I Don't Feel Good Mommy

Image
God I wish it was the days when I was at home and Mom and Dad would comfort me when I was sick. I really am not feeling well at all the last few days. I'm in a great deal of pain and it's hard to sit here typing this, but I'm stubborn that way. I'm having an arthritis attack from hell. All my joints are killing me. I also am sick to my tummy at the moment. I was 2 days ago as well, but it passed then came back when I drank some tea. I'm going to stay in my apartment for some time to come, just in case. I'm also dizzy as heck and have a headache from hell. I'm thinking of calling the health line to see what they have to say. I honestly don't want to end up going to the hospital, but it might be a good idea .  

Photos From the Past

Image
My Dad at work as a detective on the Moose Jaw Police Force in the early 1980's Mom spent a lot of time smoking, drinking coffee and talking on the phone in the 1980's, this was a typical day for her. BTW I wish I still had the sugar bowl in this photo. This was the place we lived at the time. It's still there, but it's changed a lot. For one thing all the trees are gone now. At the time this was "River Park" now it's Wokamow. The bridge shown no longer exists and was replaced by a walking bridge. The same park. This was not long after the boardwalk was built. Nice old couple lived here. They hardly spoke to anyone, but when they did they where friendly. Wish the photo was better, low quality film and a low quality camera. This was Moms flowers back in the 1970's. I really miss this yard and the carefree days.  

Designated Delivery (Quick Review)

Image
This is the only booze delivery app in my city (Moose Jaw). There is a guy you can text for booze however as an alternative. You can see the math error, but when I paid for it, the math was correct, so it's all good. The selection is not even close to the other service, but this is less of a time waster as not many use it. I also like that it's paid for on the credit card right away. The prices shown are also after taxes unlike most of the other stores where it's before taxes. No doing math to see if you can afford it. There is the bother of having to sign the app when you get the delivery, I don't like this part and don't know why it's there. Skip the Dishes for example does not make you do this. So they loose a point for making me sign the phone basically. All in all I'm giving the app an 8/10. It's easy and and I am never left wondering if the guy got my text or not .

Being a Nudist in an Apartment Building

Image
For extremely obvious reasons having the desire to not have clothing on (ever) in a building with 70 other people is something that needs addressing. The first thing of note, I'm not the first of my kind in here, nor will I be the last. When they where going over the rules with me they had in the rental agreement "not to be nude in public arias'". This should be obvious and as a life long nudist, it's something I keep in mind always. It's not appropriate and it's not culturally acceptable to be naked in the general public. You can see my blinds in the photo. When I get nude, it's after 6PM and it is with the blinds almost closed, and my lights off. I like to sit in the dark and watch movies or listen to music. The blinds are not quite closed to let in a little light. I'm 30 feet in the air (my window) and you would have to be on the peek of the roof of the building behind my building to see in. To be honest with the blinds open all the way, all you

Crazy J - or Dealing With a Madman

Image
There is a guy in my City that we will call "J". J is batshit crazy. J is the cause of literally all of his own problems. J is a serious jerk and harasses people then claims to be the victim. Basically he's a real piece of work this one. He's also a legend in his own mind. I've known J since he and I where children going to the same school. In this school he claimed to be the victim of bullies. I have to admit, like every school in the 1970's, there where bullies. The reality is however, they went after several others and left J alone. J spent all his free time hiding from imagined strife or hanging out in an isolated part of the school yard. There is only one incident I'm aware ever happened to him. Trust me most of us got much worse. J almost never even spoke to people and it was impossible to get to know him for the most part, and I for one did not know him all that well in the school days - no one did. I encountered him many years later on a mental war

Snarky (But Funny) Facebook Rant

Image
It's bot week on Facebook. I won an appeal today and got this the very next notification. It's like they are looking to punish people to "keep them in line" or whatever the thinking is. It's not a strike BTW, just covered an image they thought would destroy the life of all who viewed it. Being this is 10 years old, only the craziest fucktard is going to go looking to that far back. You know, someone who is totally obsessed and can't seem to just walk away, and feels the need to dig into every post to see if they can find dirt, even if they had seen all your posts 56 times already. The kind of person who has no life at all and spends day after day scanning the same social media over and over because of a deep rooted and profound mental illness. The kind of batshit crazy person who thinks others are crazy and not them, even if the entire world says "dude, you're fucking crazy". So I don't know why the hell it was covered up, no one will see it.

