That's all redneck lingo around here.  Was asked one time, wy (why) everybody was called by initials.  I don't know, they just are.

If u (you) text, u use them, don't u?  I looked them (text language) up one time on google, and couldn't believe the list i got.  But those above r (are) the most used, and i've used them a long time in the game lobbys i'm in.  Never thot that ppl wouldn't know what they were, and thx for telling me.  SS (so sorry) about not realizing it.  You actually spell like it sounds 2.  lolol

That doesn't cover this snapping turtle hanging on my finger cause i was klutz this morning.  lololol,,,Think all those cat fish left, if they didn't they're trapped now.  Our river flow here in town was down to 2 yesterday.  NOT GOOD. 

I can really tell how dry it is, cause my hands r so scaly, can't keep enough lotion on em.  Looking out my back door, i'm seeing 2 hackberry trees with brown leaves, and not from frost either.  These r old trees, shouldn't be this way.  All i can do is hope IF there's ever any rain, they might still survive.  They aren't in my yard, but do shade it. 

Last nite, for some reason, got to thinking about all the good music i loved, in the past.  Well, Still do.  But it was and still is, the ol R&R classics, like AC/DC, ZZ, Nazareth, Janis Joplin, Credence, u know, all that good stuff.  O yeah,,Dr Hook and the Medicine Show,  one of the ones i loved from the first time i heard Marie Laveaux.  Well,,,My bro B was in high school, and i would make him tapes of Hook, and before u knew it, they were gone.  Just couldn't keep em...until,,,now get this yall, i labeled the LAST one as Mel Tillis!!!! hahahahah,,,And i say last, cause no one EVER touched that one!!! lmaoooo.  That was the party music,,and most couldn't be played on the radio, like,,Get Your Rocks Off, Penicillin Penny, Making it Natural, Freakers Ball.  I have em all on albums still.  Bought every one they made.  If u get down, just look em up on youtube,,,will make u laugh, pick u up. lololol.  Music always did that for me.  Not country tho, gets me down.  Cry in ur beer stuff.

Still nothing going on around here.  Might get back here later.  But, in the meantime, HAGD

Wed? You Sure?

TYTYTY Sel.  Gotta let you know, tho, i don't comment on ones that ask for too much personal info.  I'll be reading them tho.  Ol Jules and rvsue do that too, but like i said, i still read them, just don't comment.  I'll put up with screening, like OFM, and filling in the word space, but, i don't know, guess i'm just mostly a private person.  I'll check sometimes, and if u change it, i'll be there. lolol,, 

There's a special on now about these horrible fires.  In paper today, was talking about some toad's habitat maybe all gone, and the toads too.  That's in Bastrop county.  And i had thot the houses were mostly in cedar breaks, but now know it was in pine woods.  About the same.  That's in Bastrop.  All the others in the Cedar, tho.

Have leftovers for lunch today.  Got a child's plate of chicken fried steak with a baked potato for supper yesterday, couldn't eat even half of it, so,,,,I throw in a big hunk of onion and yummmm.   Ok,,,warm up time.

Gosh, just not in a writing mood today.  Yall ever get that way?  And after those leftovers, my head's nodding,,,eyes shutting down.  Might bbl..

Fires, Fires, Fires!!!

Central Tx made national news, cause of these wildfires.  Got everybody on the look out for smoke now.  My g/dotter called and asked if i knew where one was out there, at Buchanan Dam, and i had heard it, but didn't remember the street.  She said they had packed a getaway bag, ready to take off if necessary.  Living right here in town, just a few blocks from one fire dept. i think they can make it before my house would burn down, so all i'll do is like i did Sunday, get in the car and go.  I have a metal roof, and so does the one beside me, so that helps.  Even my sis N,,getting concerned out there.  There's just too many now.  AND, my bro G told me that one of our arsonist just got out of prison, soooo,,,,He's the bro of the fire chief too.   And was the son of the one before.   He never has quit setting fires either.  Been in and out of prison forever.  And now he's back. Lord have mercy.  Here, in this county, cedar trees are bulldozed out, but over in those other counties, ppl have built houses out in em, on the side of the hills.  No sense atall.  Fire just can't help it,,,those trees are like gas fumes,,,go up in a whoosh.  I tried it one time when i took our Christmas tree out,,,threw a match on it, and whooosh,,,ball of fire.  NEVER AGAIN.  That was when i got an artificial one. 

