Month: February 2012

  • I have a gift of a New to me laptop, my mother’s old one.  it is pictured above an Asus k501.  I’ts a nice gift which you can see on it’s bottom edge just right of center is a spot for reading sd cards, precisely what my new camera and most modern camera’s use.  It’s a joy to have something that works :D – thank you mom. 

    I was Unsuccessful in solving it’s forever “glitch” of randomly selecting deleting/ garbling text.  I’m glad to see that

    I have an Asus K501 bought a couple months ago at local
    best buy store .. have noticed that my cursor tends to “jump” from the text I am
    typing and go to “wherever”, maybe even at the beginning of the sentence I just
    typed! Is this a problem with the touchpad sensitivity also? It’s freaking
    aggravating and frustrating!!!! Is anyone else having this problem w/ their
    cursor?? BTW, first and LAST Asus laptop!! HP is the way to go!!

    File this under “misery likes company.”  Having exact
    same problem and have read all the forum notes.  It is amazing that Asus has not
    done anything.  I have a K70I and it is a great laptop in every way but the
    pad.  I liked the description of someone earlier. I feel like I have a Ferrari
    with the steering of a Twingo.  Hoping Asus does something to solve
    this.

    in short- the problem whatever it is is NOT just mine and not ever solved two model points down the line and 2 years nearly later.  My best solution was to be consistantly typing and never ever rest your hands or wrists oneart the pad – this is not 100% effective but cuts down on the annoying occurances…meaning the pad is mounted in such a way that it’s sensitive to the flex of hands on the wrist wrest… 

     

    I was pleased to see some poor soul take it to best buy or whereever and find out it worked just FINE there with them not fixing the problem and upselling them on a “surge protector” which grounds to the wall yet the computer plug is itself ungrounded…lol…wouldn’t solve anything but more cash for best buy :D …  anyone ever get that kind of tech support?

     

    it seems though the best way to resolve this annoyance…remember joshy needs zero help being less clear in his typing …. is to turn off the touchpad and use tabs or mouse.

    I’m still! considering baking bread from scratch today.  there is something earthy about doing the steps from earlier in the processes.    I made a hash of my omelet this morning though and thus RUSTIC SCRAMBLED EGGS damn it :D   oops. so it’s is conceived to consider a project garunteed to make a mess when you already made one.    but if I do

    pigs-in-a-blenket?

    or

    cream cheese chicken spinach pinwheel

     

    net stolen examples

    or

    first picture the public school lunch perennial favorite and the second a close approzimation of a pinwheel in this case cream turkey spinach pinwheel – wherein the silling seems to be incorporated in the bread not in between it….no no no! :D

    Remember, I may end up doing squat nothing and slapping in a digiorno

     

  • Gorsh, I Love My Bank

    Go to store – late harried dog in tow or towing , they really don’t believe in shoveling around here but someparts YAY are done. wow the church miracles of miracles shoveled its walk just after I gave up hope on them and went the other way – ;)   get to the store my debit card the only item I need isn’t with me.   quick check, not mis moved, not with me.

    anyone had a meltdown and uzid everyone nearby yet?

     

    it gets more fun trip not really wasted dog foound a flat green fluffy mouse maybe the wouldn’t give. jerk doesn’t get it- he gets sick eating cat food – dead green furry mice aren’t for his digestion….after that is pryed out of his mouth oh 40 pound obstinant one- I’m biger and meaner than you… lets romp you through the snow-   weee!  fairly clear stretch of side walk with snow over him  he’s still faster….  atta boys out of the way.. no trip anywhere should end in misery!  get to store and? no card…f that rule.

    so I’m home and dryer wrong color lint plus I never leave lint  un clearred away…not ther, not in coat , pants I washed , the dresser dresser drawer somehow with me missed it no charges pending nothing cleared that wasn’t my doing, nothing coming in later woot, call mom I’m late that mission was already late to begin with take dog to the bank walk romp and car ride!  lucky him and lucky me too!  left with replacement card new numbers dates pin,.   so nice I had already withdrawn cash for my return to the errand thinking it was the old way with forever waits snail mail seperate pin..yada nope

     

    now I have another gallon of milk in place orthe heavy mild drinking wek’s worth…hhhhhaaaarrrd salami…yada list.. but here’s a hoot, joshy bought instead of a box of nummy brownies…2 bags of brussel sprouts.

