Now I can really get back to work!

Posted by Random Terrain, in Personal_Stuff 04 February 2012 · 71 views

The nice table I got that rolls up over my La-Z-Boy recliner is a great help, but the size of the recliner has me too far away from my 24 inch monitor, so I've been using the zoom feature in my browser to read most of the time (even...

Thanks to Amazon I can get back to work

Posted by Random Terrain, in Personal_Stuff 12 January 2012 · 198 views

Some time after 2007 (I don't remember what year), I was given a recliner. I wanted to use the recliner as a computer chair, so I took a leaf that wasn't being used from an old drop-leaf kitchen table, attached two pieces of wood to the sides that were a little taller than the arms of the recliner, then put casters on the bottom to make a...

I'm no longer semi-poor

Posted by Random Terrain, in Personal_Stuff 15 October 2011 · 182 views

Although I don't know how long it will last, now I won't have to desperately look for things to sell for food money in the middle of the month and I won't have to choose between supplements and food. I'll also be able to buy a new Xbox 360 game every month if I want to.

I'm not rich, as Americans define it, but I can now buy food that I like...

Whey looks like pus and smells like vomit

I read this back in the late 1980s, but it seems a lot of people still think that whey is a health food. The following Fit For Life II text is from the link below, but I fixed some errors they had in their blog...

DickNixonArisen and his Quest for the R Word

Posted by Random Terrain, in Personal_Stuff 30 July 2011 · 76 views

DickNixonArisen wanted to keep this public so here it is. He was trying to take my post out of context and make it all about rape. Well, here is the full story.


Take a look at this post:

Holy cow! This is great news! I got a PayPal debit card yesterday! Now when somebody donates money at my web site, I won't have to wait 3 to 4 business days for it to transfer to the...

It Must be Lung Trouble Season

Posted by Random Terrain, in Personal_Stuff 24 June 2011 · 50 views

I read a status update not that many days ago about an AtariAge member who had a problem with one of his lungs that was bad enough that he needed to go to the hospital. The thing that happened to me yesterday while mowing wasn't that bad. It was just weird.

Now that I have a mask to wear when I mow, I haven't been getting horrible allergy...

'Gutteral' Woodpecker

Posted by Random Terrain, in Personal_Stuff 26 April 2011 · 61 views

Seems like every spring for the past few years, a woodpecker has been drumming on the gutter at the corner of the house. It looked like a form of communication to me, but I wasn't sure. I finally got around to looking it up today:

Bad News Everyone: My Brain is Not Going to Explode

Posted by Random Terrain, in Personal_Stuff 14 April 2011 · 78 views

Went to the doctor today and he said there's nothing to worry about. The squeezing feeling and headache that isn't quite a headache isn't caused by brain swelling. He said it's post-traumatic headache.

So for those who were...

Back on Tylenol Again!

Posted by Random Terrain, in Personal_Stuff 13 April 2011 · 54 views

I thought my brain swelling problem or whatever the heck it is might finally be over, but I've had to go back on Tylenol again the past couple of days. I don't like the idea of living on Tylenol. I wish the problem would go away and stay away. It's hard to stay awake when that stupid head squeezing pressure headache that isn't...

A person with . . .

Posted by Random Terrain, in Personal_Stuff 02 April 2011 · 55 views

The PC way to talk now is to say "people with" or "a person with." For example, you're not autistic, you're a person with autism. And you're not an 'aspie,' you're a person with Asperger's Syndrome. Here are more examples:

[*]You're not black, you're a person with...

I don't have post-concussion syndrome, so why am I sleepy?

Posted by Random Terrain, in Personal_Stuff 14 March 2011 · 143 views

For at least a week now, I've been tired and sleepy. I can sleep for 6 to 8 hours at night and still want to sleep another 6 or more hours (in a row or in segments throughout the day). I thought the problem might be related to the fall I had in January when I had a slight concussion with the usual temporary...

I finally got to see 3D TV yesterday

Posted by Random Terrain, in Personal_Stuff, TV_and_Movie_Related_Topics 05 March 2011 · 56 views

If you've been to the Ulterior Interior page on my web site, you probably know that I don't see in 3D. The only difference I see when I close one eye is that my field of view isn't as wide. I had glasses that contained 'partial prisms'...

Plastic wrap was better in the 1970s

Posted by Random Terrain, in Personal_Stuff 23 February 2011 · 43 views

According to Wikipedia, there's a good reason why most plastic wrap is completely useless now:

http://en.wikipedia....ki/Plastic_wrap

It was the magical properties of unhealthy PVC that made plastic wrap stick to everything. Plastic wrap was so good back in the 1970s that you could probably rip off a long piece, wrap one end around a tree...

I fell on the ice and got temporary amnesia

Posted by Random Terrain, in Personal_Stuff 13 January 2011 · 90 views

I've only seen characters with amnesia on fictional TV shows and movies, but today I got to experience it for real. It took about 30 minutes to start remembering what happened, then I remembered even more within the next hour or two. Below is what happened to me this afternoon. (By the time I got around to finishing this, it was almost 1 in...

Goodbye batari Basic

Posted by Random Terrain, in batari_Basic_(Atari_2600), Personal_Stuff 30 October 2010 · 40 views

"Goodbye batari Basic" is what I seem to say too many times because of distractions, procrastination, and various other things. This time I got pulled away from the game I was working on by a free download of Fable 2 for the Xbox 360, then I had a tooth pulled almost a week ago (25th of October) and the antibiotics are making me...

Probably Losing Internet for a Couple of Months (Time-Warner Won't Make a Deal)

Posted by Random Terrain, in Personal_Stuff 19 October 2010 · 77 views

Everything got behind because of the car needing to be fixed. Time-Warner wants $273 by the 26th of October and they won't take half now and half on November 1st. They say it's their 'policy' to turn everything off if they don't have what they're asking for by the 26th. Unless something magical happens, I probably...

Change your vibration, change your life (The Law of Attraction)

Posted by Random Terrain, in Personal_Stuff 13 August 2010 · 34 views

I keep hearing how The Secret is just rehashed self-help garbage. Same old stuff that only puts money in the pockets of charlatans instead of improving your life or making you rich. Well, if you live in a country like the USA, there's a good chance that you already are rich. Watch...

Getting excited about Dave & Buster's

I've never been to Dave & Buster's and I might end up hating it, but it looks like I might have some fun there:

From where I live, the closest amusement park is Carowinds. I've been there 3 or 4 times over the years and I always feel like I wasted my money, especially since they don't have a...
