Test
The girls got me a new keyboard and Windows cannot find any drivers that will make it work :(
Searched online and all I got was a bunch of reviews saying how worthless this keyboard is and it isn't worth the ten dollars they paid for it. Something about the keys not working properly and doing strange things. So, I thought I'd test things out with my blog to see what happens :)
First things first tho. To make the keyboard work I changed it from a USB one to a PS2 one with an adaptor I had laying around gathering dust. As soon as I restarted, viola, the keyboard worked :)
So, time will tell if this thing is going to pass muster or not. Hope the girls kept the receipt because they bought it at Walmart and Walmart is very good at taking things back that do not work properly :)
So far, everything looks good...
Testing:

Yep, all looking good so far.....

Strolling Along
In an earlier post I talked about my friends becoming parents of a lovely baby girl. The thought occurs to me that soon they will be wanting to take the baby outside and for that they will need a stroller, perhaps a Britax B-Ready stroller would be best.
Peppy Parents is a website that has evaluated hundreds of stroller models available, get hands on with so many of them, and then offer the strollers that they think are best that parents could want for value, helpfulness, quality, style, and performance. Some of them are also very cute to be pushing along with your cute little baby.
No matter the size of your cute little bundle of joy or how fancy your tastes are, this website is sure to have a stroller that fits you and your baby.
Whether you simply want to take the baby out for a stroll:
Or you wish to take the baby out for a stroll while jogging:
This website has the stroller that you need!

MGM Channel
While surfing the web the other night I found this wonderful website that was showing HBO live and streaming. Bad part is that everything was in Portuguese, a language I neither speak nor comprehend lol
I went to their home page and started surfing through the various channels they had, mostly sports, and then came across a channel called the MGM channel and everything spoken was in English. It had Portuguese subtitles though.
Imagine my shock when I went back later, thinking movies from MGM, and found two lovely ladies making love in a sauna! Hmmm... I don't think of MGM quite that way. A sex scene now and then surely, but soft porn?
I love wandering around the internet seeing just what is there to be seen. I am not a prude by any means but am always shocked when I find stuff like the MGM channel showing soft porn.
If I can find it I wonder how many youngsters have already found it and are enjoying it immensely.
Term Life
Are you insured? If for some reason you became terminally ill and passed on how would your family cope with the financial burdens of your death? Not pleasant questions or thoughts here, I know, but they are important questions, questions you should ask yourself no matter how young or old you may be.
Many people shy away from term life insurance for many reasons, they don't think they need it (young folks think they shall live forever), they cannot afford it or, in some cases, they feel like their medical history or current conditions will not get them anywhere.
Many insurance carriers, in the hopes of reaching a wider group, are now offering term life insurance with no medical exam. This is perfect for those that worry about their current medical conditions.
Getting an insurance quote from these carriers is simple and quick. Simply fill out the form on the website, name, age, gender, smoking habit, the usual things. Add your email address and hit submit and you are finished.
An experienced licensed agent will contact you to review your quotes, and find out if you qualify by having you answer a few questions. You’ll know immediately if you qualify for this coverage. Simple as can be.
Do not wait until it is too late. Go, get a term life insurance quote and put those awful questions I asked earlier out of your mind and be at peace knowing you are insured.
Body Failure
What a day. Been trying to do all the things I needed to do but have to keep stopping in the middle of things because my stomach hates me today.
Will try to do my game site shift as best I can but have already asked the Mod from the shift after me if she can come in a little early. I hate doing that.
In the meantime I have to wonder how in the hell can one skinny scrawny body like mine have so much waste inside of it?
Ugh!
Black Diamonds
My girls went to the local mall yesterday which is always a joy for them as the mall requires several buses and a lot of time just coming and going. They love to go and look at all the fancy things in the mall and see what they can afford to get on sale. Yesterday, as is usual, they came home with a lot of jewelry, mostly earrings.
