Week So Far

Well, On Tuesday, I took Nika to the "zoo" while Jhodie did a job.

On Wednesday AM took us to Caribelle Batik, and we walked "trecked" into the rain forest so my sister could find her mangos and or pears. We got some green pears but no mangos. We missed the session.

Today, Thursday it rained for most of the day. Nika went down by B after 1 and we left for town after 3pm to go town to see if the check had cleared.

Tomorrow we might go to Nevis. We don't know yet.

I will add more tonight, or tomorrow.

Re: 7-4=3

Hi ya, *kiss*

We had a nice black out tonight. Lasted for over 3hours. Just as we steped out of the
house to go walking, the lights came back on. Just like I said 20 mins or so before.

It's 1:17am now and everyone is asleep but me.

I had a check from a side job to cash today, but the bank it was issued from wouldn't
cash it because the 5 looked a little funny. Well, not outright not chash it. They wanted
the person who wrote it up to put their name next to the "mistake". But how would they
know that it was just me doing it?? That occured to me just now. Anyway, all our plans
for the day, never mind the week were shot because of it. The person I got the check from
left the island Friday day. She won't be back for 2 weeks. Then after walking over to my
back and taking off $20 from a $60 balance, and starting to walk away it occured to me to
cash it at my bank, or at least try. Well before I got in line, my sister thought it was
a long line, I asked the inquries desk about cashing the check. If I had the money in my
account they can give me that while the check cleared. But if I didn't have that much
money in my account I will just have to deposit it to my account and wait for it to
clear, in 3 days. Fine. It would be alot sooner than sending and e-mail to the lady and
having her send me a new one by snail mail. The three days start from tomorrow. So my
week off was mostly shot.

Then my sister pointed out that she still had the lights money still on her, so we could
use that to at least do part of around the island tour, and we just take the money out of
the check once it get's cleared. Oh, the teller at my bank just took it, no problems.

So taking my tv in to be fixed has been really delayed, along with our trip to Nevis. It
was suppose to be Wednesday, but now it has been pushed back to Friday, and then is when
we will be getting the last things for Nika's birthday party. I keep forgeting to print
up the invites for it.

Just watched something intresting. TimeCop II. I didn't even know that they did another
one. Ofcourse it's not up to par with the first one with VanDam's movie, I think. I
haven't seen that movie in a while. Anyway, I liked it after everything started to go
"wrong". :) It's just slightly a B movie. Here is what other people had to say about the
movie.
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000AMU79/102-0001351-2732936?v=glance
Here is another link that might tell you abit more of the movie.
http://www.kungfucinema.com/reviews/timecop2.htm

Let's see, what else do I have to say? Oh, I found out from AM that there is a zoo in
town. Well not the big kinda zoo that you would think about when you think the word zoo,
but they have animals. I'm going to take Nika tomorrow when Jhodie is off working. I just
have to remember to get the money from Jhodie before she leaves for work, or we can't go
anywhere. I have $2 in quarters on me.

I didn't get to call AM and tell her about our change in plans to go to Nevis yet. I had
asked her earlyer when we were going to town if she wanted to come to Nevis with us. She
I was suppose to call her and let her know about the tv and the Nevis trip.

Ok, I think that's it. It's almost 2:30am and I have to get my sleep to get up with Nika
tomorrow, but I want to watch at least one ep of Anime before I go to sleep. Last night I
was so tired I fell asleep while trying to watch and ep. Or was that the night before???

On a parting note we had pasta bake tonight. We got the eggplants today in town. We were
on our way to the farmer's market to get some after we saw that the super market didn't
have any, but we didn't get the far to get some. A lady on the side of the street was
selling some so my sister got them from her. She made the sauce from scrach. It's a
1960's recipe for itailan pizza or tomato sauce. Then their's the riatoni pasta to boil,
and the browning of the chicken to turn it up all and cover in cheese to bake. Not bad
ha? :)

After that was when we went out for walk. It was a nice little walk. I have to get some
informaion on the new building going up on the other side of the school and pasture.

Ok... leaving now.

Take care.
Love Jhoy.

===============================================

You have just receaved a copy of and e-mail sent to a very dear friend of mine.

Feel the privilege. :) ...I'll spell check later. Note the time. :) See ya.

Hello....

========================================
Subject -
I need this... I have 4 gigs left from my 80giger

Message -
Tigerdirect.com

250 gig hard drive - discounted until the end of the month.
Item #: THD-250A

thanks.

===========================================

That was the e-mail I sent to Rick tonight when the computer and my bit torrent downloader told me that I was low on space on my sister's laptop. I got back and forth between the laptop and the desktop to download anime. Mostly it's the laptop that does the most downloading.

I went to see how much space I had left on my 80 (76) gig hard drive. I have 4 gigs left. *hanging head* ya.. I kinda filled it up on anime. The one in the e-mail that I sent to Rick to get me is a 250 giger. I saw a 300 gig one for under $100 but it was listed as refurbished. I rather it say openbox. At least that way I don't think it was a damaged peice of hardware that got fixed. Granted, if was a monitor I wouldn't care as much, but we are talking about a hard drive. The part that stores your life, and anime. :)

My online life today, and last night, has mostly been me trying to track down a torrent for "You're Under Arrest- The Movie"... but in my hunt, the second day, I found out that the company that released it, had sent out a cese and desist notice to the bit torrent downloading world. So it's gone. It carried alot of weight since they were shut down until they removed the tracker. They also listed all the others that they also not alowed to share. It's a long list. I'll see if I can find that link and post it. During my hunt I found a few other things. Yesterday when I started this hunt, I found this fan site for the show. It had made up a time line to show you how all the shows and the special and the movie fit together. It's a shame I won't get the last peice. I'm slightly tempted to get the live drama version, but currently I don't have the space. I gess I could burn off the Hentai ones to disk and get back that space. Granted a dvd would be better, but I didn't think far enough ahead to get one. Ohh, I can barrow the one from work for the weekend, I just have to get the disks from town. Those are like $10 each. I might be able to find a cheeper one I think. I should do it that way, I don't really need to have them on the hard drive all the time. I am alittle afraide that I'll damage the dvd disks and they will be gone, but I can use it as a temperary messure until I get my new hard drive. Then it would just be a back up.

