Ch-ch-ch-changes!

I changed the links for this blog. I’ve added drop-down menus that will allow you to see only the items you wish and you can skip the stuff you’ve already viewed.

I returned my king sized throne to the front room. While we removed it because it was more dominating than the couch, I brought it back because of my coccyx pain. Softer and more roomy and it gives Erin more room to cuddle with me. It does need a good cleaning though. I do sit higher in this than my other chair.

Joan Rivers is dead. Big deal. Why are we supposed to get all weepy over the death of a celebrity? They live, they die. They earn, they die. They entertain, they die. They/we all die. I’m not going to mourn her, or any other celeb for that matter.

Erin

Erin returns to us on Sunday. She spent the week at the Hern’s place. She’s less than happy going there now and that pleases me sorta. I know I shouldn’t be so damned catty, but I’m not rubbing this in their faces or anything, but I’m still pleased.

Ed Johnson

I’m working on a website for his new venture. Blue Arrow Motors in Diamond Illinois. Still a bit of work needed, but it’s up and running, just waiting for the State of Illinois licensing department approval. The inspector assigned to Ed’s area is on vacation so Ed has to wait. SOS in Illinois.

Air

I’m getting tired of maintaining my air hose and I just bought 3 air chucks to replace the bad one and once they have been trashed I will be out of the air business. I’ll maintain a hose in the garage and let friends use it, but no more public air. People treat this service like shit and I’m sick of it.

If you love a flower, don’t pick it up. If you pick it up it dies and ceases to be what you love. So if you love a flower, let it be. Love is not about possession. Love is about appreciation.  ~~Osho~~

Sucky day yesterday

Every single phone call I received was interrupted by another call or someone asking me a question. During the meeting I was at I turned my phone to airplane mode to keep from receiving any calls. I tried calling Nina during the trip home and couldn’t figure the problem out until I remembered the mode switch.

The meeting went fine, but once again a phone annoyed me. This was a call to the group that was supposed to last 15 minutes that ended up being 45 minutes long. He just talked and talked and talked and wouldn’t shut up. The company he owns is called Internet Honey, which in my mind suits him cause he kept talking like a girl.

If anyone is interested, I have that missing Malaysian Boeing 777 parked out back. Don’t tell the searchers! The passengers and crew all took a  shuttle to the Pojoaque Pueblo casino. I don’t think they’re coming back.

The weatherliars are predicting wetness here again. They’re such douches. “it’s gonna rain, but maybe 50% or more will evaporate before it hits the ground.”

I think it’s safe for me to put my snow plow away. I bet Nancy wishes she could say the same. Still in Fla. guys?

I’m thinking of taking my air miles and using them to go somewhere and just get away from here for a week. Anyone want to join me? I can do business class with all the miles I got now. London because I love that town? Amsterdam for the red-light district? Paris to get spit on by the snooty French? Rome to see the Pope? Hell, I’ll probably will just drive to Chicago next month and see Mom.

Erin left yesterday. Stupid Herns just keep pissing Tori off. I’d tell you what happened but that would just aggregate her.

One of the public shitters backed up yesterday. I was on the phone when this happened too. I just remembered that and didn’t want to edit earlier writings. I then had to hunt down a real mop and mob bucket. MY employees like tiny little mops that are about the size of Q-Tips and just as effective. MY employees like just a plain bucket over a wringer bucket that is more efficient. MY employees are idiots. (Not meaning Andy and Tori.)

Fracking? You guys know what it is? I know my friends out here do, but some of my eastern friends may not know or care. I have the solution to stop fracking. Tax all water in the county enough to make fracking cost prohibitive. Exempt all non-commercial and residential uses. Exempt all agri users too. Hell, exempt all current water uses and it would do the same thing. Fracking is an oil extraction procedure that uses millions of gallons of water to fracture the bedrock in the area around a played out oil well to release the trapped oil.

Maybe today will be a nice day.

