My Customer Service Complaint E-Mail to Canon (send today):

Please forward to the correct Department.
Customer complaint.
I purchased about 2 months ago the following printer MG3122

This printer has been the most terrible printer I have ever purchased! It does not feed paper, has connection problems (via USB Cable), and has to be the most frustrating Computer item I have ever owned. To ensure what this means: I started using the Computer at the age of 9, because I won and OSBORNE 1 (this was the first Laptop ever in 1981!) including Computer classes. Yes, I started young, and right now, I'd prefer actually an ancient Computer, than your Product.
I thought uh, a Canon, that stands for Quality. I could have not been further away from the truth.
Shame on Canon for producing such crappy product & marketing it to the masses!
If I'd still have the box, I'd send it right to your desk, and ask you to try and use it.
I can guarantee you, you'd be throwing it out off your office window. Which makes me wonder, WHO's printer & products you are using, seeing that your own do not work.
I would have left as nice of a review as this letter is, however your Company lucked out, that particular part (to post reviews) was supposedly undergoing maintenance. Ha, as if, you just don't want other people to leave more negative feedback!
Why am I raving like this? Because, I actually really needed to print something, and your "fine" product failed me for over 3 hours in a row. I guess I will be dusting off my 15 year old laser printer & see if that still has a mile left on it. If it has it will beat your product by miles.
Sad to say.
I hope you will find yourself in a similar situation one day, with this product; trust me you will remember me when it happens. (Not even a question of IF, only a question of when). In the 1.5 months I have owned this printer, it worked exactly for 2 days. Unbelievable.
Have a great day!
Best regards,

Trixie
P.S: Now where did I put that baseball bat... it seems just the right tool for this printer!

Shit I get to see: BLOG IS NOW UP

So every day I take a walk, some days its longer others its shorter.
(A mile to 4 miles depending upon myself)
I decided to walk this time at night,
Since I wanted to take some pics of the signs in my neighborhood
(they are classic), as seen through the eyes of a German girl living in the USA
In a VERY DIVERSE neighborhood!
Something our "Dear Brewer seems to have forgotten"
Its good, that none of us have:
Without ANY of your aunt-sisters moving here,
the USA would NOT be what it is TODAY!
(BTW I am proud to be living here: I moved here for a LOT of reasons, which with
time will be revealed slowly,within the actions I am taking regarding my future)
& yes of course I will share those with everyone who CHOOSES to read me here!
I am fairly certain that I will disable comments from here on out. Friends of course
can leave a word or "LIKE" on my FB Link, private message me here, there OR
any where - those of you who KNOW me, always knows HOW to get in touch with me ;) no matter
what!
At the end of course I will share a few of my other favorite pics, signs etc seen
other places I have been at or I saw while cruising around the net:
ENOUGH BLAH BLAH BLAH's:
Dun Dun Dun
Lets start!
Okay so I took this one, while driving by it during the day. I went WAIT WHAT?
I think this one say's it all, no?


(Picture hearing LOUD CLASSIC umpa pa Ranchero Hispanic music playing as I am nearing this place)
Thinking ah this must be a Hispanic Bar I am coming up on
Ha, I thought the previous pic was fantastic, until I took my walk and saw this:



A bit confused I kept walking, and just as I started to scratch my head I walked pass the side of this building,
EXPLAINING EVERYTHING... (or NOT?):


Interested I ventured on...:
OH LOOK A:

BAR...
I am glad I found my new after hours hang out place! Nice Advertisement, pulls me right in ;)

So this is interesting, between the DON JOSE & A PRINCESS is:

WAIT WHAT???
yah that's what I said!

Okay - if this German Girl ever needs an AA meeting place close to her home,
she has to learn Spanish FIRST!
Rosetta Stone here I come!



So now we move on to other things I have seen while out and about:
Speaking of AA... here is a GREAT number to remember at New Years!
The tipsy line by AAA?


I will NOT mention the name, however one of my new favorite stores, as this sections hold memories of my youth:


Uh uh may I have some yellow boobs please?
They will cost yah!


How bout some other color?
Sure they got 'em all:

yes dork I am...


Could have NOT said it better!:


Seen near Pinetop-Lakeside:


Whats THIS?
Some Boobs/Fins/Bombs?


PLEASE DO REMIND ME IN THE FUTURE TO JUST SELL MY TRASH!
You've gotta be freakin' kidding me!


