Welll,,,, hells bells,,,, had this ready to publish, and lost it all!!! Didnt get up til 9, then about 11;30, just fixing to get into shower, and sis called, coming by. Had this just about ready at that time, but didnt publish, wanted to wait til later. Finally got into shower about 12;30, just now had lunch, nearly 2 pm. so im way behind. THEN,,,i tried to do something to transfer a file from desktop to this, and bam,,,lost it all. SO,,,,im starting allllll over. what a day already.
Is this our Easter spell yet? lololol,,, keeps getting cold, and i know i can remember having ice in April. Just never know,,here in TX. And thats what i was trying to transfer,,,,a story i clipped out years ago, about a weatherman that moved to TX from yankeeland. Ill get it on here even if i have to retype that whole thang!......Maybe not today,,,one thing about being retired,,,i can always put off today, what i can do tomorrow. etc,,,,and etc.....
After all the hullabaloo today,,,dont know what brought it to mind,,, c title,,, but sure do remember what happened. Got up one morning, staggered into kitchen for that first cup,,,and just stopped and stared. OMG... had a mountain of maggots on the counter, next to my coffee pot....all squirming, squiggling,,, I stared for a while,,,got my coffee and left,,,,had to think about this,,u know. and i did. Went back ready to check my eye sight, and sure enough,,,i had seen right!,,,not only was there one mountain, when i looked on the other side of my sink,,,there was another one tooooo. Stood staring again. wow,, saw one land on top of that mountain, now,,,how did that happen????,,,finally looked up, and there was this trail of wood ants on the upper cabinets,,,dropping all these,,,thangs,,,lol,, into these piles on my counter. Was their larvae, musta worked all nite to get piles this big. I scraped them off and threw them out,,,never had wood ants again. Reason i said scraped, was because when u tried to move em, they kinda squished. I had just tossed their whole nests of new ones away. At that time i was living in a duplex, wasnt my house.
OK, spent an hour trying to get that file here, and just not gonna fool with it any more today. Have patience just so far, then have to drop it. Going out to my sis n maybe help her clean fish. Her partner brought in a bunch but it was late so he left them in a cooler. He went with a group from work, out to the lake, caught a lot of croppie. Ill clean for my supper any time,,,lololo,,,like ,,,helping cut up deer meat. Think I still have a small package in the freezer. Need to cook it while its still good. Is back strap,,,ummmmmm.
bye,,,yall,,,

ROLLING,,,ROLLLING,,,DOWN THE ,,RIVVVERRRR
Just cant make it here on mondays. When i get home from doing the volunteer work with respite, i collapse.
Ben got me thinking about that 7 year drought back in the 50s. I posted a comment on his blog, but gonna finish up a few things here. With the river dried up, the train brought in cars of water. All outside use of water was forbidden and u conserved even the inside use, too. Everything burnt to a crisp here over the summer ,,,before the rains came, and the river came down, had to have been in the fall, because i had walked to school that day. This drought now goes back 2 years, getting into 3 too quick. Our river has kept up a good flow thru all of it,,,so far. Rains have hit upstream enough. The huge rise on the river in the 90s, was a hundred year one. I did get to see that roll come down. Looks like a tsunami. OMG, lmaooo,,, just remembered this bro of mine,,,heard about it coming down, so here he goes down to the river to wait on it. When he finally saw it, he did decide to move up the bank, TG, because when it got there, that rock he had been on, was under in a minute. He was so fascinated, he rushed down to where a slab crossed it, about 16 miles downstream. hahahaha,,,had to wait like 3 hours, got bored, started walking up the stream bed so he could see it coming sooner. Meantime, hundreds of people showed up to watch too, and one of the deputies was running them back, (trying to),,,when they saw it coming, crashing around the bend, smashing on the rocks, bending trees over, and,,,,,,,,, this idiot running down ahead of it!!!! Everybody saying OMG,,,, who is that?? One of his friends recognized him and said, o,,,well, its ___. He knew he could outrun it, so he just kept going, lololol,,,but said he had to keep looking back to see all it was doing behind him. And yes, he made it all the way back to the slab and up the bank before it went by. So,,he did get to see the roll twice!!