The other things that I found was some extra stuff for my Chobits set. AM likes it, so it would be to get them for her before she leaves and I want to see what they are about too. Then I found Tenchi Muyo. So I'm getting that too. That was before the computer starting crying it was out of space. I didn't think that the tracker was working. It was the first time that I came across this site. But it's working fine. I guess it can be found at other sites too. I just didn't think of looking for it until yesterday when I talked to AM about it.

I think that I've stablized the situation. I've cleared over a gig and it seems to be staying that way.

Ok, just had a power spike after a blip of a black out. Lucky me I'm on a laptop and the battry kicked in or I woud be re-writing a much shorter verson of this right now, if at all.

Ok.. off to go link hunting. :)

Time Line for "You're Under Arrest" Check out the rest of the site when you get a chance.

Notice from company to stop sharing and the list.


Night all.

I'm seeing AM tomorrow. I'm going to set up her computer at a friends house that she will be sitting for a week or so.

August 18, 2005

Alot of Good News Really.

Today was good.

I didn't bother with my clock and stayed in bed a bit longer than I should have. I ate breakfast which set me back a few mins.

I did end up going brown like I said, just not in what I thought I was going to wear. I washed out my shirt just to get rid of this odd smell it had, and just laid out my skirt to help some of the rinkles fall out.

I was just tired this morning which is why I got out of bed late. I stayed up and watched the last of You're Under Arrest. It really only had two seasions. the last one said "The End". The only reason I felt disapointed is because when I was looking up the show to show AM some pics of the show, I came across a pic of two of the characters getting married. I was hoping to see that. Oh well.

Got to work in good time thanks to a student that gave me a lift. I kinda thought that it was due to my hair I got the lift. I stood out that much more now. As I got work and saw everyone eating bagels, I thought that I shouldn't have eaten breakfast at home and just bought some when I got here since I have a little extra money since I had three days of work left. Another "Oh well."

Got into a slight huff with E over restarting the floor computers. I had to log her out of the front desk computer to do it, and she said that she didn't like that. I told her that I asked her too, but she just continued to walk away from me. So I loged her out since we were losing time. It didn't help when the computer crashed and restarted as I clicked on the program to restart the computers on the floor.

Then I was board and tired for a few hours. I was starting to get worried about the project in between stages of yawning. She was suppose to contact me around 2pm. I didn't see her until after 4. Just before she showed up I was called out to help with a printer problem which didn't need me really. M fixed it, but I was way laid by a girl and her laptop.

I now take the time to Offially support MS's Anti-spyware. :) I had cleaned out her computer before, but she was convinced that she was infected with something and the computer was now slow. Now this is happening after that nice bug hit the net the other day. I have been so messed up that I've missed most of my line up for tv watching, for two days stright. I haven't even stoped to watch CNN which was shut down by what ever it was. I haven't even read the whole e-mail that my boss sent out about it. I just skipped over it looking for bits of info. It affected unpatched, Win2000 commputers. We survied I'm told because we were doubled firewalled and I thought because our AV was up to date. That was put into question when I was talking with Rick who said he had a AV problem that he had to fix.

Well back to the teacher. She came and showed me what we were now doing. She had decieded after looking over all the tables to use just one. Ok, fine. First I thought that I may not be being that much off the job after all, but I'll have a little something for our tour of the island on my week off. Then we got down to what needed corrected and such and taked a few things out, and I ended up just having to add a few spaces, cap a few words, and make a coloum alined left instead of justified. She also wanted it a bit smaller so I shrunk it down a bit more, and placed it on normal size paper instead of on the other size paper we were using before.

Then I got the good news. One, she liked working with me and think that she might be doing it again in the future. I was happy to hear that she liked how I worked. Then she said that she wanted me to count up how many pages I worked on, and tell her how much it came up to. Since I worked on all those files even though she decided not to use them, she was going to pay me for them. Cool. The longest file was 39 pages. Which for some bizarre reasion it printed out 200 pages. I don't know what happened there. I'm going to count them up tomorrow before I go to the clinic to get my shot.

I got a nice lunch before she came. I wanted to get something from the guy's aunt that I re-did the poster thing for, but I was told that I was suppose to pre-order so she would know how much to make for that day. It's a little limiting, but it cuts down on waste. So I asked him to bring me back a roti and oj when he left for lunch. He left somwhere around 12 I think. I'm sure he got back around 1:30 if not after 2.

Back to the girl and her laptop. I first uninstalled the two anti-spyware software before installing the MS verson. I found one that had like 20 parts to it. After that, and a reboot it was fine, but I checked on the defrag and it was very fragmented. She came to it find it runing. After milling it over, she decided to take it with her instead of leaving it here for the rest of the run.

I then left about 10 past 7. I said good by to M and the girl from the library that she was eating and talking with. Then I headed down to check on that box that I put out for Jhodie. I half didn't expect anything, but I found some stuff. Mostly clouths. Ok. I took more out of me than I thought it would to climb up that hill and steps with those things. They must weight more than I thought. A few books, a stubby flashlight, some blank paper, and the clouths.

Jhodie was impressed by what I brought and a bit surprised at the flash light. She just bought one from one of the students at the last sale she was at.

Oh, just remembered. Bret came by to talk about the shelf he was selling me. We worked out what time and such, and he didn't ask for the money. I had it waiting in my bag for him. A solid $100. $40 of which was his.

Ok...... that's it. :)

Night.

August 17, 2005

Tuesday the 16th of August 2005

Hi Everyone.

I was trapped in my room for most of the time I was back. Granted half of it was my fault.

