LOLOLOL,,,DD, I don't remember having a slinky, but we didn't have many toys. We played games mostly, instead. BUT, my kids had them, and I played with them then!! lololol It was kinda good to be so young, when we were having our kids. Loved playing with them, and I sure enjoyed the kids as teens. Am i the only one to ever say that?? hahahaha. I think we might have been the only parents that had our teen age sons and their friends going with us to do things, but,,,,motocross races, drag races, boat races, a day at the mall? On their birthdays, they got to pick the events and eating place for the day, in Austin. My youngest always picked Burger King,,,lololol. The other, Poncho's all u could eat Mexican food. WE liked Luby's with all the different choices for everybody. And nearly always, my bro B was with us too. He was just 4 years older and the boys adored him.
One time, i took my dotter and her friend to Austin to do school shopping. Got there and she realized her leather bracelet with her name on it, was gone. We looked everywhere in the car, and didn't find it. Nothing to do but go on with the day. LONG DAY! lol, 2 teen girls shopping for clothes. Half way home, later, on the highway, i slammed on the brakes, and turned around, went back, and OMG,,,there that bracelet was, laying there in the middle of the highway, been run over all day, but,,,there it was!! Unreal huh? She had cracked the window and thrown out gum paper on the way TO Austin, and the bracelet somehow went out too. Gosh, hadn't thot about that in years.
DD, not pigs in Ns garden. They really tear up things rooting around. Have had them in my yard. She told me later she had seen a rabbit in there once, and it had run out in the corner, but she couldn't see how. lol,,,but wasn't a rabbit digging things up, either. She's ready to shoot a neighbor's goat if it shows up eating her flowers and stuff in the yard.,,Like it did another neighbors. Maybe he'll get it first. She said would be a bar b q. One of B's friends always won the World Championship Goat cook off. Used to have it in Brady, not sure where, now. B has the secret sauce recipe.
Got this pork chop cooking like i saw to do in a book. See if it's as good as supposed to be. Have to guess when it's done, don't have a thermometer. Never used one, so,,,,If it's not done, i'll cook a little longer. That's my way.

Ramblins
Not getting motivated any more to do these. At least on a daily basis. Rather than become boring, i'm gonna just post when i have something to post about. Like a lot of the others i keep up with. DDs and Hermits are never boring, still laughing over the 'dead' possum. And maybe it's just me, not feeling good yet.
Got up way too early today, after hearing on scanner about a fight on a boat and one getting thrown overboard. The wife of the one thrown out, was pounding on a door, telling them she needed help. Didn't find out til later how SHE made it to shore. She jumped out when the boat died. Seems as tho the water was just waist deep there where it happened, and they both had waded out. but not to the same place. He was found ok. By then,,i just got up. Now i need a nap.
Bro, B, came by and cut a big limb off my roof. Had been there for a long time. He sure had a hard time with it getting hung on others. But finally it fell off. About a 5" diameter limb,,broke several months ago then we had that bad wind. Gosh, gonna have to water some of my trees. Gotta have those. There's one little chinaberry tree came up out behind my store room, about 3 years ago. I've never put a drop of water on it, and it's thriving. Explain that!! I can't. Even the hackberrys look a little limp. And they are tough.
N called earlier and said something had gotten into their garden and dug up the potatoes and onions. I asked how anything could have gotten in, but she hadn't looked very good to see. Had to be an armadillo, dug under the fence. The veges weren't eaten, just dug up. she was going back to look a little better. lol C was working on the boat, thinking he might have figured out why it won't start. Have to catch up with them later. Guess she hasn't seen any more gray snakes. (Leave em alone!) lol I told her, "u know which 4 are the poison ones, that the only ones to worry about!" and none are gray.
Nap time, bb when i'm back.

Fresh Eggs Coming........
Hey all, realized late yesterday that i hadn't done a post, so just left it at that. I am getting a little better daily. This is what i've always called a head cold, just takes a while to go away. Got a cough today, and i guess i'm gonna have to continue the cough med.
Gosh, don't know why i can't sleep. Did it again last nite. Makes 3 now. Not sleeping at nite, makes me need a nap during the afternoon, an endless cycle. It will end on it's own, nothing i can do to speed it up.
