shows the ratings from around the world http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090605/parentalguide#certification

Interesting to see how differently it's rated in diferent countries.  I guess Nick is more like my nephew than my daughter with the movies he enjoys.

He watched it with me, and by that I mean I wouldn't let him watch it alone. To be honest, I don't think he'd want to watch it alone.

What is going on in your chest CG? I have asthma and have gotten bronchitis, both of which suck.

I had a bad case of bacterial pneumonia that landed me in the hospital for 8 nights. I just got out a week ago. I've got asthma (which I've always said was a mild case) but now that I'm under the care of a Respirologist, I found out my asthma was severe. I thought the way I breathe and the amount that I breathe was normal. Apparently not. :laugh: He said I've got 2 more months of recovery. Seeing a specialist has made a huge difference though. He knows way more about what combos of inhalers and such will work the best. I'm so glad I ended up on his roster at the hospital. He's awesome.

Took the Princess Royal to a softball tournament held by her old school.  She got to see some friends.  The weather was nice and we had a pleasan time.  I'll take to see a movie with a friend and pick them up afterwards and then probably McDonalds later on.  I'll have some me time at Starbucks while they're at the movie.

Most challenging of today was braiding the hair of my youngest tiny French or Dutch braids, getting her ready for a competition.
Really early in the morning, when my fingers were barely awake.

For the rest, it was mostly like most Saturdays.
Ex coming over to see the kids.
Work, groceries, chatting, making and having dinner, Saturday movie evening for the girls. Things like that.

Oh, I did make a complaint about a colleague today. (Yup, the same one I had a problem with last Wednesday) I had let him get away with things for too long. Knowing he will not change no matter how much he will be criticised. (Yes, my village colleague and me have tried many times)  But, he went too far today. Not good for me, and worse for the company and the clients.

had a chest xray
met with the specialist
got to see my sinus and chest xray results (that was cool. I wanted a copy so I could bring it home and show monkeyboy :laugh: )
Made lunch
talked to my parents on the phone
now off to nap
What is going on in your chest CG? I have asthma and have gotten bronchitis, both of which suck.

I had a bad case of bacterial pneumonia that landed me in the hospital for 8 nights. I just got out a week ago. I've got asthma (which I've always said was a mild case) but now that I'm under the care of a Respirologist, I found out my asthma was severe. I thought the way I breathe and the amount that I breathe was normal. Apparently not. :laugh: He said I've got 2 more months of recovery. Seeing a specialist has made a huge difference though. He knows way more about what combos of inhalers and such will work the best. I'm so glad I ended up on his roster at the hospital. He's awesome.

Did they give you the copies of the X-rays?

No.  >:( Apparently it's all online. I asked him if he could email it to me but he said no. Never know unless you ask :laugh:

Sometimes, they will give you a CD with your images on it.  I got one after both of my MRIs.

Woke, had breakfast with my oldest and her friend who had stayed over for the night.

Did washing.

Saw friend leave, and got youngest back from a sleepover birthday party.

Made sure the two were comfortable together.

Had my daily chat.

Then work, double shift. Holidays can do that.

Grocery shopping, making a meal.

Got my washing indoors, it's supposed to go and rain later tonight.

Now it's time to tuck a little girl in.

Do her teeth not "meet" properly? Is that why she can't keep them worn down by chewing?  :nerd!:

Really! I find that interesting. I've never met a bunny who couldn't manage their tooth growth through hay. She must have a little misfit in her that causes her teeth to grow more quickly than normal? I love misfits. All of my pets have had some sort of interesting quirk or disability. ;)

She's a misfit, yes. It's a genetic problem, apparently. The vet said they are literally bred to bits.

Watched the latest episode of "The Event". Can't say I'm particularly impressed. Lots of things happen but it feels like a train racing through the night. If you don't know where you are and the rails are lit only by the locomotive's spotlights, you might be surprised and sometimes like what you glimpse, but you realise there is no way the bloody thing can actually change its direction.

I haven't heard the doorbell even once, and since I live on the second floor of a multi-tenant building,

I'm up to 62 kids so far! One little guy came to the door, not even 2 and he couldn't say "trick or treat." It came out as "teeka teeka" I wanted to smooch his wee nose! I usually get 150 by the end of the night but I'm going to have more than that I think. The house always has a lot of decorations. Usually I'm dressed up and sitting outside handing out the candy but not this year.

My kids are out of town, so I shut out all the lights and parked my car over the walkway to block trick-or-treaters. Lots of voices outside, but nobody has come to my door yet. Plus, the house was vandalized last night. Flag stolen from porch and other flag thrown in the street. Not happy! :grrr:

My Mum used to give out the candy while we walked the kids around and we were expecting to see here that day two years ago and didn't see here the previous weekend. She died on that Monday. :'( We waited until after trick-or-treating to tell the kids so as to not ruin the night for them.

My mom died a few days before Halloween eight years ago.  We got back home from her funeral in time to take our daughter Trick or Treating and we all dressed up in our mermaid and merman costumes that year so we wouldn't ruin Halloween for her.  It was freezing cold with the wind blowing and it was snowing.

Well this was yesterday, but I went and visited my sister and niece. I gave my niece a huge bucket of candy and played with her and the cats for a bit. She managed to get a huge ass splinter in her foot and started bawling, and she wouldn't let me pull it out for some reason. Children's logic lol. Finally convinced her to sit still long enough for my sister to pull it out, and she kept bawling, so I told her we could put a bigger splinter in her other foot so that foot would stop hurting. She stopped crying and got mad. Lol. I finally got her laughing cause one of the cats farted and I kept talking about cat farts.

Cute kid.

It's incredible how quickly it all adds up if you eat at uni! It's not cheap.

Ran errands today. Grocery store to get some ingredients for the next few days. Bank so I can pay my lawyer. Future shop to get yet another pair of earphones. Can't afford anything decent so I got a pair of $30 earbuds.

Saw Imogen Heap at the Royal Albert Hall 8)

How was it? (still jealous :green: )

washed the dishes, did a load of laundry, taught, had an appt with the lawyer, phone meeting with my Dad, rather enjoyable quick conversation with the ex.

Absolutely amazing. She's such an awesome person! Sotalented too. Plus I had a really great seat, in the grand tier right opposite the stage :laugh:

god, that rocks!!! One thing I'm excited about for when the ex moves out and getting back out to see shows. Especially at the hole in the wall places where it's a smaller totally devoted crowd. I want to see Colbie Caillat soon.

Saw the kids out, after them having breakfast with fresh bread. Got furious at a colleague, who really can count himself lucky that I did not encounter him. I would have punched his teeth out. Worked, worked, worked till nearly dark. Had ten minutes left to do my weekend shopping. Came home, quick chat, hot shower, zoning out. Made a quick meal, and now am finally winding down. Music, candles, pondering on opening a bottle of wine.

yeah I find it much easier to refer to things having to do with my kids and leave the ex out of it entirely. You're keeping your kids safe, that's a rave, not a bitch. Like me keeping the house. Some could see it as having so many memories of my ex. He was actually rarely here for most of our marriage, but the memories I have of it are awesome memories about my kids. But, to be on the safe side, I think I'll have a representative of every religion, big and small, including paganism and whathaveyou come and do their own version of a cleansing. One can't be too proactive. :lol:

Yes, PA has gout.  Some medicine to get him over his first attack, some pain meds if he needs them and just follow a gout diet, although 70 - 90% of uric acid comes from the body breaking down cells as a part of life.  Will get a blood test when and (if) another attack occurs.

 :plus:  for a good call! As a disease geek, I admire that! I hope Prince Albert
is feeling better soon, so he can take his rightful place in the throne beside yours. 

Well, if he insists on continuing putting holes in the towels to hang them on the hooks, he's going to be a footstool a la The Red Queen, "Warm Pig."

If he makes in big metal eyelets, bit less than a one inch diameter, he will be making you completely fashionable towels, that will hand on the hooks very well. 

True, but we will have to be careful of where we dry with what part of the towel.  We're not into :dominatrix: .   I'll just sew some heavy woven ribbon into a hanging loop and sew it on.  Prince Albert has some of those hand towels with the metal grommets.  He scrapes his face with them when he wipes the sweat in the summer.

He's not around much, which is good. He's a ladies man, with chicks, young hot chicks dripping off him....we've had a few visitors, put it that way.

Not my type. Despite him walking around the house shirtless, he does nothing for me.

Sleep in, do dishes, washing, mail, be an intermediate between one of my girls and her Dad, more mail, shopping, enduring a lady spewing her verbal diarrhoea at me, thank goodness, she kept her distance, one of those people who speak with a splatter.
Chatted.

Are you getting Zukov a new spouse? Or do they mate for life?

I think I'm gonna get her another one but should wait a while to make sure it wasn';t something contagious and she doesn't get ill.

Not sure where I will get one from though as they have them all in pairs in shops and stuff. maybe I could get two and they'd be happy as three. Will have to have a look online. I will ask calandale as well, he might know (he is a bird guy)

I only know flocks of zebra finches. More than ten in a cage. Don't know anyone with just two. Maybe you could put up an ad somewhere too. There must be more widowed finches in Manchester, looking for a mate.

maybe I should put her on okcupid :laugh:

I hope she's gonna be ok anywyay. I've read about them getting depressed on their own after their mate dies. Dont think there'smuch I can do though as I need to wait really to check she doesn't get ill.

That's a great innovation.  Do all apartments that burn up turn themselves over to the dump automatically or is it a county ordinance?

Gave more driving lessons to my friend, and my cousins girlfriend. My cousins girlfriend might be able to learn, but I don't think my friend has a chance of learning. She can't drive at more than 20mph, and even at that speed she has difficulty keeping off the footpath.
The sad thing is, she thinks she's getting better, and she wants more lessons.  :laugh:

Went to the Mannheim Steamroller concert with the Princess Royal.  She was uncertain about what a concert was, but seemed okay once we sat down.  She was beating her head in time to the music and enjoyed the music.

She actually went over the moon when she realized that the Food Network star, Kerry Vincent, was sitting behind us.  (Vincent is a renowned cake decorating judge).  We got her autograph.  On the way home the Princess Royal said that she'd never had a friend before who was a celebrity fruitcake judge.  That girl can misunderstand things like nobody's business.

Well, there is the oldest to be dealt with too....

Somehow this day was relaxed though. I had planned on visiting my parents, and they decided to come and visit me instead. Usually I rather pay a visit than get a visit. But, today it was all OK. Guess I was relaxed, and that made my day.

GAWD!!

I SO wanted to work on my several FUN projects.  My "money making work"  has interfered again with my FUN work for the  WHOLE  past month!


I HAVE PANELS GLUED UP, WAITING FOR ME TO MACHINE, but I am too exhausted when my daily work is done to actually be an "engineer,"  much.

I am in a "holding flight path,"   while I get time to do what I really want to do.





... but I was a Pinball, today, if you MUST know. I bounced from Hell to breakfast, ascension and back to Hell and back again. Rough fucking day!

I made a peeking line in the foil on my windows. So that the cats now have an extra line to use to spy the neighbourhood.

Looks kind of slick, improvement over how I had it. Both from the outside and from the inside.

Oh, also got kids to school, did housework, some chatting, getting really angry with the man who delivered mail today. He wasn't within reach, so I called in to our superior, and told him I needed to bitch, and he listened. Then said that he will reprimand the guy. That's 4 times in 6 weeks or so that I really make a complaint about him. Not that it will change anything, but, it did help to bitch. I had so had it.
Got the StNic present I wanted for the kids and me. Made a good dinner, had a good time with the girls. And loved seeing them interact with the cats.

I have frosted plastic film on my windows, with uncovered strips along the lower third of the glass so that Waggy can look out.  She has a basket on a platform I made that straddles the windowsill and part of my desk, with a ramp that runs up the back of my desk that lets her climb up to it, and she likes to watch for foxes at night.

Awesome. Waggy must be a happy dog.

I have frosted plastic film on my front window too. Not all over, but, a bit more than a third. Living quite close to the street, and former neighbours who would peek and spy every time they passed by made me make this house more reclusive than any other place I have lived in. Including the time I had a room with a window facing the gallery of a flat.

Neighbours have gone, and some more direct daylight and view is welcome. Still won't take all the film away though. I do like my privacy.
Got a hedge too, that helps keeping the lights from parking cars tone down a lot.

Went to the optician for my 2-year check-up.  It was good timing; I've been having trouble seeing things in the distance lately, and a few days ago I was in the car with my mum, trying to find an address, and she could read the street signs before I could.  I wasn't able to make them out until they were about 10 metres away.

I didn't need stronger lenses; I just needed the axis of the lenses adjusted by 5 degrees to match the way the shape of my eyes has changed, and the optician was delighted with how much of an improvement she was able to produce from such a small change.  I'll have better than 20/20 vision (or 6/6 vision, as they're calling it now) once I get the new lenses, at least until they get scratched and chipped and my eyes change again.

Yes, and I'm paying £13.50 for a scratch-resistant coating on the new ones.  I didn't have one on my current lenses.

Typical 3 y/o behaviour.  Yelled at the Princess Royal for standing there announcing two separate times that she had to throw up and not going to the bathroom until I yelled at her on the third announcement.  That time she went to the bathroom and did throw up.  Then she tells me she had a seizure which is why she had to throw up, but it wasn't the typical seizure throw up.  It's going to be a fun day.  I know, I know TMI and partly a one quick bitch post.

