What will be left....

So far it's been shown how long things last by looking at the past monuments to ourselves and others we blamed life's difficulties on. Most things man makes don't last all that long. The pyramids lasted a while but know one knows what they were used for. I can't even keep photos on my computers and on discs for very many years.

So how long do you thing your left over things will survive after your family and friends pick over your things? What if they just hired a business that just filled your things in a bin and haled everything away to a land fill? Not too much of your live would be left. Success in the game of live is how many offspring did you leave behind and how are their families growing.

They you have to wonder how long it will be before your forgotten. Without that headstone to remember you there's not much else for people to remember you by.

I tried storing photos on a back-up hard drive which didn't last very long and lost all info on the drive including the partition. The manufacture said all I had to do was Fdisk it and set new partition and format the drive. I lost 100,000 photos taken over the past 15 years. It was wildlife doing things most people haven't seen before. So, that back-up drive wasn't. I never even got to back-up the back-up drive to disc. So I can't even hang onto photos I've taken when I'm still alive. How will it be after I'm gone? Lost to history like I was never here? I'd sure like to be freeze dried. Then I could be stood up in the corner some place maybe with some of my photos.

Just think of all the written things people have wrote down never to be seen. I've got tons of folders of my writing. I just wonder if there's another Einstein out there that wrote ideas down but so a house could be sold or rented, everything in the house was thrown out.How many great ideas have been tost aside?

I was thinking when I go maybe I could donate my body to a school and have my body freeze dried. Then it could be stored in a big freezer bag and barred in the ground with some concrete placed over the hole I was placed in. There I could remain until the next generation of out planet grow up to where we are now. I'm thinking that climate change will do us all in and most of the life on the planet. I was having a hard time last summer when the temp got up to 105 degrees and above. I wasn't feeling all that great with the high temps. The house wouldn't cool off at night like it used to do before it got this hot. Well will I bake to death because Trump doesn't believe in global warming because it still snows. He was down in San Juan saying that wasn't a real hurricane because at the time only 16 people were counted as dead. What did he do, throw out paper towels. They are still working on getting electricity to people almost a year later.

Watching the report by 36,000 doctors saying Trump is mental ill and are trying to warm the country of the problem because he can't think and acts on impulse. He will do things because others told him not to like the Iran deal and the Paris accord. In 2020 Trump needs to be voted out of office by a 25 to 40 % lead on the American vote. Every thing he's done has been just a con job for the rich. Why he has started 49 corporations, LLC since taking office is against the law to be profiting in office. He wants to put condos in North Korea and see that as a great deal for him. When are people going to see that they voted to get screwed. The laws he talks about are protections for people so you won't get killed by corporations errors and wrong doing. Every thing he's done is to harm the people of the country. Remember his promise for heath care as soon as he's in office and it's going to be so cheap. Well that turn out to be we would let you have access to health care at your cost. If you can't buy it that's too bad. You didn't want it that bad. Where's the jobs, the good jobs he promised. They never showed up. Then he promised he would give you everything you ever wanted all your life for 30, 40, 50 years I'll give them to you. That sure is an empty con promise. Just lies because he's manically ill. He needs to the 25th amendment to take place to remove him.

The day that changed my life

I'm trying to think how old I was standing in the gauntlet to shake his hand. I know I was rather small and my father had to push me through the people so I could be out front. It was the summer before the 1960 election. I didn't know how much that day would effect my life.

It was only a hand shake but he was going to be the president in just a few months. My Uncle Tom Saks an engineer from Ford Motor Company, brought us to this event. I think it was one of the only events like this my father and I every went to. I didn't understand politics just yet and my father was one to read about it in the news paper and comment about everything at the dinner table.

This day also effected my father and he loved telling everyone how he had to bend down with his back back to shake my hand. It was a injury from WWII. He was hurt in WWII and got a Purple Heart like my father did. They both belonged to the D.A.V. I think he had a genetic problem with his back also. I seem to stop the guys from walking down the gauntlet of people and they stopped at me. He bent down and shook my little hand and commented as he stood back up, "Here's a future democrat." It was my hand, not a big deal I'm sure he shook many young peoples hands. All the guys with him and the people around us all laughed. Little did he know how that hand shake would effect me, my life. I believed in fairness to all. Everyone deserved to be treated the same as equals.

