How Can Time Go So Fast?

I just shut my eyes, and another week is gone.  Then, a month,,whoa.  Is it the same with yall?

I have 4" of rain in my gauge today, and it says more coming again,,,hey bring it on!  Haven't asked G how much, but assuming he has 4.1.  Hahahahahaha...

I tried and tried to get a document on here yesterday.  I got on my desktop, and finally got it to open using something i downloaded to open files with, but, when i put it on here, it was tiny, and when i enlarged it, was blurry.  It was "What my Mama Taught Me".  The switch thing brought it back to mind.  I'm not gonna give up.  At least i found a way to open those files.  I think it was OF.  whatever that is.

I'm setting a record on swatting flies!!!  Those strips don't work at all.  WHERE ARE THEY COMING FROM?????  My door is rarely opened.  Think they're coming from Petespond?,,hahahahaha 

Got some hamburger thawing to make a meat loaf with.  Got hungry for one, then sis N said she was making one yesterday, soo, mine's on the way.  I can bake it in my toaster oven.  Won't bake anything in the large one,,,  I put some milk and an egg in it, besides all the other, and it's juicy.  Also had some bean soup left, thawing it too.  That and cornbread,,yummmmm.

Gosh,,,i think the post office held my mail for days.  I got a huge stack of catalogs yesterday.  It wouldn't bother me to have 5 day delivery,  about all i get is junk.  I'm doing most of my bills by draft online.  I look at them, then ok it to pay.

TV is worthless most of the time, then like tonite,, things overlap.  Gotta record one to watch tomorrow.  O yeah,,,About 7:45 my power went off, so i missed the rest of America's Got Talent.. Yeah,,it was off til 9.  That lightening was right here!  Lots of it.  Dotter said it hit a power pole there by her house, and it took them that long to fix it.  My power has gone off 4 times in the last couple of weeks.  Don't know what's going on. 

Got that meat loaf in the oven, killed 3 more flies, and one's still asking for it.  Yall tc, and

This is What MY Mother Taught Me,,,,

 

This is What MY Mother Taught Me,,,,

 

Just Nonsense Today

BB was talking about painting Sadie Mae's toenails...lol.  I did that one time on one of my siamese.  She kept nosing around getting in my way while i was doing mine,,soooo,,,she got HERS done..She did NOT like it, but from that day on, when i just opened the bottle, she was gone!  She also made a mad dash when i just turned on the bath, so i guess she had one before i bought her as an 8 week old kitten. 

She would be underfoot in the kitchen,,yowling,,so i got a water gun,,and ,,,one shot was all i ever got in...just squeezing that trigger,,,she was GONE...

She was a seal point,,black trim,,i call it.  Jumpy, skittish.  The lighter the points, the calmer the cats.  Frost points the calmest of all, no fear, laid back.  Jude is a red point,,,even tho it's yellow.  I raised them for years, but never fooled with papers, just sold them for a small bit of what they were worth.  BUT,,i was so picky.  The line i had were from some in Round Rock that won shows.  They were so unusual in looks and personalities, they were like no other cats.  Even my vet said they shouldn't be classified as cats...lol.  The last frost point i had, was the smartest cat i ever had, but for his dad.  When i moved one time, he was at my Mom's when i went to work, and he disappeared.  I know someone stole him.  He was at home there too. 

I lmao yesterday,,,when i called bro G and told him i had had 1 1/2" of rain,, and like clock work he said he had 1.6,,,hahahahaha,,he lives 1/2 a block from me.  I then had to call B and we both had our laugh of the day.  B had the same as me.   G  always bests us by that .1......hahahahaha...BTW, got another 1 1/2" later, 3" in it this morning.  More coming they say,,,,well, i say,,,bring it on!

Don't know what happened, but from one time to the next,,,getting up,,my feet quit hurting...  No pain when i walk..thank you God.

When that rain came late yesterday, i killed about 10 or 12 more flies in here!!!!  Where did they come from?  That strip has ONE on it today.  I even squished one on this screen, had to clean it.  Does ANYBODY know how i can get rid of them?  HELP!!!   I've never seen anything like this.  Swatted 3 or 4 today.  Is there fly bait, like roach bait?  These strips do not attract them like i thot they would.

On my ustream today,,,petespond,,i saw a herd of giraffs...This is the best one i've ever had on there.  Saw a herd of elephants a few days ago.  http://www.ustream.tv/petespond.,  So instead of just reading the paper with my coffee, i'm staring at this....lololol.  Check it out,,see what you think.

