BOOOOOO

Well, here it is,,,and here i still sit,,lol, almost noon, and i still haven't done a shower, and need to do a load of laundry.  I DO have my oatmeal cooked, waiting on it to cool a little.  And, i DO have my dishes done,,,lolololol. 

All i'm seeing today, is,,,,it's halloween.  I don't do anything any more.  Last time i had candy for kids, no one came by, so that ended that right quick.  I live here in a neighborhood that's not populated enough for a lot of kids to come by, so that's fine with me.  But, not even my little nieces and nephews came by that year, and that's who i had thot would.  I don't get out on halloween, too many little ones running around in the dark, and there's one street i would NEVER go down, if i did.  The last time i did, it took me a LONG time to get out of all that, and get over to another street i could make my way home on.

I wish i had put off my eye exam, don't want to do it tomorrow.  I think they are still the same, no change.  And i hate to have them dilated.  Since i already have the apt, i'll go and get it over with, but sure wish i didn't have to. 

Weatherman saying probably no rain with the next front Wed. nite.  Maybe you'll get some DD.  It does show rain down ur way.

Ok,,i'm outa here, rambled around long enough.

Gotta Eat ,,,,, Something

Wish something sounded good to eat.  Guess i got off on that this morning when i had to eat waffles, instead of oatmeal, when oatmeal was what i wanted.  The pan i cook it in, needed washing, so,,i just did waffles instead.  My bro had given me some sirloin he grilled, and i ate that for supper, but,,,just was NOT quite tender enough.  I didn't eat all of it, so i had left the pan to heat it up later.  O well, the rest is going out,  since warming it up, had taken all the juice out of it,,, left it not good.   Just doesn't pay for one person to cook.  Got stuff in my freezer, and gosh, if i cook some of that, i have to add sides.  lol,,,i really do need to cook some shrimp i have.  I even have FF too.  And i keep a carton of potato salad.  OOOO YEAH,,, i could heat up some of that ham.  hmmmm, think i just might do that.  OK,,,bbl.

What do Yall Think?

http://www.statesman.com/news/local/guns-and-religion-meet-ignorance-intolerance-1939642.html

Heard a little about this yesterday on a couple of Austin news channels.  lololol.   I LOVE IT!!!  Crockett Keller needs to be in this movement going on now.  hahahahaha.  Mason is just a bit West of here, like,,34 miles.  Gosh, we'll probably have all kinds of movements moving in here now.  OMG,,,sooo freaking funny.  I wanna meet the man, shake his hand.  If i could get under that 10 gallon hat he wears, just might give him a peck on the cheek.  He has definitely opened a can of worms.  

 Wish i could remember the story, happened like back in the 70s, when the sheriff over there supposedly died of suicide, and was buried.  For some reason, later, he was dug up and found to have  3 gunshots in the back!!!  This is a true story.  My mom-n-law lived there at the time.  If i can find out some time, i'll put it on.  Talk about red necks,,,,, lmaoooo.  Or,,still living with western justice.

Went over to my bro's house yesterday, and right there on their table, was this brand new blood pressure monitoring thing, still in the box.  I picked it up, saying something like, when did u get this, and he said they had picked it up at Walmart earlier.  I said,,, JUST TAKE THAT THANG BACK, THAT'S WHAT I'M GIVING YOU FOR CHRISTMAS!!!!  hahahahaha,,,He'll like mine better, it's the kind that goes on ur wrist.  He laughed and said, ok,,,then!   So, this order came in today, and i'm just gonna take it on over to him, since i had to tell him. lololol.  He might want to check his BP before Christmas.  He's never had high, but he was real dizzy one morning, and thot that might be it.  I get that way, and nothing i've checked, is wrong.  Like blood sugar, BP, blood oxygen, nothing.  Don't have any idea what could cause that.  He's the same way.

