7 Random Dave Facts

Image
I had a porn blog for over a year, even though I find porn boring as hell. Well it was more of a naked me blog. I closed it because the site started to have a lot of underage content coming up so I got the hell away from it and never went back. I actively dislike having clothing on. There is a time frame from 8am to 5 pm where I have clothing on in case someone shows up at my door. The rest of the time I'm nude in my apartment. I've been to several nude camps and many nude events in the past, but not for at least 20 years. I will most of the time put a shirt on when doing a video just because. My greatest desire is to own a cat. I love cats, and even though I'm mildly allergic to them, I'd give up a lot of my pleasures to be able to have a cat. However I'll most likely never live in a place that allows cats again. I deeply fear ending up in a care home. After visiting my Mom for many months in a care home almost every day, I can tell you I'd much rather be dead

Pusheen the Cat Improved My Life

Image
Ya know a big old hit of espresso in the morning (or just a nice strong coffee), is way better in a Pusheen the Cat mug. Just saying. Pusheen makes everything better. Pusheen is important to me. I'm more than just an average fan, am deeply hocked on everything Pusheen. If I won the lotto, I'd have a tone of merch in no time. There would be an entire room built just for Pusheen stuff. I even have a set of Pusheen pens that I've never used, just take them out and look at them now and then. Everywhere you look in my apartment, you can see a Pusheen. When I'm in pain, sad or lonely, I put on my headphones, listen to music and hold my favorite Pusheen plush. It makes it better in a manner I can't explain, it just helps. When I was in the hospital, the only thing from home I missed was Pusheen. If I ever end up going on a trip some place, she comes with me. To be honest, the strange looking cartoon cat has improved my life dramatically .  

Disabling Samsung Voice Input So It Will Use Google Voice Input Instead

Image
Well, lets just say it, Samsung Voice Input is about as useful as yelling at a cow and hoping it knows what the hell you are saying. The Samsung phones come with Google Voice Input as well, and it's vastly better at understanding you. However, you can't at any point tell it to use just the Google V.I. when using it as a keyboard (voice to text). So here is how to make it go away. Swipe down on your phone. Hit the settings icon in the top right corner (a gear). Hit the search icon (a magnifying glass). Type in voice and scroll to nearly the bottom and hit "App Info - Samsung Voice Input". Then when the app info comes up, in the bottom left corner is "disable", click that and it will turn off the Samsung Voice Input everywhere and leave you with the much better Google Voice Input. Not sure about other phones, but it wakes a world of difference on a Samsung phone. Seriously, even if you speak very slow and clearly, it will often come up with a very wrong word.

When You Don't Know Your Drunk

Image
So last night I got into a bottle of Vodka. I drunk posted on Twitter. For some stupid reason I thought I had started with a full bottle of Vodka, but in reality it was only half full when I got into it. I posted something like "I drank 22 oz of Vodka, why am I not drunk". This was wrong for two reasons. First I started with only around 13 oz of it, and when I got up to go to the bathroom I was informed by my body that I was indeed very drunk. I replied on Twitter to someone and to be honest I have no idea what the literal hell it was supposed to say. The auto-correct got me good and I had not thought to read it over before hitting send. BTW the half bottle of Vodka was from 2 weeks ago and had been sitting on my fridge ever since. This morning there was a bit left but only a skiff at the bottom of the bottle - so I tossed it down the sink. I've got a bag full of bottles and cans near the door that I need to take down and put in the drop box. You will not find me at the b

What else are you doing today other than this challenge? 4. How to you deal with stress in your life? 5. Worst part of your day and best part of your day? 6. A place other than where you live, you would like to live for at least a year? 7. Has failing at something actually made your life better? 8. Are movies better in the theater, or at home? 9. One thing you would love to do if you could? 10. Out of the following list, what one item would you give up for a year? Cell phone (and tablet), TV, Computer? 11. What kind of food would you eat all the time if there was no consequences? 12. If you where to be alone with no internet for a day, what book would you

Music is My Pain Meds

Image
I love music. I listen to about 20 hours of music a week. I love YouTube Music for this. After a couple months it learned what I like and at what time I like to listen to it. It's one of the ways I ease the pain of Chronic illness (chronic pain). It takes my mind of it. Some think it's healing but I am not of the mind it heals anything, it just makes it more barrable.

The Hell is This Thing?

Image
The hell are these things? They keep coming out of 2 spots on my arms. One on each arm. They are rock hard and eventually fall out on their own. The spot turns red, crusts over then in a week or so out comes a little rock hard object. Must be a malfunction in the Bill Gates tracking nono-bots that I got when I had my flu shot .  

Speaking of Gift Cards

Image
I do surveys on a site known to a lot of Canadians that is run by a well known and rather old research group. It took me 2.5 years to get enough points for a $25 gift card. I redeem my points and it tells me "it will take up to 4 weeks for your egfit-card to be emailed to you". Dude... it's electronic, this should be like "it will be there tomorrow" at best, so what is doing to take 4 weeks? Like seriously. It's like a money transfer, it should be a couple minutes at best but can take up to 8 working days. I thought computers where supposed to be fast these days. Man, I want my Amazon credit so I can order some freaking chocolate. Don't stand between a fat person and candy!  

