Memorial Day = Keith is 41 today

Have not seen this boy/man since Oct 2006. I think of him often and do hope he is doing well. I expect to one day receive a knock on my door with him on the other side. At that time, I hope he is clean and sober. Alcohol effects him in much the same way as a poison. He seeks confrontation and has had the piss beaten out of him in the past. Hoping that is not the case at this time. He has 2 beautiful children that need him but early on he decided someone else should support them. As the single mom who raised him without his father's help, I don't think very highly of that decision.

His children are with their mother at her mother's house. As far as I know, they are being well taken care of. I don't see them for various personal and proximity reasons. Did see Rhiannon a couple of weeks ago when I dropped off the yearly cache of gifts. She's a vivacious and friendly child. Of course, I did have a bounty for her so she accepted my presence very well even tho I haven't seen her since she was around nine months old. She was 4 in January. Braedon is autistic and will be 6 on the 4th of July. I bonded with Braedon so I would say I miss him the most.

Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Keith...........hope you are well & you are missed (but your behavior is NOT missed)

FOOD ADVENTURE IN CRAWLEY,BRIGHTON,PARIS

Sue & James ready to serve you with a smile in Crawley, UK

at Delos

I don't remember what my first selection was but all were delicious

Purchased one of these beautiful confections which, in the USA, would be called a BISMARK

I guess I would have to go to Tulsa, OK for one at Ann's Bakery

http://indietulsa.wordpress.com/2008/03/01/anns-bakery/

"We went to Ann’s for breakfast on Saturday morning. I had a cream-filled bismark, a cinnamon roll and a cream horn. Emily had a glazed doughnut and a cream horn. They tasted heavenly." quoted by a bakery customer

My kind of breakfast (in moderation, of course)

This shot at the hotel made the delicious morsel not so delectable looking.

Eddie Izzard - The Treatment on KCRW

Saturday, March 6, 2010

Patronizing dickheads & other bitches

Random bitch is that 2 weeks ago I downgraded by cable so it does not include IFC anymore. The bitch of that is Eddie Izzard is the MC on the Independent Spirit Award show which aired last night....sigh

Is he not the cutest guy u ever saw approaching 50 w/o such a white smile u need to don sunglasses? Well, there's Brad Pitt also....OK....one of the cutest guys approaching 50.

My main bitch this week is related to the new heatpump installed at my place. Never had one in my life so I did not know what to expect. I suggest, if u r contemplating one, choose a Trane (rated the best). Seems these pieces of shit use outside air as a heat source. I know what ur thinking; "what if it's freezing out there?"..well seems even in 0 degrees F, there is heat in that air. Well the thing is, there's a gizmo on the outside compressor that needs defrosting and that's done by grabbing inside air (from the return near the floor which is cooler air) and blowing it out to the fucking cold/frozen gizmo. That process seems to include blowing thru the house ducts also which is about the stupidest fucking thing I ever heard. Should be some sort of valve that closes to leave the house temp as is and continue directly to the target. I was reading up on that process and found that heat is supposed to be generated back to the inside temp after the cooling of that fucking gizmo.

So when that gizmo is getting its blowjob, cold air is circulating thru the house and happens to blow right in my face since my bed is across from the vent. Oh happy day! Had no idea what that was about when I called the maintenance guyz who, to my dismay, included a guy I cannot stand and have voiced my opinion of him as being as "useless as tits on a bull".

So a duo show up and "dickhead" proceeds to give me a science lesson on the location of hot air (coming from him) congregating near the ceiling=yep, got that; and cold air=down at floor level=yep, got that 2.

Then he has the other guy get out his "temp gun" which measures the temp of air wherever it's pointed giving a digital readout. This goes on with more crap being said by all of us but an answer is not given that I can see. He says he'll get one of the installation guys. So in comes that guy who explains away this issue in 2 sentences. "Dickhead" says he thought I would want to hear the answer from the installer guy and I concur. This "dickhead" ended his inclusion this way and made it known to me that most of the newer units had heatpumps (unsaid was that he knows ALL about these gizmos) which made me wonder why he didn't come up with the answer at the beginning of this visit. Patronizing fuckhead is what he is.

2nd patronizing fuckhead is the installation guy (who is making bookoo bucks installing many units here). I make mention of my need to control (meaning my environment; not just control it but understand its elements). His assumption leads to him saying "well, we're all here; so I guess so." Listen fuckhead; did not want a bunch of ballsacks in my place to begin with. So these heatpumps are supposed to be more energy efficient but will not produce heat as a gas/oil furnace does. So with the transference of cold air from a slab foundation and a heatpump that does not perform as most of it inhabitants are used to, I will live with it and shut my big mouth if my utility bill is less. I have sweatshirts,sweatpants and hats. I have put the temp at 75 and will leave it there until the next meter read. What is unknown is......how will this perform when the temp is 105. Cannot wait for that.

