Lots and lots of Gooood Blogs Today

Gotta read Ol Jules today,, tells it like i tried to, about being sent to homes.  I SOOO agree with him.
http://sofarfromheaven.com/  If it's in my power, i won't ever be done that way.  Family care is a thing of the past, gotta face that.  Your kids grow up, and there's never a thot any more about taking care of elderly parents.  My Dad sat down in his chair, fell out and was gone right then.  That's how i wish it.  My Mom chose to go to the Nursing home where she had worked for a lot of years, but didn't last over 2 weeks there.  She HATED it tho.  I did my training for my cna license in one, and it's a horrible place to think of having to live.  Being able to stay in your home with home health care was the best thing ever!  And i loved doing it.

Ok the next thing,, i said i would post a cure for sinus on here, so here it is.  I read this in a yoga book way back when i was having it so bad i would be sick all the time with it.  Taking the meds just dried my mouth out horribly.  So, when i read this, i was the kind of person that would try anything,,and this was simple.  All you do is put your head upside down for 10 minutes each day.  Won't take over 3 either.  I laid off a bed with a pillow under my head, but,,,BE SURE to have plenty of Kleenex when you come up, it's gonna pour out.  Common sense really. Your sinuses are pockets and when you turn them upside down, they drain.  The first time might make your head hurt, but that will be the only time, won't do it any more.  And you're probably having headaches anyway.  OOO,,,don't mean it will give you a headache, just might hurt for a few minutes.  My Mom's doc told her to do that to drain her lungs, she was so prone to pneumonia.  My son had ear and throat infections all the time, lots of antibiotics given, before he was trying to learn to stand on his head,,,lololol,,,and he did that so much he got rid of the ear, throat stuff!!  Back then, there was no vaccine for mumps,,so when my dotter brought them home from school, and he got them 3 weeks later,  the doc said to just keep him from jumping.  WELLLL, i gave THAT up after 3 days!!! That kid was jumping, running, standing on his head,,,constantly on the go.  I just knew i'd get them, but,,when i didn't,,i sure got the vaccine when it came out.

My best friend and i had the boys within 6 days, and when neither one had married and had kids,,,we both started wishing some kid would walk up and say,,hey, your my granma,,,hahahahah.  Never did, and they still have never had any.  Mine says why bring another one into the world, when there are so many needing families now.  He works with lots of kids, thru the church, thru mentoring at school, everywhere he can, and he does take the precautions that go along with that, knowing how the world can be.  He knows all the needy ones, and makes sure they can have something ,(supposedly from their parents) for Christmas... That's why he shops at so many Goodwill stores.  For kids mostly.  He went out to the dump one year and got 4 bicycles and redid them for some kids.  Said he had to quit that ,,so many were donated the next year. lolol,,,New looking ones at the Goodwills.

Had to laugh when he told me last nite, he got a call from some city policemen,  about 10:30 a few nites ago, that they had a coral snake in the park down by the river.  The kids there with their parents were playing basketball, and saw it,,,called 911, and the 2 cops showed up.  They said the kids were jumping up and down yelling,,,call the bug man, call the bug man,,,and they finally figured out who they were talking about, and called him,,,(that's what the kids call him at school, he does show and tell). He went down there and caught it, put it in an aquarium, and made his speech about being careful, and they had done the right thing.  It's a big one too.  He had welder's gloves on, and it bit him on those gloves a few times.  He had taken a coral snake up there last year for show and tell, and all those kids saw it crawling around with that little white mouse...Btw, i put that on youtube,,,look for TROUBLEnTX videos,,,it's the Best Friends one.  Then.. i got to make the MOM"S speech......Do NOT handle that thing, there's no antivenom in the US any more!!!  The drug company quit making it, was used so rarely.  There's another one of my bro Bs rattlesnake pit.  Just in case you want to see it too. hahahahaha.

What am i forgetting?,,,My glasses aren't right.  GRRRRR... Don't know if it's the prescription or the making of the lens.  My right eye sees blurry at a distance.  Checked that out this morning.  Did the same with my old glasses, soooo,,,who knows?,,,Something's not right. 

Wish i had something around here to eat.  LOLOL,,without cooking i mean. 

My friend S called and told me she got a turkey at the store for a total of .11.  Yep,,11 cents.  They have a coupon today that gives you  7.00  off.  I told her i would go get her another one.  I sure don't want one, don't like turkey anyway, without cooking in a smoker.  So i'll do that and pick up eats at the same time,,,

Yall tc, and HAGD

Outcasts

This doesn’t include the ones I emptied.  I kept some of the bottles to put other things in, like, salt I keep on the stove.

