Dearly Beloved,,,Pets

Got all my blogs back, but c some others that didnt. Sure enjoyed Hermits today. Had 2 German Sheppards, at 2 different times, in my life. Loved those super intelligent dogs. The first 1 was really large, black n silver, n loved all baby animals, lol. Would bring me baby rabbits (i had to raise), n would take kittens away from their moms. I would be met by the mom,,,wanting her babies back. N there they would be, with the dog, getting rolled around with that tongue,,while she licked em. She would never nip the kids when they accidently hurt her, but would lick em in the face. She was always right there with em, when they were outside. Great ball player too. Had her for most of their childhood. Had 1 more after that, but he died with distemper, because i didnt know his puppy shots had worn off. OMG,,sat up with him for 2 nites, feeding him some stuff the vet gave me, trying to save him. That was it, for dogs. Never had a good place to keep them, so just never had any more.

Now, i always had the siamese. Bought my first pure bred, registered 1 around 1980, but never fooled with papers, even tho i did sell them. Gosh, had some of the most beautiful, would have been best in show, if i had ever cared about that. Had been given a registered male from a friend that couldnt keep him. I just loved them as pets, n was very very picky about who i sold them to. Was also given an himalayan with papers 1 time. Thats a persian with siamese coloring. She was so beautiful. Sold her kittens too. 1 time the 2 females had kittens at the same time n every morning i would be met by the 1, just howling, wanting me to get her kittens back from the other. hahahaha,,,n there would be this 1, with all the babies, happy as she could be. This happened every nite. hahahaha. Just have 1 now, but its because i dont want to leave pets behind. Hes 7 years old, so maybe i will be here as long as he is. Hes such a wimp, so gentle. My son would take him, if not.

My sis's dotter has her prom tonite, n shes soooo excited. Ive been invited out to witness this "getting ready" thing this afternoon. Maybe i should film it?,,,hahahaha,,,probably take hours just to do her hair. N is going to do it. Was there back a few months ago, for a frosting job that turned disastrous. OMG,,,there should be a warning on those kits, saying DO NOT DO ON LONG HAIR!! That cap thingy had to be cut off. After pulling all that long hair thru those tiny holes,,no way go get that frizz back thru. Besides, it didnt even show to be frosted. Took hours to get that cap off. Now,,thats what i should have filmed. hahahahaha. Looked like she had been in an electric shock. I told N,,finally, to pour conditioner on it, n that helped, but still had to cut it off. So this should be good. She just called, wanting to know the name of the chinese place here, reminded me.
,,,
Now im hungry, bbl

Gotta add a little more, after reading DDs comment. I was always a room parent from the get go, with all my kids. When my dotter was a Jr.,,they gave the seniors the Jr-Sr Prom, n had to decorate the gym for it. Was a jungle theme that time. My dotter called n said,,plzzzz come up here n help,,the girl doing the art work was doing it really bad, so i got to draw the huge pictures,,on the paper to put on the walls. I was drawing monkeys n things, walking around on the paper. lolol We got it done,,somehow,,then the big nite came. Welllll,,,since i knew almost all the kids drank, i asked another room dad if he had anything to spike the punch with,,,hahahah, u he sure did. Sooo, we spiked it n no one was the wiser. But,,,my bro, B, was a senior n 1 of his friends did NOT drink, n i saw him going back for more,,,n more, n more, n i finally went over to B,,,told him to tell D to stay outa that punch!!!! D didnt believe it, said was the best punch he ever had. Then it was like a stampede!!! OMG,,,am i the only 1 that ever spiked their kids party punch? At a school function? hahahaha,,,was so little, woulda taken a gallon to make a difference. (D mighta drank that much that nite). Lord have mercy. Havent thot of that in years. Now i could be put in prison for something like that. Cant have any fun any more. lololol

Poor Hey Jude

OOO Gosh, gotta put flea drops on Hey Jude. He had a flea on his face, last nite, n i thot he was having a spasm. Dont think he likes em. lol Hes been hiding all morning, has forgotten what all that noise is, that thunder n rain stuff. Just now came out, so when hes done eating, gonna get those drops. Hafta kinda sneak up on him. When he hears that surgical glove, he gets suspicious. Then when i open the actual med, hes ready to run. Takes a lot of convincing to do this, but gotta.

