I was just eating a roast chicken and drinking an RC cola when I saw this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPaCwpuZzUM

So, being a comic artist, I love having a variety of backgrounds to use as time savers. Backgrounds on home interiors, cities, towns, forests, cabins, bars, castles, etc. It just speeds things up so much to have existing backgrounds at the ready. So it's no surprise that when I see a background I can use in an anime, I screenshot it, and then add it to my files. But recently I discovered a website called Pixelcut, that allows me to make more backgrounds from anime screenshots I'd otherwise never be able to use. The website uses AI to remove and add things to an image. Wanna take an anime character, or several out of the shot, no problem. The AI edits aren't super quality or anything. But it's free. But it only lets you make three free downloads a day. However, I've noticed that if you just open the site in another browser, you get another three free downloads. And even though it reduces the size when you get free downloads, you can just run the images through a free AI upscaler, and they look fine. It's a bit of work, but it's free backgrounds that would otherwise be hard to get.

1948 to 2025. Let's take a moment to remember a true legend in the music industry.

.................................See you on the other side Ozzy.

So, I reconnected with my friend ++++ who ghosted me a few years ago. He got a jury duty summons in the mail, and it was in my PO Box for days, and I was worried he'd get it too late if I forwarded it in the mail. So I drove to see him. My friend &&&& did the mail handover, but ++++ came over to see me, and we talked. We both admitted fault on some stuff and apologized to each other. He admitted he was really angry about some stuff from how his life was going. And he's gotten much better. I admitted I was too used to having him around, and didn't want him to leave when I should have been helping him find a place sooner. And after we lived together for two years, we both got angry with each other. But now he's doing great. He's put on a little weight, he had some awesome looking clothes with vintage style sneakers, and he's in a good financial place now. I'm gonna take it slow reconnecting with him, because of the distance we live apart. But I'm glad he's doing good. And I'm glad I've reconnected with him. I've known him since I was 13, he and &&&& are my two oldest friends. While talking to him, I pointed out he was right about my sister in the things he said about her five years ago. I gave him the short version on the situation, and he was mortified. He couldn't believe how far my sister ha fallen. But at the same time he was happy we kicked her out, because we don't need her toxic. So aside from all the erands I had to run in 93 degrees, today was a good day.

My eldest nephew thought he'd give his mother another chance to come around, and he just went to talk to her. She apparently still doesn't have a job at the moment, and is living in a house with a bunch of dogs that stinks something fierce. My sister has apparently just been passing the blame on everything, and denied a whole bunch of things she did. My nephew called her out on her drug abuse, and they fought. Then he had to leave, and he was unfamiliar with the area, so I had to go out and get him at like 10 pm. I bought him dinner, and he's spending the night in my camper. Poor kid has only just gotten his first job. He can't stay with us full time, because we don't live in a place near bus stops, my parents and I are all on fixed incomes, and I can't afford to spend money on gas driving him back and forth so much. I'm gonna have to get him to work early in the morning tomorrow, and we need to figure out where he's staying from there. He's gonna have to save for the rest of summer to be able to afford his first apartment. He'll probably have to have a roommate too. He can't go back to his dad, because he doesn't live near bus routs either. So right now he's couch surfing. If he had a job much closer, it'd be easier for him to stay with us. But he doesn't have a driver's license, and he's broke till payday. He's only working part time, so he's not making a lot till he can get a full time job. I'm gonna try and convince him to apply to a local small store a couple miles from us. His mother used to work there, but the place is under new ownership now. So it's a clean slate. Either way, that's the current situation.

Ok, so I went to DHS today for my yearly health insurance renewal, and they pointed out something with the paperwork I was mailed that I didn't notice. And to sum it up, it says they want to cancel my coverage because of lack of change to my health. Like, WTF man! What kind of logic is that. I try not to need to go to the doctor. On disability health insurance, I should be a model client that doesn't abuse the system. I hardly ever need medication, I see my doctor once a year, I comply with their checkup phone calls. Why the hell are they trying to drop me? DHS claimed it could be an error. And I've got an appointment set for this upcoming Wednesday. But right now I'm just pissed.

Also, I haven't been on FA lately because I've just been burned out after coloring so many comic pages so quickly. So I'm just trying to relax.

I thought "No way!" But it's actually legit!