Three more years he would be dead and how that would effect me. My father almost took off work so we could drive to Washington for the funeral. It was TV's big moment, Sending a signal across the country so everyone on all the networks could watch and be part of the funeral. I remember kneeling as my mother lead us in the "Rosary." There was so many wet eyes all across the country

It was around this time also did I learn about other people. Why didn't they get treated the same? We were kids playing in the creek with a couple paper cups catching frogs to inspect them and toss them back in the water. It was sort of a bridge a couple pipes that the water went through and a road over the top of the pipes. This was a fourth of July event put on by the vets club my father and many others all belonged to. The Veterans of Foreign Wars, The VFW, they put on a lot of events through the year. They had Christmas doings. All sorts of things like that for the families. Then there was those days where they got together for a beer or two. Jerry Ford would stop by and buy a round or two of drinks for everyone. My mother did Betty's hair where she worked. Was really odd how the grownup got all defensive. It was our fathers and there fathers. Us kids, well we were just kids and didn't see anything wrong catching frogs in the creek. We were laughing and having a great time until the fathers came running down. Us kids were looking at each other as our parent took us back to the picnic area we were at.  We waved at each other as we were pulled along. We didn't say much just waves to our new friends who we were having a great time with until the parents showed up. We were just kids we didn't know that white kids and colored kids couldn't play together. Who made up these stupid rules? We were just kids having fun and that's all that mattered to us. We didn't care about anything else. Just kids playing making friends nothing else.

Grand Rapids, what a wonderful little town. Well, it was growing, slowly. My father would take us on the Sunday drive. I like that driving along the river and listening to my father talk about catching fish and frogs. We would see the mounds of the Native Americans. I thought that was exciting. We would stop at a ranger station and it had all the info on the mounds and the things they have found. I'm still wishing I would have found arrow heads. Just not my luck.

My father would talk about the big ship that used to sail up the Grand River. We had American Seating and they went through a lot of wood. The Catholic School I went to look down into the factory where you heard the saw ad sanders going. The smells of fresh cut wood was always so nice and pleasant to smell.

TV ad.....hernia surgery

I called this one number about hernia mesh but they said I had to have surgery in the last year. I asked them about the different problems I was having and they said yes, that's it, from your hernia mesh. I'll be standing and maybe leaning over the counter when all the sudden I get this pain where my surgery was. It could be on the left or right since I had a double hernia surgery. The first year after my surgery I was having all sorts of problems and didn't know where to turn. I didn't know it was related to my hernia surgery. Well, it's been almost twenty years since the surgery and I'm still having these intense cramps. Guess I'll just have to get used to it. Too late now to do anything about it. Now I'm waiting for emergency back surgery to repair a broken titanium rod. While I wait I'm hoping that the other rod holding my body up won't break and really cause a lot of damage. It's nice to know what's causing these random pains.

All Right it Posted

Yes it posted to the right site.

Testing my Out at Bob's site

So hard to sign into my site because my browser saved my names and passwords. I think this will post to the right spot now that I'm signed on here. I see the picture in the corner has changed. Sure wish that writing program from Microsoft still worked. Then there's the one MIT came up with that really is crazy on how it works. Since every things gone I'll try downloading Windows Live Mail again.

Manual Post

I'm down to manually posting to my blog. I don't know why the software program I've been using stopped working. It ended up on another blog site.

Trump said it all, “It’s all just talk!”

Trump blowing a lot of hot air said it’s all just talk. He doesn’t have any new ideas it’s all just talk. When he’s asked questions he refers to just watch me. So nothing has changed even with Trump, it’s all just talk. A bunch of ideal threats. Empty words. The rest of the republican playing field is a real joke. Why can’t they come up with any presidential material?

Hearing Chaney just gets me how he’s pushing for another war and thinks what he did to Iraq worked out just fine. What world is he on? Where does he get his news? He must have a bunch of yes men around him telling him everything is just fine. Now he wants to go to war with Iran for some crazy ideas. He said that the deal that was worked out between Iran and many other countries and the UN was bad. If this deal doesn’t go through because of some nut cases then many other countries will be wondering why.

If Jeb Bush gets elected then there will be another war. It’s all about getting the oil in the case of Bush’s. Jeb’s got Dad’s friends which will tell him what he has to do just like Chaney told George W. what to do.

