And hey, maybe you'll get 15% off your auto insurance.
Andria
Finally, some good news!
That's sweet boo
I know many probably don't wanna hear all my woes or are tired of hearing them but yall give me a place to vent and yall don't know how grateful I am for that. It has helped me to maintain a semblance of sanity. Doc said I was suffering from severe depression with anxiety/panic attacks and gave me some Xanax to take a couple times a day and they help, hell they usually knock me out.
Talked to the cardiologist yesterday and he wants to go back into my heart, this time the left side. Something else to worry about.
August 8th where we vapers yell STFU at the FDA, Big Tobacco, Big Pharma, Big Insurance, Big Government.

* friendly hug * Try not worrying about so much for a little bit. Something I do is go through the alphabet and list 1 thing for each letter I'm grateful for having/experiencing. If you can make it through all the letters, go back and do it again listing 3 things for each. It can help at times.
And don't worry about friends not wanting to hear your woes. It is why friends exist, that and making bodies vanish, counter forensic wild goose chases. Life is difficult for all of us in some way, or another.
We each bring our own meaning and purpose to life, part of that for our greatest kindred is in loving and being loved. Even as friends there is love. Love doesn't have conditions, or at least I don't think it does. "Blah, blah, blah .. but love is just chemicals." "GFY!"

You're not a whiner, Doc. You've been plagued by a lot of serious shit all at once. Sharing it with us, is letting us care (and pray) about you. Depression SUCKS. I think I'd rather have cancer, except I come out of depression. Fucking nightmare stuff, though. Usually far worse than the triggers that bring it. It's when you CAN'T unload and get a little sympathy, that you have REAL problems. So here is a few dozen shoulders for you to lean on, GOOD man.
I've never heard of that one.
Excellent reply!!
We ARE here for you Choppy!
Wow!!! It's your birthday? Wooooooohooooooooooooooo!!!!!Morning, Fugees. The requisite GFY, and somebody wish me a happy Birthday. For my birthday, I am going to ride the SNOT outta my scoot. See ya around.
Happy birthday Moo!!
Well then, Happy Birthday!Morning, Fugees. The requisite GFY, and somebody wish me a happy Birthday. For my birthday, I am going to ride the SNOT outta my scoot. See ya around.
Women always know what February 14th is, why don't they know about March 14th?
And you know, I'm easy to please, to make things easy, no steak is even needed.
Here's your cake Moo!

Personally I've pretty much ignored February 14th for the past 10 years except to purchase my Dove chocolate hearts. Yum!!!Women always know what February 14th is, why don't they know about March 14th?
And you know, I'm easy to please, to make things easy, no steak is even needed.
Now I'm craving steak! BAD KAD!!! BAD!
Now I'm craving steak! BAD KAD!!! BAD!
Oh gross!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Wait, you didn't mean these kind of dove hearts dipped in chocolate did you?
Did you edit your pic? At first I saw cookies with hearts, now this. Blech!!! I "was" going to say you were a "romantic". WAS. lol
No, the other one is still there. One post up! So does that mean I'm still a romantic?
The GIMP is very powerful but you have to rethink the way you do things if you're used to Adobe.
Linux, I've used it for years and it's come a long way. It's actually easier to use and maintain than Windows. You do have to choose which Desktop environment you want, I'd recommend KDE. As for which distribution, I very highly recommended Linux Mint.
Got tired of having to unfuck my Dad's computer every other week and put Linux on. Only had to do a distro upgrade once a year after that. He used it for over a decade up until he passed away last year.

Holy Crap @doc_iguana I had no idea what I was missing. I was scrounging around for something new to put in my TC Merlin this morning, and stumbled on a 30ml bottle of King Kake v7 that had gotten shuffled to the back of the shelf 4 months ago. I thought it was excellent before, but damn! I don't know if it's the TC, or the Merlin, or the fact it actually had time to steep, but it's fricking amazing!
I have some King Cake juice too!!!