As is also usual they didn't bring home any of those items for me. But, that's okay by me I don't care much for the mall or the stuff that is sold there. I prefer to shop online for myself and, if I wanted earrings I would be looking at black diamond earrings for men.
These lovely earrings caught my fancy, the diamonds are 100% genuine and the silver is solid:
Why buy things from the mall that look pretty but never seem to last very long? If you are going to buy jewelry items you should always buy well crafted items that will last for years. This site- So Icy- has a wide variety of jewelry items for both men and ladies, not just earrings but necklaces, bracelets watches and, of course, rings. The site offers free shipping on most orders, a toll free number you can call with questions or concerns and, if you are lucky enough to live in the area, a showroom located in New York City. Go and check out the fine selection and grab some great jewelry at great prices and indulge yourself. Plus, it will save you a trip to your local mall.

Bound To Happen
Last night one of the players got a brilliant idea. Brilliant for him but a nightmare for the Mods and a headache for us Administrators.
He decided, in his moment of brilliance, that one of the Mods needs a new computer. She has had a lot of computer troubles through the years that she has been there and the player thought it a great idea for others to help her get a new computer by donating part of their game winnings to her. Sounds good at first glance, right?
The Mod in question did not think his idea was a good one and she repeatedly asked him to stop putting forth his grand idea in the lobby. He wouldn't let go, like a puppy with a chew toy he persisted. He kept at it until another Mod came in and told him to drop it. He still wouldn't let go so he was chat banned. Now he is an unhappy player.
The problem here lies with the past. Many players have managed to scam others out of their money based on falsehoods and there is no way to tell if the players would now think that they are being scammed by a Mod and her friend. Not good at all.
The other problem is that it is against the rules to beg, directly or indirectly, for site money. If this player is allowed to "beg" for help getting the Mod a new computer then what is to stop other players who are broke from having their friends ask for some help for them. That's not good either.
Ugh. What a headache!
New Arrival
One of my game site friends and fellow Mod has just become a new daddy. He already had a son and now he has a daughter. The young lady came into the world yesterday and is very healthy and is very cute as well.
Friends and family have been there to help the young couple which is always a good thing. Times are tough and babies are not cheap. Don't know what all the family and friends have provided them with but I would think that at some point in time they are going to be needing some bedding for the new arrival and they should be looking at glenna jean baby bedding for their precious little girl.
Glenna Jean has a wide variety of bedding items which include a quilt, a bumper, a fitted sheet, and a crib skirt. Some designs are simple and some are rather wild looking like the polka dotted ones. So I would think that no matter your personal fashion tastes you are bound to find a set that fits that taste.
Nice to see such a wide selection of baby bedding items available. Seems like through the years baby bedding has been very plain and simple which is probably okay for a baby but not really for the parents that want their child's new room to look it's best as well as perhaps downright fancy.
I congratulate the new parents as they are ecstatic about having a girl in the family. Welcome to Life Khloe and may your Life be wonderful and as pleasant as can be.

Halfway There
As far as the writing assignments go I am now halfway through them :) But now I must take a break as I have other concerns to deal with.
I have just sent the girls to Walgreen's for moneypaks. One is for my daughter and her birthday present that she is dying to get started on even though her birthday is thirteen days away. Girls are not patient when it comes to shopping.
She found this website and has been dying to use it for a month now. Personally I was hoping she'd change her mind so that we could get her something more useful but it wasn't to be.
The other moneypak is for me to reinstate my prepaid credit card. I haven't used it in a long time and I am, according t their website, eleven dollars in arrears. Oops.
I want to add money to it to make sure that I can still use the card by adding even more money to it. I found two computer towers that I want to purchase online to replace the two computers that are slow and overheating these days. The towers have a lot more memory than this one does and I like that too.
While I wait for the girls to get home I am going to sit back, drink some coffee and just relax my mind...
EPLI Insurance
EPLI stands for Employment Practices Liability Insurance, coverage that is for businesses and deals with issues such as wrongful termination, discrimination and sexual harassment. These are issues that every business faces and some thing must be done to cover the business from these allegations.
