Getting There

Little better today. Got an antibiotic, cough med, musinex, all fixed up now, lol. Had to write down what to take and when,,too darn many. Not just those, but i'm including all the others too. Thot i had a full bottle of cough med, but just had 2 doses, so had to go to the $ store and get 2 more bottles. If u buy the one with dextromethorpohan 10% listed first, it'll work as good as any thing else. Learned that years ago thru the paper of course. Been getting that Austin American daily for ummmm,,,about40 years. Always got up earlier than needed to have my coffee and read it, before everybody else got up. Tried doing it online a few years ago, couldn't stand it, no ads!! lololol Lasted about a month. My bro, B, told me he knew what i meant, he felt the same way. You never realize it.

Gosh, just ate lunch and now i need a nap. Might have to do it. Trying to eat things out of my freezer that's been in there a long time. Today, was buffalo wings, FF, easy fixings. Not up to anything else. And besides, i never, well rarely, cook. When i was gonna get married the 2nd time, told him i didn't cook. He said,,who cares? lolol My g/dotter laughed til she cried one time, cause he was reading the instructions on how to open a can of biscuits. He could always cook outside. And i did cook, just wasn't important. A friend from Austin told me we should market my potato salad,,was so good. He was a big DJ, n all the kids were crazy about him. We were having a bar b q one time, had my 12 yo niece and a friend of hers out there with us, and all the fixings were inside on the kitchen table. The kids and i were there and he came in and filled his plate, then went back out. I told the kids, that's,,,so n so,,,and OMG,,they got big eyed, took off running out the door, and then just froze, their eyes huge, and mouths open.! lmaoooo. He loved it, lol. We did have tons of fun the 2 1/2 yrs we were together. But,,,he had a totally crazy teenage dotter that drove HIM nuts, and i finally just had enough. I never understood why people won't stand up to their own kids. Mine would never have dreamed of doing and saying things to me, like she did to him. I told a guy one time, later, DON"T have anything to do with her!!! Later, he said,,you were right. she is crazy. Still is, and now it all seems like it never was there in my life. Sure never missed it. And that friend stayed MY friend.

O yeah, that was when we hosted 2 biker meets on Labor Day week ends. WOOOHOOOOO,,, 3 day parties!! On Monday, when one was about over and everybody about gone, we were all standing around the last keg, and the hill where they had run for 3 days, was muddy going down from the overflow. All of a sudden this gopher sticks it's head up, and this girl says, ooooo,,,how cute, and goes over and PICKS IT UP!!! Wait!!!,,,why isn't that thing biting her hands off???, and meanwhile, they pass it around. All i could figure out, that was one drunk gopher!!,,,You got any other explanation? llololololol It never did bite anybody. I sure didn't hold it. I have a whole stack of pics. The photographer gave me prints later. He's the one that got tangled up in a barbed wire fence, broke his camera lens, and came over and asked if we had any super glue. I said sure, and got it for him. We all could NOT believe it!! He was putting it on his LIPS,,,saying no more beer,,, that was a $5000 lens!!! Like i said, fun times.

Nap time,,,

Charges Dismissed

Today's paper says the charges against the 10 year old were dismissed. Have to be 15. lololol,,,stupid cop. Seeing it on the news now. Locally, anyway. Still laughing about it, tho, him saying "I don't have a signature, i'm just 10" ahahahaha,,,then printing his name on the ticket.

Not feeling good today, trying to decide if i should go c the doc r not. Didn't sleep all nite, so that's most of it. How can u sleep when ur nose starts running water out? Can't talk,,didn't know it til i tried to talk to sis in law. Ran the neti pot thru both sides of nose. Still taking allergy pills. While i was up around 2:30, was in dining room, reading, when a darn scorpion came running toward me. Sprayed that thing with a yellow jacket spray and it didn't even faze it. Had to chase it down and squash it. Got stung getting back into bed last year, by one. Soooo,,,wasn't a good nite.