Hobojoe been talking about a sun burn. lololol,,, First time i wore a bikini, was laying out on a raft on the river.  Did fine, cept for that little strip right under my bellybutton.  Never saw the lite of day in my whole life.  Looked like a tomato for weeks.  A ripe one. hahahaha,,,  Got sense now.,,,,don't i?  Hush, yall.  After that first one i got, back when i was a freshman in HS,,,on our class trip out to the lake all day, in bathing suits,,on a partly cloudy day, and everyone knows they are the worst.,,,I knew when to call it quits, but,,,that one spot was totally new to it.  When i got that first one, i couldn't wear clothes for days,,,was so burned.  Had to wear that same suit.  ha ha,, Got my freckles from that.  I wasn't the worst one, some got sick, was so bad on them.  And back then, hobo, even i didn't know the remedies.  Only excuse,,i was just a kid. 

I had an aloe vera plant, and at the change of seasons, i lugged it in,,or out, whichever was required.  One time it BLOOMED!!!  Had 2 witnesses.  Never heard of one doing that.  Put out these 2 long spirals with yellow blooms.  Got so heavy, i left it out, and one year it froze.  But,,,we did see it bloom.  I have a bottle of green gel, and those lotions won't work either.  My niece got a burn one time,,,when they were living in Austin, and they took her to the emergency room and they put menthol shaving cream on it.  That works!  Cools and cuts off the air.  Bet he's never heard of putting a penny on a sting either. hahahaha,,,Yeah,,,we women just KNOW THINGS.  Ask any of us.

Uh,,,how do i?,,,ummm,,,

Sel, gonna look up ur blog address, forgot to yesterday, but i'll be a follower of urs too.  My mind lets me forget sometimes,,,hehehe,,,,,,even when i have the best intentions...

yall HAGD

Labor Day? Monday? Well, OK

Labor Day,,,,means nothing any more.  Monday,,,the same.  That's what happens when u get to where i am.   But,,,this first front?  OOO yeah!!!  Darn crippling heat gone!!!  I even have my windows open today. 

About 5 pm yesterday, tho, i had a terrible scare.  A grass fire on the block across the street to the North!,  which has nothing but an ol house about to fall down, fire hazard.  I heard the call on my scanner,  looked, didn't see anything, but,,,less than a minute later, i saw flames, then less than another minute had come all the way over to my street!!!  And was approaching the back of that house.  That's when i left.  I got in my car and went to the North a block, and watched til they had it out.  They got there real quick.    Had to air my house out later, what with all the smoke.  Then about the time i was ready for bed, they were called back for one spot that was flaming again.  Waited til that was over, and to bed i went.  Believe it or not, i had a good nite's sleep.  lololol,,  We had 3 fires here in this county, but there were so many more in central Tx, was horrible.  Still is.

Took a container of soup out of the freezer yesterday, forgot about it and made oatmeal for brunch.  Well, got supper. 

Boy, there was a storm opened up about vista,,hahahahaha.  NO ONE LIKES IT.  Like someone else said, too, BB, it's just not compatible with anything.  And never gets better.  By the time Dell was letting u choose which u wanted, it was a few months down the road for me, and i had gotten used to vista.  HP was top of the line for a while, might still be.  Back when,,,u know,  (cause i don't know how long ago) my first one was compaq.  Wow,,,only one internet company anywhere around here, (i'm in the sticks)  and we were limited to 40 hours a month!!  Was so slow, i never had a problem with it.   Think it was 256K. hahahaha,,,Won't even get into  the modem not working for months , having compaq pick it up and take to Houston to figure out the problem,,(was plugged into wrong place).  Best Buy went on my *&^%% list.  Took it back lots of times, never fixed.  Even had repairmen come to my house.   Wow where was i?  Think that was the one lightening got.  Yeah kinda sure of it.  Had insurance.  