Facebook Gave Me Back My MEME

Image
I and several others won the appeal about the photo Facebook scream at us about. You can see the post about the "warning" we got HERE . It includes the full picture that they thought was misleading content about Corona that could be harmful. And it only took 2 days. I'm still waiting for the appeal from 2019 about spam, where I shared a post that Facebook actually recommended to me. Honest to god, the only valid alternative to Facebook hell is MeWe and it's not used by the majority of people I have on my Facebook. Also MeWe wants you to pay for the service or be bombarded with nags to pay for the service, this is why I left the site. So we sit here on a site that keeps attacking us for no valid reason most of the time and we take their bullshit, just so we can keep in touch with people we care about .  

SLOW INTERNET? NOT REALLY

Image
I was told one time not to use the speed test from my ISP as it was not accurate. Well they told me to use fast.com instead. Well I just did a test on my phone and it was slower by far than usual. So I fired up the PC and tried a speed test with it. The PC being wired. Well it was a constant 200Mbps instead of the 600 I should be getting. I tried several times and 200 each try. I contacted the help line on Twitter and got an express chat link. Well I was on chat in seconds - so express meant it. I had reset the modem by power cycling it. I also reset it remotely with the My Shaw webpage. It did not help. The tech did tests and there where no errors showing up and it seemed as it should be working as normal. Tests showed 200 still, no matter what they did. Well I gave up and then today, two days later, I tried another speed test and it was between 610Mbps and 630Mbps each try. I tried 5 times. Then I looked at a couple other test sites and they gave me the same results. So I have to say

Why You Don't Need to Feel Bad About Bad Interactions

Image
Never ceases to amaze me how people who are obsessed and hate for no valid reason think. Just got a "Looser" comment on a video. Got to wonder about the logic of following everything a person (actually several people) do online for over a decade, literally every day all day long. Also got to wonder about the logic of making hundreds of profiles over that time knowing it's for nothing. But do they know it's for nothing? I mean when it first started I was unmedicated and off the rails emotionally, so it bothered me, but not for more than a few minutes. Now for literally 10 years it's had no reaction at all to me other then the slight pleasure derived from blocking yet another account. I'm figuring that they think it bothers us, because the very existence of us, putting out content, and being friends with each other hurts them on a deep and profound level. For the humor of it, I made fun of the comment on my Instagram. I gave it a bit of thought and you know, I&#

The Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat (1974) a Quick Review

Image
Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat is as irreverent as it's originator. There is more social commentary to be had as in Fritz the Cat. There is also a look at what was thought to be the future of the USA at the time (dew to the racial divide and the moronic desire for a certain sector of white society to have a "land of their own"). It looks at authoritarianism, the failing of communism, and much more. Still a lot of over the top racial, political, and social exaggerations here, as in it's predecessor. It's not as good as the one that spawned it, and it's sure to have been a reach for more money after the success of Fritz the Cat, but I still gave it an 8/10. I will watch this again in the future .  

Quick Review of Fritz the Cat (1972)

Image
Fritz the Cat is a social commentary wrapped up in twisted and inappropriate humor. The socially oblivious, privileged, Fritz thinks he knows it all and is kind of crazy. There are a lot of goings on that are off the wall and yet speak to the social, political, and racial tensions of 1972 life. This is a trigger warning: the film has a LOT of racial stereotypes and they are to say the least personified. There is also, graphic violence, sex and drug use. It also does not pain the ruling class very well at all (and that's the point). No part of life in it's time is left untouched by the comedic hand in this one. I gave this an 8/10 and I have to say I will watch it from time to time just for the fun of it, as it works on just that level as well as on a deeper level. Side note: the movie was the first X rated cartoon in the USA.  

Quick Review of Shortbus (2006)

Image
Shortbus turns out to be a club that is very eclectic. There are different rooms for sex, poetry, conversation, music and so on. The people that end up in the club are what is important. They end up helping each other be less broken. There are some funny scenes, some sexy ones and some emotional scenes. It's basically an art film with a good message and real sex acts toss in. I gave it a 10/10. This was the 5th time I've watched this movie and I notice something new each time. There is a heck of a lot going on in the background .  