Growing up here, that river was always a major part of our lives. It runs over rocks and sand, so its clean and clear. U play in it, swim, and fish. It runs right thru town. Then it also furnished our drinking water. When a big rise is coming, word of mouth gets a "bridge party" going, no matter what time it is. Last one was around midnight back in the 90s. Lapped the bridge that time, too. That one washed out water lines to our side, so we were without water for 3 days, but the city and volunteer companies kept us furnished with it. Put off a bath, just doing wash ups, for 2 days, but finally got a big pan of water, and got in the bath tub with it. LOL,,,well, it did make me feel like a "sorta" bath. I had a fish pond so i brought in buckets of water to flush potty with.
Hey,,,its Idol nite for all of u fans, (like me).. just nearly died last week when Casey was nearly eliminated!!! This happens every year!! one of the really good ones gets the lowest votes. that's why they came up with the one time "save",,,,which they used last week for Casey. Besides Idol, i also love!!! So u think u can dance. It's not back yet, but will be soon.
We're right on the line, according to the weatherman, for showers late today. Who wants to bet me we miss em. Heard a few days ago, that nothing expected thru april, but pinning a little hope for may. I dont keep up my yard any more, so dont water anything but trees n shrubs about once a month thru the summer. Gotta keep them alive, need all the shade i can get. When i was landscaping it, i used native plants, so there r still lots of tough plants there. Also planted to attract hummingbirds and butterflies, and still have lots of them. Really hate that my butterfly bush died, tho. A small shrub i planted next to it,,,salvia, i think, choked it and a few others out. Didnt know the roots would do that, so when my sis planted some, i told her to put it way out by itself. I do really like it, it blooms from spring to fall, and hummers and butterflies love it.
guess im gonna shut up for today, n find some lunch. u all tc,,,

Fishing???,,,uh,,,,,ummm,,,, welll
ok, im back. for now anyway. and Kathie, when i made a comment on ur blog, it printed my real name, so i took it off. dont know what to do about that, will check my google account. just dont like my name published to everyone cause its kinda one of a kind. dont know anyone else that has it. when i was young, wanted to be sue, betty, linda,,,,hahahahaha,,,but after growing up, really liked it because i am an only one.
that brings up why i named my second son a name that no one else has,,, about 2 months before he was born, (knew it was a son),,,i woke up during the night and was told, his name will be _____, so there was no question of what it was, only thing i had trouble with, was one to go with it. settled on his dads first name. but he has always been called by ____,,,<<< that one, lol. he was never affected by his name being different, in fact, he enjoyed it. he came home one day when he was in the 2nd grade, upset cause other kids were teasing him (not about his name),,,i told him,, act like it doesnt bother u,,,and as young as he was, he understood and did it. it made HIM the leader, all the others looked up to him the rest of his school years. his work in life has been helping kids, especially the underprivaledged, and ones with druggie parents, thru church and showing them they are never alone. there are some that have grown up now, and tell everybody he saved their lives. And yes, u can call me a proud mom......
ooo yeah!!!! i went fishing late yesterday,,,,, out at my sis's place on the river. and i know yall already know, didnt catch a thang,,,r i woulda had headlines... lololol all but 2 were throw backs. and they mighta thrown them back after i left. was just a couple of small bass. we discussed whether they were legal r not, then strung them up....hahahaha. my sis sat there n fed a whole container of worms to a turtle. still wish id had my flip cam with me when we headed back. my 17 yr old niece still had her bathing suit on, and all of a sudden, was screaming and jigging, and slapping and running back down the hill. thot shed been bitten by a snake r something, and all it was, was shed seen a spider on her!! still screaming,,,is it still on me?,,, i told her if it had lived thru THAT, it would NEVER get on another human being again. my sis, her mom, had told her to stay out of the water cause we were fishing, and when she didnt do it,, i told my sis, those snakes would smell her in the water n come to her. we had just seen one over by the side swimming in the water. hahahahaha OUT SHE CAME. she was our entertainment the whole time. (not intentionally) i have to watch what i say, cause she takes everything literally. dont know how shell handle being off in college next year.
