Oh yea, I'm downloading DVDXCopy Platinum (no keygen needed).
I'll let everyone know how well it works. Honestly, I'm just looking for a simple program like DirectCD to create CDs and DVD's with. With the mix of operating systems I've got in this house, its difficult finding any format that simply works on all PC/Notebooks.

I may hate computers, but they make interesting bed fellows..... Had a great time at GL4Fish Friday night.... Got a bit drunk, if you can believe that. LI Ice Tea, two bottles of wine for three people, and then a hard drink followed by two glasses of champagne. My regards to Ms. Rebecca, and give Dustin a kick in the pants over those grades of his. Those grades are shameful, even for a LV child. $$ in the mail early this week for you, my buddy.

1) Robert just called, said his apartment was robbed and his truck has 2 flat tires.
He said he doesn't have the keys to his truck. They took the PC, playstation and 2 TV's.
Tony (his roommate) has been kicked out of his apartment, and is going to move in with his Dad (who lives in Tonopah).
Robert said he is in Blue Diamond, with Joy and their dog. He said Paul had called his auto insurance and they couldn't help him. He said his truck was towed to Blue Diamond and is on blocks.
Robert said, that Paul said, D.O.G. (Roberts snot slinging dog) could stay at his house, but but Robert and Joy (Robert's girlfriend 6 months pregnant) couldn't.
I Know I stuttered. I'm turninging into a blithering idiot.
2) We called Paul on the speaker phone.
Paul said he barely talked to Robert. Paul said, that Robert said, that he had 3 flat tires and that Robert had his own auto insurance. Paul said, he told Robert, whatever it is, I can't help, I have no money. Paul said they didn't even talk about the dog.
3) Dustin came in and told Becky his sweaty Pokemon cards were worth $135.
He told Becky this one card was worth $5. I told Dustin, he should sell it then, and buy 10 more cards. Then, later on, I made a copy of his $5 card. Then we cooked up a scheme to print 1,000 of them, plastic coat them, then sell them all for $5,000. Then we could use the money to help Robert and his pregnant girlfriend. LOL.
4) Jennifer asked for a Cola.
I said to Jennifer, that I'm glad she's thru bed-wetting, give me a big hug! She said, yea, I can hold it for 12 hours, and if I need to go while I'm asleep...I wake up and go.

I asked her why angels needed wings. She said because they can fly.
I said, then they fly on air...do they breath air...she said they can breath anything.
I said hmmm, if they have to breath, then, when they can't breath, they die, where do they go...She said HEAVEN!!!
But they are in Heaven...Once again, 2+1=5.
I love the logic of religious people.
But, they're cool with me as long as they don't tell me that I am going to their idiologically custom built hells

We saw Chuck and Patti at the Tailspin Bar/Grill for an hour tonight. Chuck helps the band. If I were still a drinking man, that is where I'd go to party. The Tailspin is only a couple of miles away, has the 80's feel to it and the band was excellent. I found it a little cramped for all that they offer, and they lacked a dance floor to get crazy on.

Took some DVDs back, bought $140 on groceries for everyone, made Gazpacho and dirty rice. That took up 5 hours of my day.
My Gazpacho Recipe: 6 fresh tomato's (blanched, peeled), 1 cucumber (seeded), 1 onion, 2 stalks celery, 1 bunch of cilantro, 6 cloves garlic, 2 cans tomato sauce, 1 can minced clams, 3 lemons. Chop all veggies. Salt/tabasco/pepper to taste. Add 2 ounces of vegetable oil for preservative purposes. Thinly slice 1/2 lemon for decoration. It's a Gourmet's delight!
Makes 100 servings. LOL. Last 2 days around here. I'm hooked on it!
My Dirty Rice Recipe: 3 lbs hamburger (boiled, chopped, strained to remove water and grease). Fry the hamburger with chopped onions and garlic. Season to taste with soy sauce, accent, onion salt/powder, pepper and salt. Add 2 cups minute rice, 2 cups water and simmer. It is delicious.
Makes 100 servings. LOL. Last 1 week around here, I use it for dog food too.
Oh, I was eating some dirty rice and offered Dustin at taste of it. Dustin looks at it, and says "ewwwwe, what is this!". I hit the roof as he was digging around in it with my spoon (looking for what he wanted to pick out of it!). For a welfare kid, Dustin has bad manners and is spoiled.
Both Dustin and Jennifer had much better manners only 4 months ago. I get tired of having to put my foot down on every little thing they do that lacks basic manners and consideration. Guess undoing what someone has accomplished doesn't take long with kids. (someone put a dirty spoon in dish drainer with clean dishes again). A word comes to mind...airhead.

Woke up with an asthma attack. Becky handed me some Primatine Mist (with pseudophedrine) instead of Albuteral (which we ordered over the net without a prescription for less than prescription prices. The pseudophedrine kicked my butt, so I barely left the room all day. That stuff is nasty.

