EXERCISE FOR RELEASING EMOTIONS

Image
Watch the video then follow the instructions. OK this is what I cam up with using Paint Shop Pro and a number of brushes after listening to the music in Craig's video and with little to no thought put into it, just picked colours and brushes and went at it. It felt actually good and as the music ran on in my mind after it stopped and I started to create, it was like being free to dance by the camp fire as a teen. Really quite a good release of energy. As he says, the outcome is not important, it's the process and allowing myself to just flow out the image was very relaxing.

YOU DON'T LOOK DISABLED - WHY THAT IS WRONG TO ASSUME

Image
It's amazing to me how many times someone says something like "your not disabled, your just fat". The preconception that at over 300 lbs anyone can be 100% able bodied is actually ridiculous in the first place. The other thing is almost all the people I know that have been disabled a long time are of plus size. They got this way after 15 or 20 years of sedentary life. They did not start out this way. For me I was slightly oversized as a kid after I hurt my spine badly and had to take several months of time off of being active. I have had no explanation why the weight never went off after as it should have. I went back to being active in the extreme, yet the weight persisted. I was slightly plus sized up until I had a second back injury that put me into the sedentary category. After that I gained weight very fast and because of depression and anxiety disorder - coupled with the imprinted thought that food fixes your problems, I went up to 498 lbs that I know of. I

I'M IN ITCHY BURNING HELL AND DON'T KNOW WHY

Image
Woke up at about 4:40am and was covered in itchy and sneezing. It's almost 6am now and I'm still the same - itchy and sneezing. Almost always I have no idea what is attacking me like this. You see I have a great deal of problems with chemicals and there are very few cleaning products I can use for example. There is also exactly one deodorant I can use without it bothering my skin. So yeah, I got no idea what it is. At first I thought it was the stuff I ordered, but I've been exposed to it for 20 hours already with no issues and just now have a big problem with something. So I seriously doubt it's the Fabreze or the body wash. Both things I've used for years with no issue. Two apartments back I was hit so hard I had to call 911. I was literally unable to breath properly and was in a hell of a lot of trouble by the time the EMT's got there. I had to get a shot in the ER to get me to breath right again. When I returned to the apartment many hours

HAD AN OUCH MOMENT

Image
Banged my big toe on the right foot a couple months back and it pulled up a bit on the edge. It's been like this since. It hurt for a while when I did it, but not terribly. Should have taken the photo the next day, as the nail was dark blue underneath.

OK TWITTER THAT WAS A BOTHER

Image
So this is twitter on my phone in the app store after update. I go to check my feed and "POOF" it crashes. I have to uninstall it and reinstall the freaking thing. Well I got a Samsung phone and it remembers your passwords. WELL I changed the freaking thing and for some reason it never asked me for the new one on the phone, I just kept using the app - so it never updated on the Samsung save thing. So I look at my password list (it's encrypted on my phone) and it's the OLD one. So I try to guess, 3 strikes and poof it asks if I forgot my password. So I go to the bother of changing the password and logging in and having it text me the magic fucking number to verify I'm either who I am or the guy who killed me to take over my twitter. So cut to hours later on the PC - I click Twitter and instantly it asks me for my new password. Sure the phone does not give 2 fucks if I know my "new" password, but the browser sure as hell does. Good thing I've now up

6 MONTHS OF EATING HEALTHY CRASHED AND BURNED ON WEEK 4

Image
  Well it's gone to hell boys, straight to hell boys. First I lost 5 lbs 2 weeks in a row and 1 before that for a total of 11 and a bit lost. Then came this monstrous week. It starts with me being handed a thing full of assorted candy (the size of my head). You know I'm going to just sit there and eat it until I'm sick - it's just how I am with candy - and I did. Next step I find this big ass 2kg container of pasta and 4 very large containers of pasta sauce. Well I eat it ALL in 2 days. Yes I realize that's like enough to give a family of 4 12 meals. Sigh. Now in walks someone I have not seen in ages as the moved to Saskatoon - he has this bottle (a 26) of this low priced booze that tasted like candy (I'm telling you there had to be 25,000 calories in the bottle). Well we drank half of it that night while talking then he left me the other half. I consumed the other half the next night. Cut to Monday and I get a 1.75L bottle of premixed Caesar to d

MINHAS DISTILLERY PREMIXED CAESAR (5/5)

