Trying PhotoScape

This is a "free" photo editing program but as usual some of the features are not free. Hopefully I'll only need the free ones. Sorry I haven't been posting recently. I'm just too tired. I'm seeing my family doctor on Wednesday. Blood work should help determine the cause. Looks too good to be true doesn't it? Hopefully any advertisements should cover it. Ill be surprised if most of theses features don't cost something. Nothing is truly free. Everyone needs income. 

Hobo Symbols and Life

Last week I posted about the symbols used for washing clothes, Laundry Symbols".  Now I found some symbols used by hobos. For me these symbols are difficult to understand but the descriptions are great.  Their lifestyle is so interesting. Try a full screen and louder. I had to put it on maximum sound level. You can turn down the sound level for this one!

Laundry Symbols

These symbols are not clear to me.  I can guess at some but I'm not certain.  How about you? Here is a sort of "test" I set up: It's not finished! For me the written explanations are useful.  I can do without any symbols.  There is no way most of them can be interpreted, so why bother to print them?  (Sorry the chart would not fit without being too difficult to see.) I just realized the use for the symbols.  They are to save space on the clothing label.   I usually just throw the clothes in and turn on the switch so that's why I never thought of it. But then you'd still need a chart to interpret the symbols. Print a copy for yourself if you think it might help.

QWERTY vs DVORAK Keyboard

I never knew there was a different type of keyboard like DVORAK instead of QWERTY (named after the first six letters on the left of the first row) , at least not in English or similar languages. Chinese has a modified QWERTY keyboard something like: Or maybe this keyboard below is purely Chinese: Back to English:  The video below explains why the QWERTY keyboard is used almost 100% today and some future possibilities.  Not changing my keyboard, it's not worth the effort for me .

Weekly Routine

Yesterday I did what I do each Wednesday. I injected three vials of immune globulin subcutaneously to control my n euromuscular  chronic inflammatory  demyelinating   p olyneuropathy (CIDP) . It's related to MS but not as bad. My CIDP is not as bad as many other diseases so I'm usually not in a bad mood about it.  The injections seem to help but I still have some trouble with balance and I need my ankle brace to walk with a walker.  I moved up from a wheel chair to a walker and now I might go to a cane, maybe just a cane at home and a walker when I go out. Anyway the immune globulin injection takes all afternoon, about three hours but it feels like all day.  I try to not make any plans and just take it easy. Here's my equipment and three vials of immune globulin.  I used to get an IV dose at the hospital every six weeks but the doctor thinks this weekly dose at home will keep the blood levels more even and so work better. This way I can be free to move abo
