I Know, I Know,,,late again

WOW, could NOT believe i slept til nearly 11.  I WAS up til 2;30, and when i woke up at 7;30, i thot,,,wayyy tooo early, n went back to sleep  My feet hurt after i went to bed, and i finally got up n took an aleve.  I have neuropathy and if i go right to sleep, theyre ok, but if i just lay there for an hour r so, then they get started.  Its like walking on nails, on a bed of fire. lololol,,,really!  I stick them out from under the cover to cool em off.  I take a medication and it works good, unless the above happens.  It started way back, before i gained all this weight, and before i was diabetic.

When i was awake around 7;30,, heard an ems call out to the park where the actions going on this week end.  Think a man fell off a horse, but anyway, was having horrible back pain.  One of our VFD men was making the call.  In a few minutes, he called back, said to hurry, man had passed out.  Still no response from ems.  After another few mins, the ems finally answered, then still more waiting.  Fireman called back,,,told ems to get a move on,,,they were doing cpr on him!!!.  Whats really pissing me off, is the response time from that ems!!!!  Just now called my bro, G, and hes gonna find out.  Hes a VFD man too.

Gotta change channels on this tv,,lol,,on a cooking show and now im starving.  Its the grilling one... Now i might have to go to Coopers and load up. Pork ribs,,,oooooo,,,Does that sound better than my left over 1/2 of a grilled cheese? hahahahaha  1 rib will make me a meal. 

Anybody upset over 2 soaps getting cut???,,,,Im sure not.  I wont even stay in a room with 1 of those things on!  The  ladies i worked with in home health all had the courtesy to turn off their tvs when i was there.  OOO NOOOO now im seeing an avocado burger!!!   Its mexican food now.  

BBL!!!

Fun Times

Did i really hear that weatherman say it could get into the 30s tonite?  About 9:30 today, i had to go into front of the house and close the windows.  Got a north wind blowing good out there.  These cool nites makes for a good nites sleep.  Last week i was running the ACs to get that.  Couldnt get to sleep last nite, so i got up and ate a bite, did a puzzle, then went back to bed about 1, went rite to sleep then.  Slept straight thru til 8.  Unusual for me, im usually up 2-3 times.  For some reason, i have always woke up like that, for no reason.  i think i used to wake up for a cig, and now the habit continues.  I go rite back to sleep.

I made the mistake of driving out to the park yesterday, the big one.. OMG,,,had forgotten about the crawfish open this week end.  People were already piling in.   I used to go out for the washers, would be 20-30 teams, B included and usually running it,  and the zedeco music. But last year, u couldnt drive into the park, had to park miles off, and since i cant walk very far any more, i just turned around and came back home.  Theres about 15000 ppl that will be around on both days,,, a huge golf tourney,,hey BB,,,where r u?,,,(18 holes),,calf roping (huge affair, huge purse), and live bands.  Lots of booths set up for all sorts of things.  Im just not into that any more.  Got too old n decrepit.  (Notice i didnt say, too heavy).  lololol  O yeah, forgot to mention the tons of crawfish and bar b q to eat.  Ate those the first year, decided it was wayyyy too much trouble for that tiny little nibble to fool with.  This is the largest thing done here all year.  Years ago, used to be the chili cook offs.  Then for a few years it was the wild game cook offs.  One time, i raided the freezer for friends that were entered, and found one! squirrel, my uncle had left it with me,  and gave it to them.  They told me later they threw it on at the last minute just because it was there.  hahahahaha,,,,it won first place!!! out of the hundred entries!!!  There was a limit of 100.  That was the first time i had tasted of rattlesnake,  goooood... (tastes like chicken),,,hehehehe,,,NOT

bbl,,,Maybe

Nothin to Say

No news, good news?  Guess so,,,no updates since my last post anyway.  Toe is doing great, had a great nite's sleep,,laptop's back to normal...wow,,,I'm on a roll here. hahahaha,,,

Picked up some sugar free chocolate chips for N yesterday, cant find em here.  Think i ought to require payment in cookies?  Love her bread pudding, sugar free.  She adjusts most recipes to sugar free.  Shes the one with out of control type 1 diabetes.  I know she eats right, and shes thin, n exercises, but its either way high r way low.  She cant afford a specialist, nor the treatment that would require.  She has fast acting insulin for when the numbers r way hi,,,like 500 r more,,,and eats sweets when its crashing down to 30s.  She wants to check on the pump, but when u have no money, u dont pay hi priced medical care.  Shes in the process of getting some help, has filed all the paper work, and now in waiting stage.   Shes not black r hispanic, r illegal alien,,,just a white girl needing some help.

