Frustrated with Nintendo Wii

UPDATE: 9/2/08

After speaking with Nintendo Technicians on Sunday afternoon, I was refered to contacting Linksys( since thats who I have my router through) and asking about an firmware upgrade for the specific router I have. Well after talking to a guy I could hardly understand, there is no upgrade.  So with that being said I have to wait for a call back from and “Nintendo Advanced Technician”.

Whatever the case im still having problems staying connected in the Super Smash Brothers Brawl game. Notice this is the only game im having problems with. 

Once the NAT contacts me I will update this post again to those who are following.

 

 

 

I finally got my hands on a Nintendo Wii a couple of weeks ago and it has been great. I really like it more than I thought I would. So now that I am comfortable with it, I have begun to try setting up the Wii for wireless so I can play others, mostly family members, and I can not get it to work! It is so frustrating when it shows a connection and thats all find and dandy but it soon loses the connection and gives me an error code of 91010 which basically means that the wii server is extremely busy and just have to wait it out.

Blah. Im on the verge of just forgetting about it and just going back to playing with myself or hubby. ( ok that doesn’t sound right but you get the point in the non sexual way.)  If anyone out there knows what I can do, please help!!  I have gone through everything and looked up what all there is to look up.

HELP!!!

Great discovery!

Wanted to post something great and exciting that I learned and actually works.

I sat on a tailgate a few weeks back and didn’t know I hat landed my butt in some grease. The kind that lubes up mechanical devices. Anyhow, my first instinct was,” eww grosss!” then panic set in as to how I would get it out cause I was wearing some new jeans that I had just bought a few days prior.

I called my mother-in-law, who knows just about anything as far as homemaking and just old wives-tell secrets and many other things. Very informative. She told me to put regular Dawn ( the dish soap) right onto the stain and rub it in then let it set for about 30 minutes. Longer if need be. Then, you go ahead and launder as usual with other clothes .

In my amazement it actually worked!  Now I do it for everything. Even the shirts that caught the food that completely missed my mouth but yet after washing about 5 times you can still see grease or oil mark.  I have not yet tried it on Spaghetti sauce or wine stains but am eager to know if it works.

So if you try this out on either of the above or on anytyhing in general, please comment and let me know about it.

Happy stain fighting!

Fire to close to home

I just wanted to take a few minutes to spread the word, to anyone remotely interesting in what I have to say, about a fire that took place Wednesday afternoon.

At around 4:30pm I received a call from Tim ( hubby) asking me where the fire was. I just flat out told him,” I didn’t know there was a fire.” in which he started saying something but lucky for me his cell service was crappy and I couldn’t understand a word he said. So I quickly hung up the phone and grabbed the boys and was out the door to investigate as to where in fact this fire was at. 10 minutes later I was able to find another guy who works on the same place as we do and he told me where it was. So i had to drive all the way back home to use the phone and call Tim and tell him to get his butt home to come help fight the fire( what a hero). I then drive back down the road about a mile and there it was literally right next to the property owners house.

Here is some information about the property in which we live on. It is a cattle ranch and its official name is Circle Cross Ranch.  We breed about 2500 Angus cross cows on about a 15,000 acre area. The homes down in this area are right next to the Niobrara River which just happens to be in a canyon area surrounded by some steep cliffs and lots and lots of pine trees which are awesome except for when fires start.

So with that said the fire has burned about 50 acres but could be more since I have not received any word as to the exact amount since Wednesday night.  The cliff behind the owners house and with all the lovely pine needles that blanket the ground did not help with the fire that could easily have become a nightmare more than it already was. We are speculating that some guys from Cherry Todd Electric Co., who were working on some power lines right next to the house, didn’t ground the pole/lines so therefore, that is what initially caused the fire.

I had planned on going and taking pictures but once again my camera is pretty crappy and doesn’t want to really take any picture even with new batteries. So I guess I will figure something out or get it to work to take at least one. If that works then I will post them.

Sorry if this was long but thought I try to explain the whole event in the least amount of time without going into to much details.