     

    gorsh, I love my bank.  $5 minimum balance savings zero otherwise, automatic linkage to checking if you choose, 12 a year debit visa, no initial fuck over overdraft line of credit which is extra – atms world wide- all seven elevens in my area are free. star network otherwise atms, and or co-op branch at about 1/2 of “credit unions. I don’t know anyone when I signed up so unlike many credit unions this one’s public as the name implies.  550 minimum credit scores with no uncleared “bank” debts I believe is the rule but they may work with you -I do have higher fees for foreign atm use and over drafts should I incur any which I haven’t in 8 years there only 2 courtesy clears they changed this to link to accounts later you see.   lemme say it again, Gorsh, I love my bank. 

     

    anyoneknow where the hell that useless plastic card is now?

  • Wingin’ It

    Maple Chicken Wings

    soy garlic maple chicken

    cook til they’re blazing!

     

    sorry limited computer time so that’s raw as pictures go I only could waste the lettuce to bed them :)   no tomato rose :) lol that’s it 3 pounds of cchicken wings cooked down to a yummy glaze.-  archer farms real maple syrup sucks it’s actually too fancy of a grade! you want and need real ma syrup the fake stuff breaks… but you want low class stuff it tastes better :D  grade b baby grade B.   I had lite soy so as to cut sodium some. I had to ad half as much more water and thus it tooke 50 minutes more to boil away that and thus 2 hours 20 minutes   cooked as per directions as you can see till sugar starts to char just starts :)  no one likes charcoal wings so watch it!  I normally gook this recipe with springttree brand real maple syrup and fooey on target for this recipe.    I was told they were tender and I had my signature candy crunch on these because :) that’s what you’re doing cooking sugar to soft  candying sugar stages.      however no matter how how I try this dish always costs about five to six dollars a pound to make so – maple chicken wings 2012 ::) I doubt I’ll make them again this year.

     

    that’s me time for today folks on rations internet ghouls last time now computer ghouls this time :) lol 

     

  • time softens

    an OLD poem mine- then the newer version.

    the purpose of the redo is to see if I can’t have an easier meter- I rpeserve best I can the recip but I’m sure i lose some of somethin something :D it hapens. 

    Kiss Rouge Miaz

    Sing to me of spuds, browned by coal-red light 
    Steaming hot vapors, Rising to the sky 
    Eve’ning Chill beck-ons, Moonbeam’s silvered bright 
    Scheming up visions, not of what to fry 
    Just wipe me one clean, seeing glinted gleams 
    Trust your oven’s roar, heating up for more 
    More of what but stuff, stuffed with soured cream 
    Maybe butter or, maybe salt from shore 
    Cut down its middle, revealing each half 
    Scoop out and drizzle, dollop and dust thus 
    Stirring in liquid to smooth out the path 
    Sailed in crisp boats, this delightful must 
    Romancing tummy, which warms many hearts 
    Those echoing mem-ries tossed in the cart.

    (for a prairie home companion’s a bed of roses contest and I am Kiss)

    February-March 2009 to now of 2012  

    NEW! Sing To Me Of Spuds.

    Sing to me of spuds done by coal-red Light
    Bring for me that taste blazingly yummai
    Ding! goes dinner's YELL well, it's time to Eat
    Treat me to stuffed sin trimmed and all in cheese
    Speak with reverence whence bacon is seen
    Bring to me that taste blazingly yummy
    Take it out after sixty so to make
    break with knife in half; grab out guts, yes take
    Make them mix with salt garlic cheese and moo
    Through spoon's mashing mush lusciousness ensues
    Do bite in for mmm's delight against chills
    Eve'ning's ink blanket can have this warm thrill
    Kill not your budget, but hunger desp'rate
    Yes, Sing to me Spuds - Done up right to-night.

