What Are Friends For

My friend S called, then sent me a jar of homemade gumbo stuff.  YUMMM.  OOO,,,also 2 thick slices of homemade bread!  Took a couple of bites, has some jalapeno i can tell,,,lol,,,but i can take it.  (Wimp on hot stuff).  I sent her the last bowl of soup out of my freezer,,just wasn't appealing any more to me.  Needed the room too.  GOT to make a grocery run,,,have a long list.  Been putting it off,  but the next 2 days are gonna be horrible, so,,,today is it.  Maybe,,,lol.  Almost out of milk,,soo,,yep, today is the day.

Didn't see the little black ducks at the park, yesterday.  Went all thru it,,no ducks.  They could have been upstream from the park i guess.  I'm still watching Hop a Long.  I thot it was actually limping on that foot part of the time, so i'm wanting to keep an eye on it.  That was so much better than the dragging.

I haven't done anything worth talking about lately.  Same ol, same ol, ya know.  On the puter too much, lol.  I did finish one of Diann Chamberlain's books, one more to go.  They are hard to put down too.  I think these are the last 2 i hadn't read.  Not sure how many are left of Lee Child's either.  I think i've almost read all of them too.
Hate it, when i have to start looking for a good author again.

Can anybody put click on links in their blogs?  I used to, but now it doesn't work.  What changed?  HELP....lol.  PLEASE.  I wasted hours yesterday trying to figure this out.  I made changes but nothing worked. I also added word verification after reading on one, that that might help with my spam in my email.  I also took off email link.  (where u get an email for every comment).

Today was soooo Sunday when i got up,,even looked for the coupon books in the paper,,,hahahaha,,,thot, gosh,,strange,,,none today.  I have the calendar on my screen,,so why don't i just look at it every day???,,, I do read my sticky notes.  I'm in the old format of blogger.  Just noticed,,,llololol.  Changed that too.

OK,,,time to git,,,things to do, places to go,,,stuff to eat,,,etc etc,,,yall tc, and

Just Not Up to Par

It's getting so late i didn't think i'd make it. And there were lots of new blogs to read today too. Learned something new,,,you can make your own brown sugar! lol,,,Love it that at my age i can still do that.

Haven't had much get up and go the last 2 days, no idea why. Just not up to par. Did make myself walk a bit yesterday, was forcing, but didn't the day before. Sometimes when i miss a day, i can walk more the next. It's always been that way with exercise for me. Just need that day of rest, i guess.

I know that link i put in that other post wasn't clickable, but,,, you could copy and paste. Still don't know why you couldn't click. I do that on other blogs if i have to. Guess i could have changed it, but,,, just didn't. hmmm,,, Just discovered i can't make a clickable link... Used to just use the www and it would...Doesn't work now. Will have to look into that. All this new blogger,,,do NOT like it.

Wondering,,,,

I posted links to 2 storys yesterday, and there was not even one comment. The one about the mountain lion grabbing and dragging off the 6 year old boy when they were leaving the Chisos Mts Lodge in Big Bend Nat'l Park,, was so horrifying to me,, i thot there would be others that thot so too. His mom was even holding his hand when the lion attacked. I don't think anybody has ever heard of something like this. If you didn't look it up, it's there in yesterday's post.

O well, i'm guilty about not hitting links in posts too, sometimes do, sometimes don't.

Gosh, seeing this message below saying ,,could not contact blogger.com, saving and publishing may fail,,,retrying,, hmmmm,,,what's going on now?

Got a kick out of DDs post today. This comes up AFTER i've thrown away all that OLD stuff,,,hahahahaha,,, Guess i'm just not a prepper. lol. Wonder if those preppers have looked at the expiration dates? I have no idea what kind of stuff would keep forever. Do yall?

I'm uploading that other coral snake thing to Youtube today,,and it takes forever! I'm gonna put a warning on it about handling one. OMG,,, still makes me have chills to think about him doing that. No anti venom in US any more for them. The reason i'm doing it is because it shows it shedding and then burying itself for hibernation. He didn't think that's ever been seen before, so that's why. Wish i could have deleted the handling.

If this is the new blogger, then i do NOT like it. When i do preview, it won't go back to this. I have to go thru dashboard, then edit. Guess i won't do preview any more til i'm ready to publish.

I really need to get up and move, do a few things,,,so,,yall tc, and

OMG!!

There's 2 things in today's paper i want to share with you. This is unreal!

http://www.statesman.com/solr-search?=firstResult0&numResults=10&searchString=mountain+lion+attack&search

Type=site&searchType=unified_search

Then this other i can't believe,,,lol,,,

http://www.statesman.com/solr-search?

firstResult=0&numResults=10&searchString=salt+source&searchType=site&searchType=unified_search

Who'd a thot it? Guess it means i can eat all those potato chips i want, if i leave bread out...hahahaha,,not really. Kinda shocking, huh?

My bro G came by yesterday morning and that's why i didn't get the blog done. We're getting things ready for the city council meeting, and as soon as we can, we will set it up on the agenda. We discussed what we had done, and what we still needed to do. Besides getting more signatures. I just talked to a business here, where i eat more than anywhere else, but she told me that there were no petitions of any kind allowed to be left there. Most of them are that way. But,,bring it by, and they would sign it...