We went shopping and we got an unexpected guest. Lynn just sent her son over to go fishing with Jhodie without telling Jhodie. So he walked around town with us while shopped. He complained about wall the walking.

We payed on the phone even though we didn't a bill yet, so it was credited to out account. We didn't have time to pay lights. That will wait until another day this week, if not next week. Then we went to IGA. The expensive place, and it lived up to that when we went to check out. About 12 things, and we were 5 cents under $100. I will have to confirm that later since my sister is now asleep.

We then walked across the parting lot to an eatery and waited for my back to feel better. I had a good walking pace today, but my back paid for it. I wasn't really tired until the pain went on for a while.

Oh, before we got food type stuff we were over in the home center and got a hoe, and the insides of a closet with a rod, and looked for a door stop that gets attached to the door for my room and the front door. I get one for my door because the wind keeps slaming it shut.

We walked all the way into town and up to IGA, that was 2k I'm sure, now on our way back our uncle finds us and gives us a ride home. Which my back appreceated, and saves me from waiting in town for Jhodie to come go home and drop off the stuff with the kind and come back with Nika. I got to lay down on the bed for a like 30 mins to help it out, then we went and got Nika from day school. When we got there she was just waking up from nap time.

We caught a good bus that took us all the way the baker on a parrell street. When we got out it was raining a bit, and I found out this place that I was going to try closed down. I don't go into town that much. After the bakery we went to C&C and picked very few things there. Mostly meat, my can of mixed fruit, and something else. Then we headed over to Ram's. Jhodie saw some munch'ems and went to get them to see in the discount cart over had shreaded wheat cerial on sale. She just spent $14 on a box of shreaded wheat in IGA because it was redused down from the $19 or so dollars that it normally costs. The discounted one at Ram's was $3-$4. So she just closed her eyes and just tossed 3 into the cart and walked away. *grin*

Our list was short this time around. So when we came to check out we were $5 or so under $250. Neat.

We got someone to push our stuff over to the taxi stand and Jhodie when to get some more money, get come Q-tips, and get money for other stuff. We got home in good form just to find out that I didn't have any keys. I left the house emipty handed. I asked before I left I asked her if there was anything I needed to bring. So we stood, outside, on the small porch with the grocies during the rain waiting for her to come home. After a while it occured to me that she may have gone to Best Buy to get the last of the shopping done. Before that we thought Nika could get though the window and open the door for us, but by the time she said that she would do it, we realized that she was too big. Now my back is starting to hurt again.

When she showed up it took her a few seconds to realized that were were locked out. I went for the shower instead of my bed to strighten out my back. I was sweety. It rained, but it didn't lower the temp that much, and I wore the wig today. My hair was a mess.

After a while I was in and out of it. I fell asleep and then I couldn't leave my room because I didn't want to put on more then the shirt I was wearing because of how hot it was, but Jhodie's friend was out there. Jhodie went looking for the drill so she could put up her stuff, and then Lynn's kid desided to stay over at his other cousin's house. Which was fine by me.

Later, Jhodie told me that she broke the mayo when she lifted it up. I just dropped from her. Tonight when I was looking for a comb so she could comb my hair before she went to sleep, I dropped and broke one of my perfume bottles next to my foot. I just stood there for a while. I hate cleaning up glass. I don't that I will own glass glasses when I get my own place. I feel that they are just waiting to be broken.

Well my hair is doen, I've watched 3 hours of You're Under Arrest, and I have 3 eps left until it's over.

Last night I had and odd dream that I woke up from felling very disapointed. I dreamed that G came back, and I remembered touching his waist and hold his hand. The whole dream was wacky, but I did what you are suppose to do when you dream. Believe it. Because of that my sister thought that I was mad at being woken up at 9 to get ready for shopping at 10:30.

We walked past the gym that I wanted to join, but it's not finished yet. They sure are taking their time.

Now I have to go look for what I want to wear to work and wash it. I didn't get to go to work today to help the lady with the project because of my back and having to wash my hair, but I will be meeting up with her tomorrow. I may have to come in early the next day to get her stuff done on time.

I'm thinking of wearing brown for my last three days on the job for a while. My vacation starts at the end of my Friday shift.

As much as I've been avoiding them, I will have to start my studies this semester coming. We will start upgrading to MSOffice 2003. I cover office 2000 now, but I'm going to need help with leaning about 2003, and I should get certified in office while I'm at it.

Ok... I have to go now. It's now 1am and I have to find and wash clothes, and maybe watch the last three eps of the show. I'm going to see if there is a sesaion 3, but I don't remember seeing it when I searched the last time around.

I'll spell check and such tomorrow when I'm waiting for the lady to make time to see me.

Good night.

August 16, 2005

An Ok Day.

Hello again.

Trying to get back on the horse.

I tried to sleep as long as I could since I was up late putting Nika to sleep, but I got
up at 10am anyway.

Got a bunch of phone calls today. At the most we normally get one a day, and that is from
Lynn just calling to chat with Jhodie. Today I got two from Jhodie. One to see if I was
up yet, and the next one was to remind me that I was picking up Nika from school at 4. I
hadn't forgotten. Then there was the one from the lady that I'm doing the project for.
I'm thinking of going in tomorrow and helping with it since it is 'officially' and
outside job for me. Besides it turns out that I will be getting paid quite a bit for it,
so I should help as much as I can. Anyway, she called because she was worried about the
size of the tables. I tried to set it so that the width of the tables all fit one page
and just rolled on from there, but she wants the all to be same size no matter how big
the table is for consistency. That is one of the reasons I want to go and see her
tomorrow. I have two days off, but she is suppose to be leaving with a completed project
on Friday. If I was really thinking about it, I would have gone in today. Can't do
anything about that now.

