If you have been following this blog for any time, you may be aware of the issues I had with the furnace guys.
The same guy has been called by my landlord to service the furnace for well over a year now. He was to clean and certify it for use as we needed to get a new tank and have the chimney lined before I could order oil for this winter.
I tried firing up the fucking thing and guess what, the fucking thing does not function, again!
If anyone reading this lives in this area, spread the word that they do not want to do any business at all with "Earl Rosebush Fuels"! He is the biggest fucking asshole on the fucking planet. I will be demanding that my landlord get someone else in to get the furnace working or I will and take it from the rent.
This has gotten beyond anything close to fucking acceptable.
Yes, I am pissed more than I can actually communicate effectively.

Ignorance...
I'm not sure about where others who may read this thing live, but here, we have laws about not parking on sidewalks.
I went to friends place and on from there to get coffee. We passed a construction site where they are building a new seniors home, looks more like a big ass school but that is another rant. The different companies have a good number of workers there but for some reason they did not account for a reasonable amount of space between the building and the roadway in front. The setback looks to be only about 25/30 feet.
Anyway, there were three vehicles parked right on the sidewalk and on our way back, a fourth vehicle was backing onto the same sidewalk, providing us with a less than patient look because we refused to move off of the sidewalk to accommodate his parking.
This was more informational than a rant but the ass that pulled out of a side street was the one that really pissed me off.
He pulled out so that we could not pass out in front of his vehicle and had to either wait for him to move on or walk behind the car. These are the kind of guys that I would like to pull out of their cars and beat them profusely. Especially if it's raining. They are in a nice warm dry car and they seem to feel they have a right that they, in fact, do not.
I kinda got even with one guy. I was coming up on a corner and actually heard the car approaching the corner from behind at a high speed. I didn't even make out that I heard him and crossed the street in front of the person. Whoever it was really had to climb on the binders to keep from hitting me.
Just one more note here, I don't mind "giving" up the right of way that I hold but I'll be damned if you going to "take" it from me without a fight of some sort...

hhmmm.....
Not sure what happened but my tomato plants have not produced this year...
I decided to put tomato plants in a couple of 2 foot clay pots on my front porch. I put 6 plants in each pot and watered them daily for most of the summer.
Don't get me wrong, they grew in a big way bit talk about late producing fruit. These things are almost 5 feet tall and there is now a fair bit of small tomatoes on the plants but I am not going to be getting more than 1 or 2 that I can keep or are useful for anything except garbage.
Wish me luck, I'm going to try bringing them inside for the winter. I don't think they are going to get enough sunlight or whatever but with a little luck, mine is mostly bad, I'll be able to get a little more out of them.

It has to be blogger....
I still think blogger is crapping on me. I could not log in for love nor money this morning although I really didn't try either of those options.
Got two Doctor appointments for next week, one with the surgeon on Monday to see if he needs to open it again and the other on Tuesday with my GP to update the paper work required for work.
Way too much fun...

Harassment...
I think I'm going to have to call one number back very soon.
Bell ExpressVu pissed me off a couple of years ago. Every single bill I received from them was different. It was as if they could not make up their minds just how much to charge for the questionable service they were providing.
Two years ago this December, I decided that they were getting no more money from me. Since then, they have been trying to collect about $150. They would also change the options in the package deal I had without warning or compensation or anything noting that they had that right according to their contract. Absolute bullshit as far as I am concerned.
Anyway, They have continued to make calls to me at least once a day for the past two years, leaving messages on my voicemail. As per the process, I have refused to return any of those calls. These calls would arrive as many as three times a day and even on Saturdays. I didn't care. It is easy enough to delete the messages.
However, I think they have now breached the proper collection process. For about a month now, I have been receiving these calls on Sundays. Is this allowed? I don't think so. I am going to wait one more week and if it happens next weekend I am going to be calling the number with a threat of a lawsuit for harassment, and for a shit load more than the amount that I owed them.
There are laws and I'll be damned if I'm the only one that has to adhere...

Amazing...
Looks like the next big multinational scandal is with HP.
I was actually amazed at first when, after the whole thing blew up in her face, the chairman(what happened to "chairperson"?) noted that she was going to resign from the chair but remain on the board until January.
Now it seems that she is jumping ship entirely, more what I thought would and should have happened.
Maybe TV has provided me with a skewed perspective but the CEO and the chairperson claim not to have known how the investigators were to get the information they did. Did they think it would just materialize out of thin air?. Did they think the culprits would be giving themselves up freely to be removed from a very lucrative position?
As far as I am concerned, HP should go back to the way it was. They actually gave a shit about the customers and the people who worked for them. I don't see it now...
Just, once again, my point of view...

