Writing How-To-Do Articles

Since I am learning PSP, and I do a lot of crafts, a lot of my work will be craft related. This is a gable box that I made. If you want to use it this is fine, and you need to print out two of them and put the box together.You may need to resize to fit regual size paper (11 x 8.5). Best to use cardstock paper, and white of course.

I had bought PSP (Paint Shop Pro) for myself for my Birthday last month. No, I cannot send my husband out to get any computer stuff for me. This guy has no idea how to turn on the computer, let alone send him to a computer store? If I told him to pick up a mouse for me he come back with a live one. Get the point here? I tried to teach him the basic but, I just didn't have the patience's with him. If he had some computer skills it be a different story but, he has zilch. He only uses a special computer to program in codes that he needs to at his job. It is totally different from the usual desk top or laptop. It involves with Pools and Spa's. Nevertheless, he still isn't computer savvy whatsoever.

Anyway, I am drifting off from my topic here. Well, I belong to several Yahoo Groups to help me learn this PSP stuff. Well, it was obvious that some of what goes on these groups really don't teach you much and I had to seek other ways of learning this stuff. Even though, I had gotten a big fat book along with the program I be still sitting here trying to figure out this stuff. So off to Google to help me. I came across zillions of sites that give tutorials on how to do certain things. Perfect. Some of the sites that I had gone to would tell you to do this and that but failed to tell you where to go to do this and that and would use terms with no explaining about them. I had to weed out sites that explained things clearly. If one is to right these tutorials they should write assuming the person has no idea about PSP. Not always the case. I did however, find some good sites that explained things thoroughly.

Now that I have some basics of how this darn thing works I am getting addicted to it. I have lots to learn and from the little basic stuff I have learned I am bored with that part and want to learn animation now. Back to Google for some tutorials and hopefully I can get some good sites that teach this properly.

If anyone plans on writing out any HOW-TO-Do articles, bear in mind, you should always assume a beginner is going to read your tutorials so, write your article as if you were just learning yourself.

By the way, notice the background on this blog? Yup, I made that with PSP.

Books Not To Read To Children

I am going to ignore my title and read these stories to my kids. You know, life lessons that they will need. LOL! Oh, don't look shocked they are 23 and 18! LOL!

The Cops Just Love Us....

My son had gone to a party tonight. I had asked him flat out if there were going to be parents. He was honest and said no and I said no good not going as anything could happen will happen. It is only a few friends he said. I said Ya, and some where along the line someone has a blabber mouth and it becomes bigger. So, he goes out any way with his friend Jason.

At 9:00 I get this phone call from him to pick him up at the Police Station. At first, I was like stop fooling around. He is foul mouthing me and says he isn't kidding around. The officer got on the line. Says that there was a party but he wasn't at this one. He and his friend were walking and there were about 6 police cars at this house. A police officer stopped them and wanted to talk to them that is all. What did my son do and Jason? They take off. Guilty, guilty and guilty. If you don't have anything to hid I tell my son then why run and then when they catch you, you then resisted an arrest. He bitched about how ruff they were and how they hurt him. Told him that is what you get for running. Now, if you were smart you could have stood there and allowed the cop talk and ask a few questions and all this shit wouldn't have happened. So what happened. Apparently, some kid got drunk and passed out and so a bunch of kids put him in a car, drove him to the next town and left him on the side of the road and then called an ambulance. The cops in the next town traced the kid back to our town to a certain party. If he had been inside he would have been in more trouble but he was outside walking by and being obnoxious and running from them. I had explained to him that all he had to do was answer a few questions for them to help them with the investigation and then off you could have went but no, he had to be stupid.

They brought him down to the station and he said he was there for hours before they called me. He said they had the handcuffs so tight and no one would loosen them a big but then one cop did. He had no bond but got possession of alcohol to a minor. My son, is 17 so he couldn't buy the booze. And interfering with the cops. When they went into this house a 14 girl answered the door. She was drunk and a couple of other girls there but were not drunk. So, whom ever supplied had to have been older but wasn't there or this girl's parents had the booze. I just hope the kid that was taken to the hospital is okay.

Something similar happened to my daughter. She got drunk and her friends just dumped her at the hospital and left and then called me. I yelled at her friend for not being there for her. And, she fed me this line she had to get back to her kid in which I then blasted to her that she never takes care of her kid and is always dumping her kid off at someone so horse shit to her remark.

We then get home. My husband is royally pissed and my son had knocked something over that made my husband more pissed. He runs after my son and he is now trying to get away from his father and falls over the gate and is on the floor. My husband steps over towards him and I can see the rage in him. I look at him and said you lay one fucken finger on him I will kill you. He turned sheet white at what I had said and of course told me to fuck off. He can be mad at me all he wants but if he touched him he wouldn't have stopped and could have hurt him. I wouldn't have hesitated to have him arrested. I am sorry, no matter how upset you are with your kids violent behavior is not the answer. I just told my son to go into his room and sleep off his booze and we will talk when he is sober.