Unfortunately with the clearer lenses you'll see how much you've aged since your last pair of glasses.  :evillaugh:

At this point in middle age, I see more in the mirror if I take off my glasses and just stand closer.

*peers forlornly at the encroaching crepiness*   :emosad:

It seems as if I may have actually influenced others, beyond the typical strangers who come into the store and "trust"  that they can find the appropriate information they expect as it applies to their unique problem.

Today, I am almost positive that I actually influenced co-workers to do some of my work for  "US."

Apart from daily tribulations and chores, work, for as much as it could be called work today. Explain lots of people why I was outside working in my uniform. Took more time explaining how it could be that some in the black and orange uniform worked today and some didn't than the actual delivery of the hand full of mail I had today.

Made the days in December visual for me, in a schedule. Yes, I do need that promised day off come Saturday!!!! They'd better not deny me that.

Got my youngest through a combination of an unexpected anxiety attack combined with stubbornness. And it went well. Took lots of time, but she did conquer herself.

Went to Goodwill and bought a love seat to replace the one I'd had for 35 years.  It wasn't on it's last legs because the legs literally broke off last year.  The springs were shot and the cushions looked a prize fighter's ear. 

I was astounded when Prince Albert said that if I found another love seat to buy it (he didn't approve of Goodwill purchases when we married, but learned to accept clothes purchases.  I was afraid he'd ramble about bringing fleas, roaches, etc. into the house with furniture.)  Anyway, I found a LazyBoy love seat in great shape (had my eye on it at $59.99, thought about it at $49.99 and bought it at $39.99.  With my senior citizen discount it came to $34.00.  Yea Me!

Aah, some of the guys here would have livened op the party I guess.
Her best friend had to work during the day, and had to go elsewhere in the evening. And, because of all uncertainties, only her Dad and my parents came. There will be other visits later I think. Diluted birthday pleasure. Her Dad was a good host, they had a nice party. When I came home, we had some bread and soup, and then the guests left.

Both my girls managed to fall victim to the flu in the evening. But, were fit enough to enjoy another visit this morning. Diluted birthday pleasure for her indeed. Her friend just called if it was OK for her to drop by after dinner. She's part of the family here, she is welcome.

Did some washing and other housekeeping.

Already claimed a day off for her party next year. And, when it is granted more than four weeks before, they cannot cancel it. So, next year should be better.

December isn't the best month to celebrate a birthday btw. People are so packed with parties and celebrations. Party overload is happening massively.

Went to the tax office, will have to go again later. Dropped shoes to be fixed at the shoe shop, worked, worked, shovelled snow, shovelled snow, shovelled snow. Made a holly garland in the living room and hung Christmas decoration in it. Watched a movie with the girls, brought a friend of my girls back home after that.

In between, the usual things, like making sure there is food on the table, and such.

I used the shoveling of snow to wind down. I actually like it. Especially when there is mesmerising snow still falling. I could have waited and just have done it once. But, it did me lots of good. Needed it, because the travelling to another city for tax stuff, on a day that I have to work is not what goes well with me. The way work was the past few weeks left me flustered and stimmy. Should have been to that tax office earlier, but, everything had done in my head that much, that I could not manage. This was my last option this year I think, and it had to be before Januari 1th of 2011.

House is a mess at the moment. And, second half of December is no time to catch many breaths alas. But, I won't have to wake kids early in the morning, that is a good thing in these last two weeks of the year.

Now I'm curious! I have a slightly higher-than-normal platelet count, and so does my brother, but he donates blood easily. Do you remember the name of the
condition you have? Is it thrombocytosis? And do you take any precautions to reduce the risks from the clotting, or do you not need to?   :orly:

I don't mind answering. I am always curious about medical matters too.

It is called prothrombin gene mutation (yeah I am a mutant lol) and I have to be careful about sitting for too long on planes and car rides, etc. I am not allowed to go on the contraceptive pill either as that has an effect on blood clotting.

I always used to wonder why when people accidentally cut themselves they would bleed all over the place whereas I would only bleed a drop or two if I did the same thing. Now I know why!

Cleaned out some fly cultures that had gotten infested with wild-type Drosophila melanogaster.  I'm culturing Drosophila melanogaster (common fruit fly), Drosophila hydei (giant fruit fly) and Musca domestica (housefly), each with mutations which prevent flight, but wild flies sometimes get into the cultures and produce a swarm of flies in addition to walks.

She has an idea that if she accidentally made the mess, as opposed to deliberately making one, then she shouldn't have to clean it up.

I explained that when grown-ups make messes, even if it's by accident, they clean them up, so she needs to learn since she is growing up.

You're right about the three act tragedy, though.  She interspersed comments about the unfairness of having to clean up a mess she accidentally made with comments about my laziness for not cleaning it up for her and asking if she had the mess cleaned up enough yet.

I remember my 24/7 "morning sickness" days where I puked my guts out and couldn't keep anything down and I feel nothing but sympathy for her.  If it's bad enough, maybe the doctor could call in some Zofran tablets or Phenergan suppositories to the pharmacy?

I wouldn't want someone's Christmas to be spoiled.  The owner was glad to have it back and gave me a chocolate orange and a couple of bottles of beer when she came to collect it.  She also swore that the pint glass that had been lying near the phone wasn't hers.

Yes, it's mine.  It sprang a leak a couple of days ago and I'd drained most of the water from it to relieve the pressure and stop the leak, but it was only tonight that I had the time to remove the sand, critters and plants and look at it more closely.  It's quite a bad crack, running diagonally from one corner to the other, but I'll cut a couple of sheets of acrylic and bond them to both sides of the glass with silicone sealant, and it should be fine after that.  I've used acrylic sheet with silicone sealant before to fix a smaller crack in a different tank and to modify tanks, and it forms a very strong, watertight bond with glass.

Cooked a late Christmas dinner (turkey, stuffing, candied sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, gravy, cole slaw, & cranberry sauce...baked a ton of cookies on Fri. so we had some of those for dessert) & did laundry, then got invaded by relatives.   

Need :wine: & sleep now.  :zombiefuck:

I do put out bags of paper and cardboard for recycling, but it has to be done in open paper bags,
and shredding reduces paper to confetti, so it would simply litter the street. I recycle folded paper all the time!  :thumbup:

Shredding the paper cuts through the fibers of the paper, so that makes it unsuitable to be recycled as higher quality paper.  A lot of recycling places won't take it because it messes up their sorting machinery and then just gets thrown out anyway.

I restored my computer to its default setting using a disk image I saved when I first set it up.

This is my "bought/throw away"  computer, not my "good one."  This is the one I use for the internet and shit.


In the past couple of days, Adobe has killed it due to my setting up a commercial version of Photoshop.

(serves me right for trying to be legal and shit!)

Now that everything is set back to the "beginning,"  I am having trouble ridding myself of "trial software,"   mostly Norton will not die!


I am going to have to do it the tedious way.

Had a rough night, with a restless nose-bleeding kid. Could not get her awake this morning to bring her to my parents for a sleepover. Work came in early today, and it wasn't that much, so, despite the condition of the roads, I finished early enough to visit my parents for dinner, and drop of the youngest for her sleepover. Had a very pleasant journey back with the oldest.

No one seems to have a grasp of the fact that Jupiter would have to gain about one hundred times its mass or more before it could even begin to sustain nuclear fusion.

Thanks for the links, DirtDawg.  There was one guy in the thread who tried to argue, lookingforher, but he was pretty much shouted down by the 'true believers':

Post subject: Re: The pyramids are the secret to time travel!Posted: Tue May 06, 2008 5:20 pm
 
Quote from: lookingforher
Quote from: The Antichrist
Quote from: The Antichrist
Look at the gas planet beginning with jupiter! Jupiter is 98% hydrogen. What if that hydrogen were to ignite?
Quote from: lookingforher
It would violate the laws of chemistry seeing as there is no oxygen for it to ignite with?

Oh boy...

Does this guy count as a "Special visitor"?

Personally I prefered Zerocool2012. At least his ideas were plausible, even if unverifiable.

Unless it was a Huge comet that ignited it! Comets contain h2o and h20 has oxygen! And what about the moon of saturn it's composed of ice which is h2o! What if it were to get sucked into jupiters gravity and ignite it? Nothing is impossible!

OK. So we are going to ignite hydrogen, with water. Yeah. I knew better than that as an 8 year old boy...

I have a feeling the rest of your ideas are as correct as that one. I have a feeling it's the same thinking process that led you to say "you can burn hydrogen using water"... that led you to write all the other stuff. And a broken thinking process can only produce incorrect results.

If it's a Bissell double check the jets in front by running a pin through them while you have it apart, they clog easily also.

Partially disassembled my steam cleaner to find out why it wasn't spraying anymore; found a broken pump belt I'll have to try to find a replacement for tomorrow.

That would do it.

If you can't find it: http://www.totalvac.com/

If it's a Bissell double check the jets in front by running a pin through them while you have it apart, they clog easily also.

I have a binful of used proheat parts and the Bissell service manuals in .pdf format.  :laugh:



 

Thanks for the information.  It's a Bissell.  I bought two new belts and I should go put them on now.  The guy at the vacuum repair shop where I bought the belts told me to hope that the pump primes itself easily once I have replaced the belts because apparently, "Bissells can be temperamental."  He had no advice on what to do if it didn't, though.

On threading machines that have run dry we run them in reverse to reprime the oil pump.

Post by: Icequeen on December 30, 2010, 04:25:56 PM
To prime: switch power switch OFF (O). Hold Trigger on handle in for 1 minute.
Turn machine back ON (l). Wait 1 minute, then press Spray Trigger.

Never had a problem with that though.

Wow, thanks so much.

I didn't have any trouble priming it, but I forgot to tighten the cover over the thing that twirls to show you that it's spraying, so water ran out from there for a few seconds.  It seems to work great now.

Indeed, I remember more than I realized! Well, in my school system, they started us in French classes in sixth grade, and in
high school we had a wonderful, enthusiastic teacher who made it fun. She would tell little anecdotes in French and we
would try to keep up, and one day I realized I was picturing the things she spoke about without translating into English.  :)

They really are. That was just a brief moment, almost 30 years ago, when I understood her without having to think in English,
yet I've remembered it all these years and it makes me think I might be able to learn another language even now.
She also wrote, on one of my tests that included fairly long written answers, "You have a real 'French sense'!"   :2thumbsup:

Cleaned some fruit-fly jars, collected ivy, moss and rockery plants from the garden and planted them in my vivariums with the fire salamanders, cut some strips of chicken breast and hand-fed them to the larger axolotl larvae, examined a failed waxworm culture and determined that it had been too moist, then found a survivor and decided to gently dry it out with my dehumidifier in case there are enough survivors to produce a breeding pair of moths, ordered some more live food cultures and cut a sheet of acrylic to the right dimensions for repairing my broken aquarium.

Partway through the day, I discovered that another one of our teens has died. His funeral is on Tuesday.

I felt bad that I did not know his name. I was told that "Nick"  died in a car accident last Thursday (on my day off from work). One of the girls had a pic of him on her phone, however, so now I know who it was that died. He was a very cool nineteen year old computer geek guy!

I do not know who else is keeping score, but that makes two young employees who have died since Thanksgiving and seven other workers have lost family members this month.

Is our store placed upon an Indian burial ground or something? WTF!!

I got sad.

Partway through the day, I discovered that another one of our teens has died. His funeral is on Tuesday.

I felt bad that I did not know his name. I was told that "Nick"  died in a car accident last Thursday (on my day off from work). One of the girls had a pic of him on her phone, however, so now I know who it was that died. He was a very cool nineteen year old computer geek guy!

I do not know who else is keeping score, but that makes two young employees who have died since Thanksgiving and seven other workers have lost family members this month.

Is our store placed upon an Indian burial ground or something? WTF!!


I was close to tears, TBH.

Thanks guys.

I have no trouble dealing with my own pain, BTDT, etc. but the hard part for me is dealing with other peoples' pain.

I can not even conceive of their pain, much less present some way to help them through it. I just go cold, hard and stone-like while I watch all of them wretch in grief.

I do not know what to do.

It is not that I feel stronger than average, but this shit gets old and I have seen too much to stay soft and most of my tender parts are scabbed over.

I try to think of some concete thing that I can do for them that will help, do that thing for them and hope that they understand the care and desire to comfort that goes along with it.  In the South, people used to bring food, so here when a friend lost her mother, I brought some muffins for the family for breakfast and attended the funeral, but then I figured out that the customs are a bit different here.

Went to Harvey Norman (Hardly Normal :P) and looked at TV's and bedroom suites. Saw a cheap TV by a brand I never heard of (Chang-somethingorother) and a bedroom suite which I'm not sure about due to it's price ($2.5K!!). I can't buy anything yet as I don't have my own place to put them in...yet :). Went to the shops and bought tank tops and booked a service for my car.

Didn't do much today. Felt like total crap in the morning. Was tempted to call in sick, but, I knew that I would feel better somewhere in the afternoon, and that getting out of the door would do me no harm.

So, got kids moving, and fed and clothed to school,  showered, to get warm at last, zoned out, did mail, made meal, got kids in bed, am here. Will be in bed soon.