COFFEE WITHOUT A MAKER LOL

Image
Many years ago, my Mom's coffee maker broke. Well not willing to do without morning coffee before we went to get her a new maker, she did this: She boiled it on the stove then with a cone I made with a cut up 2L pop bottle and one of her old coffee filters, we poured it into the old coffee bot and she had her fix. LOL. I used to have a percolator for camping. I kind of want one now. It made the strongest coffee. You really got a kickstart to the day.  

FACEBOOK WARNING IS BALDERDASH

Image
Got a warning on Facebook for "Misleading about vaccines". I'll post the MEME that did it below for you to see how stupid that was. The reality of it is OBVIOUS. It is saying that these people say they don't want to live in fear then they act like the world is ending about a bunch of things that are good for humanity. OK 5G is not actually good for humanity, it's not harming anyone, but it's a SCAM to get you to pay way more for a phone and for data plans when you seriously do not need to be streaming in 4K on a phone when you can't tell the difference between it and 1080p - no ones eyes have the resolution to do that on such a small screen. Anyways, here the MEME. Their bots took it way out of context or the right wing snow flakes that scream "free speech" when it's something they want to express, flagged the shit out of it because they had their feelings hurt by the truth. I appealed it. Below is one of my other appeals I sent in, you will

Below Zero (2021) a Quick Review

Image
Below Zero is a action thriller from Spain. It starts with a first day on the job for a by the book cop and a prisoner transfer. Things go wrong and a way of thinking is changed forever. It's not the best trill ride of all times, but it is worth watching. I saw it on Netflix and I have it a 6/10. BTW I swear I've seen this movie before but I know haven't.  

Dirty Grandpa (2016) a Quick Review

Image
Dirty Grandpa is one of the most funny movies I've seen in years. I was in stitches the entire time. Robert De Niro played the best badass dirty grandpa ever. It's kind of cliché, but it is still extremely funny. I don't know how this will play for the young crowd, but for people my age it's going to be good. It's also very formulated, this movie has been done many times in the past, just not this well. I rated this a 9/10. It's currently on Netflix BTW.  

2 Rants in One

Image
  So it took Shaw Help 36 hours to get back to me in a PM and I was just passed on to the chat thing. Well I could have just done chat if that's what I wanted. I'm paying for the 600Mbps internet and seem to only be getting 200Mbps. My PC is wired and it was clocking in at 580Mbps and now it won't go over 200Mbps. Kind of pissy about that. I have done all the things it says to do and don't really want to spend 2 hours on chat on my phone with them trying to get it fixed. I'd obviously have to use my phone as if I used the PC they would drop me when they went to reset the modem or what not. Samsung pushed out an update to my A50 and now it does not know the word "form" and several other words it used to know. The stupid thing is, in the suggestions the word comes up just as you see it above and yet it's underlined in red as misspelled. It also seems to have erased my learned words. Speaking of learned words, it used to be you long tapped the word then s

Chick Fight (2020) A Quick Review

Image
  Well this is a fight club style movie but with actual fights. Women are using the ring to make themselves more confident. There is reference in what is happening to the Rocky Movies BTW. It’s a rather interesting progression of mind and body for the main character. Also the ending is a good one all around. I gave it a 6/10. I saw this one on Prime Video. IMDB LINK

Sound City (2013) A Quick Review

Image
  A documentary about one of the greatest recording studios in North America. The sound quality was outstanding even though the look of the place was like a dive bar. Some of the most popular records ever produced came out of this studio. I gave it a 6/10. I watched it on YouTube Premium, but it's on Prime Video as well. IMDB LINK

Arthur and Merlin (2015) A Quick Review

Image
  This is not your typical telling of this story. It's a rather new age tale. It's a bit slow but it gets there. There is an ancient battle of good and evil and in this case it's literal. No shiny suits of armor, but more of what would have been in the time of the legend. I gave it a 6/10. I watched on YouTube Premium, but it's also on Prime video. IMDB LINK

The Last Boy (2019) A Quick Review

Image
This was made for a young audience, however it works for adults as well. There has been an unexplained disaster that caused wrath like winds that attack and kill humans only and not animals. The movie ends with an opening to another movie being possible. It's very family friendly other than the slight scary death scenes. I gave it a 9/10. I saw it on YouTube Premium, but it's also on Prime video. IMDB LINK