This one is for ME-ME - If you know who wants to know where I saw this... let me know ;)


okay so the T-Birds have gone hound?


We have now reached my home... this is the lil' one who as of right NOW is still up for grabs. There is NOTHING wrong with her, quite the opposite. She is amazeballs. I am keeping her until she is 4 months old so I can get her fixed & shots finished. At which point she will also be housebroken. She loves to cuddle up to you when you sleep & her best friend is "Beefcake" my daughters cat ;)
After she is all healed up & IF I haven't gotten TOO attached (no worries), she can find her new permanent home!
Please contact me if you are interested!
She is a Cocker Spaniel / Beagle / Mix & supposed to have a lil bit of Chihuahua in her!

She is looking at traffic right now - however that's also where she sits & waits for me to get home ;)

Speaking of Cats & Dogs. Within minutes of me getting up from my chair, they are doing this
So much for Cats & Dogs NOT getting along ;)


Here is Mom & Dad doing their Job, at making a lil' Spot Sandwich:


And here is our dear 14 year old Super Bitch Grey. We all love her, and she has been with us since she was 4 weeks old. She hates every other animal. So look what REALLY happens, when I go to check on everyone!
She went and laid down with ALL OF THEM!

I guess this shows how she REALLY feels ;)


On a serious note. I stayed in a hotel - with all of the animals for a lil bit. One evening I hear someone yelling
GET OUT THERE IS A FIRE!
here I was just out off the shower, naked...
This is exactly what I saw once I had all but 1 of the animals loaded up, dressed & headed out the door, I turned around, wanting to go back for the 1 I had to leave behind.
I missed the fire department arrival! HOLY SHIT!

I would have never left 1 behind, however, Nick (cat) ran under the bed frame. The smoke was so thick I had opened the door. I was afraid that the puppies would not survive & decided I move everyone out & go back in.
(The firefighters stopped me from re-entering, and said say a prayer for her, and with a bit of luck she survives!)
I did...:
She survived!
Unbelievable!

& yes we are all doing well, a blog about that & my other adventures will soon follow!

Not wanting to end this blog so freaking serious...
this one is for all those Peep Show Fans out there!



Hope everyone is great!
Love, Light & Sunshine to everyone!
Take care & be good
Your lil Trixie

Trials and Errors

Well, I have some time on a Computer and figure I post a blog. Still do not have Internet at my house, and can't say I miss it too much. Sure there are those days when you really miss it, the more time passes, the fewer those get.
Will I be back regularly once more? Yeah, of course, but my own promise that I will first buy a different Computer (and eliminate at least 2 from the 5 I have, and yes I still want a new one, even with 5 Comps at the house, if you do not understand this, just ask a local geek, he'll explain this fully and probably better then I ever could.)
What will happen to the other 3 systems? One is for Linux ("me" want to learn this for over 10 years now), another one will be my main one, that holds all information, but wont ever go out on the net; one is for the kids, and well one for me, so I can sit down, and write to you guys, and build that Website I've been talking about.

How are things in the life of Trix (today's blog will be all but an update, sorry - if you were waiting for a deep insight blog to make you think).
Good question.
I finally can talk about some of it. And I truly mean SOME of it.
First I am happy to announce that after 5 (yes I wrote 5 and it isn't a typo) years of fighting our dear ol' Government, I went before a Judge a couple months back, and he right then and there agreed fully favorable, that I am indeed disabled. (I guess this is unusual as he likes to look at the cases after-wards, and rarely does a Judge render a fully favorable right then and there.).
A sweet smell of Justice and vindication was in the air that day. Nope I didn't throw a party, didn't even have a beer, I'll do that, soon. It takes a moment to hit you, if you have been through what I have.

Mind you I will still have to await more time in order to find out whats what, nothing I want to get into in detail, I will bring them once they are over.

