FUMBLED

This is the "gluten for punishment" entry.. Today after thinking that Waterfox browser was the best thing there was out there I found that it has the same exact hiccups that the Firefox and Aurora browsers have.. So it will fade to third then fourth then fifth then off the tool bar and then likely deleted next summer when I go through and delete programs that aren't ever used.. What is the gluten for punishment about??  I checked the grand browser (not IE)   Chrome thinking why not try to give this browser a try after being screwed by it twice in a four month period last year.. And so there I was just a little while ago trying to get the "speed dial" set up to be identical to my Firefox set.. The FVD was there and I thought here we go but there was a slight problem, it is the FVD 3D version which looks so cool and really something that I'd love to have on Firefox as well.. I took the speed dial  file set to be synced with that browser but it would not take.. Why??  They are by the same developer, same framework (I thought) but it would not sync.. So now what?  I did  a Google search to try to find the answer.. There was no answer.. Why would you even try to take the speed dials from the FVD that runs on the same computer and the Firefox browsers and expect them to sync in the Chrome browser??  Seems like a good idea, but after trying for  a while I gave up.. To get the Chrome version to work, I will (would) have to load all the dials from Firefox to Chrome.. The easy way to do that is to just NOT use Chrome.. So that is what I am doing.. I call it a sign from the computer gods that would have likely made me use Chrome for a few months and then have it lock up like it did.. Only thing is that speed dial thing that Chrome comes with  basically sucks.. I would rather have the dials set the way I want them rather  than have a whole eight pages like they have.. I never could figure out how to get that thing to load the way I wanted.. The three times I got it to load right it took a lot of trial and error.. But after almost a year ago .. about now as  a matter of fact, I switched to Firefox and never looked back.. much..

Read in the news paper today in a column written by one of the writers (imagine that) about her mother and she died of cancer in the local hopspital (spelled wrong for effect)..  Her mom was admitted and they did an exploratory surgery and found she had cancer all over.. They gutted her "like a carp" and doing that weakens the body's ability to heal.. And when you have cancer it makes it impossible to heal.. I read that and instantly thought of dad how the Monday after he was admitted and they said he had a infection that they went on ahead and tried to put a new stint in him.  That made me mad as hell and still to this day I blame that procedure for him dying.. It might not have been the only reason, but I think if they had consulted one another (dipshit doctors wise) they might have thought about waiting until dad had gotten well over the infection before doing that.. Maybe..  I always have said if I ever win the lottery I would hire someone to investigate that down there ..  It might seem like a waste of money but I would really like to find out if they neglected to talk about why he was there.. it wasn't his heart, that happened sometime in the hours before he got down there, it was an infection.. It was why he was in the ICU there for that Friday..  Hmmm  oh well we'll never know..  It's why I have trust issues with the medical community..  that and everything that has happened since then.. Including the latest round of doctor induced stupidity.. More about that on another entry..
