Did You See Him?

Did i see Hobojoe???? Sneaked in to BBs blog! THEN, didn't do a post on his! OMG,,just don't know what to think!

Supposed to have big rains the next 2 days. HUH!,,I just looked and it's all over to the E, map showing big rains THERE, in places. Austin just had some hail. That's what made me look, to see where we stood. No worries. It is cloudy, cooler.

Guess what i found in my pantry,,,hahahahaha,,,Don't know why i didn't look at it when i went thru the pantry before. It's a box of cake mix,,,expiration date,,,9-00. hahahahaha,,,I don't have very many boxes any more. lololol. And that pancake mix i used today,,,gone! It wasn't out of date, just horrible tasting. YUK,,,I will get to the store today for waffles. (I'm out). Out of milk too. The $store might have those.

I'm still walking, did a little more yesterday, i think. Gonna have to start wearing my monitor. Hope there's not a minimum,,,hahahahaha. Maybe these shoes that rock and roll, are the difference. Can barely stand in them,, make me stagger. lololol. I can just see trying to explain that to a cop! Hey officer, it's my shoes. Bet that's a new one.

Seems my posts are getting shorter all the time. Don't want to quit doing dailys tho. Even if they're short. Just nothing to say. Same ol, Same ol,,, Maybe it'll get better. For all of us that seem to be stuck in a rut.

So,,yall tc,

I Did It!!!

Just before the kids showed up with supper,,kids,,lol,,, i somehow did something,,that saved all the 2011 blogs to documents, then i put them on a flash drive! It looked like it had just saved a little over a month of them, but,,,you can clic on the links and go to ALL of them. Comments too! I think it took all of 2 seconds. I showed the kids, so they would know that little fd had like,,my journal for the whole year. This beats a book, and those little fds don't cost much now.

BB, got your email this morning, after the fact, but TYTYTY. I can't believe how much help i get with things on these blogs. Another thing was using metallic blinds on my new metal door. I had never heard of them, and seems no one else i know here, had either. Even the men that put them on. I looked and even Walmart had metallic curtain rods, etc,,,too. And another thing,,BB,,my son loved your ideas for that gate!!! hahahaha,,Even mine, putting glue in that lock. lololol...Think he might have done just that,,,later. He was sure laughing about it.

I sure hated to read DDs blog today. But i know how he feels, these take a lot of time. (Which i have, but others might not). And i type FAST...lololol. My boss bought a throw away ribbon for MY typewriter one time,,you got to the end, threw it away,,WELLL,,I hated that thing, chewed him out for messing with MY typewriter. I would be right in the middle of something and have to change that **^^%!#^# ribbon. Also, i could type faster than it could move. So a lot of letters hit blank spots. I never let the word,,boss,,,mean anything to me. You ASKED me to do something,,,NEVER ordered!!,,Better even say,,,"pretty please",,,hahahahaha,,,not really.

My son and gf stayed til after 9;30 last nite, and by the time i got to bed, i couldn't go to sleep again. So i'm double tired today. Doesn't matter, i'll nap later. Nothing going on today,,,lolol,,like there ever is,,Well, sometimes i guess. After they left, i turned the tv on, and the game was over, but then the post game came on, so i gave up on watching Idol,,,Haven't figured out WHY it was on that late, and on Sun,,,anyway. Couldn't record it, didn't know the times. I can watch it on this,,later. Have to do that sometimes when i miss a show i wanted to see. OMG,,Steven Tyler sang for it! lmaoooo. Saw that on the Today show this morning.

OK,,yall,,,tc, and

Too Tired to Think

Well, i got some research done about the rivers, access  , and the way i read it, it's illegal to block a public access,,,and a city street is public access.  Printed out some of the reports, just to show in case it's needed.  We want to get others to sign a request for taking that gate down, and that won't be hard...NO ONE knew or wanted that done!  That lock needs some glue in it. hahahaha

Talked to sis N,,and they were into a really bad job.  LOLOLOL,,,Had a dead skunk under the house, all swollen up and putrid, to get out.  Had been under there about a week, she thot.  She said it had porcupine quills in it, so that was wy it sprayed at the end of the house, about a week ago.  She has no idea how it got under the house.  She thot it was skunk proofed a few years ago, when she kept having families living under there.  I'm not gonna let her know how funny i think it is,,,,hahahaha.

My son called just a minute after i got up, asking if he and his gf could come by and make supper,,,WOW,,,sure don't need to ask, far as i'm concerned!,,,I don't know what, didn't ask, doesn't matter.  So they'll be around later, and i'm gonna get a nap in,,couldn't go to sleep last nite, so,,,nap time today.

I still haven't figured out how to save my blogs.  Emailed blogger help, and someone said to go to settings, export,,etc.  BUT, it's gibberish.  lol.  Then sometimes,,it just saves one.  Sure would like to do this, but,,gonna take time, i guess, to figure out how.  That other thing i downloaded, HTTrack, i had to take off.  It wouldnt' work either, or it was me, not able to make it.  Anybody got any ideas?

