Aren't you bored of me yet?

Look what some nice person sent me on FACEBOOK after I ranted about Dell for the past few days and my status is almost perpetually bitching about Dell: Screenshot of my browser....



Oh the IRONY. Bite me Linda!

Ya know, if I wasn't already married, I propose to this guy:
http://www.ihatedell.net/forum/phpBB2/looking-for-dell-info-mini-rant-included-t13886,highlight,email+executive+list.html

Oh the shared pain, but at least he made me ROTFLMAO with his many posts on this thread....
I feel his agony and at least he made me laugh about my problem.

In addendum to my RANT POST....

Here's the issue in a timeline with technical details... Any opinions are welcome....



DHELL

I just found this website and am also posting to my journals hoping and praying someone out here is a technician with:

1.) A Brain
2.) Can type in English
3.) Is anyone other than the Idiots I have been dealing with for the past 2 MONTHS....

Here's the condensed Version of the Problem.
System: Inspiron 1750
OS: (Came with Vista Home Premium installed, Was upgraded to Windows 7 and also reformatted 5 days ago with Windows 7 from scratch)
Intel Core Duo p8600 2.4 Ghz
64-bit operating system

Problem I've had since I took this out of the box?
BSOD every 5 freaking minutes. Stop Code 0x0000000000003B
System_Service_Exception



The Longer version and the Hell that is my Dhell:

I am so Depressed and Frustrated and ANGRY at Dell.

I ordered this Laptop on 9/9/09 and I got it about 5 days later. I opened it, it was just the computer, no disks, no documents, just my laptop. I thought it odd, but frankly didn't think much beyond that. I turn it on, go through the initial set-up (Ya know Name the computer, set up your admin account and password crap on a new installation of Windows) Just as this bugger finishes it's inital set-up... It bluescreened for the first time. It had Vista Home Premium loaded onto it, but I was going to get a free WIndow's 7 OS disk from Dell as soon as it was Available. I thought hell it's vista, it's probably just being wonky as Vista is prone to due occasionally.

I thought it was just perhaps a fluke. How WRONG I WAS.... Over the next month my computer bluescreened progressively more frequently. Even when I had NOTHING drawing on the CPU. We're talking just sitting here displaying the desktop with NO PROGRAMS running at all, not even a browser.

My WIndows7 disk arrived, Mid November and I thought, FINALLY This will fix Vista.

WRONG AGAIN, I got even more Bluescreens than before, like Every 5 god damn minutes. So I try to call Dell and sit on hold for over five hours with NO ONE ANSWERING THE PHONE!!!!! I'm not kidding. Five GOD DAMN HOURS listening to: "We're sorry all technicians are busy, your call is very important to us, please stay on the line, and someone will be with you shortly. Your Wait time will be over five minutes."

That's a hell of a lot more than FIVE GOD DAMN MINUTES.

SO I said FUCK THIS, I'm e-mailing. Got the run around until I finally got a tech.

Enter the next two months of HELL ON EARTH. Mandeepy, sanjay, and a host of other "techs" I can barely understand not only type in broken English, when they do call I have to ask "WHAT?" over and over the accents are so thick.

They had me run a diagnoctic that tool 14 GOD DAMN HOURS and I had to sit here for the whole thing, they failed to tell me it was going to take that long, I started it after they called and instructed me to write down any errors codes that came up. So I started this diagnostic at 3PM and stayed up all FREAKING NIGHT to write down any error codes. Because you can't scroll, once the diagnostic test is off the DOS Screen you cannot scroll back to view it and there are Y and N prompts throughout that need to be answered... There were NO ERROR CODES, NONE!!!! A Wasted 14 hours.

Now they kept asking for stop codes and the blue screens happen so fast I was never able to get the code before it auto restarted and it took ME looking up help forums for days to learn how to turn OFF the auto restart. Not one of the "TECHS" (and I use this term LOOSELY) bothered to tell me how to turn it off when I kept telling them I couldn't get a stop code because the screen was so fast.

Funny, I found the answer with a few hours on GOOGLE.

Next comes the "We are going to have to reformat your whole system."

Me: No you're not unless you're abso-freaking-lutely POSITIVE this is going to solve the issue and you ARE GOING TO SEND ME an external HD for me to save my info. This is YOUR PROBLEM, YOUR PIECE OF CRAP COMPUTER and you will not wipe my data on a whim without giving me a means to backup my data.

Them: NO
Me" YES you will.

They sent me an INTERNAL HD.

So I bought a housing and made it an external and backed up my data... it took me 18 tries to get it without a bluescreen happening half way through the process.

Then 3 weeks later when they FINALLY ANSWER ME BACK about doing this re-format. THEY LIED. They said they tried to call me 4 times. Funny, my phone never rang, I never had a message showing any missed calls, nor did anyone leave a fucking voice mail!

Then the Tech said "I see you replaced the internal HD."

