Three Favorites ; Websites

by

When I want to be entertained and I don’t feel like reading a book or blogging. I typically will go on one of these websites or apps.

 

Buzzfeed – https://www.buzzfeed.com/

I go on this site most and I must admit I subscribe to several of their newsletters/emails. I even have a special folder I put them into, in my email client and then I surf through them when I have nothing else to do.  This is my favorite site to waste time on, always something entertaining to read.

 

List Challenges – https://www.listchallenges.com/

I  stumbled upon this website a couple months ago and it’s a time killer. Checking off things I’ve done on lists is relaxing when I am stressed out. Here is my profile if you are interested.

 

BoredPanda – https://www.boredpanda.com/

This site makes me laugh, I use their app so I can laugh when I am having a bad day and not home. That is the only reason I really visit this site.

 

Are there any websites that are your go to’s when you are bored? Leave in the comments and I’ll check them out.

App&Website Review – Pluto TV

by

Now that my disability hearing is behind me, I’d like to do a website & app review that is not a survey site review. I only review products, survey sites, apps that I have personally used and my honest opinion; Good, Bad or Otherwise.

 

Pluto TV – https://pluto.tv/watch

Pluto is a website & app available in the google play store, Itunes and amazon app store. I have used the app for years on my smartphone and recently on my Kindle fire.

This app doesn’t require you to sign up to use, if you wish to favorite channels or delete channels that you must sign up. However it is a completely free app, you do not need to enter credit card information or pay anything ever. Unlike most apps that claim to be free, the only advertising you will see on PlutoTV is regular commercials on the channels in the live tv section.

There is something for everyone, they also have a website for those who don’t want to download the app. They have channels for movies, music, news, websites, games, sports.  They have 935 channels, I am 100% certain that they have a channel for you.

On top of the live streaming, they also have a movie/tv show section where you can watch a movie or binge watch a tv show.

This is the only app that I use to stream movies and TV shows, I recommend it to everyone and the best part it’s legal.

I hate this

by

I have been up all night, this is so normal for me and I can’t stand it. My SO is trying to control my coffee intake when coffee has never had any effect on me. My brain won’t shut off, that is the problem.

My doctor put me on the same sleeping pill and same dosage as she had me on back in twenty thirteen when I was seeing her. Afterwards my PCP was prescribing it and the major issue is…my body is used to it now. Medication is weird like that…what works for one won’t work for another and your body can get used to medication.

I have an appointment with her on Friday so I will let her know then, my doctor is pretty cool so I don’t think it will be a problem upping the dosage or trying a new med. I’m also stressed out, my court date is Tuesday.

I don’t have a lawyer because legal aid sucks..I called them back in October when I first appealed and they told me to call back when I got a court date. Then two weeks ago when social security set a court date, now they can’t help me because there is no time…uh make up your mind, for real.

So fuck it, it is what it is. I’ll have my doctor give me some paperwork stating my diagnoses and what medication she has me on and answer the questions the judge asks. It’s Wednesday and my court date is Tuesday, I know how I feel better then anyone. Hopefully it will be okay.

If worst comes to worst someone from target contacted me about some job that pays weekly plus commission via my indeed account. Social security can’t cut me off without notice so I will be able to pay my rent in April even if they do cut me off. I hope they don’t though.

Five Book Related Subscription Boxes I want to try

by

There is a subscription box for everything under the sun and I have tried a couple. I love reading, everyone who knows me knows this. I used to frequent the library but I find it is easier to avoid people if I read ebooks or buy paperbacks from amazon.

I would like to try these book related subscription boxes in the next couple of years (to be realistic, I don’t have extra money unless I work online);

 

My Coffee and Book Club: https://www.cratejoy.com/subscription-box/my-coffee-and-book-club/

I love coffee (would drink it all day if I could) and Books, It’s not that expensive either. Twenty two dollars a month. You can choose the genre or let them surprise you.

 

 

Chocolate and A Book: https://www.cratejoy.com/subscription-box/andbook/

This one ships from the UK and says fifteen dollars a month, has a lot of five star reviews. May have to put this at the top of the list.