Might not ever get this done.  Might just be short,,er,,,today.  I've been up and down, doing a few things, like, a load of laundry, using my floor sweeper, and tried to nap a little.  Think i'll call it a day, here.  Yall tc, and

Don't Know How to be OLD

Got my Schwan's order a bit ago.  Will have something from it, for supper.  I have a choice of pizza, or lasanga.  Sound good?

My bro G came by and we discussed what all we need to do about getting that street opened back up.  I talked to a friend that is on the city council, and she told me kinda what we needed to do,,,and in her words,,,"make us look like fools,,,",,,hahahaha.  They listened to one man, and then let him put a gate across this street, all in the same meeting!!!  No posting, no notifying to neighbors,,,US, ,,,just did it all in that one meeting.  That street is the only access to the river below the dam on this side.  I'm going to check to see if it was even legal to do that.  The man did it because of so much vandalism there.  WELL,,, put the dang city cops to work, doing their job!!!  Gonna be hell to pay,,,when we get thru....lololol.  Let him fence his OWN property, not close a city street.  Come to find out,,,the street isn't in the right place,,,it actually needs to go thru a barn he built down there.  hahahaha.  So,, take the gate down, or move the barn!

I read these other blogs,,,like climbing ladders,,cleaning vehicles,,,etc and how much it does to our bodies.   lolol...I don't know how to be OLD!  Can anyone tell me?  If i get down on the floor, how do i get up?  I did that yesterday,,,loolol,,,but,,i did get up.  When i moved some stuff to vacuum,,YEAH I DID,,,i pulled out the plug for the verizon wire.  Didn't know it til later, and that's when i had to get on the floor.  Finally got everything back right.  And up.  lololol.

When i walked yesterday, i went quite a bit further.  Surprised even me.  Sometimes you need to take a day of rest, like i did the day before.  Maybe that's something we learn,,,getting old,,,hahahaha.  I'm even kinda getting to LIKE it. The walking, NOT the other.   I've had to make myself do all this stuff, like the raising myself up and down from a sitting position,,,after i realized if i didn't use it, i would lose it.  And,,at this age, "lose it" takes on a whole new meaning,,,,, So kinda liking the walking is GOOD.  Anybody have any good ideas on this?  Be glad to hear some.

Gosh, didn't think i had anything to say,,,just goes to show,,huh,,,yall tc and

OMG,,,Forgot it is Friday,,,lololol

My friend Sue called and invited me for supper yesterday.,,,And OMG,,it was so good, my mouth still waters just thinking about it. Grilled steaks, baked taters, and all the other fixings. I had craved steak for a long time, not knowing if i could eat it or not. Hadn't been able to the last time i had tried. Can't chew it enough to work with the band. But,,,this was fine. I took one of the thin ones,,,think that made it ok. Sue was ok with it too. Her band is tighter than mine. Brought home leftovers, from my plate, for lunch today. yummmm.

Saw a comment on another blog about neuropathy in the feet, and i have that. NOT to the extent i can't wear socks, but my feet hurt mostly at nite when i go to bed. In the last few weeks, i've figured out that if i stick them out from under the covers, in the cold,,they quit. lolol. Neuropathy causes the nerves to make the bottom of your feet burn, and sometimes shooting pains. Well, the cold makes that burning stop. Without having to take a pain pill. Wearing those diabetic shoes on the trip to Austin, all day, had made them hurt so bad, they are still sore. Not going to wear those any more. I tried some others yesterday, and they are fine. I was way too tired tho, to do my walking. BTW i take neurontin for it, have for several years. Is it helping?,,,Who knows, haven't done without it.

I'm doing this in Chrome, with the old blogger format. But,,it's different. I sure don't like the new one. I downloaded this HTTrack, so i could make copies of my blogs,,all of em. but,,omg,,,don't think i'll ever understand how to do it. I wanted to put them on a flash drive or a cd, but,,have to get them into that first. I'll look at it again,,later, to see if i can maybe understand how to use it. If anybody knows how, or does it, let me know. I know i can have em made into a book, thru blogger, but,,,,,would cost a lot to get em all. This way, would be just as good.

Have yall realized Jan. is nearly gone!!!,,,I'm still amazed how fast time goes. LOLOLOL,,,i might make it to 80 yet!!! hahahahaha Just turn around a few times,,,be there,,,,hahahaha....

Do you know, i haven't even gotten into the shower YET!,,,And i did eat those leftovers, and YES,,,,they were soooo goood. Still thinking about that vacuuming,,,,gonna be walking on a carpet of cat hair if i don't use it soon. Jude gets in front of the heater, does all his cleaning,,pulling hair out,,,etc. Saw a puff of it in there earlier. Ok,,enough,,things to do,,,(or think,,,hehehe),,,yall tc,,and

Monday Blues, on Thursday,,,

Hmmm,,, i just DON"T like this new blogger get up.  Looks horrible for one thing.  All white and lite blue.

