The other night I had rapid-fire hiccups, which is rare.  I remember someone told me that if I inhaled through my nose and exhaled through my mouth that they would subside.  The one time I tried it it didn’t work.  I decided to alter the remedy just a little this time.  I took deep breaths but I started them when I felt that I might hiccup.  They did subside after the altered remedy.  I tried my usual regimen of remedies but none worked.  I’m glad something finally worked and I hope this helps someone else.

I just did a manual upgrade to my blog.  It was easier than I expected.  I know I did it before but I forget sometimes, gotta keep it fresh.  Now I’m checking if my delivery plugin works, it says it should, we’ll see…

The time(6PM) I plug in my laptop, I thought, was the part of the day that was considered ‘off-peak’ hours.  I found out that 8PM is the cutoff point in change of peaks.  If you would like to find out the rates/peaks of your electric service, either call customer service or check out the ‘tariff’ information on their website.

This is just an article, which is about the latest threat I read that I thought, if you didn’t read it already, would be good for you to know about.  This article also has a fix link to get it resolved.

The actor that played Kicking wing on the movie, Joe Dirt, is a tracker on the movie, Cowboys and Aliens.  I’m glad he gave up the fireworks stand in the desert and went back to tracking, LOL.  He also was an Indian translator in the movie.  Once I noticed who it was, I checked the castings of both movies to make sure.  I laughed to myself when both names matched.  I’m glad things worked out for him.  I wonder if he was cast for that part in particular because of his part in Joe Dirt.

On my calendars I put a real-time clock for your convenience.

If I forget, which I did 3 days ago, to unplug my laptop after my 6 hour use window, I make up the time by not using the laptop for the amount of time in which I forgot.  For example, if I forgot and left it plugged in for 12 extra hours, I would not use it again for 2 days.  I am trying to discipline myself.
