On the plus side, I received my water bill today: only $35

Wolfie has been missing in action these past few days.

His computer has died again.

It was probably eaten by the roaches.

Or Monty pawned it.

His computer had another hiccup, probably choked on all the porn.

But, on Saturday I will be going up to his place and installing a replacement Hard drive and a replacement DVD drive as well. He should be back up and running by 13:00 pacific time.

Then you can blame me again for all of his new posts.

Be careful what you wish for..... you may just get it.

Thanks for your efforts, Ken. Updates from Mac are always interesting.

Ken came up and replaced my hard drive but, Safari, my only browser, still isn't working. My Microsoft word isn't working either. Ken thinks it must be something else wrong.

I'm currently using the computer at the phone store but, as they charge $3.00 per hour and I have limited funds, I won't be here often.

It looks like I may be offline for several weeks to a few months

I miss you, you miserable old fart.



Heres a present

Don't public libraries allow for free internet access?

Yesterday, Saturday.

I drove up to Mac's place and replaced his HDD and DVD drive after a quick test of his system I saw it was working. After that I left and came home, I gave him a call and he has stated that his computer is doing the EXACT same thing it was before I changed his HDD. I really think he has something more going on in side it.

He is running a 17" LCD iMac with 1gig of ram and an 80 gig HDD I've got more or less the same computer here, I installed the OS on a fresh HDD and took it up to make this a quick change, I had done this about 6+ months ago and all was good.

I really dont know what else I can do for him.

If anyone here has an idea I'm open to it, however its a 150+ mile round trip for me.

Many (most?) public libraries also ban places like this, as it's an adult site.

It may be that we need to take up a collection for him, to try and get him a replacement Mac off of eBay or the like. Something to get him back online before he loses what few marbles he has left.

If a collection was to be taken up for him, and another computer was to be purchased for him, I will help as much as I can. I will put it together and set him up once again.

I thought things were looking up yesterday when I figured out how to get into the chat room but now I don't have that anymore

I tried to reinstall my OS X system last night with disasterous results:

1. The OS X wouldn't install because of errors.

2. I can't get the install program to quit.

3. I've lost viusuals of my HD and IRCle so no more chatroom

Ken_SD came to see me and fixed my computer

Actually, he gave me his iMac

I've been reading a lot on insulin lately and am seriously considering asking my doctor to switch me from the oral medication, Glipzide, to insulin. This is assuming my Medi-cal covers both the insulin and the syringes.

I'm thinking this will enable me to better control my blood sugar. ATM, I can't seem to keep mine below 180.

Any thoughts from Paolo or other fellow diabetics would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Mac, you are what you eat it is just that simple.

Watch your carbs, no sugar, quit smoking and drinking, lots of greens, remember if a rabbit will eat it so can you.

OH yes, take off some weight.

This of course coming from a person who is fat, eats junk food and loves sweets.

Its all about diet and good luck.

I work with a diabetic, he once said that potatoes are really bad for blood sugar levels

Well, I like my weight. 214 pounds at 6' 2" tall.

I don't drink but I do smoke.

I tend to eat fast food out of necessity. If I buy groceries (healthy food) I only get a portion of what I buy as my roommates get it. If I buy fast food, I get it all.

I have 4 rabbits now so have some basis to argue with River on this. Every morning, each gets a piece of bread. They all look forward to this and generally will finish it before doing anything else. The carbs give them energy to stay warm. They do get apples, bananas, pears, beans, lettuce, carrots, which is OK for us humans but they also eat alfalfa hay, rabbit pellets and dried corn on the cob which I would would not choose to eat myself given any alternatives to starving. Rabbits also have an interesting habit of eating some of their own waste. And I would not recommend that you eat any rabbit poop but if you must, I certainly have plenty if you want to try it.

I've thought about getting a rabbit, I watch youtube videos of them from time to time, they're so cute

The only rabbit variety I'd want to adopt is the Playboy Bunny type

That was in reference to eating less fat and more greens. I know about rabbits, we raised them at one time, cute little critters. New Zealand Whites, tastes just like chicken. Also raised Rex. Belonged to the local Warren group, rabbit shows.

Have you ever tried to race a rabbit eating a carrot?

Last night I pulled a real lulu.

Liz found me an open end table for my couch which wasn't bug infested. My old one was enclosed. She put the old table in the dining room. Last night as I got up to 'drain the lizard', I ran into the end table with my kneecap - OUCH

Thats the same kneecap I broke into several pieces in 1982.

Brilliant move huh

I limped al day today. I must have looked as OLD as River

This was a funny lapel button I found

Liz's sixteen year old daughter, Jeanette, has been missing for almost three days now. She's called here twice but was in tears and hung up suddenly. Tomorrow morning, Liz will call the cops and report her missing.

I fear she was grabbed by a pimp and drugged or worse