My son came by last nite, and i found out he had been bitten by one of his cats, BAD, on his forearm, to the bone, and the hand,  and had had a bad time with it.  It was one they have had for 11 years, and she was outside, watching a stray cat.  He said her name, and reached to pick her up, and she turned and wrapped around his arm.  He had to pry her mouth open.  He knew how bad it was, but made it til the next morning to see the doc, who wanted to put him in the hospital.  With no insurance, they worked it out, for him to go by twice a day and get the antibiotics thru a stint. and twice a day he soaks in Epsom salts.  Yesterday was the first day it had actually shown improvement.  OO MERCY.   He was thankful that it wasn't on a weekend, like normal for him.  He's taking some high powered stuff, said he didn't know it was made that strong.  This is the one that should have had "accident' for his middle name.  This is the one that fell from the 40 foot building, after he climbed the corner, and when he started down, one of the rocks broke.  I could go on and on.  I think that fall jammed his spine and caused all his back problems for then on,,,he was about 19 at the time.  It did break both ankles, one bad.

Ok,,off that.  Way too much to ever get down.    He's kept count of his stitches, and it's over a 1000.  lolol,,,i don't want to know.  When he was a kid, i started just doing butterflies, so he missed a lot.

Gosh, it's nearly 3 pm,,,gotta make a move.

Blogger's Block

Yall all talking about nothing to say, and here i am,,,,nothing to say. 

I close my bedroom off, never, well rarely, use heat back there, so last nite about 8 pm,, here i am putting my electric blanket on!,,,I just use it to heat the bed before i get in, turn it off to sleep.  But,,,i have a warm bed to get into.  After laying there a while, i ended up getting up and turning my fan on.  lololol,,,now,,,i can get to sleep.  And,,i did.  Was up my regular 3 or 4 times,,but that's always the case.  Wake up, with my mouth so dry, i have to get up for a drink, and by then have to go too. 

When i was awake about 1 am,,i heard a tone go off for the ambulance here in town.  After no answer they retoned,,,then,,,later did it again.  That's 3 times by now.  After a couple of minutes, a woman finally answers.  Took 10 or 12 minutes to get on the way, and it just had to go about 3 blocks.  I'm horrified.  If that had happened 3 years ago when i had to call for one, i wouldn't have made it.  I got into the emergency room with the doctor, before i quit breathing.  A delay of 10 minutes wouldn't have let that happen.  Back during the early summer, one was called just out to the park, a man had fallen off a horse.  Same thing happened,, no answer, and a delay of about the same amount of time.  Well, that man died because of no help in time.  I think there's a lot of people concerned about this, but don't know what they're doing.  My bro, G, has brought it up at the fireman's meetings, and being ems, maybe that will help.

I need to be getting in the shower, but,,,,here i am,,,blogging,,,lolololol.  I have to read all of em first, before i do mine.  A lot of times, i get an idea from one of the others, for  mine.  That was it today, nothing to talk about. hahahahaha,,,

It's Friday, whatever that means, anymore.  Used to mean, party time!  Party time now is ,,,,what movie to watch tonite.  Haven't checked the tv schedule yet, might be something on,,,

Ok,,outa nothings to say,,,so,,,yall HAGD

How Can it be Thursday?

Here it is, cloudy, cool, not very windy, but that bean soup is calling me.  I had waffles a bit ago, so the soup is next on my list.  Got a 2 pm apt to see my doc for a follow up, but i'm feeling fine now.  Mammogram was good.  So i think i'm about good to go for another year.  Well, after the eye check up Tues.

I get so lost on days, dates, now.  Where has this week gone?  I missed over the hump day.  Why?  I don't do anything, lol, except keep up with appointments!  So how does the time get away?   I even have  gadgets on this screen telling me the date, day, time.  Also have lots of sticky notes up, lined up in order to be done.  What and how, did i ever do without them?  Windows 7 has them and that's when i started using them, after i got that.   Got started yesterday on cleaning up my desk top,,,OMG,,it's so slow, needed a lot!  You wouldn't believe the defrag i had to do.  lmao,,took forever.  Put that Smart defrag on, with some of the extras, and got lots of clean up done.  Working a lot!!! better now.  Sometimes i have to use it, and then i have to wait for updates to do, then take forever.  So the time was well spent.  I like where it is, in an extra room at the front of my house, with windows all around.  I like windows, lots of em, and always have them so i can see out.  For years and years, every house i have owned, i have put on window film that insulates, and looks like a mirror during the day, can't see in.  Reverses at nite, but that's ok, close blinds then.  My cats learned that when they heard a thump, it was a bird that had hit a window, and would be stunned on the ground.  Bad as i hated that, nothing i could do. 