Should have talked to the puter man,,,before i called dell last month.  I had changed a setting, and then couldnt open eml files, (ones i had saved in documents).    Da man told me about this program, Mailview, that opens any files.  Not sure how it all works, but ive put it on here, gonna have to figure it out.  He said i could save my mail to that but just the little i looked, i have a LOT to figure out. lol,,,he said to call if i needed to.  (guess what?,, i already need to).    He runs classes  on whatever people think they need, when he has enough to be interested in something.  Its 22 miles out there, so would cost me over 7.00 just for the trip.  Hate this, but is necessary, counting the cost of any trip, gas wise.  Cant save enough now to cover the cost of driving to HEB, unless i have a long list.  Ive heard a rumor we r getting a Lows,,,buying out the super s.  Never heard of them but have a little hope.  HEYYY!!!! We r also getting a chicken place, Express Chicken,,,wooohoooo.  Getting uptown now! lolololol  We do have a few traffic lites,,,hahahahaha.

Actually, we dont want it to change.  Over in Marble Falls, u can c how too much growth too soon, makes this little town horrible.  Besides just the town, a few miles out is Horseshoe Bay, pricey pricey place, and add it all together, makes the "horrible".  Hate for the world to discover this place.  lol Being the deer capital is bad enough.  Most who visit, always want to buy a little piece of this paradise.  lol,,,,AND, we have world famous Cooper's BarBQ, and Inmans Turkey Sausage. (thats in the building that was the ol Rambling Rose,,,) nuff said. 

See how i can just ramble on,,when i dont have nothing to say?,,,,

Remembered a few of these old sayings we all lived with.  Here we go,,,"I will, directly,,,im fixing to.  i ought to.  Its over yonder.  And gosh, i still use em most of the time,,,hahahahaha.  I taught myself to never say 'ain't',  n would correct myself when i did it.  That was back in the 5th grade.  When my youngest son was  about 15, he started correcting himself to SAY,,,'ain't'.   lol  Still miss that kid every day.  He will always be 16.  My bro, B, and i both know he would have been a zillionaire now, he was coming of age in the mid 80s, was a puter whiz, and a brain too.  We joke that yeah, with all that money, he would still play pool for a dollar and quit if he didnt win.   Bs oldest son is a replica of him,,,looks, brains, actions,,,everything.  Somehow, he got the exact same genes.  Ill always wonder if he hacked into the school records and set his grades to straight As all those years. ahahahahah,,,know he didnt, but,,,,he never had to study.  U could also ask him any football ?,,,and he could answer it instantly.  another howard cosell.

ok gone again.  MIGHT bbl

When Its Bad.,,,,Its BAD

Know its late, but what a day.  AND nite.... was up about 1/30 soaking that toe.  Made it til about 7/30 and got up, called that doc, and got an apt over there.  Had to drop off my laptop, go to grocery store, so,,why not c him and get this toe taken care of?  Which i did.  He got a big ol hunk of sharp nail out of the side, way down near the base.  Going back in 2 weeks n get the root removed, cure this problem forever.  He removes just the root on the side, and it still looks like a normal nail.

When i came out and looked at cell phone,,,there were 2 calls i didnt recognize.  The first one,  a lawyer, was saying something about needing to talk to this person today! (voice mail).  Tried to call the number back, couldnt, and couldnt leave a message either, so,,,hell with it..  LOLOL Think he'll ever believe that so n so didnt get his message??? hahahahah  Second one,,i did get, was a parole officer, did tell her that i SURE wasnt the one she wanted.  In just that short period of about 30 mins, these 2 calls were left on my voice mail.  Hope someone doesnt get a jail sentence over that. lmaoooo 

OK,,now to laptop.  Dropped it off at da man... and by the time i was thru over there, he was finishing up doing his thing.  Turned out,,,now lets c if i can get this straight,,,, my anti virus decided to overload, and just kept on n on.,,,every day collecteing data here, data there.  Went crazy, lost its mind.   Soooo,,,he couldnt delete all of that, so he just deleted IT.  Had put all my stuff over on another thing, took that off, put a free one, AVG, back on,, reloaded my stuff, and YEAH,,,, im GOOD.  Worst thing, ive got that same Kaspersky on my desktop too, now what to do?,,,,Know one thing, im calling them, and getting my money back.  AND the cost of getting this fixed.

Im so tired, yall, but just wanted to update today.

