Shopping for work pants

There is one chore in all my world that ranks right up there with going to the laundromat as "things I hate to do the most" and that would be shopping.  I admit, I'm a girl and I don't like to shop.  Unless it's rummaging, which doesn't qualify as shopping in my view.  Every so often, though, I have to work up the will to go to actual stores and hunt around for a pair of pants to wear at work.  Dockers, a brand introduced by Levi Strauss & Co., has been providing classy jeans and work pants since 1986. With fits ranging from Classic to Slim, there is a pair for everyone. Check some different styles out here!  I'm just not a fan of going from store to store, trying on pants.

Every time I do this, I end up feeling crappy about my figure.  I don't have a butt, my legs are too skinny and my waist is far too wide for the rest of my little self.  Therefore, as one might imagine, shopping for pants is not a happy time for me.  Shirts aren't so bad.  If I'm having a 'feeling fat' day, then nothing makes me feel smaller than a giant tee shirt.  If I'm having a 'lookin' good' kind of day, then a slim fit tee shirt fits the bill.  Everyone seems to have a particular style that they adhere to.  Except me of course.  I don't try to be difficult about it, but it always seems like I have a different clothing style for every mood I have.  Mostly, I wear black.  It's easy to match, suits my dark personality and sense of humor.  On the other hand though, I might see someone wearing a flowered skirt that I think is cute.  The woes of being a girl who hates to shop!

Fixing Speed Dial in Opera 11.10

In case this doesn't get fixed in the final version of Opera 11.10, here is the fix for the giant speed dial boxes that scroll, thereby defeating the purpose of speed dial in the first place.  In the address box type the following with no spaces  about:config  Then, in the search box, type speed dial, which will bring up the speed dial config section under user prefs box, there are some options: number of columns, speed dial file, state, etc.  Under speed dial zoom level, lower the amount from 100% to about 70%.  This will make it look about like before.  Enjoy!

Writer's Block and a Deadline

Everyone has something they are good at; I'm a writer.  I have been hired as a freelance writer on multiple occasions, to the benefit of both parties.  I have written many different types of custom writing for various clients, depending on their needs and my knowledge of the subject they need written about.  Sometimes, though, after a long while of not doing much on the writing front, my skills can get somewhat rusty.  Enter every writers nightmare: writer's block.  Sometimes inspiration can be difficult to come by so it's necessary to have several sources at hand to give a boost when needed.  If ever I get stuck on a particularly technical piece or with a subject I know little about, I can always get a professional to write my essay .  I can always turn to writers with advanced postgraduate degrees and professional business experience to help me get a paper that I can use as a source for my work.  It's nice to know that I don't have to worry abo...

Photobucket Sucks

This is going to be a 'Douche of the Day' award post that I usually do on my Wordpress blog . I was a happy Photobucket user for 11 years.  That's a long time to stick with a service so they were obviously a good one.  I was completely happy with the services provided on my free account and a couple of times, I made use of the print store in order to make custom gifts for loved ones for various occasions. Then all of a sudden, in 2017, they start sending me nagware. For those unfamiliar, nagware consists of popups/emails/messages etc that 'nag' you to buy their product. It's irritating, true, but not a deal breaker since I had a free account.  I just unsubscribed to the nagmails and just put up with it on the site. Then, however, Photobucket decided to do something I consider to be truly despicable. They made it to where you CANNOT download your photo albums (for backup or for account changes).  They actually REMOVED the download album links.  Why is that p...
