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... http://lonsberry.com/wr itings.cfm?story=2670&go=4 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....

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

it is time to comment....

halloween is over this year... and the way I feel maybe for ever for me..... there were 2 events that are going to be my major memories of this year.... 700 plus kids visited the magic mirror.... 2000 plus folks thru the tunnel ( MANY MANY repletes ) and a 30 somethin fellow that did not speak any english got stuck in the tunnel holding his kids hand.... I had to turn it off so he could get out.... next a 4 year old that also did not speak much if any english dropped his candy into the tunnel causing me to crawl under it to retrieve it for him.... so I shut down the tunnel twice for folks that have no desire to see again.... and as for help..... nope not jack.... which pretty well tells me Im wasting my time... it is too much for me to do alone... and no one wants to help.... equals the end.... the boss ... my wife will cheer if she sees this.... all in all.... halloween night was kinda suckie too.... the grandmother didnt show for the second year in a row.... I hope you are okay ol girl.... the viking chick was a no show too.... the young suit from down the street didnt visit.... 9 pm was the end.... it dried up and stopped in an instant.... last year on a wednesday it ran much later.... of the neighbors only 1 family came by.... the folks I watch for did not show up..... the young couple with the twins didnt show... not a single ... not one child I know showed other than the 8 that live in sight of me... I guess it is time for me to grow up and give up..... what to do? wish me luck.... I do poorly with this sorta thing....

man oh man....

here it is the night before.... and I cant believe it.... it looks ready... the thingie works for the moment... the mirror is in place.... the ghosts are flying at a reduced and more reliable pace... the 2 pumpkins need the clear air hose replaced.... the ol junky brown stuff is still doing the job... all new clear hoses I got last year are breaking already.... making the trash cans modular was the best idea I ever had.... it only took 1/2hour to prepare both of them... and that included replacing the witches severed head with a big ol puppy dog....that and the whole air setup in the yard is pretty cool.. using 3/8 hose to the 2 holding tanks has cut down on sluggish props... so all said and done Im real close to ready.... some of the folks that usually help for halloween are stopping by and talking... there are some health problems.... funny how guys in their late 30's to mid 40's have health troubles... I wish both of you a speedy recovery... nice folks I expected nothing from are offering apology's for not helping.... and the crew that offered are still MIA... go figure..... if I kill one or 2 of them tomorrow will a judge convict me? my wife has banned me from ever doing this again.... she doesnt like all the trouble it takes.... but this year has been rough.... big time... then comes my newest delimna .... we are having a heat wave...IF I setup a king size fogger and chiller bank I could flood the whole hood with knee high fog.... dunno I might try.... then again I might come to my senses and stop all this madness once and for all... that action would make my wife big time happy.... dunno