Fed a big worm (Lumbricus terrestris) to one of my juvenile fire salamanders, filmed it wrestling with the worm and then helped it get back to it's burrow when it couldn't figure out how to get down from a ledge in it's vivarium.  I probably won't see it for a couple of days now, while it digests the worm.

The only time the backups were ever needed was when Dunc was webmonkey and an admin IP banned him. He restored the site to an earlier state and the admin in question lost her powers.

Large earthworms certainly make my salamanders work for their meal.  My largest axolotl turned bright red around the face and gills while battling a worm that was too big for it a couple of days ago and eventually gave up out of exhaustion.  I'm sure the exercise was very healthy and character-building for both of them, but I had to fish the worm out of the tank and cut it down to size so that the axolotl could get a meal.

Time to ask for instructions Soph. One day you will have to do your own laundry. Starting supervised isn't such a bad thing.
Apart from throwing in too much cleaning detergent, there is not much that can go wrong with the machine, and when you don't program the temperature too high, your clothes will survive too.

Overslept 45 minutes, but, had kids in school in time.
Making phonecalls because, oldest lost her bus-pass. Services for lost items are no good.  :-\
Washing, getting trash outside, bin was full  :thumbup:
chat, work, change, and hop on the bus to pick up the oldest.
While I was there, we decided to get her some clothes. So, one single hour of  very successful shopping. Even my youngest has a new outfit, and I have some nice little things for her birthday too. We were  :viking:
Now having a short break. About to think up and make a dinner.

Got up, fed the cats and put the bird outside. had a shower and breakfast. After parents got home I went grocery shopping with my mum.

A lady that went ahead of us at the checkout was buying heaps of margarine and toothpaste. Nothing else. I thought it was an odd combination.

Woke up.  Went back to sleep.  Woke up, slithered out of bed, weighed up the pros and cons of staying up and taking my meds versus going back to sleep and giving my brain more recovery time and decided to stay up and take my meds.  Browsed online until the meds kicked in and the 'want-to-sleep-for-a-week' feeling faded into the background.  Now I'm going to have a shower and start catching up on various things I have to do.

I used to drink tea, but it made me sweat and pee a lot so I quit and replaced it with caffeine powder.  Sometimes caffeine helps me and sometimes it just gives me nasty side-effects, so I keep my caffeine intake fairly low these days, and sometimes I take a break from it altogether for days, weeks or months.

Unfortunately, I likely set my sons day up on a bad note.


He is a huge "almost"  twelve year old, birthday coming up soon (dead serious, he is as tall as my eyes, which means five foot nine inches tall, weighs one hundred ten pounds and looks skinny).


... but his mind is that of a six year old. I asked that he decide if he is going to be an obnoxious teen (which I can begin to deal with) or a disgusting six or seven year old (which is where we already are). 

I asked him to make a choice and come home with a single theme to his behavior. 


I look back on this demand and I am the cunt-ass stupid father who barely listens to what needs his child has of him.  I see this as too much for him to accomplish. I see myself as a kind of deadbeat dad, who makes demands without offering the required support.

As soon as I see him, I am going to revise this horrible set of demands placed upon him.  He can be both and neither,, as he sees fit.

Had a massive power struggle with my youngest. Leaving me exhausted, and her upset with herself and exhausted.

All good now. But we have to find a better way to help her control her fury. Puberty is hitting early, she's almost ten, but all the signs are there.

She's magnificent when that mad though. But, I won't tell her that. And could only appreciate it myself in hindsight this time.

What tinkering? This is the first time I had to leave it at the repair shop.

But unfortunately it needs another round there. Lucky the festival will start in a week's time--I'll drop it off there right before the festival starts. They'll have ten days to figure everything out. :D

I got back in contact with a guy who used to work there and has come back, today.

He has been through four months of state trooper self defense training. He feels like a bad ass and truly, he IS a bad ass!  We were kind of like "Buds"  before.
I am not your average dipstick (he knows it), after years of training in self defense upon my own. (Yes, I have only done studies of and practiced what I already know for about fifteen years - I am out of date - it has been quite a while since I had any instruction)  We had a short chance to spar. I put him down and had the advantage two times, but he got me down three times (then we were out of time), so, I have to bow my head to the superior warrior.

Despite what I know, he knows the same and can better execute.  he kicked my ass three times today. I love these pre-work times to get to know people at work.

This was an awesome day!!

Took the Princess Royal to her favorite spot for b'fast.  Went to Goodwill and bought a towel, 3 small loaf pans, a notebook and a Tshirt.  Went to Walmart and bought 6 gallons of water, a pack of 24 half litres of water, a shower curtain rod and shower curtain, a small room heater and 4 clothes hampers.  Came home and helped PA install the shower rod and put up the shower curtain.  Put some of the dirty clothes in the new hampers and washed one hamper full, hung one load to dry.  Went to the library to pick up 2 books on hold, stopped for poorboys.  Watched TV.  Posted.  I think tonight will be an early night because I ache.

Got kids in school, made a handful of needed phonecalls, went out hunting for birthday presents.
Got home, planning to sort more of the mess made last Thursday, during my lunch my oldest barged in home earlier than expected. Youngest brought a friend. I did not get to do what I wanted.
And not long ago, the youngest came out of bed, looking like crap, with a nasty headache. I have no time for a sick kid this week. But, what is that is. If she is sick tomorrow, I'll plan around that.

Showed my boss (who has the job of analyzing me - they are attempting to double-justify my recent raise and promotion) that I am a talented annalist, I have uncanny powers of observation, I have an incredible short term, nearly eidetic memory and that he can not fool me with his assessment games.



Anything he has recently learned about psychology, I learned years ago, adapted it into my default routine and I am better at his job of figuring shit out than he will ever be.



The main difference in his astounding, normal memory style is that he uses identifying/relating factors to re-create the memory (like having learned to empower ones memory through some cunty study course) while I can read from an "image"  that I can remember and further discern particulars from that memory which had escaped me when I first saw it, quite some time after the memory has been set aside.
Not really all that special in the realm of autistics, though.
Simply amazing to people like him, with his job of making sure I have a decent memory.

Had the dreaded visit from my parents. They are very bitter at me and my sister. Very unpleasant meeting. They have almost disowned my sis for letting me buy her a flat. It is above their high principles to accept help. Apparently its not against their principles to treat their kids like shit just because they make a decision they disagree with.
After theyd gone I asked sis if she wanted me to set her up in a business. She said yes, but she also wants to stay with me in Ireland. Im hoping she is only saying this because shes angry at our parents. I cant really say no, because Im largely responsible for her problems.
It will cause big problems all around if she does move across. I phoned my uncle and he doesnt  want his brother accusing him of stealing another one of his kids. Im not even sure I want to live with her. Shes great, but shes like a mini hurricane. Im going to try and talk her out of it, but she sounded pretty adamant.

I set my bosses on edge, because I demanded that they either grant me access to the "secret systems" from which I am restricted, or stop with all their expectations of me doing the job they defined for me.

The simple thing is, if I am expected to manage a certain set of happenstances, then I NEED  access to the way certain things work. They can not expect me to wait in the wings for a "performer"  to log in for me.  I am sick of this crap.

My immediate supe and my upper manager both witnessed my outspeak, BUT,  neither have the ability to allow me this access, but my upper boss called the BIG boss and he just asked why they do not trust me. He asked why I have not had access, already.  I chimed in with a reminder that he asked me do something a few months ago, that would require upper access and I failed him, He said then that he would look into this (well, he has lost his mom and gone into too many meetings to even conceive of, so I just asked if if he had not had time to make the necessary changes upon my employee certifications) and just said to my manager to get this done.

Before I left, my log in page included about nine system to which I had not ever gained access.


Now, I can do my job.

Went to the tax office. Have to pay back more than I hoped and less than I feared.

Had I remembered the warning about my company not taking in enough taxes, so that most of the people who work there have to pay back a substantial amount, I would have guessed right.

I won't lose a night sleep over it. Life is a lot better than it has been, when it comes to things like that.

Wasted an hour of my time travelling to and from a nurse appointment just so she could check my height and weight for my registration at the doctors. Why they didnt just ask that with the rest of the medical questions on the form I have no idea. Then I went to the supermarket and bought several boxes of tissues, cold and flu meds and sweets for my family who all have bad colds. Then I walked home, cooked tea, got my sisters to do their college work, sorted out more jobseekers shite, walked the dog, sorted out the family drama and finally I'm sitting down now with a nice minty hot chocolate to do some knitting.

This is what I remember my Grandma with. She made me this Afghan shortly after I helped her with genealogical research for the first book she wrote of our family history, about 22 years ago. She made it good, it is still in great shape.

Went to the cemetery to see my Nanna's new plaque and my mum put flowers there. Then went to the shops where my parents bought some plants and we all had a hot dog. Then came home and watched an episode of V. Now on the internet.
This is what I remember my Grandma with. She made me this Afghan shortly after I helped her with genealogical research for the first book she wrote of our family history, about 22 years ago. She made it good, it is still in great shape.

That looks really well made, your Grandma was clever. :)

Today I took GA to the doctors, paid a bill and bought a ream of paper so I can print my uni timetable. Also watched the first telemovie of Babylon 5.

That's a beautiful afghan, PPK.

My grandmother belonged to a quilting circle and made me a quilt.  She actually made one for each of her grandchildren gave me mine early because I was just about to have my wisdom teeth cut out.  Unfortunately, she later developed Alzheimer's and when she moved into the house in my uncle's back yard so he could help look after her, the quilts were not distributed to the other grandchildren.

Trying to train aspies how to do better with small talk and other social skills to keep them from being held back. One of the men there, who is about my age, is smart as a whip but can't do fuck all as far as succeeding with it. We broke off in pairs for a quick 10 minute discussion, I was talking with a 20 year old black kid who's nervousness and shy demeanor reminded me of myself my first year in the USN @ 18 years old. That is the first time I have talked to someone who appeared to be at a similar age/function level to me at a similar age, if that makes sense. I told him about similarities I perceived and mentioned that he would probably get better with practice. I mentioned the tandem jump and upcoming Paris trip, hopefully he will do okay. He seems like a nice young man.

Post by: renaeden on February 09, 2011, 08:13:16 AM
The meetings are run by two people who aren't autistic and there is usually a specific topic for each meeting. Last one was about choosing a job that best fits with what we like and what we are good at. As I am going to uni, it was kind of irrelevant but I didn't mind it all the same.

Other meetings have been about turn-taking in conversations, reading facial expressions and discussions about what we want non-autistics/support people to know about how it is to be autistic.

At the next meeting there will be Disability Services Commission people there to ask us questions about how the meetings have or have not helped us. Sort of like an audit of some kind. I won't have much to say as I haven't been to the meetings in ages because of uni. This semester I can go to the meetings because I don't have uni on Fridays when the meetings are held.

Read through unit 1 of my 'Object-oriented programming with Java' course and completed the first tutor-marked assessment.  Now I'm going to do the same with unit 1 of my other Java course, 'Putting Java to work'.  I'm going into hospital for 2-3 days for a sleep study on the 23rd of February and I'll be off my meds for a week beforehand, so I'm trying to get ahead with my coursework to compensate for the coming 10 days of being :yawn: (or at least, more  :yawn: than usual).

Salt was a good movie, IMO.

Slept almost half of the day, that's an improvement compared to the days before.
Cuddled kids and cats.
Even got a load of washing done.
And now I am feeling my appetite returning, also a craving for chocolate.  :asthing:
Almost back to being fit.

Played peekaboo with Jaws, one of my axolotls.  He comes to the front of his tank to look at me through the glass, and if I hide behind a piece of furniture, he gets excited and tries to regain his line of sight to me.  He's a vicious bastard who'll attack and eat anything smaller than himself, but he's remarkably tame and playful towards humans.

Yes, but it's easy for him to mistake my finger for a worm when it's sticking through the water surface at feeding time, and he let go once he realised that my finger wasn't edible.  He has about as much capacity for inflicting injury as a goldfish, and he doesn't attack me if I stick my whole hand in the tank.  He's fairly relaxed when I have my hand in there, and a couple of times, he's come over and positioned himself in my palm and let me curl my fingers around him.

Saw another one today. The trio were challenged by their German counterparts and only managed to win by claiming that May was driving an Aston martin in The Stig's helmet. I love Top Gear. It's great entertainment.


Clarkson is well funny!!  and captain slow...he is...so damn slow

but he's got the right idea re British cars. Listen to him explain how (and why) to drive a Rolls and you'll understand. His wisdom is applicable to Jags.




For Odeon  -  here is captain slow in a jag in Birmingham where i live. Clarkson is well disliked by brummies because he said of the city  ''its like a rugby players bath,  empty in the middle with a ring of scum round the outside"

Today i saw the funniest top gear..ever.  The 'mums' of clarkson, hammond and Captain slow have a race...have you seen it?   i was in stitches,  never saw any of these top gears first time around

No, not that one. Not yet, that is.

Yesterday I saw one with Captain Slow testing a supercar on the track for the first time. There was an economy race from somewhere in central Europe to Blackpool, too--they were supposed to get there on one tank. Clarkson drove a fabulously beautiful Jag without any intention to win or even get there, but amazingly, he did, just minutes after Hammond.