Then there was the landlady that hired Jhodie to clean a house for her every 2 weeks. She
wanted to know where we lived so that she could bring Jhodie her money. She called a
second time when she said no one was answering. I fell asleep and my room is in the back
of the house. I didn't hear anything. Considering the phone wakes me up, I don't know how
I didn't hear her. She had a big car. It could have been an SUV. The sun was blinding me,
so I my eyes weren’t that open. *grin*.

I downloaded some anime porn, but I can't really call it porn, since when I look for it,
it's under Hentai, which means pervert. I tried to find some "happy ones"... but that
isn't easy either. I got to see one today before ever one came home. It's a new and
popular one. Some got downloaded after that, and I think I have 3 left to get. They are
short things. 30 mins if that much.

Right after I got back with Nika, I was sent out to get bread and to bring back Jhodie
three chicken wings for her to eat. It's baked bbq I think. Nika got her own money to buy
what she wanted. She left with just under $3. We got to the store, and I got the bread,
and Nika picked up the expensive corn curls and one of those shinny bag type drinks. She
put them up, then the money and I waited for the lady to say that she didn't have enough
for what she wanted, but she just took the money and bagged it for her. Well.

We went out then walked back in next door to ask if they had any chicken wings. She said
that none of the chicken was done yet. Ok.... then home we go. I walked the other way
home and we crossed the street to see if this store had any salt fish patties. She did,
so I asked for 3 not knowing how much they were going for. I thought maybe 75 cents. It
was a $1 each. No biggie. We walked home.

After licking the oil off my fingers after placing some in a piece of bread, I gave the
last one and half to Jhodie as I coughed from the heat and sting of the pepper. Ouch,
they were hot, but I was able to eat them in the bread with the honey mustard.

Now Nika wants to play Frisbee. So I got dressed again and took her out to the pasture. I
saw big bright lights coming from over there. Ohhh.. They are having a match. Football.
So we watched for a while and Nika cheered the team in white. Then we played some Frisbee
on the street next to the pasture. Then we came back and watched some more football then
we came home.

After that things were normal. Jhodie cooked and talked on line, then sent me to look
after the pot, then we ate, Nika stayed up a bit later than she should have. She got a
story and went to bed. I started watching You're Under Arrest around 11, and around 11:30
Jhodie called it quits and told me to put up what was left of dinner.

The time is now 12:30 and I took time out of watching You're Under Arrest to write my
blog tonight.

Tomorrow is shopping day and I'm going to get a small Windex or one if it's knock offs,
and buy back the rice crackers that I ate off. They were good. :)

Ok, that's it. I don't know when all of this is going to happen, shopping, going to see
the lady, so I have to be asleep by 2am.

See ya.

Hi ya.... My Turn To Pass Something Along.

10 Things Every Single Girl Must Own
By Amy Spencer

Sure, you've got the perfect shade of lipstick and the little black dress... but is that all you need? Hardly.

1. A fabulous photo of yourself
We all have that photo: The one where your smile, hair, and (let's be honest) bod all come together in one sexy little package, whether it's that snapshot from your hike in the Grand Canyon or that cocktail party photo where you're dressed to kill. Post that sucker at eye level on your fridge so your male guest can't help but notice it as he checks out if you have beer (see item #5). What he says: "Is that you?" What he means: "Daa-aamn, girl, you're hotter than I realized!" Keep a digital version handy so you can email it to online suitors or blind dates who want a glimpse of the goods beforehand. And never, ever throw it away—when you're 80-something it'll serve as an instant reminder that back in the day, you were a total dish!
(I have one.... it's on my blog page )

2. A pretty pair of heels
Admit it. You feel like Maria from West Side Story (You feel pretty, oh so pretty…) when you slip on a pair of nice heels. The good news is that these days, you can transform virtually any outfit to make it on-the-town ready by adding heels to a skirt, jeans, cropped khakis, whatever. And no, they don't have to be towering stilettos, even a pair of 1-inch kitten heels will make you stride a little more confidently. (Added bonus: The taller you are, the more cute men you'll be able to see around the room.)
(Heels?? Me?? When I was younger and lighter. Those days may come back again.)

3. An Eminem CD
What's one of the first places a guy peruses when he walks into a woman's home? Her music collection. Good for you if you have an extensive one. But if all he sees is a stack of girl bands (say, the Indigo Girls, the Go-Go's, Joni Mitchell and the Bridget Jones' Diary soundtrack), he's going to panic. Balance out your collection with one CD, any CD, by Eminem and you have no idea how relieved he'll be. It shows you have an open mind and aren't easily offended—and that's music to any man's ears.
(Eminem?? You must be joking. I get their point, but do I have to lie that badly?? I rather he sees the Asian porn stacked next to my bed then think I like Eminem, never mind spent money on it. )

4. A great pickup line... and a way to blow 'em off
In this post-chivalrous period, we can't always depend on guys to initiate contact, so prepare thyself with one simple, non-cheesy icebreaker to lay on that cutie who's making his way to your area of the bar. Our favorite: "Hi. Having fun?" (Though a friend of mine has recently taken to asking well-dressed men, "Hetero, homo or metro?") And in cases when a guy initiates contact and you're not interested, better have a better blow-off than "Ummmm, no... " Our suggestion: "Sorry, I don't think the guy I'm seeing would appreciate it." Sure, it's a lie, but it'll let him down easy—without destroying his ego or making him think you're a jerk.

(A pick up line?.. a pick up line?.. hummm?... Can't say I have one. I did have a nice conversation keeper. Let's see. It was a long time ago. It was back at TOTTS. He actually let me follow him home .... I'll leave it at that.)

5. A six-pack of good bottled beer
A prepared single girl is ready to host and toast at any time. If you want to make a guy-guest feel at home and your girlfriends feel special, skip the mass-produced swill and go for microbrews like the exotically-named Smuttynose Shoals Pale Ale from Portsmouth, New Hampshire or the grandfather of microbrews, Sam Adams Boston Lager.

( Nice tip. Granted I have never spent money on such things, but the right person could be worth it. But this is a preempt act, he would have to make up for it later. I still like the idea but first let me work on getting my own place.)