Sitting on da porch with the Hermit this morning,,,reading all the facts, etc, which i love, then the postings to it. Had to laugh about everybody talking about USA as being the whole North American continent.
Just cooked some low salt ramen for lunch. Had some chicken fajita meat in the freezer, to add to it. Just sounded good today. Should get 2 meals from it.
Feeling lite headed, but took my bp, was 107/74, so not that. Was low when i went to see the doc, and she told me to keep an eye on it. Taking the meds for it, and losing weight fast , i will have to watch it. N just told me everybody has this "stuff", whatever it is. She's gonna bring me some eggs, but not gonna come in, lololol,,,i told her to knock and run. lmaoooo. She called a couple of days ago, asking what was a gray snake. Told her it was probably a racer, and leave it alone. lol,,,She had run to get her shovel but it had run off. I told her they would chase u sometimes, and she said any time one did that, was gonna be a dead one!!! She had been running a sprinkler and that had attracted it, not the water, but the insects it brings. They have a well, and are gonna put a pump into the river to use too.
Gotta take Hey Jude and get his update for physical and rabies. Next week will do, tho. Got the card yesterday. Too much rabies around now to ever ignore that. I have to get the carrier out and set in here, to let him get used to it. That way he won't run and hide. hahahahaha, well, maybe. Fancy always thot if she couldn't see u, u couldn't see her, and i always took her in a nylon bag. She was fine, invisible. Would unzip and she would stick her head up, big eyed, and never move while the vet did his thing. Way back, i would just throw 3 in my car, take them, and get them out one by one. They would laugh, because no one else had ever done that. The cats just made themselves at home, didn't mind the ride.
Don't know if we will have fire works or not on the 4th. Paper today said Austin and surrounding area wouldn't. Makes sense to me. They do ours on the side of the river, going out over it, so not much danger there, and for a small town, it's a really good display. When my youngest son was born, middle of June, we were in an horrible heat spell, like 110-112, for weeks. Back then all we had was an huge water cooler that did no good, running that hot water thru the pipes to it. (Right now, don't need hot water heater). Anyway, i would load up the kids and just ride around in our air conditioned car during the worst of the afternoon trying to keep my new baby cool. Did that for about 2 weeks before the weather changed. So now, seeing the 100 not too bad. lol And we were acclimated to it back then, and could get outside in the shaded yard as needed, but NOT heat that hi.
Blogger still messed up, won't publish this unless i go thru edit posts at the top. Still can't come back and add anything either. Can't post to DDs blog, and on Hermit's today, had to do it twice, wouldn't work first time.
Yall have a good day,,,

Getting There
Little better today. Got an antibiotic, cough med, musinex, all fixed up now, lol. Had to write down what to take and when,,too darn many. Not just those, but i'm including all the others too. Thot i had a full bottle of cough med, but just had 2 doses, so had to go to the $ store and get 2 more bottles. If u buy the one with dextromethorpohan 10% listed first, it'll work as good as any thing else. Learned that years ago thru the paper of course. Been getting that Austin American daily for ummmm,,,about40 years. Always got up earlier than needed to have my coffee and read it, before everybody else got up. Tried doing it online a few years ago, couldn't stand it, no ads!! lololol Lasted about a month. My bro, B, told me he knew what i meant, he felt the same way. You never realize it.
Gosh, just ate lunch and now i need a nap. Might have to do it. Trying to eat things out of my freezer that's been in there a long time. Today, was buffalo wings, FF, easy fixings. Not up to anything else. And besides, i never, well rarely, cook. When i was gonna get married the 2nd time, told him i didn't cook. He said,,who cares? lolol My g/dotter laughed til she cried one time, cause he was reading the instructions on how to open a can of biscuits. He could always cook outside. And i did cook, just wasn't important. A friend from Austin told me we should market my potato salad,,was so good. He was a big DJ, n all the kids were crazy about him. We were having a bar b q one time, had my 12 yo niece and a friend of hers out there with us, and all the fixings were inside on the kitchen table. The kids and i were there and he came in and filled his plate, then went back out. I told the kids, that's,,,so n so,,,and OMG,,they got big eyed, took off running out the door, and then just froze, their eyes huge, and mouths open.! lmaoooo. He loved it, lol. We did have tons of fun the 2 1/2 yrs we were together. But,,,he had a totally crazy teenage dotter that drove HIM nuts, and i finally just had enough. I never understood why people won't stand up to their own kids. Mine would never have dreamed of doing and saying things to me, like she did to him. I told a guy one time, later, DON"T have anything to do with her!!! Later, he said,,you were right. she is crazy. Still is, and now it all seems like it never was there in my life. Sure never missed it. And that friend stayed MY friend.
