Hey, I Remembered

lol,, Yeah, i remembered to start changing clocks yesterday,, first 2, my bedroom one, and the one on the coffee pot.  Now, gonna pretend nothing happened.  I figured out years ago, the best way to get used to it, is just look at that time,,, take it like it is.

My car has been fine,,,i've even started parking it forward into my carport.

My SIL has gotten one of those sleep apnea thingys to sleep in... I'm going this coming week and check into it.  I didn't know there was a home thing to use to check it.  Thot you had to go somewhere and spend a nite with things stuck all over you.  She said hers counted 31? times she did that during one nite, so yep, she qualified for the Machine.  AND, it doens't have that big thing to stick over your nose, just a soft strap with nose pieces.  I checked my O2 when i got up yesterday and it was 90, not good, soooo,, gonna check it out.

Just got a pork stew started,,, have to use pork, can't afford beef.  Gonna make it the same as beef...

I make all this stuff, put the leftovers in the freezer, and don't want to eat them later.  And, i don't want to cook what i have in there, either.  What to do,,, what to do?

My favorite nephew and 7 of his friends, loaded up in his mom's van and headed to CO late yesterday.  Don't know how he talked her into that!  lololol.  She has his car, but,,, it won't back up, so she has to remember to park it to not use reverse.  It still has the deer damage on left front, cause he didn't have comp insurance!  If nothing else, i carry that.  Used it a LOT too.  He's been working this last semester and saving to go back to school the next one.  He sorta has a fiancee too, and she's with em. 

Well, i've become brain dead, so yall tc, and

Here's Another Boring Post

A couple of days ago, my car drug for a few seconds, then started.  I know what that means.  I just had a battery put on in Oct.,,, so i thot it was the starter.  AND, it hasn't done it any more.  But anyway, i called my repair man, and he said bring it on,, this morning, and it all checks out ok.  Now, i'm more sure it's the starter.  And i know it can hit "that" spot again and not start.  He gave me his card if it happens on the week end, and he would come and help me.  Nice person,, huh?  He's trust worthy, and fair on price.

While i sat there and waited on him, for a few minutes, i noticed my sticker was out, so he told me he would have some, coming in about noon, so bring it back later.  I look at my 2 stickers and had been reading that backwards 2 as a 5, and this morning i read the actual writing on it. lol.  While i'm there gonna ask him to check my fluids too, i don't ever do it.  lol

My son turned 49 yesterday, even tho i never caught up with him, i went by his house and left a card.  He called last nite and thanked me, said he'd been out with bro B arrowhead hunting.  They both have a HUGE collection, and B can make one is seconds, using an antler.  Then you can't tell the real from his either.  Not sure if he still whacks on that flint much or not.  Don't think he does.

Gosh, this font is so small writing this i can barely read it.  It won't change here and i don't want it too large when it posts.  Ok never mind, just found out how to enlarge this.  AND, how to find it after google went back to home... Whew.

I am using 3 different browsers, lol.  This is chrome, and will let me use blogger better, like i told someone.   I guess it was this that told us that Internet Explorer wouldn't support blogger, and to use chrome.  Guess that's why pictures won't work good with others.

Then, i use Firefox for my facebook, don't know why, lol translates to,,,don't remember why.

IE is for my games... So there you have it.  Makes no sense but,,, works.

Businesses Not Here Anymore

This first one was a chemical plant, that’s all I know, (remember).  I do remember almost all the teenage boys would work there at times.  It was torn down and fenced off, and to this day, this is it.


This one was the DDT plant, yep,, a block up the street where we all grew up, and just off a creek, between us.  Somewhere along the way, someone decided it was bad stuff,  took it all away, and dug up the ground and loaded it into barrels, then sealed them.  Now you can’t get any good pesticide. 


This was the talc plant, on the bank of the river.  Not sure why it was torn down, don’t think it was bad.  We used it on Halloween to load little brown sacks to throw.  They exploded when they hit,  and that stuff was like flour.

See, I had a healthy childhood,,,,oh, and that talc plant was about 3 blocks from us.  The chemical plant was N across the street from the granite place.

When I woke up this morning about 7, I realized that the wind was that BAD front,  just arriving, so I shut 2 windows I had left open.  Heard someone on the scanner say the temp had dropped 14 degrees instantly.  And by the time I got up 10 minutes later, turned heat on!  Yall will see….