Image
  This is a product by Minhas Distillery. A Caesar is a very Canadian drink. It consists of Vodka and Clamato Juice (literally tomato juice with clam juice in it). How anyone came up with the idea for that I don't know but it's freaking tasty. There are a small amount of spices added to it as well. This one is flavoured lightly with Dill Pickle taste (not very strong). For the price you get about 4 large tumblers of premixed drink to consume. It's 13.7% alcohol and goes down smooth. Typically you toss a stick of celery in the glass and rim the glass with seasoning salt - but it's not required. I recommend mildly spicy pepper with it. I don't do the salt as I don't tend to like a lot of salt. But if you are having friends over for a cook out or a movie night or even game night, this stuff goes down VERY well. Remember there are about 4 average servings in this (there are about 61.5oz or 1750ml in the bottle). Some would call that 6 or 8 servings but not the p

MINHAS WHISKY FLAVOURED GRAIN SPIRITS (4/5)

Image
  This is a product by Minhas Distillery here in Saskatchewan. It's not actually whisky, it's whisky flavoured. To be honest there is only the taste of caramel in it and it's very sweet. It's candy sweet. I'm rather certain drinking this stuff was like having 2 large pizzas for calories (just going on how sweet it was). I've already tossed the bottle or I'd see if there is a calorie count on it. It's bottled at 43% and goes down smooth. Basically it's a grain spirit with flavour added to it. You can see by the price below, it's not that expensive and for the price I'd recommend it. I'll not be going for it over my standby as I am rather sure it's just too much calories for my desire, but it's nice for you folks who are not trying to lose more weight than your best friend weighs. I'm not very sure if you can get it out of Saskatchewan, but if you can or you live here, give it a try. BTW this was a gift - a nice gift.

NEXT MONTHS EXPENSES (TRYING TO GET OUT DEBT)

Image
Well more carry over on the credit card till next month - but won't be interest as the amount I need to pay will be paid before it's time for interest to start being applied. If I don't get much next month and don't spend much on myself for fun, I will most likely be out of the hole in a few months. I want to get back to the point where I can pay it all off before the end of the month on the same check, not the next months check like I'm doing now. As well would be nice to be able to leave a bit in the bank just in case I need a cab ride - until I get it all taken care off, that won't happen. When my contract with Shaw Cable runs out, I'll be dropping cable for good and switching to Sasktel for internet - then it will be $79 a month instead of $157 a month ($78 saving - so half the price). My phone plan is staying the same - I want the unlimited Data so I can use the phone anywhere and if I switch to a plan with no unlimited I will be billed long distance

YOUTUBE COMMENTS HELD FOR REVIEW BOX IS BROKEN

Image
You will have to click the image to enlarge. Don't know how well that will work on a phone, but a tablet might be fine. Anyways... What the actual hell is abusive about any of these comments. The held for review box is where the bot puts them if it thinks they are "abusive" or could be "abusive". The best thing is it waited till the next day to toss them in there after I'd replied to every last one of them. The hell? It seems to do it in clusters. There will be nothing in the box for a week to 2, then POOF several comments get tossed in there form a recent video. Every last time there was not one thing wrong with them. Well OK literally 1 comment was a bit on the snide side, but it was meant as a joke and did not cross a line that any rational person would think is abuse. So I'm left wondering how many people have been punted off of YouTube for stuff they never did. I do remember one time getting a strike for "copyright music". Well the vide

WEIGHT LOSS YEAR 5 WEEK 2

Image
Well this week went better than I expected. I was expecting about 3 lbs. -5.4 lbs to a weight of 386.4. A loss this term of 6.4 lbs so far and an all time loss of 111.6 lbs.

WEIGHT LOSS YEAR 5 WEEK 1

Image
Lost 1 LB on the first week of the year. Puts me at 391.8lbs (177.7kg). Loss for the term 1.0lbs. All time loss 105.2lbs. Last year was an atrocity with me going up rather a LOT. I'll be trying my best this year to not do so bad. I tell you the first year was so easy and I was not tempted - but now it's a struggle to say the least.  The fact that I'm too disabled to walk much and I can't do any other form of working out makes it a lot harder. 

CURRIED BEAN AND VEGGIES WITH A NICE CUP OF COFFEE

Image
  This is some leftover veggies and beans heated up with a packet of Chocolate Curry spice. I tossed the packet so I can't tell you the brand - I should have taken a photo of it. It was actually quite good. The spice was just right and not overstated. The chocolate set it all off quite well. The garlic in it complemented nicely as well. I rather enjoyed it. A nice cup of Kick Ass Coffee by Kicking Horse to wash it down was a great ending to the meal. Now I'm back to the standard beans and veggies in stewed tomatoes for the rest of the month - can't afford any other stuff to munch on.  MMM Coffee.

