4 PERSONAL UPDATES IN ONE

Well on the health front, I had a massive flair last night and had to set my renders to batch render then went to bed for a few hours then came shut down the PC. I'm still hurting this morning, but not nearly as bad. Still it's got to be a 5 for pain. I'm not in fear of passing out however.

On the computer front, the Warranty people got back to me on the ram failing. They just mailed a check for the $217 I paid for the computer. I guess it's less to them to do this than to have it fixed. I'm really not going to pay $80 to get ram for it as well, as it may not be the ram, it can be the bus, it can the the slots, it can even be the motherboard. So, come summer and GST time I think I'll replace it with a slightly better reconditioned system. For $217 I'm not getting the same, as the price has gone up. Being I'm very behind on the credit card I literally can't anyway. I can deal with it freezing until then I guess.

On the money front, it looks like I'll get $405 back when I file my taxes even though I did not pay any income tax. How you say? Well there is a rebate for Carbon tax that I will qualify for. It should get me out of the hole on the card and help pay for a months worth of food and a few other things. April is GST rebate month so more extra money then. Come July it will be GST rebate again and I'll get the PC replaced.

On the health front part 2. I'll be seeing a surgeon about the hernia (the same one) and see what he has to say. I realize there is a high rate of failure for these "fixes" with people my size. I will have to tell him the pain meds I had last time did literally nothing for me at all. I'll also be telling him I want to be in the hospital overnight as I was not able to pee after and it's not easy to get someone to stay and check on me overnight the first day. I ended up in the ER 3 times after the last one - 2 times in the first 24 hours. So a stay overnight is in order I think.

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.

Matilde Vicenzi Cookies Are Great

Image
Was sent these by a good friend for a birthday gift. They are really very good. Quite possibly the best cookies I've had in years. I tried them all, and I like the white one you see in the bottom picture, as it had a lemon taste to it. Some had a bit of liquid chocolate in them and where very good as well. Like normal, the ones with the bit of jam in them where a bit too sticky and chewie. But I seriously enjoyed all of them. These are great. I'm going to look them up on Amazon and if they are not too much money, I'm getting more for Christmas. OK just looked it up and NOPE, it's $28 a can. They are very good, but that is a bit out of my price range. But the usual Christmas Danish Butter Cookies are also kind of a lot of money now as well. They are also a bit moist, and not super dry like usual. Also not powdery like a lot of them do. I'd give these an 8/10 and would recommend highly.

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.

10 Questions Answered

1. How many times have you seen the time as exactly 8:18 am/pm in your life? Almost never. If I did I did not take note of it. 11:11 I always remember as well as 3:33. The middle of the night where all the horror movies have things happen is said to be 3:15am - you have no idea how many times I’ve woken up at 3:15am and looked at my phone. 2. What have you lived long enough to see? The list is rather long, but I’ll try to keep it short. Computers went from filling a room bigger than my apartment, to fitting in our pockets. When I worked in data entry, the entire building was using a 1GB drive that was the size of a stove. Now my 512GB micro SD card is smaller than a fingernail. Medical treatments like Stem Cells are not giving life back to people who would have died when I was younger. Medication I’m on did not exist 15 years ago, and it’s keeping me alive. All manner of medical wonders. Personal space travel. This was fiction when I was young, and now it’s happening. Then there is uns