OOOKKK got that done. Now hes outside, scratching like crazy. By later today, he can come back in flea free, n sleep on my lap while im kicked back tonite watching tv. He likes Idol too,,,hehehe.

Had to look up that song, "Signs" n c who wrote it,, wasnt Dylan, was Les Emmerson. Somehow i thot it was Dylan. But way back i remember when i bought his first music,, like a rolling stone, blowing in the wind. Still like his music. I still have all those ol vinyl albums, from way back. I would buy the album, then record it onto,,well, 8 tracks first, then later cassettes. That way i could pick n choose the music on my tapes. Back when bro B was in hi school,,i kept making him a tape of Dr Hook, (party music back then),,n it kept getting stolen. SOOOO, i cured THAT problem!!! The last one i put Mel Tillis on the label!!!! hahahahaha No one EVER touched that 1. From the first time i heard Dr Hook on Dick Clarks dance show, i bought all his albums. It was mostly songs u never heard on the radio. lololol,,,Like,,Freakers Ball, True Love,,,Get My Rocks Off,,,Penicillan Penny, hahahaha,,,might have to play those now. U did hear Syvias Mother, Marie Laveaux, Cover of the Rolling Stone.

BB,, lunch time,,aaagain,,,leftovers.

Made it,,,rid of all those left overs now. When i got up this morning,,around 8;45,,i opened up some windows, n let it get cold in here, hahahah, felt sooo good. I put on a jacket, warm shoes, n enjoyed. Still cool. I bet DD is getting that stuff right now. Its almost 1;30, n on the news, showed that whole thing just about to the coast. Hope all of ya got some of it too.

Just heard, Walmart parking lot,,on tv,,something about a pup being found there. Reminded me of when i went to San Antonio for my sons spine surgery. I went a day early, because it was Jan, n this horrible ice storm was predicted, n i didnt want to drive down there on that. It hit next day, n when i got up n went out to leave the motel, my car had 1/2" of ice all over it. I couldnt open the doors. The drivers side was worst. Finally, a man came out n helped me get the passenger door open, then i could reach in n start it n put the defrost on. Took a long time, but finally that ice started falling off n i could get in. My son n his dad, hadnt gotten to the hospital yet, so i stopped by a Walmart, n when i came out, i loaded my stuff, n left the buggy parked nearby. The hospital was just behind the Walmart. A couple of hours later, i heard my name, was wanted on the phone. Im going,,who in the world could it possibly be? Well, it was my sis, n she told me a man had called saying he had found my purse in a buggy at Walmart.!!! I gave her the address n in just a few minutes, this man came walking down the hall, carrying my purse!!. He had looked inside n found people to call, here, then they called him back giving him the address. He was right there. Can u believe this? It really did happen. There was quite a bit of money in there too, but nothing was touched. He wouldnt take a cent for doing all this either. WOW, Still makes me humble, knowing that there really are still some good decent people in the world. That was a 3 day iced in situation. The doc did get there n do the surgery, but just called in the next day, checked, n said he could go home. So we drove home on the highway, in 2 ruts, creeping along. It had just been opened. I got stuck behind an 18wheeler going 10 mph.,,,drove me nuts. They pulled out n passed, but i didnt for a long time. Finally did it, got up to a whole 15 mph. lol, but made it fine. About 35 miles from home, got out of that, n stopped to gas up. lmaoo,,,couldnt get the door open to the gas cap. Still had a sheet of ice over it. I pounded on it enough to finally break it off, fell off in big sheets. My sons surgery had been on a vertebrae in his neck, n was done lapascopally. He had to wear 2 different neck braces for a long time.

ok yall, outa here

Over the Hump Day

Over the hump day. hahahaha,,,dont know WHY that matters now.

Just found out nieces r safe, storm was close tho. Her puter had been down til today.