O yeah, that was when we hosted 2 biker meets on Labor Day week ends. WOOOHOOOOO,,, 3 day parties!! On Monday, when one was about over and everybody about gone, we were all standing around the last keg, and the hill where they had run for 3 days, was muddy going down from the overflow. All of a sudden this gopher sticks it's head up, and this girl says, ooooo,,,how cute, and goes over and PICKS IT UP!!! Wait!!!,,,why isn't that thing biting her hands off???, and meanwhile, they pass it around. All i could figure out, that was one drunk gopher!!,,,You got any other explanation? llololololol It never did bite anybody. I sure didn't hold it. I have a whole stack of pics. The photographer gave me prints later. He's the one that got tangled up in a barbed wire fence, broke his camera lens, and came over and asked if we had any super glue. I said sure, and got it for him. We all could NOT believe it!! He was putting it on his LIPS,,,saying no more beer,,, that was a $5000 lens!!! Like i said, fun times.
Nap time,,,

Charges Dismissed
Today's paper says the charges against the 10 year old were dismissed. Have to be 15. lololol,,,stupid cop. Seeing it on the news now. Locally, anyway. Still laughing about it, tho, him saying "I don't have a signature, i'm just 10" ahahahaha,,,then printing his name on the ticket.
Not feeling good today, trying to decide if i should go c the doc r not. Didn't sleep all nite, so that's most of it. How can u sleep when ur nose starts running water out? Can't talk,,didn't know it til i tried to talk to sis in law. Ran the neti pot thru both sides of nose. Still taking allergy pills. While i was up around 2:30, was in dining room, reading, when a darn scorpion came running toward me. Sprayed that thing with a yellow jacket spray and it didn't even faze it. Had to chase it down and squash it. Got stung getting back into bed last year, by one. Soooo,,,wasn't a good nite.
DD, it's strange how u can get turned around. There's a place in Kerrville that i get that way every time!! It's inside that little mall over there. Then once, coming out of Ft Worth. Took a lot of convincing that i was going the wrong way. Then all of a sudden, it switches back. Even now, it will happen. How is that possible? My mom had a place between here and Burnet.
Guess i had better c if i can get the dishes done. Then maybe get dressed. Called n got an appointment for 2;30 to c a DA, my doc not there today. Having that pneumonia 3 years ago, makes me concerned, since i do have COPD. I had that without knowing it, no fever, no cough. Just felt bad and short winded. lol, checked my oxygen and it's 96, so that's ok. Yep, got one of those little thingys that clips on ur finger to do that. That way, i can know when i'm in trouble. Right now, everything is from the neck up. Don't think it's the smoke from NM and AZ, think that's going another way. Besides, i never even got out yesterday. My son called late yesterday, and before he hung up, he finally told me he had had to go get staples. What???,,,Seems he leaned over and caught his head on a clasp and cut a 3" hole in his scalp, didn't know it, so later when it had kept bleeding, he asked his dad to look at it, and omg,,,sure his dad nearly passed out. Anyway, he went on, got staples instead of stitches because of 2 weddings he has to be in. Didn't want a shaved head on top. He was just thankful he could go to the office, not the ER. He laughed and laughed about the doc asking if he had ever had stitches. like,,,1000s,,,lost count long ago.
Later. Got dishes done, trash ready. Take it out on Tues, cause they come so early on Wed. Then, had to get back down. Don't have to dress for hours yet. Got enough leftovers for lunch. All set. lol
You c how i can wander. lol,,rattle on.
