Cold

January 10th, 2010 VanGuard No comments

It has been freezing here for the past week or so. Which at this point has frozen the pipes and we now have no hot water. Let me tell you, sponge baths are not my thing. Hopefully the water will kick on and I can take a nice hot shower.

Stolen Number

September 19th, 2009 VanGuard No comments

This morning my mother told me her Verizon pre-paid cell phone was not working. Every time she tried to dial out it would not work and told her to contact support. She handed the phone to me to see if I can do anything. I tried restoring the phone to factory settings hoping that would. Now it is saying I do not even have a number! What?

I tried calling their pre-paid phone support and it kept telling me to input the cell phone I was calling about. I do so and I was then told by the computer that there is no record of this number. WHAT!? Then was told to go to a url link to activate the phone which also said the same thing. After an hour of dealing with this I called the Sales number and was greeted by a lovely lady who did her best to help me and transfered me to… the same number was given me problems. This number required a Verizon number to work and since my mother was apparently not working it would not take me through.

I called a second time and I did my best to explain the problem and about the working/non-working info and he transfered me to a live tech who got on the line a few minutes later. I explained again what happed to this lady and she told me that there is a record for that number but yesterday (09-18-2009) that someone called up and deactivated the phone and the number. I am not sure if they transfered the cell number because after she told me this I was kind of upset and not paying attention. So, we go through the process of of reactivating the phone with a new number since I can not get the old one back. So someone took the number and now we are out money because we still had time on the phone.

All in all the people were nice but getting to a live person is hell and took longer then I think necessary. I am not sure who called but who ever did are assholes. >.>

Murder in my town.

July 18th, 2009 VanGuard No comments

My mother called me from her work today telling me that several police cars where at her job. That her job was telling her if she spots anyone she does not know to tell someone. She also said several people were murdered.

I was going through some news sites and found some news about the murders. Very scary for a town that is not use to it.

On a bright side. Some stray kitten came onto our porch. Fed it some food and milk. Hopefully it stick around and my other cat does not run him off.

Lack of Sleep

May 23rd, 2009 VanGuard No comments

I have been having some wisdom teeth problems on my right side for some time now. The pain seems to come and go every few days. I need to go to a dentist and have them removed but that will be very expensive. I had my bottom left one removed and it cost 900 dollars. Yeah, the guy said he took payments then when we received the first monthly bill it was 300 dollars. They never told us that it would be that high and they told us before the surgery that the payments were reasonable. Yeah right.

I have not been sleeping well for the past few weeks. I normally go to bed around 10:00 pm but now I am staying up from 12:00-2:00 am. The only thing that is getting me to sleep is pain pills and orajel. I have been saving for a new computer and now I am going to have to forgo those plans. I will have to spend every cent I have to get surgery on my wisdom teeth. Expensive beyond what I can afford right now. I woke up few days ago shouting that I need to find a wife who has family dental insurance. :) -bats eyelashes- ladies .. ladies? Hey.. where you going… :(

Ouchie

March 23rd, 2009 VanGuard No comments

I was getting tired so I decided to rest a bit while I watch tv.  So while watching tv I hear kids snicker then a loud bang on my window.  Not sure what was thrown but I went out to check. I climbed the ladder and I was going for the third step when I hear a crack and next thing I know my shin is hurting and I am on the ground. I checked and ouchies. shin Kind of a fussy picture but it hurts and stings.

Repo Man

March 5th, 2009 VanGuard No comments

Today I heard a knock on the door.  Apparently it was the repo man wanting my brothers jeep.  They found the wrecked jeep.  My brother did owe money on it an do to reasons could not meet the payments but the bad thing is.  My mother put her paid off car on the lean to help my brother out.  They also took her car from her work.  Not informing her at all so she could get everything out.  So now they have my moms money and other items in the car.

This just sucks.

A wreck and a raffle.

February 26th, 2009 VanGuard No comments

Yesterday my brothers wife was ran off the road by some blue truck. The drive of the truck ran off without stopping. My brothers wife is ok with a few bumps and bruises. Her black jeep though, its front end is damaged. Some if it will need to be replaced to be drivable. It was a nice jeep to and my brother really does not have the money to fix it. Will take some time for them to get the money together. Even on top of this, the wreckers charged my brother 200 dollars to take the jeep less then 3 miles to my house where he is storing it until it is fixed. Sad uh?

Now good news then. Today I received an email that I had won a raffle. This is part of the online surveys I do for extra cash. I won a 50 dollar Amazon Gift Card. I already spent it. I bought Outlaw Star complete, Titan A.E. and Blue Submarine #6. It was a total of around 65 dollars so I did have to spend 15 dollars of my own money but still not bad. I also got the free shipping deal Amazon offers so I did not have to spend money on the shipping. It will take longer to get here but I am in no hurry. I have already seen those three anime. I own the VHS version of Titan A.E.

I also did some work for 12Comics.com I do some stuff for them from time to time. Upload images, take comics and upload to scribd and other website duties. I get some cash and that helps me out a lot because I am still looking for a full time job.

A friend I play Guild Wars with told me she is going to go to Game Stop and pick me up a copy for my Trial account I started. I told her she did not have to but she insisted because of all the help I give her. ^^

A lot to type and was all over the place but just typing out my daily life.