made up video trying to hurt

David Daleiden was the asshole that made false videos. David is also in trouble with the law for credit card fraud. He got a credit card in someone else’s name. No telling how far that scam goes. He did have to pay for this project and needed to fly to different places around the county and must have used these credit cards to pay his fraudulent way. I wonder what other laws he been breaking through the years. The videos were filmed using a cheap camera like a cell phone for a camera. The editing also wasn’t don’t very good. It looks like he hasn’t been doing this very much. He most likely used a program that did most of the work for him because it doesn’t look like someone that knows how to use a computer. Still the videos have made an impact to the unaware and dim on the uptake. Someone that couldn’t tell a fraud from someone that wanted to sell them a bridge at a good price. It just amazes me that the republican base are the people who haven’t finished high school. They are the beer drinking confederate flag waving bigots talking about something they no nothing about. They are the same ones saying the earth is only 10,000 years old. They never heard of a light year. They think that’s the year that they only drank light beer. They quote from the bible a book they never read because they never learned how to in school. Extremist are always that way only basing their facts on what they heard from someone or saw on TV in a movie. You know people, people get paid to write scripts and they higher actors to play parts. They aren’t real, it’s make believe. Well, the trailer people have to vote for someone. It’s just amazing that the base of the republican party and who tend to shoot themselves in the foot by the way they vote because they can’t understand concepts. They believe every word off the road of the campaign speeches. The only sure thing they do know is that cars go one way on the race track. It’s amazing how mean some people are. Then to these people are narrow minded. There brain can fit between the width of a match stick they are so narrow minded. Why would someone have to be so mean to take away health care from other people? Maybe it’s a reflection of their mother and her street walking profession and they want to get back at society because of that. Sorry David Daleinden that you were born between a trick.

Staples & Associates subcontractors to PG&E CARE Program

Had a van drive up today with a couple guys in it. They asked me if I could spare 20 minutes to do the weatherizing and energy help for my house. They made it clear that if I didn’t let them do this that I’d be dropped from the CARE program and loose the fridge they said they would give me to replace my 20 plus year old model that was really good for many years and didn’t use much power. Why they kept strong arming me to do their work I didn’t understand. After pushing their way into my house they started casing the place pointing out my electronics devices. As they went into the kitchen the tail lop trips over the only thing on the floor my cat food plate of food and the water bowl on a bright red piece of carpet. I point out all the lights are LED’s. They tell me they need to replace light bulbs with compact florescent bulbs so I don’t loose the care program. I don’t know why I’d want a lesser quality item that uses more power. The living room area has a string of small lights around the ceiling that lights up the room with a nice soft light. It’s perfect to dim for watching movies. With it so hot I keep the doors and windows closed during the day. When they came in they left the doors open. I had to close the screen door to keep the bugs out but by that time they had gone into the kitchen. I really hate people coming into my house to see the items I have. I don’t know what type of record these guys have and don’t know what type of people this company hires. They could have drug habits and never get tested at work. They are just subcontractors to PG&E which I’ve had to deal with on other matters. I finally had to have a PG&E supervisor come out to see the problem before I had it resolved. So I know PG&E doesn’t check on the subcontractors employees. They just hire a company and fire them if they don’t work out and don’t have any liability to the subcontractors only the subcontractor can be held liable for any thing.

So the guys walk into the bathroom it takes two guys to look at everything. I’m guessing the little guy the Asian guy was the one that pointed the big lop in the right direction and tells him what to do. Twenty minutes had turned into 30 minutes and nothing was done. When they looked at the bathroom and the shower head they said this is fucked up. It’s a piece of shit. We can’t install anything here except this hose thing with a shower head on the end. Fine I said do the work. Take care of it. I pointed out if they break a pipe they fix it and that would be rather costly. The pipes in the wall are steel and are 70 plus years old. The little guy said all we can do is put the hose on the pipe coming out of the wall. go head, start working. But we can’t. Why not. you said you’d be here 20 minutes and it’s a half hour later and you haven’t done a thing. But we can’t… So I asked let me talk to your supervisor. He tells me that he doesn’t have a signal. So I handed him a phone. He told me he can’t call him. Then ran out of the house with the lop behind him. Why they asked me to see the water heater and never went to check that while we were outside at first I just don’t understand. For workers that came out to do a job they sure came up with a lot of excuses why they couldn’t do the job. I tried to get the supervisors number but they wouldn’t give it to me. As far as that goes I don’t even know the names of the two guys because they never told me or gave me a chance to see an I.D. and write down there names and I.D. numbers and the company name. I had to call PG&E first to get the name of the company. Why they lied to me about trying to call me and said they couldn’t get a hold of me was a real joke. I talked to one person and they asked me if I was going to be home on Tuesday. This is Wednesday. I did find Staples & Associates on the web. The Sacramento area number is; 916-771-4280 the number of the main office for Staples doing the CARE program is in Bakersfield 888-324-0930. They are in a few state so here’s the URL to their site; http://staplesenergy.com/contact-us/

Listening to the Greek deal.

I can’t believe what the world banks call help these days. I guess you need to blame it on capitalism. Greece gets billions of Euros just to pay the banks they just got the loans from. They don’t see a dime of it, that money goes directly to the banks making them the loans. The people of Greece that depend on social program still have the big cuts as far as I heard. People that depended on money to live still are looking for help. The austerity programs are still in effect.

