Just Hi and Bye today

Just not gonna be able to do much of a post today.  I spent most of the morning on J's medical coverage, and after talking to several people,,doing research online,,gonna go with pcip.gov plan.  It's just a couple of years old, and not many people have heard of it, but,,not much of a choice now, since he was turned down by Medicaid.  It was suggested thru a letter from SSI.  He fits the bill for sure...

I'm tired, so gonna have some late lunch, and then,,nap time.  Yall tc, and

Time for a New Chair

Strange,,,my page won't load.  Won't let me reply, won't show blogs i follow.  Think it has something to do with IE?  Hmmmm,,,think i'll check that out.  Yep,,guess that's it.  I keep getting pop ups saying i need to update IE,,But,,i have the latest one, so why?  I've tried running it, and it will stop and tell me that.

Well, we sure have the dog days back,,probably thru Aug.  I'm considering myself lucky to have had this summer cooler and wetter.  LOLOLOL,,,sure cost me in mowing.

I'm gonna go and check out new lazyboy chairs later.  There's nothing wrong with the one i have, just not comfortable for me.  I bought it because it didn't sit as low as my old one, easier to get out of.

Well, just got back and having that new chair delivered between 1 and 2.  I think i'm gonna love it.   Gosh,, need to remember to get my camera out of the car, i'll show you.  I had talked to J earlier and told him i was going there today about a chair,,and they were wanting a sofa or futon...i told him to check there.  While i'm waiting for the paperwork to get filled out,,she gets a call about a futon,,,lololol,,,wasn't him tho.  

So stupid,,i keep hearing about gun laws.  Don't they realize if someone had been carrying,,,that shooter in CO might have been stopped?  Thank God,,here in TX, we can.  Years ago,,in Killeen at a Luby's a gunman went in and started shooting.  This one woman had taken hers out of her purse, left it in the car because a sign said no fire arms.. Her parents were killed sitting there.  Amid others, don't remember how many now.  That was something she would have to live with the rest of her life.  IF she had left it in her purse, she could have shot the gunman.,,,,saved some lives.  If i had a permit, i would darn sure keep it with me, in this day and age, wouldn't you?  I just have my shot gun now, no hand gun.

Just got a call, they are bringing the chair,,yall tc, and

Back in the Future

I'm still watching Andy Griffith,, as long as they had Barney Fife on it,,it was good.  I remember the Apple Dumpling Gang,,  I thot that was one of the funniest movies ever.

We went to the theater to see Bonny and Clyde, had the kids with us, as usual.  When it started,, J leaned over and whispered,,,Mom,,that girl doesn't have any clothes on...( he was 5 or 6).  I ignored him...He leaned over again, and a little louder,,,said,,Mom,,that girl doesn't have any clothes on...And,,again,,hoping he wouldn't say any more,,,i ignored him..WELL the third time,,he yelled it!!!  Everybody in there burst out laughing.  I answered right quick then,,and he didn't say another word..,. Learned my lesson,,,lolololol.

Gosh, i remember when Star Wars came out, how amazing it was.  And that was just the start.  Jaws had the kids scared to get in the river,,,, (had gars).  I never tried to scare them, and explained how they made them seem scary. 

No plans ,,,HA,,,never is,,  Got a good book to read, my games on here, and Andy on tv,,,what more could i ask for?,,,

J and g/f have gone to Austin, her sister is there today, gonna give her a hair cut, maybe him too.  She's had a shop there forever, even tho she lives in N Houston.  And drives back and forth!!  Don't know why she's there today. 

Gotta find something for lunch,,yall tc, and

Liver and Onions,,yummmmmm

Sure enjoying my new digs.  And i sure enjoyed that supper yesterday.  I went into this restaurant intending to eat a breakfast, but,,it has a senior menu, AND that had liver and onions.  After some consideration,,,that's what i ordered.  Too much by 1/2 for a single meal, so i have another one for today.  It was so good, been a long time since i had that.  It was grilled, not smothered, but was still delicious.  Guess i was just hungry for it.

Never could stand that stuff, til one time in a Luby's in Austin, a friend ordered it, and,,all of a sudden,,it sounded sooo good.  And it was,,,i've eaten it since then.  One time, J and B came in late and raided the refrigerator, found some left over fried oysters,,,hahahahah,,,they thot,,chomped down on those chicken livers, spit em all over everything.  lmaoooo.  Another time,,,they found some chicken fried steak and ate it.  I told em,,there wasn't any in there, and they said yeah it was, it was way back behind a lot of stuff....OMG,,it had been in there for a LONG time.  They said they peeled off all that white stuff and ate it....didn't die...but,,from then on,,they asked how long for things they found. hahahahaha Boys!

Did yall know you can't get anything done on Saturdays, that have anything to do with government?  After fooling around for a LONG time with phone calls,,getting computers saying hours are,,,such and such,,i went online thinking,,this laptop doesn't know it's Saturday, but,,,i guess it did.  Was a dead end there too.  I was trying to look up, or find out, about the status of Js app for medical help.  They said 30 - 45 days, and it's been the 45 now.   The laptop says there isn't a case, so nothing's been done yet.  Put it all away and here i am,,doing this.

Kingsland has everybody on watch,,, all those fires were arson.  One whose house burned, told G that they were watching 3 older teens that were always at the fires, standing around watching.  I hear a lot of calls to check out suspicious people, mostly at nite, and mostly ones walking with backpacks,,  He told G they would go in and pile up some trash, set it on fire and leave...It would take a while to get going good, and by then they had been gone long enough.  This has been mostly empty places, except the Catholic church, and it didn't catch, just the weeds and they got put out before any harm done.  It had been set at the corner of the building.