6. Bathroom reading
What man doesn't appreciate finding interesting reading in his sweetie's bathroom? So instead of tossing out your magazines when you're done reading them, toss them into a basket by the toilet. No need to go overboard with a stack of Sports Illustrated (if you don't follow sports, that would just be weird), but consider Newsweek or even Cosmopolitan (hey, this may be the only time he's a captive audience and can learn a few things). Or, just buy a book that's made for the bathroom, like Schott's Original Miscellany by Ben Schott ($10.17 at amazon.com) so he can learn a few things about shoelace lengths and sign language while he passes the, uh, time.

(I second that motion. Heck I'll even update the stack every 3 months, but I'm not buying beauty mags. They only make you feel ugly. )

7. A business card
After the age of 18, it's no longer cute to scrawl your first name and phone number on a napkin and hand it to a man who wants to call you. So if your job doesn't provide a card or you'd prefer one with your personal email address and phone number on it, then have some made at your local Kinko's. The very budget-bound can get 250 full-color business cards for free from vistaprint.com if you don't mind the company's logo on the backside of the card. Hey, it's better than nothing. A napkin he can lose. A card he'll file and keep.
(Didn't I think of this a few years ago?? I have to make some more.)

8. Earplugs
Ah, there's nothing sweeter than a man who wants to cuddle up with you in bed for a long night's sleep. Unless — SNZZGGHGHRRJJZZZ! — he snores so loudly you can't get any sleep. Prepare thyself for surprise snorers with a pair of earplugs stashed in your nightstand. (2 pairs of Mack's brand self-described "snore-proof" plugs sell for $2.79 at cvs.com.)
(HA!.. He will need his own pair for when I'm asleep. )

9. A straight male friend on your speed-dial
Every girl knows she needs a gay male friend she can go to for fashion advice (a personal Queer Eye for Your Closet). But when it comes to relationship advice, you need another source. While your female friends may have good intentions, if you really want to know if you should call that guy, save the guesswork and go to someone who's been there, done that.
(Gay friend? They don't talk to me any more. Well the one that has my e-mail address anyway. The other one has been long gone. As for a straight male friend, they have their lives which seem to work quite nicely without me. At this point. I think I have one left. I use to have two. But he moved and hasn't gotten back in contact with me yet. I hope this situation changes by the time I have a place of my own.)

10. A condom
Hey ladies, you know the drill by now. If you want to be able to have spontaneous fun of the bodily kind, you have to prepare for it yourself. You can't always count on him to have something in his back pocket—or a 24-hour drugstore on the route home. (Your new mantra: If you don't want it to break, you buy it.)
(of couse. I need a refill.)
Incase you are wondering where I got this stuff, I copied from MSN.

Just a side note.

For those of you who want to have a look at my Calvin and Hobbes' gallery, click on the link above the picture then when you get to the funny page click on any one of the two links that read "View Calvin and Hobbes's Gallery".

Now from there it's all smooth. :)

Something else to say.

I got home to find that I received two comments. I was a bit on the surprised, and thought that I might be in trouble. Like someone from work who was above me didn't like what I was writing. But instead it was from two "people" who bookmarked me and wanted me to know. I question if it's people or a bot lying to me so I could check out their site.

I've commented on other blog pages, and I've left a link to my site. But that is because there was a field for it. I don't think I've ever said "Hi, love your site. Will you please look at mine. LINK"... considering our sites my have nothing in common.

But if it's true, and it's not just bots. Thanks for coming, and bookmarking my site, and feel free to nag me about taking too long to blog and my spelling. :)

I came home to my sister saying that I get to sleep in as much as I want tomorrow. She is going fishing, and Nika is going to day care for the week. :) Cool .:) We got shopping on Tuesday. We aren't in any rush to get anything other than Q-Tips. :)

Ok.. since I'm here.....

Like I said Jhodie had to call the EMS to come pick up the lady. She just didn't expect to fight with them first. They first told her that it wasn't and emergency. She told them that she was shaking, had a fever, and she wasn't answering Jhodie when she talked to her. They said that it wasn't and emergency and they weren't going to come for her.

They told her to give her a cold bath and to elevate her feet. She called Agnes and she called people somewhere after she called the EMS and they also told her no. They then came and got her, and Jhodie had to go with her. Jhodie thinks that she might have been like that for hours before she showed up. After a week back when Jhodie took some days off to clean our house, she found out from Agnes that the other attendants took their vacation or/sick days and they didn't send replacements. She felt bad for not going every day and now she knew that she couldn't count on the "home attendants" to look after the lady.

At this point she thinks that this is it. She isn't going to be coming out of the hospital.

What else did I have to say??...

Well the teacher came and got his cam and the cd with the two movies on it. They didn't come out that great. Well the second one wasn't that great. We think it was the lighting. The first one came out ok. I was more disappointed than he was with the quality. I was just making fuss in my head with the person who did the second session of You're Under Arrest. Which I'm currently looking at. But then, if I had the system that I have now and I was asked, I would have turned them down know what kind of quality I got out of this set up. I need a p4 system with 512 DDRam. BTW if you happen to be upgrading from a p3 1gig system with 2something or more SDram I'll be happy to take it off your hands. Just send it to me care of Ross University. :) Thanks.

Nearing the ending of my day at work, I was feeling good. I played two or so levels of one of my games. Then I was told about something so late, that I left the LRC late tonight. I had posted and update exam list for the LRC on the doors, but I didn't and forgot to post it on the site. So I had to do it before I left because there was going to be two tomorrow, and I had to post it on the site for all those who wanted to know when it was going to finish so they could get in and use a computer.

I can't really go to bed right now. Kinda want to... but I can't. Nika is in there playing the Harry Potter audio book. She is having a hard time going to bed.