Yesterday I went to my eldest nephew's graduation, and it was very hot out, and just walking a block after parking was giving my parents heat stroke. So before going in I decided to go get some drinks from a Taco Bell nearby. My parents just wanted large waters, I wanted soda and a soft taco. But when I got in there, they don't take orders at the register anymore. It's all done via a large self-service tablet in the back.

Right as I get in line, some kid nearby asks me to buy him something. I bluntly said no, and went back to waiting. The teenage guy in front of me was taking forever, and then his card came up short for the order. And then he got on the phone with his mother, and started begging her to transfer him a dollar so he could complete the order. And the mom on the other end of the phone seemed to act like she couldn't speak English or something, because the guy kept telling her the situation over and over again, and she just didn't seem to understand. Other teenagers there started shouting at him that he was holding up the line, and I ended up pulling a dollar out of my wallet and saying "For the love of god, HERE!", and told him to go settle things at the register. Which he tried to refuse at first, and then finally took the dollar and got out of the line. And that same nearby kid that asked me to buy him something also kept asking me for a dollar. They also asked an employee for free food.

The self-service machine had no way of ordering large waters along with the rest of my order. At the local Taco Bell in my area, waters of any size were free with food order. But they apparently don't do that anymore with the new system. They tried to give me two dinky little cups to fill with water to take to my parents, and the employee told me that's the only way they do free water. So I had to go back to the self service machine, and order two large sodas, just to get large waters for my folks. My mother kept calling me to hurry up over and over again, and then I finally managed to get out and hustle it over. My parents thought the whole story was hilarious, but never want to go into that restaurant again. I'll stick to their drive-thru.

On top of all that, my sister tried to boycott my nephew's graduation, all because he wanted to take a framed photo of my sister's ex-boyfriend that she basically pushed to suicide. It turned into a huge fight, and my sister said she wasn't going. But did finally show up at the last minute. I'm thankful we didn't sit anywhere near her, and she avoided us like the plague. My dad was the only one who got a good look at her, and said her face looked worse than ever. That's what drugs will do to people.

Ok, so.... A couple of days ago I bought a new microwave. Turned out to be too big, overpowered, and it had this weird electronic lock system that required me to press another button just to open it after activation. What's more, said button was tiny and barely noticeable. And I hated it. So I returned it yesterday for a smaller one that was Black & Decker brand. It was the only other microwave in the discount store that I even considered, and it was $20 cheaper than the first one I picked. The replacement microwave has a black interior and a dim light inside, and it also cooks too fast. And, it also has the fucking electronic lock system on it!

I googled this electronic lock, and found that it's a child lock, and it's a requirement for all new digital microwaves since 2024! Thankfully the one I just got has a system to disengage it, and I managed to figure it out. That said, the inside of the microwave is really dim, and it cooks stuff too fast, just like the last one. It started to overcook a Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwich at just a minute and thirty seconds. It's got the same problem as my old microwave. It cooks things too hot in the center of the plate, So I have to move the breakfast sandwich to the edge of the plate to cock it right. I just can't win....

On a side note, I've began coloring a short sheep comic called :They Threw Her Away, So I Made Her My Wife. So expect to start seeing pages soon.

Yeah, the little red bastard finally threw in the towel. That's a $100 I'm not looking to spend today. But I don't trust thrift store microwaves. There's like a 50/50 chance they make things too hot in the middle. And the microwave that just died was sorta second-hand. It was left behind by my entitled sister after we evicted her, and even she left it in storage as a used spare. I just started using it after my previous microwave died. And that one was $80 from Home Depot like ten years ago. Just more money down the drain..... But I can't go without having one.

I did some yard work the other day, and my sinuses have been going crazy since then. Antihistamine takes the edge off. But barely. I keep getting sinus headaches and migraines that leave me debilitated a lot. Not sure how long this will last.

Yesterday I got a scam text on my phone claiming that $500 had been debited from my account for Paypal. I don't have Paypal. So I went to my bank just to make sure it was bullshit, and it was. But then the bank noted a strange direct withdraw from PGE for over $230. My last bill to them was for $126, and I mailed it off Tuesday. At first we were thinking fraud. But the amount taken from my account matches exactly to my parents' last power bill. So basically, PGE somehow used my account number to pay my parents' power bill when my dad called to pay them over the phone. And now they're about to cash a check for $126 on top of it. So we're gonna have to force them to return the money to my account. No idea what it's gonna take to do this. But we're not letting it go.

