Christmas Time

It looked like Christmas was going to be a little on the bleak side this year. Money that had been coming in didn't for December. Ugh. My wife and I agreed, pay the bills first then worry about the gift part. there is only 3 of us to worry about anyway and all of us are adults, although I was pretty sure the twenty-one year old would be sorely disappointed. Thanks to this blog and a few PTC sites I use daily, I managed to make up the money for the months bills with a few dollars to spare. My wife's money did arrive after all and with me paying the bills that were left things look much brighter. The girls are going shopping tomorrow and will, I'm certain, have way too much fun and spend way too much money lol For me, I am happy. I got a roof over my head, food for the body, heat and power and internet. I am all set :) I do need to do some shopping though and I will try to get that done ASAP since I do it all online...

Laboratory Ovens

When I worked at the college we had a variety of labs for the students to work in, from anatomy and biology to chemistry and physics. Too intellectual for this custodian's brain cells but I did clean those labs and always was looking around at the equipment they all used and the projects people were working on. I give credit where credit is due, most of those students were very smart people and I can only hope that, once they finished college, they went on to be great scientific minds. The one thing I noticed is that all of those different labs had one piece of equipment in common, they all used some form of laboratory ovens. I have no doubt that these ovens were required, I suppose that lots of lab creations need to be cooked in some fashion or another so you need an oven or, in some cases, a hot plate. Always made me chuckle to find the hot plates sitting on a counter with a teacher's coffee cup still sitting there. Guess lab work isn't the only thing in a lab that needs heat! I applaud anyone, student or teacher or even an individual that does lab work. I recall that once a ventriloquist created an artificial heart that worked so you never truly know where something wonderful is going to be created. Maybe one day someone just being creative at home will find a cure for cancer or even the common cold. That would be fantastic! If you like to dabble in laboratory work, you need an oven, so please go check out the fine ovens and hotplates and furnaces. Who knows, maybe the next great creator will be you.

Part Of The Job

We have new Mods on the game site and they are learning some things the hard way. They are doing a great job though and the other Mods are quick to relate that to them which is always nice. One of the things Mods seem to always learn the hard way is the lack of friendship all of a sudden. Players they normally have been chatty with suddenly seem cold and distant. Part of the job. When you are just a regular player like them it's all fun and good times. Once you become a Mod tho, the fun and games stops because they realize that now you will enforce the chat rules and boot them. It is hard at times to boot someone you like or are buddies with. Sometimes the players make it easy, like when I was still a fairly new Mod. One of the players on my friends list was skirting the rules line when another player warned her to be careful because she may get booted. Her reply was that it wouldn't happen because she and the Mod were friends. That's when I booted her for 3 hours. Friends or not, the rules must be followed by all and the Mods must enforce those rules. Part of the job :)

WHY??

Cell phone users are a strange breed... If a man came to the door saying he was from some marketing company and he wanted to have access to the hard drive on your computer you would probably slam the door in his face mumbling "What nerve!" Same guy advertises on the internet that he wants to access your cell phone and you jump and holler "Hey! There's an app for that!" with great excitement and enthusiasm. Like I said, strange breed indeed...

Trick Or Treat

Amazing, simply amazing... My daughter who lives in some sort of fantasy world of high fashion and wealth decided that, even though she has reached the age of twenty-one, it would be perfectly alright to go out on Halloween and go trick or treating. Amazingly she came back with candy. Guess the people she went to visit either didn't care she was a grown up or they felt sorry for the fact that a grown up was knocking on their door looking for candy. Sigh...will she ever grow up???
