Why did you attack me in a game?

If you are here, then you attacked me in any one of the many games I play and I messaged you with this link.

In the comments, identify yourself, the game you hail from, and why you attacked me. If you do, I'll not be as motivated to counterattack you. Thanks.

Lean Six Sigma, Where there is No Standard There is No Kaizen

What would happen differently if all schools and colleges applied Kaizen to the way they teach their students? How would the world get better from this?

FYI: For Your Info - How to Make Friends and Keep Them - New Era Jan. 1994

FYI: For Your Info - New Era Jan. 1994

Subtitle is: How to Make Friends and Keep Them

I have to listen to this by the NaturalReader text to speech program many times in order to ensure that I absorb all that I need.

This guideline ought to be great enough for anybody. Hopefully when I heed these guidelines, I'll make far more friends than ever before!

Friday, July 01, 2011

I hope you still remember what it's like to forgive & be friends again.

I wish I could also have a blast with some cousins, but they live pretty far apart. Sorry that your plans crashed and burned.

I hope not to suffer anymore. I have had enough suffering in life so it's as good a time as any to turn that around. You still have a charitable Christian sense deep down, so I know there's some part of you who would help anyone in need, even if your carnal side caused you to despise them for reasons that wouldn't have fazed others.

Matthew 18:15:

"If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over."

Ephesians 4:29:

"Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen."

Ephesians 4:26:

"And don't sin by letting anger control you. Don't let the sun go down while you are still angry."

PS: The subject title was: "I hope you still remember what it's like to forgive & be friends again."

Sorry that I have a social disorder that I also happen to share with Katie. If you wondered why I was "weird" in whatever ways, that should explain a lot of it.

(PS: I can Never let things go that keep a void in my heart. For me to let something go, I have to get something in return that will somehow satisfyingly justify my letting it go. Sorry.)

Amazon's live-chat tech supporters are AWESOME at what they do!

ChatEnd Chat



You are now connected to Jason from Amazon.com.


Me:I'll tell you in chat.


Ok, I cannot find the text-to-speech feature in the PC Kindle.


I figured that if the original had a text-to-speech, then the PC version had better have one too.


How do I enable it?


Jason:Hello, my name is Jason. I am with Amazon Kindle Support. I'll be happy to help you!


Me:If not, is there a separate "extension" I can download for Kindle to enable text-to-speech?


I have problems reading manually, so text-to-speech functionality would be a godsend for me. Thanks.


Jason:I'm sorry text-to-speech isn't working for you.


Let me see how to get that working for you.


Me:Okay.


Jason:In order to http://www.amazon.com/kindle/accessibility


Sorry. Didn't mean to send that yet.


In order to get the screen reader, you will want to download the Accessibility plugin for your Kindle for PC.


Me::)


Jason:The link above should take you to a download for the plugin.


Me:WOW, 231 megabytes!


Larger than the K4PC itself... how come??


Jason:Yeah...it's a big plugin.


It actually has a screen reader though. So even books without text-to-speech can be read aloud.


Me:At least I'm downloading a 231 MB file in 2011, and not 2001. (We had a 56 kbps 'net connection that year. Imagine how long THAT would take!)


Jason:I remember!


It was a simpler time.


Me:LOL, in a few ways, but in others, quite more complex.


Jason:True.


Me:Even though my vision is adequate, it helps me multitask with chores and other needed things in life. I hated being forced to do nothing else when I had to read. (That's why I would forgo reading some materials entirely.)


Well, it's past 55 MB, so I'll be looking forward to its arrival.


And at least I don't have to pay for it.


Now here's a BIG question:


Jason:Is there anything else I can help you with today?


Okay.


Me:When we go through the Install Menu of our K4PC, why doesn't it, right then, give the option to download the accessibility plugin so that we wouldn't have to chat to you to find it?


Jason:That is a good question. It may have to do with the sheer size of the file. I will pass that question along to our Kindle development team to see if there is a reason for that.


I would think the option to download it would be reasonable.


Me:At least it would be given in the form of a checkbox; if we don't prefer to download, then we don't select. No one would object being offered that option, so please pass it along.


Jason:Absolutely.


Me:It is a money saver, after all, given the fact that it would free up labor costs (of chatters like you) towards helping people with bigger issues than mine. So I hope with my utmost that they will offer that option in the next update.


Okay, it's past 140 MB, so as soon as I get to install it, hope it works, and I'll be chatting with one of you again if it doesn't.


Jason:I will email that request to them. We actually are able to get things added per customer suggestion, so I really appreciate your feedback.


Definitely. If you have any trouble installing it, let us know. We'll be happy to help.


Me:Ok, sounds awesome.


Thanks a lot Jason. Hope it all goes well!


Jason:You're welcome! Thank you for shopping with Amazon.com. I hope you have a great weekend!


Me:you too.

Proverbs 22:16 He who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth and he who gives gifts to the rich--both come to poverty.

Proverbs 22:16 He who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth and he who gives gifts to the rich--both come to poverty.

"HE" is the UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT. Tax cuts to the wealthy ARE the gifts to the rich; benefits and service cuts from the impoverished ARE the oppressions to the poor.

Now I KNOW why our Lord allowed the >$14 TRILLION deficit to happen to our dear, beloved country!

Other interpretations say "...who gets ahead by oppressing the poor or by showering gifts to the rich..." Well, gaining votes and/or support to gain a political office IS that "getting ahead" and in order to get support from the rich, the politician(s) gave the wealthy tax breaks.

Dear Lord,

PLEASE DELIVER ME FROM OUR CONDEMNED COUNTRY. I need not get caught up in the economic fallout that is sure to follow. Kindly send me the resources I need to emigrate and start a new life overseas, and you will have my utmost and humble gratitude!

In Jesus' precious name,

AMEN.

Heh, golly. I guess that means I would need to post original commentary when I link anything interesting. I hope putting in my own content alongside (or in this case, below) it would keep me from being flagged as a contentfarmer.