Anyway, I recently turned 39. Just a step away from the big 40 now.... But at this point I mostly don't care. Hitting 30 seemed a worse milestone for me. I'm a loner who draws porn. What shits do I have to give about my age to the world? Not many. But in typical fashion of my sister, she had my nephews on the day of my birthday because her ex-husband was away at drill. And she sure as shit didn't even have them call to say hi. So we figured we'd just wait a week and then celebrate. But no, my sister has the boys this weekend too. So we can't do anything until another week goes by. And it's eating my mother up, because we didn't celebrate at all. But my sister has kept my nephews from my birthday for years out of sheer pettiness towards our mother. In 2023 she took the boys out to Dave And Busters on my birthday, and promised she'd take me out another day to make up for it. That never happened. Then in 2024 my sister tried to forbid my nephews from ever visiting us again, and refused to even let them see us on my birthday. She lost her mind when later told that she doesn't have the parental power to prevent visitation anymore. And later on she tried to apologize to me. But I know her. She only did so because she knew how pissed I and her kids were at her. But she did zero to try and make up for it.

Anyway, as a bit of a birthday gift to myself, I ordered one of those extending steel baton things. Always wanted one. Just never got one till now. It's a 26 inch extending steel baton designed for self defense. I always thought them cool AF. But just never bought one because they were kinda expensive in store. But I saw one on Ebay for $35 and decided to get it as a "Why not!". It'll be a god weapon to carry on me if we have wildfires around here again and I have to go on patrols.

Well my mother is out of the hospital for a day now. But she's got almost no sense of balance. She can't go up stairs without help, and she needs a cane almost constantly. We got to narrow down what's causing this, and when we do, recovery will likely be slow. And she probably won't fully get better.

As for the fucking trailer my sister left here! The dealership doesn't want it! They looked it over and said the roof is shot, the linoleum is delaminating, there's lots of pet damage, rust, dry-rot, and it needs new tires. They literally told us they could only offer four grand for this trailer, that my grandparents currently owe $45K on. My mother thinks they should just let it be repoed, and take the hit to their credit. But even if they do that, the bank might still come after them for the loss. It's a no win. nobody will want to buy this POS trailer after what my sister did to it. She had it like five years, and put double that onto it. We REALLY don't want this trailer to come back! And we're hoping to god it can be taken somewhere else.

My mother just went back to the hospital. She had some kind of seizure, and was incoherent. My dad had to call an ambulance. And they had to force her out of the house. And she kept trying to tell me something. But over and over again she was saying something about boarding something up. And then she tried to mouth it to me. She was acting like it was some kind of conspiracy. She might be in the hospital for a week again.... Last time it was for severe vitamin deficiency. Might be the same thing again this time. I remember her doctor told her to stop taking the pills that help with water retention. But my mother didn't want to stop taking them because her ankles would swell, and she'd find them ugly. But those damn pills were eating up the potassium in her system. Plus, she won't quit drinking. It doesn't take much alcohol at all to get her drunk anymore. Something tells me the doctors are really gonna let her have it this time.

Yesterday afternoon my sister's trailer was finally hauled off to be sold in a used RV lot. There's still about 45K owed on it. And my grandparents will be lucky to get 25K on the resale. But it should hopefully cut the debt my sister left them with in half. My grandpa is someone I've almost never seen angry. But yesterday he showed some genuine anger. He didn't rant or anything. But he spoke about how my sister just had to have a brand new trailer, and not a far cheaper used one. And we all agreed with him at once. But yeah, the freaking trailer that made us miserable for years is finally out of here!

As for my sister. I wish I had some FAFO justice boner update. But from what little I can find out, she's still doing ok. Never mind she's possibly been committing fraud or doing other illegal things to keep an income without a job. And now I've heard she's looking for a job. And that she previously had one lined up, but it fell through. My grandmother told me this, and my mother said she'd hope for her. I told them both that I gave up hoping for her long ago. And I'll believe it when I actually see it for myself that she's trying to better herself. And it's not like she's doing it because she wants to. She's doing it because she's been completely cut off from the family support system. She's not getting money or support from any of us anymore. Especially not from me. And she's got no choice but to actually try to make a stable life for herself if she ever wants to actually survive without even worse karma hitting her in the future.

