10 YEARS LATER


First thing I notice is I had actual hair then LOL. I started cutting it short a few years ago and have kept it that way. Also seem to not have shaved that often - dang I look scruffy. Then there is the fact I was almost 500 lbs in the first photo and now I've lost 123.4 lbs - was not going to mention how much I lost until I realized what the number was and got a kick out of it. As well Mom was alive - not in great shape but alive.

 To be honest I used to have sitting having coffee with Mom as she had CTV news channel on every waking moment and I found it annoying. But what I would not give to have one more afternoon of drinking coffee and talking with her.

 The weight I'm well rid of. I could hardly walk at that time after all. Now I for the most part can walk a bit. 4 or 6 blocks anyway. My knees would kill me just going across the street to get something from the store. Now the knees only kill me if I need to do stairs.

 The fibro is the same. I had a span of several years where the pain was very low, but now I am back to having longer flairs and very much more painful flairs. I am just glad that I don't have flairs that last for months like some people do. I literally can't imagine being in terrible pain for that long. But I can handle the pain better now it seems, so there is that as a blessing.

 One last difference I'll mention. My relatives would actually talk to me if they saw me in the store or on the street. Now they literally look away instead. The moment Mom died, I seem to have become dead to them. Only one of them ever contacts me and that is with a Christmas letter. I also send her one. Come to think about it, I will not have fun with this years letter - I will have to tell her my brother is dead.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

Image
 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.

AI Image Generator Is Not So Intelligent

Image
Images created with Deep Dream Generator , and are free to use.   Asked for "a child walking into the sunset with the ghost of his grandfather." Got this instead. Asked for "a grandmother holding a baby in an old kitchen while a cat sits on a window that is streaming sunlight." This one actually worked, "a mother and son on a park bench eating an apple."

A Comment That Just Made Me Wonder About The Person

Image
I normally go out of my way not to make a deal out of comments but I'll do it this time. Please don't go looking for the comment either, leave the person alone please. So when you do a review of a movie, or on a trailer for a movie, you put the year it was released in brackets after the name, so people no it from another movie of the same or similar name. This is standard practice. How someone could be on the internet for over a week and not have noticed this is astonishing to me to say the least. Then again this channel of theirs is less than 2 or 3 months old only, so there is a possibility they are just trying to be funny, or trying to draw out a bad reaction. I don't look down on the person for this in any event, but I just am wondering how the hell you don't know this. They seem to think the (2023) is when I uploaded the video when in reality it was indeed 2024 when I uploaded - No one is trying to fool you dude, it's not a trick. Anyway, here is the comment in...