No ass wipe I did not you fucktard. read the whole god damn CASE ISSUE before you assume. You sent me an internal HDD but I certainly did NOT open this laptop case and void my warranty you idiot. I put that internal you sent to me in a case to back up my data. 

Then I had to remind them that they had to send me the software I paid for since they sent no disks with the computer at ALL! (I had mentioned this at the same time we argued about the HDD for backup) Then they sent only the Dell drivers and I had to argue with them repeatedly that I paid extra for Microsoft Office and they damned well better send me the software to reinstall after they have me wipe the drive.

They tired to balk and I told them to suck my ass and they better send me what I paid for or I'd sue their asses.

They sent me the office software and then said "they will call me Tuesday to reformat" I e-mailed back saying FINE talk to you on Tuesday.....

They called me on Saturday and I missed the call because you know, I was told to expect the call on TUESDAY and I actually went to a movie and had my phone OFF when they called at 7:45 PM on Saturday night.

I e-mailed them a new earful of rant.

They e-mailed back so sorries, we call Tuesday.

I sat here all GOD DAMN DAY, 12 hours on Tuesday waiting.

They never called.

I e-mailed fire and brimstone.

They called this past Wednesday. We re-formated from scratch.

I spent 12 hours getting this laptop re-formatted, 4 programs put back on, my printer driver installed and Firefox and then restoring my backup data. That's it.

I restarted the computer, put it to sleep, took a short nap because I had Merry Maid coming over to give me estimates.

I was up, I checked e-mail, closed the browser and it was just sitting here on screen saver while I showed the lady around my house.

As I walked by my computer out of the corner of my eye what do I see?

Bluescreen of Death flashes up really quick and then reboots.


SON OF A FUCKING BITCH!!!!!!!!

This was Thursday. After the lady left I turned off the auto reboot (AGAIN) and e-mailed Dell.

It took them until about 4 hours ago to respond.

They will either FIX THIS piece of shit that has not worked right for a single DAY since I've owned it. Or they will send me a NEW FUCKING LAPTOP!

I've had it!

Never, ever buy DELL. They are pieces of shit and the Technical asswipes could not fix a flat tire with a bicycle pump!

I'd like to think he loves me.... He loves my electric throw. He won't move off my lap, my legs are cramping but Awwww, my baby Jack.

Last Doctor Visit was to the allergist and you saw the host of things wrong there...
Before that was to the Endocrinologist for my Diabetes and we're STILL trying to get that under control after the steroids whacked me all out of control in the ICU.... I'm up to 320 Units a DAY of Insulin, that is a TRUCKLOAD of insulin and my numbers are still exceeding 200 sometimes.

However, My Latest Visit was to the Neurologist and all I can do is sigh and say FUCK.

My Neuropathy is no longer just in my elbows. My Feet and legs bilaterally have become severely affected. I can no longer sense Hot or cold, sharp or soft sensations. My feet feel like blocks of ice constantly (That's how I experience "numbness" as a feeling of "cold"). And the sharp shooting pains just make me want to cry most nights.

But oh no, it's not just my feet. Apparently I also have a nerve in my GROIN that has decided it too wants to be a prick and it is affecting my outer thighs. So they too are always numb.

The Dr. Bhupalam (My Neurologist) prescribed some heavy duty medication to try to alleviate the pain in my nerves so I can sleep. But I swear I am only taking this stuff if I am weeping from the pain because it's some serious shit and the side effects are so MANY they are frightening and they recommend I wear a medic alert braclet letting EMS workers know I'm on this crap. O_O

It's called Gabapentin and usually prescribed to epilepsy patients. It's prescribed as a pain reliever for Neuropathy because it frigging CHANGES THE WAY YOU FEEL PIAN IN YOUR BRAIN. So I'm still in pain, just my brain can't process the pain.

That's like lying to your own head.

I only took one pill and I did sleep, I needed it, but I'm reluctant to take another unless I just cannot stand the pain. This medication frankly scares me.

I am so SICK of being perpetually SICK!

I just want to NOT HURT all the time, I just want to not have to take fist fulls of pills, inhalers and nasal sprays and give myself insulin shots just to function.

*sigh*

I'd settle for 24 hours of bliss and no pain at this point.

Here's my Recipes for Chili and Italian Beef Sandwiches. I cannot make this enough in my house and it's GONE quickly.

So welcome to ABUSE YOUR CROCK POT 101

Now I use a BIGGEST Crocks they make, so adjust your proportions if you are using under a 2 quart crock.

CHILI

1.5 - 2 lbs ground beef 80/20
1 can Dark Red Kidney Beans (I use BUSHES brand, they really are great beans in a can)
1 can Pinto Beans
1 can Black Bean (Frijoles unseasoned!)
1 small bag frozen corn (this is better than canned corn)
1 med onion diced
1 green pepper diced
2 cans tomato sauce (I use Contadina brand, I think it's the best of the canned sauces)
Chili powder to your tastes. I use quite a bit, like 8 tablespoons approx. I never measure it myself.

