Two new tuts

WOW it's been sooooo hectic here, that I thought for sure I wasn't going to be able to do any kind of updates to the web site or even get the forum up. BUT I did it, between PT & OT for mom, I was able to get the forum up and running, and I even added two new tutorials to the site. Now the tutorials where written by Bouncer's Designs and I received her permission to share them. Which was cool of her, and she was great at writing tutorials, so it's a real honor to be able to share them. Any way I'm going to try and get a few more up this week :-)

At a stop

Right now I'm at a stop in my life.

I can't believe once again my mother decided that she was going to attemp to make it back to her bed, despite feeling dizzy and light headed. Of course she never made it completely, she ended up falling against the dresser and breaking her arm.

She already requires full care, but this now makes my life a bit more difficult cause what she was able to do for herself, now she can't and requires constant care. I love her to death and there isn't anything I wouldn't do for her, but sometimes I swear she's like one of my children.

Since her heart surgery back in 2000 she hasn't been herself at all. She's been in a real state of depression, which I've spoken to her doc about. Unfortunately we can't convince her to see someone and talk to them.

On top of it all, my son decided in a fit of anger to threaten to kill everyone in his school. So of course due to all the events in the past, they don't take that lightly. I know he wouldn't do anything, it was only talk, but they still have a job to do and I fully understand.

I'm just so warn down and tired.

Queenie'z Dezignz Web Site

I haven't done much updating to my web site. Been a bit busy with my forum instead. Trying to figure out how to set it so that spammers can't join. I've also been busy with my mother whom I provide full care for. So it's been a slow beginning this year for me.

Although I'm not quiet sure as to why I bothered with having a site or forum. It seems the psp world is getting smaller or something. No one is interested in joining groups and learning anymore. I'm not sure if it's due to the PTU or what it could be from.

Any way I'll have exclusive tutorials in my forum that won't be posted to my web site. Plus I'll be offer one of a kind tags as well. These will be only for those who are members. Plus there are exclusive contests for prizes like tubes from the PTU.

Well back to work ;-)

So I know!

Ya I’ve been a bit busy with fixing the shit hole I live in.

No I don’t take time for friends or anyone else in that matter and yeah I know I should, but hey wtf it’s life.

I’m going out of my mind with my son Josh, can’t seem to get him on track. Appears I’ll have no choice but to put a chins on him. Keeps stealing, lying, and just ignoring anyone and everyone. Doesn’t want to do anything with school, so he’s going to stay back in the tenth grade again.

My daughter Tanya on the other hand realized this year what potential she has, and finally is doing awesome. So far she has completed three quarters at Highest Honor Roll. WOOHOO!!!!

The two little ones Andy & Lily are doing great. Both are enjoying the schools out program. Lily just got an award for her participation in basketball. Even though the coach had no clue as to what she was doing and they lost all the games. She had fun and that’s what counts.

My mother is the same :-( she doesn’t do fucking much since her by-pass. I don’t think that will ever change for her. Sometimes it’s very depressing looking at her and seeing what she is, and knowing what she use to be. It’s like after having that surgery sucked the soul right out of her.

Ok my father, well what can I say. The man is fucking NUTS! Yup that’s about how to sum up my father.

Ok well that’s what I’ve been up too and that’s how everyone around here has been doing.

See Ya!

Panasonic Toughbooks

I must say these are durable laptops, but lousy for finding the proper software drivers for older models. I spent now three weeks trying to find drivers to reinstall in my laptop. Considering this thing is in the best shape ever.

Now I'm so frustrated that I could actually destroy the damn thing. I'm so tired of looking for the error messages and trying to find a cure for them. Well I'll continue my search and hope to GOD that I will be able to locate something to help.

Subject: Scrappy Expressions - GROUP CLOSING

After carefully reviewing the situation at hand .. I have decided to just go ahead and close Scrappy Expressions.

It is just not worth the emotional stress and constant headaches that keeps getting tossed at me.
I have enough stress in my life with the health of my Father right now without having to add more to it.

However; my blog will remain in operation so I can still share with you there.

So, without saying anything further .. this group will be closed as of Monday, January 28, 2008

Heath Ledger 28

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Actor Heath Ledger was found dead Tuesday of a possible drug overdose in a Lower Manhattan apartment, the New York Police Department said.

Heath Ledger was unresponsive when a housekeeper found him in a Manhattan apartment Tuesday.

The Academy Award-nominated actor was 28.
Ledger was found naked and unresponsive, facedown on the floor at the foot of his bed by a housekeeper trying to wake him for an appointment with a masseuse, said police spokesman Paul Browne.
"Pills were found in the vicinity of the bed," he told CNN.
"This is being looked at as a possible overdose, but that is not confirmed yet."
Browne later told reporters some prescription medications were found in the room, including sleeping pills.
But he stressed police have made no determination of the cause of Ledger's death -- that would be done by the medical examiner.
He said the pills were not "scattered about."
No note was found and there was no indication of foul play, Browne said. Ledger was found at about 3 p.m., and was pronounced dead at the scene by emergency personnel about 3:30 p.m. A crowd of onlookers, photographers and reporters gathered outside the apartment building after news of Ledger's death was reported. Police officers were guarding the doors.
Browne said he did not know how long Ledger had been renting the apartment, which he said took up the entire fourth floor.
An autopsy would be conducted on Wednesday, said Ellen Borakove, spokeswoman for the New York City medical examiner's office. Ledger's family called his death "very tragic, untimely and accidental."
"Heath has touched so many people on so many different levels during his short life, but few had the pleasure of truly knowing him," his father said.
"He was a down-to-earth, generous, kindhearted, life-loving, unselfish individual extremely inspirational to many."