Sure enjoy Gypsy's blog. And like her, im alone n pretty self sufficient. I do pretty much everything, n even when i was married, did, too. I am a darn good plumber, can do a little electrical, n can take things apart n fix if it can be done. Also, carpenter, lawn, (weeds) care. Even built my own waterfall for my pond. Just dont have the muscle now to do things like i used to. And like her, if i want to go somewhere, i go, rather go alone than not go at all. Im alone, NOT lonely!! lolol dont think i could stand someone around all the time, would drive me nuts. Especially if it were someone that couldnt do for themselves.

Gosh, Idol is down to 4 now. 1 of my favs was voted off last week, Casey. So now i have to decide between James n Scotty. OMG,,,HOW???? The 1 that wins is the 1 that gets forgotten later, n the 2nd place is the 1 that goes on to good things. Most of the time. lol Got started watching Voice now,,sure dont like the way they eliminate AT ALL. When u put 2 good singers up there together, then have to pick 1 to stay, that sucks. DUMB way to do it.

Gonna warm up leftovers, (last i have). BBL

Chicken Time

Have some low lying clouds around today, no rain tho. Even if it did, would just be 1 of those pop up showers, wets the surface, goes away in mins. Was it last week, we had those during the nite? I was up around 1;30 n heard this loud pop on my roof. Then another, n then another., Wasnt raining, just large hail about nickel? size. That lasted about 2 mins, then quit and rained. No one i talked to had any hail damage, so it didnt amount to anything.

Got to quit dressing my toe yesterday, guess itll get well. lololol And i still cant contact my niece in AL, so i still dont know about them. Read in the paper, theres no lists r anything to check, yet. Theres too much mayhem to even do that.

Was reading a blog today, about chickens. Could NOT believe the stupid people there. If there was any way for me to have them, i would. Years ago, i had a few, and they knew exactly when id get home, n were waiting at the fence. I always let them out til roosting time. They would have a great time, scratching n eating the bugs, n never got out of my back yard. When i went out later, they would go back in the pen. Never had to chase them back either. One time, i let a hen sit on some eggs, n she hatched a few. One turned out to be a rooster,,,grrrrrrr. I went out one day, n my old rooster was laying on the ground, in the pen, wings all spread out, on his side. I thot he was dead, but when i touched him with my toe, he jumped up n ran to the other side, n laid like that again!!!. His head was all bloody too. I went straight into the house, got my 22, n goodbye, young rooster!!! My old one healed, but lost that 1 eye. I never again had 1 that would hurt him. That same thing had happened to my sis's hen, tho. The rooster n 1 hen tried to kill her, n left her with 1 eye,,,hence the name,,1 eye. lol,,,ive about named all of em. One is ms clean, then theres stripes, n little bit. Have 4 more,,,,lololol Of course, theres Mr rooster, but now im calling him 1 feather. hahahaha,,,When she got him, the others had pulled out his tail feathers, so now he just has 1. Hes an americana, n they r so beautiful.

bbl, folks

Later, just not much going on today. Got my trash ready to take out, got my sheets changed, tried to shut my eyes for a bit after lunch. Thats it.

cya tomorrow

Wonderful Mothers Day

TYTY Hembree, glad to c a new follower.

WELLLL, about 1;30 pm yesterday, my door bell rings, and its a florist bringing me flowers from my dotter. Never knew they delivered on Sundays, but,,they did. Gave her a call to thank her, and , lol,,,she thot they had been delivered on Sat.,,, Surprised her too. A few minutes later, my son called, asking if i wanted to go to Marble Falls n eat at a Mexican restaurant, and i told him YESSS. lol,,,He also had to make a stop at Walmart. My dotter came by and brought my card, but didnt go with us. All in all, a GREAT Mothers day.

Ok, time out for lunch. bbiab

Good leftovers, and no, i didnt eat the mexican food, had steak n shrimp sheshkbobs. Cant eat much of the steak, even without my band being full. It still wants to stop me up. Got my surgery date set to replace that port, this morning. It will be on the 25th. Told em, i wanted it filled right then, too, lololol. Well,,,hells bells, ive lost a year already!!!