But in the End, Justice and vindication will show in form of a bike that will be build by and with Hellcat Customs. Actually I think the name of my bike will be on of those 2 names, pending upon how it turn out, the name will come along as the build does ...  (it will be a male: yes).
But all that will I am certain be posted when time comes (soon... soon). I am thinking that I (!!) will be ready in Spring of next year for my cross country ride (which will include Canada as my sis oldest child is there). I have & my body has to get ready, not just getting that low back surgery out off the way, but actually getting my body (muscles etc) ready for this. I might be stupid, but irresponsible when it comes to my body I am not. This I learned the hard way.
Plus I have some other things going on in regards to my health (remember, that cervical spine fusion of mine??? ... yeah some stuff is going to go on with that too, actually its in the works right now, but not fully ready to be disclosed.)
Anyhow, the route, who I am visiting, I will probably post when its mid winter in most of the USA and the rest of the world; when the bike is ready.
I have been long debating with myself, what I should do first, the surgery or the build, and have come to figure out this is sorta a (what came first the) chicken or egg question.
There isn't a good answer to that, no matter which way I am looking at it. (And trust me I have). I have also found, that no matter what, its my decision and no one else.
And yes, I know what the Doctors have been telling me for 3 years, and I also know the MRI results and what can happen if...
But I do not live in the "IF"
I am way too rational and practical to do so.
So, its the build that comes first.

How does one spent all day, if one has the time, but isn't on the net? I guess it can be summed up in one word:
Wii
Kidding.
Although my Wii has seen more action then I have -  and due to a recent game release certainly even more so; I haven't changed much from what I've been doing before.
Still read welding books (although I'd love to go back to school in Spring, I am nearly positive I will be doing my ride first, and delaying my schooling until Fall of next year).
Still read as said, a lot - and suck up information like a sponge.
Currently, I am actually also partially in the world of Tarot, I have 2 completely different decks, its my 2nd one that has me fascinated, as I am learning the cards, the book that came with the deck, has me learning a ton more about Greek mythology. I thought I knew a lot.... until I opened that book.
My dreams to say the least have been beyond interesting, I am certain in part due to my studies.

I have some of my Computer books out -- a neighbor has been recommending some awesome ones; we are talking old old old school ones, that he has; trust me I will have to get them. They are amase-balls. Said neighbor is one of the few original team members who is responsible for writing what we all get to enjoy now as the Internet. Nope again, not kidding.

My neighbors I will start posting about as well (actually I am saving those stories for my Website). Lets just say that:

Everyone knows - no matter where I move too, I always end up with some fascinating neighbors. No different here. One of them actually has become my room mate (and by this I emphasize room more then mate). He well he uhm got paid to blow things up at some point -- in other Countries. No need to mention how well him and my own little one get along, no? My own Mr. son who says: Mom lets find some stuff we can mix and set on fire/blow up...
That the ATF has never been called still surprises me.
Speaking of which, its Fall break for both of my kids, my son woke up a bit ago, as the kids will hit the library this AM, to get all the info together, for his monthly project.
He got up walked into the living room, complained how cold it was (one does sleep better when its cold at nite and I guess 60 F is cold for him), snuggled under a blanket in the living room next to me, placed my hand on his head, moving it to show me that he would like me to scratch his head, and promptly fell back asleep. Totally completely knocked out we are talking all 4 spread from him. So very tender and cute.
Tonite is a sleepover hosted by my daughter, who is taken advantage of a sleeping brother by running to the store (Safeway is literally 2 minutes away) to get stuff for all the kids. How many will there be here? I don't know as it seemed to have gone up and down in numbers and I sorta lost count, but from what I remember it'll be like 9 of them (including for a change my own). So its not that bad.

Speaking of my daughter. She is enjoying HS very much; she is still planning on moving to Berlin in a couple of years from now to go to & finish HS at the JFK over there (for those that don't know its the same school my bro and I went too). Its a German American Friendship School.
She's been talking about it for several years now, and does want to end up in the FBI later in life (!!!Emphasizing later!!!) - which means she already has several Universities picked out, that they tend to recruit from. (I am actually quite amazed to be honest by how much research she has done to date about all of this). She is an A student, and has taken on Psychology, as the only Freshman to have ever done so at her school. (Her High School has a total of 120 students, no not Graduating Class, total amount of Students).
She knows what she wants (even knows where she wants to end up at - at the FBI, and their age requirements to get into the Departments), and knows that prior of going and having a serious career (her words not mine), she'd like to do other stuff, as she realizes already now, she has way too many talents not to try at least half of them out. (She currently makes/sews a lot of her own clothes - who many people ask where she bought the at). Anyhow point in case is, that she will be doing things a bit backwards - first the fun then the career, and I am certain some of her extra classes at the University (currently everything from Columbia, Yale, to Harvard (although that one not as much as other IVY Universities) will reflect this.
She probably is going to be the first one who will finish with 2 Degrees that are complete opposite, yet strangely enough do fit well, I am certain it'll be something like the following: Fashion Design & Psychology - or Wildlife Vet and Psychology or something similar.

