9:34 am - Vonage
|
I will say, their customer service is useless!
Two phone calls, three emails and still they aren't addressing the problem I'm having with setting the fucking think up.
The installation instructions are:
Modem to Vonage adapter to wireless router.
Problem:
The Vonage adapter needs my PPPoE settings. Fine, I hooked up my computer directly to the adapter to get online. But something about the Mac and Firefox (and Safari) cause their settings website to think that I'm not set up directly to the adapter/that I'm connected wirelessly and thus not allow me to the settings page.
This is the issue I've gone around and around and around with Vonage about. They just aren't understanding that I'm set up per their instructions but can't get to the settings site.
Ok, FINE. I drag out my old Sony laptop and use Internet Explorer, and surprise, I can get to the website!!!
I set the PPPoE information and the adapter starts working. I then hook up the wireless router and... you guessed it, it no longer works! This is the point if I had hair, I'd be pulling it out!
I undo the adapter as Shan needs to log into work.
I'm sure there is someway to make the router work with the adapter, but I'm completely computer illiterate, I have no shame in admitting to that fact.
But I have one idea to try before I say fuck it and call AT&T to have a second landline installed...
I try modem to wireless router and plug the adapter into the router.
And wouldn't you know it... it works. Yup, two days of fucking with settings, getting all annoyed with Vonage and all I had to do was ignore their instructions and do it my own way.

You already suck as bad as AT&T!!! Now waiting for Tier 2 support to call me back. I'm highly unimpressed.

tattooing your shaft HURTS.
OH MY FUCKING GOD! I finally got a decent, not all welty and red, look at the tat this morning.
It fucking rocks!!! I must say, out of the 7 tats, this one is by far the best one so far.
Its about 80% completed. Just one more session in about 2 weeks.
Alas, not enough time to have anything resembling a decent amount of hair growth by the time Dore and Lazybear roll around, but I'm thinking it sooooooooo worth it!
So if you're in the mood for ink and looking for an artist, go talk to Shadow at Gotham.
Greg and Gauge are also excellent artist, but Shadow really impressed me with this tat.
He took my rough drawings and took the design to the next level, far beyond what I had anticipated.
While I sure do miss Mikal from Black and Blue Tattoo, Shadow has taken the style Mikal helped to create and really add his own flare to it.
I already have him thinking about a full back piece (winged lions), but that one will take a year or two to complete. Damn budgets!!!

Now that I've fed my bodies need for drugs and I'm feeling sooooo much better, I've been a busy bear.
New IRA set up.
Doctor appt for Monday is now set up.
Tease kevin_v5
Cancel rarely watched premium tv channels
Cancel rarely used early nights and weekend from cell phones.
When AT&T finally cuts off my employee discount, must find new long distance carrier.

10:42 pm - Uh...???

I was about to get up and pop a percocet.
That CONSTANT stabbing pain, slightly to the left at the base of my skull pain, that I've had every hour since my surgery was hurting...
I'm sitting here, rolling my neck and... CRACK, SNAP!!!
Uh... the pain went away. Not eased up, but 100% GONE.
An odd flushed feeling, almost like the entire left side of my head was congested.
Now 10 minutes later, the pain is easing back.
Let me preface this by mentioning my trip to the headache specialist this morning.
You know, the appointment that took 3 months to get, all the while my addiction to opiate based narcotics had continued to grow.
Anyhow, his suggestion. STOP the drugs... ok, fair enough.
But replace them with 5 other drugs, with a list of 6 alternates. Uh...???
I'm supposed to see my primary doc in a month. I guess time to see if I can get in sooner.
CRAZY!!!

10:42 pm - ARG!!!

They gave Shan a Windows based computer for her new job.
I can't figure out how to get the stupid thing to connect to our network.
Search, it picks up our network as the strongest signal and when you try to connect, it comes back saying Windows is unable to connect to the selected network. The network may no longer be in range. Please refresh the list of available networks and try again.
What the???

12:19 am - Sunday night...
|
After dinner I fell a sleep for about a 2 hour nap on the sofa.
I woke up very groggy and was thinking, "shit, I have to get up early in the morning to FINALLY go see the headache specialist!"
It took about 45 minutes before I realized that its actually Saturday night and not Sunday night.
I hate when that happens!

Big packet of paperwork from Social Security arrived in the mail today.
The insurance company filed the paperwork... there is stuff on it I do not understand.
There is stuff on it that seems wrong. Biggest mistake, while I was out on disability for my foot surgery on 11/29, it is not what I would call the date I became disabled as it says. That would be the date of the brain surgery.
And where they got my mom's phone number as mine, is beyond me.
Guess I have to call the insurance company on Monday.

11:57 am - Ok you marrying people
|
Here are the wedding rules...
1) On the day of a gay wedding, it's bad luck for the two grooms to see each other at the gym.
2) Superstition suggests that, for good luck, the couple should have: Something bold, something flirty, something trashy, something dirty
3) It's customary, at gay and lesbian nuptials, for the parents to have anopen bar during the entire ceremony.
4) Gay wedding tradition dictates that both grooms refrain from eating any of the wedding cake because it's all carbs and sugar.
5) It's considered bad luck for either of the grooms to have dated the priest.
6) During the first dance, it's considered unlucky to use glow sticks, flags, whistles or hand held lasers.
7) For good luck at the union of a drag queen, the bouquet is always thrown in the face of a hated rival.
8) The reception hall must have a disco ball and at least one go-go dancer.
9) The wedding singer is not allowed to play/sing “Let's Hear It For the Boy,” “It's Raining Men,” or “I Will Survive.”
10) The father of the Bottom has to pay for everything !

Better late than never...
The face is slowly recovering. And yes the images are reversed, and I can't figure out why, and I'm too lazy to be bothered with uploading a corrected version. The cheek with the mole is the one that didn't move. You can also tell because the left eye doesn't close very well yet.

Now my left bottom lip is doing the twitch thing. YAY for movement, BOO for annoying!
Too bad its not the top lip, then I could go around in a constant twitch snarl!

I'm not sure if it was finally getting up on the roof and adjusting the antennae for the cell signal booster thingy on the roof or the new hard case for my iPhone with a built in antennae booster, but I went from 2 bars to a full 5 bars in the living room.
I guess the real test will be Shan's phone when she gets back from Sacramento on Friday.
Of course, now that I look out the window, I see that I didn't pull the cable enough, and part of it is hanging in front of the window. Grrrrr
