I contacted my bank about an alert posted on their www homepage. It read: "Important Information Reguarding the Windows 10 Release". I got a response from them. "Thank you for pointing out the error on our website; it has been corrected." Once again, you're welcome :)
That is...unless you don't bank with Wood & Huston...and in that case, YOU'RE GONNA BURN IN HELL!!! No, seriously, I don't mean that! I was only kidding.......

To dream impossible dreams...
This strikes me as sad...
By Viola Yee @ Quora:
"In 2008, Polaroid ceased producing their signature instant film. There was enough stock to last somewhere into 2009. When it was gone, it was gone. The company folded and all the trade secrets were lost with it.
No one knows how to duplicate Polaroid instant colour photos. The original technology was lost ... that itself seems impossible but it happened less than 10 years ago.
The old cameras are easy to come by. Every thrift store has one.
But the film has been re-invented (from scratch) by The Impossible Project. They've done their best ... but it's not the same. And not as good as the original technology that Mr. Land invented and perfected."
You can read it direct from the horse's mouth if you insist, via the link I posted right under here (or you can hunt for it on the internet if that's how you play...). I don't think I'm technically allowed to have pasted the answer here...(sigh)...:

Gasp! No, really, I can't breath...
(update: SSI was mis-typed SSDI, just now noticed & has been corrected) (6:45 PM 7/25/15)
GASSP! POISON! POISONOUS AIR! GASPP!
Unless congress can come to some kind of mostly logical agreement to fix the situation, SSI, often referred to as welfare or disability, will be no longer sometime in 2016. If that happens, my lack of appearance at blogger will be much more frequent.
Other than that, I have not much to say....I managed to get a ride from my CPRC+(*f1) worker from my home to the gym thrice this week. Usually it's twice if that. so my muscles should be in good shape...provided I didn't tear anything, which I may have...they're pretty worn feeling, kinda sore...
I need to get the courage to ask my sis to cancel the pre-order of CHVRCHES upcoming album EVERY OPEN EYE (Sept 25). I don't need her wasting money on my behalf. She's bought me a computer, and numerous other gifts over the course of time (most of them nowhere near as extravagant as a computer), and I therefore don't find fault with sending her $.
Not sure if it makes any difference though. The antichrist is hypothesized to get rid of paper money and use a barcode that he will implant in people, which is possibly what The Bible refers to when mentioning "The number of the beast". Once that happens, it won't be long before I am literally a solder of Christ and money will hopefully not be a concern weighing on my head so heavily. Ah....such a relaxing thought, despite the blood and gore that will cover the Earth during the course of the Final Battle.
So...I guess maybe I don't need courage...I just need...to quit being so damn lazy and apathetic....eek!

PAUL
I started watching PAUL, with Seth Rogen and a couple British dudes I'm not familiar with. I turned it off about 40 minutes in because I got sick of it. I wouldn't dare state any "facts" about what transpires beyond the point at which I turned it off, it is a remote possibility that the film may have proven to have merit, but the fact that Kirsten Wiig's character is the only one in the film that comes across as a cardboard stereotype made it fairly easy to predict where the film was going. Basically, Kristen Wiig is depicted as being stupid and childish because she believes in Christ Jesus and everyone else in the film is doing their part to steer her from ignorance etc.
I can't believe anyone would be inspired by this film. As far as I am aware, PAUL is not based on a true story. Secondly, even if it were, just because an alien from outer space doesn't believe in God doesn't mean a damn thing. People on this Earth that God created don't believe in God. Does THAT prove anything? Some people seem to think it does because it's easier to believe that the universe is a big meaningless pile of gunk than to ***READ*** and ***THINK***. Thinking is fairly easy. Listening to and/or reading someone else's thoughts and pondering them is much harder, which probably explains why fiction sells better than non-fiction, be it movies, books or stage plays...even movies and books that are "based on a true story" are often substantially truncated or fictionalized/romanticized to make the biopic at hand easier to relate to.
THIRDLY, The Bible does not mention aliens or weather they exist or not. The opinions on aliens' existence held by Christians does not prove or disprove any passages in The Bible. There are church groups that believe the events that took place on the day of Pentacost (often referred to as "speaking in tongues") cannot and will not ever happen again. The Bible doesn't back this up nor does it refute it. That is merely an OPINION held by some churches.
I read this Gallup Poll data that says just about everybody in this nation, Christian and otherwise, would not vote for an Evangelical Christian. Since The Bible defines a Christian and an Evangelist as basically the same thing, I looked up the phrase "Evangelical Christian" online and was just as confused as I was to start with. So I posted a question on Yahoo! Answers and nobody seemed to have an answer. One guy said something about voting for someone who respects all people and all religions and some other guy posted this big hateful tirade about all the things wrong with Evangelical Christians. Nothing anybody said answered my question. The question, re-phrased so as to not intrude on Yahoo!'s intellectual copyrights, was "What sects of Christianity are against Evangelism?" And then I referenced the information from Gallup's website. It's really freakin' annoying how little you can learn from the internet. There's maybe 1% of content on the internet that is genuine and noteworthy. Everything else is lies, half-written truths and redundancy.
