Did i hear BB say he was cold? WOW, What is that? Bring it to TX, BB. With the rain of course.
I got out late yesterday to watch the fireworks, darkthirty. When it got to 9:45, i came home. They started before i got here. lolol,,,Too darn late for this ol body. Of course, i could see them really good from my drive way, watched a couple of minutes, was enough. Went to bed right after 10, slept til 9:30 this morning, with just 2 ups. Nite before, i woke up sometime during the nite, shivering, freezing, out from under any cover. Pulled it back over me, went right back to sleep. Do like my bedroom cold. Rarely run any heat back there in the winter, did a couple of days last winter, that's all.
I've had the Casey Anthony trial on all morning, closing arguments. I don't think this will ever end. Also don't see how anybody could think she didn't do it. Death penalty?, No, life in prison, no parole. My opinion.
Went to Marble Falls yesterday. Walmart of course. They didn't have the rain gauge i wanted, the great big one with the disk in it, and didn't have the silicon cover for this laptop keyboard. They said Office Depot would have those, but,,,,nope. Also, Home Depot didn't have the rain gauge either. I ordered the cover when i got home. No hurry for the rain gauge, right? Damit. Even after that little bit of rain, last week?, things have kinda greened up. Stopped at McD's and got the double cheeseburger off the $1 menu, and the fries. Had to take the top off the bun, but managed to eat about 1/2 of it, and that many fries too. Band still working pretty good, but gonna get tightened Tues. Will let u know what the loss is.
My son told me that all the kitties were there the next nite. So they are still safe. He said they were really hungry after the 2 nites they had been gone. Even running off the big daddy. He is huge, weighs about 18 lbs. Son said as big as a bob cat. He got bitten so bad, back in the winter, he had to take him to the vet, kept him at his house til he healed, but then he wanted to go home, so he took him back. He protects the mom and his kittens very good.
Just saw Advair advertised on TV. I was put on that back in the fall of 07 when i was diagnosed having COPD. Also took the pneumonia vac. In Jan. 08, had my first round of pneumonia. Never had it in my life, then after those 2 things, i'm having it. May 1 was when i quit breathing. Just before that, the doc took me off Advair. Found out later, it can cause pneumonia!!! It's in their ads now.
B and wife took off this morning for Carlsbad, then on to Yellowstone. No plans, just do whatever pops up. MY way to travel, lol. No hurry either. Told him our niece is out there somewhere too, and I KNOW it's a small world. They were at Hoover Dam a few days ago, drifting back this way. In one of her texts, she said they were just crazy, lmaooooo. Texted back, wonder where u got it? hahahaha, she agreed.
Ok folks, so far, just a boring weekend around here. Hope it's lots better for yall.
Adios,,,

Ramblings
Good Morning, all!!! Hey DD, i quit throwing out all food scraps just so something would have it to eat. Got way too much wildlife coming by. lol. Just hated to put it in the trash if something was hungry. The large bins the company furnishes, won't turn over. My sis N said she had seen a fox in her yard, and i told her it was hungry and looking for something to eat. LOLOLOL,,,Keep those chickens in the pen.
My son told me that the abandoned cats he goes by and feeds, up by the school, has 2 of the kittens missing now. Told about owls being there and one swooping over his head one night, when the cats were out with him. I don't know how any of the kittens survive, with the owls, foxes, coyotes, up there and hungry too. The school is leaving all the lights on for some reason, and of course, the cats will be out eating the bugs that come around. He's going to call and ask why the lights are on 24/7 now with no school going on. Then, there's the dopies coming up there hanging around. Up to no good. Late at night. Crazy kids sometimes will get a kick out of torturing little animals. With the lights on, he thinks they saw the cats. Going to call police dept. and ask for patroling up there, too. He is always looking for good homes for kittens. One of the ones missing is a Russian Blue. He asked if i knew what that was, and i did. Wayyyyy back, one of our first cats was one. Didn't know it til i saw a picture in a book, and there she was. Was after that, that i got into the siamese.
We had an huge german sheppard, so gentle, great with kids, loved little animals, and the first siamese kitten i took home, i set it down so she could see it, her wanting to lick it, and that little thing fuzzed up, spitting and scratching, ripped her nose before i could grad it. O boy, after a coon had done that one time, she hated coons the rest of her life, would kill them if she could. Took a lot of persuading to get her to like that kitten. Had her on a lease one time, walking, and this kid's pet coon ran out, i was trying to hold her back, screaming to get that coon out of here, ripping off my nails, had grabbed her around the neck by then, but that kid grabbed that coon and ran back to his house with it. The one that bit her on the nose happened when she was still young, and we had taken her out to teach her to coon hunt. She had gone running up to it, wagging her tail, til it did that. Then, we had a coon dog. lol She was so big, she could crush an armadillo with her mouth. Didn't let her do that if i could help it, but did see it one time. If the kids accidentally hurt her, she licked them in the face, never nipped.
Not even noon yet, 11:30, and i'm starving. Sure need this band adjusted, and will get that Tues. Guess i'd better see what i have, know i have some leftovers.
Yall hagd.

