talking my self off the ledge

So I am nearing the being fully broke era, and thinking about having to get a job soon and hoping mom will be alright without me here and sure she will be.. Others have to get along without someone there 24-7.. Mom is different..She has no balance at all.. she depends on touch to get around and if she isn't touching a wall or furniture she can fall and has fallen.. I'm fine with giving my life to help her.. I'd rather help her than worry about if she has fallen while being away, which I do go to town without her once a week.. I could do this and be away for four hours every day, as long as it was at night and I could be called back if she falls..There are jobs that are flexible like that right??  YEah.. not that I know of.. Absolutely NONE...  So  I have recently been thinking about going and looking for a job... but there is another problem.. My back hurts.. And This I have no idea why.. It's my upper back not the lower back that can be fixed with a back belt that I h...

NEW GARDEN IDEA

As I said two jalepono peppers in the Earthbox.. I had talked about adding a third in there and having it be a ghost pepper or something incredibly hot to cross pollinate with the other two to make them even hotter but.. Seriously I like how hot the peppers were last year and these sound like they will be perfect// Mucho grande sounds pretty good.. I can't remember what kind they were last year, giant something and they were pretty big.. And plenty as well.. This year I am coming up with other ideas to have as a dish.. I love jalapeno poppers but they can be such a pain in the ass to make, but when made correctly they are fantastic treats.. My sister in law made them last laborday and they were fantastic, she made pretty much all the ones I had picked for the day which was something like thirty.. So I had leftovers and had one just about every day through the rest of the month.. I made some myself and I just have no idea what I am doing, so they were fine but no where near as ...

Flat earth as if real...

Image
I love it when someone asks a person if the Earth is flat or round and it takes less than  minute for them to answer such a stupid question...    I keep coming upon questions of this type all over the internet and people whoa re for this and you read or watch videos of the conspiracy theories that the earth is in fact flat..  And for everything I have ever seen the earth has always been round..  It's like being convinced the earth is round through your entire life and then suddenly there are these educated people who are suddenly convinced that the earth is flat and think they can convince the populace that it is flat.. And there are people who are falling for it..  ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!?!?!?!...  Seriously, I read and have watched a few videos about the subject.. I try to give the benefit of the doubt to really try to see and understand how people can fall for this..  And some seem genuinely convinced after hearing the load of bullshit th...

Ted Nugent isn't any different today than he was when he was younger

Image
Ted nugent really isn't any smarter or dumber than he was back when he was a rock star.. In fact... There really is no difference.. He was an idiot back then and he is still an idiot now.. The greatest difference is back then when I was younger anything a rock star said you drooled over.. I drooled over anything these guys said, they all made sense back then.. They could say the most inane stupid thing and it was gospel, the greatest thing anyone ever said.. If Teddy said it and I was a fan (Which I wasn't, I liked two songs by him, cat snatch fever and wango tango.. both with no doubt deep meaning...  ) And really I never paid that close of attention to anything he did or said.. I had bigger fish to fry in that I was a fan of Led Zeppelin and groups like that..  Ted was never that big of a deal to me.. He was to others but not to me.. I only thought he was ok..  And now that he is a big dipshit right wing gun nut I'm actually glad I never got into his odd ass mus...

The romance of the old tv antennae days...

Image
There was a point in time  years ago where I loved the idea of getting programming from a further away location.. We got it via UHF antennae, these here remind me of those from back then,, These are likely digital directional antennas that likely pull a better signal than UHF ever was..  After a few years for our UHF we finally were able to get cable tv and that ended UHF.. In fact we would eventually get rid of all our antennas and join the league of everyone who would have cable tv and eventually I would get Dish, eventually going back to cable tv.. Now the push is on to go back to antennae and I would love to go back to that but we just don't have the signal strength to get into our valley.. The valley isn't that great but if you know how signals carry you know that this valley we live in is actually quite deep and signal killing.. There is this valley as we go all along that is a signal killer all up and down..   Every little town has this issue.. It's why you...

Streaming cable tv

Image
Last year in April we got a letter from our cable tv provider stating that they would be dropping their cable tv service by the first of July and that we had until then to find an alternate service..This would effect about ten people in our little town of four hundred,as mot homes already had a dish of some sort.. I thought well here we go. gonna get us our dish network back.. we had it, or I should say I had it for about ten years, but then decided to go with cable tv as a money saving venture.. And we had cable tv for about five years and now we will have dish again.. But early last year I was already looking at a different delivery system for programming..  Streaming as it was called is called.. And what services were there.. Well this was last year in January and while it wasn't a possibility to be used, I liked the services that were being offered...  My little brother had Sling...   I liked HULU,  in fact the live tv was something I really saw as a grea...

...And the music you wrote

Image
... Compact discs were flawless in sound but that wasn't the reason I bought them.. I liked the convenience of having the whole album on the single disc..  But even that has changed as every damn record I have is now been translated to digital..  I placed every record I have on flash drive and there is a reason for that.. Five years ago, give or take, I started to notice my compact discs that I bought from the record store was deteriorating.. Getting that CHUF CHUFF CHUFF  sound.. They were losing their ability to be played.. ..  I got pissed because the record store I bought these at was no longer in business or had changed to another business format, they were no longer dealing in compact discs and instead selling car stereos... And most people were now finding that if you bought a compact disc it has a shelf life on it..  they have a five to ten yeat lifespan..  WTF???   Tapes never went bad like this medium does.. Records, if they are treated...