On a side note, I redid one of cool1263iej's drawings of his OC Shirley Morkov. https://www.deviantart.com/cool1263.....uty-1182750712

Ok, so I just went to meet my parents for Taco Tuesday. Only to find out their new credit card wasn't working, and I had to pay their tab. Then they begged me to buy them booze on the way home. Turns out they're broke. I ended up going off on them like they were children. My dad took it well. My mother, not so much. She started sounding a bit like my sister, because she kept remarking to not liking being told what to do. I gave her a long speech and forced her to not interrupt. My parents are on retirement disability. And they're eating out like four days a week or more. And a couple weeks ago I found my mother collapsed drunk in the yard because only a few drinks get her wasted now. And I pointed out that some of the issues my sister has come from her genetically.


My mother ended up getting weepy, and kept saying they'd pay me back. But I kept telling her that wasn't the point. I know that they'll pay me back. Unlike my sister they've always paid me back. My problem is the repetition of them repeating the same cycle. My mother keeps saying she's going to stop drinking, and that only lasts like a week at most before she's drinking again. And they're going out and spending money they don't have because they're not used to living paycheck to paycheck from their retirement. And they still have debts they're paying off. I told them they need to go to a financial advisor. Which apparently they've already been planning that.


My dad kept complaining that food at home sucks, and how they're sick of cooking. And my mother has to stick to a mostly vegetarian diet because of her fatty liver. Oh, and I just found out their kitchen stove is broken. I told my parents that I eat out like two days a week. That's why sometimes I bring home roast chickens instead. One of those is $6 at the local Winco. And I know what it's like to basically live out of a microwave. But I deal with it because I want to be able to save money. My parents did keep making excuses. Though mostly my mother. And my dad admitted I'm right. For now they'll get their monthly retirement pay in a couple days. And they've got a harsh life lesson to think about. I know it's not gonna change them much. But it's a start.

Ok, so the shitty flashdrive I had all the comics, H-manga, and art of other artists liked died for good not too long ago. You wouldn't believe what I had to do to extract data from this thing little by little. I could only keep it going for a minute or two at a time before it'd overheat and shut down. And then I'd have to throw it in the freezer, just to cool it down and then continue the download. It got so bad I was even freezing it in ice, just to make it last a little longer. But when it finally died, I only got about 60% of what I had on it. I lost my MLP file, Swat Kats, Transformers, MTF Transformation comics, Voluptuous Manga, Tiny Toons, One Punch Man, and Twin Milf Manga. I arranged things in easy to identify file names, just so viewing them was easier. Fortunately most of what was lost is replaceable with time. But it just sucks I lost all that data. Fortunately nothing lost was my own art. I have that on a different drive.

Just as the title said. And the pipe is not in a place we can easily get to. We'll have to tear out a whole section of wall just to get to this pipe. I've suggested to my parents that it may be easier to run new pipe under the house to the needed locations. Which they're considering.

So I finally figured out how to use the Wayback machine to go through the Peter Is The Wolf website as if it were well over a decade ago. And it took some time following random links and got to a website called Superboobsonline, which connected me to WLPcomics. I finally found the images I was looking for there, but the page had to be set to 2012 through the Wayback machine. I still can't find the comics they belong to sadly. No one seems to have ever posted them. But I'm still happy I found these. From what I recall, the written context for these comics was: "Jerry Feeble's father has been missing for a long time. And his mother has been growing ever more lonely. Can Jerry find his father and be spared from an incestuous task?" That's loosely what I can remember it saying. So it's likely far from exact.

https://www.deviantart.com/stash/0ezsx5go21c

Sadly after all that hunting, these are the only images that can be found. At least by me. I would love to see the full comics of Son Of Not Ninja High School in their full glory. But it seems like they may never have even been pirated. And I'm guessing whoever owns a copy isn't inclined to share the series. If they even still have them. The page that these images come from is long defunct, and only accessible through things like the Wayback machine. But these images are something that really need to be saved, before they end up lost forever

A decade ago through the Peter Is The Wolf webcomic site, I was able to find bits of a comic series called Not Ninja High School, which was a parody of the old Ninja High School comic. Only the first issue of this comic seems findable on google searches, with scant bits of art of the other stuff posted around. Rule34xxx has a bit more. But it's not the good stuff. Most of the better stuff is completely gone at this point, and even ebay only has the very first issue for sale, for $400. And it's the one I can easily find free scans of. There is some other related stuff, like a comic made by Fred Perry. But it's not really what I'm looking for.