Short n Sweet
Glad u agree with me on thieves, DD. And it was about that same time i got my first Zenith portable radio too. WOW Could go to the river and have music!! Til the 6 batteries ran down, lol. Then later, bought my dotter a portable 8 track player, and i know she still has it, even some of the ol 8 tracks too. I bought an old stereo, Ward's, a few years ago, that plays everything, from albums, 8 tracks, and cds. Had AM, FM too. And what's so amazing, everything still works. Double cd decks, so u can record from one to another. Amazing machine. Build to last too.
I bought lots and lots of albums, but would take whatever songs i liked, off of them, and record onto tapes. So my tapes were always made up of my favorite music. Someone gave me the whole Beatle set he had just bought, to make him tapes of it. I also have almost all of the R&R from the 50s. on albums i bought thru the years. Used to see them advertised on TV, and when i did, i ordered them. Liked to have the walls shaking when i was cleaning house. lol
What do yall have planned for the week end? Me? Nothing as far as i know right now. Don't like to be out in the heat, so i don't know if i'll even go and watch the fire works either. For being such a small town, it's a great show. The weather has cooled off a tiny bit, and feels like a whole lot, lololol
Gosh, this Casey Anthony trial is gonna drag on til no telling when. Defense has messed up so bad, he's doing everything he can to salvage it now.
Got a goooood book to finish, just a few more pages, had to quit last nite when my eyes wouldn't stay open. Yall tc, hagd

Hate Thieves!!!
Hey DD, glad to know just where u were!! Seriously, good to know that u and ur cousins like to get together, and that u both made the effort to do so. Thx for the pics. Looks like a great spot, even now in this drought.
Out of all the blogs i follow, DDs is the only one i can't post a comment on. So i always comment on mine.
Reading Gypsy's, brought back some bad memories today. I had moved out of a 4 BR house, into a duplex and had to put a lot in storage. Took 2 units. I went up there one day, and found these little rinky dink locks on both of them. Since my son was the only one that had a key too, i called and asked him if he might have changed the locks. NOOOOO,,, So then i called the owner and he came up there and cut the locks off. Empty!! OMG,,well, 1 had a broken mirror left. Found out later 2 more next to mine had been robbed too. I called it in, knowing full well, nothing would ever be found, nor the thieves caught, but one did come up later and take fingerprints off the mirror. Of course, nothing ever found. The only thing that made me sick, and still does, was in 1 box were all my home movie films. All my memories. They were super 8, going back to when my last son was born, and he was in so many of them. He's the one i lost when he was 16, so that still, just kills me. Not that the other kids weren't in them too, they were. The son i have left, i've lost 2, was so good on a skate board, i took him to Austin one time to enter a contest. He should have won it, had that on film too. OK, enough of that subject.
Trying to decide what i'm having for lunch. Nothing sounds good. Yall have any suggestions? Have some of that quicky mac and cheese stuff. Think i might do that today. Just about anything i eat has to be quick. But got so burned out on frozen dinners, that's out of the question. Had those so much when i was still working, don't think i could gag one down now.
No plans today. Been caught up in that Casey Anthony trial, might go to the jury by the week end. I'm fully convinced of her guilt. Just watching her there in court, is enough. And i'm also caught up in my book. They are the kind u hate to put down. Got a whole series to read, love those. It's C J Box,,,the Joe Pickett series. He's a game warden in WY. I accidently read #10 first, now i'm on #1, going thru them in order.
Ok yall, enough outa me today. HAGD