While my nephew was painting last week end, my bro, his dad, finished up the window washing for me.  I found that windex stuff u screw onto the end of a hose, that you set to clean, rinse, and off.  Have used it for years.  My bro was very impressed, gonna get some for himself.  It dries spot free too.  My windows look GREAT now.  And i haven't even cleaned the insides yet.  It works thru your screens, cleans them too.  Do i sound like an ad? hahahaha,,,Sometimes you just find a product that is really good, like this is.

Wish it was raining.  Don't think we are gonna get any.  Gosh, love this weather.  Nice and cozy inside, no HOT sun coming in.  I'm soooo ready for this.  I always loved to drive in this kind of weather.  My x b/f and i would just take off, going just where ever, mainly South.  No bars North, lololol.  I drove, because i felt safer, lololol.  In all the years i drank and drove, i never got a dwi.  Had a guardian angel.  Did i ever tell you the story of stopping at this little building out in nowhere,,,on the side of the highway, because i thot it had to be a bar because of the way the suburban pulled out, and drove away?    Well, we pulled in, there were maybe 1 or 2 cars there, and here we went inside.  OO NOOO.  We knew we were in the wrong place, when we stopped at the bar, and ordered beers, and she had to get an interpreter to come up and help.  There were about 20 in there, sitting there staring at us.  OMG,,a wet back bar!!!...We took our beers, went to a table, got about 1/2 of them down, and left.  Everybody was still sitting there, staring at us!  Got on down the road about 30 minutes, to the next one, and getting out, i realized i had left  my purse back there.  Nothing to do, but get right back in and go back again.  Pulled in, went to the bar, asked if anybody had turned in a purse, wait, get the interpreter again, and in the meantime, i happened to look over, and WOW, there was my purse, still at the table, in the chair, not touched. OMG..I go over and grab it, and we are out of there!!!  It had been there over an hour, not even touched.  I told him,,,someday we can laugh about this.  hahahaha,,Sure wasn't funny at the time. lmaooo.  We liked to hang out at Luckenbach, too, then there was Harry's on the Loop, at Willow City.  Both out of the way places, lots of people doing the same.  Quit all that about 10 or 11 years ago.  Just got up one day, couldn't swallow that beer any more.  Quit him too.

Cooking Disaster

OK yall, BBs missing!!!  And so is Hobo!.  Think Pesky Wayne beat him in Golf, and now he won't show his face?  Or mabye it made him sick?  Hobo's probably hung up in the walls, or ceilings, or something, going nuts there.  Getting any better yet, Hobo? 

Darn it!!,,,Put a 16 bean soup on last nite, in my crock pot, and yummmm,,,looking good today.  So,,i get out my last corn bread mix,,and it says,,better if used by,,,u know,,,but this said,,,Jan 11.  Well, heck,,i thot surely it'll work,,,won't it?,,so,,I just took it out of my, what i told yall i used every day, toaster oven, and that stuff is flatter than a flitter!,,,Now ,,that means i can't eat til i go to the store, get some more mixes, and cook another one!,,I like the Martha White in the yellow bags.  Lots better than what i could make from scratch.  Don't like the ones in the boxes, they're sweet.  So, i went ahead and ate my oatmeal, meaning now i have some time to get that other done.  Yall ever noticed u can't buy cornbread anywhere, not even in the freezer depts?  You have to MAKE it. 


Might nibble a bite, see if it might be thin and eatable,,,lololol.  I do like thinner better.  But this ,,,lol.

Gonna take my friend Sue some of the bean soup.  She said she had never tried it before.  But, i WON"T take any of that cornbread! hahahaha.  She's a great cook, not gonna show her mine.

