There are people on the net that have nothing better to do with their time
then be nasty to other people online. They post rude comments, spend hours
a day talking about sites they hate so much, that they well, spend hours a
day talking about them. (lame) They mock the owners and posters for their
opinions and their right to free speech. They expect everyone to fit into
their narrow-minded little world view or else they throw a temper tantrum.
To these people I say grow up.
Here's a bit of info people...the web is
a HUGE place. If you don't like what I say here, or who I am, or what I
do, or talk about, or what I look like, or the color of my hair, or
whatever asinine thing you dwell on, go somewhere else. It's
really, really easy. Honest. You just click the little "x" in
the corner of your browser and *poof* the offending, big, mean and nasty
site has disappeared.
I pay for this site. It's mine. That
means I can use it for whatever the hell I want to. Don't like it if I'm
bitching about something in my life? Oh fucking well. Go somewhere else.
Think I'm stupid for expressing my thoughts? Too fucking bad, don't read
them. Somewhere along the line, someone forgot this simple fact: Live
and let live Don't like me, cool, fine, whatever, I don't care.
This journal is NOT for you. It's for me. I'm not in it for popularity or
fame or anything stupid like that. I write it because I need to write and
express myself and get things out of my head sometimes. So read or don't,
it doesn't matter, but don't waste my time (or yours) bitching about it.

So That's Why They Call It A Breaker
Remember how I mentioned the bad thunderstorm earlier today? Well, like all storms, it meant the power flickered on and off a few times. (The problem with having sand for ground soil and being the lightning capital of the country is that nothing grounds well and thunderstorms = power outages and brownouts.) Didn't think anything of it. Until Love gets home and says it's hot in here. And you know, he's right. I hadn't really noticed because normally during the day, I put the a/c up so it doesn't run as much. But once he said it, he was right. It was really hot. The air had been running pretty much non-stop for a couple solid hours and the thermostat was reading about 90F. We opened the panel up and it wasn't frozen over so we put in an emergency (after-hours) maintence call. I thought maybe we had run out of coolant or something. Nope, turns out the a/c unit has two circuit breakers. One inside and one for the pump outside. The one inside was fine - it was running and running and running. But apparently, the one for the pump outside had triggered. Boom. No pump. No cool air. Turn it off, turn it back on and volia! We have cool air again. Apparently I'm about person #8 to have called with this exact same issue. We've never had this particular issue with our unit before so I didn't even know to check the panel. Good news is that it'll cool down in here now. Bad news is that the unit's been running for, oh, three hours or so basically non-stop which will make a hell of a fun power bill. (Which already literally doubles in the summer months as it is.) But now I know why they call it a breaker. When it goes, you're power is definitely broken!