Oh... forgot something from earlier. I was slid a $10 for my effort with the digitizing, but he made it sound like it was for delaying my lunch/dinner the day before when I teaching him stuff. I just had fries that day and they were a bit cold by the time I got to them. With the $10 I got Tishon to get me a chicken burger. That took all but a buck from me. Which I left by the mouse by the way. I didn't remember that until I was running up the side of the hill to the bus that the school got to take us home. It's only for people working the midnight shift.

I think that's it.

Off to spell check.

August 14, 2005

I'm Not Even Going To Pretend.

My memory is what is has been for the last 10 years or so of my life. Fragmented.

I'm not even going to pretend that I remember what happened for most of Friday. Oh.. wait... I'm getting an image.

...I got to work about 15 past 11. E didn't work. I guess she was out sick. The day before I cleaned out all the spy and adware she had one here. Thursday I also got the VNC thing to work on XP. I had to open a port. Ok...Friday, or Thursday I installed MS' AntiSpyware software. I'm impressed. It's a lot better than I thought it would be. Oh...Thursday I did a digitizing of something for a teacher from his camera, in the end it was like I gave a small class on how to use MS Movie Maker. I also got to eat fies for that day. Now back to Friday. Another teacher showed up. She wanted help with something. Ron had sent and e-mail to me about it yesterday, but she showed up the next day... I'm sure. Anyway, when she showed up I think I was the only one there, or I thought that I was only one there.... I think you that one. I wrote about in the last blog. .... Well to add to that, today I got and e-mail from my boss saying not to worry about it. First he starts to crush me, then he pats me on my back and tells me not to be sad about it. Odd. Very odd.

Well on Saturday I took Nika for a late walk into town. I think I talked about that too, but I don't think that I said anything about looking for a new wig in town. *hanging my head* This country has no capital. The kinda cheep stuff you don't think twice about in NY and most of the U.S. can't be afforded here. Anyway, I went to three places that had wigs. That last place I shouldn't have gone. It was so sad and disappointing. But I was hopping to find something good in an unexpected place. Anyway, I didn't see the one or the kind I was looking for. But I did kinda take a shine to a short one. And I mean short. It's a flip higher than Tapal's from Enterprise.(I'm sure I spelled her name wrong.)

Well we got back in good time, we got a drink, and I even had time to give her a bath before my sister came back from where ever she was. She left that morning to go to the last ( should be the last ) 7th semester sale. As far as I was concerned she should have been back by the time we left. She had no really money this time around. Well I got a call from her at 4pm tell me that she crawled out of the pool and in no time at all it was 4. I think I did talk about that one .... so you know about taking Nika to B's and such. ...

What else did I say in that last blog???

Ok.. let's continue with today.

I need sleep. Didn't fall asleep until after 3 I think. I think Nika walked over into my room around 2am and Jhodie came and got her... I think. Anyway, Ohh... I did forget something....

Back track to last night...

I said something about projects. Well I got the one done, and I got far with the other one. I'm just having some issues with Excel. After so many letters it won't let you see the rest of the text that is the cell. Then there is the extra space that it places at the end of text in some cells. Then there was the hiccup where parts of some information wasn't exported over the excel sheet, for which I had to go back and run access to copy over that column of information a cell at a time. I'm just happy that there wasn't text for each of the 310 cells.

I just tackled the part where it wasn't wrapping the text after a certain point. It turns out that there is a limit that excel will show in cell. So I had to break up the text by head and spread it across rows.

Ok.... back to this morning. Well it's Sunday, so Jhodie told me when she was leaving for work, and I tired to talk Nika into letting me sleep a bit longer. I got 30 or so mins out of her. Then she wanted to play Frisbee.

Yesterday when her godmother and Jhodie picked her up, they went to IGA, and she got to pick out a Frisbee, and she wanted me to play with her. I didn't want to get out of bed to use the bathroom. So from 10am until 1 or so we played in my room, and I got up to get us a snack. Then I just fell asleep. Tomorrow or Tuesday I'll take her out on the pasture and play real Frisbee with her. Anyway, I got up a little after Jhodie called to ask if I feed her yet. I told her that she didn't ask for anything. I got up, Nika work up at the same time, turned back on the tv and I was the bathroom when Jhodie came home. I got a sandwich and got ready for work. I need to wash my clothes. With that said. I was just about ready to leave when my sister called me to the living room. And there she was holding the arm of the kids that comes by begging for food, every day, and a number of times a day. She found him in the back yard doing something. She just told me to watch him while she got dressed to take him to his house and talk to someone about him. I waited as long as I could before leaving Nika in the house alone. He only lived a street over, so she wasn't going to be gone long and Nika won't do anything.

Well as I got to the top of my street, someone beeped me. It's the teacher that I gave the Movie maker lesion too as I was digitizing this tape. He gave me a ride to school, since he was on his way into school to get his camera that was on my desk.

...

Going for a bit... I promise I'll finish this later tonight.

Wait, I missed one important thing. The sick lady that Jhodie was helping to take care of is in the hospital. She (Jhodie) called the hospital herself on Wednesday when she went in to work. ... I'll tell you more about that when I get back. That is of course more to this story.

Re: 7-4=3

Hello Larry..

*hug*.... I thought my day was going ok until I got an e-mail from my boss.

Yesterday a teacher came by with some work, and I told her that we couldn't get it done
by the time that was mensioned in the e-mail. I waited for her to think, then ask me how
much could be done by then, but she just turned off. I didn't expect her to leave.

Later my boss called me after getting a voice mail from the teacher, and I reminded him
that with one person working per shift over the weekend, we couldn't doing it for her. He
agreed wth me, then said that he was willing to come in and cover the desk so M could go
and do it on her shift. And that he had left a voice mail or e-mail for the teacher
saying so, and to drop the work off at the desk.

Today, I get and e-mail from him saying that I shoudln't have told a customer no, and
that I should have found another way to help her. And that it wasn't my place to tell her
no. I'm also suppose to call her up and say I'm sorry. The only thing that I'm sorry
about is that I didn't try harder to stop her before she left to tell her that we could
get about 10 or so pages done for her over the weekend. But at the time I didn't think
that was something she wanted to hear but I didn't get even get a chance to say it.