January 1, 2014

  • OK, that was the first time I typed that this year and NO I did not type 2013 out of habit.
  • I typed in 2104. Not a good start.
  • I just returned from the car wash. A clean car to start the year.
  • That may be the only time I wash it in 2014.
  • OK, that time I did type 2013.
  • Erin’s been sick now for 2 weeks. We medicate her and they use “natural cures” on her. Assholes.
  • I swear that if she returns from Dilia still coughing and running occasional fevers, they will not see her until she’s better.
  • I will take her to the doctor and if he can’t see her I will go to one of those immediate care clinics that are around now.
  • We beat it down and they give her tea and honey. Caffeine and sugar. Assholes.
  • Watching TV this a.m. and the commercials for the new shows on CMT are dropping my I.Q. by leaps and bounds. It appears that stupid is the norm for all reality shows. Party Down South is the newest greatest example of stupidity.
  • Happy New Year everyone!
Walk away from anything or anyone who takes away from your joy. Life is too short to put up with people who waste your time.

Clean Carpet

With Tori’s little piss creators no longer allowed in my house, we had the carpet cleaned today. It looks good. We even did Tori’s old room, which I felt should be sealed up and never entered again. It should have been declared a hazardous waste zone and posted as such. The carpet looked black at points.

We moved some furniture around and into Tori’s old room and the living room looks more spacious and brighter. I don’t want to replace the furniture anytime soon, but I’m sure that I’ll be overruled soon. The more spacious part is something I could care less about, but the brighter is a nice thing.

I’m going to move one of the hospital bed into Erin’s old room and that will be ML’s room. 2 old people, 2 bedrooms. It makes it easier for them to be put down at night and we can separate them when they fight.

Citibank

Citibank cost me some online savings this week and that’s the reason for my last posting here.  3 times total their “fraud detection” apparatus canceled my charges with Zagg when I was ordering some extra lightning cables. They were $5 off as a daily deal, but Shitibank cancelled all my tries at making this because they suspected fraud. Zagg is a company that I’ve patronized for years.  So is Apple. Yet Shitibank feels that every time I buy online from either of these companies, they sense fraud. Now what I lost was only $20, but this whole thing is pissing me off greatly. I’m thinking of calling them again and see if they can placate me somehow.

Stupid shit.

  • Yesterday we had to have ML transported to the hospital.
  • Yesterday she told us that she had to go to the hospital and it was an emergency.  We called the ambulance.
  • Yesterday she was screaming at the ambulance people because they were asking her questions.
  • Yesterday, at the hospital she was determined to be dehydrated and they rehydrated her.
  • Yesterday Nina and Tori were texting about this and Tori came away with the “fact” that we were going to be investigated for elder abuse.
  • Yesterday Tori told me that CYFD would be here to investigate abuse to Erin because of the “abuse” to ML.
  • Yesterday I received a shitload of BAD INFO because of people texting instead of TALKING.  Talking is good.  Texting blows goats.
  • Yesterday I found out the truth by calling Nina on the phone and TALKNG to her because I freaking HATE texting.  Why?  Because it blows goats.  3 minutes on the phone gave me correct info.
  • Yesterday I started to agree with Carl about technology because TEXTING is a pain in the ass.  I’d actually rather have ass pain than text with anyone.
  • Yesterday was just a weird freaking day made weirder by texting at the end of the day.
  • Yesterday ML told us that she wanted to go to a home again and leave us to our lives.  Yay!  We will make this happen sometime this week.  Soon even.
  • I wonder what today will bring.

Santa Fe’s living wage.

The living wage in Santa Fe has claimed another business.  Village Inn, a nationwide pancake restaurant has left SF claiming the living wage as the main cause of doing so.  Their lease expired at the end of last year and there was no mention of a rent increase in the article, just the living wage law that SF councilors jammed down businesses throats.  I know of at least a dozen of places that closed due to the living wage law and Village Inn is the latest.

Way to go Santa Fe!  You’ve placed another 30-50 people out of work.
