Masterebate

This is the second time. Fool me once shame on me, fool me twice I am a pathetic loser like Harry in D&D. Now I am not one of the silicon valley intellectual, financial, and cultural elite. How do I know this? Because they stopped calling me back. Yup moved on to the next level and here I sit in the baby pool awash with other people’s…

Apologies that one got away from me. That is another post entirely. So here I sit looking for the following items because Canon will graciously:

It has been years since I wept openly with tears of pure joy. My spirits are now filled to the brim with optimism. A voice (typist?) in the virtual world, sporting a very earnest Arial 10 font as set by me in my Y! email account using the Oddpost beta (it’s good). Breathe, walk toward the light, look for Carol Ann, walk, and breathe.

Now this process looks familiar to me. When I bought an external backup drive two years ago I had the same run around. Rebate sent in exactly per instructions, denied, I called, and it was cleared. F-ing scumbags. Just a run around because some marketing ops person somewhere knows that the rebates crowd will fall off at a certain percentage and only the truly persistent will get their money.

Anyone know what that # is?

So I called and it was reaffirmed that I need to copy page six from the User Guide which is the Printer Disclaimer page and fax or scan and email it in. So I will.

Something tells me I am not done here to get my $50.

“Girls like guys with skills.” - Napoleon Dynamite

Truer words one will most likely never hear. Girls like guys with skills. All types of skills. Since the Agents are reaching the age where the opposite sex is becoming interesting I decided to give them some skills, and bragging rights with an overnight backpacking trip. So the Supreme Commander set up a trip in the Cascades in Washington. It was to be an overnight survival skills building trip. As I explained it, “Agents, after this trip you will make Bear Grylls look like a hand model.” Agent Hotkoffee used another word involving hand to describe the Bear, again this is a family blog. Agent Hofkoffee thought it was a great idea and she volunteered to assist with the training. Since she is more than qualified I asked her along. Figured I needed it in case the agents went off the rails. Okay, more like when the agents go off the rails. The trip was scheduled for one night in the woods off Boulder Creek Trail in the Darrington National Forest. The hike into the campsite is a moderate hi...

Healing After Surgery - The Neo Age Way

On January 22nd of the year of the hare I wiped out on my road bike and managed to implement a Class III separation of my Acromioclavicular Joint (AC Joint). For us lay persons that is a joint in your shoulder. On February 2 (also year of the hare) I had the joint surgically repaired and have been recovering ever since, and let me tell you it hurts. One part of the healing process is the unsolicited advice on healing from all persons who you may call friends or at least call acquaintances. Thought I would share some of the suggestions I get from my unpaid group of advisors on healing my shoulder: I call them my ill-advisors, that is people who tell me they know someone who had something similar to what I am going through and they have the best 'cure.' Here are the best so far: Vitamin D3 - or calciol which is a form of Vitamin D structurally similar to steroids and has all kinds of good benefits for healing, except it's poisonous in large doses. Acupuncture - c'mon you ...

My Dad is Old School

Really old school. In fact he defines the last great generation of people who suffered in silence, SSRI inhibitor free, and aspirin is for whimps generation. Drug a kid in school to get him to pay attention? He will have none of that. Sit them down, tie them to the chair (alas no duct tape in his youth). He is proud, hard working and is a lifelong Republican because "those liberals will ruin the country." He says a friend who knows a key operative in the party has proof in the form of photos that Hillary is a lesbian. He also thinks Bill Clinton has super powers that make women take off their clothes which is damnable. So he hates him. However this year he says he will vote for Obama because GWB has "redefined the worst parts of our party and the next generation will suffer." We will see, my take is he will say one thing and do another (vote the party line). As the baby boomer generation gets up there in years our parents begin to slide into what I call the medical...
