Wowsers - just did a count in Excel of all my puzzles in the puzzle list I have been keeping and I was WAY off in the numbers. I was literally over 1000 out on how many I had completed - I don't know where I went wrong in the process, but I sure did. I also was 3 folders out in the counting of SFW puzzles. So now I am showing more than 5000 that I have not done and I need to generate 3 more folders to get the magic number of a total of 303 folders - just because LOL. Also made sure the list on here matched my list on the PC (text file). I seem to have not updated a couple that I had finished on here and had them still listed in the playing list. Anyways - 98% of the work was getting rid of the names of the folders and leaving just the number of puzzles in that folder. Excel made fast work of adding up the totals. Still don't know why I have an archive of all the SFW puzzles - Not like anyone wants 12,610 puzzles LOL. I've listed several zip files in previous blog posts to ...

My X account is new although it's the same user name I had before. I keep getting tones of follows. Most of them made the profile in May of 2023 - in fact almost all of them LOL. But X got rid of the bots says it's leader LOL. I've got 90 followers at this moment and I'm kind of sure 8 of them are actual people. A friend one day told us all these beautiful women keep following him on tic tok and he's never posted a video. We told him they are bots, and he claims they are actual people. Oh well, as long as he does not DM them, hell be safe. There was one time where the bots where posting stuff to temp you and tagging random users in the post, but I've seen that happen in ages. Then there is the person on Quora that insists on asking me the same stupid question in 1000 slightly different variations LOL. And the barefoot guy requesting me to answer every barefoot question he sees LOL. I love answering questions if I can. Most of them I am requested on, I pass, as I...

1. If someone else were to write a book about your year, how would it go? It would be a comedic tragedy with a great deal of chapters. 2. What surprised you about this year? How cold an uncaring the super rich can be in their greed to grab up more money than they can ever need. There were record profits with a world of hyperinflation, they made it worse to get more out of us, no matter what the human cost was. 3. Did you do your best? Yes, I had too, or I would not have made it. 4. What did you spend too much time or energy on? Worry. 5. How did you engage in self-care? Lot’s of music and holding Pusheen the cat. 6. What do you wish you had done this year? Gone to the park way more times than I did. 7. What bad habit did you drop? I’d like to say drinking booze, but that may never be the case. 10 years from now I might get drunk. I don’t think we quit, but just keep delaying relapse. 8. What was your greatest accomplishment? Not having a total breakdown and ending up on the mental ward...

I can't help but feel ignored with how long it normally takes people to reply to me. I tend to never take more than a couple minutes to reply, unless I'm hiding from the world that is. But this tends to be the norm when I text or message people. It's totally one me though, as I project my own hyper attentiveness to replying to others who tend to actually have a life, when I just sit here in front of the TV all day. I feel quite bad for this because I can't tell you why, but - when someone says God bless to me, I tend to feel slightly annoyed by it. It's well meaning and I honestly can't tell you why it angers me a little. I just have no clue. 90% of the time it's intended as a nicety and to make me feel better. God knows - It could be the past I had with the Christian faith and how it completely damaged me for decades to come. This being said, this is NOT true of most brands of Christianity these days, in Canada at least. My Samsung A53 updated to Android 14...

I asked in a video what the error was in the thumbnail in the Vlogmass 25 thumbnail. The S is missing from AxeMoose Vlogs. That is the answer to what the error is in the thumbnail.

Comparing different AI image generators that can be used for free. DDG is Deep Dream Generator BTW. Prompt: "A young handsome looking boy with blond hair holding a brown puppy in a well appointed living room" 1. DDG Photonic - 896x704 2. DDG MirageMaker - 896x704 3. DDG DreamForge - 896x704 4. DDG Artistic - 896x704 5. DDG Artistic 2 - 896x704 6. Playground - 1024x1024 7. Leonardo - 768x512 8. Bing - 1024x1024 All the DDG ones seem to be almost exactly the same. I'd say that Bing did the best job of it and that  Leonardo was the worst of them. There are of course more generators out there, but most of them are not free to use, other than the first couple of images. Bing is also kind of unlimited use, and the others will only give you so many images a day. With Bing is you make more than about 30 tries at generating things, it tells you no more, but if you close the browser and reopen it and go to Bing again, it will give you about 30 more tries, thus being unlimited with ...

