Links to More Than A Kazillion Sites

Trying to learn about all the sites which enable users like me who are wanting excellent content has lead me to Technorati Profile that I can further my education about blogging and how to create art inspired by the creator. To see what others and it amazes me how talented people are in their postings and displaying of art work. I normally us Renderosity forums to find out tips & tricks. Also by Google which has everthing I need either for work or fun. While trying to learn html, I find I'd rather just go to free websites for scipts.
Having to pay for items like Photoshop CS3, which is like a $1200 or more is too much for me and others who have produced alternatives like Gimp and Blender. Which for me is great so that I can create art and post scripts in order to hopefully share my thoughts , and life's issues I go through daily.

early mornings

Having to awake at 4:00am to call in to ensure a no call no show issue with the job is not so bad, but when I got a call for schedule change. It made me think - what's going on over there. Now no weekends are available, are there so many calls coming in on the weekends that they need people. How about the new class, shouldn't they be the support?
So no longer is the week end available I now will be getting Thursday and Friday off, no Saturday or Sunday combinations.
So while I await the outcome of FMLA, and the pain in my neck. I am seeking to get a scan or MRI from the doctor. Something has to done, either an operation or some more intense therapy.
I did get a phone set up for my dad while he is in a assisted living facility. ATT wants $230 + cost of a wall jack. Where as Charter, my Internet provider is doing the installation free with 3 months at $29. Now just to get him a phone to use.
They ice storm in the mid-west is really bad and being with out power for weeks can be trouble for all these people. Texas has this kind of weather and you wonder why people can't under stand the danger, but yet they still drive fast and tailgate and it makes you wonder what people are thinking.
Some of things I keep doing to keep from going bonkers while going thru this time of waiting is working Photoshop, which I am wanting to know more about. In order to use it with Bryce, Vue, Blender and other 3d programs which I am working on. Although I am still in the beginning. I sometimes want to short cut the immense bulk of information on how tos, but am finding that this maybe the best way since I do want to produce quality listings here and on other blogs I am using.
The Blogger sites are more prolific than ever, but that is good and hopefully as I progress I too will get more people to my site. Now just read the book on how to.
So while reading more about the blogging life, I am now trying Technorati, that I may learn even more about blogs and postings. Here is a link to Technorati under the links list.

Saturday

Still feeling the effects of what's going on in my neck but not to the extent it was about 2 weeks ago. Either or the combination of both using meds and stimulation seems to be working. I think the medications are the big part. This coming week I will push for an exam, either cat scan or mri. I wonder what they the doctors are charging the insurance company for the 15 minuets of treatment?

here's another

alpha omega

This is one part of a scene I am attempting -

doctor

I awoke after a little nap and saw that I was late for the appointment, kinda like the Beatles' song "woke up,noticed I was late. Dragged the comb across my head - made the bus in seconds flat". Although I was late 30 minutes I still received my treatment of muscle stimulation. It did feel good and one of the nurses Mary Ann, a sweet Mexican girl married showed me a picture of her daughter. Whose name is Ilene, and about 1yr.old. Also about her husbands' truck which was broken into while he was at work as a cook - bummer.
I did ask and found out they want to continue the treatments for about 3 weeks and then go for a cat scan or mri. I wonder if they really think the insurance won't provide for it or that they want the money. That's up to them though. I still am taking meds and a new drug called Lyrica. Confuses the nerves, but it is primarly used for pyschcotic issues, I don't see any simtumes at this time. We will see.
While all this is going on I'm still waiting to see if the FMLA will be accepted or denied. If denied I will face possible termination or go back to work and further hinder the healing. If that comes about the I will have to get a lawyer. We will see.

Long time coming

Wow I had been posting in my yahoo 360 for some time till I saw this link. Just to update. In October 07 I experienced a pain in my left elbow and numbness in my thumb and two fingers in my hand. After changing chairs I experience excruciating pain in my neck, shoulder causeing me to have to leave work.
The last two weeks I have tried to see doctors - which when told about the injury and where don't do workman's comp, they denied the claim - I believe from lack of information. I did see a chiropractor for about 4 days, which didn't help. I finally got to see a doctor whom I'm to see again on 11/28/07. She put me on pain, muscle relaxors and ibuprofin and blood pressure medicine. None of these have had any effect. Hopefully I can get a catscan or mri to see what's going on in my neck.
I have been trying some bryce and will try posting in here.