     
     
     

     


  • Chicken Satay Sashays

    A simple IDEA for fun food – stick-figure Chicken Satay Sashays. for @seedsower ‘s SquidDogs post. :D   broil five minute a side  or til done, Enjoy.

  • Wonderland

    We’re having a heat wave! a tropical heat wave the snow’s flyin curbs a matteerhorn hike, man woo man!

     

    the weather tinkies if you’re a fuddy duddy old person thinking  something stupid like I can walk it! it’s only a mile.  but not with 40 pounds of groceries i can not. some are presents to the universe/litter :D   woops  cabs, 2 hour delay :

     

    now- what made it home is

    • Starbucks espresso roast
    • Peet’s coffee Uzuri blend – east Africa
    • cheesecake
    • bratwurst? no! sweet Italian sausage :D
    • orange mango juice
    • gallon of milk because if there isn’t a gallon waiting wen the other has half a gallon gone we’re OUT OF MILK
    • hamburger buns…pat pat your buns now
    • a variety of single serve drinks :
    • mellow yellow
    • root beer
    • throw Pepsi
    • throw back mt dew *panther pee
    • Arnold palmer
    • green tea honey and ginseng
    • toilet paper yes how annoying but would you like to shower after the dunny? not I.
    • paper towel otherwise my counters really need chiseling
    • 48 tub of dishwasher pellets
    • 3 pack of smokes in the bag and one in my pocket
    • a can of beef stock? oh no! French onion soup.
    • a bottle of apple mango fa breeze = refer to general chiseling and cleanliness
    • a tube of chips salt and vinegar
    • spicy brown mustard and yellow mustard I’m fucking sick of not having any damn mustard around here

    -

    losses:

    • six pack of smokes
    • italian soda- grapefruit 
    • a can of frozen juice forget if it was an orange or something else blend
    • xingtea green tea peach and pomegranate
    • drumsticks – the mini ice cream kind

     

    so in short $45 could have been saved if I wanted to wait 3-4 hours to go one mile might have been worth it afterall :D   whoops it was funny feeling like I should wave at the truckers I had $20 for an easy twenty minute delay only scowls because I was in their way.

     

    Gains:

    knowing no matter how hard you try someone hates their life and job so much that they choose to ignore your efforts to make it easier for all  while that seems like a loss it isn’t its well worth it to know and prepare for the I don’t give a shit factor.- it’s a saviour in the end.

    I can carry 40 punds of groceries in a snowstorm. – i can still improve but I can do it! :D

    I sure don’t mind that I didn’t slip and fall- i do not mind that one bit.

    would you have laughed seeing me drog a grocery cart across what could be a six lan road? in a snowstorm to pause half way for traffic.  would it bother you intensely that I actually cant see save to know I couldn’t make the trip in one go…sure does slow a fellow down pushing dragging a cart across a foo of snow.

    oh and DUH, coffee and cheesecake anyone?

    -

    pictures for the lazy

    all net swiped I’d have cussed and lost all composure if i lost my camera on this trip :D

    consumables:

    -

    needfull’s …in the snow  heh

     

    -

    sundry drinks

     


     coffee and cheesecake anyone?

     

     

    literally with as many failed pictures grabs because xangs editor doesn’t take the long google cached images- this blog took longer to write than it did to slog in the weather. :D figures

     

    now:

    if you ever look at cheese cake and think mmm coffee.  try uzuri blend- why? because lemon tones all throughout the great rift valley exist with the exception of Kenya which is blackberry toned and scruptious.  but a lemony type tone that isn’t lemon you lemon hater out there, will make your nummy scrum meal of the morning sins tasty.

    heh a two hour blog to mention that what a punch in the eye.

     RECOVERY MISSION

    cheesy as this sounds :D I found the cheeses pepperjack,cream and cheddar jack shred