WHERE IS BB??????
I couldn’t sleep last nite, got up once for a while.  My hand/wrist hurt.  2 of the prescription bottles had to be pushed down and turned and that’s what did it.  I have asked them not to use those.  From now on, I’m gonna return them!  I have carpal tunnel syndrome, and try not to aggravate it any more than I have to.
I have so much space left in my pantry now.  Just didn’t know what to put in it! lol.  Need to go thru the canned stuff now, get out the rusty, or swollen ones.  That’s right.  Somehow,, they get that way after time goes by.  I could almost quit shopping. 
I’m NOT liking X Factor’s choice last nite.  2 went thru that I sure could do without.  Then that Astro acted like a spoiled brat, and didn’t get kicked off….GRRRRR  I’ve never seen anybody do like he did last nite.  Says,,why should I perform for my life, if I’m already in the bottom 2?  Then didn’t even try.  I will never vote for him again.  Yeah, he’s 14, but,,,so are some of the others.  Simon jumped all over him, but then, voted for him.
Don’t know where these clouds have come from, but it sure is chilly.  Not sure how cold it got last nite. 
Got my oatmeal done,  cya later, maybe.

Close to 2 PM

HA,,,fooled ya didn't i?,,,Been mechanic-ing on a floor lamp, decided to not go get a switch, just throw it away.  Think i put one it before, it looks new.  But, it was smoking and i took the wires off, put em back good, didn't help.  All inside somewhere, so out it goes.  I have a little desk lamp, just right to use.  I've had it in a closet to see with, so,,,all's good.

OK,, just got a call, my new glasses are in, so adios...

Talk About Outa Date!!! NOT ME EITHER

OMG!!! You would NOT believe how old some of my spices are!!!  That has been my project for today.  How could i have moved 3 times, and not thrown them away then???  Mercy!!  Now i sure can't cook, threw almost everything away,,,hahahaha.  When did i ever use lemon peel?  Must have been a one time thing,,My favorite of all is the Mrs Dash lemon pepper.  Makes everything good.  Kept all of those.  White pepper?  Who knows.  Had to use 2 bags to hold all of them.  Even have red pepper,,,kept that, for some unknown reason,,,maybe because it's not outa date yet. lolol.  That darn flour and powdered milk,,,it's all their fault.  Now, if i do make that deer chili,,sometime in the future, i'll probably have to buy lots of spices,,,That is not a good thot.  Haven't looked at my receipe to see what all i use.  O well, another time.

See how i can procastinate?  Yall do that?  Didn't used to, but,,i gained the right,,,back there somewhere, on one of the birthdays.

Hey, got up at 8, and by 9 i was at the doc's office to get those fasting blood tests done.  No problem, since they told me i could drink my coffee with sweet and low, and that was ok.  So,, had my coffee, then got them done.  Funny, they won't tell me the results,,,i have to call the doc.  I want off some more pills!! lol.

Getting a hair cut at 2,,,just the sides and part of the back.  Have done my own for years, but with it cut this way, i can't.  But it goes a long time in between.

They've packed up and moved all the stuff from the site of the F1 race track,  there in Austin.  Not gonna happen.  Well, would take a miracle now.  All about money.  Thot that was all worked out, but,,, nope.  Idiots.  Why did they start the work, without the agreement done?,  Signed, sealed, delivered.

Sure miss that HJ,,,But everybody needs a day or so off,,,don't we?,,,lol.

Well, i think it's dry enough in my pantry to put everything back.  Won't take long, now.  So, yall tc,,,and

A Yearly One

Always great to hear from ur heart doc, that ur doing fine, come back in a year.  wooohoooo.  I've never had any heart problems, but when i had lap band, that was a requirement, a check up doing it all, even a stress test, before i could have the surgery.  So now, i have them yearly.  Not the stress test, not gonna do any more of those.  Had 2, both were normal, that's enough.

X Factor comes on tonite.  All of the 10 left are great, so it's  really bad to hear which one is eliminated.  Still can't pick just ONE, to win the 5mil.  I vote for about 6 or 7, lololol.  This is lots worse than Idol even.  Any of yall picked one yet?

OK, guess yall can tell, i don't have anything to blog about.  Sooo,,,is it better to just be here, saying nothing, or ,,,,just not do one?  My dilemma, today.

Had waffles for breakfast before i went to the doc. and gosh, already hungry.  Have leftover venison, gravy and biscuits, so i think i'll warm some of that up.

