17 paintings and 32 ceramic tiles later... I've come out of the bush, shaved my legs, brushed my hair (attractive!) and am facing this ...
Friggin Computer! (Note to self: its really really bad to pick up and shake your computer. It no likey) I think there's mold growing on the insides of this old tin can I call a puter, from the recent deluge of sky juice that has been appearting almost every day since the beginning of June.
You know, a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing.
When I came back to the Caye, the computer wouldn't work AT ALL, then I found the phillips head screwdriver. The gold plated one that Bigness keeps hidden in his secret man spot, so I won't use it as a hammer. I decided... how hard can this be? After all, its not rocket science, or, its not rocket science anymore. I thought, I'll just get the alcohol out and clean all this dust and crap and rust off, and maybe I can kick start this tin can I call a puter.
I learned some things.
1.) Its very important to unplug the black cord from the power supply before sticking your hand into any electric device
2.) You must put the parts back in EXACTLY like they came out
3.) 3 beeps means the ram is in backwards
4.) If you shake it, you WILL break it
5.) Puters don't like it when you bleed on them, they act like it is water and in puter land, water is the same as swimming in a HELL FIRE LAKE
6.) It doesn't matter how many times you call your computer a stupid mutherfoker, it doesn't listen
I am using Windows XP, I have no reason why, the last time it went in for service, that's what it came back with.
YO HOLLA BACK AT ME...
If anyone can tell me why my mouse will not drag and drop... please please please
If anyone can tell me what a checksum error is... please please please
If anyone can tell me why I can't do anything like I did before, please please please
If anyone can tell me why my printer is not printing, although it shows up in the que, says it is ready, but the files never find their way to the print monitor... please please please
If anyone can tell me why when I click on links, they do not appear... please please please
If anyone can tell my why my Windows print wizard isnt working... please please please
If anyone can tell me how to get a FREE Windows Registry software that actually works after the "Free Scan" which is just a trick to get you to buy the product.
If anyone can tell me why when I click on the "add image" button in blogger, it jus ignores me and acts like a snob and won't do what I want it to do.
Bigness: you haven't fixed that thing yet?
Me: I'm not a rocket scientist
Bigness: is that smoke I smell?
Me: are you burning the breadfruit again?
Bigness: oh fok (runs out of the room to put out the flames of passion burning up the stove)
United Nations Baby: Grandma... Grandpa is smoking the house again.
Me: one of these days... this house...
Bigness: (wiping sweat) Gial, Momma's coming and I got a nice baracuda head.
Me: Cho!
Bigness: Tru!
Me: you are going to make my mom suck fish brains and eyeballs? Ugh!
Bigness: no, just the head meat, I save the brains and eyeballs for me.
So I go into the kitchen and turn the fan on to clear the smoke and see the biggest (and ugliest) baracuda head sitting on the kitchen table. I want to get the measuring tape out, this thing has to be at least 18 inches.
Me: what are you going to do with this thing, she's not going to be here for 3 weeks?
Bigness: oh
Me: freezer?
Bigness: Fish Head Stew
BIGNESS'S FISH HEAD STEW
Ingredients, in no special order:
8 cups Chicken bullion or chicken stock, we use Maggi mix here, its an extremely salty instant powder chicken noddle soup that comes in a package 2 fa dollah
4 cups of potatoes chopped into big chunks
2 cups of carrots in big chunks
1 big onion chopped
a couple peices of garlic chopped
large green sweet pepper chopped into big chunks
a handful of fresh cilantro chopped
2 habanero peppers, do not peirce or poke den tings
some black pepper
some season salt, but not too much or it will get too salty
Any other vegetables: coco, chocho, young punkin, yellow squash, butternut squash, all chopped into big chunks
One big ole fish head, fish tail, any other spare fish parts like the spine and bones.
Put everything in a big pot and bile an bile an bile and bile until it looks finished, and then when its done you let it cool a little bit. Break the head apart into chunks, bones and all and ladel soup into bowls. Don't be afraid of serving the bones. Picking them out of the bowl is half the fun. Important: do not let the habanero pepper burst, if you do, its fire in the hole time. Remove the pepper before serving, when its real soft, but not burst. NOH BUST DE PEPPA! You hear me? NOOOOOOOHHHH BUUUUSSSSSS DE PEPPA!
This spicy thick fish stew is best served with cold orange koolaide.

Yeah, I love my Dad's fish stew, we also call it fish tea. as a matter of fact, I love all the food he cooks, he's good at it. But yes, just rememba, "no buss dih peppa".
I was thinking on another note, Raul can probably take a look at the computer for you when we go to CC. He fixed one of Tina's old computers and got it operable even after it got wet after Hurricane Mitch. He is still holding on to his computer repair kit.
He can cook! That's why I'll never be able to go on a diet. Fish Tea, I love the sound of that. I have one called Fish Stew, and I tried to upload it but my computer is too messed up.
good recipe, easy to follow - yumm!
Yum yum yum. now where did I put that baracuda head?
I can tell you why all those tings happen wi your puter.....Windows XP is de debil! I haven't figured out how to fix them though.
After what I been through with my pooter, I do not want anyone to suffer so I hope you can sort it out soon. I know NADA, zero, zilch about computer so I took it to the expert.
Fish head stew! As a friend said, "you know it ain't fish head if you can't see the eyes watching you."
They say the fish eyes are the best part, I just can't bring myself to taste them. Not even one sniff. I know you're all looking forward to stories of Bigness torturing my white momma.
i heard mallorys pregent again lol anyways this is halima big sis i love ur blog but i hate fish!!!!!!!ewww and fish anyways email me ethiogurl4sure2007@yahpp.com take pics of mall gesile halima and jess cay take careee byezzz le i miss haliam lots tell her amirra she she miss u or smothin like that lol
With that many problems and errors my suggestion would be: backup all your important files, format the damned hard drive, check it for errors and if needed replace the hard drive, re-install the whole system. This is assuming there are no hardware problems in your pooter.
But it is nearly impossible to help you without actually getting my hands on that machine.
got it! no peirceing or pokeing den tings!! that's very important everyone says...
i'd suggest to restart restart that computer everytime.... but sounds like dcver has a better plan for you
Sounds really good your stew...
But God help you, Lee if the chili bursts open!
We do something similar in the Med...
dcver, you confirmed my dilema, yes, I think I'm going to have to do that.
No worries about ciguatera poisoning?
