Nothing Like Losing Your Internet Connection

Here i was ,, just sitting here going to my email, and,,,NOTHING there!  From one second to the next.  Got on the phone with verizon, and it took the 2 days to fix my problem,,my modem.  They shipped me a new one out that same day, and i got it the next, but then had to be on the phone til  too late to do anything else.  THEN,,my laptop didn't pick up, so back on the phone again this morning.   GEEZ

When my modem showed up about 2:30 pm yesterday, i unpacked it, plugged everything in, and OOOO NOOO,,,no electric power!  Out to the breaker box i went,,,twice,,,didn't help.  How can this be?  Started bypassing stuff, power strips,,etc,,and thot i found the problem,,one of the power strips.  But,,still can't get online.  Got the power now, but.....  Finally took the splitter off where i plug into the wall jack, went direct, and,,,worked!  Now i know i need a new splitter.  Well, i didn't fool with that yesterday, it could wait.  So that's how it went, was too late to do anything by then, so just logged off.  lol.  But then,, back online early today, getting the router working to my laptop, and NOW,,i have found out my printer won't work from here... Not gonna mess with it NOW.

They are giving me a big credit on my account for this.  Verizon is still my favorite ISP.

I've tried catching up on the blogs, and have done most of them, but i didn't leave any comments.  Saw where BB made it to Falcon,,and DD has lots of tadpoles,,,
Jojo got her MV fixed, rvsue doing something about her oil gauge,,,,But gosh,,was taking so long,, i just quit,,so i could post this.

Like you DD, we were predicted to have about 2 1/2" of rain, but,,won't ever make it.  Now the flash flood map doesn't even include us.  Maybe you tho.

My sis N called me about 7 this morning, and i had been up but gone back to bed, all upset with her JohnnyBoy, (cat),,that was real bad.  He had awakened her about 4, crying with pain, and she had been holding him,,waiting til the vet could see him.  She had him 15 years.  He didn't make it.  When she got to the vet's and put him on the table, he died.  I know everyone has lost beloved pets, and it's so hard.  He was never allowed outside.  She does have 2 outside ones still, and one is gonna have kittens.  Gosh, we might have to bury her, when her little doggie goes.  That's the one i put on Youtube singing Taco Bell.

I cooked yesterday,,,,lololol.  Made up some chicken and rice,,kinda threw stuff together.  Biscuits too.  I'll eat off of it for a few meals, then freezer time.

Anyway, i'm back,,and yall tc, an

Day Off

Taking the day off.

Snow, Sleet, Wind, Cold,,

Gosh, just couldn't seem to get warm from the time i went to HEB, til last nite.  When the wind is blowing from the N or NW,,,my house just doesn't want to heat up good.  I can tell when the wind stops,,,lol.  Little leaks, like all old houses.  It just seeps in.  I made myself some hot chocolate yesterday,,just sounded good.  And IT WAS...

I drove out to the park,,being careful on the bridges, (was no ice tho) and watched the snow/sleet for a while.  There were about 50 or 60 of the little black ducks on the water.  I even saw Hop a Long when they got out on the bank.

Welll,,, i didn't intend to, but,,,ended up watching all of the Grammys show.  It was  good, and i liked almost all the singing acts.  I missed Jennifer Hudson tho, had gone on to bed.  Saw it today on the news.  Didn't know who Adele was, til last nite, but,,,i sure did like her.  She won a lot.  I didn't think Glen Campbell was gonna make it,,,well, remember the song.  Not sure he did, but what a great performance.  Beach Boys,,great.  I thot they did a great job on short notice, about WH.

Gosh, got off on something else, forgot about this,,,hahahaha,,losing my mind.  Found too much other stuff to fool with.  Made copies of stuff on river access, got off into facebook,,just wasted time.  So,,late now,, yall tc, and

Loved Whitney

Late yesterday i found out she has passed away.  Sooo sad.  So young.  And i know like so many others, drugs and alcohol had been a major part of her life.  And that's sad too.  Why do the super stars need those crutches?  Last time i had seen her was on Oprah,,and i thot it was a year ago.  Found out today, it was in 09.

Made it to HEB yesterday, late.  Got a big load of groceries, my once a month shopping.  Stopped and ate out at the lake,,where my g/dotter works, and gosh,,it was getting COLD.  Not like this morning tho.  Been cold since i got home, seems like.  Bed was warm, but i was up and down most of the nite.  Not much sleep.  I got a kid's choice off the menu, a cheese enchilada, with green sauce,,chili con queso on the side, with pico in it.  And then,, just ate about 1/2, brought the rest home.  My feet kept hurting during the nite, even tho i took an aleve.  Well, this morning i saw why.  I hadn't taken the med for them.  Can't believe that one dose does that.

Snow flurries?,,,,Sleet?,,,not yet.  It's a maybe tho.

O yeah.  The 6 year old boy that the lion drug off, is back in the hospital, they think an infection.  Well,,,DUH.  Still don't know how to add a link here, but the paper i read is:  www.statesman.com.   Since i can't seem to make it clickable, you can copy and paste it.  And i know about using "link" above.  It's not what i used to do.  Lot of trouble if you ask me...

Not much in plans today.  Need to do more research on the river thing.  I'm still getting a few signatures every day.  Yall tc, and

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.

Yall tc, and

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