Jarslaw Church near Yorkton Saskatchewan . This was taken in the 1980's Jarslaw Church near   Yorkton Saskatchewan . This was taken in the 1980's - I heard that it is now gone, as it decayed to the point it collapsed. I also remember that the religious icons that where left in the building after it stopped being used, ended up stolen, but that was bound to happen. My Commodore 64, and a small color TV. I had it hacked to have a stereo sound output (not hard to do) and had software that played music files in stereo called "SID Player". You can find versions of it for the PC and Android I do believe - then you can listen to them rocking 8 bit music files. This is the only photo of any of our Christmas trees ever taken. I took it when I was 16 I believe. It's not the nicest tree you ever saw, but it did the job and we loved it. We used to get real trees, then Dad and I decided to see how flammable they where. They had been putting water in it's base and everythin...

So Threads social media platform just recommended my main account to my second account. I have 2 Instagram that I follow different content on each. They give you a Threads if you want it or not, so I am using the other one on the rare occasion. I think it's funny AF they recommended I follow my main channel, as they should know both are me. After all, they are literally linked together and both linked to the same one Facebook account. LOL AI works so dang well, I think we need to trust it with our lives now.  

Here is the next 2 years off my tag questions that will be released once a week all year. 2024 questions have not had the grammar corrected, but the 2025 questions have. In any event enjoy doing the Q&A questions if you desire. 2024 2025

I like Deep Dream Generator , and as long as I can use it free, I will continue to play with it. However I went through my saved images the other day to get rid of some to make room for new ones. Well, I found that before the change to the new way they handle the files, it messed things up. There where a bunch of them showing as "No image". Also there seemed to be more on each page than was being shown, so some of the files where hidden from view. When I deleted a bunch and refreshed, it came up with new images at the bottom of the page and they where not from a page with a higher number than I was working on. So there is a lot of issues with the storage they give you it seems. When I cleaned out the many files I did not want to save on their servers, I ended up with a great deal less images saved. I should note that I went from the last page to the first page in sorting my files. The first 3 pages where saved after they changed how they manage the files. There was no more on...

Would you bet your life on a gamble? No. I like my life way too much to bet it on a gamble. Even being in chronic pain all the time, I love being alive. However, I have had dreams about doing it that I recall. I often remember dreams for some reason. I am out of money, and I bet my life against all the money on the table. I of course loose. This is how I know if you die in your dreams, you do NOT die in real life like they used to say you did. They take me to the basement and short drop hang me and I choke to death. There is always the strange part, that I am wearing a wedding dress when they kill me. I have no idea what that is supposed to mean, but I also don’t put stock in dreams having meanings.

Well never thought this would happen. I mean really, I don't have many followers, but I do get a lot of views on my reels. I have no idea how this happened LOL. I have gained views and a few followers, but top 2%? Strange. But it made me happy. Instagram never says anything to me other than to tell me my reel has 1000 views or 2000 views or whatever. I get a hell of a lot more views on Instagram. A couple of my reels on Instagram got a vast amount of views - one said I hit 1 million views. Never thought that would happen. Now they normally give me the kind that you line up the arrows. These dang things need to not exist. It's so very hard for me to get into this. It took me a full 3 minutes to get into this yesterday. I literally can't imagine how anyone with a lot of arthritis in their fingers could possibly get into this at all. Literally, it's that hard to open. I'm going to see if I can find one of the old bottles in the trash so I can switch this out. It's ...

It is indeed the season for scammers to come out of the woodwork. I've been getting 4 or 5 texts a day for the last 3 days. I also would like to know what it's almost always a (dot)info domain. Is it like less money? I've never wanted one - I have a (dot)ca of course being I'm in Canada and wanted it to represent that. I also got a phone call yesterday saying they where my cousin Mark and they where in the Sudan and needed money fast for medical expenses. Well I do actually have a cousin Mark, but he and the entire rest of my living relatives, have not talked to me in 11 years - so I'm rather thinking it's not him. Also my cousin does not have an African accent. The other thing is, he would know I literally don't have the money to send him in the first place, and his father still being alive might be a way better choice - not to mention his sister who makes rather good money at her job. Then there is the hundred or so Canada post texts I have received about ...

Interesting placement. Between the redneck guy and a profile icon of a drooling smilie. And of course, the "Gotcha". And I'm not sure but I think Facebook thinks I'm a lesbian. I do have to say, I have absolutely no interest in a dating service at all. The last thing I need is some scamming person on the other end stringing me along to get something out of me. No thanks.  

Leftover Perogies and Siracha Ranch dressing for dinner. Gifts for my friends. Having a bad hair life. My phone marked it as spam. I'm sure it's some kind of scam, there is no end to the scam texts. Spent a good 90 seconds trying to find my glasses.