ok,,,one more. few months ago, i had woke up about 11 r 12 pm,,,and heard my nephews name on my scanner,,,ears perked up,,,(u know how it is). seems someone had called them is as being suspicious. they had parked the pickup by some storage units, and got out and walked off. thats all they knew.,,,what they had done, was park and walk back to a tower and climbed it. saw the cop from up there, checking out their ride. had a great view,,,they said. well, they went back to their pu, and since the cop had been watching for them, thats when they got stopped, and when i heard this.,,, we just wanted to walk in the dark!!!,,, im thinking omg,,,cant they do better than that? hahahahaha,,,,theyre good kids, so nothing happened.,,,,the next time i saw him,,i said,,,i had heard he liked walking in the dark. he just died laughing,,,said hed told his friend i would hear it. cant get away with nothing in these small towns. lololol

HATE to call, get foreigners that cant talk english!!! asked the first one to transfer me to someone that could, and he hung up,,,,lmaooooo, but when i called back i did get one i could understand. i had one question,,,that could be answered with a yes r no, and that first one could NOT do that. took the 2nd one just a minute to do it, so i had all i needed. sure hope thats all i need from the idiot dept.
Need a little help on this firefox, maybe one of u can help me. how do i change security settings so i wont keep getting the question of "allow" all the time when im opening up a new page. get that on 9 out of 10 sites i go to.
gonna get up n get something done today.,,,,starting with shower, lol,,,
bbl?

Ask me no questions, I'll tell u no lies,,
MERCYYY!!!,,, been on the phone with a dell tech for 3 hours,,,,NO kidding!,,, I sure know how to mess up some things ,,,I changed something i shouldnt have for my eml files, and thats how long it took THEM to fix it. lololol, Have to save them into a different place, but saved all of them out of documents too. Ive never kept emails, i read em, save em, r delete em. That goes back to early years, with not much space for em, had to clean them out regularly. When i first got a puter, ( O mercy, was it a 286 version, compaq?) was in 1996, had ONE choice for internet, and that was limited to 40 hours a MONTH. Did i also tell u ,,,i live in the sticks? Didnt have high speed til about 5 r 6 years ago, and that was sattellite. Theyre real proud of their service, cost 43.00 a month. FINALLY, verizon wired us up and even to MY HOUSE, and now i have high speed for 18.00. wooohoooo. Like ol Texman, i have no use for cell phones, just have a net10 u get at the dollar store, and refill when my time makes me. im home most of the time, and i do take the cell with me when im gone. u cant believe the minutes i roll over, hahahahaha. never was one to yak on phone either. Yeah i see all u men rolling ur eyes, but ill tell u another thing too!,,, i hate to shop!!
Now where was i?,,, got distracted there. Cleaned my ceiling fan right above me here, kept noticing all this,,,stuff,,,on the table, and looked up,,,lmaoo,,,yeah, it sure did need it. I have one of those thingys that i ran over it, then had to clean up all under it too, but now feel like im breathing clean air....Did that while tech was doing his thing, also ate lunch, cleaned up kitchen. (Dont think he quite knew wth he was doing). I finally told him one time,,,its NOT in the email r documents settings....its in the computer settings. Well, thats where i was when i messed it up. lololol,,,then coundnt find it again. With the charge for it, i think i got the best of it. He said was NOT a common problem, and took em all lots of time and discussions to fix it. Well, decide to rerout it.