Day of Rest,,

Laptop giving me all kinds of problems, so here i am,,,on my desktop.   Ive gotten so used to using the LT, hard to change.  Its been getting worse n worse for days, and today, just went to hell.  Says 0 memory, wont let me open even my email.  Yesterday n day before, ive been dumping files like crazy, and now im finding out nothing helped.  Still saying the same thing,,, need to dump 300 MB.  Got my kaspersky running a full scan now, c what it finds, and i really dont expect anything.   I have it set to run scans every week, i think.  Ive called my puter man and gonna take it to him tomorrow unless i do a drastic change today.  (Like i know what im talking about,,,lmaooo). Only thing i do know, i know where he lives, hahahaha.

Had a wild crazy horse running around up here today, lololol.  Had chasers, animal control, etc, but when he got ready to quit having his good time,,,he let them put that rope around his neck.  Then, the mule across the street kept braying, wanting more action.  What a day!! Dont ya love it? 

Have to make a run out to Ns house,,,she can get ingrown toenails out really good.  Got a bad one.  Been soaking in epsom salts, keeping neosporin on it for 2 days.  Time to get the operation done. lol  This goes back nearly 2 years, to when i first saw that foot doc and he cut it off too far down on the side, made it start then.  Went thru lots of stuff for months, and he finally cut off the side of my toenail.  It got well then, but now,,the nail is trying to grow out and getting ingrown again.  He dropped me when i asked him not to cut way down on the sides any more.    Well, thats what caused it in the first place!!!  His charge for cutting my toenails was WAY up there, billed to medicare.  Without medicare to cover it, would have been less than a 1/3.

O yeah, Ns got a new rooster and 4 more hens.  Well, gonna have, by the end of the week.  The 3 hens she has left are getting over being scared all the time and the 1 attacked so bad, she still doesnt know if its eye is ok r not.  Its keeping the lid closed, but when it first happened, it opened that lid just for a few seconds, and the eye looked good.  I was thinking last nite, maybe its stuck,,,  Ill get her and well check that out today. Tuesday is her house cleaning day,,,, u DO NOT DISTURB that.  She called and said she was thru, about 1;30. Im not going out til a bit later.

Ok,,done my do,,maybe,,,ill bbl.

Good day, Sunday ppl

Used to just love sundays,,,getting all dressed up, going to church.  I even played piano for a couple of years way back there.  Now,,,no dress ups, no sunday nites,,,take time off for holidays.  Rare to find a preacher thats actually a God person, not in it for the money.  I dont believe being in a building will take u to heaven.  I DO believe that living a good life, will.  I have tried to do my best in that regard.

Had to start my laptop in safe mode today.  Then found out in a bit it was so low on memory, i couldnt even uninstall programs...had to delete some first.  What a mess.  Gotta remember im on a laptop,,,lol.  This one does have lots of memory, but not like desktop.  Have to start using flash drives. 

My sis, N, picked us all up some of that food at the fire dept. and i went out there for supper,,,,gosh, could just eat about 6 bites.   (wooohooo),,,well, anyway,,,found out that snake was NOT a rattler, had a long pointy tail.  They were back at the chicken pen when i got there, and i found out why,,,when i walked down there.  C had been close by working on something and heard a hen making a strange noise, and he went to c,,,and the rooster and another hen almost had this one killed...were both on her pecking on her head. OMG,,,still makes me sick.  Was blood all over her, and looked like 1 eye was gone.  Another few seconds and she would have been dead.  He ran the 2 off, out of the pen, and closed the gate.  Later they put antibiotics on her, and i did c her eye open, and i think it will be ok.  They had pecked on top of her head n on 1 eye.  Needless to say,,,theres 2 less chickens out there today.  Their neighbor told them they could have a rooster, n maybe 2 more hens.  He also told them they needed to feed them oyster shells.  Later i remembered that dad always fed back the shells to ours.  Not sure that i believe thats why those 2 did that tho.  What do yall think?  Back when i had some,,,that never happened.  Didnt feed them oyster shells, nor egg shells.

Need to go out to HEB, but sure not gonna today, n cant tomorrow.  Too hot today, respite tomorrow.  Ill just keep adding to my list.  Reason i have to go out there, is i cant get some things here.  Cant save that much any more, with the gas so high.  Like,,,im on my last roll of Charmin,,,ultra strong, ultra large and nobody carries that here.  Also, my soft soap,, i like the new one,,sea mineral, has those little bead things in it.  And,,,my breakfast bars. wow,,,what DO they have here? lololol

Started a movie last nite, but its a long one.  Sandra Bullock,,,with that huge black kid, football player.  Got to the part where hes leaving for college.  (Memorys gone,,,lol) and NO ,,,i dont need to be on the other end at respite.  What has brought all this alzheimers on?  I dont think it used to be that way.  Its like autism.  Ive never even known a kid with it, and they talk like its everywhere now. 

