It's not better....

We have lived here for 25 years 4 months and 12 days.... and for the first time ever I dont want to be here.
someone was in the house for a very few minutes and spoiled 25 years of comfort... My wife is nothing less than devastated about her loss. and I lost the my only link to a couple of gentlemen....

so I guess this is a time thing....
but right this very minute everything sucks!



it has been a fine day so far....

well today someone broke into our house. what a fine day it is.

they took the file server. why they took it I have no idea. all the drives were in the kitchen.... so they took a 9 year old mother board and a 19" full height rack mount case without the top or drive bay....

they they cleaned out the wifes jewelry. 35 years I have been buying it...the diamond ear rings..... I bought a pair several years back.... then the next year bought a much bigger pair....the rubie ear rings were christmas 2 years ago and $600.... all the turquoise is gone... over 30 years of collecting and it is gone.... they pretty much wiped out the wifes hoard.

from me.... they took a major part of my life and family history...

while the police officer was a nice fellow.... nothing will come of this.... insurance is a big who knows.... we have been paying for complete replacement for 30 years.... and this will be the first claim....how do you replace inherited stuff? how do you place a value on your greatgrandfathers anything? how much is a pocket knife that went thru dday and the entire WW2 worth ? how much is a 2 headed dollar coin I got in the 70's worth?

so0 folks this is how my day is going..... I need to rebuild my network to print the tax forms to send off this weekend....I have keep that stupid file server the last 5 years because it worked with the printer.... it took me a couple months to get it going the first time.... heck how knows what else I will remember to look and see if it is gone....

ohh yeah this will be the first time I have ever had a windows computer connected to the internet without a linux firewall.... that cant end well....

so to end...... every neighbor I have was home all day.... and no one noticed someone breaking down the back door.... they destroyed a metal door.... no one noticed someone exiting my house with multiple arm loads of goodies.....

talk about quality of life taking a dump.... I stand in human shit all day then see some human shit wanted my stuff enough to take it.... wow what a fun day....


as the world turns.

I never was a big Poe fan.... but I did like the yearly ritual. I kinda thought it was a sign people do respect some of the ol stuff..

so as this is the first time is 60 years... I wonder if it is the last time....

another halloween over...

I usually complain "This year was really weird" and once again it is the same.... the total numbers were down....750 ish last year to about 475.... what a drop... and the people they were not only fewer... they were much nicer...last year I was upset by the number of little gangsters that ran around .... this year it was not like that.... the 2 times I yelled about running the kids stopped ....in general the people were totally different.... fewer... and one other thing I havent mentioned yet...

this was a better year... this year did not rival the prime years with evil redhead #2.... but evil redhead #1 was here.... the ol' grannie didnt make it this year... the viking chick was mia as well... the young couple with the mega cute kids either didnt come or the kids have changed.... the "you made me wet my pants" young lady didnt make herself known ....im not connecting with any one person to make the special memorys I used to... of all the kids I know in the neighborhood ... I knew 1 child's name....

this year was a hard year for the wife and I...

I dont think Im done thinking or talkin about this... but it is late and I am tired.... good night for now.

Older and just a little bit sharper

today I read an article by Bob Lonsberry ....

it is one of the wake up and smell the world things.... while I doubt it will stick... the idea is a good one... especially for me....

you might wanna read it...

with that I hope this is small step on the way to find the peace and inner serenity I keep chasing....








and it still hurts.....

John C Lincoln hospital failed me last night.....
the very first time I go to a hospital on my own.... and they completely failed me....
I went and wasted 3 hours sitting waiting....

for a 30 second exam by a PA.... not even a doctor....
no second look no nothing....
and the guy felt my expectations of cure were unrealistic.....

this is the third time since friday.... and I guess it will be the last time... the fellow was offended I expected something from him...and yet again the medical professional was doing his hours and nothing else... heck going the extra anything was out of the question....


me thinking John C Lincoln hospital was my last resort to relief was stupid... thinkin they would fix anything was silly of me.....

so now I go off to work with my head throbbing for the 7th of the last 8 days.... all this for a ear ache...

I guess this makes my position of hostile patient permanent ......



















and it happens again.....

After a short 8 years of decent service Qwest in its infinite wisdom decided to discontinue my service.... not me per say but the method I use... Choice Tv and online is no longer an option...

I have been dreading that since I first heard of it.... I spent over an hour on the phone with the sales person... with assurances none of my fears would come true...and now it is official.... Im screwed!



changing to direct TV was a trying event... the installer had dollar signs in his eyes.... he wanted and I quote "50 bones per drop" to connect to the pull string I installed the week before....


so I told him Im not paying him anything!
he asked if I wanted to cancel the install... of course not I did not want to cancel ... I just would not pay for a free install... he could install .. but Im not payin! the poor guy didnt get it... it took several phone calls on his end to get the free install thingie thru....
and the guy was a total hack.... I have a knot of wires that out does any bird nest I have ever seen....


so for the dls modem install I asked what was needed.... I also was VERY insistent a NAT ip would be bad for my life and the sales lady assured me that would not be the case...

needless to say the installer plain and simple was out of his league...this installer was the first person the large house DOG has ever had issues with coming in the house .... that was my first clue.... like the fool I am I wired a new outlet for the modem in my computer room.... but the installer would only install at the present location....unless of course I agreed to pay for a custom wiring....the install took less than 10 minutes... then I looked at the connection .... it isnt all that nice.... latency like a mother.... I can no longer upload to my web host.... they do not allow a nat connection.... DOH...all the things I did not want.... here ya go in my face...

so the poor installer was in over his head and was no real sure what I was ever talking about.... he made 10 or so phone calls trying for help.... and I honest wasnt even mean.... I saw he was no solution so I asked for his bosses phone number....
he calls the boss and gets a number... I let the guy leave.... and call the boss the one he just called at the office.... I get a machine telling me he has left the office for the day.... all in less that 5 minutes...so I call tech support.... I go thru the whole talk to the machine thing.... we are now transferring your call.... and bingo I hit the jackpot... the fun buzz with the would you like to make a call question.....


so I stopped Im eating a little dinner.... writing this.... and wondering if it is time for me to drop this.... if I disconnect qwest the other local ISP is COX.... and the only way COX is going to get money from me is via armed robbery.... paying them for anything is out of the question.... hell they still owe me money....

so now what do I do?

the original call I made to order this stuff was recorded....I guess I need to reference it.... I guess Ill find out how hard it is to get a copy.... wish me luck....

well... I tried....

a special time of year.....

Posted By: lazz @ 25-12-2008 05:56AM
folks here we are again....
and a MERRY CHRISTMAS to all that read this....
this holiday season was nearly as good as ever.... it just didnt feel seasonal... not until I sat here writing this....

this year we cut back on several things....
no fruit cake....
just the boss and I can not eat a 40 pound fruit cake.... 8( that folks is a sad thing...

no kindereggs this year....
I usually buy a couple dozen .... but since it is only me and mommie with 1/2 of kids christmas eve it isnt like we will have a ton of company...

while cutting back on our spending might have helped I dont thing it was econmy worry related.... work for me is ramping up... I when I ask about taking time off and we are too busy I guess that is a good thing....

but Im getting away from the point of this post....
MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone....
I wish the best for all that read this....
and and their families and friends as well...

good luck folks
and as always enjoy