These types of claims can be extremely expensive to defend against, even if the court finds in favor of the employer.
What is also common about these types of claims is that they frequently consist of one person’s word against another’s.
But, what about you and your small company? Sure this epli insurance works wonders for large companies and corporations but what about the little guy?
Tech Insurance has the little guy in mind with their insurance as well. They base things on criteria of the company’s size (in terms of sales),the number of employees,the company’s core business or industry,the company’s claims history,the company’s hiring and firing practices, as well as turnover rates and the company’s written policies and procedures regarding employees.
All of these factors are important for Tech Insurance to know just what coverage suits your business best. Like any other types of insurance there is no need to be paying for things that you specifically do not require. That's just throwing money down the drain and that is bad business.
You can get a free quote by going to their website, calling them at (800) 668-7020 or sending them an email at info@techinsurance.com
Don't get caught without insurance. Protect yourself and your company now.
Another Meeting
We had our second meeting with the Mod Admins and the Support person. It went very well and was only an hour or so this time. More business and less gossip this time lol
Hopefully all of our suggestions were good ones and the owner will take action on them. All we can ask for :)
The girls are almost home so that worry is off my head so I can now concentrate on the things I need to get done before my game site shift starts in 2 and a half hours.
Day is not going according to plan but I shall persevere.
Marine Skin Care
As a man of 61 years of age I have always preferred to wash up with a wash cloth and a bar of plain soap. My wife and daughter on the other hand have always preferred to cleanse themselves with body washes, sometimes fancy ones that give them some pleasant aroma of some sort. Just seems frilly to me, the old-fashioned male.
There are tons of body washes on the market and even some shops that specialize in body cleansing items. Some are just soap disguised as a body wash and some are pretty fancy smelling and some, like this body wash is just what the body needs.
Actually, this website has many types of body washes from Spa Sea Salt Body Wash to Clearwater Shower & Bath Gel. Both will get your body clean and both will leave your skin feeling refreshed.
They have washes for dry skin, rough skin, even dull skin. I'm not sure what dull skin is, exactly, but I'm sure if you have it you do not want it.On this website you can shop by concerns, like skin types, or shop by categories, from body washes to body lotions and fragrances. They even show you what's best for different parts of the body. Nice.
While I will most likely stick to a wash rag and a bar of soap I will send my wife and daughter to check out this site. Easier and a whole lot cheaper than that body wash shop they use at the local mall.
Long Day Ahead
I have only been up and at it for a couple of hours and I already realize this is going to be a long day.
I have tons of writing to do. Time consuming as it is, it also can be enjoyable as well as profitable. Some of it I should have done yesterday but got busy elsewhere and couldn't get to any writing.
Today I have the writing to do, food to fix and eat so my wife doesn't scream at me later, I may have an online meeting this afternoon too. I have not even begun to look at the game site to see what is going on over there.
Ugh. Too much to do and too little time. The only blessing, if it is a blessing, is that my wife and daughter are both gone so I can write in peace.
Wish me luck!
Welding Helmets
Let's face it, things break. Maybe more often than they used to but they break. While most of us live in a disposable world where, if something breaks we throw it away and buy a new one, some things can be repaired and should be fixed even if fixing it means welding the pieces back together or welding a new piece to replace one that broke.
Welding is not a simple process and may not be right for every handyman type of person. But, if you are the handyman type and wish to give it a try, you should.
The most important piece of equipment is, obviously, a welding torch. But the most important safety item you will require is a welding helmet. They may seem unnecessary but which would you prefer, a few dollars spent on a safety helmet or thousands of dollars replacing your eyesight. If your eyes survive the sparks.
Not just your eyes either, those sparks are hazardous to your skin and when you are welding you need to sometime have your eyes close to the job. Sparks on your skin are not going to be pretty or painless.
No matter what job you do as a handyman you must always be thinking safety first and foremost. That's why welders all wear helmets when welding along with the leather aprons and other protective gear.