Not bad...
It hasn't been a bad day, I guess...
Still don't know when I am supposed to have my next surgery.
I don't know if it's me or not but there doesn't seem to be much urgency with my doctors in reference to me.
Great day for a walk and a coffee and pretty much did nothing else.
Hope the weekend is good for all

Another day...
Another day, another pain in the ass...
I was finally able to get hold of my surgeon's receptionist/nurse who told me that they had me booked for October 3 rd for reopening the hole in my back. After telling her what my nurse thought about the status, she decided that she wanted to talk to my nurse. It seems that after talking to her, the receptionist/nurse was to contact me with a new time for the repeat surgery but did not. Guess I'm going to have to get a little more insistent.
I don't care so much about the mistake and don't care if he even admits the mistake, just fix the damn thing!
Furnace oil isn't going to be too bad to start with this year, $750 to fill my tank from empty, I can live with it...
I'll leave it at that for now...
I know, this all seems boring fight now but it is my life. I will produce better posts when I can think of other things after this mess has been cleaned up.

Did I ever tell ya?...
Did I ever tell ya I hate Doctors, stairs, assholes, etc? The list is far too long to put down here...
How about all the different get slim/lose weight programs?
How about all of the damnable solicitation calls?
How about calls from charities looking for donations of money, clothing etc?
How about "religions"? For the people my ass!
Telephone companies?
Satellite TV companies, sometimes the same as telephone?
How about neighbors that think they are better than you?
How about neighbors that think they can decide how you live?
I better stop now, looks like it could get into a major rant.
Have a great humpday!

Expected...
As expected, the hole in my back is healing from the outside and not the inside. This is not a good sign.
I'm waiting for a call from the surgeons office for an appointment to see what he intends to do about the situation. I'm really not looking forward to this at all...
It's raining again which makes for a dreary day, really not helping the mood either...
I'm gonna keep it sort today, hope yours is better than mine...

Graffiti Monday 48, and other crap...
For a mid-September day, yesterday was extremely nice.
You know the movies that show neighborhoods that have a lot of people in a multitude of activities?
It was so weird because that is exactly what I saw yesterday when walking from my daughters place back to my place.
One lady was getting her two kids ready for a walk with a stroller, on the next block, two guys were working on the wheel of a car, across the road another guy was repairing his fence, at the cross street there were at least four couples/groups walking up and down the street, on the next block a lady was in the front yard playing with her three kids and a dog as well as the lady from across the street coming over to join the merriment, two other guy were sitting in and leaning on a car drinking brews and talking ...
I have never seen this much spontaneous activity in a neighborhood in a long time. It was as if there was a blackout and there was nothing else to do...
Really quite odd but somehow refreshing to see that it actually does take place..
Almost forgot, Happy Graffiti Monday !

Spoiled...
Funny how one professional can spoil you for any others.
My regular Nurse does her job efficiently, properly and with a good deal of personability (is that even a word?)
I actually wait for her to come in and work on the hole in my back because I know she has genuine concern about my condition and the necessity of being through so that I have as little problem with the healing process.
The second nurse I had, way back when, just barely wet down the wound, didn't clean the inside or much of anything else. I requested that she not return which they have acted on.
Yesterday, I had another nurse, mine has to have some time off, seemed to be pretty much a ditzy broad. Her first question was, "What am I supposed to be doing here?" OK, your the nurse, you don't know?...
I allowed for some miscommunication and the fact that she may have been really tired. She did say that I was the 13th visit yesterday and she had a couple of parties that she had to get to after work, one for a kid.
Another clue to the ditzy was the fact that she apparently left her blood pressure cuff and stethoscope somewhere and wasn't quite sure where.
Lets see how it goes today and see if it was a one off.
Have a great day peeps!

My opinion...
Remembering catastrophe's such as 9/11, tsunami's, hurricanes, twisters, to me is really quite stupid.
One killing rampage that took place in a school in Quebec so many years ago didn't stop the latest attack from happening...
How does the saying go, "If you don't remember the bad things, history will repeat itself!"
Seems to me that no matter how much remembering happens, these atrocities repeat themselves anyway...
I think the statement was created to show the insight that one person had, cute but extremely unrealistic...
Just this guys opinion...

