My working desktop

 

      

Ever wanted a customized desktop layout for your PC? Tired of looking at just the standard backgrounds and icons? Let me customize one for you and your needs/convenience. I have been customizing my own now for a couple years. I can customize your icons, colors, backgrounds, and help you add many convenient sections/widgets that you use everyday. Any image, color text, etc. If you are interested in having me take your desktop to a new level and meaning. This would also require clear concise info and images that you may want or require. So there will be several communications between us. For more info or ??'s hit me up, and lets give your desktop an entirely new look. I will also provide whatever assistance I can to you in setting it up and getting it functional. Below is a sample of my current desktop. This is my Stereo Version.. pay no mind to the sound...lol. crappy speakers and an echo as I am on the back porch.. but as you can see, I have everything I need right on the desktop, music info, visualizer, weather, date/time custom icons, FB messenger links and more...

Slacking off..

 

Been busy as of late, and the yardwork / maintenance has been neglected some. This dang palm is the vein of my existence.. Looks like it could have used a good trimming awhile ago. Seem like I have to do this a couple times a year as apposed to annually.

It gets to the point where you actually have to duck to avoid getting slapped by the leaves due to the droop, and those seed pods are a real pain in the arse when they start dropping all over the place, that and the bush at the side of the garage as well.  Thinking its time for the second cutting and possibly a good time to also pressure wash the drive and pavers as they are starting to look a bit grungy again. I will have to see if I can borrow Brandon's pressure washer at some point, it wouldn't hurt to do the back porch as well. Between the dirt, pet hair, etc.. it needs a good cleaning. A good fall cleaning is in order..lol.

Beyond belief..

 

 

How does a 30+ y/o man (boy) manage to live a life of such recluse and carelessness. This is a southern born and bred individual that was supposedly raised with manners and respect.? What a friggin joke. I am so beyond pissed off at him right now,. words escape me. His idea of moving out was to just grab a couple handfuls of items and leave the rest of the squalor as it was. Mind you this was used as his office space, he spent the majority of all his time in here doing God knows what, but cleaning definitely wasn't it. He worked here, and basically just played computer games his entire existence while living under our roof. This was not a sudden "get out" situation, he knew well over week ahead of time that he would be leaving and he couldn't be bothered to even attempt to clean the room, instead "Expecting" that his wife or we would just deal with it. This has been the pattern for the past few years and it finally became to much to deal with on the whole.

On the daily we have requested that dishes and silverware, etc. be brought down so it could be washed and re-used as every mealtime we are scrounging for suitable items for meals.. I now know where it all ended up. At least half of our storage containers are sitting there in a stack and just getting grosser by the day, along with the silverware, etc.

We have sat here on the daily watching our daughter do her her best to be a devoted and loving individual toward this man, waiting on him hand and foot, doing her best to work and provide income for their living expenses and all he does is take, take, and take more and has barely ever done a thing, especially when it come to the household and living arrangements. We have tried our best, collectively to get him to communicate with us regarding finances, work plans, living plans, and so much more and we get nothing or he tries to flip it to someone elses responsibility. Its all about him, a true narcissist.

Enough is enough, time to go... I feel for our daughter, but one cannot accept the behavior and the constant barrage of disrespect that comes from him. Time for some accountability, I know we will never receive the financial aspects of our arrangements that had been made so many times, I can live with that, but we refuse to tolerate it any longer.

Ok, I could drag this on, but suffice to say, good riddance in my opinion.. Now maybe our daughter and we can move on with our lives and hopefully she will again find some peace and happiness and mature to the person she can be without the weight of carrying his sorry ass any longer.

Trouble in the ranks..

 

Turmoil in the ranks of the household yet again unfold. Apparently there are a few problems in the united that cannot or will not be resolved in any easy manner. Hence, there is mention of a divorce and going separate ways between the younger generation. I really have to admit, its no surprise and I am actually largely in favor of it. Its bad medicine between the two and has been toxic for a couple years now. I think its time for them to go separate ways and grow a little. If you are that unhappy and not getting what you need as a spouse, then maybe its time to re-evaluate your lives and move on so that you can be a happier version of you and become more productive and happier in your own lives.

I wont go into any details because frankly I don't have them nor wish to be involved in them. Just have to let it play itself out and come what may hope that its for the best.

Planned Cruise..

Well we have decided we will be cruising in January with Lorrie & Mike for our combined birthdays /anniversary celebrations.

We are looking at cruising from Tampa on the Carnival Paradise a smaller cruise ship than what we normally would do. But its size doesn't really matter much to me anyway, I just enjoy the actual cruising/sailing days.. Still offers all the exciting amenities as the larger ships just scaled down in size. We enjoy the company and that's what matters to us most. Both Lorrie and I are celebrating birthdays and Deb and I our Anniversary and we will be at sea for both.. awesome.. already starting the booking process and saving the fundages needed for the cruise so its definitely happening...it will probably be the last one for awhile though, as its getting more expensive on the daily .. that and a lot of cruise lines are changing up the benefits and packages so often one cannot keep track anymore, and a few of them are having issues with guests fighting more and more.. Takes the enjoyment out of it all... Hopefully we go unscathed this round and have a great cruise.
