3 times a charm - this time the archos tablet works and i have 2 more weeks to break it. sears called and let me know that the billing address on my bank card is three years out of date. they thought i was a thief sending it to florida instead of northampton where i used to live.

so i may get the galaxy tab in a week or maybe less if they feel guilty about it. meanwhile am loading videos on the card to watch on the archos!

Not today (Friday), but yesterday.

Left Baton Rouge for home and made it safely.  No electricity (see Random observation thread)

Heavy police presence on the street where I was working today kept the hooligans at bay.  At first I was a bit worried as I had to park the van and trailer across two handicapped spots and the cops in New Haven can be assholes but they were not interested in me what so ever

The street is a major drug dealing area,  yesterday it was crazy with all the people there.

It's a good thing your ears were unblocked or you would have shown up for work on the 7th day.

  And that would have sucked!  :laugh:


  It's about 2:30 a.m., I've just unwrapped and re-treated my cut thumb, and it's already beginning
  to heal.  I have added more Neosporin and bandages.  It should be fine in a few days.  8)

I made coffee. That's a very good thing.

What did you do to it? Just a wee cut, or the big stuff?

  Well, it looks OK now, but it was a fairly deep cut that left a flap!  :orly:

This happened yesterday but met up with one of my dearest friends that I've known for 30+ years and his wife who I adore. They hosted a bbq/campfire at a friend's farmhouse. Kids and I went for the evening and had the best time. We were so relaxed, laughed a ton, ate until we were nearly bursting, went bug hunting in the fields, picked tomatoes and potatoes, played with glow sticks, roasted marshmallows etc. So much fun. And it turns out 2 of the guys who were there were talking about having a retro video game night (that is son's aspie obsession) and they invited him out. Two positive male role models (one being my best friend I mentioned earlier, the other a friend of his) taking my not so little guy under their wings and accepting him and making him feel valued and welcomed was a huge deal for me. It really boosted his self confidence.  :2thumbsup:

My arm wound is healing, still a kinda bifurcated hole though, left in the arm. Approx 1x1  width/depth. Still hurts like blases though.I'll be damn glad when I get my meds tomorrow (not to mention inc. chlormethiazole to prevent seizure/myoclonus) Glad the former is healing.

On the latter....I have concerns.  On the one hand, chlo(r)methiazole works fucking brilliantly. not one myoclonic episode since, barely any muscle twitching.  On the other...a terminal chloroalkane? shit, that wouldn't have got any further than a saturation binding radioassay if I were the one looking. That STINKS of alkylating agent. AKA either cancer or oldish antineoplastic agent. Not a fucking sleeping pill/antiseizure drug/detox med for pissheads!
