  • Highest Jetpack Boost Mobile Score

    20250208-1215. Hah! After trying this morning’s theme Pierian, my paid upgrade Jetpack Boost Mobile Score is now at its highest letter grade of “A” and percentage score of “97”! This is good news.

    However,  the bad news is that the booger spat out unfavorable results from its Image Size Analysis (Beta) feature: 1 issue for Homepage; 43 freaking issues for Pages; and 6 issues for Posts.

    I’m at my wit’s end to figure out WTF is going on. I’ve tried to “retain” the original uploads from over two years ago and adjusting the internal resolutions but to NO avail!

    The Image Size Analyzer is just giving me the “unhappiness factor” as I strive for the god-like perfected weblog site ever!

    Of course, realistically, this is NOT gonna happen because such endeavor of egos would offend and irk the Most High, our heavenly AllFather.

    And we do NOT wanna do that at all!

  • Trying theme Pierian

    20250208-1206. Greetings, chumps! I’m trying theme Pierian, which has the traditional 3-columns and pre-formatted text/black fonts against light/gray background.

    Yesterday and within a few minutes of each other, I already tried themes WP-DOS and LowFi: both were good but did NOT stick (again).

    With theme Pierain, the left side column is the “header”, the right sidebar column is the “footer” and the middle column is the Content!

    I like this theme because it’s simple and readable and it reminds me of the DOS throwback of fonts/texts being close together.

    I might actually keep this theme because the colors are muted and NOT blindingly bright and gray, which is in between the Masonic dark/black and light/white color schemes and NOT grey as in Alienz and UFOz.

    That’s all for now as my elderly father and I are gonna enjoy a brief shopping of restocking our HVAC filters, which he would almost get – the cheapest ones; whereas I’m all for high-technology that grabs hold of microscopic allergens and such.

  • Casting out demon and Mario gold coins

    20250208-0713. On/about 0700 PST my smartphone alarm awoke me and then I went back to sleep only to wake up again to blog about this dream.

    I was inside my garage and hanging out with people I probably know but don’t know.

    Then I remember a little dwarf girl or tiny demon or the size of the world’s smallest human female was seated at the far side of our two cars garage where the left driver door of the left car when parked would open.

    She then stood up and went towards the middle of the garage and then she started to dance a hula dance. She was mostly grayish in color and wore grayish clothes resembling hula attire but with her shoulders exposed like a tub top.

    Then my garage door opened up to reveal a white girl with slightly disheveled hair but still neat and she had wide glaring eyes.

    She said a few works which I didn’t remember and she pointed and glared at me some more as she stood in the middle of the garage but underneath where the garage door itself would open and close.

    She pointed at me with her right hand but I couldn’t see because her hand seemed to blend in with her clothes.

    I then pointed at her with my left hand and left index finger and remembered to use my right hand and index finger.

    She kept mumbling and talking nonsense while I got up and told her to stop and leave.

    She backed up towards the middle of our inclined driveway and I got up really close to her.

    It’s 0730 am and I recall at least two to three black persona inquired if there’s a party going on inside. They kept smiling as I stood up and said nothing but shook my head in the negative constantly until they left.

    They stood underneath where the garage door was still opened and inquired within of me where I was still seated inside the right side of the garage where the right car would be parked only the chair or still was lower than normal because I would be looking up at them.

    Back to the girl who is now outside past our driveway and standing outside the area where our old Montgomery Ward aluminum chain link fence once stood. I remembered vividly post which was stationed at the property line leading up to the left driveway.

    She froze in front of me as I started praying and then she got down on her knees and then spread out lying down on her stomach.

    This was when I started rebuking the demon which then melted and faded away and then her body disappeared or vanished into the air and left with a shift in the visual field where she once laid.

    I recall seeing a bunch of black children wandering about and taking notice of my activity of casting out the demon with my right hand where I saw the face turn into dust and smoke.

    I then went up the left driveway and towards the left side of the garage and toward the left path leading to the left gate leading to an alley and to our backyard beyond.

