COPD

I have COPD which is Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It causes me little pain but lots of anguish on a daily basis. I think it needs to be changed to something more realistic. I want to change it to CUPD, cough up phlegm daily or maybe eve CUPADL cough up phlegm all day long. Either of those works for me because both are true. Wherever I go there is a trashcan nearby as I never know when I am going to, as my wife puts it, cough up a lung. I rather liken it more to coughing up a hairball like cats do. Sometimes things get stuck in my throat and they don't seem to care that I am coughing like a mad man trying to get it up and out of there. Just writing this short blog post I had to stop and cough up a bunch of phlegm. Most days I wonder how in the world this skinny body of mine could hold such a large amount of snot. Ugh!

Premier Mounts

The holidays have come and gone and somewhere, maybe your house, there is a flat screen television or some fancy speakers sitting on the floor or propped up by the box they came in while you wonder where you are going to put it. You cannot enjoy such things in this manner, you need a better solution and that solution should be a premier mount. Why a Premier Mount? Because they work with major display manufacturers to develop and support new products so that you get a mount that will do the right job for your new gadgets. They have some real fancy mounts there too, like mounts for projection devices and mounts that will rotate, yes rotate, your flat screen sets so that no matter where you decide to sit you can get the best view of the set. This would come in handy at my house as my daughter has the set to her advantage and when I sit in my easy chair all the people on the screen look like stick figures. That's no way to enjoy a show. Don't just let your new gadgets sit around waiting for "one of these days" when you can get to solving the mount problem. Visit the website and find the mount you bneed now and start enjoying the best of your new gadgets.

Simple Days

I wake up and cough so I know I am alive :-P I get up and start the day with the cough, a cigarette and coffee. I check my game site mails then my emails, hoping there is nothing serious going on. Once that is out of the way I collect the game items on Facebook for myself, my wife and my daughter. I do this while looking at ads on the PTC sites that I am a member of, making my pennies here and there :) I have started the new year off with a couple of new PTC sites that have arrived on the scene and am hoping they will not disappear before I can make the cashout.I also am doing the click grid games on these sites in the search for even more cents. These are the new PTC sites, just in case you'd like to give them a try along with me :)

Hope all of you are having a great start to your new year :)

Happy Females

I survived another Christmas :) Hope everyone got lots of goodies and is in good health. I got my two ladies something that they wanted for Christmas so I am Da Man lol I got my lovely wife the DVD of Game of Thrones which she has been wanting for a while now. She really likes that show and she drools over one of the actors in it so when she saw what her gift was she was ecstatic :) I got my daughter this set:

When she opened the box and started clearing away the Styrofoam protection and saw the doll box she looked up and said "Seriously?". When I said, "Yes, seriously" she took the doll set out of the box and just stared at it. In all the years she has been with me I have never seen her speechless until then lol So, Christmas has come and gone, now onward to survive New Years :) Stay safe, people!

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 :)
