Puke fest Mondays

Boy, I wish I knew how to keep viewership numbers up.. Although I've never had a blog that had numbers in the thousands per day-week.. I do have thousands per year but that might be the same five looking every day.. That's nice.. truth is this isn't supposed to have hundreds per day, although it would be nice to have a few every day.. twenty or thirty views last week really made me feel like sticking out my chest and thumping it.. "I figured out how to get viewership numbers up.."   No I didn't, someones browser probably got stuck somehow.. I've opened a page twenty times some how before.. I make zero dollars from all my Google sites, three blogs and two YouTube channels..

The router went nuts on me last Friday night, as i was getting ready to watch my Friday night fare on my new addiction, the Roku...  The router couldn't connect to anything wireless.. So my roku, moms roku and her computer were all no go.. There was a time when the roku couldn't interface with the router and I thought it was the router but it was in fact one of those rare times that roku main frame was down.. That is so rare when it happens.. Same as with Netflix, it rarely goes down, mostly because it can be very expensive in number of users they can lose fairly quickly. I know I tried for four hours to get the router to work.. The simple hookup didn't work.. And after trying for a few hours I tried to get the old netgear router to go.. It is the strongest of the three I have.. But it went bad and I thought it still had a little life to it yet.. Turns out it didn't.. Well that leaves the old 150.. Hope it still has a little in the tank.. By midnight I had the oldest router running.. How old is the oldest router?? Around four or maybe even five years old.. But the new router, the TP, is six months old.. To me, if you spend a lot of money on a router then it should last a while longer than a cheapy.. I have seen routers for under fifty dollars and this one was one of those.. They should tell you that this router has a lifespan of your normal everyday housefly.. I don't know what the expectant lifespan of a router is regardless of cost.. I think a year or two.. This router has a two year warranty, which sounds good until you try to get something done with it. For me however, Saturday would see me trying to get it to work again, a last ditch effort to save me the hassle of trying to send it to the manufacturer, and it worked, three or four dozen tried later it worked.. so what was the issue with it??  Good question.. It's one of those things that every computer related thing happens, it stopped working, and then as suddenly as it stopped, it started.. Happy days I guess.. But it makes you stay on constant edge about the router or whatever goes goofy.. How long will it last  or more to the point, should I get a replacement just in case.. I mean it's nice to have the old router as a back up, but there is a reason for it being a backup.. Why it was replaced in the first place.. 

There are certain foods I don't like.. Certain foods that I don't like but I can't explain why, or never could explain why.. Then my niece  got married to a guy and he was at a family members house and he said there are certain foods he doesn't like and it is the texture.. THERE IT IS.. The texture.. That and certain foods give me the pukefest issues or as i call it refund..   That is no more evident than today's breakfast cereal.. Malt o meal which is a wheat cereal. Hot cereal.. For the longest time I ate what was called Zoom, and it was a wheat cereal, hot wheat cereal.. Then about last June the stor stopped stocking it.. In a panic I started searching everywhere for it.. It wasn't in a store in another town.. IT'S JUST GONE... Looked for it on line and yes it was on Amazon but it was cost prohibitive.. Cost to much to get it, had to buy a case at a time.. Then i found another brand,  a cracked wheat cereal and gave it a try.. It wasn't the same as the Zoom, but was good enough.. Everything about it made it ok to eat.. Then about a month ago they stopped stocking it and i checked at every store I could to try to find it.. It couldn't be found, so last week I got the malt o meal.. This stuff has the texture of almost nothing. Tastes ok, but it is the texture that isn't sitting well right now.. So the search will continue for something better.  It's texture that kept me from getting Cream of Wheat.. And this stuff is the same.. Not what I wanted.. But I was willing to try..