Capitalism leads to many things. It leads to greed and poor people and super rich. It leads to homeless people because they can’t afford to live. Many people have to drive hours to work because they can’t afford to live where they work. People seem to become mean and treat other countries unjust like Greece is being treated. Germany forgets how it was bailed out after World War II. Germany forgets how the loans it got were forgiven so the country could flourish. If that wasn’t done they still would be paying off the loans from post WWII.

What if Germany was divided up to all the countries that it effected during world war two? Then we would never had the Berlin wall because there wouldn’t have been a Germany to divide up then. We might not have had the cold war like it was because Germany had been split up and given to all the surrounding countries. Sure there would be the left over Germany people but they would belong to new countries. Then like the capitalist way we sell off all the antiquities of Germany and make many parts of the country into an amusement park.

Now the world is cutting up Greece. Who needs a war when you have a bank.

Why is General John Allen supporting Isis?

Those generals of the Bush era are still around. They were the ones telling everyone Iraq was a cakewalk. Allen was the one that got some sort of deal with Turkey to bomb the Kurds so that we could use bases in Turkey. It also makes a no fight zone so that Isis can get resupplied. The Kurds were going to kick the crap out of Isis until Turkey bombed the Kurds. They were setup to block off the supply lines when Turkey start bombing the Kurds. Why do we still have those left over generals that screwed up in Iraq running around making deals and policies.

ISIS Benefits As Turkey Bombs Kurdish

I thought it was just me but I see a few others have noticed that bombing the Kurds isn’t a good idea. Why they are bombing the best fighters against Isis is just stupid. It was good that pulled out the anti missile defenses from Turkey. I don’t know why Turkey is so against the Kurds. They are attacking them in several countries and not doing anything about Isis.

I hear there are many people and generals that want to get rid of Allen before he really screws things up. I don’t know why those generals got to stick around after Iraq. They sure blew it there. Jed has all those blowhards hanging around in the wings. Don’t need any of those neocons back in office again. They proved what they can do and cost the country so much.

Poor actions for the people

Putin dumps food and dairy into a landfill to protest the EU’s sanctions on Russia. Did he think about the people of Russia and how they need the food and he’s wasting all that food to try to prove a point. So what was the point? How did you gain something other then paying for food and the putting it in a land fill. So what did you gain? So how did the Russian people gain from this action? All you did was waste food that the people of Russia would have gladly taken. It was a waste all around. Nothing gained. No point made. Just a waste of food.

Where did it go and who let it be taken before it was inspected by scientist and criminalist.

Everyone say all the trucks coming and going on the clean up of the twin towers but who was minding the store? Who was paid of to look the other way when the steel was taken off and recycled in a criminal based recycling yard. All the steel was suppose to be brought to one yard where investigators were going to inspect the steel to see what it failed. It was gone and made into other things or just lost where no one could find it since it was blended with other steel that was being recycled. The crime scene was gone except for a few parts. Most of the steel had been stolen. Talk to those Sopranos type people for taking it.

People in the pocket. People had to be paid off to look the other way. No one seem to know where the steel went or who took it. How could that much steel disappear? Graft! People and connections and pay offs made the steel disappear.

Why wasn’t this looked into and why didn’t anyone go to jail? They all were paid off, that’s the way of that type of crime. Not only are the cops on the take but judges, and inspectors and everyone along the line had been paid off so that a crime family could make millions and millions. Still no on has bothered to look into where the steel went. No one even the press didn’t bring this to any ones attention. Not even a single soul went to jail of this. Now that’s where crime really pays because the criminal are in all levels of government.

Doesn’t it make you wonder where all the steel went from the twin towers. There could have been trace chemical on the steel which some people in the government didn’t want people to find. They didn’t want to find out why the steel got so hot that it was melting and burning. There are many YouTube videos talking about the chemical used to melt the steel and how it was put into the building and that people high up in the government knew it was there and they wanted to get rid of the twin towers and collect the insurance on the building because they would make more if terrorist had destroyed them. Makes you wander who all is in this web of criminals. Someone wanted these towers to come down to make a case for war with Iraq. Something Bush had a map of in the Whitehouse the first weeks of moving in. He was planning on how he could get a war started with Iraq according to one senator that saw the maps. George was so happy to point out all the oil fields and which one could increase the amount of output. Was Chaney and Bush using this even just as a public demonstration of what needed to be done and how everyone was manipulated it to voting for a war with Iraq. Rumsfeld is still digging through the desert looking for weapons of mass destruction. What a joke that was.