DD, it's strange how u can get turned around. There's a place in Kerrville that i get that way every time!! It's inside that little mall over there. Then once, coming out of Ft Worth. Took a lot of convincing that i was going the wrong way. Then all of a sudden, it switches back. Even now, it will happen. How is that possible? My mom had a place between here and Burnet.

Guess i had better c if i can get the dishes done. Then maybe get dressed. Called n got an appointment for 2;30 to c a DA, my doc not there today. Having that pneumonia 3 years ago, makes me concerned, since i do have COPD. I had that without knowing it, no fever, no cough. Just felt bad and short winded. lol, checked my oxygen and it's 96, so that's ok. Yep, got one of those little thingys that clips on ur finger to do that. That way, i can know when i'm in trouble. Right now, everything is from the neck up. Don't think it's the smoke from NM and AZ, think that's going another way. Besides, i never even got out yesterday. My son called late yesterday, and before he hung up, he finally told me he had had to go get staples. What???,,,Seems he leaned over and caught his head on a clasp and cut a 3" hole in his scalp, didn't know it, so later when it had kept bleeding, he asked his dad to look at it, and omg,,,sure his dad nearly passed out. Anyway, he went on, got staples instead of stitches because of 2 weddings he has to be in. Didn't want a shaved head on top. He was just thankful he could go to the office, not the ER. He laughed and laughed about the doc asking if he had ever had stitches. like,,,1000s,,,lost count long ago.

Later. Got dishes done, trash ready. Take it out on Tues, cause they come so early on Wed. Then, had to get back down. Don't have to dress for hours yet. Got enough leftovers for lunch. All set. lol

You c how i can wander. lol,,rattle on.

I Don't Have a Signature, I'm Just 10

OMG,,, lost my new post, trying to correct it. Rewrote the whole thing, then it wouldn't post. OK,,,here's the link for the story.
http://www.statesman.com/news/nation/texas-boy-10-ticketed-for-improper-seat-belt-1517015.html?cxtype=rss_ece_frontpage
Not gonna rewrite everything now. Thot i had found a way to edit a post, but,,,NOT. Wouldn't publish after i did.
DD, thx for ur comment on yesterday's. U know i read urs every day, don't ya, u should, after u went missing. lololol
Thot i was coming down with something yesterday, had a sore throat coming on, then all nite my nose was running water. Throat fine today, but head stopping up. took an allergy pill earlier. Where did this come from???? What u got down there DD? lol, something blew in.
OMG, been wanting to reach for a cigarette all morning!!!!, and it was 3 years on 5-1 that i had quit. Worse today for some reason. Almost never happens, but it does. Probably will do that forever.

Talking about stupid cops, brings to mind a story about my son and a brand new yamaha. Took it to the dealership in Austin for the 500 mile checkup, and they loaded it, WRONG, with him telling them so, and it fell over and got scratched within blocks. And yes, he went back!! Then,,got on it after he got back here, and it was missing!! So here he goes, across a big parking lot, gunning it, doing wheelies, and,,,came down on a brand new Cadillac side mirror!! He was more upset over his broken tail lite than that car. The 2 old people had been coming out of the store and saw it happen, and they worked it out with him telling them he would fix it. But then a cop drives up, someone had called it in. The cop hemmed and hawed around, but didn't know anything to do about it, so told him to take it home. He did, and about an hour later, here comes the cop. He had gone to the office and looked until he found something he could ticket him for, and came to the house to do it!!! Is that fair??? I sure didn't think so. But he and the cop became friends later. And, he and his dad fixed the Cadillac ,,,to perfection. One nite when he was still a teen, i heard on my scanner a cop saying he was gonna stop him for having red lites on his hood scoop. The sheriff told him to just tell him they were illegal and leave him alone! lololol They all knew he was a good kid, and still is. The cop was from another place here in the county. And yes, he knew the lites were illegal, but didn't use them much, had a switch inside. But after that, he took them off. He was a wiring genius. One time when he was 14, a man called and asked him if he would rewire a Lincoln wiring system that had all burned out. He did.

ok shower time, yall tc

OOOO, to be a Kid Again,,NOT

Thot i had figured out how to post to DDs blog. On the bottom of the posting page, was a sign up for a feed, which i did, after checking out what all it meant. Didn't work, DD. But i did read the old blog about the tiger. I had read it way back when u put it out, but reread it.

