  • Yeah … after many years of throwing away the package … I now carefully unwrap the package to not destroy the instructions (sometimes I even just snap a picture of it all if the design means I have to tear open everything) … then keep the package on the counter until after supper when everything is done.

    And no matter how many times I’ve cooked the same type of prepackaged rice for the 100th time … I’ll still check to see how many minutes I’m supposed to boil the damned thing.


  • Everyone always views families as the happy, wealthy, well to do, nuclear family that is happy, functioning, supportive, open and loving.

    There are many types of families and many of them you don’t want to be part of … they can be abusive, manipulative, destructive, psychotic, chaotic and ugly.

    Whenever a company says you are part of a family, it may not mean you are entering into a loving relationship with a group of supportive people … you may be entering into a dysfunctional family living within a cult like atmosphere that only ever wants blind obedience or else you will punished for insubordination to the leader of the family.

    It’s god’s fault everything went to shit

    You don’t build a big giant playground and then tell the kids, don’t eat this one cookie

    As soon you as you mention or point out the cookie, all the kids will think about is that one cookie and yes eventually, they will eat the damned thing … mainly because you told them not to eat it and that it is FORBIDDEN.

    God should have just placed all forbidden knowledge in a cabbage, placed it in a giant vegetable farm and told no one about it.



  • I went on a cross Canada car drive in the early 2000s. We left from Sudbury Ontario to make it to the west coast in BC. We took our time, sight seeing and making many stops along the way. Ten days later we made it to Vancouver.

    The best part was that on our sixth day, we ran into a friend in Medicine Hat, Alberta. He had left Kapuskasing, Ontario the day before and was expecting to make it to Vancouver in about 60 hours with non stop driving. His eyes were so blood shot and he was literally shaking from all the caffeine drinks, pills and coffee he had been taking. He had some strangers with him that he had picked up as hitch hikers and he said they were keeping him awake.

    We worried about him the whole time but he called us two days later to say he made it. We caught up with him three days later.

    I did the same for a while using TrueNAS … I cobbled together every single spare HDD I had at the time onto my first true desktop PC (450Mhz CPU with a gig of RAM, in a giant box full of HDD that felt like a small heater in my office)… I think it was six or seven drives that added up to about 2TB and I felt like I had become Hackerman … I even set it up with Transmission to download a bunch of Linux distros I wanted to try as well as a ton on movies and TV shows I couldn’t get at the time. Basically the reason why I got back into watching all the Star Trek series after downloading all of TNG, VOY and DS9