**************************************************************

"Heat pumps got their name because they pump heat into your home in winter and out of your home in summer. Thus, they function like a furnace during the winter and a central air conditioner during the summer. This ability to both heat and cool makes them very economical and efficient home comfort systems." WE SHALL SEE.

In God We Trust

I received an email today from a friend about a poll from NBC. It seems 86% of the voters believe those words should remain in our currency and our lives. A lowly 14% did not. I find it ridiculous that this is even addressed. If only that were our biggest problem today.

Good to know that issue is settled. Can we now move on to the fact that many Americans are either under insured or uninsured, that many children in the US are starving and have nowhere to live, that the Katrina event is very much with us as undone, Haiti is in a disastrous state. AND most of all we have American and ally men and woman dying in the mid east to bring democracy to a mostly uninterested group of humans. If they truly wanted freedom from oppression, they would rally around those trying to educate them. That does not seem to be the case. Eight years in Afghanistan should have been an adequate amount of time to muster the knowledge of independence. They say they want the Americans out of their countries (including Iraq), yet, either they are too stupid to get and obtain the necessary knowledge or they just want to be able to complain about the current occupation of friendly troops.

President Obama was left with a mess in all areas and as much as people are said to be "sick" of that excuse, it is, none-the-less A FACT!

I am not happy with the government's inactions of the past year and do blame the bipartisan road blocks presented by both sides of the aisle in Congress.

Wall Street still rules, all factions collecting their bonuses. Now ain't that special! They have those bills that say "In God We Trust" and we don't.

Thoughts in the Shower will continue

20100130--ur hygienist will gladly check ur nose for stray boogers, if u ask. Trying to stop using the word GOD. Believe there was a Gee-sus roaming around long ago with a following which is not unlike fellas (ie: Mafia) of today; both good and bad gangs/followers of leaders (Jim Jones vs MLK) both good/bad. Their machinations are also chronicled in tabloids and books in English and other languages which are open to interpretation as those writings of long ago. Need to p/u fat elbows and granola. Dentist again; if a hygienist sees a cavity, will it be acknowledged without the doctor coming to verify and charging $40 for that look/see that took 1.5 minutes tops? 60/1.5=40 x $40 = $1600 per hour. Folks, we r in the wrong biz.

Eddie Me Luv........

I Feel So Disconnected.........(sniff,sniff)

Woke up this AM to find that my internet service had been discontinued. Knowing that most issues have to be dealt with, at least, twice, I thought this was a leftover from last month’s problem which caused my internet service to be discontinued. Last month, it seems, my internet service provider changed banks for collecting on-going member premiums. I have had mine taken from my Discover card for 3 years. After many phone calls to various numbers and being on hold, that problem was rectified on 12/28/09 according to Laurie, my ever efficient customer service rep.

Fast forward to today. Once again that horrid sign popped up informing me that I could not go on living using my usual daily habits because I was, once again, disconnected from interacting with the outside world. Arghhh and damn!!!

A big storm passed by last night and I was privy to a beautiful sight as I drove out of my complex. Mingus Mountain was more than dusted with snow and the remaining clouds hung low here and there allowing the peaks to *peek* thru. I was bundled in coat, socks, hat and shoes appropriate for the weather. The hat hid the pillowhead do from last night and off I went to the local office. Blah, blah and yada, yada with the problem to the poor employee, I used their phone to call technical service for help with the problem. Turns out I am a minor felon and the disconnect was due to my pirating ways. Over a month ago I found a chap in England sharing illegal ways of downloading movies. I fell into it; downloaded the 2 programs instructed by this fella and proceeded to follow his explicit directions. I picked *The Blind Side*. Long story short, it downloaded a *torrent” file and that was a far as I got. Well, Warner Bros pays people to look for these files and finds the internet service provider who ALLOWED this copyright infringement. They notify the ISP and, BOOM….exile from the outside world. I feel so dirty!!!

I was to go home, find the file and delete it. Then I had to call the ISP telling them I have complied with the instructions and was read the legalese they are required to pass on. The completion of the tasks happened at noon and I was told I would be back to civilization in 2 to 24 hrs………24HRS…..shyte. Withdrawal has set in and I was forced to play FreeCell and cook something. It is now 4pm and *poop*…nothing yet just this blurb for my blog. So….beware of downloading….Warner Bros is awake/on guard and should be monitoring the net for terrorists. They sure are good at it.

One more thing. The customer service rep at the ISP from the AM did not smirk when I told her it was my fault. I just said "this pirate is going home to get rid of my bounty".