I don't talk about the weather on here, cause there's enough in others,,,lol,,,but today is just NOT a good day. I have always loved to drive on days like this, cloudy and cool. Wish i had somewhere i wanted to go,,,lololol. Heard that darn gas will more than likely go up to 4.00 a gal by May...GEEZZZ I'm sure not using much, staying put. It's so high now, it doesn't pay to go to Walmart or HEB for groceries. Now, that's just too darned high!! It would take about 4 gal to go to Walmart. Just don't think i can make it add up,,for savings. I know how to drive for the best gas mileage too.

My son made it to San Antonio to his spine doctor yesterday for the spinal block shots he has to take every so often. Another back surgery is in the future, but he always puts it off as long as possible...This will be #5. The bone grafts didn't take on the 1st one, and a year later, had to have it redone. He made them use bone from his hip, and it was good. This was when he was 21 or 22, and it's been the others since then. He said the doc really fussed at him for not coming sooner. Like, 2 months ago. He can't go thru check points, without setting alarms off,,,lololol. Got too much metal up and down his spine. He was in a car wreck, and thrown about 50 feet out, wasn't the driver, but he also fell about 40 feet onto packed gravel after climbing up the side of a building. Broke both ankles, but i've always thot it jammed his spine too, causing all the problems later.

Ok,,on to something else,,,makes me cry to think about it. Wish it had been me,,,you know.

I haven't read the other blogs yet, so that's where i'm heading. See yall later,,tc and

No Blog

No blog today.

No Win,,

WOW, rvsue sure had a bad hair day,,huh....I can put myself in her place, and would NOT want that kind of company. Heck, i don't even like to put where i am on my blog. Never did. Like,,on my email, i never put my name, just don't like it being out there. But she has been so open, and gotten so much great advice, and help,,and now it's shutting off? lololol...well,,,ok. I hate to see that, cause i really liked the blog,,,heck, i'm still missing hobojoe...

Ok,,on to something else.....now what?,,, OOOO YEAH!!!,,,Super bowl!,,,I didn't win that pot,,,an 8 did. Think my bro G had it. I was home watching a movie, but would switch over sometimes. That 8 came up right at the end. That safety at the beginning made the 2, 5, and 8 good numbers...lololol.. Got 2 movies being recorded today, then tonite, gotta record the Voice, missed it last nite after the ball game.

Bro B had rib eyes cooked, and i was sooo hungry for steak, i tried to eat some. It was so tender, but still wouldn't go down. Ended up upchucking just about all i ate, (few bites). It had gotten stuck kinda bad, cause later i ate a peanut butter sandwich,,and it hurt too. Lots came back up. Sorry about talking about that,,, I am gonna have the band loosened all the way as soon as i can, just never gonna work for me. That tiny bit of fill i got last time, created this problem, so there's just no way i can ever get to the 'right' spot. I can't drink during the nite either, i have to rinse my mouth out for the thirst. Otherwise it comes back up when i lay down. Woe is me,,,hahahaha,,,

I did get some walking in yesterday, even tho it was windy and cold, and cloudy. lol, Made m e walk faster. I'm wearing my r&r shoes, they work good for it. I got real close to little ducky, and that leg is messed up down by the foot. At that joint. It's not holding the foot up, is dragging it. Not good, i know. It bends all the joints down to that one. But it's still eating, flying, swimming,,,etc.

Got some more signatures on our petition yesterday, too. Makes 25 just in this neighborhood. And there were several not home. And a few that didn't sign. Making progress.

Ok, outa here, yall tc, and

This, That, and the Other

Not sure how much super bowl i'll watch, just want to know the ending score...lololol...want my 9. I've found movies on all day, otherwise. Recording 3, gosh, nearly ran out. Have one left after last nite. There's a Stephen King coming on at 7 pm,,might watch that one. Hate to miss the Voice, but,,,wth is it coming on after the ball game? I'm going to bro Bs house for some of it.

Called my sis N yesterday and got an answering machine,,well ok,,,thot she had gotten the new one and hooked it up....Tried her cell, didn't get that either, so,,later tried the house one again,,,same thing,,answering machine.

When she called me back later, there's NO answering machine!!! Now, wth is going on???,,,Still doing it today. I told her to call it from her cell, check it out. Then call the phone company tomorrow.

Saw the little duck yesterday, and it's still hopping, but good. Saw it fly into the water once, when the others did, so the only thing it can't do is walk on that one leg. I don't know why i never see chicks,,from any of them. Years ago, used to see baby geese (whatever they're called,,,) but not any more. There's so many predators i guess they don't make it, or even the eggs.

When i went out to Ns house, we walked down to her chicken pen, only 4 hens left, so she could put fresh water in for them. OMG,,,it stunk so bad, just from 3 days. Sometimes during certain weather, things sour, and this had. She said she still wasn't getting eggs, then looked and there were 3,,,lololol. They're putting on new feathers and look so good, even the rooster,,not one feather any more....lololol. She said it sleeted early today! Not here tho. She's 10 miles West.

Today is sure a stay-in day. Wish i had a pot of stew, or chili. Don't even have the makings, so,,,i'll eat what i have. S gave me so much yesterday, i still have 2 or 3 meals left. OOOO YEAH,,,she gave me some 16 bean soup!!! OOKKKK. Need to make some cornbread,,which i do have the mixes.