Visited GMa today at 5:30pm. She wanted us to be there at 5pm but I was busy rewiring Skips room for his new phone. (I mean switching Line 1 with Line 2, he has a 2 line phone). It's 9:30pm and I'm pooped. Its been another wasted day in Paradise. Becky and I are going to keep the kids for an extra week, so, next week, I'll be shuttling them across town at 9am and 3pm. And that, my friends, pretty much ruins the rest of July for producing $$$.

Sonny came over, he bought a HP printer/copier just like mine.
I think Sonny likes it! We copied money and our ID's in color. Then printed some print quality pix.
Sonny and I tried to teach Dustin and Jennifer how to hold a knife and fork like most people do.
They kind of got it, they being 9 and 11 years old. He said his 15 year old daughter still holds a knife like an ape. Noone's teaching her anything. The lesson may stick this time with Dustin and Jennifer, but I doubt it. Deja vu.
Dustin spilled a tupperware bowl of freshly chopped onions on the floor, and was going to use paper towels for cleaning it up. I got a broom and had him sweep, but he doesn't know how to hold a broom, so I ended up sweeping the onions off of the floor myself. That boy ain't quite all there. Good thing he doesn't read my blog. I'd hate to depress him. But you'd think, Dustin, after getting 3 F's in 5 classes at his school, would be wanting to better himself. He's got no incentive to learn though. He's the product of PlayStations, stupid cartoons, and Yugio cards. He has fights over Yugio Cards. Those Power Rangers kill ugly creatures every episode, and they are dumber than rocks. The Japanese have won the war. Dustin has developed A.D.D.
As usual, Becky had problems playing games with her mouse, and we messed with her laptop forever, then my little laptop wouldn't work and I gave up on it. May as well, just throw them all into the closet if people don't quit inviting viruses in. I hate to do it, but I may end up reloading my entire home network and passwording everything, and securing everything. But then again, its theirs only 6 on this network, it seems like too small of a group for that.
Blaaaahhh.....another day, shot to hell!!!

The phone rang twice this morning for no good purpose (solicitors), so I decided to get up.
Then Dustin knocks on the Bedroom door. The second time...I just said what!
We're not dressed, don't wanna get dressed...WHAT!!! He said, um, what time are we going to see Grandma today?
I said WHAT, this afternoon, of course. She just got out of the hospital, and she's/we are just waking up.
So, I suppose he went to the neighbors house to mooch some Playstation while telling DJ (their very intelligent son) that he's glad to have him as his friend. He knocks on their door at least 8 times a day.
Anyway, realizing Dustin was bored, I got up, made some expresso, sat down with Dustin and Jennifer at the table.
Dustin goes on, Jennifer, remember that kid, who used to pick us up, well, sometimes he'd pick me up from school, after the bell rang, and I'd sometimes, well, most of the time, do my homework, do you remember him.
I SAID WHAT!!!!????
Exactly, how do kids think?

Becky and I ate at Joe's Crab Shack. I wish they'd bring the Seafood Steam Pot back, but Shrimp Scampi, Fried Oysters, and their double Dip was great.
Got us 2 tiedyed T-Shirts to flirt.
Got Becky up some underwear for flair.
Got some Bourbon for Skip to sip.
Got to-go food for my morning mood. (tacky, I know).

1) I was helping a guy, who is moving to Missouri Wednesday, move his furniture into a storage unit. I said "I read Missouri had a nasty tornado yesterday. He said, yea, Amarillo Texas is having them too.". Anyone else think that's an odd response but me?.
2) July 4th, someone asked me to turn my truck lights on so they could see the fireworks better.
3) Dustin said a kid on the block said his Dad was going to beat up Dustin's family, and he believed the 9 year old he just met. He warned us. lol
4) Jennifer, who complained the fireworks hurt her ears cause she has great hearing, wanted my 100 watt surround system turned up from half way to full, cause she couldn't hear it. (the windows are rattling from the bass right now).
5) The people who I helped move yesterday, rode the elevator up to where they where they were storing their furniture, but took the stairs down. They said, 'cause it was easier'.
6) Someone just told me, they were told this is the worst time of year to get a job in Las Vegas. LOL!!!
7) I've helped move practically two houses of furniture in one week for absolutely no gain at all. And I gave, then installed a truck shell too. (I did get a Coke and some breakfast out of it all though).

Ya know. I was on the freeway the other day, stopped in traffic, A/C sucking in fresh air to cool down the inside of my truck. I was smoking a cigarette. I thought about the smoking and nonsmoking sections at a buffet I ate at earlier.
See, someone complained about my smoking.
SO HERE IS MY CHALLENGE TO NON-SMOKING COMPLAINERS
- I go into a closed garage and smoke cigarettes with 20 people for one hour.
- They go into a closed garage with their running vehicle for one hour.
Then we'll all come out, and talk about how toxic passive tobacco smoke is.
Of course, they'd be dead from the carbon monoxide emissions from their vehicle, I'd think.

