Lost my mom last Sunday morning. She was 92 and had spent a couple months in a rehab home. Instead of getting better more problems were found. It was a blessing, she was in so much pain at the end. Not sure what I'm going to do for internet. I have to drop cable, net, home phone to be able to...

I think I told of getting dental work done early Sept, taking a few years to pay for it. Once that was done I got a BI-V pacemaker put in early Oct, the one I got in 2011 had a bad lead and I'm 100% dependent now. The pacemaker dies, I'm gone. They shut me off a couple beats during surgery to...

Too much happening the last 6 months. Not felt right for many months, been tested for everything. Finally I lead the cardiologist to a problem. I told him my pulse when I check my blood pressure is always 60. Unusual it is that low all the time for me. I have a pacemaker due to a defect that I...

I have been hitting the health club for 4 months now getting some muscle back I have lost since my first heart surgery in early 2011. Since then my muscles had melted away. I have not done leg work for decades due to leg problems. I was starting seated squats on a machine and then just over a...

Just got out of the hospital today. Went in Thursday for an Angiogram. My pacemaker had reported a few times my heart was messing up. Ended up with a stent to fix a blockage in what they call, The Widowmaker. That artery gets blocked and you have a heart attack you will most likely die. Tests...

John originated McAfee Anti-Virus software, but sold out long ago. I have seen a lot about this guy being pretty much bat shit crazy. Recently this video was released. It is NSFW, so if you have sensitive ears and eyes, don't watch it...

The is one of our cats, Ava, at the shelter I volunteer at. She is a calico and shaved due to a skin problem causing some sores. She just got a bath and had time to dry and was brought out wrapped in her Olympic towel. She is being exercised to trim her down. Now she is up to 4 times from...

Damn, I bought this hot new card, 8600 had to be better than the 6850 I was using right, the number is bigger! I was running Crysis 3 on it and the the farking thing POOFED! The caps in pink I replaced the first time it died, hooked it up again and was kicking ass at 1.50 FPS and BANG! A cap in...
