It seems to me that I spent three days at Apple last week, and tonight I had to go back to get an adapter to work for my wifi and internet connection for Century Link. I am so tired of the high tech world that it is not even remotely funny.
I did find a wonderful technician at Apple who truly was kind and capable and did install my scanner mouse for me so that I can keep documents and pictures on my computer. His name was Joseph and a really great guy. I just checked now to see that the application is working.
I learned so much from this past week that told me clearly to learn what each one to one person is really about before I pay any attention to him or her. Some of the girls appear to be ignorant and stupid, while some of the men are super bright, smart, and helpful.
Today I had to go to the store to get an adaptor to get my internet connection made. That has not been done to my satisfaction yet either. A technician is going to have to come out to put in a wall jack with good wiring so that the internet will work. I have to call them in the morning mountain time at 8:00 which is 7:00 my time...I wonder if she gave me correct advice. She sounded so familiar to me. I almost wonder what scam is going on here now.
I do believe that the telephone jack is the problem so I am happy to have a technician come out to solve the problem. Will not share this but it is for me to recall this problem week. I hate high tech at times.

Ongoing Computer story
Guess what! Here I am sitting at the genius bar to see my superman genius Brandon here again tonight. I do not know if he is who will be tending to my problem or not but it is reassuring to see him here now.
I can at least explain the problem so that he can solve it if he is who is going to be working with me.
This apple store is the strangest store in the world. Sometimes people here are warm and friendly, and some are cool and frosty, depending upon what it is that you are doing. The greeters are always friendly, but the gals with the iPad checking you in are a variety of types.
to be continued as I listen in to Brandon discussing the girl's problem.

Continuation of computer story
Well, today is a whole new day, and I have learned a lot. I brought my computer to the clubhouse where I am using wifi here. My wifi will be set up sometime next week if the modem comes in soon. I don't know what to think now. I was told the modem would be here on Friday, but a post on the internet says that it was shipped out on Thursday, the 20th. Not likely to get here.
Another thing is that I came up to check out if this Brandon at Apple was any good at all in installing this mousescanner which I now see that he pulled a number on me. He did not really install it at all, and I am pissed and will make another appointment with genius to see to it that it does get installed properly. That entire problem was a situation that I should maybe explain. But I will wait it out til I see when I will next go in to solve this problem...which means for the moment I am going there and putting this on hold.
I checked out the scanner which did not work for me and I did not find any evidence of it on the launchpad. I thought at the time he was a bit of a fasttalking Sam. It reminds me too much of Dish.
Same sort of thing. I am tired of all this runaround crap especially coming from a reputable company like Apple.
However, he did have it working for himself but he did not set it up so that I could use it. My time is valuable too and I will remind Apple of that. Barbara, my neighbor, is a good friend to me to remind me to tell Dish that. And as far as Dish is concerned, I did call them about the free movies and he did set it up so that I can see free movies for 3 months from channels ****to ****.
More on this stuff as this blog is a kind of diary and journal for me to return to when I may need to remind myself of all that is going on.
One thing I love about this computer is that it enables me to use my own typing speed which is FAST.

Story on facebook made me confide some stuff
There was a story about a soldier and a few bunnies at Camp Pendleton today that motivated me to open up on facebook about my past state of deprivation. I am angry about many things as I had mentioned earlier that the anger in me is hotter than that of current forest fires racing through the Western States.
However, since during the time that I have had little income at all I have had spiritual revelations about myself that have opened up the truth to me about myself so that I equate wealth and poverty with spirituality much more seriously than even St. Augustine or St. Francis of Assisi have done. I do value and appreciate the background of the new Pope for his sincerity to the cause of St. Francis and even that of Jesus.
I do believe that it is because I had no income of any kind that I was benefitted spiritually and my spiritual powers came to be for me to understand. Of course, I am wondering at how recent events are affecting those same powers as I am always aware of their presence and their impact on me.
As time goes by, I will delve into this more but for the time being I have been having to deal with materialism on a scale of computers and television that puts me into the world of excess greed and avarice so that I am watching carefully my every step as well.
More on this later, since I now have to get ready to confront apple genius groups again. He was a bad ass it turns out in my opinion at the moment because he did something that I will discuss with another person there to learn what the heck is going on in that group.

