I called tech ’support’ and the maroon on the phone said .. “hmmm, normally that shouldn’t happen”
No shit.
I spent 45 min explaining to him that the whole purpose of tech support is to resolve issues that are outside the normal scope. Normal is when you read the quick start guide and don’t have to call tech support.
“Well sir, that never happens. What would you like me to do about it?”
If my luck holds he’ll get promoted to management ……………

nicest visit to a medical facility .. EVER…
Baylor All Saints in FT Worth ROCKS
It was enough of a change from what I’m accustomed to that I really don’t even know how to describe it.
I do know that my BP was 120/80 instead of 145/95 … funny how that happens.

I’m starting to feel a bit out of touch with things. I haven’t really had time to keep up with the RSS feeds and I’ve not managed to catch a GunNuts live for around 3 weeks now.
I’m pretty sure the .gov still doesn’t care what we have to say and the Obama tax cheat cabinet is still on auto-destruct. Gas prices are up and 401k’s are down.. that sort of thing. So, I’m probably not missing much.
I feel a bit of obligation to keep the readers entertained to some degree, but there isn’t a whole lot I can say that isn’t already posted by someone on the sidebar.
I have noticed quite a few searches for DiHydrogen Oxide lately … a regular flood you might say.
I also noticed that I can make it cloud up and rain by the simple act of putting cardboard boxes in the back of the truck. I may need a boat to get my stuff moved on schedule. As it warms up, I may end up just moving in the rain … moving when its 90 deg sucks. I’m way too soft for that crap.
The disassembly of the computer desk is nearing the top of the to-do list, so the web-droid will be offline soon. I have blog access from the iphone, but it’s just not the same.

Hey, I’m sorry I’m sick. I’m sorry there’s no cure. I’m sorry I have to go see the doctor. I’m sorry I have to get referrals for specialists all the time. I’m sorry about a lot of things.
I am NOT sorry you have a job. I am NOT sorry you get a paycheck. I am NOT sorry you have to buy your makeup at the HomeDepot paint counter. I am NOT sorry your pores are so big your ugly shows all the way from inside. I am NOT sorry your momma didn’t understand. I sure as hell will not be sorry when I come into the office and you have to actually DO YOUR FUCKING JOB, you stupid, condescending, lazy ass, arrogant, self-centered, conceited cum-sponge.
and I won’t lose a second of sleep over it when all you nationalized healthcare mutherfuckers get what you want, you stupid bastards.

I’m still trying to wrap my brain around the concept of a fridge that isn’t cold enough because a heating element failed.
or if you prefer .. its too hot because the heater quit
apparently the defroster (heater) in the freezer (yeah I know: heater in the freezer) quit some time ago and the resulting ‘frosting over’ caused the cooling system to get its undies in a bunch so it up and quit too.
now, I watched the part get replaced, which was kind of painful, (I’ve seen more active brain cells at a drunk hillbilly convention and better people skills on an episode of COPS) but I’m not entirely convinced this is the solution to the whole problem.
Given that the freezer temp is about 65 degrees F it will likely be a while before we know definitively whether the fridge will come out of its coma or not.
We’ll see. … in the meantime I’m going out in the back yard and drop some apples to see if I can change our orbit
