Xanapus` Lair

YAY I got my Dell DJ back! Chip bought this for me for Christmas 2004 and I got it in January 2005. During the summer of 2005, the battery started dying slowly. The charge is supposed to last 8 or 12 hours, I forgot what it was, but suddenly it went down to like 6 hours, then 5, then 4 and so on until it wouldn’t keep its charge for more than 5 seconds. I stopped using it when summer was over and I didn’t call Dell to have them replace the battery because I was too lazy and had given up on...

I heard about this Nopalea (pronounced No-pah lay’uh) last year, but I haven’t tried it yet. I would like to try it because of the claims on their website. They say, do you suffer from inflammation and it’s related health problems? Then they list a few things like muscle, joint and body inflammation which causes joint, muscle and body pain. Respiratory inflammation which causes allergies and breathing difficulties (which I have). Arterial inflammation which causes heart health problems....

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of homemadedogfood.com for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Do you know what is in your dog’s food? Do your dogs even like their food? Go look at the ingredients on the bag of dog food, you can only pronounce a few words. What’s frustrating for me is that no matter what brand or flavor dog food, my dog won’t even eat it unless it is her last resort. I have a friend who is a chef who told me many years ago that she has a recipe for dog...

I have been waiting for Dark Shadows for a few months and I couldn’t wait to go see it. I never had the chance to see the original Dark Shadows because I wasn’t born when it first began and I was only a baby when it ended, so I never got the full experience. I actually didn’t even know about it until I saw an episode of King and Queens when it was brought up because there was a convention that Spence (Patton Oswalt) was going to go to but his girlfriend wouldn’t let him go only because Carrie...

Last night was the monthly PFLAG meeting here in Bakersfield. Robin Tyler, who is the first out lesbian comedian was the speaker. She was talking about the history of gay rights and she wasn’t just very funny but also informative. After she finished with her speech, everyone wanted to have their picture taken with her and luckily I was able to get her to pose for one with me. I personally hate taking pictures, but I am very proud of this one because it was with a legend.

I don’t know why but The Lord of the Rings Online just won’t load for me. I load the game and the launcher checks the files and let’s me type my password and then choose my server and then it finishes that and my screen is supposed to turn black so the game will load. It hasn’t loaded in maybe a month and half or 2 months. I couldn’t figure it out. The only thing that was worrying me was that my house would get locked and they would start charging me fees, so last night I decided I was going...

I like to consider myself a science fiction nerd because I like shows like Star Trek and movies like Star Wars. I actually love anything space related, but I don’t always get to watch them because if I miss even one episode, I feel like I am lost so I just wait until I can watch the series at a later date. Battlestar Galactica originally aired on the SyFy channel (Sci-Fi back then) from 2004 until 2009 and I missed every episode. I think the reason I missed it from the beginning was because I...

It’s a shame that people have to live in fear of home invasions. We have been living behind bars for 18 years. Most people hate bars on house windows because they feel like they are in prison, I just feel safer with the bars. Our tenants were burglarized last year, the burglars got 2 laptops, a Nintendo DS, jewelry and money. They didn’t just steal their belongings but they also destroyed the dresser drawers. The cop told them that they got what they want, they probably won’t be back. One of...

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Kia Rio for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. When you are driving, what songs do you like to listen to with the windows rolled down? I personally don’t drive, but I do like to listen to music when I am in the car with Chip. I remember when I was a teenager in the 80′s and we used to drive with music blasting so the whole world could hear it, now of course I just have whatever is on the radio playing, but I’m too old to blast it now....

If you have been playing EverQuest lately, you know that they have doubled experience for their 13th Anniversary. Well, you know what that means right? It’s a Power Levelers dream! When I started playing again after 5 years of being MIA, I realized that I had to relearn the game from the ground up because I had totally forgotten everything. You know how they say it’s like riding a bicycle? Well, it’s sort of true, but you have to take a refresher course to get you back on track. What I did...

I listened to rap music when I was a teenager, although not too much but I did listen to it. I was never really into punk rock music, that is until I first heard Green Day then I was hooked. I don’t really listen to very much music anymore until I recently. I just now found out about a gay twin rapping duo and absolutely fell in love with their music. Watch their newly released video “The Let Go” and then read below. Go to their official website because there is another music video which I...

When people are at a park, the last thing they think about is how to buy any of the equipment they see, like portable aluminum bleachers or dog park equipment. It has never been something that I was ever curious about. I mean, I didn’t even know you could buy any of that stuff, especially online. Now I know. Terra Bound Solutions has Portable Bleachers and Aluminum Bleachers available in a variety of styles. They are generally used in schools, churches, sports fields and arenas and...

Thanks to Wm Rowe “There’s no hope for our economy” some may say. Or, “I was laid off; I’ll never find a job” others may whine. But this doesn’t have to be the case. Millions of Americans are actually regaining the American dream by starting their own companies. In fact, here in New York over 344,000 businesses have moved forward despite the odds. Agencies like NYS Small Business Development Center couple with the State University of New York to council with and train people to make their...

I wanted to post this a few nights ago but my blog stopped working… Chip and I met on March 25th, 1994 and have been together ever since. I wrote in my book about how I thought that our relationship wouldn’t go past the 10 month mark because my relationships before only lasted 10 months. I don’t know what it was about 10 months, but we have stayed together and now it has been 18 years. I think that this should be a lesson to naysayers who say that a gay relationship cannot last. I think we...

I have been in bloggers hell for the last 2 days. The night before last night I got an email from Blogsvertise saying that a post that I had written (the post before this one) was missing 5 days later. Well, I clicked the link and sure enough it was missing, along with the rest of my blog and my dashboard too. I immediately went to my websites control panel to find out what was wrong and that wouldn’t load. When it did finally load the database page wouldn’t load. All day yesterday I had been...