I couldn't have asked Ron (boss) anything since he left at 2. I think the only one that
stayed around any length of time was Collin. But right now I can't remember when he left.
People were leaving between 1 and 4 that afternoon. By the time the techer came I'm sure
I was the only one left. That won't help me now. It's not major, and I'm sure that he
would have liked it to have turned out differntly, me too, but for all I know She stayed
for over 4 hour yesterday upstairs and did them herself. At least four hours.

I haven't used that software all semester, so I'm a little fussy on how long it would
really take to scan 30 pages (single sided) But I know it would have taken longer then
the 2 hours I could given to the project.

Well I can't let myself feel too bad about it. I have another project to get done, and
that has brought up it's own problems that I have to work out, or she will miss her dead
line also.

Like I said my day seemed fine. Stayed in bed a bit, hung out with Nika until we went for
a walk into town. Came home had a drink, gave her a bath and got ready for work. My
sister called at 3:59 which is where part of the day started to go wrong. She was suppose
to be walking in the door so I could leave. She wasn't walking in the door. Time flew for
her, so I had to take Nika over to friends house two "blocks" away, and got her something
to eat. I called work to let the other girl know, since she had called earlyer to let me
know that she would be leaving at 4 today. Lucky me I got a bus quickly, and I walked on
to campus when she was walking out. But I had to go help a teacher right away since he
came looking for my help. I left his office after 4:30, so I was going to spend the money
on a juice since I was tired and hot and I thought I deserved it. He ended up buying me
lunch/dinner. Great. I got down here. No problems, I was even able to burn a cd for a
student in the burner that didn't on a cd yesterday. I was good. Ate lunch. Spilled a
little on shirt. Curry. Then I read the e-mail. I didn't feel as bad as I feel now when I
first read it.

Right now, I just want to write my e-mail to you, see if I understand what is going on
with the VNC and this computer, and do two projects. Finishing one and getting very far
in the other one.

Other than that, I've neglected to write my blog for over a week. Ya. This may be the
longest I've going without blogging. At one point I was busy, at another tired and didn't
want to. At another point my sister was using the computer. Another time I didn't want to
again even thought I knew I should.

Mostly I've just been looking forward to going on vactaion. I don't know if I've ever
looked forward to a vaction before. And it not like I'm currenly being run ragged either.
I might be even thinking of changing jobs if I could.

I thought that you might be getting tried of tell me what hurt that week. I thought that
was why you didn't write me so much.

Thursday felt odd for me. It felt like it was saturday. I showed up and everyone was
gone. Rick called 30 mins or so after I got there to see that I was there, since they all
left. I had fun, as much fun as I could, did some work, and got the project that I'm
going to have to leave you for soon.

I don't get space tv here, so I don't see all that you do. I haven't seen Capt. Janeway
for years now. I did catch an ep of Enterprise a few weeks ago by accdent on CityTv. As
for Next Gen and DS9 I see them every day on SpikeTv. Well, every week day. Two eps of
DS9 followed by 3 eps of Next Gen.

Have you see FireFly yet? I think only SciFi Channel has that one. I don't know what is
comeing on this fall. I haven't seen or heard of the line up. I've been watching
StarGate, SG Atlantis, Battlestar and watching anime on the computer. :)

Let me know how the doc thing goes. Oh, can you send me your address again. I just want
to make sure I have it.

*kiss*
Love Jhoy.

August 05, 2005

I think I missed like Two days... right??

her own bed unlike the night before when she was in my bed and I woke up every 3 hours or something like that. I had to move her back unto her side of the bed, to cover her up with a blanket and to use the bathroom.

Anyway, I wasn't planning on staying up late tonight. I had my early shift today. I passed up watching the re-runs from Saturday that I missed of my anime line up on Adult Swim. I was only going to watch two eps of "You're Under Arrest" instead and go to sleep, and be at work on time to start the form things.

I woke up today (Friday) feeling drugged, but I got out of bed, got breakfast, and took a quick shower, but I lost some time somewhere and left about 17 past. At the top of the hour Jhodie called Ron and told him that I was running late with out me asking her. That was nice. Unforeseen, but nice.

I'm going to have to finish this later. It's 5 till 7. Closing time. I want to walk out of here on time, which is like 5 past. Oh... It will be after SG1 and Atlantis and BattleStar. :)

Back... a little late I know.

Time... 11:09pm Saturday night.

Now it's more like 31 past. .. but I can't stay. I'm tried. Maybe tomorrow. I don't have to be at work until 4pm. I'll try and get some more written up then.

See ya.

August 03, 2005

April 27, 2005 - Well it looks that is when it was really published.

Hello. *grin*

I'm ok today. I have to go to the store on my way home to get eggs. The egg guy didn't come in today.

I wore my wing again today. Half of them (students) think that it's my own hair. That whole thing about our hair getting long once you perm it is alive and well. I had to tell Freckles that my hair isn't this long. I was hoping to ware it for the last three weeks of semester. I’ll see.

Di is loving my hair today. I think it’s the streaks of red that has her going. You couldn't see it the pics, but I have red in there.

Anyway, the link below is something that I heard on the news a few days ago if not last night.

The 100 Sexiest Hotels List, and St.Kitts and Nevis made it on the list. Their check list didn't include reputation it seems.

You can read about it here, then they have a link to the site that shows you the winners and links out their website. I was happy and expected to see that hotel that I told you about not that long ago on the list. They don't have a working link for them for some reason.

April 27, 2005

I'm down to 50 mins until I get to go home.

I walked in to my boss’ office because he called for me when I was out of the office thinking that he might have work for me, or most likely had a question that was up my alley. Neither. He forgot that M was coming in today to cover the library desk. I hate doing it, so I was glad I got out of it.