Is it me?...
Or is it blogger? I couldn't log in using any browser this morning, talk about pissed off.
Anyway, had my reassessment by the nurse today and she has added another week before the next one. That would be on the 29th. Now I have to figure out how to get it added to the leave of absence from work, that way I get paid....
There was another school shooting, in Montreal this time. Funny but we had an incident that was similar in this city yesterday.
Some kid was a little miffed, got into some sort of scuffle on a bus and shot another student with a BB gun.
My kid said, "It was just a BB gun!" Of course he and his friends have shot at each other with them, not that I approve but there isn't much I can do unless I am with him 24/7.
Just something to think about...

sweet...
Finally got the paperwork and it looks clear to the 25th so far.
The doctor finally showed a little concern over my yo-yoing blood pressure but I think its because the nurse that comes in daily takes it and keeps me apprised otherwise nothing would have been done. Mind you, the only thing he is doing is doubling my prescription, none of the people I know, and a lot of them are nurses, believe that this is the fix. I guess we'll see.
He also decided to look at the hole in my back. His spin on it, "Great, looks good!". Funny but the nurse says that there has been no change to the inside where it is supposed to be healing and the depth hasn't changed either. Friggin doctor thinks he can tell more in a split second, cursory glance than someone who is assessing it on a daily basis. We'll see. If it heals up on the out side first and the damn thing grows like it did the last time, I smell lawsuit...
My thoughts are also with a buddy of mine, he has gone under the knife again as of 8 am this morning. This is a guy who is riddled with cancer and has actually outlived his live expectation by a couple of decades. Wishing him luck in his latest round with the evil C...
Gotta save some for later, have a great day even if it is raining in your area as it is here...

Damn...
Do you believe it? We're almost to the middle of September...
Getting up this early is gonna kill me, although it is about the time I am going to have to get up when I go back to work...
I have an appointment to fill out paperwork with my doctor today and my nurse will be showing up about noon...
Yea, a broken record, I know but it is consuming my whole life at this point.
And it is raining today and supposed to tomorrow as well, not conducive to the life of a person who walks everywhere...
Hope all have a better day than I anticipate for myself.

Here we go, another week in this screwed up world...
Didn't find out til yeserday that I needed to make an appointment with the damn doctor to have the papers filled out so I don't get fired from work and even get the beneft plan to pay for my time off although only 66% of my normal but it is better than nothing...
Looks like Vsta RC1 is now available and I am ownloading. Sweet, soon be able to blow away the crap on this system and run with a clean Vista, we'll see what happens.
Gotta cut this short, I have to go to the store my son went to last night and see if he left my debit card there, swear that kid is out to make me have a heart attack...

This is getting to be a pain...
I think I am looking at switching just in time, it took almost 10 minutes for this damned blog to open.
Now I know that my system is getting overly buggy right now but my ISP has upped the connection from 2 k to 5 k and connecting to anything is just about impossible. Hopefully I can push this thing along for a few more days till I get the crap off of it I want to keep and then blow the whole system away and start fresh...
Anyway, have a great day, looks like rain here sometime today....

Let's try that...
I found a link on another persons blog, I think it was WarCryGirl, to Wordpress and thought I would give it a shot.
I know, I keep trying different ones and crap but we'll see if this one becomes viable...
here is the address if yer interested - My Insane Life
I'll try to run both for now but as usual, no guarantees..
Update on my back, the doctors nurse told my nurse "Welcome to the 2000's, just tease the wound to keep it open." WTF?
So now the nurse is going to have to keep coming in to keep the hole open so it heals from the inside. I figure I did something to piss him off and really want to ask him what it may have been.
I'll leave it at that for now, have to save something for the new space

What the hell?...
The nurse who comes in to clean the hole in my back and change the dressing, called the surgeons office and is waiting for a callback from him.
She spoke to his nurse and even they are surprised that he did not require a packing to keep this thing from healing over, which, I might add, is actually happening at what appears to be an accelerated rate.
My family doctor who is supposed to fill out the required paperwork so that I don't get fired, has now closed his office till the 11th, I would like to go down, grab him by the throat and shake him like a dog shaking a rag....
Seems one of my cousins was injured by the Taliban attack on Tuesday, he will be coming home sometime this week. He did undergo surgery this morning for the shrapnel in his legs...
The fun just keeps on rolling for me...
BTW, I tried to leave a comment on yer blog Hale but for some reason, got only errors, didn't matter which browser I used either. I figure it must be something with my system as there were other comments already there... Maybe the next time.

