Labor Day,,,,means nothing any more. Monday,,,the same. That's what happens when u get to where i am. But,,,this first front? OOO yeah!!! Darn crippling heat gone!!! I even have my windows open today.
About 5 pm yesterday, tho, i had a terrible scare. A grass fire on the block across the street to the North!, which has nothing but an ol house about to fall down, fire hazard. I heard the call on my scanner, looked, didn't see anything, but,,,less than a minute later, i saw flames, then less than another minute had come all the way over to my street!!! And was approaching the back of that house. That's when i left. I got in my car and went to the North a block, and watched til they had it out. They got there real quick. Had to air my house out later, what with all the smoke. Then about the time i was ready for bed, they were called back for one spot that was flaming again. Waited til that was over, and to bed i went. Believe it or not, i had a good nite's sleep. lololol,, We had 3 fires here in this county, but there were so many more in central Tx, was horrible. Still is.
Took a container of soup out of the freezer yesterday, forgot about it and made oatmeal for brunch. Well, got supper.
Boy, there was a storm opened up about vista,,hahahahaha. NO ONE LIKES IT. Like someone else said, too, BB, it's just not compatible with anything. And never gets better. By the time Dell was letting u choose which u wanted, it was a few months down the road for me, and i had gotten used to vista. HP was top of the line for a while, might still be. Back when,,,u know, (cause i don't know how long ago) my first one was compaq. Wow,,,only one internet company anywhere around here, (i'm in the sticks) and we were limited to 40 hours a month!! Was so slow, i never had a problem with it. Think it was 256K. hahahaha,,,Won't even get into the modem not working for months , having compaq pick it up and take to Houston to figure out the problem,,(was plugged into wrong place). Best Buy went on my *&^%% list. Took it back lots of times, never fixed. Even had repairmen come to my house. Wow where was i? Think that was the one lightening got. Yeah kinda sure of it. Had insurance.
Gosh, it's 12;30 and still nice. When that first really cold front comes, i always cooked deer chili or stew. Loved it. Now since i rarely cook, don't know what i'll do. Only reason i have that soup is cause i cleaned out my freezer, found that beef needed to be used. Lol, i put rib eyes, and chuck roast together. hahahahaha Made a good soup. You seen those boxes of the 6 oz rib eyes at Walmart? Had a couple of those left. There are T-Bones too. Can't eat beef much, now. Gotta be falling apart tender.
Think i've bored yall enough, for now, anyway. TC, HAGD

XP, Vista, 7
I'm BACK...Kinda, sorta, missed yesterday, just a little bit of a blog. Lol, might be the same today. OOO yeah, now i remember. Wanted to tell you why i got vista, in a puter. HAD NO CHOICE. My xp died on me, and when i had to get one, the only thing they had at that time, was vista. This was Dell. My choice of puters at that time. Soo, anyways,,,i hated that thang from the get go. NOTHING was compatible, had to change everything i owned to work with it. Like to never got the printer to work. Had to contact each company so they could give me the updates for vista..You getting the picture now? The printer company told me wrong, but finally sent me a cd that worked. Their web site had left out a step in the instructions. Whew. Still not thru. Spent hours on the phone with Dell, with other things too. See what i'm talking about? THEN, a few months down the road, they had the nerve!!! to give u a choice, xp or vista!!! So when Windows 7 came out, i was one of the first to get it, and loved it from the start. When i got this laptop, that's what it had, so,,,didn't take me long to update that desk top to 7 too. Did that with the download. Vista was the worst disaster ever.
My nephew that came over to bring my doors in,,said he was in shock seeing the countryside around here. He's going to college in San Marcus, where there's springs and things, and still green. I'm still gonna go around the whole county taking videos. Still waiting, things still dying. Still drying up. Like us, BB,,,hahahahaha, had to say that.
Brunch ready, and i'm sure getting hungry. Got ham steak, potato salad, and v8. lol Don't do veges well, unless i stir fry em. Drinking them today.
Reminds me,,loved that rum too. Was my liquor of choice, but the lite one, bicardi. That dark can make u mean,,,didn't u know that, BB? lololol I was a happy drunk. Was beer for years. My bf told me one time, i was the only woman he'd ever known who could keep up with him and still function. At the time, i was proud of that! Couldn't throw washers til i had about 3 down, or more, but u better watch out then. Even the kids wouldn't take me as a partner without asking how many beers i'd had. Less than 3, was nope. One time, we had a big bar-b-q, and set up a washer tourny for $1.00 a piece, just to have a pot. We divided the experienced ones with the nons,,and one man got my 10 yr old g/dotter for his p. He was frowning, doing his diappointed thang, til,,,,, she threw the first time. Was against my bro, B, who won tournys all around here, and when he put one in, she covered it, all thru that game. After her first throw tho, that p of hers was grinning from ear to ear, and if HE had made just ONE point they would have won. All our kids learned at a very young age, to throw em, so they could play with the adults.
That front hit about 1 1/2 hours ago., Slammed in here, making lots of noise. Made me look to see what it was. Wooohoooo. Know i already told u about the Labor Day weekend when my kids were young, and it got just down right cold. And they were the only ones in the swimming pool, everybody else had a little sense. My son never had any body fat so he could just drink something cold and get chills. This not that good, but sure beats what we've had.
Still no plans, but,,i hate to make plans anyway, they're made to be broken.
HAGD
Had a good scare a bit ago. The empty block across the street caught fire, and in this wind, was going fast. It's not quite empty, has a huge ol falling down house on the corner right across from me. That's what i was worried about. I got in the car and left! Went over a block and watched til it was put out. Looked like it started at the edge of the pavement a block over, like from a cigarette. The fire dept put it out real good. Kept putting water on all the spots til they quit smoking. The grass burned right up to the back of that house too. But i could just see it crossing the street to my side. whew,, No one lives next door, heard it might have sold tho. All this belongs to the same people. Cya tomorrow, just threw this in.