Im sure glad we r gonna cool off a little, and the closer its gotten to it, the less chance of rain we have. Always the way. Stupid weathermen. Dont know why i ever watch it. Got a little concerned about the man that does my yard, havent seen him anywhere in months. Finally called yesterday and YES , hes still there, lives about a block from me, and does a super job. Keeps an eye on it, so i dont have to chase him down to get it done either. Youd think with nephews, id have a couple of boys to do it, but,,,FORGET THAT. I tried both of them, and even their dad, my bro, said they didnt know how to mow a yard. Well, all they knew was on a riding one, then leave the rest. Thats what i got. Unfinished. Their mom finished it for one of them after she saw it, before i even did. anyway, forget these kids. I can do it all with a push mower, without even having to use a weed eater. Told ya, was raised right. lololol Not able to get out and do it now, and this guy that does, doesnt charge a whole lot. Takes him about an hour. Have had to just let my yard go, and lots of things have died, but thats just how it is. I have COPD, with emphysema, and i cant really tell its gotten any worse in the 3 1/2 years ive known i have it, but i did quit smoking 3 years ago, May 1, so thats probably the reason. Actually was no problem, even after 50 years, 2-3 packs a day. Being in the hospital for a week with pneumonia gave me a head start, and i just never went back. Have a fleeting urge to pick up my pack some times, but its gone as soon as it hits me. JUST AMAZING. Cant be around it inside now tho, it chokes me up. Out at my sis's, we just sit outside on her porch.
Gotta get up and make a move!!,,, byeeeee

A Fish Tale, r 2
Over the hump day,,,, soo glad to c this day back in my working days.
Did 3 longggg updates today, took a lot of time. one was firefox 4, a windows security thing, and something else. have auto updates so i get notified when there r some to do. and i do em. i think i like ff4, pretty cool. havent checked it all out yet, but what ive seen, i like. while that was all updating, i watched the rest of "dancing" i had recorded. like to watch some of those that way, so i can skip all the ads. the actual show is about a 1/4 of the 2 hours u record. the more popular the show, the more ads. Buttttt,,,,tonite i WILL be watching IDOL!! ads n all. lolol dont know what im gonna do about my 4 favs, how can i choose? o well, thats down the road a bit. 1st place, casey, then james, scotty, n pia. yall vote, u hear. will be recording the sitcoms on abc to watch later, too. on fri thru sun, NOTHING on.
Gosh hated to hear that liz had died today. was always one of my favs.
I did remember to go out last nite and spray that yellow jacket nest. Just had 1 on it, but it wont be back! ill check it out later to c if there r any more, dont think so. they go to "roost" like birds for the nite, so i guess that nest just had the 1.
ummm ummm, love those deviled eggs. got a craving about 2 weeks ago, and im still eating em. have yall tried the new hot dogs sonic has? i got a new york one yesterday, was pretty good. had a spicy mustard, sauerkraut, and maybe relish on it. dont remember the others, but one was still the chili cheese one.
took some old bread out to the park yesterday to feed the geese, but just 2 were there. lol,,, they usually come when they hear my car, knowing i might feed them. a big rock out in the river was covered with turtles!!! solid. lmao,,,why i dont fish out there. i was fishing one time, just below the dam here in town. there were several men sitting up on the dam, but i went to the rocks below. had a hit, and ended up catching a gar, could c all those men laughing, thinking i didnt know what to do. ha ha!!, i cut my line, (had swallowed the hook) threw that thing behind me, put a new hook on, rebaited and back out it went. they didnt laugh any more!! my dad raised us right! also, u cleaned what u caught too. i could clean one as fast as anybody. my mom n i went out to a stocked tank one time, took our small kids with us. when my youngest noticed how big the fish were, he stood braced as long as his line was out,hahahaha, didnt want those things to pull HIM in. dad had made the comment,, ill clean all yall catch. hahahahaha,,,,we had to quit, had so many, got back, told him,,well, here they r... cya later. he didnt say a word, just got to cleaning. lost my wedding ring on that trip,,a big wide band, went back looking 3 times, never did find it. we even looked in the fish we took home. i was really thin and it had gotten too big, and would slide off. think it went out with a cast.
still miss my dad, especially at this time of year. hed call, say, lets go fishing, and off wed go. dont think we ever caught anything, but sure enjoyed it.