After my man mowed,,it needs it again....I knew that because it was getting bad, before the rain quit.  I'm gonna let it go as long as i can tho.  Making up for last year,,,lol.  Need a Walter around,,Hey Ms B,,,can i borrow him?  Way back, in another house, my neighbor kept a barbado sheep in his back yard just for that,,and it worked too. 

Ok folks,,talked about that leftover stuff, got hungry,,yall tc, and

I've Moved,,,

Well, i have moved,,,from my dining room, into my living room...I realized i need to have windows to see out of,,not walls and a tv to stare at.  Now i have windows all around.  I used to see a lot of amazing things out my windows,,when i just had the desktop.  The pair of roadrunners were the BEST!  Watched them for years,,,then,,they just were gone.

Saw a fox go walking by, within 6 feet of me, going to my pond to drink.  I loved it.  My cats just sit there and watch, like they've seen it all the time.  lololol...probably have.  I watched the fox get plums off my tree too.  And when it had gotten the lower ones, it climbed up into the tree and got the rest.

 The first years, i would also see deer, going thru to the vacant block across the street,,,where they maybe lived.  Then, they too, disappeared.  These things came up from the river.   Who knows what i've missed sitting in the other room.  The desk top is slower, and i don't use it.,,,,It's hot in that room too.

So,,,got my card table set up, with a comfortable chair,,,and all moved.  So far, so good.

No plans in my future... Gosh,,Friday used to be party time,,and Saturday,,, Now,,it's ,,do i have a good movie for tonite?,.... lol And, i do.

Still no flies,,,still baffling me.  I think the most baffling, is, where did they get into my house?  The door sure wasn't opened enough for that many.

Got a Wild Hair Today

Just got in my car and went to visit G up at his country place.  71 miles W of here.  Close to Menard, all rocks.  Just got back, and i'm tired from driving mostly.  Got to watch him helping a neighbor and another man doing something i should have filmed with my flip, but,,,it was back at Gs cabin in the car.  There was this huge thingy,,air compressor?,,weighed about a 1000 lbs, and had to be moved about 15 feet over to a 4-5 ft fence so it could be lifted over.  Yeah,,,that's what i thot.  They're crazy!  No doubt about it.  Well, this neighbor had this huge front end loader and twixt the pipes under it, the plywood, the chains hooked to the hook on top, and 2 pushing and shoving to keep it kinda going straight,,,it finally got to the fence.  One time it went off the wood, and started burying itself in the ground,,so HALT!!!  Lots more shoving pipes to roll on,,plywood ahead,,,and lots more pushing and shoving,,,it got to the fence. 

THEN,,,They hook one little chain thru that hook on top and the other man lifts it up and over the fence!!!,,,  Even G got back, but that one man didn't...  They put it in a short bed pickup,,,lol, crossways,,wouldn't fit any other way,,,not all the way crossways either, not long ways,,mix in between.  Had that little truck almost off the ground in front.... He was hauling that thing about 300 miles.  I told him when he went up a hill, it would go right out behind him,,,he said,,nah,,it was sitting good... That's when you shut yor mouth,,,  No tie downs,,,just sitting there.  Why o why didn't i have my flip with me?,,,

Now,,,what's for supper tonite?,,,

Didn't want yall to think i died or anything,,,so yall tc, and

Over the Hump Again,,,,,,,,,

If anybody tries my meatloaf recipe,,please let me know if you like it. 

I told you i got that cook book when i was 17.  Here's the rest of the story. 

Back when i was in high school, for some ungodly reason, kids started getting married.  Yep,,that's what i said.  You could go over the border into OK and no questions asked, any age, any time.  After several had done that,,my bf and i decided to do it   too.  I was 16, he had just turned 17.  It was,,and OMG,, July 19,, I had spent a week in Austin with a friend and her sister, he worked there, and when they left to come here on Friday, we left and went to OK,,,got there about 2 AM, and you won't believe this,,,but,,a man was on a hammock in his yard, with a big sign,,saying Marriage Info!!!  He took us to the hospital for the blood tests, and when the court house opened at 8 that morning, he took us there and we got married.  Drove straight back here, and no one had missed us, and we didn't tell  til the following Jan.  Was something about his mom getting a SS check for him til he was 18.  Well, i went back to school, and to make a long story short, we told everybody in Jan,,,found out i was pregnant in Feb,,and graduated in May.  But,,, i got that cook book at my shower.

We were married for over 26 years, raised our kids, and ended it.  I married one other time,,for 2 1/2 years.  There were about a dozen girls that did that, and most of them lasted like i did..  I might have been the only one that finished school.

How's that for boring.  Guess in my subconscious,,,that date brought it up.  Numbers have always stuck in my mind. 

My son J called last nite, and i had gotten up and gone to the bathroom, or i wouldn't have heard the cell phone.  Trying not to laugh today about it,,but he said his dad had had a melt down,,,thrown out all the cats, and called him several times to tell him about it...when he finally saw that he had called, he found out and went there.  Said he couldn't find any of them.  There's a pet door into his utility room, so i told him they would go back later, they were hiding then.  And his dad would get over it by this morning...Haven't heard any more,,wondering now...lololoololol.  And he did tell me his back felt better than it had in weeks.   (I didn't blame him for throwing all those cats out,,,lol).  All but 2 are Js rescue cats.  He's had them fixed, takes excellent care of them, but,,,there's too many.  About a dozen.  Not all are kept in the house all the time, tho.
