Parade Day

Here it is, 1/4 til 10, and just heard on scanner about the parade. lolol,,guess i really didn't want to get out and go. Too late now. Did try to call my son, c if he was putting in any of his cars. No answer. Well, got out and went to check, and no, none of his cars. In case anyone doesn't know, he and his dad have lots of rebuilt GTOs. and one has won top of the show, lots of times. Another, won lots of drags, well, 2, actually. Way back in hi school, he had a trans am, he and his dad had repaired, and he sold that to buy his first GTO, a 64. This was when he was 17. That started it. The yellow 72 might be my fav, (the drag one) but then there's the yellowbird. That's a trans am, called yellowbird. OMG,,,what a car. They have enough to have their own car shows,. lololol. Way back, right after he started driving his 64, night before deer season, a hunter saw him putting gas in it. Made a squealing stop, came back, and kept making him offers to buy it. He kept telling the man NOOO. Man wouldn't take that for an answer, kept going up, and finally my son just got in and drove off. It's been sitting up on blocks for years, now.

I've never been interested in rodeos, and back when i did go, was just for the bull riding. That was when we went and took the kids. Never was the cowboy type, gimme a motorcycle. When i was single, wouldn't even dance with a man in a hat. Had a young one stop at my table one time, and kept telling me he was George Strait's little bro. Told him, i hate GS, and he just kept on, like that would impress me. lmao.. had the opposite effect. We always had motorcycles, not horses!! hahahahaha. and race cars.

This is for DD. DD, i read ur blog every day, and always enjoy it. I don't know what happened either, since i could post on it a couple of weeks ago, and now i can't. But even more strange, i can on the others that use google act. Would u try not having to go thru the word check?,,,just out of curiosity. C if i can, going straight on. Just a thot. Bob from Athens has the same problem. I can't post here on mine, using google. But i have a choice of name/url that will let me. All u have to enter is name. then continue. Now, the question is,,,,is it google or blogger???? hahahahaha,,,ok,,,,do ur wondering.

Animal Control,,Needed

DD, now, bears r one thing we DO NOT have, except when one goes wandering thru. We DO have animal control, and that's sure what i'd be calling. hahahaha, can just c our man chasing a mama bear with those 2 cubs. lmaooo.

There's a new show on animal channel, the cat from hell. Besides a dog whisperer, now there's a cat one. From all my years of being cat hosts, i have learned a lot about their body language, etc. One time, saw a cat phychiatrist on tv, telling how to make ur cats quit scratching on furniture. He said, blow up balloons, pin them all over the chairs, sofas, etc, and when they popped would scare the cats and make them leave those alone. HA!!! He never had siamese. I went right to the store and bought a bag of balloons, spent the afternoon blowing them up, pinning them all over my furniture, and stood back to watch. Ok,,here goes,,,one walks up to one balloon, sniffs, then puts his paw up there, and POP,,,he looks at that thing, then another, does the same. WOW,,,what fun!!!,,But then, they figure out they can gently put their ,,,hand,, up under that balloon, and pull them off and bat them around til they pop. Now i've got popped balloons with pins, all over the place. You ever stepped on a pin in carpet? Not good, i tell ya. Don't ever try to tell me cats don't think, or plan. Seen it too many times. Even my vet told me, that my siamese shouldn't be classified as cats. lol,,,Will try to find some pics of them. Had the same line for lots of years. Even my x and son don't have any of those any more either.

OK,,gotta get in the shower, nearly noon. lololol,,going nowhere, so why hurry?

Was reading BBs blog and saw where he might camp at Brownwood. Good place, and he even mentioned Inks, and that's right on my door step. In this county, Llano. It's a controlled level except in extreme circumstances. One year the river that goes into it, the Colorado, and the Llano, had floods so bad, they had to release too much and made it flood a lot of homes there. Now, it's ok, our rivers are still flowing good. Somehow. Anyway, BB, hope u become a resident for a while. Good places.

ok,, bb

This n That,,,

OOO DD,,I can post to allll the others with my google, just not urs. Sends me to a sign in page, which i did again today, then the word verification, then post, goes right back to that sign in page. So somehow, has to be from ur end. SSSSS

No news, good news, about pesky? Can't find anything today. Has anybody else heard since yesterday?