    But as soon as I pushed forward to open the left door made out of leftover woods, I saw lots of huge JFK one dollar coins in its original minted form cast into gray cold and other huge coin coins.

    I saw the coins still filling up midway upon the alley way and into our backyard. And while still seeing the coins drop from the heavens, I would hear the sound of collecting coins from a game called Mario as the coins fell from the heavens.

    I started too open the door to my right leading back inside the left side of garage when I realized that I didn’t have my cell phone with me so that I could take photos.

    I wandered back inside the houses and back out the garage looking for my missing phone. I went back outside the garage and onto the driveway and saw the stand of my phone but there was no sign of my missing phone!

    The black magnetic phone stand was located at the right side of the driveway and just before the midline but inside the perimeter of the property line and then I picked it up wondering if I had the WiFi turned on so I could track its position and turn it off remotely. But I realize that I didn’t have the Find my iPhone feature turned on!

    I went back inside the house disappointed that I couldn’t take photos of my JFK and gold coins.

    I recall a voice somewhere resonating inside my head something about: This is your payback.

    And then I was awake because my left nose was congested and moist from my CPAP.

    This ends my dream world story. My 0800 alarm went off to take my prescription diuretics.

  • Nice experience at the ER yesterday

    20250206-2355. Yesterday, we had a nice experience at our local ER. We made it in time before the waiting area was filled-up. From 15:24 to 20:00 PST, we had the opportunity to visit our local ER for the VERY first time.

    I wanted to unload my dad but we couldn’t find parking and I didn’t wanna clog the unloading passenger zone or leave my dad unattended. So we parked at a well-lighted area were two vehicles appeared to have homeless folks hanging around. I parked to the right of a vehicle which had a material covering the opened driver’s side window. But I wasn’t caring for our location as I had to walked my dad towards the front entrance, which was located off-right because the waiting room was to the left or middle of the structure.

    We came to a cozy lobby which was NOT too shabby and was greeted by a black guy who scanned us front and back with the wave of his black wand and inquired what I had in my fanny pack bag and plastic folder pouch – first me and then my dad.

    Then he kindly directed us towards the shorter blue-eyed guy behind a computer. But I saw how other visitors scanned their CDL at two high-tech scanners. The reason for the scanner wand is because the location is EAST SIDE. I do NOT know the people or area all that much but I kinda sorta know what are the gang territories, which would explain why our corner house is targeted.

    That’s why these damned Orientals thinks is Little Asia when it’s still Chicano-land. That’s all I have to say.

    Yeah, so the shorter blue-eyed guy had to let my dad sit-down hear him as I mentioned to him that this was our first time visiting our local ER. I think the system already had him on the list to visit the place despite my dad’s refusal for emergency ambulatory services.

    I heard my dad’s name being called several times. And I could see how cool, calm and collected these new batches of workers operate. I feel like the batches of me and my dad’s generation are, shall we say, “low-tech” and the new batches are faster and more “liberal”.

    So the two PA’s on-site were ready to “call-it”. But first on shorter PA tested my dad and assessed his health. He was asked normal questions of who, where, what. He replied correctly. He was slower to respond to closing his eye while touching his nose and the PA’s finger repeatedly, thought. He was instructed to show his teeth and smile.

    (Off-topic: For some reason, my telepathic interconnectedness is NOT too shabby despite NOT really hearing anything from anybody: this is my spiritual handicap. But I did sense that THEY were testing if he had stroke without stating that obviously aloud to the patient/victim and or family member/caregiver.)

    Then he got his gurney ride by a nicely-maintained salt-and-pepper beared short guy to get his EKG first and then a whole-body CT scan without contrast, which is probably the normal procedure for someone who fainted and has fallen.

    With my dad already hooked to the O2 sensor and blood pressure cuff/Telemetry, we just waited for the three bottles of blood and radiology results. Naqib couldn’t find the elbow area veins twice and had to use the smaller right forearm veins for the three blood draw. (The syringes were PLASTIC and NOT the normal/routing GLASS vials with some materials located at the bottom of these tubes!)

    (I really should have been a nurse, which was my first career choice after my mommy. But my big brain/huge head couldn’t retain data due to information overload. My discipline simply was NOT programmed. Sheesh.)