Out and About

Just got back from the grocery store, thinking i would get out before it got hot...HA...The temp isn't that bad,,,like 90, but still and sticky.  Getting ready to make more storms like yesterday,,, Had a really heavy one move thru here late yesterday, dumped 1 1/2" in about 30-45 mins.  AND... i got out in it.  I had gone to the shop where  my son was, and got caught there.  Got totally drenched getting to my car.  I was so wet, it was hard to get my clothes off when i got home,,they stuck to me....Good thing it was warm.  My son was drenched too, putting vehicles in.  Had to jump one off.  Tried to tell him it wasn't showing bad hail any more on the online weather.

Off my diet.  When i added back those few carbs,,i gained back a pound!!!  I give up.  My body doesn't want to operate on 30 carbs a day,,got too weak and unable to function.  But by adding 30 more,,,i gain a pound..

All that rain yesterday fell North, where it would end up in Lake Buchanan ..  Most of it.  The lake gets it from the Colorado, so maybe the rain this week will help.

There's still not one fly on the strip.  And one just buzzed by.

I couldn't sleep last nite,,,well, until after 4 am.  My feet were killing me.  I got up once and still don't know why i didn't take an aleve,,but,,a couple of hours later, i sure did.  Then it took another hour to work.  Nap coming up for sure.

Mind's gone blank,,yall tc and

Google Chrome

Since google chrome did all that updating and changing about,,what,,a month ago?,,i quit using it,,,went back to IE.  After getting answers about why couldn't i see rvsue's pics ,,, with IE,,i tried the chrome today, and it works.  One told me he could see them on IE,,like i USED to, but,,for some gawdawful reason,,it stopped loading them.  Sooo,,,moral of this story,,,if i want to see the pics, i have to open chrome.  So i guess i'll open it just for doing that one thing,, and shut it back down again.  I don't have any problems with any other pics on any other blogs.

DDs talking about Wampus Cat hunting,,,,when we were young, we went snipe hunting.  Never did find any,,,Got led around a lot of places,,but no snipes.  But i think i remember my Dad talking about those Wampus Cats,,,

I was watching something on TV earlier,,well, sorta, but it caught my attention.  I think it was Tx Parks and Wildlife,,and they're saying East TX has more black bears now.  Wonder if SS knows that?,,,,lol,,She was saying there's 5 acres behind their new house in Longview that's woods.  I talked to her yesterday and they did sell the house in Lake Worth, and will close on that one, and the new one in Aug.  Just in time to start their teaching jobs.  And i keep forgetting to ask,,what school will he be coaching at.  B told me there's 3 there. 

I just smeared some syrup on that fly strip,,, think that'll work?  Just a drop or 2....

Sitting here yawning,,think i'll go shut my eyes for a bit.  Yall tc, and

Wish I Had Something to Say

I think i'm still recovering from the San Antone trip.  Just not up to doing anything.

I did get some of those fly strips and hung one up, yesterday.  But,,i don't think it will work, seems to be nothing on it to attract the flys.  Am i supposed to add something?  I've never used them so i don't know.  The flys haven't even gotten near it.    With the outside traps, i had to add something.  Also, for the wasps traps too.

My g/dotter was telling me they had a mouse,,hahahaha, with 3 cats in the house too.  Her hubby tried to catch it and it got away,,,still in the house.  I told her if she'd come by i'd give her the 2 live traps, for mice, that i have.  She remembered them.  One time, i had set them and the next day i picked it up, opened it to see if a mouse was in it cause the door had shut,,and yep,,that mouse was out and gone, still in my house too.  lol,,Don't know why you'd carry one outside and turn it loose anyway, they will just come back in.  So, from then on, i set the snapping ones if necessary.  It's rare i have one tho.  Think i told you back somewhere in a blog,,the best mouse trap ever.  The 5 gallon bucket with bird feed in the bottom...Don't want that in the house tho.

My feet are still bothering me, just don't know what to do with them.  The left one still feels like i have a stone bruise on the heel.  Have to go in for my regular blood work by the end of the month, so i'll ask.  Maybe she can tell me without having to go to a foot doc.  Why don't we have general practitioners like we used to have, now?  They handled it all.  Mostly.  If they couldn't then they sent you to someone. 

I've got this one little cat fish of some kind in this thing in the house.  When i cleaned it out the last time, the rest of the fish died,,so i'm gonna put this one out in my pond and get rid of this thing.  It's a survivor so i think he will be fine.  Gonna try to do this today.

Well, yall tc and