Every time either department has a staff meeting someone from the other side cover's the front desk for them. I'm kinda sure that covering for us is a bit harder, but they just changed there system, and I don't want to mess anything up, and since M covers most of the time, she knows how to do stuff over there better than me.

Anyway, I think that I may have to get a wig sooner than later. This one had too many loose hairs falling out. Also, I may be buying a cheep router from a student that only does wired because the wireless part broke.

Rick thought that the one I brought in for him to fix was one that I going to use, so he didn't order the other one that I told him about. After I told him no today, he told me that there is a girl with a cheep router who’s wireless part doesn't work, hence the cheep price. I told him to get me her name. But I think that she may already have sold it by now. It's like 2 and half weeks before she leaves the island. I hope she still has it. I really tired of having to turn the modem off and on again and disconnecting one computer so the other computer can connect to the net, then plugging it back into the switch so I can still get to the desktop to watch the anime I have there.

Then there is still the issue of paying my uncle back for breaking his router. *ouch*

Ok... going. It's 30 till now. Going to spell check, play a few levels of something then pack up and go buy some eggs. :)

Oh, I got around to posting the wallpaper for my club today. :) I wasn't feeling well at all yesterday or I would have done them then. I was in bed, in pain, and asleep for most of the day. "modern medicine" stinks. Not as bad as old world medicine, but it looks I might be given morphine for headaches and body aches if this keeps up.

Ok... Now I'm leaving.

August 02, 2005

Monday the 1st, August 2004

My sister made me make oatmeal for breakfast.

I wanted for once to sleep late, but it wasn't going to happen. It's 12:23am (tuesday morning) and I'm still awake. I have yet to sneak a nap. I've been out twice with Nika. Once to play football with her, and next to go to the store on a holiday after my sister got back from work.

She had to do extra because it was a holiday and the other people were off. They didn't go by on the weekend, because it was the weekend and then they still don't show up today because it's a holiday, and tomorrow is a holiday also, so don't expect to see them there tomorrow either. For Crying Out Loud! What kind of care is that?!?! My sister couldn't touch anyone when she got home. She called me with the cell phone the lady gave her last week to tell me to clear the washing machine so when she got home her stuff could go right in. And they did, and she went right into the shower.

In the mean time before she come home I was left to entertain Nika. For the most part, she laid on the bed next to me and kicked my shoulder. It wasn't so bad. We danced to a few songs, we got dressed, she took a shower, (she can do that, now that we have a hose attachement with the water heater.) then we went to the pasture to play foot ball. Normaly I say no, but I wouldn't gain anything by staying home and it wouldn't be fair to Nika, and no was out there to see me make a fool of myself so I said we would go, and we did. Nika stopped far sooner than I thought she would. She fell, and when she felt better she wanted to go home. I didn't ask her if she wanted to. I asked her if she wanted to play some more incase you think I'm letting her wimp-out.

She wanted to go home by herself while I stayed here and played. I told her no way, and twice she came up with something in her head to get around it, then she said that she needed me to open the gate. So I got to walk behind her. Since she wanted to walk home alone, I gave he keys and I was like 40 or so paces behind her. As she got to the road I told her to check both ways. She stood by the cross walk, looked both ways, and stayed there since cars were coming. The cars stopped and she walked her self across. They must have thought something until they saw me standing on the other side watching her. One guy smiled at me. I walked along my side of the street until she turned down our street and waited outside the gate for me. I walked down and opened it up for, and she found the key for the door all by herself, and opened the door. I didn't show her. She said that Jhodie did. Good for her.

We thought that one of her new teeth were coming up even thought it was replacing the only one that has come out so far. So we danice to the chipmunks "All I want for christmas" song. Then she remembered the Shrek christmas song, so we played that afterwards. Then I thought that she was going to go down for a nap when I play the first ep of "Honey and Clover". I haven't been able to get any others yet, but I like it. Nika likes the start of the first one. They have dancing and moving food at the start.

My sister said that I could have have the wig since I have more of a reasion. An office job. :) So I won't shock this guy that looked at me every time I walked by last night. If I didn't know better, he "phyically" likes me more now. That would be slightly sad, it's nothing that I don't already know. I almost flerted last night I would have tired more if I was stuck helping the girl. Mostly we both decieded what to use, and I made it. In the end we did about 15 or so, and two got damaged when they were being saved. I think I just too much open. The computer isn't that new.

What was I saying??.. Well my sister came back, had her shower, put her cloths to wash, and Nika and I watched a few eps from "You're Under Arrest". My sister was there for one of them, then they told me to go take a shower. I did, and washed my hair. Maybe my sister will get around to gressing it for me this time.

Then in another attempt to tire out Nika, we were sent a few blocks to get some stuff, and a corn curls for Nika. My sister was sure that the store was open even thought most of the island had shut down. Well she was wrong. The store was closed. We ended up going to a smaller store just down the street from that store. It was the store of the mother of a lady that use to be my teacher back when I went to S.D.A. School. In fact she was there. We said, hi, and I did some small talk before I asked her for the stuff I was sent to get. One of the items is in question by my sister, and another she didn't have. I got a candy bar that I didn't remember until just now when I sister found it in the bag. I don't nomrmally eat candy bars, but I felt like buying it. It's too sweet for me to eat. I had to wash my mouth out with water after two bites.

Well the desktop is up and going, but I'm going to turn on the laptop in a few mins to watch a few more eps of "You're Under Arrest" before I go to sleep. I can't really stay up late since Jhodie now knows what she is dealing with and has to go in early to work.

We didn't watch that much tv, so the night just slid by. We watch PBS for two hours, jumped around, watched the end of SG1 Re-run back when they didn't have Daniel.

Ok.. I have go now. My sister wants to use the net. Oh, for anyone from my wallpaper group. I have the set for this month, and I'll try and post them tomorrow.

See ya.

PS... spell checking and such tomorrow. :)