Not much really. I went to the pet shop with Lily and bought her a toy (a rubbery ball on a rope) and a couple kitten toys for Jess, then we went to the park and another dog (a young one that looked like a greyhound) called Milo stole her toy lol

We got it back evventually but he definitely seemed to like it

Lily is really respectful of other dogs' posessions. With humans though she will steal anything. When Tina came round for the first time about a year ago, Lily stole a packet of cigarettes from her bag and ran round the garden with them till we got them back :P

I think she is a No-Smoking dog

Also been round to see family and been for a walk. When I was walking down this alleyway I cut through on my way home there were these guys walking up in the opposite direction and at first I thought Shit, but then i recognmised one of them so it was ok lol, It's been a bit of a boring day though really

:LMAO:  yay

no reversing required

I'm still laughing at the parking videos you posted. Watching them makes me want to learn to drive to prove that I can do better!  :laugh:

i know they really tickled me too :asthing:   funny when the guy who was waiting to pass had to get out and park it for her

no i am not that bad!   as for learning to drive -  go for it?  the world is your ..oyster??   be  :viking:

I actually took driving lessons at age 18 but never got a license. Handling the car doesn't scare me,
it's the unpredictability of everyone else that scares me. I think I'd be a jumpy, scatter-brained spazz in traffic.   :aff:

i cant keep up with you on here you little postwhore -  methinks you would be same in a car  -  you would get there first :lol:

 :lol:   I'd have to watch my anger problems too! I'd probably have a lot of road rage!
GO WEEBLE GO
you would have to have a special car too,  one with go weeble stripes :hotrodder:

I'd be fine if I lived out in the country with little traffic! I'd have loads of fun zooming around by myself!   :2thumbsup:

I took driver's ed in high school.  The first day driving our teacher always took the students across the Mississippi River on the Huey P. Long Bridge.  From Wikipedia:

The widest clean span is 790 feet (240 m) long and sits 135 feet (41 m) above the water. There are three navigation channels below the bridge, the widest being 750 feet (230 m). The distinctive rail structure is 22,996 feet (7,009 m) long and extends as a rail viaduct well into the city. It has sometimes been described as the longest rail bridge in the US, but the nearby Norfolk Southern Lake Pontchartrain Bridge, at 5.8 miles (9.3 km), is considerably longer. The highway structure is 8,076 feet (2,462 m) long with extremely steep grades on both sides. Each roadway deck is a precarious 18 feet (5.5 m) wide, with two nine-foot lanes, but because of the railroad component, is unusually flat for a bridge of this height. Normally, bridges this high have a hump to accommodate the height but this bridge is flat to accommodate rail traffic.

He figured that if you could drive the HPL, you could overcome almost any fear in driving.  He was right.  Particularly because almost at the top, closer to the Westbank side, there is an unexpected jog of about 2 feet that will catch you unawares.  The speed limit is 40 mph.

There is Mr WashMore, Mt FoldMore, and even a Mt IronMore.

Just a hillock of stuff left for the washing machine now. I had had a laudrathon, and when the last of that was hanging to dry, my youngest had a massive nose-bleed, enough to fill the washing machine again.

But if you drive past 130 kmph (or is it 150? do you remember?) and end up in an accident involving slower-travelling vehicles, the fault will most likely be judged to be yours. It's a fab motorway but the traffic jams can sometimes drive you nuts.

Some parts of the Autobahn with sound walls around it, or intricate intersections can make that your car creates weird eerie whistling sounds, when at high speed. Areas where that can happen you'll see signs warning you "Achtung Fahrgeräusche". Very weird. But fun. Another dimension of speed.

Played in a concert, which was possibly the most... interesting concert in the entire 9 years that I've been in the orchestra. The flute section was a complete shambles, the entire orchestra lost their place and one point, and an audience member had a "funny turn" which looked very much like a heart attack to me.
The audience seemed to enjoy it, though (the concert, not the heart attack).

Did the person who had a heart attack get taken away in an ambulance?

On the Autobahn you can drive as fast as you want on more than half of the routes. No speed-limit is a thing of  :viking:-ery.

But if you drive past 130 kmph (or is it 150? do you remember?) and end up in an accident involving slower-travelling vehicles, the fault will most likely be judged to be yours. It's a fab motorway but the traffic jams can sometimes drive you nuts.

The recommended speed is 130 kmph, so it's probably also the speed that will make it likely to be "your fault" if anything happens. We once saw a frontal collision on the Autobahn (in 1990). At least the persons in one of the cars must have been killed instantly, though you couldn't see any people at all in that car from outside after the collision... :-\

That's cool; the comment was meant humorously.

According to the president of the orchestra, the person will be ok.

I didn't think our playing was that bad...

Went to check out a multicultural festival thingy that was meant to be happening. Walked 45 minutes to bus stop for exercise.
Found that it had been rained out.
Walked along the beachfront for about an hour, took photos.
Had seafood risotto for lunch.
As there was about 40 minutes until the next bus, walked for another 1/2 hour, took more photos.
Caught bus home.

Sometimes that's frustrating, but the little adventures you have along the way are fun.

I always find though, I overestimate my walk time, and only think to turn around when I am tired....which often means another hour or so walk back!  :facepalm2:

I knew what I was in for with the buses; around here they only run once every hour on Sunday.

Prince Albert spent most of the night coughing, the Princess Royal spent the rest of the night loudly complaining about being kept awake by his coughing.  I knew if I slept today I wouldn't sleep tonight.  PA should sleep tonight because the doctor (blessed be he) gave his some Vicodin for the pulled muscles (it was that bad) and the cough.

Slept in, after a nice chat-night.  :2thumbsup:

Had breakfast/lunch with the girls, warm Kaiser rolls, Yummy.

Did some washing, some chatting, girls had left to see friends.

Went to a friend, where my girls were. Enjoyed being outside.

Made a leek pie, that was enough to lure one of the friends to my house for dinner.

Listened to music, had silly fun, did dishes.

Got youngest to bed. Did PE homework with oldest.

Something like that.

Yes. I find it relaxing. I've done so many projects over the years but I never do anything with them  afterwards. Just neatly fold them and tuck it away because it's more about the therapy of doing it than the finished product. This one I will frame though.

The quality is quite OK at 'De Baron', yes. You know, local authorities of both BoZ and Roosendaal decided two years ago to close all their coffeeshops.. and now, when I wish to smoke some I have to visit other cities to do so.

Well, I don't mind really. Don't smoke so much myself and.. the occasional train journey in combo with let's say a visit to a restaurant, a pub or buying a book in said town centre.. is nice.

I think in my province only the city of Almere has coffeeshops. And that is way too far from the NoordOostpolder.

But, have not used weed for years now. So, it doesn't bother me. I still might go for a cup of coffee or tea to "Het Binnenhof" in Zwolle, just because the atmosphere is nice there. Weed now gets me on edge only. And that is not what I wanted it for at all.

Never was a big user. 5 Euro per month at the most.

Funny, how shop-owners always seem to come up with very creative shop-names, I'm thinking now.

A bit of an off and on smoker here.. periods I did, others I didn't.. but always 'tiny' joints.. for being murf isn't what I wish. Folks that smoke themselves silly all day long.. Well, everybody should suit themselves but I think moderation is bliss. Of matigheid (maar weinig begerig zijn) is goed in het leven.. en dat geldt zeker ook voor het gebruik van wiet.

Took monkeyboy to his first gymnastic class. Was so proud of him! He tried the rings, the uneven bars, the balance beam...he did it all! He was fully engaged and feeling very proud of himself when he was done. The hour gave me a chance to chat with two other Mum's that I know (and actually like) so it was a win-win.

I heard there was another boy with ADHD that was going to be there. I walked into the gym and spotted him immediately :laugh: Turns out he and monkeyboy were in the same group and instantly bonded which was nice.

I had surgery on my left eye this morning. Took about two hours. The surgeon moved a peripheral eye muscle about 5mm. and had a look at an inner muscle but decided against touching it today.

That sounds like a shitty day indeed.  What was wrong with the muscle?

I may eventually need surgery for a worsening case of strabismus.  I can hold it where I want it but it takes effort and eventually leads to headaches every evening.

I may eventually need surgery for a worsening case of strabismus.  I can hold it where I want it but it takes effort and eventually leads to headaches every evening.

Scarring tissue from repeated strabismus surgery when I was a kid and the normal ageing process caused the muscle to strain and pull at the eye whenever I tried to look to the right. Other muscles have some scarring, too, but other than removing some scarring tissue he din't do anything to the other muscles.

The enxt time around he'll move and try to repair one of the inner muscles--it's been thinned out and weakened to the point where he was afraid it might snap if he did the corrections now. :o

if you have a good surgeon you may want to do it while you are young.

Most surgeries are better done when you're young, since the healing process is much much quicker then.

I was told this side of 40.  Although this isn't surgery really, I had my first child at 23 and my second at 30. Recovered much more more quickly and my body bounced back with the first more easily than the second. :P (I'm 36 now) Most things medical hold more risks past the age of 40. The risk factor seems to increase from there.

May I suggest that anyone with sensitive eyes get full information before they have a corneal cell transplant? 

Arthur had one last year.  They place a small amount of corneal cells behind your cornea.  Then they put a bubble of sterile air in your eye to hold the transplant in place while it bonds, not too much grief.  However, it didn't bond well enough.  He had to go back for 3 additional bonding procedures.  For these procedures he had to be on his back while staring into a 100 watt bulb, while the doctor inserts a needle into the eye as many times as it takes to get the air bubble positioned correctly.  Then you're on your back for 60 minutes to see if everything went okay.  Except that PA can't stand bright lights, anything near his eyes and has a bad back and can't be on it for more than 15 minutes before it hurts him. 

Needless to say this was a period of great anxiety, stress and general mayhem in the household.

Perhaps going to a forum for people who have had such procedures could be helpful. My older brother also has keratoconus and his is worse than mine so he had a corneal transplant in one eye. Now he has one soft contact lens and glasses. A couple of years ago his eye was bothering him and he found out the stitches had come loose, the Dr was miffed with him for not coming in sooner.

Yes, I'm supposed to notice a difference, eventually. If the surgery went the way it should, that is. Right now there is too much swelling to tell. It hurts to move it so I'm avoiding it.

So far I've made breakfast, done laundry, got monkeyboy settled with a cuppa tea to start his day, then left him with his Dad to go to work with the cats. Got my kitty therapy and met a sweet, docile golden retriever who came in with her owner at the store and she works with kids with Autism  :thumbup: Wanted to bring her home with me. :heart: Made lunch, checked in on monkeyboy, happily sent the ex out and locked the door after his departure (don't why that makes me feel so happy...to know he has to fiddle with his keys and the lock to get back in if he forgets something) and now about to tidy up the kitchen in a few minutes. Not sure what the second half of the day will have in store.

Yup. That's considered one of the finest sandwiches here in Sweden.  :thumbup:

The potato pieces in Swedish potato salad are pretty small, less than a cubic centimeter.

Fold a big plastic garbage bag in and around the bottom of the litterbox before filling it. Bit of carton on the plastic to keep it safe from scratching. And when it is time to change, just get the bag from the sides, that are folded around the outside of the litterbox, lift the sides up, all will be already in a bin bag, only needs to be closed and thrown away.

May make it a bit less of an ordeal.

Mrs. Drake's sandwiches (now gone from this earth) used to make a luncheon meat and potato salad on white bread sandwich for sale at the convenience stores.  It was more than a bit decent and quite cheap.  At some of the poboy shops you can get a French Fry poboy - thick french fries on french bread with roast beef gravy, dressed (lettuce and tomato.)  It's saved many a hungry student and broke working man.

I think my urge for perfection plus the keen eye on detail has made me a fairly okay painter by now. Frustration whilst doing it remained a constant though.. and still two frames to go.

Also made a pasta dish.. with turkey and spinach (a little more ingredients).. which may look an odd combo.. but it was really nice. After dinner I got myself a bottle of wine, took a good look at the laptop I have my eye on in some store and at my sister's house spoke to bro in law a little about said laptop. (well, spoke to sis and their daughter also)

And tjah, I'm drinking a glass of wine at the moment.

Tidied up the kitchen. Ran errands. Visited the cats at a store run by another rescue agency. Went out for lunch. Took monkeyboy to trampoline class. Was the "friend to lean on" for a friend of mine who's violent drug addicted daughter is living in a flophouse with a bunch of crack addicts. Heartbreaking story with no fault belonging to the parents. Just came home and now hanging out with monkeyboy.

Got the youngest to school, wanted to get myself a cup of tea, but just sat there. Had I2 open. And had a phone call with my parents, for the rest, I just sat there, till I got cold, had a shower, and found the morning gone.....

Hectic day yesterday, and I kept it all together. Paid the price today I guess.

Got a bit more active in the afternoon, worked, did some housekeeping/mothering, but, still very, very slow.

Used to be my favorite.  I liked it all the way up until Carter left, maybe the season before.  One day I turned it on and there was a robot doctor and monkey and I bailed on the series at that point.

Phoned the doctor's surgery and got a same-day appointment.  Went to the doctor and was prescribed a proton-pump inhibitor and was told to make an appointment with the nurse to have a blood sample taken.  The nurse was fully booked for the whole of next week, but when I told the receptionist that it was to test for Helicobacter pylori, she decided it was important enough to squeeze me in that afternoon and I saw the nurse about 5 minutes later.

