GODDAMMIT, JUST HAVE TO VENT.

JUST SENT A LITECOIN DEPOSIT - which took almost a WEEK to accumulate with the new, higher withdrawal amount - - TO THE WRONG ADDRESS.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

My tried-and-true exchange, CoinExchange, closed DOWN about a month ago. All trades/transfers/withdrawals had to be made by October 15th. Panic, panic, trying to find a new exchange to deposit my faucet drips into - - and found one. Finally. 'Faucet Hub' - - - - and somehow managed to withdrawal from my microwallet INTO THE OLD COINEXCHANGE ADDRESS.....................

...............Which means I sent it NOWHERE. INTO THE ETHER. GODDAMMIT.

Random:

Still plucked that I had to miss the Katya show. But as I hadn't been able to actually effin' WALK for four days, I had no choice. Steps were unimaginable; just couldn't believe the timing. But there's hopefully consolation coming with the budding Trixie and Katya tour! So far, they're doing AU and NZ - no US dates, yet.


Wishing also that I was at every. single. Cureshow, this summer..


In news of the positive, I'm kindasorta liking MeWe - - it's the no ads/no spyware alternative to EffBook. Was on there an hour and chatted with nice, mellow ppl with impeccable taste (meaning they actually knew/liked/could intelligently discuss THE CURE...GARY NUMAN...pg - with or without Genesis..AND KRAFTWERK, the true acid test for me)! And so far, no bullshit. Cool retro-futurism/sci-fi groups, as well...and you KNOW I love me some beepin' and boopin'.

Pose.

Saw the trailer for the upcoming, 'The Mandalorian' and am woefully intrigued. The detail looks amazing and I love Boba Fett, but but but Disney why why why..

FOR THE LOVE OF ALL OF US - for the whole world - If you're in the US, PLEASE VOTE. PLEASE. FOR *ANYTHING* BUT WHAT WE GOT.

It's been suggested to me to get my medical marijuana card. *boing* Something I never thought I'd see in my lifetime. And fortunately, our state is one where you cannot be fired if you have it. So, I'm mo' def thinking about it.

Outraged and a bit obsessed with the Epstein scandal. Do NOT get me started, trust.

I can't believe I had to call off because of my back. Literally on all fours on the floor, unable to get up. And only five days 'til the Katya show. I hope I don't lose my job or need surgery, 'cos I won't survive it. FML.

Happy New Year! And a big roundhouse kick in the butt to 2018! Onwards! Upwards! Etc!


Not sure if anyone's actually still out there/here, but y'know. All good. I have finally had ENOUGH of FB - - it's too much for my ailing processor (won't even let me type in chat windows), and nothing but an angry beehive of stress and unnecessary annoyance. Both my kids are wise - and have nothing to do with it. I can check in occasionally if I get a notice or something, but otherwise, I'm done. Again. I thought that Twitter would be a good alternative, but their DMs are actually just DMs - if one tries to chat...they receive eleventy-thousand notifications...So....Anyone had any experience with LJ Talk?


This looks to be a year of major change, coming up. Fear is the Mind-Killer.


Spent New Years' Eve having nerdgasms - what with the New Horizons fly-by of Ultima Thule, and the Osiris Rex mission finally reaching Bennu - - so, so, so, so fascinating, and - as of this writing - the Chang'e 4 is ready to touch down on the dark side of our moon. Freakin' awesome.

Was actually off work for Christmas Eve, NY's Eve AND NY's day - what the what, I know. It was really nice, though - no one in my family was fighting, for a change (trust me, you have no idea) - - and we just hung out. Holiday miracle :)

My (Ric Flair) crypto drip game is growing. Love to see those numbers go up.

Good things: My daughter and her boyfriend and their trip to Maine to stay with his family.
Sailing and boardgames were involved <3

My son's sense of humour and his financial savvy :)

OBSESSED with cryptocurrency: Viva las Faucets.

Wow - so, after a couple weeks of putzing around, I finally got around to adding/granting access to ppl and now, I can't see them on my, 'Reading' page. Still. I used to be able to...IDK, maybe it's 'cos it's summer and everyone is busy. LOL.

Last night I kept myself sane by thinking about Leonard Nimoy..all slick and soapy-hairy-chest-ed...in that clawfoot tub in the movie, 'Catlow'. I know.

FINALLY got some sleep today - it's so #$% hot and humid, and no a/c in Poor People-Land. It was a long, long week -- our scheduler just up and walked out, lol; shocking -- and folks are up in arms. I woke up thinking about The Cure's original long-ago, 'House' website and apparently, it's not saved anywhere online - that I can find, anyway. Also, thinking about, Angry, Young, and Poor, the shop in Lancaster, PA where I used to buy my twilight-coloured hair dye, and how snotty they were about The Cure..

So - heh. I'm back, already! LOL - like the Cure in that it's always, always, The Last Tour - so. May we both ever return.

I got the wee cheapie pc. Kinda. It was my good fortune in that when I arrived at the store, the guy was working on the one we'd talked about an-n-n-d the upload started having problems, an-n-n-d my mother was waiting in the car, and blah blah blah, long story, less long - instead of the one he originally had for me - I simply could not wait around for him to redo everything - he swapped it for a much *BETTER* one - bigger, faster - and with Linux, for the same price. So - pretty awesome, so far, and I've found that it appears I CAN Periscope, again, and and and - let's hope it works out for awhile; it's a learning experience, and a good one, so far. I mean, FTW fifty bucks.

I love that there's still fabulous people on lj.

My brother treated me to the 3D, X-Men Apocalypse and it was suitably bad-assed. My favorite X-Men are, and always will be, Nightcrawler and Beast. My brother is SO cool, and it's always a treat to hang out with him :)

Boy, do I need to get my lawn mower blades sharpened. /random

Heh.

Just to let everyone know - once again, i'm going to be AWOL for awhile - hopefully, not too long, as I got a guy with cheapie pcs with XP for fifty bucks that can get me thru 'til I can get better. The only problem is...not having a car to get to him, lol. So.

I'm happily getting reaquainted with Stephen king :)

This morning, about three am, I was awakened by a loud bang and then a, "WHOOSH!'-ing noise. As I opened the door to my room, I saw, down the hallway, a large stream of water, just shooting across. A pipe had burst in the wall between the shower and the kitchen. I couldn't switch it off from there - it just shot in my face and kept going.

A power strip was literally floating on the kitchen floor, and that is one scary fucking thing to have to approach.

Ice-storm, outside. Roads, impassable. My brother couldn't get here. My son was at work, and couldn't get here. The emergency guys from the park couldn't get here.

I had to literally crawl on hands and knees - in pajamas and robe - around the house thru snow and slush because I couldn't walk on the ice, with a flashlight in my fucking mouth - ripping the skirting away to try and find the water shut-off, which was under the house and filled with icy water and leaves up past my elbow.

I got it turned off just in time for the fire company to arrive - my mother had called them, in a panic. Naturally, as I opened the door to them - shivering and dripping from head to toe - my son's cat ran outside and we ended up having to chase him. I know.

It took HOURS to clean up, but stuff in my pantry is just ruined, and God only knows what this has done to the flooring, underneath. A lot of the water went under the stove, and all over the bathroom floor, as well. As we don't have heat, I HAD to get as much water up as I could or the floor would become a skating rink.

We still don't have water in the kitchen, so we suspect something under there has burst, as well. I will have to do dishes in my bathtub, I guess.



Of course, it's fifty-two fucking degrees, today, with torrential rains.
