Viruii Blues

Ok ok ok... Soooooooo now nearly a month has gone by... nope, never got that damn webcam to work... :( the software decided to go ahead and start working on my computer at least...

I also got a nasty virius from someone on an email list who posted in HTML/Styled Text, no worries, my system is clean now and no damage was done. That's what I get for procrastinating on updating my virus checker though... :-/

!!!!!!!PLAIN TEXT RULES PEOPLE!!!!!!!!

Well, I decided to change the look of this page, you like? (Like you can answer me LMAO!)

I've done a few new pieces of artwork, check out my gallery to go see them. *grin*

Webcams

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. Now back to my grumbling. *g*

I bought a webcam for my mother. All she wants is to be able to use it for yahoo messenger. So I got her one that didn't cost very much, well it was on sale anyway but it come with all this fancy software to do video email. Problem, it doesn't work on her computer. So I install it on mine to see if it works. The camera at least works on my computer but the software still doesn't recognize the camera... *rolls eyes* so much for fancy software. I thought the problem was solved, I would just hook up my old camera for mom on her computer and all would be well. Oh hell no. See, she has the Windows upgrade from 95 to 98 and for some reason the Microsoft capture thing isn't compatible or isn't making the camera work right or something. *growl* I'm going to try to see if using windows update will bring the capture thing up to date but I won't hold my breath...

The Legend of Wolfrose

Once in the Land of Mist
A wolf went walking
seeking yet not knowing
what he would find

Then he stopped...
... for in front of him
bathed in pale moonlight
was beauty frozen in time

The Wolf met the Rose
and took her as mate
in the mist where the
moon did shine

Be it legend or myth
once a wolf loved a rose
in the land of mist
where the Lady did shine

Point of the tale you ask...
... eh who knows...
but some would call it
the Legend of Wolfrose...

Magic Accounting

Ok, so maybe you are saying to yourself, "When the hell is she actually going to bitch about something???" Alrighty then, here goes...

I usually get a child support check around the fifth of every month, except for this month. So I call the local branch of the Texas Attn. Gen. office to find out where my check is. I get informed that since it got to their office on October 31st, and I had already gotten my "allotment" for October, it is an extra check for October and as such the state would keep it to go towards what my ex owes in back child support. I said, "but he only gets paid every two weeks, it's not like it really is extra money and I need that check." I was then told, "ma'am there is no use arguing." Oh bet me, I WILL get my money somehow. No damn state should STEAL money from a child. I'm not fucking stupid, I can read court documents, hell I've even typed the damn things up so I actually *do* know what the hell they say. When the person who pays child support doesn't get paid once a month then they go by how they get paid and order the support that way so I'm not really supposed to get some set allotment for a single month, I'm supposed to get a set amount for EACH payday. What moronic assholes!

You know something else that pisses me off about them... my ex owes a certain amount of back child support that I will never see because the state keeps that, they are charging an ungodly amount of interest on that back support. Who the hell needs the mob when you have a state like this? I'm not done either, they finally caught up with my oldest's father and took him to court for child support. A judge ordered an amount for him to pay in current support and only ordered him to pay $3,000.00 in back support which was fine with me since I won't see a dime of back support and IMO fair for a man who is raising his other three children himself. Oh but that wasn't good enough for the damn state, NO, they had to file an appeal "In the Interest of" my daughter. *rolls eyes* Give me a break, if it was in her interest, they would have left it alone so I could have gotten a friggin check this month for her. GGGGGRRRRRRRRR!! ASSHOLES!!!

Dead Monitor

Well, a couple of days ago my monitor decided that it's time was up and died. So I've spent the last couple of days either pissed off at my computer or sleeping. St.Parker is really happy I got some sleep... something I neglect sometimes while occupied with Poser. ;) I've been saved from the hell that is St.Parker's computer though. *grin* My mother bought my Yule present early and now I have a new 17" monitor.

So now it's back to bitchness... ;p