Just cooked some pan seared shrimp, yummmm,,,,waiting on other to get done. Had never tried it this way. Fast and easy, and soooo good. If u want the recipe, let me know. I have to eat really slow, and can't eat near what i could before. Might be able to eat 3 r 4 of these. Right NOW, but,,will bb. lol Used to buy a pound of frozen, batter it up, deep fry it, and would feed all 4 of us, as much as we could eat, and still be leftovers. Good ol buttermilk batter. Talking 2 teen age boys, too. Ok, had 3, gotta wait now. Feels like i'm stopped up. Every time i took just one drink of water during the nite, it did this. I would have to sit up until i could burp, lol, like feeding a baby. And i'm having really bad indigestion since i had this done. Even with the water. So i can't lay back down and go right back to sleep til all that is taken care of. Changed my appointment to go back to July 5, with my friend S. We've done this the last 2 times, and it helps both of us. What is making it allll worth while??,,,i weighed yesterday, been a week, was down 3 1/2 lbs. Darn sure worth it.

Who was talking mosquitoes?,,,,o yeah, DD. We have em here. No let up. Even had a spot of fleas outside in one place, but they r gone now. Mother always said they migrate thru sometimes. They were there about 3 weeks, and i did use sevin dust, but no fleas now. Hey Jude got his drops, so hes flea free too. The other one i had, Fancy, if she got ONE flea on her, she would do all kinds of shaking, jumping, biting, all with ears laid back. Then wouldn't ever walk on the carpet any more. Would jump from one thing to the other, and have u ever seen a cat tip toe?,,,she did it. on the little bit of space she would have to hit. Wish i had had my flip.

Had some kinda shocking news today. One of the men that volunteered at respite, just died of a sudden heart attack, had been to the doctor the week before, gotten married 2 weeks before, and had one like my Dad, here one sec, gone the next. He was retired, and 63. I know i might sound callous, but that's sure how i want it.

Hang in there,

Mouth Watering New Recipes

Gosh DD, still can't post on urs. Didn't know u were sick, somehow i missed yesterday. But glad ur better. Fire ants do that to AC compressor units too. The ones that sit outside. My dotter knows now to just go out and check herself. She thot her whole system needed replacing, when her ac didn't work this year. She wrestled a window unit into a window, then when a repairman came and got into the ceiling to look, was a wire loose. It's a really old unit, but she sure was glad was just that home call to pay for.

It's just sooo sad about pesky,, keep hoping and praying that he will get ok. Then reading BBs blog just a few mins ago, how can he disappear???? Gonna keep checking all day on this.

Really appreciate all u readers. U can sign up as a follower any time,,,lol,,,and talk back too,,,,hahahaha.

Don't look at new recipes. Unless u wanna start something. That's just what i did, this morning. Now,,gotta get some raw shrimp, and pork chops. That's for 2 recipes!!!,,,lol, not together. One is for searing shrimp in a skillet,,,ooooo,,,gotta do that one SOON. Might just be able to eat 2, now, but it will sure be a good 2, then 2 more later,,,,etc. After a year, this lap band is working RIGHT. yeaaaaaaa,,,,,Just shows ya, don't put up with stupid, inept doctors...try another one. Should have taken that advice 6 months ago.

DD,,i think u picked up something else at that flea market,,,lololol,,but glad ur feeling better. I carry a package of those thingys to sterilize my hands when i've been in some places. Like walmart during the winter, etc.

hey yall tc now.

Boring Boring Day

OK DD, i still can't post to ur blog. How r others doing it?,,And,,just where r u today???? Blogger has fixed a couple of things on mine, but not all yet. oooo,,,i didn't try posting to mine today. It hasn't been letting me thru google account, have to use name/url.