What is even ore sick is the people that believe that weapons of mass destruction were found based on nothing but gossip and a twisted vey of what the republican party is all about. It’s about imperialism and nothing more plus a few people made off with billions of US dollars that seem to get lost like the steel. Why had Obama chickened out on prosecuting the people of the conspiracy. I imagine he was paid off too not to look into it. The republicans look at Bush as a black chapter in history and one of the worst president the country has every had.

Then all the no bid contract all given to Chaney ex-employer no questions asked and no prices quoted for work.

Why do republican votes vote the way they do. It’s because they are simpletons. When a republican says he’s going to create jobs votes believe them. They just don’t tell them which country the jobs are going to be created in but they won’t be here. The votes have been told unions were a bad thing even though they were the way standards of living were gauged and set in other industries. So the voters were told to vote them away and when their jobs cut or they are ask to give up all there retirement and take a wage cut of 50% to keep there jobs they blame the wrong people they aren’t blaming themselves for voting all this in to destroy their life.

Remember Regan was an actor playing the part of a president.

New Life, the babies of the forest

It’s been a great time here seeing the new life coming forth. From the little black kitten that joined our family. To all the little babies that have been coming around with their proud mothers showing them off to me. I just saw a old deer friend tonight and she looks a bit thinner. I didn’t see the babies but I’m sure Momma Girl had her babies. There are other mothers having a hard time biting their butts because they are so pregnant. It’s been really hot here and the cherry’s are just about gone. The birds have gotten them. The turkey have been spending the days under the canapé of the forest. There’s an old road that was used before they put the power lines in that I keep clean. It was made some time around the turn of the century, that’s the 1900’s. I like walking along the old road and checking out the forest flower. The oak tree leaves cover the ground in parts of the forest and in other areas it’s nothing but pine needles. There are these reddish blue clover growing in many areas unique to that spot in the forest. There are some flower that look like they are backwards. The peddles point back while the pestles point forward. There is a unique bee that just pollenates that flower. There are so many pollinators in the forest besides the European Honey Bee. The other day I noticed a tree with flowers on it and bumble bees flying all around it. Under the bushes the deer like to lay down and rest and get out of the heat of the day. The bur clover are winning in many areas but I’ve turned to pulling them out by hand. A weed whacker just plants the seeds. It removes the plants but it removes all the plants that’s why I turned to weeding by hand. So far it’s been a lot of work but I’ve seen so many tiny plants under the tops of the small plants.

Here’s one plant that is just a couple inches tall that lives under the small plants. I don’t know what this is called but I’ll have to look it up. There was a real good web site I used to go to to find plants but it’s seems to be gone now. It was one of the best plant sites I have been to. It had great pictures of the plants. It gave you the Latin name and history along with the native American name and common name. In the Native American name it told you what it was used for and how it was used. I’d like to find out what the name is for the type sage I have growing because it brings in the Tiger Swallow Tail Butterflies. I haven’t seen them fly to any other plant but these sage plants with a bright red flower. The flower is too bright and covers a wide spectrum of light and doesn’t photograph like you see it.

 

Mrs. Pinky and her two babies.

The Big Bird, the leader of the group of 12 birds.

Mom and baby taking in the sights.

Look how pregnant my deer friend is. Her daughter looks so much like her and so does her son with the tiny antlers. Her older son by a couple years is growing a real large set of antlers this year. They look so much like his grandfathers antlers. Genes are amazing watching them being handed down from generation to generation. I’m so glad I’ve taken close up photos of all the deer's faces to see in the different families. It’s also amazing to see that wildlife expresses emotions. I’ve seen happy and sad faces. Young deer have friends they like to play with and they are so happy being with their friends.

Snap, crackle, pop, neck crunches.

Neck has been making a lot of noise and pinching off my nerves and spinal cord. They say a picture tells a thousand words and this photo sure does. Hate to think I’ll be going through the same thing ass my lower back and need surgery to correct what’s wrong.I guess I’ll have to give up looking around.

 

What will it take to put me back together and what will I be able to do after that.

Another grateful day in the forest.

My forest friends are on the porch and one is so tired. Little Miss Pinky is laying on the walkway sleeping. She is a wonderful raccoon who had three babies this year. She was born to Mrs. Nippers and her four other babies a couple years ago. I have to over turned stackable containers on the porch and the skunks will find their ways under them to rest and sleep. I’ll just see a tip of a tail sticking out.