    I have to recount our experiences through this blog. Because during my high-stress and other distraction, I forgot both my dad’s dumb phone and my smartphone. (This was the second time this happened this month. The first time was dad’s dental visit with a new dentist last Friday.) Without my smartphone, I couldn’t take complimentary photos of our ER visit. And that’s okay due to privacy issues. At least we got a room; while others were still waiting when we left the building after I signed-off on/around 20:01 PST. Sheesh.

    Naqib N 0 0 n was our nurse. He was a tall dark-skinned guy. I would like more male nurses than females for some strange reason. This is good for male patients, especially when my dad had to use the plastic latrine. The male nurse was standing behind my dad while I assisted. This is due to liabilities of falling on-site.

    Juliet Y u a n was our MD. She was shorter and quick to explain. I guess THEY agreed with me when I opened big-mouth via one of those incoming spiritualized thoughts and mentioned to the emergency room triage group that this is probably due to vagus nerve. I said the same thing to the SJFD. I must be stupid enough to say things aloud for some strange reason.

    Even with my hearing aide on, I could NOT hear the taller whitish blond streak-haired female walk into dad’s room with her thick rubber shoes and to turn off the alarm to the monitor. That’s how loud the speakers were while I wearing my hearing aides.

    And so like back in October 30, 2010, the day before All Hallows Eve, my dad had the same SYNCOPE episode. I guess I projected my prayers too strongly or he was just grieving over the last of his uncles or brothers of his mother.

    Fast forward to February 5th (which was probably around the time of doing hard-core black magic witching sabbath superstitious belief practices), my dad got caught up/another dose with these powerful fainting “SPELLS”.

    It’s a good thing that AllFather got my dad’s back and mine, I guess/hope.

    After waiting to sign off 20:00 the tall dark-skinned nurse guy wheeled my dad to the the passenger loading zone. The blue wheelchair was weird because my dad didn’t know how to sit into the stick transporter chair and plopped down at the same time of trying to put his feet on these weird foot rest with were two opened rectangular bars. I was too slow to propped the foot rest upward. The room was THAT small – enough for one gurney on the left side of my dad and the pathway to the computers above his head and to his right where I sat. The opening was at his feet proper with the nurses’ stations straight ahead.

    The nurse instructed me to get the car and to take the left because I didn’t know where the emergency waiting room was located. I walked briskly into the cool night, passed underneath the brightly lit pole light, followed the inclined driveway downward along the curb and up the slightly higher than normal two slabs of concrete meant to divide the ER structure from another structure and towards the parking lot where we parked underneath a super-brightly lit area.

    I saw overhead our complimentary copter making sure we were okay. And so I powered up the MB E430, turned on my cheap mini clip-on camera facing forward only, buckled up, reversed and headed back to the front of the ER room passenger loading zone.

    So with my dad waiting at the passenger loading zone, the black folks in their black “boat” car blocked my path ahead of me at an inclined where I kept the brakes applied to my dad “CheDeng”. Three young black folks left the ER and while they left the scene my dad was still shaking and shivering from being cold due to wearing only his cyan gray-blue (the same Default color found on this web design builder platform) shorts and white Hanes or Fruit-of-the-Loom T-shirt) and thick black jacket with hood.

    And that’s how our experience at our local ER for the VERY first time the worked out. The process was prioritized properly and the personnel staff members were professional, cool, calm but quick and collected. I have faith in “liberals” and humanity for all I care.

    Thanks for the services and to AllFather, of course. End of status report 20250207-0049 PST.

  • Impressive personnel spoke our language

    20250206-2342. Yesterday, our local SJFD showed up after I placed an emergency call. Two were tall guys who assessed my elderly father and one was female, who took down my dad’s photo ID and list of medications.

    (That’s how prepared and organized we’re supposed to be in case of emergencies. Also, I left enough space or room inside our house just wide enough for the gurney, which my dad refused especially the ambulance ride because he did NOT want to pay extra from our past experiences. Thanks to the concept/practice of being FENG-SHUI compliant!)