yall tc now, ya hear

took some old bread out to the park yesterday to feed the geese, but just 2 were there. lol,,, they usually come when they hear my car, knowing i might feed them. a big rock out in the river was covered with turtles!!! solid. lmao,,,why i dont fish out there. i was fishing one time, just below the dam here in town. there were several men sitting up on the dam, but i went to the rocks below. had a hit, and ended up catching a gar, could c all those men laughing, thinking i didnt know what to do. ha ha!!, i cut my line, (had swallowed the hook) threw that thing behind me, put a new hook on, rebaited and back out it went. they didnt laugh any more!! my dad raised us right! also, u cleaned what u caught too. i could clean one as fast as anybody. my mom n i went out to a stocked tank one time, took our small kids with us. when my youngest noticed how big the fish were, he stood braced as long as his line was out,hahahaha, didnt want those things to pull HIM in. dad had made the comment,, ill clean all yall catch. hahahahaha,,,,we had to quit, had so many, got back, told him,,well, here they r... cya later. he didnt say a word, just got to cleaning. lost my wedding ring on that trip,,a big wide band, went back looking 3 times, never did find it. we even looked in the fish we took home. i was really thin and it had gotten too big, and would slide off. think it went out with a cast.
still miss my dad, especially at this time of year. hed call, say, lets go fishing, and off wed go. dont think we ever caught anything, but sure enjoyed it.
yall tc now, ya hear

ramblings today
I guess, as usual, Mondays wear me out, dont get this done when i get home, after doing the respite thing. Yesterday, i plopped down in my chair, kicked back, and napped for about 30 mins. Nothing gets done after lunch time, was always this way. If it wasnt done in the morning, it just wasnt done. Even when i had to get to work by 8 am, i got most housework done before i left, could buzz thru in record time, lol. Those jobs, bookkeeping and insurance clerk, were desk jobs, so i could fake it when i had to. After my first divorce, when i started going out on wed, ladies nite at the club, fri, and sat, i had to do a lot of faking it. Now, that doesnt mean i didnt get my work done, cause i always did that. And i always was there on time too. Later, when i got into home health care, my favorite of all, i could take my time getting there, the ladies understood. i was there with them 5 days a week, so everything got done, no matter what. there were 3 r 4 a day to divide my time with. Later, when i went back as a special attendant, i did a lot of driving, but was paid mileage and driving time. i drove to different places every day, over a 3 county area, and sometimes, even more than that.
During those years, for a few months, i had to see a man that weighed 600 lbs!!!, had to give him a bed bath, but he had bars to hold and could turn himself over. the health agency i worked for finally found a nursing home that could handle him and he was put into it, but by then he had gained up to around 700 lbs. hed ask me to go pick him up a bag of burgers n fries, saying it was for him and his 2 nieces living close by, but u knew it was all for him. was nothing i could do and my supervisors agreed. A nurse came by every day and dressed the wounds on his legs caused by his weight. Our dear old government supported him for being overweight!!!! there were lots that did deserve help, but then there were lots that i consider a total rip off. and YES,,,,,,,, needs fixing!!!!!!
Was sent by to see one that lived about 2 blocks from me, and i noticed her papers still in the yard, and mail still in the box. she didnt lock her doors, so i opened it and called out, and her son was in a chair and started twisting and turning, had md really bad. i could hear her, and went that way, found her laying on the floor in the bath room. OMG,,, had been there 2 r 3 days, son trapped in chair. her older son lived a block away, drove by every day and DIDNT EVEN CHECK ON HER. i had seen that he was home, so i called and he came, but couldnt get her up, ended up calling ems, and while that was going on, i fed the son, then bathed and cleaned him up while they took care of her. she was in the hospital 2 weeks, then went into a nursing home, and her son too, in another town where her dotter worked in it. she was getting alzheimers too, and cooked him the same thing every meal, and when i checked her refrigerator, lots of ruined chicken she would use sometimes. gosh, still makes me want to cry. her son could see the lite on in the house, the papers laying out there. just cant imagine a thing like that. when my mom got bad, was living alone, there were 5 of us, and each one of us went by every day, at different times, to help and take care of her. when she did go into the nursing home, her choice, she lasted about 2 weeks, but we all still went by every day.
lolol nearly noon and i havent even got dressed. robe feels good, still kinda cool in the mornings. got all day.
got my raid sitting by my back door, saw yellow jackets building a nest out by my car. just waiting to sting me. gotta wait til dark tho, wanna get every ONE OF THEM. seems to be more of em this year. do yall think so too?
gonna close up and find something to eat. might just make some oatmeal with raisens.
