03/08/10: DickeyeFab/ReganSwan is not to be trusted...

Some people are soooo immature... It's almost mind-boggling... I could bad-mouth him but he's doing plenty on his own to ruin his own name/reputations so.. See for yourself.

31/07/10: Bye-Bye hair!

Cut the hair off... Was down to my belt again (well, 4" short of) but it was time to donate... Kat's stylist did the job for free (her contribution to the cause for Kids; plus she's a personal friend so...). Made me look sexy... I guess. Well, as sexy as a fat cripple can look anyhow...

I'll update this with pics when I get around to it.

22/07/10: OMG... No one told me they couldn't make an account...

Holy cow... I never noticed that you couldn't create a new account on my blogging site... (shows how many people actually read this)...

Anyhow; that's fixed. Join up and comment away...

15/05/10: Do you know who your real friends are?

Get sick and dependent, and you learn real fast who your friends are... I used to have so many friends that we'd have to plan around weekends just to deal with all of em. But now that I really can't do anything, people avoid me.

I never had a ton of friends.. but I had some. But in times like this, you really learn who the true ones are...

I asked one friend to swing by for an afternoon-evening sometime... I have a computer I wanted to give him so he could have an HTPC... Obviously I can't get over there, so I tried to talk him into coming here (which he hasn't done but once with the family)... Yet the reply he sent over was "you just don't make a good case for why I should use what little free time I have to come over".

Holy fuc#ing sh!t! And I called this guy a friend...?!? Excuse me for being so inconvenient for you to go out of your time to see someone you knew and would otherwise call a friend for well over a decade... Now I'm sick it seems he doesn't want to do anything with me. And honestly the last few times I saw this person, all they did was bitch about $ anyhow... And they have more of it than I could ever dream... And they keep getting more of it. They've had more than a few estate gifts that I know of, how many more that I don't... Not that I ever wish for someone to die but... I've never had that type of a financial boost at all...

12/04/10: More BoA problems!!!

OMG, it never stops... I'm in the process of moving to a new bank, but that takes time to get everything transfered over. And in the meantime, I would swear Bank of America (unAmerican would be more like it) is trying to screw me over. I have a payment for my bike that 'supposedly' went through FIVE days ago... It's still not there, Honda has nothing and received nothing... BoA is @#$%ing around.

AND, now out of the blue, they say one of my investment accounts 'Requires Action' and has an error. I use their own 'auto-login' link to the external site; works just fine. Yet after 5 years, suddenly my setup requires action... What a load of total shit.. After the Zestimate (which THEY forced me to put in there using their system) failed, and still, to this day, SCREAMS at me to add it back in (but fails because after 3 years of solid good use, it suddenly doesn't believe in the GPS coordinates I guess... Again, I can do direct to their site and it works just fine;)... I have zero trust in ANYTHING they (BoA) do.

DO NOT USE BANK OF AMERICA!!! Worst service, worst reliability, and I've been a customer for over 5 years... Their website doesn't work right most of the time, and is very slow.

06/04/10: Overstock.com losing faith...

Being an avid on-line purchaser, I'm comfortable purchasing stuff and know what good expectations are. Actually, companies like Amazon have continually amazed me, even when their products arrive 5 days late, they always make it worth it.

Overstock.com however has actually really upset me this time. I ordered a pair of 7.5" foam mattresses on the 31st of March... It has been 'Processing' ever since, now April 6th... I called yesterday and they swore it would ship that day since the warehouse had the order since the previous day.

I ordered them over a week ago cause I need them a week from today. Amazon shipped a 55" TV in that much time but Overstock.com is having trouble even getting mattresses into a truck. If I don't see something by the end of today, I'm going to call and cancel (and if they try to say we can't cancel, it's been at the warehouse, then they're going to have to fight with my credit card people as I will cancel the payment and they can kiss my @$$). With what my ex did to my credit, I don't care if they even try to go there...

I've ordered quite a bit from Overstock and this is the first time they've sat on their backsides... It should have been here from what I can see within 1-14 days... It's been 6 and it hasn't even shipped yet... I can get nearly the same mattresses delivered next day for $20 more from a local store...

25/03/10: Still haven't been to work... But got HOT water!

Well, it's been like three weeks now that I haven't made it in for my Thursday work day in the office. Actually, my feet and hands aren't so bad I don't think I could drive today, but they are so bad I'm afraid to stand in the shower... And I stink right now honestly but without Kat here to help keep me from slipping, I'm afraid to shower alone. I knew I forgot to do something last night... Sorry my work friends. Honestly, I'm getting tired of the house itself but at the same time I've been so depressed with doctors, even going outside is a bit disconcerning (cause it's always to another useless doctor). I even canceled my appointment for tonight and told them I'm taking a week off... I was hoping to spend it at work and then at the movies later but... Maybe I'll get a bit better after breakfast and I can get cleaned up then... We'll see...

However; we FINALLY got the new hot water system!!!