Yesterday I was at my friends house, having too much roséwine, and when I went home the bus never showed up so I had to walk home trough Rape Alley drunk, wearing amongst other things a short skirt and garterbelt = gagging for rape.

 Did you get home OK?  And is it usual for buses not to show up where you live?   ???

Had a 3 mile walk on the waterfront. The Napa river was very low, even by low tide standards. I don't like that, if the Napa river and San Pablo Bay get too low it may fuck things up for the Harbor seals.

You can buy as much as you want, but the state has a monopoly on everything alcoholic stronger than 2.8%. All beverages with a higher alcohol content that that must be purchased in a store like this:

I just have to go to Denmark to do that. And there they don't even care about an ID, I'd guess.

Or I could go to Germany, where 14 yo's are allowed to drink beer in bars.  :viking:

As a child we lived in Houston, Texas.  I remember accompanying my parents to the liquor store to buy alcoholic cheer.  When we would visit New Orleans I realized how silly the liquor store is because you can buy liquor and beer in the grocery and drugstore 24/7. 

I remember visiting Houston again in early 2000.  I went to a very nice, large international grocery store and couldn't buy some orange marmalade to bring home to my father-in-law.  It was a Sunday and the marmalade  had a wee bit of Scotch in it.  No liquor sales on Sunday.

The same law in Ontario. What is the legal drinking age there? It's 19 here.

It's 20 to buy in that store but 18 to drink in a bar or restaurant. If you drink at home there is no age limit.

Not per se. If you turn a minor into an alcoholic you might get prosecuted for it or lose custody, I guess, but not as long as it is done in a responsible way. Swedish laws are pretty rigid regarding most things but with funny loop-holes in them at the same time.

In some European countries, like Greece, there is no age limit for drinking at all, not in public places either.
Title: Re: What have you done today?

Drinking age is 18 here, but you can drink in restaurants or at home at 14 I think, if your parent gives you it/buys you it

something like that anyway

Here in the UK, children can be given alcohol in private at 5 years and can drink beer, wine or cider with a meal in licensed premises at ages 16 and 17 if it's bought by an adult.

Some states it varies by county. Some states have dry counties; some places only prohibit sale on Sunday. Here, beer and wine and such can be found in grocery and gas stations but hard liiquor in liquor stores, though some grocery stores also have their own separate liquor stores in the same building.

My state, pa,  really isnt a state, it is a commonwealth and we have very very serious drinking laws. Bars have to close at 2, nothing is sold on Sundays, and liquor can only be obtained in "state stores". You have to buy beer/liquor at bars, or stores specifically labeled as beer/state stores. there is nothing at convenience or grocery stores without special license that is so hard to obtain most places dont bother. I think it has something to do with the "blue laws". There are a lot of Amish and religious people here...

If your dad was an alcoholic, it makes perfect sense that he would be allowed 2 drinks a day, or even more, under doctor's orders.  Alcoholics who have become accustomed to a certain level of alcohol in their blood who suddenly stop drinking can actually die from DTs.

Less than I wanted, more than I planned.

Also spent the evening at the school of the youngest. History project of all classes. Was organised well.
In the end I found myself folding mice out of handkerchiefs in a Kindergarten class.

Escorted my dog around the garden while she stuck her nose down mouse burrows and annoyed the birds that nest in the bushes.  She likes to have me by her side when she's patrolling, and if I leave and go indoors, she comes looking for me after a minute or two, and tries to entice me back outside.

seriously. After someone has had a bout of whatever in the house, feels good to open up the windows and air it out. I've been feeling like crap the past week. The walk did me good. Fresh air and all that.

Had the letter, 2 weeks ago  -  the one that said it's fancy dress tomorrow at urchin's nursery!  Didn't see that bit.  My
bad for not reading it properly...smacked own head several times already.

Thankfully his key worker asked me this morning if i had sorted out his costume yet! Oh and the 'theme' of this event

- Prince's and Princesses -

So i was fone-frantic earlier ringing round trying to get a Prince's costume in his size!  Due to the 'Royal Wedding' can't
get hold of one, not even a crown.

Not to be beaten, got some material and am nearly finished the outfit and it just leaves me a crown to make!  Sounds easy?
Fucking sewing machine just broke,  i have got PVA glue all over my ironing board,  and also managed to sew a bit of it
to my fucking skirt.   AAAAAgggggghhhhh

Fucked up day today.  I am crap at sewing :zoinks:

I cut up the rinds from hams (or smoked sausage if that's cheaper) that the local deli sells cheap.  Add chopped up onion, celery, bell pepper and parsley, put in serving size bags and place in freezer.  Pull out and add to beans when they're cooking.  Takes less time and saves washing the knives and cutting board 3 or 4 times.

Is handling your OCD going well?

Today I went to autism group and we played Pictionary on whiteboards. I didn't have a go though, I can't draw very well. But I guessed a fair few drawings by others right.

My voice has sort of come back. Hope it is better tomorrow.

Yes, very well, all things considered. New things keep popping up but I'm getting better at knowing what the signs are and how to fight them.  I think CBT is awesome.

I'm no ready to get off the meds, though, and I don't know if I ever can.

Bought a second hand mountain bike today and rode on the thing for about an hour. Basically the ride back to home but I also
rode through the old village centre of Tholen (village I bought the bike) and I ate an herring (with onion) on a bun, a Dutch thing I reckon, in the harbour there.

Well, it's a good bike and I had the idea I wasn't in shape at all but must say it could've been worst. I'll try to post some photos of it later on.

Oh, done some other things and some shopping as well. Simple errands that is. Blahiah.

Very boring day at the polls.  We were open for 14 hours and only had 87 voters. 

  That answers the question I just asked you in another thread.   :idea:

Nothing much. Wrote some of my report. It is on ADHD and treatments for it. I had to come up with an experiment and then make up data so that the results of the experiment were significant statistically.

There is no way my experiment could happen in real life, it is just too far out. So my tutor will probably be amused when he reads my report.

 Yes, I'm intrigued as well, I want to know about this "far out" experiment!   :nerd!:

It is on adolescents with ADHD. Got 90 of them all just newly diagnosed with ADHD. 30 of them receive medication treatment, 30 others receive academic intervention and 30 more get both treatments. Then after six months of these treatments we look at their final scores for English class (I didn't do more subjects otherwise that would have made my experiment too hard for me to interpret and write the results for).

Results showed that those receiving both treatments got higher English class scores than those who received either treatment alone.

It isn't really in keeping with previous studies that show similar experiments don't really make a difference in scores and medication is superior to therapy (in my experiment academic intervention was superior to medication alone - don't know how that happened, it was just a result that came about from the raw data scores I put in).

 I'm in no way qualified to comment on data, but it does make sense to me that both treatments would work better than either alone.  :chin:

She was 25 minutes late showing up for the c-section.  25 minutes after the spinal had been given and her BP dropped to 60/30.  25 minutes after my son's vitals dropped to crap.  He was born purple with an APGAR of 1, had to be intubated and spent a day in the NICU.  I guess it is more honest to say that she almost killed my son, and the anesthesiologist was the one who almost killed my wife.

Sounds like monkeyboys start to the world. Except his complication was that he came at 33.5 weeks and was born not breathing. I didnt have a CS though. Went into early labour.

Finally had the time to do some really needed big shopping with the girls. Did some preliminary shopping yesterday, knowing it could not all be done in one day. Oldest loved to be on her own, youngest loved to come with me. Today we got almost everything on our list. Had both girls with me. They love shopping. Especially shoes and clothes...... I survived. :pirateship:

Looked back on what I spent today. MASSIVE. Kind of satisfying to know that I could do that without big worries. That has been very different for a long time.

Rode on further, visited a camping/trailer park to see if there was something I liked. Well, the park is doable money-wise but too trashy for me.
Too small a plots too.

Got some groceries on my way back, took a shower and a nap, made dinner and sprinkled the garden.

It's the otter thing, isn't it? Well, you quoted me in the Squid's sarcastically meant and funny thread,
stating he turned straight due to god and stuff.

Um, this all in good fun, he did.. but you added your not that sensible emotional respond there to my, not to take too serious, post, QV.

Well, I'm sorry you feel this way.. but please remember I don't aim for the heart.. and never will do so when folks don't aim for mine..
I just do not belief in god and think religion, in general, deluded folks for way too long now.

Rode on further, visited a camping/trailer park to see if there was something I liked. Well, the park is doable money-wise but too trashy for me.
Too small a plots too.

Got some groceries on my way back, took a shower and a nap, made dinner and sprinkled the garden.

Other things.

Sprinkled the garden?     :pee:

Explanation:  I posted the emoticon as a play on "sprinkle", as in peeing on the garden.  In the women's public bathrooms in the US you will often see a sign that says, "If you sprinkle when you tinkle, Please be neat and raise the seat."  It was the combination of these two words in the sign that generated the sprinkle on the garden connection.  

Apology:  I regret that my attempt at humour fell flat and that you felt any negative emotions about it.  Please accept my apology.

I will have to look up the otter/Squid post to prepare my apology for that, please be patient.

Found it:  I was remarking on the fact that the otter was identified as a squirrel or kangaroo.  My suggestion was to get outside and see nature so that animals can be identified properly.  (The otter is one of my favorite animals so I'm more than a little fond of them.)  I did not intend it to be a comment on religion or religious beliefs.  I was raised Catholic, am married to a Lutheran, raising a Lutheran daughter who went to a Catholic Special School for her high school years, consider myself to be Jewish and have an athiest sister.  I try very hard to stay away from religious discussions because they are so intensely personal.

Apology:  I'm sorry that I wasn't clear enough in my post.

Okay, I apologize too.. towards you, QV. Think we both know the weight of this is..  very little/not too heavy now.

Misconstruing. It sucks, I say.

Ja, I'm like a member of the Mustelidae family (lutra and erminea, yet human of course, earthly based, feet on solid ground but..) playful, intelligent but
with a bunch of very sharp teeth also..

Well, let's move on, please.. (I hope)

I must thank you for inspiring me to get some more useless (?) facts.  Because I didn't know what Mustelaide meant, I googled Lutra and found (voila)

Lutra is a genus of otters.

Lutra nippon - Japanese otter
Lutra sumatrana - Hairy-nosed otter
Lutra lutra - European otter

You must be an European otter, which sounds nicer than a Hairy-nosed otter.

I took the peeing emoticon as a joke, a play on words with the word sprinkle, too.

Maybe sprinkle is just an American slang for urinate that doesn't translate well.

I have done something similar with a British slang expression before.

I still don't understand "take the piss".  Is this an old expression, or fairly new?
Title: Re: What have you done today?
Post by: Queen Victoria on May 04, 2011, 07:47:48 PM
Take your piss, I mean take your pick.

Origin"Take the piss" may be a reference to a related (and dated) idiomatic expression, piss-proud. This is a vulgar pun referring to the morning erections men frequently experience, which have long been popularly attributed to arising from a full bladder, and thus could be considered a "false" erection. In a metaphoric sense, then, someone who is "piss-proud" would suffer from false pride, and taking the piss out of them refers to deflating this false pride, through disparagement or mockery. As knowledge of the expression's metaphoric origin became lost on users, "taking the piss out of" came to be synonymous with disparagement or mockery itself, with less regard to the pride of the subject.

"Take the mickey" may be an abbreviated form of the Cockney rhyming slang "take the mickey bliss", a euphemism for "take the piss." It has also been suggested that "Mickey" is a contraction of "micturate" (urine), in which case "take the micturate" would be a synonymous euphemism for "take the piss." The phrase has been noted since the 1930s.

Alternative theories of origin

One theory is that during the age of the canals in Britain, urine would be brought up the canals to the wool mills in Northern England (particularly to Yorkshire), as urine was used in the process of fixing dye to wool. This was particularly the case for the dyeing items blue with indigo or more traditionally with woad, before synthetic dyes were invented or made commercially available. Being in the business of transporting urine was much less lucrative than transporting wine, so when the boatmen were questioned what they were carrying they would lie and say "I'm taking wine" and the response would be "No you're taking the piss" to express disbelief.

Another theory is that, when tanners had huge pots outside where they worked, the public would be encouraged to urinate into these pots as tanners used the urine to help with tanning and then the saying of "taking the piss" came into use.

Dealt with constant meltdowns from monkeyboy thanks to stuff his Dad did the day before
Had a heart to heart with monkeygirl who told me she wants two parents who are together so she doesn't have to miss one parent so much when she's with the other.  :-\
Lots of crying. Me and the monkeys
Worked in the garden
Watched a movie with the kids
Talked to my Mum
Trying to find some balance right now. Energy is all over the place.

No, not church!  :zombiefuck:

Yup, church. I'm pretty sure it won't last but her confirmation is in a week's time.

Does your faith have the confirmant choose a confirmation name like the Catholics?

No. Thankfully.

I unfortunately opened my mouth and insisted repeatedly that I wanted my Mom's confirmation name.  She said I didn't.  She was right.  It is Euphrasia.  My athiest sister chose Mary Magdalen.

I think that Euphrasia is a pretty unique name.