Here it is almost 2 pm, and i've done NOTHING. Well, made a few CDs for the kids that graduated, that i had filmed with my flip. Not the graduation, the party beforehand. My nephew and a few of his friends and their families. After that nite's ceremonies, they all loaded on a bus and went to Austin to play. Bro and his wife went too, but in their car. Then,,,next nite, the real party, which i woke up about 1;30 am, hearing about a fight with about 20 kids out in the street. Found out yesterday, was just 2 kids, but that led the police to the party, lololol,,a lot got away by running, but a lot didn't. Nephew one of those. Bro said he got a call from son, saying,,Dad, if u will come get me, they won't put me in jail. Soo, he did. and picked up a couple more kids, saying they were staying with him for the week end. One would have gone to jail because they couldn't get ahold of his parents, and he had been at the party the day before. The ones they caught, got MIPs. He said he'd know to run, next time. hahahaha. Also heard a niece's name too.

OK,,just got my bedding changed, and IM THRU. I'm NOT the kind of person that HAS to do anything at any given time. More of,,,if i don't wanna, it can wait,,kind. Outdoor thermometer showing 100.4, and that's cause a cloud just came over. Had been 102.6.

OOOKKKK,,, have i told u, about my weight?,,,After a week, i was down 3 1/2 lbs, but after 10 days, down 6!! Can't celebrate with food,,,hahahaha, won't go down after a certain amount. Tried again to eat steak out at Ns yesterday, had to gag it up. Hangs and won't go down, and it hurts. I even chewed it double the 30 times, lol. Pork was ok. Suited me, pork was great. You just can't cheat on this one., lololol

Since i'm so way out of time with the day, yall be good. r not.

Parade Day

Here it is, 1/4 til 10, and just heard on scanner about the parade. lolol,,guess i really didn't want to get out and go. Too late now. Did try to call my son, c if he was putting in any of his cars. No answer. Well, got out and went to check, and no, none of his cars. In case anyone doesn't know, he and his dad have lots of rebuilt GTOs. and one has won top of the show, lots of times. Another, won lots of drags, well, 2, actually. Way back in hi school, he had a trans am, he and his dad had repaired, and he sold that to buy his first GTO, a 64. This was when he was 17. That started it. The yellow 72 might be my fav, (the drag one) but then there's the yellowbird. That's a trans am, called yellowbird. OMG,,,what a car. They have enough to have their own car shows,. lololol. Way back, right after he started driving his 64, night before deer season, a hunter saw him putting gas in it. Made a squealing stop, came back, and kept making him offers to buy it. He kept telling the man NOOO. Man wouldn't take that for an answer, kept going up, and finally my son just got in and drove off. It's been sitting up on blocks for years, now.

I've never been interested in rodeos, and back when i did go, was just for the bull riding. That was when we went and took the kids. Never was the cowboy type, gimme a motorcycle. When i was single, wouldn't even dance with a man in a hat. Had a young one stop at my table one time, and kept telling me he was George Strait's little bro. Told him, i hate GS, and he just kept on, like that would impress me. lmao.. had the opposite effect. We always had motorcycles, not horses!! hahahahaha. and race cars.

This is for DD. DD, i read ur blog every day, and always enjoy it. I don't know what happened either, since i could post on it a couple of weeks ago, and now i can't. But even more strange, i can on the others that use google act. Would u try not having to go thru the word check?,,,just out of curiosity. C if i can, going straight on. Just a thot. Bob from Athens has the same problem. I can't post here on mine, using google. But i have a choice of name/url that will let me. All u have to enter is name. then continue. Now, the question is,,,,is it google or blogger???? hahahahaha,,,ok,,,,do ur wondering.

Animal Control,,Needed

DD, now, bears r one thing we DO NOT have, except when one goes wandering thru. We DO have animal control, and that's sure what i'd be calling. hahahaha, can just c our man chasing a mama bear with those 2 cubs. lmaooo.