Gosh, it's 12;30 and still nice.  When that first really cold front comes, i always cooked deer chili or stew.  Loved it.  Now since i rarely cook, don't know what i'll do.  Only reason i have that soup is cause i cleaned out my freezer, found that beef needed to be used.  Lol, i put rib eyes, and chuck roast together.  hahahahaha  Made a good soup.  You seen those boxes of the 6 oz rib eyes at Walmart?  Had a couple of those left.   There are T-Bones too.   Can't eat beef much, now.  Gotta be falling apart tender.

Think i've bored yall enough, for now, anyway.  TC, HAGD

XP, Vista, 7

I'm BACK...Kinda, sorta, missed yesterday, just a little bit of a blog.  Lol, might be the same today.  OOO yeah, now i remember.  Wanted to tell you why i got vista, in a puter.  HAD NO CHOICE.  My xp died on me, and when i had to get one, the only thing they had at that time, was vista.  This was Dell.  My choice of puters at that time.  Soo, anyways,,,i hated that thang from the get go.  NOTHING was compatible, had to change everything i owned to work with it.  Like to never got the printer to work.  Had to contact each company so they could give me the updates for vista..You getting the picture now?  The printer company told me wrong, but finally sent me a cd that worked.  Their web site had left out a step in the instructions.  Whew.  Still not thru.  Spent hours on the phone with Dell, with other things too.  See what i'm talking about?  THEN,  a few months down the road, they had the nerve!!! to give u a choice, xp or vista!!!  So when Windows 7 came out, i was one of the first to get it, and loved it from the start.  When i got this laptop, that's what it had, so,,,didn't take me long to update that desk top to 7 too.  Did that with the download.  Vista was the worst disaster ever.

My nephew that came over to bring my doors in,,said he was in shock seeing the countryside around here.  He's going to college in San Marcus, where there's springs and things, and still green.   I'm still gonna go around the whole county taking videos.  Still waiting, things still dying.  Still drying up.  Like us, BB,,,hahahahaha, had to say that.

Brunch ready, and i'm sure getting hungry.  Got ham steak, potato salad, and v8. lol  Don't do veges well, unless i stir fry em.  Drinking them today.

 Reminds me,,loved that rum too.  Was my liquor of choice, but the lite one, bicardi.  That dark can make u mean,,,didn't u know that, BB? lololol  I was a happy drunk.  Was beer for years.  My bf told me one time, i was the only woman he'd ever known who could keep up with him and still function.  At the time, i was proud of that!  Couldn't throw washers til i had about 3 down, or more, but u better watch out then.  Even the kids wouldn't take me as a partner without asking how many beers i'd had.  Less than 3, was nope.  One time, we had a big bar-b-q, and set up a washer tourny for $1.00 a piece, just to have a pot.  We divided the experienced ones with the nons,,and one man got my 10 yr old g/dotter for his p.  He was frowning, doing his diappointed thang, til,,,,, she threw the first  time.  Was against my bro, B, who won tournys all around here, and when he put one in, she covered it, all thru that game.  After her first throw tho, that p of hers was grinning from ear to ear, and if HE had made just ONE point they would have won.  All our kids learned at a very young age, to throw em, so they could play with the adults.

That front hit about 1 1/2 hours ago.,  Slammed in here, making lots of noise.  Made me look to see what it was.  Wooohoooo.  Know i already told u about the Labor Day weekend when my kids were young, and it got just down right cold.  And they were the only ones in the swimming pool, everybody else had a little sense.  My son never had any body fat so he could just drink something cold and get chills.  This not that good, but sure beats what we've had.

Still no plans, but,,i hate to make plans anyway,  they're made to be broken. 

HAGD

Had a good scare a bit ago.  The empty block across the street caught fire, and in this wind, was going fast.  It's not quite empty, has a huge ol falling down house on the corner right across from me.  That's what i was worried about.  I got in the car and left!  Went over a block and watched til it was put out.  Looked like it started at the edge of the pavement a block over, like from a cigarette.  The fire dept put it out real good.  Kept putting water on all the spots til they quit smoking.  The grass burned right up to the back of that house too.  But i could just see it crossing the street to my side.  whew,, No one lives next door, heard it might have sold tho.  All this belongs to the same people.  Cya tomorrow, just threw this in.