Rob came up to me. He told me his funeral was just a scam, he made a lot of money out of it. He just wanted to let me know that he was doing great. He said he he had a new name, was living in Spokane, Washington with Missy.
Funny how the days turn into your dreams.
I got the rave party from part of "The Matrix" movie.
Rob is dead, but I think he did what he did for the money
Missy is vacationing in Spokane, Washington right now.
And someone asked me what happens after you die.
I'd told them, what's left of you breaks down, germs eat it, other things eat the germs, and maybe in a million years or so, you get to become an intelligent life form again.
That seems like a pretty true statement doesn't it?

Cooked 3 lbs bacon, 26 eggs, washed the truck, the dog. Becky (my g/f) and I spent 6 hours on the road. We helped Robert (her son) move his preggers g/f's parent's stuff into a storage facility.
So, I've helped people move for two days in 1 weeks time, with absolutely nothing to gain. Some would call me a fool. I know I do at times.
I need to print up a bumper sticker saying "Yes this is my truck, and yes I will help you move". lol.
Seriously though, I'm been dancing around with 'TIME EATERS', as I call them, a little too much lately.

Well, spent the night partying (soberly) with the neighbors. My brother, Becky, Jennifer, and Dustin went to VoTech hill to watch Las Vegas's fireworks. Its the highest point in the valley and it's one mile away. Dustin didn't want to leave the trucks cause of scorpions, Jennifer wanted to turn the lights on to see the fireworks better...It was an interesting night. The neighbors red taped the road off for X thru traffic...but they only had $50 worth of fireworks. The main party favorite was booze and pot. lol. Those days are long past for me...but it was fun hanging out.

Thank you so much for taking Jennifer & Dustin & me to the fireworks last night. It was lots of fun. Skip gave Dustin a huge bowl of cearel this morning lol!!!. I really liked how your little camera took the fireworks they were great!. Love Ya Becky :)

Talked to Skip about his wonder drug that lets you live forever (supposedly another Gerovital, Laetrile, HGH) answer to a healthier/longer life. It's an MLM that sells a Mangoxxx juice. I was thrilled to point out those tiny letters at the end of every article, that say its all BS, not to take it's advice, use it as therapy, and to seek a physician for any ailment. I love franchises...they all look the same to me.
The real way to make money is to SELL franchises with your own DNAJavalium Juice from the jungles of Columbia with actors, statements from DR's, and Testimonials...and be sure to include the disclamer statements to forgo the lawsuits and libel laws. LOL

Took Becky, Dustin and Jennifer to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway (Bullring), and watched 3 hours of racing and a demolition derby. At the end, they had a decent fireworks display that lasted 5 minutes. It was pretty cool.

What I call a good deed, is something you do nice for someone else, without anything to gain from your action.

I helped move a friend across town for about 7 hours today, and it was HOT! Everything from a queen bed to a refrigerator. Guess I've still got the physical stamina that kind of labor requires and that's nice to know!
Bought 6 cartons of smokes, laid back, watched tube. Made some smoked pork/gravy and mashed potatoes for dinner. (Just didn't feel like going out for KFC).

Another day for shopping.
Turns out we go thru 160 rolls of toilet paper a month.
Now if that ain't the WILDEST statistic you've ever heard, let me know.
That's 160 / 4 people = 40 roll/ person = 1.30 rolls per person a day!!!

Yowzerz, what fun youve let arrange unto yerself boy! Hoo-hyah! Wha, you got one dem Iron willz er sumthin'? Heh.. Not that im into this, but my karma programmer thought it best i guess to slamm me into a television viewing experience the other day and I watched this Vh1 thing called the surreal life. Were ther efer a point Id make it that If Tammy Faye, Erik Estrada, Ron Jeremy and Vanilla Ice to live together for twelve days and come aut a lovin, well, chin up kid. Cheers baby! its Summer!

It's been a while since my last entry. A lot of things have happened I suppose. I just found out
Dustin and Jennifer will be here for 2 weeks (instead of 4 days) and I just went shopping. We didn't prepare for that kind of time. Don't know what to think about that. But all in all, life is good.

Picked up another pair of binoculars. My last ones, well, were ruined by kids. #@%%#

God I love to tear things apart them put them back together again!

and I have been playing with it ever since.
God I love to tear things apart them put them back together again!

They did surgery on his nasal passage ways. Yuck!

They did surgery on his nasal passage ways. Yuck!

On Mikey's recommendation, had them give me XP Pro, OEM edition. Cool unit!
I'm going to be all about building it up and transferring files for awhile. Lot's of fun work!

Skip has got to be the best pool shooter I've ever known.
He's got some excellent shots.
He tried teaching me the ropes, but I'll never be in his league..