Guess who's getting that cornbread,,,they live out at the park...

O yeah, i forgot i have part of that chicken breast left from supper.  Can't eat a whole one any more.  So i get the snack pack, and have 2 meals.  Can't beat that.  I keep a container of potato salad handy, so i can make a meal fairly easy.  I can get one side with the snack pack, so been getting cole slaw.  Don't know why i can eat that, and can't eat salads, but i can.  It's the lettuce i can't eat.  I love cabbage, and i have a recipe for a cabbage casserole, easy and delicious.

I cook about 1/2 head of cabbage or more,,and separately, cook sliced potatoes with an onion, in small amount of oil, with a lid, slow. Add to drained cabbage, then add a link of smoked sausage, cut into small bites.  Ta da,,,there u have it.  Quick and easy, and delicious.  Now i'm hungry for cabbage!  Forget that bean soup!! hahahaha.

Well, made myself get dressed, and dropped off my friend the bean soup, then got the mixes, .,Heard the phone ringing, getting out of the car.  It was her, told me she took one bite, just to taste it, ended up eating 1/2, even cold.  She gave me makings for a bar b q bun, and got home and put one mix in the oven,,,aaaa,,,gainnnn.  Has a date of 6-12.  Better be good.

This bean soup will be sooo good tomorrow, with rain, cold, wind.  Usually, for years, have made chili, or stew.  Gonna add bean soup now.  Got a huge choice to make,,,HELP yall!!!,,, 3 choices for my next meal,,,leftover chicken/potato salad, bar b q bun, bean soup/cornbread.   That smell might help decide,,,(cornbread cooking).

Torture Over With

That torture wasn't tooo bad.  The best thing was i didn't have to sit and wait, they got me right in at the appointed time!  How bout that?  15 minutes and i was outa there.  I had put my cooking oil out so i wouldn't forget about the pond, so when i got back, i put some in it.  That thing has about 8 or 10" of water in it!  Wonder if my frog still lives in the waterfall. 

One time when it had rained and was washing down the gutters,  there were all these little frogs running around!  Where did they come from?  It was like they had just appeared, about a 1/2" long, out of nowhere.  Lol,,how was that possible?  I tried to catch a few to put over at my pond, but, man,,,those little suckers were fast!  But i guess some did make it, because i did have some really big ones.  When i would go out, i'd hear a loud splash.  I had some kind of lilly plant in it, and one time when i cleaned it out, the roots had become HUGE.  I'm talking, big as my arm.  Took up all the space almost.  So i got rid of those.  All the things i had growing around it, have died.  It will just be there for the next owner.  lol. 

Ok, got the city called to pick up my brush trimmings.  They do that on Fridays, for about 10.00 each 15 mins.  Last time, was just the 10.00, but i have quite a lot, in 2 piles, but still a good price.  Can't burn them any more.  There will be more, later, but just some small stuff.  I seem to have some of that b brush popping up all over again.  I might put some diesel on it, where i can.  Had to do that with a tree growing in a bad place.  I've always heard of ranchers around here, oiling mesquite.  And burning cactus. 

Got my oatmeal cooked, and gosh, i'm ready.  Don't know why i stayed so hungry yesterday, but it seemed like i never was satisfied.  Made for a bad nite.  Kept eating, til almost bedtime, and that's not good.  I wasn't really hungry for any one thing, just felt empty. 

Weatherman saying a strong cold front coming in Wed. nite.  Might even rain a little.  Highs in the 60s thurs and fri.  Heck, i'm ready. 

DD brought up a subject i think all of us "senior" citizens have thot about.  What will become of our pets if they outlive us?  That is why i haven't taken any of my son's rescued kittens, and just have the one, Jude.  He's about 8 or 9 years old, and will outlive me probably.  Then, on the other side of this, i would absolutely hate to NOT have one.  I think surely my son or my dotter would take him.  My x is gonna have to take his Mother's really old cat now.  She died several years ago, but his stepfather doesn't have long to live.  So he's going to bring it home with him.  It's  like, 18 years old, and he doesn't know how it's going to work with his other cats.