USE CROCK LINERS, it will make your clean up a breeze, you can find liners by the ziplock and oven bags at the store.

Put Meat in crock and cover it in your Chili Powder. I totally cover the meat in powder. Dump in the rest of your ingredients, give it a good stir, makes sure to break up the meat with your spoon. Turn your crock on LOW for 8-10 Hours or HIGH 5-6 Hours. Stir and Serve



Italian Beef Sandwiches

NOW, I make a LOT, so again HALF this recipe if you're not feeding BIG eaters.

2 small EYE OF ROUND roasts. (Good cuts of meat make the difference! Eye of round is very low in fat, you will not have gristle with this cut!)
2 packages of Au Jou gravy mix
2 packages of Good Seasons Italian Dressing mix
3-4 cups of water (To mix the packets and cover the meat in crock)
Italian seasoning to taste (I use about 4 to 6 tablespoons) I never measure this, just sprinkle it in and cover the meat.
Get a jar of Mild Wax/Banana Pepper Deli rings or whole Peppers. Whole Peppers drop in 6 or 8, Deli rings toss in a handful for flavor.
If you like a little kick use Greek Pepperochini peppers.
The pepper you don't use in the crock, use as condiments later for serving. :)
1-2 onions sliced optional.

Hoagie Rolls.

USE CROCK LINERS, it will make your clean up a breeze, you can find liners by the ziplock and oven bags at the store.

If you can prepare this the night before, I recommend it, the spices will marinate your roasts nicely in the fridge overnight.

Place the roasts in the Crock, cover with Italian seasoning. Mix up the Au jou gravy and Italian dressing mixes in 2 cups of water. Pour on top of roasts. If not enough to JUST COVER the meat, add a little more water. Drop in onions and peppers.  Cook on LOW 8-10 HOURS, HIGH for 5-6 Hours.

After about 4 hours, the meat will be tender enough to shred with a couple of forks. I recommend shredding the meat as soon as it's tender enough so the spices can really get into all the meat. If you're not at home it can wait until you are ready to serve.

Once the meat is shredded, use tongs to place shredded meat into Hoagie rolls, be generous with stuffing that roll and you can spoon the gravy on if you like (I do.) Dress with peppers (optional) and ENJOY.

My Mom will not eat anyone else's Italian Beef Sandwiches, she said she's "Spoiled" with mine, so there's a biased review for ya! :)

Just went to an allergist and had the irritating scratch tests and about a dozen shots in my arm and it's been confirmed what I've known all my life.

I am allergic to pretty much everything.
The List:

Histamine x2
Mite DF
Bermuda Grass
Timothy Grass
Johnson Grass
KY Bluegrass (and I live in KY!!!! It's everywhere!)
Red Top Grass
MITE DP
Elm Trees
Birch Trees
Ash Trees
Housedust Mix
DOGS
CATS (I have three and no fucking way I'm getting rid of them, EVER, that's what drugs are for!)
HORSE (Again hello, I live in KY, Horses are like a staple here.)
HAMSTERS (WTF? Yes they tested for this and thank goodness I don't like rodents)
Every Mold they tested for I was positive reaction to it.

No foods or Medication thankfully. But Environmental crap I cannot escape, yup, I am allergic to it.
I've got an order to go in for blood work tomorrow because my reactions to the basic tests were off the charts, Dr. Corbett wants more intensive testing before I start getting shots twice a week for um FOREVER.

I have to give myself three shots a day for diabetes, pardon me while I not rejoice for being a human pincushion. *sigh*

I thought of you.....




( And click here for more OMG WTF WERE THEY THINKING AND MORE SCARY CRAP! )

Now on Day 2 of Chantix...

No really crazy episodes like I've heard horror stories of... (No severe depression/suicidal tendencies etc...)
It does however make me really sleepy and makes me remember very vividly every dream I have...

I never knew I was so fucking crazy! LOL

Since when have I EVER been a Cheerleader for Bowling? (or ya know even LIKED Cheerleaders!)

Why is an all black male show choir singing in voices from my high school show choir? Really the really big black guy singing with Dawn Hardt's voice was really too frigging much. That woke me up going WTF?

Then there was like this blond little girl, riding around on a huge a bull mastif chasing my kitties into a fountain, like 20 kitties, I only own three and only Krishna made an appearance in the dream, the rest were kittens I have never seen. I think I spend too much time on Lolcats.

Again WTF?

No nightmares, but strange as HELL MAN and we're talking VIVID Dreams that I remember quite clearly upon waking.

Cooper the Kitty....
He's so god damn CUTE!!!!!!!

Om Nom Nom Nom




There's so much more of cooper on YouTube, Go watch he's the cutest damn kitteh!