It's the name of a herb commonly called eyebright:


I definitely prefer the plant.  St. Euphrasia was one of those boring virgins who led an aescetic life.

 You say that as if there were something wrong with it.  :zoinks:

Frantic, hectic morning.

I was half asleep a little before 8 when Prince Albert walked to the bedroom door, all sweaty, and said, "I was hit by a truck."  I heard the story, took a look at him, dressed and drove him to the Outpatient clinic nearby. 

Here's the story behind the accident.  PA walked from McDonald's and was waiting on the New Orleans side of Elise ready to cross onto our street.  An ambulance put on its siren and turned onto the next street over (one block North of ours.)  Everyone was at a standstill waiting for the ambulance to clear when PA decided to cross the street.  Well the pick-up truck waiting at the stop sign on our street turned onto Elise going North as PA was crossing.  Somehow the extended rear-view mirror on the driver's side hit PA on the left side of his head, sent his glasses flying and sent him to the ground.

PA was so angry that he told the guy to "Get the hell out of here, before I beat the shit out of you."  So the guy left (Gee, I wonder why?).  PA only knows what the guy looks like and that it's a black pick-up, but he didn't get the license plate number.

The clinic cleaned up the scrapes on his elbow and palms, gave him a tetanus shot, and x-rayed his head (he has a nondisplaced fracture through the lateral wall of the left orbit).  Recommended to contact an ENT for possible CAT scan follow-up.  Tylenol, ice and rest for the first 24 hours, pain pills as needed after that.

He couldn't find his glasses, but after we came home from the clinic I found the glasses on the grass at the corner with one lens lying about 2 feet away.  He put them back together.

We called the sheriff's office and made a report after we got home from PSO, just in case. 

And that was how the first 3 hours of my day went.

Was lazy in the morning, just got gas for the car and had the lens put back into his glasses.  This afternoon I took Prince Albert to have his eye checked to make sure the accident hadn't done something to his lens implant (cataract surgery).  His eye pressure is up, so we have to go back in 2 months to have it checked since the medication's being changed.

He's getting a "dirty" eye, on the way to black.  Feeling okay physically, although he cringed every time a car got too near ours.

Thanks.  I asked her about making the hat or the shorts, because I thought I might not have enough cloth to make both and she chose the shorts.  I asked her if there was enough cloth to make both, did she want the hat too and she said yes.  I laid out the pattern pieces creatively and managed to get everything cut out by making the skirt a tiny bit shorter and having a center seam in the hat crown's lining.  Anyway, when it was finished, I wanted her to try the whole outfit on and she said she wasn't wearing the hat.  I asked her why she said she wanted a hat if I had enough cloth to make it and she said, "I didn't want to hurt your feelings."

 :lol:

I recently made this dress for her out of dark blue stretch denim with ladybugs embroidered on it and she picked out the cloth and chose ladybug buttons for it.  It's the one on the right that's red and white gingham in the picture:

Haluski because I spelled it wrong :laugh: is cabbage and noodles. Chopped cabbage & onion, cooked with butter and mixed with egg noodles & sometimes potato dumplings, kid loves it, I basically ate more than my fill of it growing up (Hungarian grandmother).

Monkey bread is this:

http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Monkey-Bread-I/Detail.aspx (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Monkey-Bread-I/Detail.aspx)

Except I leave out the walnuts. That recipe is flawed though IMO. Never use a tube pan unless you want 3rd degree burns, and it should be 3 tubes of 7.5 ounce biscuits because anymore than that will overfill your average bundt pan and run the risk of not cooking all the way through.

  :plus:  for the info!  Haluski sounds delicious, like something I would eat a lot of if I too were Hungarian.

  (Or if I were in your neighborhood with a large empty Tupperware container conveniently in my purse!)   :puppy:

No, my neighbours are Polish. Two main tennants, and a whole lot of short-time ones. I had had some chats with the guy next-door, but, till recently, he was the only one who spoke Dutch. Now she is living there too. And, 8 other women, but they are only there for a short time.

Got the washing machine running.
Had a mechanic over from the housing company to fix some things.
Made some phonecalls.
Did the return admin for the mail, apart from the mail report that is, it was missing yesterday. I can live with that, didn't have much to report anyway.

This afternoon I visited a big (4 of 5 stars) camping to look at a chalet/log cabin that's for sale. The chalet seems OK from the outside and the plot's big enough but the returning problem with wooden chalets (I've seem quite a few now) is that the ceilings tend to be soo low. Well, I just don't like low ceilings.

Dunno..

Got up at stupid o'clock to drive Wolfish to the airport bus stop, fell back to sleep, overslept, rushed off to work, got bored out of my mind, found it again somehow, headed home, zoned, drew, attempted to focus, drew some more.

I posted this

you have no clue (in my room)
Date: 2011-05-20, 4:50AM EDT

kinky sex is not Ds. Bondage is not Ds. Buttplugs are not Ds

Does any SUBMISSIVE MAN really know what Ds is ?

and got this in return

Reply to:

i bet you have your head so far up your ass you don't have a fukn clue what the THREE things BDSM stands for bitch.



Ok, first off, why the "bitch"

second off, I NEVER SAID BDSM I SAID Ds

Ds is a "part" of BDSM. It has absolutely nothing to do with buttplugs and ball gags.



I unerstand not many people know about this stuff. but it really pisses me off when people THINK they do

Id love to actually, Ive thought about writing a book. I bet I could.


So many people think they know, when the truth is they have no clue unless they actually have done the stuff. BDSM is 3 different things. Bondage and discipline...Domination and submission...and Sadism and Masochism .

These things can easily be independent of each other. ( people into Ds may not have any sexual contact at all)

Id like to see someone who "read the wikipedia article" on BDSM shit their pants when they got into a real situation

Post by: eris on May 20, 2011, 11:49:50 AM
I dont really have anything against the article. it seems ok I guess, I also didnt really read the whole thing

 what I mean to say, is that people cant understand something like this by just reading superficially about it

It is very psychological

I have an online friend, and he is so submissive I almost dont understand him.

He talks about sitting in a cage, crying , watching his girlfriend fuck some guy

I said " are you ok ?"

He said it is the  most powerful thing that ever happened to him, and he just shakes when he thinks about it

but it is what he wants

he doesnt even touch her anymore, he isnt allowed

Its not always about wanting something; sometimes it is something you DONT want

and it certainly isnt about being horny.

It is just really complicated, and a 1000 word essay on it really cant describe it

It is very very powerful.

Yes Miss, there are THOUSANDS of men who want nothing more than to come and do your housework for you. You may want to yell at them a bit but even that isnt required.

re-joined fetlife after a long absence

and wrote the goddamn story of my life.

lets hope it is worth it

About me (edit)

Hello everyone. I am new to Fetlife but not the lifestyle.

When I was in third grade I had a crush on a boy so I kicked him in the balls. Things only seemed to progress from there. I am a Top, and a Dominant, and I was born this way. Ive also got a thing for pee and crossdressers. I wear a strap-on whenever I can. I really don't switch at all except for watersports and I am absolutely disgusted with vanilla relationships. I was married for years and now that I am single I have no desire to ever have "normal" sex again. I am not a mean person, and this is not every submissives cup of tea. I do, however, take complete control of a mans orgasm. I have a great interest in male/male and forced bi. I really am not interested in women, just men that look like women. I do like trans girls, and might be interested in a trans boy if they were interesting enough. I just want someone to become my very own doll and let me dress them like a girl, watch them pee, tie them up, gag them, and peg them. My only limits are scat, blood, sounding, vaginas, and anything illegal.

In my vanilla life I am a nice girl that likes punk rock, art, and film. I am a thinker. I am intelligent, educated and a loner. I am the strong quiet type. I haven't decided if I want to post pictures publicly yet but I can show anyone who I talk to my webcam. I am devastatingly beautiful. You'll just love me.

My main interests are (but not limited to) Watersports, Chastity and Keyholding, Bondage and Gags, Objectification, Sissification, CBT, Forced Bi, Tease and Denial, Dolls, Pegging, and Turning Boys Into Girls

Fetishes (browse | bulk edit)

Into: 24/7, age play, anal training, bathroom use control, bisexual men, bondage, cbt, chastity, clamps and clips, collaring, control, crossdressers, cuckolding, diapers, discipline, dolls, exhibitionism, forced bi, forniphilia, gags, golden showers, humiliation, keyholding, kissing, male dollification, mommy/boy dynamics, my name written on your body, objectification, orgasm control, pegging, public play, sensory deprivation, sissification, spanking, submissive men, tease and denial, total power exchange, voyeurism, watching boys fuck each other, watersports.

** CRAIGSLIST ADVISORY --- AVOID SCAMS BY DEALING LOCALLY
** Avoid:  wiring money, cross-border deals, work-at-home
** Beware: cashier checks, money orders, escrow, shipping
** More Info:  http://www.craigslist.org/about/scams.html

D/s is contained in BDSM moron, and it's spelled D/s not Ds.  you wanna play in the kinky world, LEARN THE PROPER USE OF THE TERMS.   now, go BURN your computer, you're too fucking stupid to own one.  KEEP your head in your ASS where it belongs, shithead.



!!!!




I wrote this, and then blocked her  :dunno:

 

The post mentioned Ds. Ds is a distinct part of BDSM. No where in the entire post was mentioned the term BDSM

Just one part of it. you DO know they can exist on their own ? You really think everyone does everything ?

 if you think everyone in a master slave relationship is into ballgags you're retarded.

You posted a picture of his store once I remember, it was awesome.  :'(




It sucks I will miss coming up here.  The property only went for $53000 too which really sucked for my brother

It should have sold for alot more than that...fuck, I'm sure he's sick about it. I would be.  :zombiefuck:

I was raptured at about 2 pm.  Flew a rainbow colored pony up to Heaven and hung out with J-dog and his crew for a little while.  We passed around an epic blunt and shot the shit for a while.  J-dog passed out (little queer can't handle his weed) so I nailed Mary Magdalene until she begged for a break.  Went out to the fridge for some munchies, tripped over this handwoven rug thing that he had in the kitchen and landed back here with the rest of you "sinners".  It was an entertaining afternoon I guess.  The pony ride was pretty sweet.

I made my daughter's doll a dress that will match my daughter's embroidered denim dress this morning.  My daughter's dress is cut out and ready to be sewn together, but I decided to sew the doll's dress first.  I was proud of myself for changing a doll's dress pattern that I found online to look like my daughter's dress and also for figuring out how to lay it out on the three yards of fabric I bought to make the dress and shorts for my daughter in the gaps between my daughter's dress and shorts pattern pieces.

Goofed off with monkeygirl for most of the morning
Read books together
Then monkeyboy joined in the fun. Nothing beats belly laughing
Had a shower
Kids went off with their Dad for the day
Watched day 1 of Oprah's finale. It was amazing.
Cleaned
Did dishes
Did some crafty stuff
Took pics of my cat
Now listening to fireworks being lit way too early. It's not even dark out yet

OK, now I get it.

Been thinking on becoming a union member for a couple of years now. But, the part-time low-pay jobs I had lately make it a bit costly. Did motivate my brother to finally join one.

Went to bed at 4:45 am, got up @ 10:00 am, got my friend who had flown in from Hong Kong back to SFO. He lives close by me so I was helping look after his dog and cat. He went with the woman he went to meet to Disneyland Hong Kong and he brought me back a leather ball cap with Mickey Mouse and the Disney castle embossed on it.  :2thumbsup: Emailed my resign into my local union.

Why are you resigning?
I should have written that as re-signing the out of work book.
so you are a union man still?
Yes, I am too old to retrain and finding a job that pays that well would be difficult.

OK, now I get it.

Been thinking on becoming a union member for a couple of years now. But, the part-time low-pay jobs I had lately make it a bit costly. Did motivate my brother to finally join one.
Most Unions here will let a new brother or sister get a few paychecks under their belt before collecting initiation dues.

Got kids to school, made a lot of phone-calls. Had my fortnightly support for administration and paperwork here.
And started my day with massive sleep deprivation. Am bearing the consequences now. But, it's worth it. I really needed the time on my own in the night. Only time I will get that alone time.

I have played Ocarina of Time on the N64 as well. Got stuck at a part with skeletons on a boat though. That was a long time ago but I still remember how frustrating it was.

Fry up some potatoes (diced or strips).  Fry some meat (usually ham, sausage or bacon) and onions.  Add the cooked potatoes to the cooked ham and add any veggies you'd like.  Beat some eggs (enough to cover the mix in the fry pan) with some parsley and garlic.  Add the beaten eggs to the mix in the fry pan and sprinkle cheese on top.  You can either take a plate and slip the omelet into in and flip it back into the fry pan or put the fry pan under the broiler.  Cut into wedges and serve with a green salad.  It's a really flexible recipe because you can use leftove spaghetti, hamburger meat, whatever veggies you have, etc.

I just finished making my daughter's dress that's the same as the doll's dress I finished a few days ago.

It's denim embroidered with twin cherries and my daughter picked out twin cherry buttons to go with it.  It turned out really cute.  I have a hat cut out as well, but she refused to wear the last hat I made for her, so I'm not bothering sewing this one yet.  If it looks like she will go somewhere a hat will be useful, I'll go ahead and sew it together then.  Otherwise, I'll do it when I have some free time.