Got Those Doors,,,
Got my doors!! N and i went over there this morning. We were barely able to get them out of her truck, so i called my nephew and asked him to come by with a friend and bring them in for me. They both have glass, wouldn't want them to get broken outside. Don't know when i will get them installed, lololol,,,but no problem there. Got the doors, and the rest of my life to do that, right? I almost backed out on the entry one, but after i talked to N and she told me you could fasten rods to a steel door, got back on the band wagon. Now,,just for some cooler weather to install them. When i'm not having to run the AC.
Didn't go to sleep til about 4 last nite. Would lay there, toss, get up and read, go back and toss, u know the routine. We were back in time for a nap for me. And she also said she was going home to do the same. She's been feeling crappy for a couple of days, said even had chills 2 days ago, and now has bad cough. It's going around. I think that might be what i had several weeks ago. Know i had hard chills, which i haven't had in about 40 years!!
Had just a short nap already. Made quite a bit of progress on the huge book. Just about 500 more pages to go.
Gonna cut this short today, way late getting here. so,,,

Missing ALL That Rain!!!
Eating oatmeal here at 11;30 am. Never was a breakfast eater. Back in high school, i slept til 10 mins before i had to leave, jumped up, got ready that quick, and was gone. Didn't see any sense wasting sleep time. Now i never set an alarm, well almost never. Best part of being old. hahahaha. Should i say, retired?
Told BB he needed a wagon, for all those fish he doesn't catch. But,,reason i did that, is i have used a big red wagon always,,since my kids had one way back. Had to buy a new one a few years ago. Great to haul stuff around the yard, haul groceries to back door, just about anything. Course, Sadie Mae would have to ride in it. Or, maybe she could pull BB. hahahaha. One time i tied one to our german sheppard, and put my young son in it. She loved it, but the further she went the faster she got. By the time she went around the corner, she was running, and that wagon turned right over throwing my son out. He got up, wanted right back in it. lololol I led her after that. Everybody needs a wagon.
I just can't believe all that rain turned to the North!!! Had such high hopes. All of Texas getting a drenching. Pipe dreams. But did i see a front coming this way?,,,Cooler by Monday? Probably what ran off the rain.
N told me she would take me to pick the doors up tomorrow. Nearly changed my mind, thinking i couldn't cover up the top half of glass, in a steel door. Never had steel doors til i got the back one, and it doesn't have any windows. All i want to do is put curtains over them, on a rod at the top. Anybody done this? Quick,,tell me before tomorrow. lol. Need ur help and input here. My bro B would use roofing screws,,hahahaha.
It IS gonna cool down Monday, just saw the weather. OOO Boy. My utility bill was up about 40.00, which i expected. It covers 3 extra days too. Mid July 14-Mid Aug 16. not bad. That's everything, water, electric, sewer, trash.
Wish i had something to write about. Wish i had lots of money. Wish i was younger. Wish i was thin again. Let's see, what else. hahahahaha,,,That's all BS,,except the first one. Glad i have what i have, i count my blessings every day. Home Health Care taught me that. Worked with one, in his 30s, had dived off a cliff, hit his head, became paralyed from the neck down. Had 2 young kids, a wife he hadn't been married to very long. Other young ones had bad health problems. Even the older ones were sad too. But it made ME feel good to help THEM. Think i might have told you also, about Big Boy. lol,,Weighed 600 pounds, had to give him a bed bath every day, when i was sent there. He had a specialy made bed, with bars above, could turn himself. His legs had broken open from the weight, and the company i worked for was looking for a nursing home for him. A nurse was by every day to change the dressings. He was 42. By the time they found one, he had gained up to 700. BUT, on the other side of the coin, WE were paying his disability and health bills, because he was fat.
Any of yall like to play games? Online. With real ppl. I play mostly at www.onlinebandit.com. Just thot i'd throw that in. I do ludo and painted yahtz. Have to be good, got kicked off one time. hahahaha. Not saying what i said, but they are strick. So when i leave here, i usually play for a while. Loved games all my life. Also play rummikub on another. Got a BIG book to read right now, tho. About 160 pages in. Out of 760.

