TV Listings
This is the link i use for my tv listings, found it after the show world quit doing daytime. I don't even think there is one in the paper any more. Just in the daily paper showing nitetime only.
The paper has gotten so bad i'm seriously thinking about quitting it. I haven't seen anything from this county in i don't know how long. Even when it's a big news item. There's little what they call, teaser headings on top of each section,,,except the sports. When i asked about it, i was told it was because of a little bitty ad on the right top corner! There's just one thing i read in the sports now, and that's Mike Leggett. I was missing it all the time. They did tell me, it's in the Thurs and Sun editions. I quit it one time, read it online, but ,,,missed the ads!
My son and his gf went to Cedar Park for the Disney on Ice show, but,,,didn't have time to stop by and get this map i printed out, so we were on the phone several times. Last time we talked they had 15 minutes and still hadn't found it. Were gonna ask and grab something to eat. That minute they didn't use,,cost them a lot.
Rasberry crazy ants starting to appear in Williamson and Travis counties
Just what we need,,,another ant. And,,worse than fireants? DD, do you have any of these? Far as i know we don't ,,,,,yet.
Ok,,2 movies to record,,so yall tc, and

Not Much For Today
Here it is Friday aaaa gain...where does the time go? Tues brings in May!!! Where do the years go? lololol. I'm not busy, so how does the time go by so fast?
Got into helping my son do something else,,get tickets for a show this weekend in Cedar Park, but,,,,he waited too long, now he's gonna have to drive to Georgetown to get them. One day sooner could have gotten them thru email.
I turned all that paperwork over to him to finish, the medical ones. Can't get him to come by long enough to get it done, so now it's with him and he can finish. That Medicaid app is probably 20 pages long. And the state plan for insurance PCIP, is not bad. They have to take pre-existing conditions. So the best thing for him is do both, use the PCIP til he gets the other. That way he can go ahead with the necessary back problems. If he gets his app and everything in for PCIP by the 15th of a month, it takes effect on the 1st of the following one. As far as i could tell, it was the best solution. I know waiting on Medicaid approval could take a LONG time. It didn't come with his disability cause of a life insurance policy with a cash value that put him over a line. He didn't even know he had it, the cash value. Guess what,,he won't have it for long,,,lol.

Let's Get Something Straight
Now,,i will tell the rest of you, i have one g/child, and she was born to my dotter as a single parent. GOT THAT, Anonymous??? My son loved that girl so much, he said he'd always take care of her, and he has, even now. That meant helping my dotter, doing things for her like a father would have. We all loved that girl, still do, that it never mattered not having a live in father. My mom said one time,,about her, that,,she just kinda belongs to all of us. She was never made to feel inferior, and grew up so well adjusted, she won a full scholarship to Trinity, in San Antonio, one of only 25 the school gives. She was 6th in her graduating class, with a 96! It's so hard to get into that school, and then to get a full scholarship? In music. She is very beautiful, tall and slim. And yes, she does know who her father, and his family are, but has no desire to contact them. Never missed them. She also, never drank or did drugs. She married a man that we all love too. So,,,ANONYMOUS,,YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!!! In our opinion, they are the ones that missed out. Times when a child is lots better off without a deadbeat dad, doing drugs.
That kinda made me mad,,,huh? lololol.
Way too hot to get out now. I think it hit 99,,maybe that,,OMG 100 yesteray.
I've been changing a lot of my bill paying over to drafts. Years ago, i used online banking, but quit when they started charging for it. I don't have but a few bills to pay anyway,, so the ones like Atmos, Verizon, Hochheim Ins. i can do with drafts.
They aren't gonna do anything about the postal service now. I wouldn't mind 5 day a week mail. Today's paper said letting it stay like it is for now.

Heat is HERE
My son still hasn't been by to finish that paperwork. I'm just letting it lie. He knows he needs to do it. Altho he did tell me his back was so bad Mon he was in bed all day.
This girl, his age,, that just delivered my prescription, was his gf for a while back in hi school, and her mom had always been my bff almost all our lifes. She and i thot it would be sooo cool for them to end up together, but,,nope, not to be. Since her son and mine, 6 days apart in age, had never married and had kids, we also thot it would be so cool,,if a youngun contacted us and said,,hey,,ur my grandma...I even asked mine once, if any kid had ever told him that he was their dad. lololol. We DID want grandkids...
I still haven't seen the geese out at the park, and it's getting too hot out there for me. I lasted about 30 minutes yesterday. Almost all of it has been cleaned up from that disaster on the weekend, just one Ben E Kieth truck bed there. That's the budweiser company, the warehouse was built here. Did i ever tell you about a beer truck roll over way back, gosh, about 1980? We picked it up and guess what? That truck was fully loaded, and not one bottle, or can, of beer could be used, had to be taken to the dump. Let me tell you,,,it didn't get there fully loaded after it had sat in our shop for a few weeks,,,lmaooo. We had beer running out our ears...hahahahahaha and so did all our workers...So what, if it had been shook up a little?,,We sure didn't care. And that caretaker out at the dump? Sold that stuff for a long time...
I'm still in the old blogger interface, don't know how long it will last, but,,,gonna use it as long as i can. Nothing else going on,,so yall tc, and