My hands are dry from pulling weeds. There’s two type I mainly pull out. The bur clover and the weed that is related to carrots but has burs also.When I’m pulling weeds I pull up the tangled mess on the ground. The other day when I stepped out of the car I started pulling bur clover at me feet. I pulled more and more until I was near the sage plants. I don’t know what type of sage they are yet. I’m pulling up the bur clover growing up to and under them. I don’t want to take a chance with weed killer and not get the sage.

I have to cut down the thistles. There was several of them by the cherry tree and the path leading into the creek. I pulled the other weeds on the path to keep it clear for the deer coming out of the creek.

I was rubbing Tiggers belly, she really likes that when I found a could burs. I worked them out and continued rubbing her when I found a bmp in her hair. It wasn’t like a bur, closer to the skin. Sort of like knotted hair which I worked out and placed into an ash tray.When I looked closer it was a black tick. Flat and with wiggly little legs. I took a flame to it to make sure it wasn’t going to be crawling out. ticks are so tough, you can pinch them and the shell doesn’t break. They are tough like flees. I haven’t found many of these this was the first tick on Tiggers. I seen a tick on one of the skunks and a tick on Pinky’s ear. She really went to town on her ear and even split her ear really getting the tick out which was fat and sticking out. It’s legs couldn’t grab her ear so her head was the only thing latching on to her.

There was wet ground this morning at day break when I came out to feed the kitties. I found out later Mrs. Nippers was sleeping all day under the porch on the bed. I made a small frame with padding and carpet that sets above the ground so they would stay warm and dry. After making some noise on the floor of the porch Nippers woke up and walked off. Tiggers and Sprockets were checking out the little black male kitten. It didn’t want anything to do with them and let out a scream, Stay back she cried. When he saw me the mode changed and it was now a calm meow to me. Friend she meowed to me. I meowed back and she came up to me where I had a plate of Friskys and cry cat food waiting. The poor kitty is so scared because of the Rusty cat that attacked him a couple months ago. Ever since then he’s been apprehensive about other kitties.

I brought out a couple more scoops of dry food and a can of beef in gravy for the back porch. Everything was almost gone. There’s more food on the front porch for the night shift. I check the kitties, they were all sleeping on the side deck peacefully. I’m going to see if I can train them this summer to come in the house. I’ll do this slowly and let them come in at their own speed. I feel so sad for them in the winter time when it gets cold. I do have heating pads to keep them warm.

Well, another day comes tomorrow bright an early at 5 AM. Coffee and maybe oat meal before I step outside. So night to see my happy kitties in the morning. I’ll check to see if Nippers is sleeping on the bed. Buddy Kat has been sleeping in the cartons to stay out of any weather. Weeding calls for me tomorrow along with maybe some tools.

Not back all hunched over. Knee is in pain. Hip is in pain. Screws in hip from spine are pulling out. Neck feels like a spike stabbed into it. All en all I’m doing pretty good but slow.

Windows 10: I can’t believe it

Well, like many other people I’ve been trying to get the Windows key to work along with the Start Button to get to my “Apps” or programs. Apps sounds so much like using a phone I’m using a computer to do work. So I’ve tried so many of the things I’ve read online. Mainly the ones from the people from Microsoft but nothing has worked. Everything I’ve tried didn’t do anything. They said make more accounts because your account is bad. All that did was put a bunch of accounts on the machine. Tried this one line of script for Powershell but it doesn’t work in the normal Powershell version 1. I used the does prompt and typed in Powershell and at the beginning of the line it had a PS. I put the line of script there and it ran this time but didn’t do anything. I could see a bunch of program names going by but no help with the Windows Start Key or Start Button. I had been making short cuts on the desktop to run the programs I wanted to run but the screen was now getting cluttered.

Today I tried using the Windows 10 install disc to repair the computer. Don’t believe when it says that it won’t harm and of your files. It deletes all the programs you have installed and leaves you with the broken Start Button problem still.

I’m getting ready to install Windows 10 again to see if that solves the problem. I’m still having a problem with Windows 7 running. I spent 6 plus months trying to solve the endless repair loop problem. I’ve reinstalled Windows 7 from the Dell segment of the drive that has the Windows 7 program but it still came up with the same endless repair loop. I think I’ll have to “BUY” the Dell Driver Disc to do a proper Windows 7 install because Dell programs don’t work right. I did a back up of my drive even bought a large hard drive to put all my programs on. What did Dell’s back up program do? It backed up everything to the drive then formatted the drive. Why did the back up program have that in the program. Why do you need to format the drive? Well it did then tried to restore the files but the backup program doesn’t work and couldn’t restore all the programs it just wiped off the drive. What ever you do don’t depend on Dell’s backup program because it doesn’t work. You will loose everything. There’s no way of viewing the files either they are just numbered files of different sizes. So you don’t know what they are. Use a real backup program that lets you pick files out to restore. Not a program that works or it doesn’t.