BBL, maybe,,,

Great Trip,,,

Did a lot yesterday.  Besides the grocery thing.  Got new glasses ordered, and did it thru Walmart.  Checked another place, and for the exact same lense, they were over a $100 higher.  So,,back to Walmart and got those ordered, takes a week.  O well, i don't care, rather do that than make a long trip.  No emergency anyway.  And,,,got new frames too!,,,They have frames from $9 up!!!,,Good looking, good ones too.  Mine were $25, but geezz,,i love em.  Wasn't planning on getting new frames, because of the price, and these are just 3 years old, and still great frames, but,,i really liked the others.  They're a dark copper color.  I've worn glasses since i was 14.  Tried contacts once, but,,,they felt glued onto my eyeballs, when i was in a car.  Just didn't work.  Besides, i was outside a lot, playing softball, practice, doing all the stuff i did back then.

Went to the famous Bluebonnet Cafe for lunch, had fish fillets, with pinto beans, fried okra, and spinach.  They always serve big homemade rolls, and cornbread.  I always debate whether to get the fish or the chicken fried chicken livers...loooooveee them too.  Then almost always, i get the fish, and with the 2 fillets, was enough left for my supper.

All that promising!!! from our dear ol weathermen,,for rain, and all we got was less than a 1/4".  Very little. 

Stopped on the way back at my g/dotter's.  That's why i got back so late, lol.  There had been an article in the paper about home mortgages not being filed, going thru i think,,MERS, and people don't know it until they try to sell and then find out it's never been filed as being theirs.  It's everywhere, not just here in TX.  I had cut it out for them, and it told how you could check online.  And i guess you could just call the county office and ask too.  Anyway, they had gone thru a mortgage company buying their home a few years ago, and it needs to be checked out.

We had spent a couple of years back in the 70s, looking for another house, then my real estate agent called and said she had it.  Long story short,,it was THE ONE.  Since it was on a Saturday, and we needed to put earnest money down, i just called our banker and asked if they would finance another house for us,,,lololol,,and he said yes.  So,,i gave them a check, went in on Monday and got all the paperwork done, and that's all it was to it...Reason it was 2, is, we hadn't sold the one we were living in yet and still owed some on it too.  That was how our small town business worked.  I could always go in and get a 3 month or a 6 month loan, no ?s asked.  They would hold a car title, but not put a mortgage on it.

Hey DD, looks like WEATHER is headed your way.  Hope it's at least some rain, darn it, i miss your swamp.  lol.

You know, i tell these younger people not to lay out in the sun, or use tanning beds, it's like talking to a wall.  My g/dotter won't, and would never, get out without protection.  She took it serious.  Said she didn't want skin cancer.  I stopped by one day, hot hot hot, and she was out with a long sleeve shirt on, and a cone shaped hat, working in her yard.  About like my son wearing that huge sombrero, and a white long sleeve shirt when he has to stand out on a parking lot at the auctions.  They all laughed at him the first time, but,,the next week, a lot of em had those on. lololol.

hahahahaha now there's a tampon recall.  lmaoooooo.  Bacteria on the tube.  Remember one time, my cousin was down here to hunt, and was asking all the females if they had any used ones.  hahahahaha,,,said it attracted bucks.  Well,,,okkkkk.  But nobody had any. He was the one that was out all nite partying, then went hunting with the others, but stayed in the truck passed out or sleeping,,said he raised his head up one time, and there was this big buck standing over there, so he raised his gun up and shot it,,left it laying.. When the others came back to leave, without anything, he told them there was one laying over there.  They didn't believe him but went and looked,,and sure nuff,,,there it was..  That's how you hunt?,,,,lololol.   Not gonna get into all the stories i could tell about him.  Never a dull moment.

Ok, been longwinded today, must be cause of yesterday, but,,

I’m talking about JoJo, that I see on HJs blog all the time.  Does she have one?  I sure hope so.  If anybody knows, plz let me know.

Gosh,,,I’m just a little sore today,,,and my cut finger is just a little sore,,,too.  Was getting kinda bad last nite, so,, neosporin and band aid time. 

My BD flowers are looking kinda sad today.  Wish they were like these in my bathroom., Stays forever.

DSCF0001

And I did get a fairly good pic of the window,,so maybe you can tell how,,,sparkling,, it is.  lolol.

 

DSCF0003

Gonna cook another pan of venison,,back strap, today.  And made sure I will have good gravy and biscuits this time. lolol,,,Got a couple of mixes for the biscuits, and not gonna use that powdered milk I did before.  I don’t drink milk, so for cooking I keep powdered, and I did not know, it could get out of date, but it was, and tasted bad.  Think I just might go ahead and cook the meat, nibble on it.  After all, I just finished my oatmeal,,,But geeeezzzz,,,talk about that venison, I’m hungry again!

BBL,, probably,,,but, if I’m not.
