Joust Away

This has got to be my favorite piece of artwork of all time. Maybe perhaps because I have often found myself jousting at windmills in Life...

Spam

I get a lot of spam email every day as I am certain most folks do. If it isn't telling me how to lose weight, get bigger or improve my love life I do glance at it. Yopu never know, might be something interesting there.

Get Licensed

if you live in North Carolina and need legal assistance with orofessional and occupational licensing then you need to contact a professional business contracts attorney raleigh nc. Your business does not necessarily have to be located in Raleigh but lots of these licesing issues are handled in that city and these lawyers are adept at handling such cases. Ed Gaskins and James Hash represent individuals and businesses before a large number of professional and occupational licensing bodies in North Carolina.

It's your business, so do everything right the first time then enjoy your business without worrying about licensing.

Praying

I am praying that I have made the correct decision here. I just spent my last $600 on this:

The first ultra-quiet oxygen concentrator available at such affordable pricing! Our huge volume means huge savings for you! The Respironics EverFlo Q is a smaller and lighter, ultra-quiet 5-LPM oxygen concentrator! Respironics took the top-selling EverFlo and added special noise-reducing features to make a virtually silent oxygen concentrator. Get all the benefits of an ultra-quiet oxygen concentrator without the big price. It weighs just 31 lbs! The Respironics EverFlo-Q model is much quieter - rated at just 40 db of sound - well below many other oxygen concentrators on the market today. And saves you money by using less electricity than many other 5 lpm oxygen machines. The concentrator includes the "OPI" (Oxygen Purity Indicator), a built-in oxygen analyzer that constantly verifies the oxygen delivered is more than 88% pure - or it sounds an alarm to warn you! Get a premium oxygen concentrator without paying the premium price!. SAFE! The flowmeter is recessed to prevent breakage and easy to set. The Respironics EverFlo-Q oxygen concentrator has a durable compressor with a pressure relief valve and a thermal protection switch to prevent overheating. Low & high pressure alarms are standard. The humidifier platform will work with any style bottle and has a simple velcro closure. Uses just 350 watts of power, saving you money! Easy-rolling wheels and a large handle on top (and just 31 lbs) make it easy to move! No filters to change for at least 2 years.

Warranty 3 Year Limited Warranty from Respironics, Bumper-to-Bumper *HOT SUMMER PRICE - JUST $599! Pray for me, please :) $600 is a lot of money to me. But, well worth it if it keeps me breathing, something that Medi-Cal does not seem to care if I do or not :(

Just Maybe

Maybe if I die the idiotic people at medi-Cal will scratch their heads and think "I guess he really did need that oxygen after all". Looks like Medi-Cal is now saying the blood test I took a couple months ago is not good so they are not going to pay for the oxygen. WTF??? What is the point of having insurance if they are not going to provide you with the essentials you need to keep living???

Windows, Bah!

For some odd reason, starting just a few weeks ago, almost every time I start my computer Windows tells me they want to check the external hard drive for consistencies. Say, what? The external drive is not required to start up nor run the Windows Xp I run so what is the problem?? Yesterday Windows was really ticking me off. First it wanted to check the external drive as I started up and I cancelled that. Then I tried to use some file that is on the external hard drive but XP couldn't find it. WTH?? The Xp tried to tell me the drive was NOT formatted and would I like to format it now? Oh, hell no! I have way too much music and photos and stuff to scrap and start over. I go to My Computer and right click the drive and check properties. Sure enough it shows the drive has nothing, absolutely nothing! Looked like 30 gigs of space shot to hell there and I was not a happy camper. While trying to figure out what to do next I see a little green light showing me that my electronic cigarette is fully charged so i removed it. At least something was going right for the day. Guess what? The moronic Windows XP gave me back my 180 gig external drive as soon as the e-cig was removed. Obviously Windows XP cannot tell the difference between a cigarette and a hard drive. All's well that ends well but still, I gotta wonder about the people that write this software for Microsoft. Maybe they need more Starbucks coffee in their system...