I agree with Morely and Moo, choppie.. vent all you like. You're DEFINITELY NOT a whiner! Just having a serious run of karma or something. The best thing about dealing with karma is, when you're done, you're done. Debt paid. Even if you have no earthly idea just what the hell you're paying for.
And hey g'mornin' fugees. GFYs merrily. I see there's a tropical storm that might turn into a hurricane for NW FL, and it promises to bring a lot of rain to central GA too. Hope it doesn't decide to turn more northerly; a little rain would be ok, but anything else, STAY THE FUCK AWAY!!!

Yep, that is some AMAZING tasty stuff. STILL like the V2 best, but the 7 is outrageously good too. Have you had Doc's "Divine Emission" in your mouf yet?

The only thing I really observe about Feb 14 is that it's my half-year mark for sobriety.
And chocolate, of course. Andria
No! Tell me more? I may have to request that recipe.
I still haven't mixed up any of the KK v8 , but I think I like v7 better than v2. I can never remember which is which by the names he came up with though.

Eeeeh... I'll pass. I managed to survive WinME, I can probably survive ANY Win version now.
If I put Linux on my mom's, aunt's, or husband's machines, none of them would ever use a computer again, guaranteed. Hmm maybe that WOULD be a good plan. At the time I was first learning DOS, I had a new baby and a raging case of postpartum depression, so I desperately needed something to think about other than shitty diapers and killing myself; DOS and BBS's did a great job. Now... it's just too much effort.
Andria
V2 is Bayou Classic, V7 is the MardiGras Mouthgasm, V8 is Voodoo Chile
Or the nursing home ejuice, Mourning Wood?
Don't get Windows 10 or 8 for that matter. Convoluted frustrating piece of shit.Eeeeh... I'll pass. I managed to survive WinME, I can probably survive ANY Win version now.

So far I've found Win8.1 fairly easy to deal with. At first it was just puzzling, with those "blocks," but I very quickly found the way to get my old regular desktop back, and a program to even give me a start menu, so I don't really have any issues with it. I think I finally resolved the one issue I did have, with it updating and shutting down any damn time it felt like it; now it can download updates all day if it wants, but won't install them until I give it permission -- like when i DON'T have a bunch of shit open that I haven't saved yet!
But I really think the main reason I don't have too many issues is because of 16GB of RAM.
Most issues I've had with Windows have been because it's a memory hog and resource thief, using them and then not releasing them. With 16gb of RAM, that doesn't happen anymore.The random lockups and BSODs that happened daily with WinME, never happen, or perhaps I should say "very rarely" -- I think I've had 2 hard lockups in 2 1/2 yrs use of Win8.1.

So, weather update for my fellow weather geeks. Looks like the "eye" of TS Hermine is still a couple hundred miles offshore, but the edge of it is making landfall from Panana City to Tampa. The "eye" doesn't appear to be too organized at the moment, hence still a trop storm, but if it gets much more organized, it WILL be a hurricane.

Today was suppose to be my get internet at the new place day but once again things just didn't work out the way I hoped they would. The tech came out, climbed the pole and found horrible signal strength so now they had to reschedule to get another group out here who can work on the pole before they can actually install the cable internet. Of course that will take another week. At least I still have the ability of using my cell phone as a hot spot. It is better than nothing.
I been watching that storm since it was called invest 9 and in the Atlantic. Its the most defined it has been yet. Hope yall stay dry Andria.

Well, I expect we may get a little rain from it this weekend, but hopefully it will decrease drastically in both organization and quantity, once it's gone all the way across FL and most of GA.
One thing I noticed, though, which might not bode well for SC -- remember that godawful flood they had last year? When I first looked at the weather radar, I noted that Hermine is sending some outlying stuff in a NE direction... and there's another big ridge that's heading in a SE direction, over VA... if those 2 systems meet up over SC, it might be another mess for them.