Over the Hump Again
What has happened to my followers list??? Good ol Blogger seems to be always a problem. Are the rest of u having problems too?
HJs and BBs blogs today are so sad, and it's our independence day Monday. I will always salute our flag, and say under God, and Amen. And God Bless You all.
Going back to the lap band Doc on Tuesday, so no blog that day. And it needs a little more fill. I still don't know how much i have, what was put into it during the port replacement. Total capacity can be 9.
Missing DD today. I guess i missed where he was going, just saw where he was leaving yesterday. An hour away, lol. Have a good trip, DD. (Gosh, hope it was for fun).
Saw in the paper where almost all of the state is eligible for low cost loans, due to being disaster qualified. One 72 year old farmer out in West TX said this was worse than back in the 50s. I have a river flow map that is showing here as 22cfs today, not the 1 it was, last time i looked. That is right here in town. So, having a little hope now. And sending lots of prayers.
Weeks seem to fly by, and in just 9, we'll get to Sept, which i always can have hopes of a cool front. Remember one time, kids were young, and had to go swimming at the pool almost every day. This one year, we had a blue norther come blasting down here for the last week end, on Labor Day. They insisted on going, and were the only ones there. lololol,,,they turned blue, life guard was all wrapped up, and probably wouldn't have jumped in to save anybody! The kids lasted about an hour, water was warm, and they had had enough. They had to stay in to keep from freezing. Keeping my fingers crossed, want another!
My son would always "accidentally" fall in any time he got near water, anywhere. So by the time he was 4, he got lessons. He was like a fish, had to wear little fins on his feet, cause he thot he needed them. He learned really fast, and was jumping off the high board the rest of that summer, with the life guard there just in case. OK,, then along comes opening day the next year, he runs down the side about half way, jumps in, and ,,,,forgets to swim!!,,,After he bobbed up about the 3rd time, i told the life guard to please get him out. He never had any fear, and later became a great swimmer on the swimming team. Looked like a miniature body builder at 8. It also cured his little bit of ashma, he got to where he could hold his breath and swim the whole length of the pool. He could out swim anybody at the meets, but never understood that the one he was in, was just one out of others, and he was swimming for time. He ran off and left em, but didn't worry about being really fast, cause he was so far ahead. In all the strokes, too. I loved to watch him do the butterfly. He still goes there if he can do it after hours, to swim laps. Me?,, never a water person. lol
Hunger calling, yall HAGD

Lost in the 50s
Remember that song? Think it was Mickey Gilley's.
DD, i cut my hair into a flat top with duck tails, but did NOT have to use brylcream, had enough body. Others that followed suit, did tho. Also there was a place here in town that got all the 45s taken off the jukeboxes, so i would buy as many of those as i could afford.
Blogger messing up again, quit saving drafts again, then back to doing it. What is going on?
Gosh, so tired today, no sleep again. Might have to take a long nap. Starting pretty soon. Will try to make it back today.

Jail Time
ok Forget about that energy usage thing i was talking about. I have looked back in a few days worth of papers and can't find it. But what it was saying was things like TV add ons, all things that won't turn off, use a lot of energy. The TV might have been one of the worst. The VCR, DVD things are made to not turn off, keep running, so they will not slow down ur TV when u turn it on. The companies say they make them that way because they can. Not required to make energy efficient. And there's lots of other things too. When u look around ur house, how many things are running? In the back ground. Like timers built inside things, TVs, my coffee maker, gosh, all kinds of things. That TV add on was using as much as a refrigerator. Even if it's marked Energy Star.
Didn't do doodledy yesterday, never even got out of my robe. Was so tired, no sleep, that I just made it til bed time, and THEN,,, i slept last nite,lol,,til nearly 9;30 this morning. So, is it time to tell of my criminal record?,,guess so.
Once upon a time, long long ago, back in high school again, we were on Christmas vacation, and a bunch of us were just out fooling around, and got this idea to ride out to the lake and get hamburgers. This 1 girl had a car, a convertible, and volunteered to drive us. The top was up, was winter. There were 7, 2 from Ft Worth, 2 boys from somewhere, and then 3 of us, one the same one that had been in on the coke thing back in 5th grade, lol. So here we went,,,had our burgers, and headed home, just goofing off. The girl driving was kinda keeping up with the music by kinda cutting the car back and forth, just a little. Someone behind us started honking, and we looked back and waved. It was a man in a station wagon, loaded down. Well, he kept honking, and we kept waving, laughing and cutting up. We thot he wanted to pass, so she pulled over at a place to let him, and he pulled up beside us, ran us off the road, and came stomping out of his vehicle, gun drawn!!! OMG, He was furious!!! Red faced, shaking, crazy acting. Told us all we were under arrest and to go direct to jail!!! He flashed a badge at us in the meantime. Well, wow, talk about being scared to death. So, here we went, him following right behind us, still showing that gun. We had no doubt he would shoot us. The girl had asked what we had done, and he had just yelled GO TO JAIL!!! We got into town, and wasn't sure where to go, the court house or where, so she stopped and asked, and again, he told us to GO TO JAIL!! So, we did. She got out and shut the door, but he opened it right back up, told us all to get out, we were all under arrest. We got marched in there, and there sat the Sheriff, and a deputy, their mouths kinda open. This man said he was a sheriff from another town here in TX, he had a 15 year old dotter, and then he spat out the words, that she would NEVER be allowed in a convertible, and he proceeded to rant and rave, stomp around in there, then finally left, thinking we would be locked up immediately. LOLOLOL,,,we did too. The Sheriff just looked at us, said, get out of here, go home, all of you. Did we ever!!. One girl's dad was the Mayor, and she went directly home and told him what had happened. They had all thot that man was nuts too. Never heard nothing else about it, but that was sure another thing i never told my mom. She would never have believed i was totally innocent. Dad would have, but i never told him either. We sure felt sorry for that man's dotter.
Kinda behind today, so yall be good, tc,,,etc.