    They were VERY professional, calm and collected. The main guy in charge explained and walked-through the process simply and with enough simple instructions as I hurried along to prepare for the next instructions. I may be hard of hearing but when I force myself to absorb the important details rapidly, I focus and understood what he said.

    So they offered to stuff my dad into our MB E430, which is how we man-up/muscle-up our presence to show to our neighbors/the public that we’re NOT impoverished leeches, like certain Joo Shat Bees stationed around my hood due to of my encounters with a real Joo Shat Bee group since July 2000.

    And during the stuffing of my dad into his “CheDeng”, the main guy named ETHAN exchanged a few words with my dad. I was surprised this encounter ever happened. I do NOT know the names of the other two staff members.

    Overall, I would give our City of San José services and excellent rating despite my Miss Karen B!tch persona. Thanks AllFather for allowing NOT to unalive my personalized NPC, who is skinnier/thinner and slowing down recently.

  • Discovered local good health services news

    20250206-2320. I have discovered some good news. After living here 50 years, we have NEVER visited our local hospital until yesterday. We live near the outskirts of the EAST SIDE but more towards the North side. So we are really located smack dab in the middle with access to the South side but way. way far away from the West side, which is were the Big Techs are stationed. (I think there is OLD Western music lyric that I rhymed but I’m NOT sure from my incoming thought.)

    A few minutes ago, I discovered the follow local news article via two red alert messages , which is good news for elderly father and especially for my health service: https regionalmedicalsanjose dot com upslash about upslash newsroom upslash county-of-santa-clara-and-hca-healthcare-reach-agreement-for-county-to-acquire-regional-medical-center.

    I finished filling out and submitted my survey or feedback, which I have been doing recently with gusto and as part of my Miss Karen B!tch who wants nothing more than to “help” improve the quality of customer service, which is part of my online presence, I guess, to “assist” with advertising and marketing for local businesses. That’s all.

    And so I was organizing my daily work by renaming files and folders, which I now have 85 to managed for our household! I just like taking lots of screenshots to make sure I’m NOT seeing things and to pull up information for when I need to activate my Miss Karen B!tch or refer to screenshot files for submitting my feedbacks and surveys.

    And so during my daily filing and creating a new folder for yesterday’s emergency services and ER visit, I pulled up the main website of our local ER and lo and behold I saw two red-colored alert messages to which I clicked on the above-referenced linked. And so that’s how I process my daily task from beginning to end.

    It was pretty much my idea or whosoever during the HRC presidential campaign to integrate and streamline IDs and health services all across the board. I’ve done so through my OLD Twatter account using my OLD now deleted Gmail account, which referenced my REAL last/surname.

    So that’s how I was able to “support” team NWO or whosoever is spiritually/telepathically connected unto moi and for overall customer service experiences globally/worldwide. That’s all.

    I did NOT realize that my Gmail account would be traced back to my real last/surname. But thankfully I probably referenced my nickname as my First Name and probably my initial as my Last Name; since Gmail profiles are public and can-NOT be hidden.

    And so I had to delete my Gmail account containing my real last/surname due to the spams. I did NOT want to delete the whole account but I did until it was too late: I could have just deleted the Gmail access.

    So that’s all for now. End of status report.

  • Still tweaking weblog site on rainy day

    20250206-0933. Greetings, chumps! My elderly father and I are safe and sound after visiting the ER yesterday afternoon/evening. The current weather is rainy. The current temperature 50º.

    Predictably  so, my dad has been correct to mention that yesterday would be sunny and that today and probably tomorrow would be raining.

    Raining is good for our two Saratoga Laurel trees, which are responsibility of maintenance by all/any/the adjacent property owners (or usually all/any/the corner lots dwellers here in the City of San Jose).

    (Off-topic: I made the sign of the cross while thinking of him being unalive as I headed upstairs to check up on my dad where he was using the toilet standing up (as he kept repeating last night of only being able to evacuation in such an upright position) and where we exchanged the palm to forehead greetings and blessings.)