I still HATE this new format for my blog. I waste a lot of time trying to figure out how to preview, edit, spell check, etc. and then to get back to the blog itself. Have figured out that there r drafts i can get to, n just today, help told me to clic on just edit, to get back to this. I thot i had changed it to be like the old one, but guess that didnt work. Doesnt surprise me. lol

Reason im so late today, is my power went off for over an hour. That put me wayyy behind. I finally called to be sure it wasnt just me, n they told me they were doing repairs. Way back, our power went off, n we didnt think much about it for a while, but then,,noticed all the neighbors had theirs on. Got to looking, n the main switch outside had been cut off. lmaoooo...Our ol tom cat always got on the roof, n then jumped down to the utility box to get off, being in a corner. Guess he missed, n hit the big switch, n off it went. From then on, first thing we checked. That ol cat was the king of the hill,,,n i wish i had filmed him,,,Our neighbors 2 houses down, had 3 boxers, in a pen with an 8 foot fence. Mean sobs too. Heard them ranting n railing 1 day, looked out n there my ol cat went,,,walking down the fence line with just the wire between them,,ears laid back, tail up ,,,twitching on the end,,,daring them to come on. They were jumping so high, they could ,,,almost,,,get over the top of that fence!!,,I had to laugh,,,thinking what he would have done,,had they made it. hahahahahaha He woulda died of fright. hahahahahah. He knew exactly how to push their buttons, n did it every day. Im sure my neighbors just loved him. One more story bout that ol cat.,,,Hed been missing a couple of days, n my hubby went out the door and there he was, sitting there, slobbering,,sick, drooling. He said omg,,hes got rabies!!,, well,,,i watched him a few minutes n he would try to like, spit something out, working his tongue trying to do it. So,,,i went over, against my hubbys warnings n yellings, etc, and looked in his mouth. And there it was, a round bone out of a fishs spine, stuck down on his back tooth. He couldnt swallow!! I just got a pair of pliers, pried his mouth open, n took that bone off. lolol,,,He was fine!! n besides, he had his shots anyway. That hubby couldnt ever handle emergencys. I was always cool hand MOM<<< lololol

Strange Happenings

Gosh, here it is almost 11 am,,,n i havent heard one word from either of my kids.

A lite on dash board came on late yesterday, showing a door ajar on my car. And,,my interior lites wouldnt work, n it didnt lock the doors when u put it in gear. Went from drivers door, on around til i had wd40ed em all, (the latch thingy),,and i think the last one i did, fixed it. Aint that always the way it happens? OMG!!!! Just connected something else to that. When that happened, my sis used the button to unlock it, n at the same time i get a phone call from her, over where im waiting, and i cant understand a word shes saying,,,then when she stops there by me, i close the phone, thinking ill c what she wanted now. WELL!!!! SHE HAD NOT CALLED ME!!!! but she had!!! It was all garbled, like slurred. My phone shows the call, too. WOW hahahaha,,using that unlock button somehow made this happen!! Had another incidence similiar to this a few years ago. My computer went down, n i was told the main station had been flooded there in San Antonio. I went out n my car had a dead battery. Called my son, then came back in. Later, my puter came back on. N still later, i went out, n for some reason, tried my car again. Worked fine!!. I think the outage affected that chip in my key.,,,somehow. Yall ever had anything like these things happen?

My sis, her bf, n i went over to Marble Falls n ate at the seafood place over there. yummmmm,,,i had fried oysters, baked potato with all the trimmings, slaw. SOOOO GOOD. Havent had oysters in years,,just always had shrimp. Now im hungry for frog legs, gonna have to find a place for those in the future. oops,,,if i get this band fixed next week,,wont be able to eat but a bite and be full. lol,,1 plate=lots of meals.

When i went with the 2 friends last week, we went to, guess ud call it, a diet siminar. That lady said throw everything away u have always been told, its not true. Like the food pyramid,,,not true! Grains,,,not good. The way weve been told to eat, is why theres the fat epidemic. The basic thing she said, is eat #of carbs to equal # of proteins. Add a little good carbs to bad carbs to equal 2/3 of meal. Thats where i have to quit,,,going back to another next month. Just for the ride. By then my band should be working.