CAMINO IN MY COFFEE

Image
I don't do milk so instead of making this like it's supposed to be made, I tossed some in my Coffee. It was actually GREAT in the coffee. Just a hint of chili and bit of a minty taste. It all complements the chocolate flavor quite well. Was given this as a gift, and I rather enjoy it.

SHAW SPEED TEST FREAKED ME OUT

Image
Had a bit of a HUH moment when I tested my speed the other day. I had it coming out at just over 100Mbps and it's supposed to be 300. So I contacted them on Twitter and they send a service guy. He tests it and it's 300. Well then he tells me that their OWN speed test does not work and I should use a different one. Sure enough, I fire it up and my phone hits exactly on 300. that upload speed though... Sigh. We seem to have an issue in all of Canada where they conspire to give us pathetic upload speeds. As well, I don't know who's IP is showing on this, but it's not mine - can't figure out why not.

BIRDS IN SUITS DREAM

Image
I had a dream that I was on a lawn in a park some place. There where these pigeons there and they where eating $1 coins. They had these little pin striped suits on and where just oblivious to all else but the coins. This cat dressed up as death came and took 2 of the birds. The others did not even notice.

END OF THE WORLD DREAM

Image
I had a dream that I was on a ship in the middle of the sea. The sea was red and smelled like death. There where these strange black birds flying in a circle around me. They would call out the names of all the people that I know that passes away. After some time the sea turned white and the sky filled with angles. Then a trumpet started to sound and a man appeared beside me and told me the world was over now.

WELL I FAILED ON THE HEALTHY EATING AND MONEY ISSUES

Image
14" Hand Tossed Brooklyn Pepperoni, Sausage, Bacon, Jalapeno Peppers, Pizza Sauce, Cheese. (BTW that is sriracha in top of the pizza). This is what I got stupid and ordered. I've literally got $42 left on the credit card I can use and still pay it off when I get paid, so there can NOT be any more of this this month. Sigh. However I still have not had any booze, or sugar to speak of other than a small can of Ginger Ale to settle a sick tummy to allow me to do the dang laundry in peace. I don't normally do much sugar so that's not the issue. The issue is the pizza thing, or burgers. I just need to motivate myself and keep on track no matter how much it SUCKS. The booze thing I can take or leave. I do enjoy a good whisky or 3 from time to time, but I can leave it alone as well. I do like the feeling of being drunk as well, but most times I do bother to drink it's just a couple of drams. So it's not a big issue. I need to try very hard next month and sti

HOW TO BOOT FROM YOUR RESTORE USB DEVICE

To make the PC boot from the USB restore device you need to insert it in the USB port then boot the system. At this point you may see something like "press F2 to enter setup" it may also be Del or Return. Normally it is the F2 key. You may have to use another device to google what the key is for your particular computer. You now have the setup menu on and at the bottom there will be Enter Setup. Use the arrow keys to select that and press return. Next slide over to "boot". Use the arrow keys to select "Removable Device" then use the "+" key to move it to the top of the list. At this point you want to use whatever it says at the bottom to save settings (normally it's F9). Then select "yes" and press return. Then the system will continue to boot from the USB device. Remember is you have an external drive hooked up to unplug it. As well after installing windows again you will want to follow the steps again to set "Har

So Your New PC Won't Boot

So your new PC won't boot for some reason. Well if you have an external drive on it, this could be this issue and most likely is. The boot sequence on a PC is normally set to boot from a USB device first during the installation of Windows 10. You are going to want to set that to C drive. Now turn off the power wait a moment then turn it back on. You should see something about press "F2" or "Return" or "Del" to enter setup. If you don't see that, use another device to see what key you need to press. In any event, you want to rapidly press the key (normally its F2) to enter the boot setup. When the boot setup opens there will be a list of devices and Enter Setup . Use the arrow keys and then return to enter setup. Use the arrow keys to move over to "boot". Use the arrow keys to move to "Removable Devices" and press the "-" key to move it to the the bottom of the list. Then use the arrow keys to select Hard Drive an

WINDOWS 10 RECOVERY USB

Image
Search for "Create a recovery drive" and then click it. Admin password may be required. When the tool opens, make sure "Back up system files to the recovery drive" is selected, then select Next. Click USB drive (thumb drive), and then click Next. Click Create. The process will take a rather long time, there are a vast amount of files to copy. You will need a 16GB USB thumb drive. More than likely it will be less than 6GB used but the recommend a 16GB device. P.S. You will want to look up how to enter bios on boot on your computer then copy down the instructions then in bios go to the boot option and follow the instructions for your computer model on how to set the boot option to the USB first. After installing windows you might want to shut it off as the firs boot option if you have an external drive - also you will want to unplug any external drives before trying to boot from the USB thumb drive.