GIVE ME MY DANG GIFT CARD

Image
I've been trying to get my dang gift card I have more than enough points for, for over 2 months. First the link to rewards on the credit card web page just stops working and I can't get my flipping gift card. Skip 2 months ahead and they put a link on the front page and tell you to use "Reward Headquarters" web page to do it. I go there and it tells me I need to link my card to the site and I give it the card and it wants my Postal Code (a 6 digit number). I give it the postal code and it gives an error saying it needs to be 5 digits. Well that's not possible, it's 6 freaking digits. Skip another week and a half ahead and the link in the banner changes to a sub page of R.H. and I can finally make my account and use my points. WRONG. It tells me I am ineligible to redeem my freaking points. Well I get on the phone to them and go threw the billion questions to verify who I am. The woman then has not one clue why I can't redeem my points. Now we are in a 3 wa

Chronic Illness Q&A

Image
1. What have you been diagnosed with? Fibromyalgia, CFS, Heart Failure, Arthritis, Schizoaffective Disorder, Depression Anxiety Disorder. 2. What do you tend to do at night when you can't sleep? I sit in the dark and listen to music with my headphones on. 3. Worst experience/side effect of a medication you've taken? The one medication makes me hungry every waking moment. It’s caused me to double in size since I started it. 4. How has your condition impacted your mental health? It’s taken a toll on me depression wise and made my anxiety way worse. 5. Describe your social life. I really don’t have much of a social life. Most of it is going for coffee with the same 3 friends once a week. Other than that I stay home all the time alone. 6. What is the hardest thing to do when your illness is in a flare? For Fibro, it’s anything. In a bad flair it’s hard to even get to the bathroom. Same with Arthritis, it’s very hard to move around. For all of my ailments, the ability to concentrate

IT WAS THE LAST PAYPHONE IN THE CITY

Image
Photo is from 2008 and this was to the best of my knowledge the last pay phone in the city. They had removed all of them and this one in the Co-op was there for several months before it too was removed. It was $1 to make a phone call, so it was kind of ridiculous to say the least. I often wonder if our age of mobile phones, are there people left out who now can not communicated if needed, because they have no mobile and there are no random pay phones. I do realize they where actually loosing money (or so they say), but is there still a need? This being said, there are programs that give used phones with no sim card in them to homeless people so they can call 911 if needed. They just can't do anything else with it unless there is WiFi free some place .  

3 RANDOM BLURBS FROM MY WEEK

Image
It was warm the last couple days, so I been enjoying the warmth. Went out yesterday and had a great coffee with my friends and enjoyed myself a lot. Also had a fish n chips, that left my tummy not liking me - it was too greasy . Luxury booze, a nice 6.5% IPA beer, and 2 30% "moon shine" flavored drinks, one coffee and one chocolate. The coffee one was a lot nicer. The IPA was delicious. Early morning sky out my window the other day. The moon visible in the sky. Later the clouds thickened and it was not as nice, but as the sun was coming up it did look kind of nice with the moon and all.

GOT SICK, GOT EXTRA MONEY, SPENT A LOT, HAD FANCY FOOD AND DRINK

Image
This is basically 2 boxes of Mac N Cheese with some salsa instead of milk to make the sauce and some hot Italian sausage cut up in it. It was one of the luxury foods I afforded myself this month. It made enough for 4 meals, so there was leftovers. It was of course spice as heck and I had a hell of a tummy ache that day. Strange thing is, it settled my tummy for a while. I was sick with 8 of the Covid-19 symptoms for 3 days. I called the health line on day 2 and they told me to isolate for 48 hours longer than the symptoms persist. So by the time I got my test on day 4 I'd already felt better and had one day left to hide in my apartment. I ordered my stuff in. I also ordered in food to eat (fast food) for 3 days as I was in so much pain I could not stand up to cook a meal. I had zero contact delivery of course. So far I've not been phoned with the results at all, and I have the feeling they want me to log into that cursed system of theirs I'm refusing to finish making an acc

Zulay Moka Pot I Just Got

Image
My shinny new Moka coffee maker. It's made by Zulay. At only $22.99 it was a great buy. Seriously it makes great coffee to say the least. 9/10 rating from me BTW. This is the coffee I used for my first batch with the new maker. OMG it's so yummy. You really don't get much for the $6 you pay for this at the store, but it's just such high quality coffee, it's amazing. Here is the nice cup of coffee I got from it. So rich and a great color. It was so much stronger than any other home made coffee I've ever had. So robust. I enjoyed the experience a lot. Even listening to the maker bubbling away was enjoyable. This is in the top 20 purchases of my life for fun value.  

SASK HEALTH RECORDS ONLINE SIGN-UP IS TOO DIFFICULT

Image
Ya know the Sask online health records thing is very difficult for the average person to get set up I'm 100% sure. The inability to actually get it finished after government office hours is a bother. Seriously, they demand you rely on this for test results and crap and you need 2 sets of ID one with microscopic writing on it you need to read. The ability to set it up on your own should be paramount, being it's VERY hard to get these people on the phone for the magic number you need to get into it. To be honest, it's not just being on hold, the system literally hangs up on you after you been on hold for ages. It's a miracle if you can get them on the phone. Anyone who is not expert level computer user is going to fail at this BTW. Good luck at all if you are using a smart phone to do it BTW. It would be impossible for an older person to even see what they are doing. I almost got locked out because the one number I need on my ID is too small for me to read even with my gl