    Anyways, I’ve switched back to theme Timestream and combined my Patterns from several themes in the hopes of finding the correct layout for at least the Front Page or Homepage, which are per se landing or static pages but with the dynamic or updates of our latest posts or blog posts.

    In my latest and least colorful or gay orenge (á la DJT skin tones) design modeled after the signup page of my other ranting site on Twatter/Hexed for the Front Page or Homepage, I’ve opted for the basic Dark Black text color against blindingly White Light background color. And this is for and in consideration of readability for those with eyeball impairments.

    Just like our favorite Live show/Video guy’s website which probably uses the same website builder services here, I had one design showing the left panel for the dynamic portion of our blog. (I’ll probably be using the third-person and first-person interchangeably here and going forward). The right panel was set to “Sticky” position with only three main landing or static pages called About, Projects and Widgets.

    I was VERY frustrated at the many pages PRIOR to the discovery of the Details block/widget, which helped tremendous to present a more compacted version of my Projects page, which included ALL four Projects for Dreams and Blogs; Poems and Prayers; About Us and Our Site; and the Random King James Bible Verses with audio books on our site.

    And so I’m down to just the 66 KJV audio bible books and the three main pages: About, Projects and Widgets, which has all the basic WordPress Widgets that I’ve been using in a particular order and set in the sidebar. Now I hardly use the sidebar anymore and instead combine features found in the Navigation widgets listing mostly my static pages instead of my blog posts.

    I also have the stand alone pages sharing the Query Loop layout in case the search crawlers are looking for something, such as my Blog, Blog Posts, Blogs, Latest Posts, Post and Posts. I modeled the naming of these pages based on the blocks called Blog Posts and Latest Posts and both the singular and plural forms of Blog/Blogs and Post/Posts, respectively. I’m weird but that’s how I like it!

    It’s 1007 PST and I just called my dad’s PCP (or GP in other countries) to schedule an appointment for an office visit and to let them know about what happened yesterday and to get a new authorization for 90-days prescription refills. This “admin” at home stuff is interesting and keeps me busy!

    That’s all for now until I find something else to do with my spare tire, err, time. End of status report 1010 PST.

  • Back to theme Timestream

    20250206-0215. Greetings, chumps! I’m up doing another all-nighter. And I could take a hint from the system that I needed to just have a clean FRONT-COVER or Front page set-up just for the Latest Post.

    I wanted to copy other websites by having a landing/static page with fancy layouts and at least one “image” to trigger the SEO algorithms or whatever.

    However, my Jetpack Boost paid upgrade was NOT happy! After switching back to theme Timestream, I am happy to report that my Mobile score is at 90, meaning the current theme setup is an “A-“! In other themes, I got a Mobile score as low as the 60s, or a “D-“!

    Furthermore, the Image Size Analyzer kept triggering lots of pages and posts with problems. I tried to “Resize the image to the expected dimensions and compress it.” But my Jetpack Boost paid upgrade was having NONE OF IT!

    And so I’m back to the HUGE fonts found in theme Timestream and the fancy drop-down defaults to include my favorite extra large HUGE font at 6rem!

    Moreover, I forget the accessibility factor to those who have vision impairment whereby dark text against light backgrounds is more readable than my preferred DARK BLACK themes!

    That’s all. End of status report 0227 PST.

  • Probably vagus response

    20250205-2157. My elderly father fainted after what the ER doctor mentioned: vagus response.

    On/around 1430 PST this after, my dad fainted after complaining about seeing blurry vision as he motioned with his right hand.

    I kept my eyeballs on him and continued washing and or drying the dishes. Then I headed off to the bathroom to brush my teeth and came back to do more dishes.

    And while I still had my toothbrush hanging from my mouth, I could see my dad’s hands slowly pull away from the top of the table.

    He was unresponsive as I saw him shivering while he stared slightly upward and straight head. I whacked his chest several times but he still was unresponsive.

    I whacked in the chest and tried to revive him. Then I tried MTM and or some more chest compressions to get him moving. There was still no response.

    Then he started to slide down slowly and in slow motion from off his chair as he landed slowly on his butt.