There's a new show on animal channel, the cat from hell. Besides a dog whisperer, now there's a cat one. From all my years of being cat hosts, i have learned a lot about their body language, etc. One time, saw a cat phychiatrist on tv, telling how to make ur cats quit scratching on furniture. He said, blow up balloons, pin them all over the chairs, sofas, etc, and when they popped would scare the cats and make them leave those alone. HA!!! He never had siamese. I went right to the store and bought a bag of balloons, spent the afternoon blowing them up, pinning them all over my furniture, and stood back to watch. Ok,,here goes,,,one walks up to one balloon, sniffs, then puts his paw up there, and POP,,,he looks at that thing, then another, does the same. WOW,,,what fun!!!,,But then, they figure out they can gently put their ,,,hand,, up under that balloon, and pull them off and bat them around til they pop. Now i've got popped balloons with pins, all over the place. You ever stepped on a pin in carpet? Not good, i tell ya. Don't ever try to tell me cats don't think, or plan. Seen it too many times. Even my vet told me, that my siamese shouldn't be classified as cats. lol,,,Will try to find some pics of them. Had the same line for lots of years. Even my x and son don't have any of those any more either.

OK,,gotta get in the shower, nearly noon. lololol,,going nowhere, so why hurry?

Was reading BBs blog and saw where he might camp at Brownwood. Good place, and he even mentioned Inks, and that's right on my door step. In this county, Llano. It's a controlled level except in extreme circumstances. One year the river that goes into it, the Colorado, and the Llano, had floods so bad, they had to release too much and made it flood a lot of homes there. Now, it's ok, our rivers are still flowing good. Somehow. Anyway, BB, hope u become a resident for a while. Good places.

ok,, bb

This n That,,,

OOO DD,,I can post to allll the others with my google, just not urs. Sends me to a sign in page, which i did again today, then the word verification, then post, goes right back to that sign in page. So somehow, has to be from ur end. SSSSS

No news, good news, about pesky? Can't find anything today. Has anybody else heard since yesterday?

Just cooked some pan seared shrimp, yummmm,,,,waiting on other to get done. Had never tried it this way. Fast and easy, and soooo good. If u want the recipe, let me know. I have to eat really slow, and can't eat near what i could before. Might be able to eat 3 r 4 of these. Right NOW, but,,will bb. lol Used to buy a pound of frozen, batter it up, deep fry it, and would feed all 4 of us, as much as we could eat, and still be leftovers. Good ol buttermilk batter. Talking 2 teen age boys, too. Ok, had 3, gotta wait now. Feels like i'm stopped up. Every time i took just one drink of water during the nite, it did this. I would have to sit up until i could burp, lol, like feeding a baby. And i'm having really bad indigestion since i had this done. Even with the water. So i can't lay back down and go right back to sleep til all that is taken care of. Changed my appointment to go back to July 5, with my friend S. We've done this the last 2 times, and it helps both of us. What is making it allll worth while??,,,i weighed yesterday, been a week, was down 3 1/2 lbs. Darn sure worth it.

Who was talking mosquitoes?,,,,o yeah, DD. We have em here. No let up. Even had a spot of fleas outside in one place, but they r gone now. Mother always said they migrate thru sometimes. They were there about 3 weeks, and i did use sevin dust, but no fleas now. Hey Jude got his drops, so hes flea free too. The other one i had, Fancy, if she got ONE flea on her, she would do all kinds of shaking, jumping, biting, all with ears laid back. Then wouldn't ever walk on the carpet any more. Would jump from one thing to the other, and have u ever seen a cat tip toe?,,,she did it. on the little bit of space she would have to hit. Wish i had had my flip.

Had some kinda shocking news today. One of the men that volunteered at respite, just died of a sudden heart attack, had been to the doctor the week before, gotten married 2 weeks before, and had one like my Dad, here one sec, gone the next. He was retired, and 63. I know i might sound callous, but that's sure how i want it.

Hang in there,