Privacy
Well hells bells, im still having to redo my whole google account to post comments. Why doesn't it keep it?,, Who knows? AND,, before u say it, i do check the box to remember me.
OOO Mercy! Just had to bend for a while to trim my toe nails. OOOOWWW. That pain pill i took last nite worked so good, might do another one tonite. Hush, BB. lololol. Cut too much on 2, now i'll have sore toes for a while, but,,,they are short.
There are a couple of blogs i would sure like to respond to, but,,,NOT gonna put my private info on there, just to do it. One is rvsue, the other is oljules. They want tooo much private, for me anyway, just to post a comment. Don't know what you'd have to fill out to become a follower. Ur life story i guess. Anyway, i'm too much a private person, just won't do it. Closed out that facebook too, too much info. Don't do chat stuff with people around here, can use my phone, not a public place. I explained to BB why i don't put my name out. I don't even use my name on my email. One time, i was pitching a fit to the cable company cause they wanted my personal phone number, and i didn't want to give it to em. hahahaha,,,I was listed in the phone book!!! AND worse, it was even on my checks i paid them with. hahahahaha (Realized that after i had talked to them),,,Well, duh,,even smart people like me can be,,,uh,,,u know,,sometimes. lolololol Nuff said about THAT subject.
Gotta get on the phone and call the Lowe's in Marble Falls, see if they have 2 doors i saw in their ad today. One is a storm door and the other is an entry door. Need them both on the front. Has been too hot to do the work, but getting about to the point where it can be. For me,,lol, having to have the doors open til replaced. Gonna call the man that put on my back ones, he has told me he would when i got ready. Will ask my bro B first, but he hates to work on old houses. Gets too impatient. That store is a pretty new one, and is huge. I'm gonna ask about delivery too. Just called, forget delivery!! $79.00. But the doors are there, both of them.
Need to make a store run. BBL maybe.
If not, HAGD

Bring It ON!!!! (a Norther)
Had to sign back in to google today, to post!!! Is this a recurring problem, or what? I'm talking about going thru the whole process of getting the google account. That was to post on OFM,,not the other 2.
O well, whatever. Lol BB, have those beetles around here too, and sure do NOT want em in the house. There's another black beetle that comes in somehow, all summer. I use my little trapper thingy and pick them up, throw them out.
Know what yall gonna say, but this was a first. My right wrist, hip, left knee, hurt allllll nite. Even an aleve didn't seem to help. Never have had arthritis that i know of. Never had rain warnings. Sooo,,,wth did i do to me? Racked my brain, and only thing i could think of, was cleaning out that water container outside. Took a long time, leaning way over, washing, scrubbing, rinsing. hahahaha, Next time, i'll put it up on the table, like i was telling BB to do with his tube. Has to be the reason. Hope it gets lotssss better by tonite. Still have that pain med, gosh, didn't think about that last nite.
Just cooked some oatmeal for lunch. Ate one of my breakfast bars earlier, gonna have to quit em. Gives me indigestion every time now, Another thing i don't have. Til now. That's the lap band. Got an appointment on the 13th, so i'll ask about that. Need a little more fill. It works real good for like, 3 weeks, then it starts to stretch or something. Lets u eat more. Need to get to the place where my friend is, she can't eat. lololol,,,I called her yesterday, cause i was worried about her not getting enough nutrition, but she said she was. Might have to quit meats, they're the hardest to do. Well, breads, salads are too. Really dry toast works ok.
I was so glad! to see the end of August, i changed my calendar today. hahahaha, Now i'm waiting on that Norther BB was talking about. Anything's possible here in TX.
Have yall noticed there is NOTHING on tv now??? I'm having to record movies all the time to keep for nites when there's nothing on i'll watch. And,,the library called and had the book i had reserved, the newest of the Clan of the Cave Bear series, and,,it says the last one. It's like, 2" thick, hard to hold, but i sure got a ways into it last nite.
Who's gonna watch that Dancing With the Stars this time???,,If it could get worse, it just did. They had to rake the dregs to come up with contestants last year, but this year??? I have rarely watched it, but sure WON"T this year.
That oatmeal was a DRUG. Putting me to sleep.