Went to the ER because I had difficulty breathing and the asthma spray didn't do a thing. Turns out I have an inflammation of the airways and need penicillin and another type of asthma spray.

Drove daughter to the bf and shopped some groceries afterwards.

Raced my mail around, in the mean time calling people to see if someone with a car could help me out getting the cat to a vet. Went to the vet. Am almost a hundred euro lighter. And it is almost time to pick up the youngest from her school outing.

Went to GA's to get my very interesting mail (it actually was interesting because it was from a housing place for people with mental illness, they want to know if I am still interested in getting a place of my own, which I am).
Went to uni to look at an interesting stats book and was disappointed that it wasn't as interesting as I had hoped. Came home and tried to study but didn't end up getting much done, now posting here heh.

Well, this afternoon I've made myself some strawberry jam.

It's easy to do but all in all it took me almost an hour to make it. (which is fine ofc.)

Yum, asparagus jam..

@Jesus.. Well, it's easy enough.. the cleaning of the fruit takes the longest time. It's the period for local strawberry.. and yeah, asparagus, here also. Have a stack of it in the fridge at the moment. Thinking to make pasta/asparagus dish with the softer tops and to make a broth/soup of the bottom ends. Both nice, imo.

And yeah, I have strawberry jam for the rest of the Summer. (haven't tasted the result yet though.. so maybe.. bleh)(nah, bet it's good)

Worked some in my garden today. I pruned a part of the laurel hedge and also the buxus/box-tree hedge. Um, to do the box-tree hedge with my elec. trimmer apparatus wasn't a good idea though.. for I cut through the elec. wire and short-circuited the electrical system in the house.  :zoinks: Well, repaired the wire and luckily the elec. machine worked again after it.

Have done other things of course but only going to mention that the dinner I made an hour ago was really nice.

Went to the dentist this morning and just when the pain was decreasing from last Friday's surgery he decided (um, rightly so) to give the tooth in front of extracted molar a 'look after' and yeah, you guessed right.. ouch again. Well good thing is that I still have some good working painkillers and I don't have to worry about teeth/dentists/surgeries for a while now. (I hope)

Went for some groceries in the afternoon and bumped into the good looking Asian girl again. This time outside the supermarket. Well, she passed by just in front of me and when I was about to say hi she shyly looked downwards and..

(silence) :nerdy:

After dinner I've put some plants in the soil and tried to fix the tile terrace a bit, trying to make it properly levelled, but failed and broke, by hammering on it, a tile which supposed to a tick strong one.

Today I went to my parents' and my mum gave me some soup in tins and some pies to take back with me to GA's. Back at GA's I vacuumed the house and mopped the floors. Looks much better now. The cat didn't appreciate me using the vacuum cleaner though. GA is going to have to get carpet cleaners in to wash the carpet though, there is only so much that a vacuum cleaner can do.

I may start one should I get a place. I may not get the place that is on offer at the moment, someone else may get it. But I am really hopeful that I am the one who gets the new place. I am a bit worried about it because my doctor wrote that I have autism on the letter I gave the housing people. It was supposed to be about how my mental health is at the moment and he did write about that but also about autism. I hope the housing people don't exclude me because I am autistic. :dunno:

Well I kind of did ask my doctor about it as he was composing the letter, I asked should he put autism in it. He said it should be fine. I know if the housing people do exclude me they won't come right out and say it is because I am autistic but they will just have nothing to offer me and I will be excluded that way. Kind of like a hidden discrimination.

On the positive side, could be that they have more sound proof places they preferably rent to people on the spectrum.

Yes I do, my LAC (Local Area Coordinator) from the Diasability Services Commission. I went and saw her last week about it and she said she can ring the housing people for me to see what is happening. Don't think she has done that yet though. She also said that she could go along with me should I have an interview or whatever.

The housing people cater for people with a mental illness. I don't think autism is included. I have depression and that is why I signed up with them in 2005. My depression is pretty stable at the moment - it is always there but it is not operating at full force right now thankfully.

Yes I do, my LAC (Local Area Coordinator) from the Diasability Services Commission. I went and saw her last week about it and she said she can ring the housing people for me to see what is happening. Don't think she has done that yet though. She also said that she could go along with me should I have an interview or whatever.

On the positive side, could be that they have more sound proof places they preferably rent to people on the spectrum.
The housing people cater for people with a mental illness. I don't think autism is included. I have depression and that is why I signed up with them in 2005. My depression is pretty stable at the moment - it is always there but it is not operating at full force right now thankfully.

OK, I hope it will all work out well, and soon too.

Well I kind of did ask my doctor about it as he was composing the letter, I asked should he put autism in it. He said it should be fine. I know if the housing people do exclude me they won't come right out and say it is because I am autistic but they will just have nothing to offer me and I will be excluded that way. Kind of like a hidden discrimination.

I hope you get it, renaeden.

Today I went with my mum to the Reject Shop (which despite its name sells some pretty good stuff at bargain prices) where I bought some packing boxes and some tinned food. My mum got a 10 pack of socks which I wish I had seen earlier this year when I went shopping for socks. Then I had lunch at my mum's place, then came back to GA's and packed two boxes full of books. I stopped there, though, as I lost interest, heh.

Somewhat different justice system here but.. Can you really get jail time for punching someone on the nose after she stole from you? OK, that's a naive question. But what would that solve? Think a fee or some hours public service is the more common practice here in this situation. (not sure)

There must be a way to get her not to press charges and getting your phone (and xanax) back. You have a good card in hand by knowing about the weed growing but that could be tricky. Don't mention it in public is my advice for that could have unexpected consequences maybe.

Perhaps seek some advice from friends.. or legal advice, about the situation if this grows bigger.

In some states, it is legal to kill anyone who tries to rob you with a deadly weapon. I don't believe that Pennsylvania is one of them.

If you aren't willing to involve the police, eris, perhaps you should sue her for the cost of replacing your phone and your Xanax. If she is growing marijuana and you win your case, she will have to pay you or the police could become involved. The problems with this are that you would have to prove that she stole the items, and she might counter-sue you for assault. If you represent yourself and file a case in small claims court, you could keep legal costs to a minimum.

Wow eris, you have done a lot today.  :o

I went and saw my psych (the one who dxed me) for the first time in two years. It was good to catch up. She suggested a few things to do so I won't feel so lonely/outside the group at uni.

Then I went to my mum's to get the mental health care plan that I was supposed to give my psych (stupid me forgot) and mailed it to my psych.

Then I went to the shops and got some more cat food and milk.

yes horrible day, i sound horrible just reading it. i dont like fighting and ive been so overstimulated all day i cants stand it. took today off work i need to just forget everything. that girl is trouble, and i know i shold not have hit her, I almost never hit anyone ever, but she stole 400$ off me and i knew it, and she spit on me. And I just almost cant believe what happened afterwards. I sound like a common thug.
Title: Re: What have you done today?
Post by: renaeden on June 29, 2011, 04:05:41 AM
Well $400 is a lot of money. And your phone. And your meds. She took a lot from you. Plus she spat on you? If it were me I would be furious.

Post by: eris on June 29, 2011, 04:32:56 AM
she took my phone after i hit her. I dont really know my own strength really. I opened her nose up. I like immediately freaked out on myself and made her leave. Then later, it was so bizarre my cousin ( her boyfriend) just came right in the house and had me up against the wall ! It was insane. He is a man and obviously stronger than me so he was easily able to push me against the wall, but I was really hitting him a lot harder than he was hitting me it seemed. Opened his nose too, and his cheek. bloody. I just kept punching him in the face over and over I like went nuts, like survival mode. I hit him a lot harder than he hit me and that almost seems impossible. At least i know I can defend myself. I am not too bruised up actually. He will get in trouble also for just busting in my house uninvited like that, does not matter he is more marked up than me.

Mothered, ran an extended virusscan, only found three tracking cookies, changed password of email-program, warned some people not to open possible mail sent by me on June 28.
After that, mail, lunch with kid, chatting, getting kid to training, done some shopping, came home, made dinner, studied topography of Noord-Brabant with youngest. Had tea with the ladies, cuddled youngest into bed. Watched a detective with the oldest. Sent her to bed. Had some stern conversations with the cats. And now am here.

To comfort you,

The day before, I got the kids to school, attempted to do some housekeeping, went to bed instead. Did my rounds, came home and got in the plastic pool I had put up for the kids. And we had cereal for dinner. (My kids were not looking forward to a proper dinner either). After watching the thunderstorm, we went to bed.

GA doesn't even know I have done this, so it is a surprise.

Good for you.

As hard as it must have been to move your things out of GA's, it would have been much harder to do with GA there crying.

Well, she has pressed charges on me and so did he. She is pressing charges because I did hit her and leave bad marks, and I left really really bad marks on his face. Blood and bruises and they took pictures, I only have one small bruise on my cheek. I did hit her out of anger and may be untimely charged with assault for hitting her. They are arguing that she was a guest at the time and had access to the house, and she brought him into the house. He came into my house and spit in my face and kind of attacked each other them. He was able to overpower me in the sense of shoving me and pushing me to the wall, but I hit very very hard. in the face. The fact of how much damage i did to them and relatively none to me may be bad news for me. And I have a criminal record.

This afternoon/evening I'm/was trying to make some new wooden sidings for my Swiss army knife (out of the lighter variant of merbau/intsia bijuga wood) but cut my finger doing so. Small cut but just wish I could use my elec. milling machine tool to copy the contours of the previous plastic sides of the knife but the machine is too plumb or the pieces to copy too small to make that work. So it's a sharp chisel, knife, file and sandpaper I use.

Had a look in and around an old chalet as well earlier but the woman living there at present is asking way too much for the place. Fucking shame, for it's standing on a beautiful and rel. big plot of land.. surrounded by forest. It has a lot of potential and think I'm going to make a bid 2/3 tads lower and see how that goes.

It must be nice being able to drive to so many different countries and cultures.  I envy you continental Europeans.  I can drive to Canada if I want America-light, or to Mexico if I want to contract dysentery.

Norwegians are pretty much like Swedes, in spite of both sides claiming the opposite. It takes a Finn like me to recognise the fact.

But yes, it is nice. Norway looks very different. The landscape in southern Norway is amazing. And I love to bee able to drive to continental Europe and visit places like the Czech Republic or France, both of which are very different from us and very different from each other.

Pressed a lot of "marked as read" buttons.

Too tired to read more than 10% of the new stuff.

Sue me if you feel unappreciated. I'm guilty.  :P

I'm doing that a lot lately also, but because the site is so slow to navigate these days.

Is this always the case for you? Because for me, the site is fairly quick.

Let me get rid of our house guests and I'll focus on the problem. Give me until Sunday night. :P

Turned on the waterfall from pond #3 to pond #1, after having it turned off for the past 9 months while I replaced the scrap-of-pond-liner-in-a-hole affair that used to flow into it with a much larger and more impressive wood-frame-and-acrylic-panels outdoor aquarium.

Saw the consultant for the first time after my op today, I haven't seen anyone since my op so I have no idea how it went or anything. He showed me some pics they took whilst they were working away and there was so much damage, he said it was the worst he'd seen. The cartlidge that hadn't been worn away and dispensed all around my knee by dislocations had formed a huge spike on the back of my kneecap which explains why I felt a tearing sensation when it'd pop out. He said a lot of other stuff too about my quadriceps on one side being non-existant due to damage and how my kneecap would come off completely when it dislocates. He said a lot really. Then I saw a nurse who removed my bandages and sterry strips from my wounds and then I went for a carvery with my mum. After that I had a physio appointment and managed to bend my knee for the first time, managed to get up to 49 degrees but boy did it hurt. Then I walked back to the car and fell over, cried, and eventually got home to bed.

Then after all that, I posted a load of whiney wank on the internet about my day that nobody gives a shit about really. That's about it. :zoinks:

In short: The consultant said it'd hurt a lot more because it was a far bigger operation than the last time it was done on the other knee.

In long: There was a lot more mess to clean up and they had to shave off a lot of bone and cartlidge, and also they had to replace some muscles. They had to change my anatomy a lot too, a lot of bones were in the wrong place because of dislocations and also the way I was born.

The pain'll die down soon hopefully :P

Same. It's been more than 30 years that I lived without light pollution.

I can see a few stars, but, it's not the same. And I do miss the sensation of real darkness a lot.

I received a free ticket when I donated blood on Thursday.  I'll probably pay the upgrade to see it in IMAX.  Was it worth it in 3D?

I think that this one was worth the extra $3, since the whole movie was in 3-D as opposed to just the beginning.

So you did like the movie? My friend has already seen it twice.

I wish to see it in 2D as I can't see in 3D but I think the movie is only out in 3D over here.

I did enjoy it.  There are some minor discrepancies from the book, but nothing too radical.

Here, almost every theater seems to have it in both 3-D and 2-D, with more than one screen devoted to 2-D so it shows every half-hour or so.  We got there early, but only waited in a very short line.  Then we went to Burger King and came back shortly after the seating started for the 3-D movie to make sure we could get good seats together.  We didn't really need to bother, since the theater was only about half to three-quarters full.  That may be because we saw it in our local theater, which is considered less desirable because it doesn't have stadium seating.

Made a radio removal aid out of two pieces of a wire coat hanger & yanked the radio out of mom's Jetta.