Been trying to think while im watching the masters. Gonna take a break, bbl

Rambling on

I've been watching the live stream of newly hatched bald eagles,,,at www.raptorresource.com.  They hatched daily and the oldest one will probably be the only survivor.  He's mean!  It's on ustream, if u can't find it by the above address, the Decorah eagles.  They r brand new.  Got to see the pair change places this morning, and feed the 3, then soo carefully sit on them.  It went off for a few minutes, and that older one was trying to eat the other 2!!!,,,They played dead, lol.  Was watching hummingbirds, but the cam wasn't on one day, and by the next, they had flown out of the nest!!  Then turned to the eagles, and just 1 had hatched so i've kept up with them.

Just today, i finished up the food my friend had sent home with me.  Don't even know how many meals it was, can't eat much.  But i would eat a little with 1 of those huge rolls.  Today i finished the roll with sugar free peach preserves. ummmm.  Roll was buttered, of course.  6 ritz crackers with pimento cheese makes me a meal.  Don't need much in my food budget,,,,lololol,,,wooohoooo.

Changed my sheets today, and took off the electric blanket.  Even got it washed and hanging outside.  Have a quilt at the foot just in case i need extra cover.  Plus,,,the comforter is still on.  I have to take that to the launder mat to wash it, then bring it home and hang out.  My spell checker says thats the way to do laundermat,,,,lololol,,,so ok,,,

Gosh, have water running out on one of the crepe myrtles,, a really old one.  Probably doesnt need it, but getting it anyway.  Nearly all my landscaping is native, or  things that survive on little water.  Also, ones that have blooms to attract hummers and butterflys.  Theres 2 mimosa trees that were here when i bought it, and they love those blooms.  AND, i DON'T care what anybody says about hackberry trees, I LIKE EM.  No care needed, and last to drop leaves.  Have 3 large ones, and 2 more growing in great places that need shade.  lol,,,everything needs shade here.  Have a huge chinaberry tree on west side that used to be all the shade i had on that side and i guess they r a lot more hardy than i had thot.  Had 1 pop up behind my storage shed, and thot, gee, wish it would make it.  Was too far for me to water, so i just left it alone.  wow, its in its 3 year now, growing like a weed, never had any care.  Im so proud of it, lol.  In the 10 years ive lived here, i now have a great big hackberry, and another chinaberry getting there,,,on the west side.  My sis, N, has her front yard full of oaks,,and theyve been blooming,,,omg,,,what a mess.  Between the exchange of leaves and the blooms on them,,,u begin to wonder why u ever wanted them!

bbl

Not much to add.  Fire Dept. is having their annual fish fry, bar-b-q today, and gonna go by and get a plate to go.  Last time i ate their fish, it was so salty, i couldnt go back for 2 r 3 years, (can't eat much salt), so maybe it will be ok this time.  Sis, N, is gonna pick them up, and im going out there n eat with them.  LOLOLOLO,,,,she was getting her minnow jars out of pump house, and 1 had this little snake in it,,, she swears was a rattler.  I described a young one, n she said yessssss,,,that was what it looked like, so maybe she did. I was laughing cause it couldnt possibly bite being in that jar, but she yelled loud enough to get C down  there,,,which he proceeded to smash it in the jar.  Surprised he didnt get the big guns out! LMAOOO.  A rattler doesnt have diamonds on its back til its about 2 years old, will have the black n white stripes on the tail,,,and a button.  The head is also not triangle shaped yet.  The more i told her, the more she swore it was one,,,hahahahaha.  I think he smashed it enough u wouldnt be able to tell even if u could find it now.  She kept saying it was ,,,cause it was striking, and had its tail up.  All snakes do that!!! hahahaha o well,,,maybe i just have a sick sense of humor.  I nearly picked that one up in my house that time, cause it didnt look much like a rattler.  Then later, my bro, B, told me why.  Now, that means theres a den nearby, and they need to really watch.  One that young hasnt come far from a den.  Shes probably already called B...hahahahaha, bring out ur gas!!!,,now!!! hahahaha,,,and here i sit, laughing with tears,,,,

Gosh its tooo hot.  Down to 95.4 now,,,Know lots more coming.  bye yall, tc
