Oof! Good luck. I gave up most years because they're such a nuisance. I did have small luck with vinigar and peppermint, but only very small.

Also, grasshoppers...holy halibuts, batman! I've never seen something sheer gourds to nothing like this year. So even trying gourds to deal with the squash bugs didn't work.

In a really twisted way, Youtube is a fairly big reason why a good number of people go outside, take up hobbies, etc.

There are very very few entertainers that have ever choked me up, but damn Richard Simmons and Newhart are definitely on that list. Rest well.

yep! Tried to leave back in 2017, but couldn't find a job, then screwed up by pushing myself to work electrical full time. If I hadn't torn myself up doing furniture delivery in 2000-2002, I would definitely be gone. So...damn...sore...Oof! And to top that off, when she finally let me use money for a doctor in 21, the meds messed up my stomach, and I'm so god damned dizzy as well.

 

I've been using one of the Pandora services, but I've been getting a little annoyed with the stations (which I presume I would get the same annoyance from other services, too). So I'd like to be able to create a station and add songs that I own and that wouldn't normally be in that station. (And I know you can add artists to the stations, but some artists only have a few songs I like, and I surely don't want the station inundated with similar artists of the music I don't like. Shudder the thought, 😬 ).

Spaghetti carbon-era would work, too.

Just finished the video, which is crap, buuuut is good enough, heh.

(my wife made this on her phone, and I just love it, heh).

Cast on 4 stitches.

  1. kfb S2 wyif move yarn to back, slip last slipped stitch to left needle. Knit in the front of the last stitch on the left needle, slip stich, knit in the back.
  2. kfb ( K1 S1 wyif )2 kfb
  3. kfb K1 ( K1 S1 wyif )2 K1 kfb
  4. kfb K2 ( K1 S1 wyif )2 K2 kfb
  5. kfb K3 ( K1 S1 wyif )2 K3 kfb
  6. kfb K4 ( K1 S1 wyif )2 K4 kfb
  7. kfb K5 ( K1 S1 wyif )2 K5 kfb
  8. K7 ( K1 S1 wyif )2 K7
  9. K3tog K4 ( K1 S1 wyif )2 K4 K3tog
  10. K2tog K3 ( K1 S1 wyif )2 K3 K2tog
  11. K2tog K2 ( K1 S1 wyif )2 K2 K2tog
  12. K2tog K1 ( K1 S1 wyif )2 K1 K2tog
  13. K2tog ( K1 S1 wyif )2 K2tog
  14. Reorder stitches (From left to right) as follows, 5,3,6,4,2,1

(Realized a little late that 5 & 3 could be knitted together before moving the stitches to the right needle, and would move the yarn to the left side for starting the I-cord knitting, but yeah, you can do that. If you don't do that, then just change the K1 in row 15 to K2tog).

  1. K2tog K2tog K1
  2. K3
  3. K2tog K1
  4. K2 Repeat 18 to the length of tail you want.

Pull tail through remaining two stitches. Sew in ends.

Notes:

Reorder stitches (From left to right) as follows, 5,3,6,4,2,1

WIthout using the tail, slip the first two stitches, slip the next stitch onto the front of the right needle, slip stitch, slip the last stitch from the left needle. Slip the first stitch from the right needle onto the left needle. Turn the left needle and knit those two stitches together through the back. (The video will help with this).

Added times to jump to different parts in the video description.

Ok! Hopefully that's all good...enough...

(and to make sure Lemmy or Connect doesn't remove my link, here it is in text form https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zzwqjmdkNd4...And Lemmy/Connect kept this link after posting...So I guess I don't need this...But I'll leave it down at the bottom anyway).

I'm rather curious about this, too.

I'll chime in with what I've personally dealt with.

Both Aroma brand

Glass lid, metal cooking pan has a lip that rolls outside of the heating base. Just a simple switch, cooking & warm. Does boil over once in a while, and fairly small...ease of cleaning, really really easy.

Enclosed unit, has a metal pan that goes inside and a steamer basket, has a removeable metal top to clean...haven't had it for long, but I can imagine the seals will deteriorate and make it not as long lasting as the other pan...However, those seals do make cleaning more difficult.

Added images to an album at imgur with proof showing the bill has the correct website written three times on the bill. Also, showing the address to both locations (As each other claim the other does not exist), and google maps showing Centura locations.

Update: 7-31-23

Like the energizer bunny, the stupid at this company keeps going and going and going and going.

Difficult getting a real human, so try to setup an automated payment via the automated system. Well, not my first time with this company, so don't trust them at all. Call back to verify, go through hoops and hurdles to get a real person. Nope, I only made a payment, ok, let me setup a payment plan. Ok, do you want to remove the payment you setup as that will not be added to your payment plan? What? Instead of paying x, you'll be paying x+y...Yeah, let's cancel that. Ok, set up the payment plan. Can I make the payment still? That wouldn't work because of how the payment plan is set up.

Seriously? Is that really that difficult for the programmers to write for your systems?

I tell you, dealing with this company does make me feel a little better. For, even how addled I have gotten, I feel like if they can run a major business, so can I, 🤣

End Update

I don't know a good spot to put this, but maybe this would be a good spot to just vent...It adds to the mental strain that's just absolutely bonkers...Plus, might be something for people to think about if they happen to go to the same hospital business a city over. Just 45 minutes away. Shown as an affiliate of the same business on their own website. 😶

Anyway, I saw a doctor a year ago, got x-rays and had an EKG. Fine. Will get a bill...Fine.

Got a bill in January, 6 months after from Centura...In Ohio...Not Colorado...What?

The statement says to send a payment or log in to their website. I log into their website, enter the account number...Nada...I do it again...Nada...Again, and again, and again...Nothing. So I call the number on the website (as I trust that over some odd bill from an address that I've never seen from this company before). The representative had no knowledge of it. The account didn't exist.

I even checked mycentura account, and I owe nothing...What? What? What?

Well, just yesterday I got a call from this questionable Centura company...finally...And guess what? They don't understand what I'm talking about...It's never been that way...I would never pay to Centura in Denver. Their billing offices are in Cincinnati. How the heck can there be two completely separate entities of the same bloody business?

Holy fuck!

Sorry for the cursing, but unfortunately, this warrants it. It's just so idiotic.

End rant.

[2nd attempt to post this. Removed some curse words and the h word as maybe the filters are a bit wonky or purposefully overly sensitive].