It locked and went into SAFE mode a couple of weeks ago when we put in a new battery, we didn't have a code to unlock it with, so I took a chance that it was written it on the underside of the radio.

It was.  :zoinks:

Done some laundry, gave water to the indoor plants and made some lunch. A boiled egg and some salad with radish, lettuce, garden cress, onion, walnut, goat's cheese and thyme/honey dressing. Don't make salads much but do love this one. Makes one feel a tad healthier after consumption. (or something). Fed the outside birds some leftover apple pastry thingie made small too. They loved it.

What did you plan to do for her birthday?

Since she turned 22, it was going to be a simple family dinner with one or 2 close family friends.  Neither PA or I had birthday parties growing up and I'm just not used to them.  Anyway at 22 I think she should be having a lunch date with co-workers (if she ever gets a job), something more adult.  But with her 10 y/o mind it's a hard sell.

What provider did you go for? I'm thinking on changing myself, in combination with internet, and, probably phone too. Pondering on getting Ziggo, but haven't decided yet.

@ Hyke: Provider is Ziggo. Had them providing analogue TV before today but Ziggo decided to not broadcast my beloved BBC2 any more and most of my German channels since last July 18th too. (before that they skipped the French ones, others)

What remained were the Dutch public channels, 2 Belgium ones and ja, lots of the commercially driven bullshit channels which I tend to avoid mostly. (I really dislike 'plastic stuff' shown and loud commercial breaks there)

Well, Ziggo is okay. No complains really.. other than the channels loss mentioned.. but that's fixed since this afternoon.

I have separate providers though. Ziggo for TV and Online.nl for phone and internet. It all depends a bit what's important for you and daughters. Decent downloading of movies, multi i-tasking or more complex gaming require faster internet speed for instance. Ziggo's alles-in-1 (40 MB/s download/up 4 MB/s à €52 a month) seems a fair deal then. When speed isn't that important Online's 3-in-1 deals are cheaper, I think.

Most admit, just took a speed test and Online isn't really fast. 9 Mbps download and a 0.9 Mbps upload I got on the test just now. (http://www.speedtest.net/ (http://www.speedtest.net/))

I have the online internet/phone thing too. The village I live in will at the most give me 8Mbps, if everything is cooperating. Only way to get faster is via cable.
I was pretty content about online for a few years, but lately my phone is not what it used to be, and with the expanding internet experience of my daughters, my modem needs resetting a lot. So, Ziggo seems to be the best solution. Will have to go to digital indeed, there is hardly anything left that is worth watching.

Went up mom's, put trash out.

Went to the bank, then the drugstore & grocery store for mom, dropped stuff off at mom's.

Came home, got food, vacuumed, cleaned the downstairs and I'm working on the 3rd load of laundry.

The grass still needs cut.  :P   Maybe tomorrow.

Took the Princess Royal to register for the Adult Education course.  Registration was supposed to be for 9.  We were advised to get there early.  So we were there for 7:30, sat in the car and got in line for 7:45.  The handed out numbers and she was number 57.  They started letting people in and we did the registration thing on the computer.  She has to go back 2 days in August for a Locator test and a TABE test.  Then she's officially registered.

No good deed goes unpunished.

My husband and I saw a motorcycle have an accident a few cars ahead of us, stopped to see if he needed help and to call 911, but we saw a sheriff just up the road so we drove there to get him instead.  By the time we got to him, another car was already getting him and there were already lots of people on the scene, and the motorcycle rider was getting up off the ground so we figured he had enough help and drove on toward home.  A sheriff pulled up behind us and turned on his lights for us to stop, so we pulled over and he asked for license and registration and asked us to come back with him to the scene of the accident because he said he had witnesses there that said that we caused the motorcycle's accident.

Fortunately, the motorcycle rider said that we were not involved, that it was a white truck who caused the accident, so after the sheriff unsuccessfully tried to locate his "witnesses who said that we were involved" he finally apologized to us and said that we were free to leave.  Apparently the so-called witness against us was the driver of the white truck and when the sheriff took off after us, he told the other people who stopped that he had to go to work and he left.

I felt a pain in my chest yesterday, phoned them, and they told me to come in right away. I was hooked up to a machine  that monitored my heart for the night and most of today, they drew blood from me about half a dozen times and I was subjected to a stress test to see if my heart would cause me grief.

It didn't.

As far as they can tell, the pain was muscular and a large part was stress made worse by my asthma. I'm fine and back home.

Hospitals are far too white for me to feel comfortable in a hospital.

Today, I stayed home from work over at my partner's house (while he went to work). I've been waiting for a package delivery which only just came. In the meantime, I slept in till 8:30am, got up, had some cereal for breakfast, watched an episode from the second season of Lie to Me, and then have been cleaning the house since (straightened his office, did the laundry, straightened the bathroom, put away some books from a box he hadn't gotten to you, counted coins and put them in their wrappers, and am now sitting down to a late lunch. Partner should be home within the next hour, and then he'll start putting together his Bowflex that got delivered today.

This evening I'd like to go to Michael's and pick up some faux-flowers for some vases I got for the kitchen.

This actually happened yesterday, but my daughter and I bought an ice cream maker and we made ginger ice cream with both fresh ginger and candied ginger.  We had been going out for ice cream and she had been getting ginger ice cream from the ice cream shop, but the they ran out of ginger and didn't have any the last two times we went, so she had to settle for birthday cake ice cream.

We had to go to two stores to find the ice cream maker and we bought the last one the second store had.  The motor is electric and you use ice and rock salt in the freezer part.  It makes up to six quarts of ice cream, but we didn't make nearly that much, maybe closer to two quarts.

Got my hair cut. It's nice and short again. I did have to tell the hairdresser four times to make it shorter than she was doing. But, it's about how I want it now.



Heard the most hilarious conversation between a text-writer for a local rag and the owner of the hairshop.
if I manage to translate it, I will. That text-writer had no feeling for language what so ever, and had no idea how insulting he was. The owner, not a native Dutch person, saw the humour in it. and I could not help but laugh out loud and tell the text-writer to learn about language.

Woke up
Had shower got dressed and left the house.
Went to NRMA and got a home contents insurance quote and policy.
Went to Harvey Norman and picked out a 5kg washing machine.
Took a drive around the beaches before heading home.
Waited by phone for the agent and conveyancer to call me to say settlement was done.
Went to agent and picked up the keys (she gaves me a present too, a cookbook :)).
Went to the house and identified all the keys, tested the taps, checked all the lights.
Went back home and picked up a few things to dump in the house, took mum's stepladder.
Went to Big W and bought several new energy saving lightbulbs (not enough though, will make second trip tomorrow maybe).
Came back to the house and changed several lightbulbs (using the stepladder).
Set up the phone handset I bought a while ago and tested the line, found out the previous occupiers undisconnected phone number.
Locked up the house and left.

Now I will spend the rest of the night at home doing my usual :beer: + :spitscreen:

Washed the berries and boiled them with about 1 kilo of jam sugar for 3/4 minutes.. and tadaa: 4 jars of blackberry jam. Got some groceries and made a Chinese dish with lots of greens out of the wok, (white) rice and some added chicken's meat for dinner. Also fed the birds and mice in the garden (leftover rice) and replaced a rotten wooden pole there too. After that taught Phoebe (6 y/o niece) some basic dig. camera stuff and let her take pics with my camera. Other things done but....

This morning I took a walk over the bridge that goes to Contra Costa County. It was 4 miles there and back. Then @ 3:30 pm I went to my friend Steve's going away party. The original intent was for Steve to be there to say bye to everyone, but late last month his condition got abruptly worse and he died on August 1st. His wife Becky decided the party must go on and there was opportunity to see old friends and the food was great, including potato salad, green salad, enchiladas, lumpia, fried chicken, cup cakes and pineapple upside down cake.

A prayer for Steve was given by the Chaplain of Bikers For Christ.

This pic made me think of an episode of Gangland where a St Louis cop said outlaw bikers back up to park to hide their license plates from the cops. Fucking idiot. They park that way to make it easier to pull out when leaving.

I like this guy's shirt. Cancer is a POS way to go.  :thumbdn:

I was planning on showing up and leaving fairly quickly but I ended up staying 4 hours because I liked seeing some old friends. With funerals and wakes you might as well have a good time talking to people you care about because the one you lost is dead anyway and will remain so. RIP Steven.

Went to SF today with my friend to get his Visa at the Chinese Consulate. Left anything that could cause legal troubles at home and when I put my Leatherman WaveR multi tool in the bin at the metal detector the fucking guards wouldn't let me in.  :finger: So I went outside to wait for my friend and read the literature that the Falun Dafa (Falun Gong) protestors had outside the Consulate. Then walked back to the waterfront and got the next Ferry to Vallejo. The walk from the Ferry bldg to the Consulate was 3.02 miles each way, so got a little exercise.  :thumbup:

I took the PR to her first "college" class.  I sat in the back with the prof's permission so I could find out the "rules" in case the PR had any questions.  Well, the teacher gave them 12 math problems.  I could see the PR's head sinking lower and lower and her shoulders just slumping with each problem.

Now she's all dejected and thinks she won't be able to reach her dream of Harvard Law School.  I told her she could either go to the tutoring class or I would help her with it.  The usual pep talk of "you won't know everything, that's why there are tutors, etc."  It's going to be a long 7 weeks.

The housing agency came up with that policy two years ago. Apparently lots of people neglect their gardens that much that it is a problem, so, now it is in the tenants agreement that we have to keep the gardens well attended. Paving them completely is allowed though.  :zombiefuck:
There is one positive thing to this new policy, people who can't do gardening anymore can now, through the housing company, get help, from kids in a special ed school, who are specialising in maintaining gardens.

Had I done nothing, they would have approved my garden too, it is not a huge mess, but, had not done anything it it but mowing the lawn for a month or so. So, did a bit.

I do have a low maintenance garden, bit of paving to be able to sit outside, even with the wet conditions of this summer. And for the rest have planting that covers the surface, so, not much weeds popping up anyway.

Trimmed the edges of the pavement a bit, pulled some grass and weeds from between the tiles. Clipped the hedge a bit. All looking respectable enough.

Did the front garden Wednesday evening, and the back garden this evening. Should still mow the lawn, but it was too wet today, and yesterday I was not in the mood after six hours of walking in haste to get the mail done.

^ Yeah, folks who pave the whole garden with tiles = very meh (imo). Especially in combination with cheap wooden Gammel® fences. Not my cuppa at all.

Thought about it for a minute and think this housing agency's policy isn't that bad. It can be quite awful looking out of your window and have to look at your neighbour's messy garden all of the time.

Haven't done much myself qua gardening this year. The weather spoiled the fun of it a bit. Did 'harvest' the row of carrots yesterday. Actually used them in mentioned chicken soup. Birds missed picking them from the bird seeds I tossed around in Winter.

Well, cheers to respectable looking gardens, I say.  :)

Lol @ gammel. There even seems to be a beer with that name.

All those completely paved gardens are so harsh, both in feel as in sight. 
Especially on a hot day.
Streets with a lot of paved front-gardens are a lot hotter than a street with hedges and plants.

I'm not a real fan of pristine gardens, but, a garden should show some love from the owner in the way it is.
I've been very lazy myself too this year. Want to change the front garden. Thinking about an apple tree, maybe two. Who knows, if October is mild, I may change the garden completely and get myself those apple trees.

Dropped CBC off at the US Airways Terminal @ SFO and left the Airport @ 4:21 am. This finished off a very fun visit for both of us. One benefit to going to SFO this early was being able to make it to the Airport in 45 minutes and back to Vallejo in the same time. No way in hell that will happen in daytime traffic.

Had a nice b'fast at the diner and my eyes had a feast as well.  When I walked in it was very crowded with people standing and eating.  Gorgeous, tall men.  Turns out they are sailors who came into town for the Saints game and decided to stop there for lunch.  All 14 of them, gorgeous.  Did I mention they were gorgeous, all of them?

 That's all very nice, dear, but what did they look like?   :prude:

I went to my sister and BIL's house to see my niece and her new baby. He is a pretty good size baby for being 2 days old. My parents were there and we all had a good visit.

My new, uh, friend, came over for a few hours before he went to work today. yes I am still taking things slow. Have kissed him ( a lot, but ) that is all. Although, I did talk to him about my sexual inclinations. He was not freaked out, in fact, his eyes got really big and said " wow thats really interesting maybe you can show me more about it later" as he seemed slightly nervous and excited. Later he told me he hasnt got into BDSM yet because no girl ever wanted to with him but he is "interested". Seems promising.

just got back from a 5 mile walk. I usually walk at least a half mile to a mile a day, but I like to take longer ones sometimes. I just listen to my ipod and zone out.  I feel good.

I understand that to be the case in France, New Zealand, Philadelphia and New Jersey. Out here on the West Coast our Bay Area bridges are toll but not the Highways. In New Zealand I barely had time to pull off the Northern Motorway and buy the toll at one point.  :autism:

I think I may finally have joined the computer age.  I signed up for online access to all our accounts.  And I have debit cards for them too.  The hassles involved if we have to evacuate for a hurricane and don't have this just seemed to warrant  me overcoming my reluctance.

My day has been very similar to that so far. Though, I didn't even have to buy breakfast before having it. And only one of my offspring went to class.