Ahhh kids; I explained to them, that we have been for the past 5 years lacking on Culture. So this year we will be going to the Nutcracker (that is if I still can get some tickets); and events of this sort. I am also re-reading currently the "Knigge", a book that was first written in the late 1700 (that is indeed in the seventeenhundreds yes). I believe if I remember correctly 1780.
What is the "Knigge", you wonder?
Its short for an etiquette book, how to deal with any type of social situation, in any type of social standard.
The language is certainly old old school German, so its not an easy read just from that perspective alone, and if you will one can say that books of the likes from D. Carnegie are based upon this first original book from Freiherr von Knigge http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolph_Freiherr_Knigge (written in English all about him)
Its very fascinating. And yes oh boy here I come again with the Freemasons.
I just realized, having Lize read (Dale) Carnegie at the age of 12 might have something to do with her fascination for people and psychology.... hmmm didn't think of that until just now.
So anyhow bringing more Culture into the kids life, will of course include a course in table manners, (given by me yours truly), learning to eat in a way that most but those who are either older or seem to have a title in their names have all - but forgotten.
As my Mom put it so very eloquently:
"You never know where life will take you, or whom you one day will sit down to dinner with"
It holds more true then most every realize.
Sad enough I have sat down with some of the "best of them" and my table manners been most certainly better then theirs. Why is this such a forgotten Art?
Why is Culture, Manners, and common courtesy no longer being taught by parents?
Is it that they were not taught either, and where and at what point in time has it become acceptable not to know even the simplest of rules, when dealing with yourself but most of all others?!
Where are they to learn, if not by the parents?
Seriously how many people go to Military Officer school, and learn this type of stuff? Very few that will ever get there, but wouldn't more, if they'd be taught at home the differences, of what it takes to archive?
There isn't an excuse in the world that could make up for what is lost in teaching ones kids.
I am a single parent household, so why is it that I hear: - well you do things very different then most parents do, constantly?
And why is it, that when I stand in a long long line (by myself) - anywhere, and there are other peoples kids around- I wish (actually long) for my kids to be there, so that they may show and lead by example the other peoples kids, as they generally do, in those situations when they are with me?

Okay so I guess I lied, this did turn out to be one of mine: making you think at least for a moment, at then End of my a bit.

WHAT?
This is the end of my blog?
Nah, not yet, soon but not yet.
There is so much more I'd like to share and write about; so much that I can not - or not yet, and yet again there are simple things I totally forgotten to mention:  For example, my eyes just fell upon our other cat. Did I mention we have a 2nd one again?
After the sudden death of Seinfeld - which saddened us to no end, we've been wanting another couple of cats.
We went one day walking to a store just up the streets and as we were leaving our Community, we saw a cat in a Cat carrier, no food, no water just sitting there, crying loudly at 110 F out.
Sometimes people do make me wonder. I mean this cat would have been dead by the end of day. How in the world can you de-claw your kitten, and then just leave 'em out there, hoping that some sucker like I, in a bad economy will pick em up and take him in???!!!
HOW, can any one person do this? I will never have nor do I want the understanding of people who can do such thing.
He is an all black long-haired cat, with a couple (and I mean no more then 10), of white hairs on his chest, that has grown quite in size these past few months.
Grey the 11 year old resident house cat, is, as she always shows her love to her fellow animals, by hissing at them. But of course if she doesn't see him, she runs frantically around the house, looking for him.
Typical bitch.

Forward a few hours.
House: Full of kids/Teenagers/ Girls
Haven't counted actually lost count to be honest, but they are funny as mad hell. So far we have had anything from them chasing each other around with one of my Cat-tails (8) and BB Gun wars. Later of course remaining outside the house.

Is one doing things right or wrong, if your neighbor are scratching their heads???
Then again they always scratch their heads when they look in my direction ....

The kids are currently playing N64, and I am sharing my treasured couch with them, I learned some new saying's tonight ...
My favorites so far are the following... (this might change as the night progresses):

"This sucks more then a hooker with a vacuum hose"

"My Mom can tie a knot in a cherry stem with her tongue, not everyone can do this"

"You can't use u'r cream soda as an excuse to touch me"

"My penis is awesome" (this is an all girl sleep over except for my son, and it wasn't my son saying this...)