I’ll try to do better with pics, but,,, no promises,,,lol.

Granite Company

 

I was the bookkeeper here for about 7 years.  It didn’t sell slabs like these pictures are showing, just sold things for cemeteries.  It was in business since the early 1900s, until the man that owned it, had to retire because of illness, and his son took over as manager.  Lasted 5 years.  Thot he knew everything, and didn’t listen to good advice,, (like mine,,lololol).  He tried selling huge blocks to Japan, and didn’t let his quarry foreman cut them right, so when they got to Japan, they dumped them in the ocean.  Huge loss to the company, and it did it in.  I learned just about everything about granite, and how to do it all.  Had to, out of sheer boredom, bk wasn’t but a 30 minute job a day, lol.  O well, that’s when I got into Home Health Care, and LOVED it.

After a few years, the company above bought it, and now seem to do a thriving business. 

Sorry about the pictures, I’m getting worse.  Anyway, supper time, so yall tc, and

Hmmm,,, Nothing to Say,,, AGAIN

Just a quick update.  Cause there's nothing.  Same ol, Same ol.

Was 21* when i got up this morning.  And NOT talking about weather.

Hip's still hurting, don't know what to do.  First thing i do when i get up hurting, is take the 2 aleve.  Takes about an hour to work.

I've been taking a box of jello to my 5 yo niece, and she's gotten good enough i think she could do it herself.  Well, yesterday i took a box of chocolate pudding.  Yep, she loved it.  I had asked if it was ok, cause it takes 2 cups of milk.

The Voice is back, and soooo much better than Idol.  It's so funny with the judges cutting up all the time, more a comedy show.... lolol.  BUT, the singers are lots better too.  The judges on Idol are BLAH.

My g/dotter lost her job Monday,, was told that she was "disconnected",, WTH does that mean?  She always said she loved her job, so, how could she be doing something to get fired?  We think they had to hire someone else, so did this to her.  She was in shock, totally blindsided.  It was part time, and now, she's gonna set up a booth in a place here, to sell her crafts.  She's so talented!

Don't like trying to post a blog, when it's so boring.  So sorry, yall, tc, and

Nothing Going On

I did NOT know what day it was today,,, Thursday or Friday.  I finally saw it on TV,,  Good thing i don't have anything i had to do.

My hip is wonderful.  It doesn't hurt to walk.  Since this is just the 3rd day, i'm still taking it easy, not pushing it.  It usually takes a few days to take full effect.  No spasms at all.  I can't raise my leg much yet, but not having to drag it when i walk.

My computer stills gives me trouble sometimes.  Then i spend a couple of days,, trying to get rid of stuff that's showed up.. I'm running malware quite a bit.  It's mainly in mozilla firefox.  Sooo, i'm using IE most of the time, and i even put google chrome on too.  Firefox still has my full list of bookmarks, so can't just get rid of it.  And yes, i did import.

I wake up so much during the nite,, thirsty, having to get up to get a drink.  Last nite when i went to bed i used that biodene and didn't have the thirst like usual, so going to do it again tonite, and see if it will always help.

Got no plans,, and a weekend is coming up.  Wow, last one of Feb. too.

OOO Yeah, Today is Some Kind of Holiday

Just realized yesterday, we're having our March winds!  Hit again a while ago.  Got my wind chimes rattling around good.

My apt. for the hip injection is in the morning,, 10 am.  I think the reason it didn't work good last time, were the spasms i had for days.  I never recovered from those.  Learned a good lesson,,, take it really easy for a few days, let that stuff do it's job.

Put some brownies in my toaster oven, set my timer, and just checked.  Still raw!  Now, WTH?  Put the temp up another 50*, see if another 20 minutes will work.  I had this other oven put back, and when the previous one messed up cooking toast, i got this one out and thot it was great.  So, don't know what's going on.

My typing doesn't show up here, as i'm doing it,,, stays behind.   lololol 

Hmmmm, now i'm smelling brownies!  I cooked half a mix of cake last week, and had thot i had frosting.  When i didn't i did have chocolate  syurp,,,lol.   So that's what i used with it,  was soooo good.  That half mix was in the store, and for me was perfect.  I don't use my large oven, the gasket doesn't seal.  So anything i cook has to be toaster oven size.,

Well, yall tc, and