It’s really amazing when you compare Windows to Linux. Other then you can’t run many of your Windows programs on Linux it never fails. There is a program called Wine that allows you to run Windows programs in Linux. I’ve tried some small program and they work fine. If I can get larger programs to work then I’ll scrap Windows all together. There is someone building a Windows like operating system that does everything Windows does without it being Windows. It’s a version that looks like Windows NT. If that works as good as Windows I’m switching.

I installed Skype or it was in Windows 10. Then I noticed it was gone. I did some updates and it removed Skype all together. I didn’t like the Windows 10 version of Skype. It was real hard to get to your people list to call anyone.

The last couple days I’ve noticed the Reader program which was suppose to read PDF files stopped working. You just get a big square on the screen that says Reader on top.

I’m using my little XP computer to write this with the Writer program that comes with Windows Live. I had it all setup on Windows 10 for all the blog sites I have accounts to. I’ll have to set them up again since doing the Refresh PC wiped out all my programs I had installed even though it says it’s not going to do anything to your programs. Still have the problem where I can’t get into the program menu. I just might try installing Windows 7 again and make it a dual boot to Windows 10. When Windows 10 runs out in October 15, 2015 I’ll still have Windows 7 to fall back on. If you watch many of the videos about Windows 10 they are saying we are building this for you. We are taking all you comments and putting them into Windows 10. I wonder if anyone asked to have a working operating system?

What’s wrong with Windows???

I should say what is right about Windows. Microsoft had to give a free version of Windows 10 so that it would get into peoples hands because no one was buying the product. They had less then a 10% of the market with the new versions of Windows. That includes Windows 7, Windows 8.0, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.  The people at Microsoft have to be rather ashamed to say they work there. I’d be embarrassed to say I worked there with products like Windows coming out and it have so much wrong with it.  It’s almost like it was half done being developed and they released it. The idea that they would fix it along the way is just a poor excuse for any of these products.

Linux is free and never crashes, doesn’t work or is falling apart like Windows does. Linux works from the first time you boot it up. All the programs work too. They have a depository with tens of thousands of programs to download. Linux is so good Apple bought a version of it and made it their own. Mac sales are doing fine. I was watching Ely the computer guy on YouTube and he’s got a Mac now and loves it. He said why should I spend all this time fixing my computer when I can just turn on my Mac and it works.

So, what’s wrong with Microsoft? How can they get away with selling broken products? Will Microsoft drive every one away from buying any of their products when you can get a free operating system that works and has everything you need? Linux sure is putting Microsoft in a run for the money. Paying a hundreds for a program that needs patches and service discs and updates all the time is just crazy when you can get something that works first time and all the time.

Myself I like this version called Knoppix Linux that comes as a ISO file and you make up a DVD. It’s a real great disc and has everything. I’ve used it many times to help fix Windows. I still haven’t been able to fix Windows 7. It’s stuck in a endless repair loop. The error code it gives me is, “some things wrong with it booting up.” That’s like saying the sky is blue. Not a lot of help. I don’t feel along because I’ve found so many web sites talking about this error. Windows 10 was my fall back operating system and was working until a few days ago when the Start Button and Windows Key stopped working along with the Search Box and that Catena voice thing. I read that Microsoft knows about this problem and has known about it since January. Seems with all those programmers up there they would get someone on this problem. That should be a priority. When you can’t get at your programs to run them that should be a a real important problem to fix. All I have found as far as fixes is people taking shots in the dark on blogs. Microsoft doesn’t know how to fix it. Their best guess was make another account and see if that fixes it. What that has done for me was now I have two accounts that don’t work.

State of the Union, GOP future: to Spank the Monkey

The Republicans say no to everything the nergo president has to say. No tax cuts for the poor and middle class. They say, we need tax cuts for the job creators. we know that doesn’t work because it never worked in the past. GOP reply, yes people are working harder and longer for less because the job creators are keeping all the money and not giving raises to the workers. Corporations are not people! Corporations are not dedicated to the country but to the share holder. They could give a rats ass what happens to the country a long as the congress persons they bought and paid for give them tax breaks and special monopoly deals. When the price of computers are coming down but the price of communication keeps going up. Why because congress is paid off to let the telecoms fix prices. There’s no competition in the telecoms. There’s too few telecoms. We need to take a lesson from the E.U.’s play book and control the pipes and rent them out to the many telecoms. This would let start up telecoms to get started with little money. In United Kingdom there are over 400 telecoms renting pipes from the government. Speeds are higher for less money per month. Would be nice to have USB 2.0 speeds for $6 to $8 dollars a month. A 1GB city for less then $20 dollars a month. There are third world countries with higher speeds then what we have. Look at the people living on a dollar or two a day who can afford to have cell phones in those third world countries. Why do their prices come down while ours are fixed by the telecoms to get the highest prices and not the highest amount of service.

