One Day in the Life of a Wolf - Memorial 7-25-20

Twilight Zone

I took a 3 hour nap tonight. I awoke and my computer was acting oddly. Nothing wanted to open: not yahoo messenger, my gmail, the Message Boards nor the EA chatroom.

Finally, a message popped up saying "your computer's date is set for 4:00pm 1969 and may not be responding properly." No Shit.

I rebooted, reset the date to just after midnight on Jan 4, 2008 and everything works fine. Maybe I slept through a minor power outtage.

I wouldn't worry about it too much, but if it happens again it just means you need a new battery for the mother board. They cost about $8-12 and it is not a major repair.

Hey, Rip Van W,

I was having all kinds of trouble recently. Couldn't log in here, trouble with my browser, and my XP, all kinds of schmit. Finally computer farted and I found out the date was advanced by two months. I had been looking at future calendar and re-set the clock. Good one Blonde Boy. Since you are a silver blonde, I suspect you may have been setting the clock back in order to avoid using as much "Oil of OldLay."

Mac,

Please be careful with that "Bates Motel" analogy. Remember the ending when they found the body of his mother? You don't want to go that route!:D ...Or am I thinking of another movie... GAH! ... old age is setting in.... GAH!

The police just left my house.

Apparently, a neighbor heard me yell at my mom telling her to "shuddddup" and called them. The police says my house needs works but also said my house looks MUCH better than the last time they were here. They said if I ever yell at mom again, I will be arrested for elder abuse.

I feel so safer now that I know our local police are on the job catching dangerous criminals instead of bothering with petty civil matters

I fully realize I should never yell at mom as she's often unware of what she is doing but last night she had me up 5 times to talk to her from midniught to 7:00am. The police arrived at 8:00am just as I had yelled, "mom, would please shutup and let me sleep."

On the plus side, one ho

ur later, mom never remembers I yelled at her or who I am.

I can't believe the rubbish you have to go through!

Um and if mum yells at you does she get cautioned for elder abuse too.

Things sound better anyway and at least mum is home.

God Bless both of you.

It's 1:55am Sunday morning and I've decided that on Monday, I'm going to purchase a long hospital-type belt and tie mom into her chair, at least at night.

I had gone to bed about midnight and had fallen asleep shortly thereafter. Some time thereafter I thought I heard talking. I arose to discover mom had wheeled herself to the front door, unlocked and opened it, unlocked and opened the security screendoor, had wheeled herself out on the front porch and was calling out to anyone in the pouring rain.

We live in a poor neighborhood and I shudder to think if a rapist, druggie or other such type had seen the two open doors and the insane woman on the front porch.

Yup, my momma is is nutsy.

Might be cheaper to put double cylinder locks on the door. That way, you'd have to have a key to get out, too.

Strapping her to a chair would not go over well with the social services folks if they caught wind of it.

Best do the locks or some sort of alarm.