Still no plans for today. Nobody wants to be out in the heat, including ME. But u never know about us. There r things i could do in the house, but.....maybe, r maybe not. There is never anything i have to do, i can always say, do it tomorrow. Have tried to tell N that. Won't do any harm to wait a day to do a full house cleaning, u do NOT have to do it on Tuesday! It's a compulsion, she can't change it. So,,even when she's sick, hurting all over, r anything else, she cleans on Tuesday! I'm gonna be gone Wed, with her, to see a chiropractor about her problem with both arms and hands. She still might have to go c a neurologist.

Well, boring day here. I do need to get up and do a couple of things, like, dishes and teeth. bbl, maybe

Short and Sweet

yipppeeee, got recent posts and followers back today, still no spell check, nor the add-to thingy on the bottom, but now,,,i have high hopes.

Can't post to DDs yet. Just tried. Goes to sign in, and that starts the circle. I'm signed in already, shouldn't ask.

My bro, G, came by to visit and stayed most of the afternoon. He lives just down the street, like 1/2 block. lol We always have lots to talk about. And always have.

Got out and about for a bit late yesterday. Was the first time since Wed. Too darned hot. Glad to get back home. At least i can move ok now. Only sore spot is where the surgery was done.

Woke up last nite about 11;30 and went to the bathroom,,could hear someone talking. Finally figured out it was the new neighbor 1/2 block the other way, sitting outside and using her speaker phone i guess, cause i could hear a man talking too, and what they were talking about should have sure been private, lmaooo. I just went on back to bed and couldnt hear them back there. She's not someone u want to know, so i'm having nothing to do with her. At least, won't be a druggie place and a sign says sold,,so she mustve bought it. Gotta call G later and see if they were hearing all that. hahahaha

Gotta be short and sweet today, nothing going on, nothing new.

Hey, i Can Move Today

DAMMMM google!!!or BLOGGER!!! ,,,i can't even post on my own unless i go thru name/url,,,and just use name. that worked. But,,on DDs,,he doesn't have that, so i still can't post on his. Tried his open id,,but didn't work. soo,,,sry DD. I think it is really Blogger that's the problem, since it still doesn't have 2 of my side bars. Keep thinking they will fix it. Soo,,enough time on that, today.

A friend asked me yesterday if we had any plans for the week end. Told her no,,we never made plans, always did things on the spur of the moment. The spur hasn't happened yet. And that's ok too, too darned hot for humans out there. I never got out of the house yesterday, well, a few steps outside. Still was tooooo sore. About back to normal today. My son told me that when ur put on a metal surgery table, they ground u, and that puts all ur muscles in a strain holding u still. Only thing that makes sense, since i was sore from my fingers to my toes, unbelievablely sore. Had to take pain med for that. Has anyone else had this happen?

My sis, N, called all upset. Her cat we all thot was male, had 1 kitten, only one they knew of, and this morning, it's missing. Well, all kinds of things couldve happened. There's a wild cat out there, had one of those kill 2 of my litters. Then, maybe she just moved it. N had fixed a bed in a box on the porch, but maybe mama thot there was a better place. The mama is one of her 2 outside cats. Now all it will take is for the other one to turn out female too,,,hahahahaha Sure thot i could tell the diff, but.....all of us were wrong.

Now, back to that one that got 2 of my litters. That cat used all his 9 lives. Was shot with an arrow, lived. Then after the first of mine, my son came in from the pasture with his 22, and told me i didn't have to worry about that cat any more, butttttt,,, he survived that too. Later, my 2nd hubby and i trapped him in the garage, and he shot him multiple times,,then shut the door. Good thing, next morning, found that darn cat at the door, finally, dead. And no, i DO NOT FEEL BAD. He had killed 2 litters of mine. Got what he deserved. After the 2nd time, i sat out in the yard with my 22, waiting for him to show back up, to get the other 3 kittens he had just killed. He took 1 with him. And i would not have hesitated to shoot him. Siamese r the only breed that does not do that. And not all males of other breeds will do that.

Ok, gotta move a little, bbl.,,,lol, maybe.

Just realized, this new setting does NOT have spell check.