"What is if I told you that I use my phone for masturbation... would you still want to use it???"

"Thanks for having us over, my Mom could not handle a sleepover like this, she would have start pulling her hair out by 7 PM" (most arrived an hour earlier)

TOP FREAKIN QUOTES.... Haven't laughed this hard in a long time...

Just as I settled into my Lazy Boy, they stopped playing NIN 64, and have now settled down to play "True Colors" (11:45 PM)
Insert here: This will be a long long long night...
And "Truth or Dare" (1:20 AM)

On the upside of this:
This night will give me a chance to unlock all of my blogs, that I just figured out are locked for what-ever reason & catch up on the maintenance on all the major sites I am on. I might even check into my Twitter account and update it.
Tomorrow in the AM I will run down to the German Store and get some yummies, so we can all enjoy a German Breakfast together.
I said it before and I say it again: The guy I choose to be with will have to put up with quite some... I mean not just with me, but all of my (according to them) (newly) additional adopted daughters.

I am also realizing that the Pest Control Dude did NOT spray the outside of our door frame today. I like to get that done every week not just for wandering roaches that do not have a current home, but also for those little scorpions that stung Grey not too long ago on her paw. Roaches don't like my house very much. Everything is kept in Containers, and with Bag clips so there isn't anything they ever find to munch on. Not to mention the 2 cats who like little live snacks.

Speaking of cats, the new Cats name seems to be "Ninja" - although my Dad suggested "Diablo" (I like that one, right now he isn't and still hasn't taken to any one name. Most likely due to the fact that when ever we call him, Grey responds as if its her name. Did I mention: "what a bitch"???)
She has extended however her sweetness towards the new cat; how much I didn't realize until a new cat showed up on the outside of our metal screen door. Ninja remained completely relaxed, as most boy's are/will that are larger in size. He could have cared less or given less rats about another kitty showing up. Grey however had her ears back and started talking in her mean mean cat voice to the other cat through the door. The other kitty realizing that it will be attacked at any moment sorta just put its ears back and remained completely still, as if ... as long as he/she wont move no one else will notices him/her.
Funny how that so doesn't work, and they very much do not ever seem to be getting it.
Speaking of neighbors (weren't we just speaking of them? NO? Oh well, we are now.)
I am helping one of them out to get a job, I re-wrote his resume, showed him around how to do a few things, which made him be convinced I should be teaching this type of stuff to others. (How funny all considering one of the Websites I am working on).
Another neighbor just walked by, he came home with bruises all black and blue all over him. After inquiring if he had a good BDSM session behind him, he answered that actually he has gotten all of them at his job working at a nursery just a bit down the street. Which I replied with, that since he obviously likes it, if he ever did needed any reference material just to come knocking.

Speaking of which. What has been happening in my department of Love you are wondering???
Well to be honest not that much. Not that I haven't and didn't have any one interested. Its more that I feel, that one needs to have "their shit" together, before entering in any type of LTR or even RL. I felt this has or not had been the case with me. Its not that I haven't been 'ready' (trust me I am); it certainly has been "all me", and my "hang up" on truly feeling, that if you haven't gotten your things together, you have no business dabbling with another person.

I don't care how little for example, my daughters Dad is in her life, but not celebrating that part of her, that represents him within herself, means that I would create a fracture within her. Why would I do so, and most of all, what would my reason be, seeing how I want only the best for my child????
I can honestly say that I love both of my children Dads - not because of what they have done in the mean-time, and in the years since we created a child, but simply because that at the time of conception, I was in love with them, and us having been given such a treasure in life, of being a parent is & should be reason enough. After all, it isn't about me, its about our child; and to be honest what would it say about ME, if I wouldn't do so????
(Now if THEY could only get THAT .... the kids life would be great. And this isn't me saying so, that's my kids speaking)

(10:00 AM)
Some very tired children are walking half awake around..
needless to say, I am already hearing the word: "man-slut"
The good news is, that I THINK they were talking about our cat...

Well my kid is cooking Breakfast, things will get busy and going soon, so I will let you all go.
Much Love, Kisses & Sunshine to everyone.
Hope things are rockin'