Continuation of Computer posts
I had begun a post here to interrupt it to make an appointment with a genius person at Apple again today. I think I was scammed yesterday at Apple and so want to make it corrected today. The guy whose name is Brandon did impress me in that he did get the mousescanner to work but he pulled some shit on me that I do not like. I will not call him Jeb Bush but he said one thing to me that made me think of Jeb. He married a Mexican. Somehow or other that information made me think of Jeb and I know that Jeb character wise would not do to me what this guy did but the fact that he made such a point of his wife being Mexican from Chicago is something I do not ignore. I will pursue this further later but for now this is all I will say. I have made another appointment to go to Apple this afternoon at 6:00 to see another genius. The first one Richard did not show so Jeff said that he would do it but then Brandon came in and began to take over so that Jeff did not do it...what was up about that is more than I can know but later that evening one of the founders of Apple was on Piers Morgan. Coincidence? I frankly doubt it. But anyway, today I am finding that Brandon may have looked as though he was installing it and it did work partially for him but some of the info did not come up so that I think he was pulling a number. I will make them regret that as I intend to get this settled today. Period.

Barnes and Noble
This is a bit of a continuation of yesterday's computer entry. I just arrived at Kierland Commons to make my genius bar appt. at Apple for my computer. I came to B&N to check out books, found one that interests me now, and to work on computer before going to Apple to get help.
Will explain all this when it is accomplished but for now the trip here was intriguing. Spotted a white Lamborghini convertible whose photo I had to take. It was sitting in front of Victoria's Secret store and I took two photos of it. Am car hunting. Wondering who it is that owns that fantastic car.
Then found Little Elvises a book called the Junior Pender series written by Timothy Hallinan, making sure I remember this as the first chapter has snared me to see what is next.
The children are playing in the water fountains in the middle of the court. I was bemoaning lost childhood this morning. I am in a snit today.
I had had a meeting with my banker earlier this week. I have to read all the material that she gave me. I did not tell her about my expected income opportunities. I keep a lot of things to myself. I have just put in a new t.v. service and lo and behold to my surprise, it will help me to accomplish my goals. I learned so much already now from just this satellite dish that makes me furious that I had not known about it sooner. But never too late. I can make hay while the sun shines, Nellie.
I am angry at society and my entire life process right now. I have so many fires burning in me when I recall all the things that have happened that it is not even funny. I am hotter than any forest fire, and I am trying to decide how I will deal with all of this as I think about it.
But I always tend to put the anger things in the back while I work on the important get to it now things that need to be addressed so that I can get on with my life. Right now those are the computer and the t.v. and internet connections that will take place this week. All one thing at a time as I am at the age where that is all that I need to handle in a single day.
I have a great t.v. I did myself right on that score. I have done some singularly nice things to myself for my next years however many they may be. At least I will have a good finale to my life in terms of giving myself a good finish.
I am fed up with politics, with society, with government, with religion, with religious beliefs, and with people's foolish and mundane hopes and dreams that never get fulfilled, but always get the pollyanna look at the bright side treatment. Nothing annoys me more than false hopes and false promises. I do believe that as we have advanced in scientific discovery we have learned enough about the constancy factor in life to know that it is all repetitive and all final. I have gleaned things in a way that I believe in the revelations given to me so that I now perceive life in a far different way.
Example: a criticism of the North Korean dictator and his penchant for luxury items made me think of the comparison between him and Louis XIV and his grandiose ideas. I do see that the Korean dictator, young that he is, is totally impressed with Western lifestyles and is fulfilling his own desires in a way that will cast him in a special role in history. He is just a young kid. Louis XIV was also a young kid when he gained power. He took advantage of all his resources and built a kingdom that was truly the top and best in European history. Can this North Korean dictator do as much for himself and his people? I am challenging him here and now.
Will post now but will return later as I am headed for Apple store soon. More on this drama after it happens. I am incensed about it.