 

My Thrill Club: https://www.cratejoy.com/subscription-box/my-thrill-club/

You can pick between three genres or be surprised, This one is only ten dollars a month. I don’t read many horror, Thriller or Mysteries (unless they are lighthearted). It’s on my list because its on the cheaper side.

 

My YA Reading Club: https://www.cratejoy.com/subscription-box/my-ya-reading-club/

For only ten dollars a month you get two hardcovers??? This is going straight to the top of my list. They have mixed reviews, but it looks like you get a movie with the books.

 

and last but not least

Bookish Book Clubs: https://www.cratejoy.com/subscription-box/bookishlys-tea-and-book-club/

Coffee & Vintage book club is ten dollars, Tea & Vintage book club is thirteen dollars and Classic is sixteen. If I subscribed I would get the Coffee one, has good reviews but I would probably try one of the above first.

 

Have you ever subscribed to a subscription box, Book or otherwise?

 

Seven Little Known Facts

by

Seven things that may come as a surprise to learn about me.

I gave myself the nickname Jojo: When I was a kid, I couldn’t pronounce my name so I called myself Jojo and it caught on from there. I usually tell people to just call me that as some people have a hard time remembering my name, spelling it or pronouncing it.

My teeth aren’t real: There is a genetic disorder in my family where we just have bad teeth, so I have a full set of dentures and have had them since I was eighteen. My grandmother’s on both sides of my family had them out young. Usually people don’t notice until I tell them, they look real.

I don’t like people in costume: People in costume really freaked me out as a kid and clowns still do.

I was asked to not talk about my mental health: A couple years ago I lived with three college students who looked me up online and told the landlord that they didn’t want to live with me. I was asked to delete my mental health diagnoses online.

I’m afraid of heights but I love roller coasters: they are fast, but heights freak me out.

I don’t have a best friend: I had a BFF when I was a kid/teenager but I have been fucked over by females a lot so I really don’t trust anyone.

I have a fourteen year old: My son will be fifteen in June, I signed my rights away when he was seven and he has been adopted. This is something I barely talk about, even offline.

I changed my mind

by

I decided to put up some of my writing, I have three stories/novels I am working on. I added some of my poetry and a rant section, as a lot of things annoy me. I would rather have them here then lose them again if this computer dies too. Luckily I had poetry, rants and stories saved on two old wattpad accounts.

Please do not take anything in that section, I have chosen not to use wordpress and it is just on a separate page.

I’m Around

by

I bought a used computer last week which got here Friday, I was going to use it for parts to fix mine but the screen on this one is broken too. I am able to use it though and I got it for eighty dollars so…

I am trying to stay on top of my email, I may have to do a mass delete of my personal one. SO bought me a kindle fire a couple weeks ago, I have the seven so I have been doing a lot of reading and playing Sims Mobile which I like way better then Freeplay. I was able to install the sims 4 on this laptop and I bought the Laundry stuff pack but I haven’t really played yet.

I have been on twittter and on a couple of groups on facebook.

Family drama

by

I don’t usually post names but I’m posting them in this post.

 

After the bad week I had I was trying to chill yesterday, I got a huge blessing Saturday morning. I was able to order parts for my laptop so I can fix it. I was in a pretty good mood, I get on fb and I notice Jen knows my cousin. Jen called me and told me my cousins businesses.

 

That is how it started, I sat for a good half hour thinking about telling my cousin as I knew it was going to start some bullshit. In the end I told her so. Look this is the thing, you can say whatever you want about me but don’t bring my child in to it.

 

Now here come liz Looney goofy looking ass, this bitch always putting her nose into some shit that don’t have nothing to do with her. Bitch going to leave me on VM but not going to answer when I call back.

 

I went to the store, get tagged in a post two hours after My cousin was over the shit. Here come Jen Looney ass acting like a fucking victim as she does, putting my business and cuzos out. Bitch had Liz calling my cousins mans phone.

There is different levels of crazy, there’s jen and Liz crazy. Then there is my cousins brand of crazy. Stop messing with her, leave her alone.

February was a stressful month for me, my laptop died. I bought a kindle fire so I can continue to keep my blog up to date. I was able to change doctors and get medication. I was also approached by the developers of an email application to become an influencer for them.

 

Post Goals for March

I hope to post once a week, I have some plans to do some product reviews. Notably the windows 10 email client review.