So Upset, Just Now Can Write About It
I went to see a woman that until about a week ago, i didn't know had been put into a nursing home here. I stopped by her house a couple of times, no one there, and then one day when i drove past, there were empty boxes on the front porch, and 2 big boys out in the back, doing something. That was when i suspected. Then someone told me yes, she was. That visit upset me so bad, i still have trouble thinking about it. What is bringing this up, a friend called me this morning and had been by too, and was just as upset as i was. The last time we had seen her ,,,at her home, just a few weeks ago, she was sharp as a tack, using a walker to get around, but in no way ready for a nursing home! Now, we think she's so drugged she makes no sense when she talks. I asked her why she was there, what had happened, and she didn't know. They took her walker away, has to stay in a wheel chair. WE think her 2 daughters decided to do this to her,,to get her out of her house so they can sell it. And all her possessions. She had signed everything over to them years ago! I looked in the phone book and the one dotter i would talk to, isn't listed in there. The friend is gonna get it, then i'm gonna find out some things! I played baseball for years with this person, then worked with her in an insurance office for 8 more years. This is giving S and i nightmares, thinking,,OMG, that could be us! She's the same age as my Mother, and her oldest dotter is my age.
My Mom worked in a nursing home the last years she worked, and would watch for things like this. She was a charge nurse. Had seen it lots of times. It's the place of family to stop the drugs unless THEY want it. The docs will over-medicate to keep patients quieter. Anyway, this has really horrified S and I. There, but for the grace of God, go I. S and i both said, we will never sign property over while we are alive. I feel i could trust my 2, but,,,,,,
My leg is healing good. It's gradually going away. My camera stays in the car, or i would take another pic.
All my news,,so yall tc, and

Time For Indian Blankets
These were just outside of town. Several fields of them. Not as many as I’ve seen before, but a pretty good showing.
GROSS! This is one of the bites on my leg, on the back just below the knee. Was hard to take this pic, too. lololol. The other never got like this, and it’s well on the way to well now. I know it was a spider bite, not a brown recluse tho, but I don’t know where I got it.
Found Jude with this when I went out for the paper this morning. Hate that it was a cardinal, not a mockingbird. They nest just outside my kitchen window in the old crepe myrtle. I have never been able to see the nest, but have heard them waking up there.
Kingsland has had 2 bad fires at the same time. Arsonist? One was a house fully engulfed, then another about the same time with 2 sheds that ended up catching the house too. They called for mutual aid all around, and have finally gotten them under control, doing mop up. Sure is suspicious.
Sundays are long,,,longggg days. So I went out and got the pics. I don’t know why they are so different. Growing up, it was church day, then the afternoons were spent socializing. Then church again Sunday nite. Later, got into football during the pro season. Now,,nothing. Maybe that’s it.
I had to redo all this post, cause I clicked on an update. I guess this windows live writer doesn’t have the draft thing. I couldn’t find it. I’ll remember that,,,
So,,,yall tc, and

Order of Nachos,,,With 3 Chips?
About 5 pm yesterday i decided to go to HEB in Kingsland, and eat at the wonderful Mexican food place, so off i went. Nachos sounded so good, and that's what i ordered, a 1/2 order. I was in shock when it was brought,,,lmao,,it was 3 chips!!! loaded up with stuff, but,,,3??? I looked at it, and asked,,is this it? The waiter then asked if i wanted a full order, which i said no,, cost a lot more, for 3 more chips? Uh, no thx. So, ok,,i scraped off almost all of the stuff, was too much, and ate the chips out of the basket with it, and actually ended up with a lot, eating it like that. And they were really good. Might just get them again,,,lolololol.
Got to HEB, and wow, it was so busy, you could hardly go down any aisle. I had thot the rush would be over by that time,,HA! got worse. Then checking out was a long wait in any line. Didn't matter anyway, i wasn't in any hurry. LOLOL,,,nearly got that way, cause i couldn't go to the restroom, they were cleaning them. But i made it back home, got almost everything unloaded. This was my monthly trip. It cost me 8.00 to go there, and i might save that much, but, there are things i can't find here,,like my liquid sweet and low, the charmin i like. And coffee is so over priced here, i almost save 1/2.
I never made it out by the park yesterday so i don't know how it went for them, heard Fri nite was free, and i didn't think there were many people there, so, with the overcharges for Sat, i wonder. They fence off everything now!! and it cost you 10.00 just to get in, then the plates are 20.00. I haven't talked to anybody that likes this situation. Maybe they'll go broke,,hehehe. Good ol CofC. Used to be a fun and good thing, til they got involved.
Loved that little duck cartoon HJ had today,,,thx HJ!
