Two Quick Thoughts

To me coffee is a great pleasure and I choose to spend the vast majority of my spending money on it. I really don't tend to have more than $20 extra a month to spend on things other than needs, but I mostly spend that money on nice coffee to drink. The manner in which I make the coffee uses kind of a lot of it, to make just one mug of coffee, but it is extremely pleasant to drink that mug of coffee. I have been told it is not helping with my Fibromyalgia pain, but I am willing to have slightly more pain in my life to enjoy a great cup of coffee. To be honest having coffee out, is disappointing compared to what my Moka pot produces for me. I may even keep drinking it if I was told it would shorten my life noticeably - to be honest, with no coffee in my life, I don't think I'd want to be here as much as I do now.

It's been about 13 years since I lost my friend. At the time he was my best friend, and we knew each other for 38 years. We did a lot together. Went camping, played cards, played dice, watched moves, and talked for hours on end. I thought of him the other day and how it would be nice to have him around right now.

But then again, I miss the last person I called a best friend as well. She was closer to me than the person pictured here - she was closer than most of my family. I will never stop missing here and not a day goes by that I don't think of her. I'm sure a lot of people think it's strange that I think of her more than I do my dead Mother, but it's true.

Saskatchewan Assured Income for Disability (SAID) And Why I Almost Died Last Night

Image
Saskatchewan Assured Income for Disability (SAID) is the program that is supposed to be helping me as a disabled person to survive. Yesterday (Aug 29, 2024) I was supposed to get paid by them directly into my bank account. It never showed up and I have literally no idea on earth why this is happening to me. I emailed the minster of social services and asked them to get someone to call me and explain so I can fix this. This was at 3 AM give or take and  I got a reply that someone would phone me. Well, no one phoned me yesterday and right not it's 10:45 am and no call at all from them. I have no idea if I'm cut off and facing homelessness or I just need to give them some information they want to continue my benefits. Meanwhile, I have 21 cents in the bank and a maxed out credit card. I can't buy food to feed myself, and no one in the government gives a darn about this at all. We are faceless numbers to manipulate to them and nothing else. Don't fool yourself, the governme

A Good Day For a Change (AKA Coffee Outing)

Image
The usual Thursday event yesterday, we went out on the north service road for coffee. It's a truck stop, but it's a big sized restaurant. I don't go out there any other day or time, so I don't have any idea if it has a time when there are a lot of people in it. But when we go, there is almost no one else in there. I have to say $3.85 for a Pop (Pepsi) is nuts, but coffee is the same price, and their coffee makes me ill - everyone else is fine with it, just not me. However the pop only gets one refill, not unlimited like the coffee does. I'll talk about the strange bill below. In any event, there was a new face at coffee when I got there. I'd met the fellow before, and he is nice to talk to. The one guy who has been going for years has not been there the last 2 times, and I'm totally OK with this. He was super aggressive, and very rude the last time he was there. We let him know this is NOT acceptable behavior at all. I think he needs a medication review if

Well I Got Drunk

Image
OOPS. I accidently got drunk. OK I went out of my way to get drunk. Sigh. This is not cool at all. But I did drink it nice and slow so I did not hurt myself. The problem with the time I did get hurt is I drank it very fast and blacked out. When I cam too that time, I was on the floor and could not stand up. Thankfully the lady down the hall heard me calling for help and called and ambulance for me. What can I say. I made a choice to get booze with the money a YouTube friend sent me and I drank the entire thing. I am obviously not able to be responsible with booze at all. But I do say I enjoyed the hell out of it. I'm talking 10/10 fun. OK maybe 8/10. It was on sale or normally it would have been more money. My normal drink was Alberta Premium, but this is nicer and was on sale for not much more money. The thing is, an online order system does not know your a drunk, it just takes your money and sends someone to deliver it. Sadly, I'm not the least bit sorry I drank this, but I&#

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.