She spoke to his nurse and even they are surprised that he did not require a packing to keep this thing from healing over, which, I might add, is actually happening at what appears to be an accelerated rate.
My family doctor who is supposed to fill out the required paperwork so that I don't get fired, has now closed his office till the 11th, I would like to go down, grab him by the throat and shake him like a dog shaking a rag....

Hhmmm....
Looks like management is still not paying attention to what is happening...
Another of my team members is leaving this week for a different company. That is about 5 so far this month.
I personally have had an offer put forth. It would be part time at first and possibly work into full time with more than four times the money.
Should I think about the switch... NOT likely!
A little more on the back, the hole is closing up nicely but that really is not a good thing. The root of it is still producing the same amount of material which, if the hole seals up, will create the swelling and pain again. My daily nurse was to call the surgeon yesterday and I may know more after her visit today...
My family doctor has still not filled out the paperwork necessary for me to get paid by my medical plan from work while I am off, I think this may require a road trip with a bat....
Anyway, have a great humpday!

WOW!!
Coming up on the one year anniversary of this here blog...
I missed posting a single day in that whole year...
Come Saturday, I will re-post the original as well as the comments to it...
It was really weird looking over the old posts and find just how fitting they were and seem to fit this year as well...
Funny how my blood pressure is high or normal, depending on who I'm talking to. For this past week, four of the readings were 138/100, 165/86, 160/80, 175/86. You tell me, are these high and especially as I am taking meds to control it...
Have a great day....

Scientific Explanation...
This is from an email I received...
Scientific Explanation of Hell
The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term. The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.
Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.
One student, however, wrote the following:
First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving.
I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.
As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different Religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell.
With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially.
Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa, (Cheerleader Captain and Class Valedictorian) during my Freshman year that, "it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you", and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night and again this morning, then number 2 must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over.
The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct...leaving only Heaven, and thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God!!!"
THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A."
Enjoy...

Redneck...
Took my daughter to the local fair last night and found some real, honest to god, rednecks...
This is the first time in quite a few years that I actual went to see the demolition derby, yea, a little redneck in me just for going to see this but not near as much as the asses behind us.
We went to the grandstand about a half hour before it was to start, good thing too, and managed to get a couple seats in the second row from the bottom, these are really not bad seats even though they are just aluminum benches.
There were a bunch of people behind us with about four empty spaces. It looked like others had been sitting there and had gone to get drinks or food. Just before the show started, there was one guy who was assisting in seating, helping the handicapped and filling empty areas. He spotted the seats behind us and asked if they were taken, the rednecks said that they had gone to get drinks.
The next time the guy went by they said that the people had gone to the washroom.
Funny thing, no one had ever showed up to claim the seats. The next time and from then on, they started cursing and yapping about the fact that if people got there first then they could have the seats, etc.
It wasn't till about fourty minutes into the show that the people arrived to take the seats. They just got to the fair. WTF?
These people cursed a guy out and raised quite a ruckus about those being there early enough get the seats but the "friends" or "family" arrive long after the show and are entitled?
Damn rednecks are everywhere!

Great weekend?...
It's a long weekend but just how great is that?
I have to wait for the home nurse to fix up the hole in my back which, by the way, is starting to pain a little more now. Hopefully it is only due to the healing process...
Got to call into work so they don't fire my ass, and let them know I still have not gotten the paperwork from my doctor...
I have to get hold of the doctor to enquire about the paperwork..
As a side note, I have been trying to get the papers since Tuesday. I called in 5/6 times yesterday only to reach a recording that said they would be back on the next business day at 8:30 am. Didn't know if this meant they were out for the weekend so I went to the office to find out. They were in, but they really don't give a shit about anyone. I asked if the papers were ready t which I got the reply, "We can't have them ready in seconds!"
I told her that they had the papers for 3 days already. She states that she saw them back there, pointing in the direction of the back offices. I said that I need them to get paid. She says "sorry" and turns away as if I didn't exist or were a minor nuisance like gnat that had to be waved away..
Anyway, got to take my daughter to the fair tonight, that was a promise which I do keep.
I have to finish up the final communication(letter) to my oldest son. He has decided that he no longer wants anything to do with his entire family. How do you say a final goodbye to your son when he is still alive and well?...
I still have to do all of the other stuff that is usual in my life, laundry, food, cleaning, etc.
And to top it off, the weather is supposed to go to hell tomorrow through Sunday...
I hope everyone else's weekend is going to be better than mine