Look Out Now,,Yall
I'm sooooo proud of myself, yall, all on my own, i stumbled on how to,,post to our new blogger, BBs son, Mr. nice guy himself, and,,,get this,,DDs!!!!!!! Wasn't anything to do with cookies. Somewhere, it showed google account, sooo,,,i redid it. IT WORKED I know yall are so glad,,that i can now post to ur blogs. lolololol,,,Especially, you DD.
I bought one of those foam pillows about a year ago, so this morning i decided to give it a washing, with a set of sheets so my machine would balance, right?,,,That worked. Went in there to check on it, and that pillow was floating, so,,,i had to reset and start it over. Pushed it down and hoped it would work then. lol,,Don't know how much it cleaned it, the cover still has the stains, but it was lucky i left it on, that foam had a whole lot of little pieces coming off. When it dries, i'm gonna take the cover off, and clean all that off. Gosh, that thing cost like, around 24.00 at Walmart. Why would it do that? I've tried the memory foam, used it awhile, didn't really like it. Weighs a ton. I like the foam best, of all i've ever used.
See, you can talk about nothing, just get started. hahahaha
I also cleaned out the water thing outside, was all green and nasty. So i washed that out too. I just happened to look out yesterday, in time to see 2 mockingbirds land in the crepe myrtle there above, gasping, it was so hot. Had their beaks open, panting. Wish i had thot to put that container out lots sooner. Just hadn't realized the critters around, that didn't have water. When Jude goes out about my bedtime, i turn the lite on and see what might be out there, but haven't seen anything since the possum, his friend.
Where did i see that ants won't cross a chalk line? Well, i've tried it. Had zillions of red ants coming around my house right past my back door. So,,,i chalked the walk, and do u know?,,,it works! Lol, i brought in about 3 or 4 one morning inside my paper. Folded it back and poured them out the back door. Then a day or 2 later, Jude was checking out a bug in my kitchen, and ,,,it was a red ant! It got squished. Now i feel bad. I know they won't sting if you don't threaten them. When i was a kid, i let them crawl all over my hands. Just don't mash them. lololol They were, and still are, fasinating. Bees, also. Dad kept bees for a while, in his back yard. Don't think he ever got stung.
Ok,,gotta quit this and eat, have had nothing today. Might check back in later.

Went in there to check on it, and that pillow was floating, so,,,i had to reset and start it over. Pushed it down and hoped it would work then. lol,,Don't know how much it cleaned it, the cover still has the stains, but it was lucky i left it on, that foam had a whole lot of little pieces coming off. When it dries, i'm gonna take the cover off, and clean all that off. Gosh, that thing cost like, around 24.00 at Walmart. Why would it do that? I've tried the memory foam, used it awhile, didn't really like it. Weighs a ton. I like the foam best, of all i've ever used.
See, you can talk about nothing, just get started. hahahaha
I also cleaned out the water thing outside, was all green and nasty. So i washed that out too. I just happened to look out yesterday, in time to see 2 mockingbirds land in the crepe myrtle there above, gasping, it was so hot. Had their beaks open, panting. Wish i had thot to put that container out lots sooner. Just hadn't realized the critters around, that didn't have water. When Jude goes out about my bedtime, i turn the lite on and see what might be out there, but haven't seen anything since the possum, his friend.
Where did i see that ants won't cross a chalk line? Well, i've tried it. Had zillions of red ants coming around my house right past my back door. So,,,i chalked the walk, and do u know?,,,it works! Lol, i brought in about 3 or 4 one morning inside my paper. Folded it back and poured them out the back door. Then a day or 2 later, Jude was checking out a bug in my kitchen, and ,,,it was a red ant! It got squished. Now i feel bad. I know they won't sting if you don't threaten them. When i was a kid, i let them crawl all over my hands. Just don't mash them. lololol They were, and still are, fasinating. Bees, also. Dad kept bees for a while, in his back yard. Don't think he ever got stung.
Ok,,gotta quit this and eat, have had nothing today. Might check back in later.