    And my eyeglasses LENSES came off trying to keep him from landing on his head as his dining room chair slide off from underneath him.

    He was still NOT responding and I tried to perform chest compression. But he started making gurgling noises and I saw soup coming outta both his nose and his mouth.

    So that meant he was still able to inhale and I didn’t want him to choke on his upchucks.

    So I immediately rolled him to this left side to help him breathe and empty out the contents of his FULL tummy of soup.

    I was on the phone of the emergency services when he was already revived and said yeah to the operator.

    I had difficulty calling emergency services because I still do NOT know how to operating my smartphone.

    Fast forward to 2000 PST and signing off 2001 PST, we made it home safe and sound from our VERY first visit to our local ER since living here for 50 years.

    My dad is almost finished with his shower and then I’ll prepare his late supper. Thanks to AllFather, of course.

    P.S. Due to my excitement as usual, I forgot both our our mobile phones.

  • Posted two images of our cooler

    20250205-2153. Yesterday I posted an image of our almost empty freezer/refrigerator. Today I posted an image of our almost filled freezer/refrigerator. What we used to purchase at DECA for around two-hundred dollars over forty years ago, filled two carts. Now we can’t even fill one cart. So that’s why whenever I read about those who need essentials for food and rent, I’m like a grasshopper who jumps at the opportunity to help.

    That’s all. The images appear on my other platform site, where I have only one subscriber. End of status report 2156 PST.

  • Trying theme Lexionic

    20250205-2147. Welp, I switched from theme Timestream back to theme Blank Canvas and within just 30 minutes of applying my templates from last night, I like the latest theme Lexionic. I simply copied/pasted my main projects into the right column and filled-out as much as I could without touching the original Groups. I’m testing out how the left column stays sticky! But I can’t see the letters all that well. The concept of two HUGE columns is appropriate for my stuff. But because I’m never ever really satisfied with one theme, I’ll keep switching until something “sticks”.

    That’s all. End of report 2152 PST.

  • Cleaning up Media Library and Learning about SEO

    20250204-1345. Greetings, chumps! In today’s secular news, the weather is rainy and the temperature is freezing!

    Anyways, I just finished tweaking my weblog! This time I edited the Excerpts field for my main Elementor pages: About, Contact, Features and Home.

    Then I cloned/mirrored the 1. optional Excerpts, 2. Jetpack SEO Titles and Descriptions and 3. the Navigation menu for these main Elementor pages.

    Furthermore, I took screenshots of the Jetpack Social Preview (Preview what this will look like on social networks and Google search).

    It looks great and makes sense now!

    I learned about SEO from the recent WordPress.com News feed first thing in the morning.

    For some strange reason, a mysterious FRONT-COVER page was generated on/about 1310 PST! That was short of the symbolic double-digit time stamp of 1311 PST!

    So I guess this super intelligent computer, mind-meld programming, matrix-like grid has learned or at least anticipated that I should and wanted to include/clone/mirror the optional Excerpts and Jetpack SEO Titles and Descriptions!

    I was using the Add Template > Front Page template for my main landing/static page and constantly saving to my Patterns, which I should NOT have to detach!

    I could simply Edit Original Template via the save Pattern! I knew this was the case but I was too anxious to loose my hard work!

    But now I know better to just Edit Original Template or Pattern instead of Detaching from my post or page!

    I also deleted Featured Images created on my Canva dot com Premium account because the Jetpack Boost Image analyzer (Beta) kept triggering improvements/suggestions.

    I was at my wits end! So I just kept deleting images that were “wrong”.

    I am cleaning up my Media Library files of mostly images because I learned from the WordPress.com News feed about SEO how to keep filenames descriptive and short PRIOR to uploading images.

    So I deleted uploaded media images where I could NOT edit the permalink and re-uploaded my Site Icon, Logo as per the SEO short and descriptive filename of “site-icon-logo.png”, for example.

    I have to break now for lunch because my elderly father is waiting while I finish up this blog post entry, which I’m typing via the Classic and NOT the block version, which has all the Excerpt fields and Jetpack SEO detail, if necessary.
