First Successful Test of Including a Photo...!!!

This is a Picture that i took with my Cell Phone
[ Nokia 3200 ]
Medium Resolution ( i think...??? )
( i use it for my 'desk top' )
It was then sent to:
www.att.wireless.com/myphotoalbum
Then the picture, there, was located amid all the advertising and opened,
then opened again so that it was presented alone on the browser window.
But-- Since "My Photo Album" is a '3rd Party' 'feature'
of The Cingular Phone Service;
In order to protect its autonomy (???) has its own addressless window,
Such that the http:// address isn't visible...!
To find it, you have to click the right-finger button on a Wintel Mouse,
Which brings up a Information Window that does have The Address.
This is then inserted into this page, and pre/suffixed with an: img src= ...
Which allows you to view it.

The very bottom of this; ( Which is a list of guidelines when riding the buses here in Honolulu... )

Says: "No Spitting, Exporating, Urinating or Defecating."

Exportating is a variation on Spitting, in which more thick & rich Phlegm is added.

On a related note-- These people never tell me when someone in the family has died...!

i'll always hear about it, weeks or months later, and only when someone slips up & 'accidentally' refers to such & such a person in the past tense.

After my aunt Jean died; My father, who lived about a hour away, sent me a post card on the morning that he left for her funeral. None of my other relatives, on that side, or the other, told me of her passing.

Months later, i heard about the funeral indirectly, in bits & pieces.

Is this a good thing?

i have never been to a funeral, and have, to the best of my knowledge, seen only one dead person, and that was a stranger on the streets of Honolulu. Curiously; the area that this man had fallen down in was well trafficked, but i was the only one to stop and check him out-- Noticing that he wasn't breathing, and was terribly cold to the touch. No one else seemed interested...! So i was left to run from building to building, trying to get someone to call 911 for me. After about 20 minutes, or so, Some lackadaisical Emergency Response Aids showed up, took no steps whatsoever to revive him, and used something that looked like a CardioElectroShock Dealie to determine if he was really dead or not. Apparently he was.

i'm just terrible in emergencies.

ugh.

  1. i'm very much annoyed that no one ever leaves any comments...!
  2. i'm also; very much annoyed that while i'm sick of hawai'i, and i would like to return to the mainland, all the places that i want to go to, are still very cold...!!!
  3. and then: i'm also very annoyed that i can't think of a way to organize the keys i have to my current generation of cabbage codes so that they look less contrived.
  4. while--i'm also very annoyed by more health problems. some of 'them' may have been brought about from stress... since everything is freaking me out lately...
  5. the good news is that my cold went away -- finally.
  6. [additionally] many correspondents are not answering questions; that were either included in eepmails, vivid dreams, moon reflections or tacit squeaks left by mouse-like rodents, millions of years ago.
  7. i just finished "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown. i've read one other of his book's, 'The Digital Fortress' and the two books have exactly the same structure...!!! ( a sure sign of a HACK...! ) while the book(s) is a 'easy read' and contains several interesting ideas... it only adds to the general impression that i have of the damp masses that they would pick this book to hold at top of the Best Sellers list for so long.
  8. if the book's assertion that the golden mean occurs so ubiquitously throughout the humanimal form...is true... and this ratio -does not- occur as frequently or at all, in other species... this would seem a fine argument for fundamentalist 'x's to claim that we are more than just mere accidents of Darwinian tomfoolery.

Recent Events ( End of Jan, Beginning of Feb )

  1. About three days ago, i was wandering around the Ala Moana Shopping Center in the morning, and i happened to pass this elderly woman sitting on a bench located on the lower level, the darkest, dingiest level; where all the cheap shops, lowly kiosks, rip off joints & banks are... and i saw what appeared to be a large stain with encrusted material on the back of her sweater... and i thought, 'Well, she certainly is presenting herself with a slovenly attitude...!' then; as i passed her, i became aware that this substance was apparently, ( according to it's unique odor ) the remaining stain & residue from a large mound of putrefying crap...! --- all well and good you are thinking to yourself, as she was completely unaware of this... But Wait...!!! The next day, i passed her again and it is still there...!!! Thankfully, Today; the encrustation is gone, as apparently someone... ( ? ) has scraped the crystalline material off, and washed the bulk of it out, as the principle odor was weakened &/but/while/additionally the stain remained. [ this is Hawai'i; the garden state ]
  2. i got a new cell phone...!!! the last time i tried doing this, it became one of the most traumatic events of my life, and was a principle contributor to my becoming so despondent that i didn't even try to find a new place to live after i was evicted from my tiny room in Bremertowne. But "Time wounds all heels.", and-- this time i tried a 'Prepay' plan offered by Cingular/AT&T ( Who are currently experiencing the highest rate of complaints of all the cellular phone providers...! ( ? ) ) The phone i got, is the Nokia 3200... it has a camera & an FM Radio and may or maynot be able to send FAXes...??? My Number is 509-990-2750 and my Messagedress/Eepdress for the Phone is 15099902750@mobile.att.net. i just cried & cried when they told me that i couldn't change that to something friendlier looking...!!! ( at least Sprint let me do That...! ) -- If you want to use a different eepdress, but it would still go to my phone; try mailto:chrstphre@mmode.com...!!! The first one is somehow part of the phone service, and this mmode one is part of the internet service...??? Do you have a cell phone...??? i've had this one for about 2 weeks now, and while nothing terribly traumatic has happened so far, i am bewildered by all the security codes, ID names and passwords that i have to use -Constantly...!!!-
  3. A few days ago; i was sleeping at my regular place, and while i think of myself as a light sleeper... waking every few hours to check what time it is, or whenever a peculiar sounding car drives by, or if it starts raining, or lightening, or thundering... Or whenever an 8_inch poisonous Centipede crawls over my face...! ( i've done some further reading on Centipedes and Millipedes... and what the books say; is that Millipedes are harmless vegetarians with really no more than 750 legs, While it's the merely dozens of legged Centipedes that have the severely poisonous females that like to attack hobo's in sleeping bags! ) So anyways... i turned over in a torpid state a few nights ago, and discovered another hobo soundly sleeping about 4 feet from me...!!! i didn't hear him coming up the squeaky wooden stairs or fumbling around as he lay down beside me...!!! Being the shy polite Asperger's lunatic that i am, i chose to simple ignore him, and then left early the next morning, as he slept on... --- Then the next night; he is there ahead of me, again; soundly sleeping, and i had to step over him to reach my favorite spot, which he considerately left for me...!!! The next morning, i again left before he awoke. This was a Monday, and i suspect that he was still sleeping when the people that work in that building arrived for their morning exercises...??? --- The net effect is that the next night-- he is not there...! and hasn't returned since. ( thank you jesus! ) So then last night; at around 11:30pm, i awoke just as another hobo looked in over the porches railing, and as i said; 'Hello there' -- or somesuch, he jumped abit, having not noticed me until that moment, and then quickly departed... Some people enjoy their privacy, just like me...!!!
  4. Had a little trouble with my cell phone, i was playing around with it this morning and attempted to enter the wrong 'PIN' code... which after several unsuccessful attempts, shut down & locked itself up...!!! i had to visit my Service Center to get the PUK code so that it would reopen it...!!! i have decided not to play around with the security features again...!
  5. The weather around here has been TERRIBLE lately... Minnesota might be having -60 evenings, but they're prepared for that sort of weather, while we here in Hawai'i are being ruthlessly hammered by nights that plunge into the lower 70's, accompanied by misty drizzles. ( gawd have mercy on our souls...! )