Got Those Doors,,,

Got my doors!!  N and i went over there this morning.  We were barely able to get them out of her truck, so i called my nephew and asked him to come by with a friend and bring them in for me.  They both have glass, wouldn't want them to get broken outside.  Don't know when i will get them installed,  lololol,,,but no problem there.  Got the doors, and the rest of my life to do that, right?  I almost backed out on the entry one, but after i talked to N and she told me you could fasten rods to a steel door, got back on the band wagon.  Now,,just for some cooler weather to install them.  When i'm not having to run the AC.

Didn't go to sleep til about 4 last nite.  Would lay there, toss, get up and read, go back and toss, u know the routine.  We were back in time for a nap for me.  And she also said she was going home to do the same.  She's been feeling crappy for a couple of days, said even had chills  2 days ago, and now has bad cough.  It's going around.  I think that might be what i had several weeks ago.  Know i had hard chills, which i haven't had in about 40 years!!

Had just a short nap already.  Made quite a bit of progress on the huge book.  Just about 500 more pages to go.

Gonna cut this short today, way late getting here. so,,,

Missing ALL That Rain!!!

Eating oatmeal here at 11;30 am.  Never was a breakfast eater.   Back in high school, i slept til 10 mins before i had to leave, jumped up, got ready that quick, and was gone.  Didn't see any sense wasting sleep time.  Now i never set an alarm, well almost never.  Best part of being old. hahahaha.  Should i say, retired?

Told BB he needed a wagon, for all those fish he doesn't catch.  But,,reason i did that, is i have used a big red wagon  always,,since my kids had one way back.  Had to buy a new one a few years ago.  Great to haul stuff around the yard, haul groceries to back door, just about anything.  Course, Sadie Mae would have to ride in it.  Or, maybe she could pull BB. hahahaha.  One time i tied one to our german sheppard, and put my young son in it.  She loved it, but the further she went the faster she got.  By the time she went around the corner, she was running, and that wagon turned right over throwing my son out.  He got up, wanted right back in it. lololol  I led her after that.  Everybody needs a wagon.

I just can't believe all that rain turned to the North!!!  Had such high hopes.  All of Texas getting a drenching.  Pipe dreams.  But did i see a front coming this way?,,,Cooler by Monday?  Probably what ran off the rain.

N told me she would take me to pick the doors up tomorrow.  Nearly changed my mind, thinking i couldn't cover up the top half of glass, in a steel door.  Never had steel doors til i got the back one, and it doesn't have any windows.  All i want to do is put curtains over them, on a rod at the top.  Anybody done this?  Quick,,tell me before tomorrow.  lol.  Need ur help and input here. My bro B would use roofing screws,,hahahaha.

It IS gonna cool down Monday, just saw the weather.  OOO Boy.  My utility bill was up about 40.00, which i expected.  It covers 3 extra days too.  Mid July 14-Mid Aug 16.  not bad.  That's everything, water, electric, sewer, trash. 

Wish i had something to write about.  Wish i had lots of money.  Wish i was younger.  Wish i was thin again.  Let's see, what else.  hahahahaha,,,That's all BS,,except the first one.  Glad i have what i have, i count my blessings every day.  Home Health Care taught me that.  Worked with one, in his 30s, had dived off a cliff, hit his head, became paralyed from the neck down.  Had 2 young kids, a wife he hadn't been married to very long.  Other young ones had bad health problems.  Even the older ones were sad too.  But it made ME feel good to help THEM.  Think i might have told you also, about Big Boy. lol,,Weighed 600 pounds, had to give him a bed bath every day, when i was sent there.  He had a specialy made bed, with bars above, could turn himself.  His legs had broken open from the weight, and the company i worked for was looking for a nursing home for him.  A nurse was by every day to change the dressings.  He was 42.  By the time they found one, he had gained up to 700.  BUT, on the other side of the coin, WE were paying his disability and health bills, because he was fat. 

Any of yall like to play games? Online.  With real ppl.  I play mostly at www.onlinebandit.com.  Just thot i'd throw that in.  I do ludo and painted yahtz.  Have to be good, got kicked off one time. hahahaha.  Not saying what i said, but they are strick.  So when i leave here, i usually play for a while.  Loved games all my life.  Also play rummikub on another.  Got a BIG book to read right now, tho.  About 160 pages in.  Out of 760.

Yall TC, HAGD