I seriously need to move from this town you think?

Picture Of The Day

Even non-living organisms get lucky.....Dang!

Blonde Logic and More....

Okay, no pun taken as I am a blonde my self and no where as stupid as some. Perhaps a wise-ass one in which is better to be then a DUMB-ASS!

BLONDE LOGIC
Two blondes living in Oklahoma were sitting on a bench talking and one blonde says to the other, "Which do you think is farther away .... Florida or the moon?"
The other blonde turns and says, "Helloooooooooo, can you see Florida...?????"

CAR TROUBLE
A blonde pushes her BMW into a gas station. She tells the mechanic it died. After he works on it for a few minutes, it is idling smoothly. She says, "What's the story?"
He replies, "Just crap in the carburetor"
She asks, "How often do I have to do that?"

SPEEDING TICKET
A police officer stops a blonde for speeding and asks her very nicely if he could see her license.
She replied in a huff, "I wish you guys would get your act together. Just yesterday you take away my license and then today you expect me to show it to you!"

RIVER WALK
There's this blonde out for a walk. She comes to a river and sees another blonde on the opposite bank. "Yoo-hoo!" she shouts, "How can I get to the other side?"
The second blonde looks up the river then down the river and shouts back, "You ARE on the other side."


AT THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE
A gorgeous young redhead goes into the doctor's office and said that her body hurt wherever she touched it.
"Impossible!" says the doctor. "Show me."
The redhead took her finger, pushed on her left breast and screamed, then she pushed her elbow and screamed in even more. She pushed her knee and screamed; likewise she pushed her ankle and screamed. Everywhere she touched made her scream.
The doctor said, "You're not really a redhead, are you?
"Well, no" she said, "I'm actually a blonde."
"I thought so," the doctor said. "Your finger is broken."

KNITTING
A highway patrolman pulled alongside a speeding car on the freeway. Glancing at the car, he was astounded to see that the blonde behind the wheel was knitting! Realizing that she was oblivious to his flashing lights and siren, the trooper cranked down his window, turned on his bullhorn and yelled, "PULL OVER!"
"NO!" the blonde yelled back, "IT'S A SCARF!"

BLONDE ON THE SUN
A Russian, an American and a Blonde were talking one day. The Russian said, "We were the first in space!" The American said, "We were the first on the moon!"
The Blonde said, "So what? We're going to be the first on the sun!"
The Russian and the American looked at each other and shook their heads. "You can't land on the sun, you idiot! You'll burn up!" said the Russian.
To which the Blonde replied, "We're not stupid, you know. We're going at night!"

IN A VACUUM
A blonde was playing Trivial Pursuit. It was her turn. She rolled the dice and she landed on Science & Nature. Her question was, "If you are in a vacuum and someone calls your name, can you hear it?"
She thought for a time and then asked, "Is it on or off?"

FINALLY, THE BLONDE JOKE TO END ALL BLONDE JOKES!
A girl was visiting her blonde friend, who had acquired two new dogs, and asked her what their names were. The blonde responded that one was named Rolex and one was named Timex.
Her friend said, "Whoever heard of someone naming dogs like that?"
"HELLLOOOOOOO......," answered the blond. "They're watch dogs!"

Super Bowl

I am not a football fan what so ever and the only time that I watch it is during Super Bowl. Yet, I mostly watch for the commercials as most like to. Imagine the money involved just to get a spot and spending months trying to come up with a good commercial. They are getting better each year. Anyhow, of course the team I picked won. Way to go Steelers.

Ya, I have been lagging on my blog lately. Amazing, I don't have too much to say these days. Or, perhaps, there just isn't anything worthwhile to say on my part that is. I got this new program PSP and this is driving me insane. I have enrolled in those Yahoo groups for free lessons. The thing that really bugs me about reading the lessons is that the person that wrote it assumes we newbies know some of the tech words. Plus, they never tell you were to find the tools or really explain what the hell they are talking about. I have to ask all these questions. I know, no question is dumb when trying to learn this crap. But come on, learn to write out the lessons in ENGLISH please. So, I am trying to do this myself through trial and error in which I think most learn that way unless they have taken a class at their nearby school or college. When I got PSP 9 they gave me the book and it is the size of the NYC telephone directory. Dang, this is going to take me longer than I thought. But, I am so determined to learn this and I will. Then, you will see some of my shit on here. Okay, I have done a few. Looks like a kid learning how to use a crayon.

I really should be paying attention to fixing up some things in my house instead of the stupid program. I started too and became bored with it. I get that way all the time. I think it is because I am ADD. No wonder things are so half-assed done in this house. My whole family is like that and you would think we have someone that isn't so they can help each of stick to one task at a time. Noooooooooooooo! I swear even the dogs are ADD too. One of these days I will get back to it when I become bored with what I am doing.