Through the Peter Is The Wolf website, I found pics of the newer Not Ninja High School that they were endorsing. The art was excellent, and I can't imagine why this western manga never made the internet rounds. But all the bits of it that I had, I lost in a hard drive crash ten years ago, and the images were removed from the Peter Is The wolf website before I could save them again. I only really managed to save one thing. And this is it https://www.deviantart.com/stash/01roijefpvbv

Google reverse searches don't find a damn thing. And neither does Sauceno. This truly may be lost to the internet. The bits of this comic that were shown online again looked absolutely great. The MC Jerry Feeble is a parody of Jeremy Feeple from the original Ninja High School western manga. At one point in the newer Not Ninja High School that this image comes from, it was even implied Jerry's own mother was out to seduce him because his father had been missing for years, and she was lonely, horny, and dynamite hot with an apron and vacuum cleaner. So Jerry had to try and find his father before something between him and his mother happened. But again, these images and maybe even whole comics are just gone, and nothing I do seems to be able to find them. The most I can seem to figure out is that the artist may be bar1scorpio, and I've sent him a message on Furaffinity. But I don't know if he'll respond.

So, just about 45 minutes ago I got a knock at my door. And it was my sister. My parents acted like she had no car to come out here with, let alone have the guts. Boy were they wrong! I was shocked to see her, but kept my cool at first. She wanted her mail with her tax papers. We had that mail sitting around for months, and eventually it got thrown away. I told my sister I'd go to our parents house and look for it. And right as I started walking, she asked for her cat back. I told her I do have the cat, and I'm not giving him back. That's when she went off on me. I held my arm up, and told her I wasn't doing this right now. And as I turned around, I saw that cat freaking running away from her.

My sister got back in her car and started saying terrible things about me. That's when I lost it and screamed at her to leave. She started driving away while yelling that she's lost everybody here, I'm a bad brother, etc. She gets outside the gate, then stops and starts backing up. So I closed the damn gate. She starts flipping out on me screaming "I hope mom was worth it to you!", and said she'd report me for keeping her cat. I screamed at her that when she really lost me, was when she told me our mother was going to die for crossing her! And then I called her out for not buying winter clothes for her kids. She claimed that was after her ex got custody of them. But no, it was before that! Her youngest son came to me in 39 degrees with nothing but a t-shirt and shorts! He didn't even own a coat! I spent $200 on clothes for her kids from the thrift stores! And she still owes me $800 for unpaid power bills!

We kept screeching at each other, and she kept talking about how I chose mom over her. So I brought up her biological father, who wasn't there for her, her entire childhood. She had to go looking for him when she was in her 30s! He never paid child support, cheated on our mother, and ran to Arizona! She yelled her father is a good guy. I yelled back her father is a piece of shit! Then I called her a narcissist who just blames others, and she needs a villain in her life just to function. And then by some miracle our parents showed up. Our mother tried to sooth her, and I walked away for a couple minutes. But she was losing her mind. I ended up yelling at her some more through the gate. And after I walked away a second time, my mother told me my sister called me a Fucker and drove away.

I'm furious, and my drawing arm fucking hurts from my recent stitches and tetanus shot. But unloading on her like that was sooo cathartic! She made me miserable for 37 years of my life! I've got the cat booked to be chipped on Monday. So once that's done, if my sister steals him back, I can call the police on her. And I won't hesitate to do that. Also, I wish I'd remembered to call her out on how I know she's a cheater. She still thinks I don't know. She had at least 3 affairs. One of which was with one of our cousins. She's a really fucked up person. And she blames it all on her dead boyfriend that committed suicide by ramming his car into a tree. The guy cheated on her with another woman in her own bed. And she said that's why she didn't want to come home. No, she was fucking out getting high, was barely home two nights a week, barely fed her kids, and didn't even buy them winter clothes! That's why we evicted her in December of 2023! She is a terrible person, and an even worse mother!

I was helping to fix my parents' water heater. It figures theirs would go out right after my mother's hospital scare. My water heater went out on me last year at the same time as I had a mechanical scare with my truck. When it rains, it just fucking pours! I had to have a Tetanus shot too, and my whole arm hurts! I'm not gonna be able to do anything with it for like two days. I can barely type with it. And I'm left handed. So that sucks!