If you have a welding job to do, Baker's Gas and Welding Supplies has what you are looking for so give their website a browse and get what you need to do the proper job.
Don't just throw broken things away if they can be repaired, fix them!
Internet Society?
Have we become an internet society? You tell me. This came from an ad I was reading earlier today:
PUT YOUR WALLET AWAY! - **NO CASH & NO WEBSITE REQUIRED
"How To Make Money NOW, Even If You're Bankrupt, Broke or Even Homeless..."
You see? According to the people that have this ad homeless people, even bums, not only have access to the internet on a regular basis they also have email addresses so they can sign up for programs like the one advertised.
The computer has us now under it's total control... lol

Prescription Glasses
I, like millions of people, wear prescription glasses. I used to be near-sighted when I was younger but as I aged the vision got worse. Now I am not sure what I have but I require bi-focals to get me through the day in order to see things at a distance clearly as well as to see things up close like when I need to read something.
Getting glasses replaced can be a hassle. Time consuming for sure, many times people must take time away from work or their other daily routines just to get them. But, there is a website where you can get your glasses online, and the process takes only a few minutes. This is great for really busy people.
Basically what you need is to have had an eye exam. Ordering online or at a brick and mortar shop you will always need that prescription to ensure that you receive the correct lenses for your vision problems. Once you have that prescription then you can shop for the style of frames that you need based on your personal style as well as your pocketbook.
Have questions about using their service? Give them a call at 1-888-870-9193. Better yet, just go to the website for Great Eyeglasses and check out the FAQ's and find all the information that you need to make the right choices for you. They really do make it all very easy.
Hiccups
Our game site has the hiccups. Much better than whole site crashes but still annoying to those that are trying to use the site. It certainly isn't any fun for the Mods either, having to explain to players to be patient, or what happened or where the game went that someone was playing. Ugh.
Not sure why the site hiccups like this but I do know the tech people are working hard at tracking down the problems with the software so they can fix things. Unfortunately for those of us moderating the chat the players want everything fixed and they want it fixed yesterday lol. I wish it were all that simple.
In the meantime we wait, patiently, for the next hiccup...
Need Money?
If you are like most of the world you are struggling to get by. Living paycheck to paycheck is never a fun task but it seems to be the norm rather than the exception. So, of course, there are going to be times when the paycheck is needed now not on payday because of some emergency. Emergencies rarely wait until people have money.
If you live in Georgia this is not a big problem, as Georgia residents have a place to go to get car title loans Georgia. You have a vehicle, they have money to loan to you. It's as simple as can be.
There are only 3 steps to qualify for a loan from Turbo Title:
(1) Vehicle needs to have a wholesale value of $2500.00.
(2) Vehicle cannot be over 10 years old.
(3) Loan applicant must be at least 18 years of age.
See? Very simple. The company has been in this business since 1999 so they definitely know what they are doing and have, according to their website, helped thousands of customers get the cash they needed quickly and easily.
Get the cash you need for your emergency by using their services. Don't try to wait until that next paycheck, emergencies do not wait, neither should you.
Still have concerns or unanswered questions? Visit their website or call them at 1-800-513-7960 and put your mind at ease.
Snafu
What a mess. My daughter's cell phone was broken and so she complained to the company, Virgin Mobile, who agreed to send her a new cell phone to replace it. All good there.
She got her new cell phone and was very happy but couldn't activate a new plan yet (it's not a contract phone)because she was broke. No biggie there, happens to us all.
A day or two later she got another cell phone and, following the instructions, sent it back to Virgin Mobile. When she had the money she went to a cell phone shop and put money on her new cell phone so she can use it. The problem starts here.
Virgin Mobile now says she has a "stolen" cell phone and they cannot put her money on that cell phone. Say, what??? She did what she was supposed to do and now they mess up and blame her??
She has spent the better part of one day on the phone with these foolish people and, hopefully, they are beginning to get this mess sorted. I hope so because she is NOT a happy camper. Neither are her parents.