Went in to use the desk top earlier, and found out i had never put google chrome on, nor taken firefox off.  So that's what i'm doing in there,,  I couldn't get my printer to work from my laptop, had to go use that one.  I was trying to do a prntscr, and never could get it to work.  When i turn the desktop on, i always find lots to do with it.  Updating mainly.  Still got those going.  I really like sitting in that room better, lots of windows to see out of.  But the room is colder, or hotter, than the others.  Won't matter today!!,,,Springtime is here. lololol.

Got it done, and put blogger on the old option.  Got to do this one too.

I'm still tired, and didn't sleep again, last nite, til well after midnite.    So it's a do-nuttin day, too, BB.  Got a good book, good chair,,all i need.

I've been laughing since i read HJs heading on his blog,,,hahahahaha,,talking about Hand Jobs,,  hey HJ,,,didn't you mean,,,Hand Jive?  hahahahaha,,,loved the pics,
 have seen em before, but been a long time.  Zipping it, now,,,hahahahaha.

Got kicked out of a game site,,one time,,,cause i said something,,,Had to sneak back in with another nic,,,and keep my mouth shut.  lolol  OOOO,,,make that 2!!  Didn't want to go back to that other one,,tho,  I told em they sucked.  I was banned for 10,000 days,,,hahahaha,,,You had to pay to use that one, so ,,,,

Ok,,mind's a blank, so yall tc, and

Recuperating Today

Made it fine yesterday,,,,but my feet hurt a lot later.  Not from walking either, from wearing shoes.  What am i gonna do? lolol,,, and these are diabetic shoes at that.  The 2 pair i wear make the balls of my feet hurt, then my whole foot gets sore.  It feels like there's no padding there.  Even sitting, like most of the day, makes them hurt, if i have the shoes on.  I'm gonna try another shoe today, see if that makes a difference.

I just joined the Schwan's pool,,,for home delivery.  Somewhere a few days ago, i picked up one of their little catalogs, and found a few things i'm gonna try.  Prices weren't as bad as i had thot they would be.  Years, (and years) ago,,,when they first started this, i used them quite a lot.  The prices kept going up, so i finally just stopped.  They were the ones  that had the first chicken strips, and i bought em in a big 5lb bag.  Gosh we loved em, made a quick meal, and weren't high at that time.  I'll let you know what i think about the small pizzas, and the lasagna i ordered.

I went ahead and let the Doc put in 1/4cc fill in the band yesterday, and he was wanting to put in a 1/2.  BUT,,i remembered how bad the 1cc was, so i thot the 1/2 would still be bad too.  And i was right, the 1/4 is ok,  but i had bad indigestion last nite after i went to bed, (LOLOLOL,,,besides my feet hurting) that i finally just got up, took an aleve, 2 tums,,read for a while.  I just don't think this is going to work.  With this 1/4cc, it's not at the "right" place, and my body won't handle what it would take to get there.  Got 2 months to decide what to do.  O yeah, i haven't gained any, since Oct.  He was trying to tell me,,that as i lost weight, i could have more put in, but,,,it still won't ever be to the right place.

Going off with these 2 others, is a load of laughs all day.  The doc's nurse said she didn't know what she was gonna do with us,,,hahahahaha.  I blamed THEM for going to the Red Lobster to eat,,,,Then Sue told her, NOOOO WAY,,i had said even if i wasn't gonna get fills any more, i still wanted to go, just to eat there.  (we're not supposed to eat like that,,,,hahahahah)  And,, we laughed most of the way down there, about something i had heard ON THE SCANNER, a few days ago...And this did happen.  Some man called in, said his penis was cut and bleeding bad.  WELL,,,WE wanted to know HOW< WHERE< WHEN< WHO<,,,hahahahaha.  We found out,,,,LMAO,,,like Sue told the Doc,,,he was pleasuring himself, and stuck a rod up it,,,twisting and turning,,and it had sharp edges!!  Can you imagine????,,,Anyway,,,we KNOW it's not really FUNNY,,, but,,,it is.  We still don't know Who.  But,,we have connections,,,hahahahaaa.....

DD, that sculpter came here quite a bit, to get granite.  You would never have known what he could do, nor how famous he was.  And i think more so now.  Cause this was back in the 80s.  I worked as BK at our granite company for about 8 years, learned just about everything about it too.  My boss had pics of some of his work, and i was amazed.  He was getting granite for something for the capital, in Austin, the first time, i think.

Somewhere along those years, the manager started doing business with some Indians,  for India granite.  The black was so beautiful.  Well, one time someone wanted a statue of the state of TX, so i called them, in their office in CA, to get a quote of that in the black.  I told em the dimensions, and to be cut like the state of TX,,,AND he said,,,,,,WHAT'S THAT???? hahahahahaha  I had to fax pic.  Put me in my place,,,i thot the whole world knew what TX was!!! hahahahah  Like,,one time in order to figure the freight, i asked this man where Utah was,,,at least he laughed,,asked where Tx was.  It was just one small marker, and i couldn't see how it was worth it.

Hey, lunch time,,yall tc, and
