Found a great app for texting on all platforms using your regular cell phone number. The app is called Mysms and it works well. I currently use it to replace my standard android texting app on my phone and synchronize text messages with my chromebook/tablets. It has a very small yearly fee but it is well worth it to me because I use my tablets and chromebooks a lot.

I added my ebook Glenn’s Crohn’s Disease Survival Guide to Kindle Unlimited so you can read it for free if you subscribe to this Amazon service. Please leave a review on Amazon if you like the book because this will bump the book up to higher visibility in the Amazon search engine. Thank you.

Sparse blogging by Glenn.
Haven’t been doing much blogging lately. My wife is recovering from hip surgery and I have been taking care of her. The results of the hip surgery have been very good. She may not be dancing the jitterbug but she can at least walk with the aid of a walker again and the hip joint has not popped out. I’ll take that as a win. Thanks for everyone’s prayers.
Cat ate our over the air TV antennae so we bought a better compact one from Home Depot that allows the coax to be separately disconnected and is designed to be mounted in the attic. It looks like a small white UFO and is called the UFO by the manufacturer. Strangely enough Judy objected to my drilling holes in the walls to run the coax from downstairs up to the attic. A divorce lawyer was mentioned. Go figure women. Instead I had to settle for mounting the UFO in the bedroom closet but it still works much better than the flat little antennae we had before so Judy was happy. I only watch live TV for the daily local news and for Packers football games anyways. Judy is addicted to GRIT TV from Milwaukee and she religiously watches Laramie and Walker Texas Ranger which unfortunately are starting to make me mildly ill after watching all the episodes at least three times.
I am not a big fan of cable TV so we don’t purchase it. It’s just not worth the money. We do have free internet TV options via Roku and Amazon TV sets so I don’t know if we fully fit the definition of “cord cutters” but maybe we are close enough.

A DSL Hell
A CPU devil dwells
on an evil desktop throne
in a DSL hell.
All hope of sleep and real world freedom gone,
a hacker demon sits here, its keystroke unlocking a cyber abyss,
on an evil desktop throne.
The incessant, infernal loading time persists
as the computer eats a paperback’s soul.
A hacker demon sits here, it’s keystrokes unlocking a cyber abyss.
The endless clicking and typing is taking it’s toll
on a damned former novelist staring, tormented,
as the computer eats a paperback’s soul.
The imps dance on the shores of the digital stygian water
surrounded by megabyte flames
as the damned former novelist stares, tormented.
Playing pernicious, diabolic software games
a CPU devil dwells
surrounded by megabyte flames
in a DSL Hell.