When trying to fix my parents' water heater, the bottom element in it was stuck. And the cheap tool I had for the job stripped. So I had to buy a 1 & 1/2 inch socket just to get the stuck element out, and my parents were out over $50 for the new elements and thermostats. While pulling on the sucket wrench, my hand slipped, and I backhanded some old sheet metal cover thing that was in the water heater compartment. It was bleeding like a mother fuck!

I quickly wrapped it in paper towels and masking tape, but the whole bandage turned red in a few minutes, and I had to replace it. My parents were getting emotional and freaking out. They wanted to go with me to the Urgent Care, but I told them to stay home and chill. I spent and hour and a half waiting to be seen. One of the people there added another bandage on top of the one I already had on, just because of the blood that was starting to come out of the one I had on.

They finally put me in a room, and I was sitting with my hand on a table for a while, till a doctor finally came in and cut the bandage off. He cleaned the wound, and then pulled out a syringe with a like two inch long needle. He stuck it under my skin and just started moving it all over the place. That was not pleasant! Normally in the past I'd look away when doctors stick me with a needle out of habit. But I just don't seem to care anymore. It's weird looking at it though.

I got three stitches, and a Tetanus shot that they told me would make my arm sore for a couple of days. It was the fastest Tetanus shot I'd ever seen. The guy just stuck my arm with it, and it was out as fast as it was in. Right now I can't even move my arm a certain way, or I get shooting pain down my wrist. So I'm gonna have yet another delay on drawing. It hurts just to type.

After six days in the hospital, my mother is back home. She was absolutely miserable in that place. She couldn't get a decent night's sleep, they wouldn't let her use the bathroom on her own, and kept her on a liquid diet half the time. And when she was finally released, the hospital lost the cane I gave to her. Which she's furious about, and wants them to find it. I want to go over to the hospital to get my mother's cane back, but it's snowing today. Not sure if I can risk the roads.

From what I know, my mother had both critically low potassium and sodium. I'd heard Pancreatitis was also a factor, but she denied this. Either way she still needs a cane to walk. I lent her mine. I keep one for if I get hurt. Was a big help when I hurt my back a few years ago.

My evil sister visited our mother once in the hospital, and she showed up at 1:00 AM. And the whole time she was there, she made herself the victim. Oh, our mother is very ill and nearly died, but my sister is the real victim here because she's a drunk and drug addict in severe denial. What a bitch! That's not even where this ends. My sister texted me from a new number asking for her tax papers that were mailed to us. We had them for some time, but she never came to get them, so they got thrown out. Then two days later my sister texted me an absolute novel of a text in which 80% was about making herself the victim, and the rest was passing the blame on others. And she had the nerve to end it with saying she loved me. I did not reply back.

As the title says, my mother nearly died. As far as we can tell, a combination of her medications caused her to get a critically low potassium deficiency. She couldn't even walk without being held up. I bought her a cane, but she refused to use it, and claimed she was embarrassed. I told her embarrassment was secondary to her health. She refused to use the cane till a doctor told her to use it. She ended up falling over and hurting herself multiple times, and she had to go to the ER. Had she gone any longer without treatment, she'd be pushing up daisies right now.

I'm stressed as hell about this, because she's been in the hospital about four days right now, and its causing family drama. My aunt laid into my mother for being so bull-headed about her health. My grandparents keep dropping by and overstaying their welcome. My dad can't spend more than a few hours a day with her because he has to be at home to look after their dog. And now my sister tried to show up at the hospital. Only she tried to visit our mother at 1:00 AM. And then she had the never to contact me today and ask for her tax papers. We've had mail for her for two months, and she hasn't even tried to come get it. And my dad threw it all out just the other day. And now my dad is on my case for even responding to my sister. I told him I'm not doing it because I want to. Withholding her mail could be considered a crime. And she's crazy. I don't want her causing trouble. Nor do I intend to keep talking to her. The only reason I haven't blocked her current number is because of the situation with our mother. But my stress was already high before my sister messaged me.

This really sucks! And all the stress has caused me to stress eat again. I'd just lost five pounds too....

For some reason my internet connection is really slow right now. It started two days ago, and it's like 2005 slow since then. I managed to speed things up a bit by running my CCleaner and removing some uneeded stuff from my favorites bar. But it's really annoying to have wifi this slow. This has happened before, but not to this extent. I'm wondering if it's weather related, or if our net provider is just not doing well at the moment. But after running CCleaner to remove a bunch of junk data, I'm having to re-sing into everything. And I really hate doing that.