Bitch McConnell plans on attacking the EPA saying that the EPA is too complex with all it’s laws, it just makes my head spin. He doesn’t say that his wife needs to sell that crappy coal that can’t burn here. So Bitch McConnell wants to change the standards and lower them so there can be higher pollution. He doesn’t care about the center of the country he lives in Washington dirty air doesn’t bother him.

Inhofe has a super fund site sitting there waiting to be cleaned up so the native Americans can have their land back after all the lead has been taken out of the ground and polluted the water ways. The water ways are left without birds or fish because of the toxic lead mess. Houses are falling in sink holes. Well, they aren’t really sink holes but falling into the mine below that is now flooded. Before the mine closed they said they would fill the mine with all the tailings thus solving the tailings problem but they said no we can sell the tailing for making roads but the tailing were full of lead dust and can’t be used. So, while they were playing hide the bone the mines filled up with water and now they are inexcusable. They tailings are miles high and go one for miles blowing lead dust every where. They had to move all the people out of many of the towns because of the health hazard and because they are sinking into the mines. What a nice republican lead state. Now they are also having earth quakes because of all the hydraulic fracturing being done.

Texas is also having earth quake swarms too because of all the hydraulic fracturing. If Texas cleaned up the state and scraped the top layer of soil off they would have years of tar sands to refine. Many of the costal cities are facing a rising sea level. They need to build a wall or move the city inland. It’s amazing how those southern states manipulate the people to get the mindless inline to play follow the leader down the rabbit hole. Too bad the rabbit hole is a road to hell.

If you want to watch a country go down hill then look at the death of NASA. Every year they keep getting the budget cut. Texas has a half built linier accelerator that congress pulled the plug on. It would have been as big or bigger then CERN but congress had no vision. They wanted a quick buck and got Glass/Stegal act repealed and a few years later the country was bailing out the banks just like several people predicted would happen. The last budget congress didn’t learn from last time after the Glass/Stegal act was repealed and the banks crapped out. AIG insured all the losers and needed to get a bailout. All the car companies needed help to stay afloat. Still they aren’t building the cars of the future but what we have in left over parts.

If NASA would doubled or tripled it’s budget that would bring jobs to the country that can’t be exported. We are not doing anything but low earth orbit stuff. No plans to go to the moon. No moon base plans. Mars is way off. The people going to mars haven’t been born yet unless we get in gear and start doing some science. The spinoffs from NASA was always big business and we sure could use them now. All the people that have been coming here to learn and now returning home and excelling past our country leaving us in the dust.

So, what are the republicans going to do? Are they going to crash the economy and show those democrats how it’s done? People forgot Bush and Chaney who make Nixon look like a Boy Scout. While Bush was in office I kept saying to myself they are going to burn out the country. They are doing this on purpose too. They know they rapping the country and don’t care.

So what are those sneaky republicans going to do? Close down the EPA? Go after the money in Social Security? They can’t stand it all that money just sitting there set aside for the people but they want that money to feed the rich. What would be good to do is get rid of the Federal reserve bank and Nationalize it. Screw those rich people that own the bank. Just make a cut off and nationalize the bank. That’s a heavy stone tied around the neck of the country and it’s setup so that we can never pay the bank back and come down to a zero balance. The banks owners are living off the interest and count on it. That’s why we need to get rid of the bank by nationalizing it.

What is the media talking about?

The cover picture or toon on Charlie Hebdo is just a stereo typical Arab not a profit. When you think Arab it looks like the cover toon. Looks more like Bin Ladin then anyone and he wasn’t a profit. What if the so called profit was a few hundred pounds and not a skinny typical Arab? There isn’t any picture or drawing of the profit so no one can get mad about and drawing because the drawing is just a drawing of a stereo typical Arab. I don’t know what the media is talking about, it’s a cartoon of a rag headed person with sheets on. Doesn’t look like anyone I’ve ever saw before not even in a picture or drawing. It really gets me how the media is making such a big deal about the cover page after the terrorist attack. With the same logic of the media you can look at a happy face and say that looks like George Bush. Sponge Bob sort of looks like Chaney doesn’t it? Maybe it was his lawyer friend that he shot in the face, before he shot him in the face.
