Well I messed up posting on Instagram the other day and said +5.2 LBS - Well, it's only +3.2 LBS this week. I expect that this week I'll be up again as it's Christmas and it's the season to oink out. I changed the dates for this term (term 3) to end at the end of the year. That way the rest of them will be in a normal span of time not starting in the middle of the year. So this term won't have 52 Weeks in it.

There was a stretch of about 7 or 8 months where I was out of my mind crazy. Some people reading this blog might actually remember it. I have schizoaffective disorder and it's extremely well treated with medication. Before that I had no idea I was not right. For most of my life I had ups and downs that where a bit extreme. But in that one span of 7 or 8 months I literally thought I was talking to God. There was also one other thing I thought was real... I thought I had 2 children. The reality is it was actually the story of another person altogether that I had adopted as my reality. It's a bit of a long story and and we will just let it be at - after the meds kicked in I realized what had happened. It was an interesting time to say the least however. After it there was this time I was super Christian once again - like when I was in my 20's. But I got over it. The bad part of it all was I had this doctor who gave me the exact wrong medication, Se...

So here it is - My Christmas movie list. I have on my Netflix a second account just for binge movie watching. I'll add in some movies then let them sit there till it's time to watch them all in one day. Christmas is that next day to do this. I do with they allowed me to have more than one list on my primary account - this would solve some issues to say the least. But they do have the ability to just see TV shows or Movies - so that does help a little. Anyway - if you like, tell me what you plan to watch on Christmas if anything. BTW how do you like my lack of paragraphs?

I've got this ancient tablet you see. I had to mess with it to force it to upgrade to Android 5 from 4. This is as good as I can do on it - can't make it upgrade past that without issues. Anyways it's like 1gb ram and 16gb storage with a 32gb card in it. But this is literally all the apps I run on the thing, so who cares. The cameras on it are no good for anything and I don't know why they bothered - but it was like $60 new out of the box. I does however have 5ghz WiFi and not just the 2.4 (that gets all kinds of interference so I'd rather not use it). I most of the time use it as a note pad or to buy things on Amazon - but since I got Prime I been watching Prime Video on it and it is OK for that. I can't watch on my TV right now - all my ports are in use so can't plug a fire stick or something into it. The idea is to one of these days drop the cable (when the contract is up) and get the fire stick and go with 3 streaming services - Ne...

Click to make picture larger. So I got an update on Windows 10 and the stupidest crap I've ever seen it do happened. I had Chrome and Word open when I shut it off last. Well there they where opening up when I powered up Windows. Well, why in the world do you think I want this to happen? I'm not a Mac user - I do know how to open apps. See it was easy in the past, just power off and it shut everything down (most of the time). But NO we can't have that, we need to "fix things". So I went to the forums and holly crap people don't seem to be happy with this nonsense. The fix for this "fix" is in the Account Settings under Sign-in Options. Scroll down to the bottom and there it is. Click it off - like in the picture - and it SHOULD stop re-opening the apps that you left on when you shut down the PC. I literally have no desire for this to ever happen and from what I'm seeing almost no one wants it to re-open apps. See making all this ex...

Well now. Seems you can't refer jokingly to your own gender on Facebook without getting hit by the bots. A friend got hit the other day for "Hate Speech" by pointing out how it's not OK to discriminate based on race or sexuality. I'm shaking my head. Evidently no one looks at these things if you appeal - it's just another bot. He appealed and they held up the decision although it made literally no sense - being his statement was the opposite of hate speech. Now this is the 3rd hit I've gotten in 4 days by the bots. The other 2 where for "nudity". Well the first one was a link to a movie (IMDB link) and the photo on it was 4 people in bed naked - but nothing is showing - literally all the parts are covered. Still on appeal it was still against community standards. Then the 2nd hit was for nudity as well. Now this photo proves no human is looking at these things. This photo was of a stuffed toy cat. It was the Pink Pusheen the Cat to...

OK I just know B.C. Read in passing as I've been to almost every Moose Jaw concert in like 10 years... But the others are people on my Facebook and YouTube and known them for some time now.

I have this extra rib at the top of my rib cage. Well it causes issues now and then - right now it's doing just that. I have hurt a muscle in my lower neck because of this mutation. It is giving me constant pain the last 4 days and won't give up on it. I'm at a loss as how to fix it. Rubbing it don't help. The tennis ball on the wall trick don't help. Putting the tens machine on it was a terrible mistake and Icy Hot does almost nothing for it. To top this off I've been having a Fibromyalgia flair for the last 3 days and it's not even slowing down for me. I'm literally in hell typing this up at the moment. Well I'm going to edit some stuff on my Google Docs and then go lay in bed for a while. I was going to say something very TMI at this point about the pulled muscle and not being able to do something without pain - but I'll be good.
