Made it fine yesterday,,,,but my feet hurt a lot later. Not from walking either, from wearing shoes. What am i gonna do? lolol,,, and these are diabetic shoes at that. The 2 pair i wear make the balls of my feet hurt, then my whole foot gets sore. It feels like there's no padding there. Even sitting, like most of the day, makes them hurt, if i have the shoes on. I'm gonna try another shoe today, see if that makes a difference.
I just joined the Schwan's pool,,,for home delivery. Somewhere a few days ago, i picked up one of their little catalogs, and found a few things i'm gonna try. Prices weren't as bad as i had thot they would be. Years, (and years) ago,,,when they first started this, i used them quite a lot. The prices kept going up, so i finally just stopped. They were the ones that had the first chicken strips, and i bought em in a big 5lb bag. Gosh we loved em, made a quick meal, and weren't high at that time. I'll let you know what i think about the small pizzas, and the lasagna i ordered.
I went ahead and let the Doc put in 1/4cc fill in the band yesterday, and he was wanting to put in a 1/2. BUT,,i remembered how bad the 1cc was, so i thot the 1/2 would still be bad too. And i was right, the 1/4 is ok, but i had bad indigestion last nite after i went to bed, (LOLOLOL,,,besides my feet hurting) that i finally just got up, took an aleve, 2 tums,,read for a while. I just don't think this is going to work. With this 1/4cc, it's not at the "right" place, and my body won't handle what it would take to get there. Got 2 months to decide what to do. O yeah, i haven't gained any, since Oct. He was trying to tell me,,that as i lost weight, i could have more put in, but,,,it still won't ever be to the right place.
Going off with these 2 others, is a load of laughs all day. The doc's nurse said she didn't know what she was gonna do with us,,,hahahahaha. I blamed THEM for going to the Red Lobster to eat,,,,Then Sue told her, NOOOO WAY,,i had said even if i wasn't gonna get fills any more, i still wanted to go, just to eat there. (we're not supposed to eat like that,,,,hahahahah) And,, we laughed most of the way down there, about something i had heard ON THE SCANNER, a few days ago...And this did happen. Some man called in, said his penis was cut and bleeding bad. WELL,,,WE wanted to know HOW< WHERE< WHEN< WHO<,,,hahahahaha. We found out,,,,LMAO,,,like Sue told the Doc,,,he was pleasuring himself, and stuck a rod up it,,,twisting and turning,,and it had sharp edges!! Can you imagine????,,,Anyway,,,we KNOW it's not really FUNNY,,, but,,,it is. We still don't know Who. But,,we have connections,,,hahahahaaa.....
DD, that sculpter came here quite a bit, to get granite. You would never have known what he could do, nor how famous he was. And i think more so now. Cause this was back in the 80s. I worked as BK at our granite company for about 8 years, learned just about everything about it too. My boss had pics of some of his work, and i was amazed. He was getting granite for something for the capital, in Austin, the first time, i think.
Somewhere along those years, the manager started doing business with some Indians, for India granite. The black was so beautiful. Well, one time someone wanted a statue of the state of TX, so i called them, in their office in CA, to get a quote of that in the black. I told em the dimensions, and to be cut like the state of TX,,,AND he said,,,,,,WHAT'S THAT???? hahahahahaha I had to fax pic. Put me in my place,,,i thot the whole world knew what TX was!!! hahahahah Like,,one time in order to figure the freight, i asked this man where Utah was,,,at least he laughed,,asked where Tx was. It was just one small marker, and i couldn't see how it was worth it.
Hey, lunch time,,yall tc, and

Short Today
Got up way early,,,well, 7:30, and we're leaving at 10:30, so that left me a little time.
DD I knew that sculpter you were talking about. He came here back when i worked for the Granite Company and bought blocks, to work with. Think his name is Moroles. You would never have known he was a famous artist, he dressed in old ragged clothes, just like he worked in, i guess. Jesus Moroles?
Copied my weather thingy from rvsue. Had to contact them to get my settings, since i am so in the hicks here, but they emailed me right back. I just didn't get to it til yesterday.

Mem,,,ories Are Made,,,,of This
I see other blogs, in the comments, that have a reply option. Mine still doesn't have that, so does that mean it's not updated yet? I'm using Chrome mostly, lol, since it works.
DD sure brought up some good memories today. I still can see that ol store where we made lots of trips to, when we were visiting family there. It had the barrels for things too, and an old wood floor, benches outside for farmers, or whoever, to sit on most of the day. A pot bellied stove inside for heat. Couple of gas pumps just off the porch. This was in a place just below the OK border, a few houses, mostly my kinfolks, and that store. A couple of churches too. And ,,, a community center. This was where both my parents originated, so we went up there every summer for a couple of weeks. Us kids LOVED it,,we were free to roam day and night. That old store closed not too many years ago, after a new stop and go opened there. SAD. I haven't been there in so long, about 20 years, maybe, which is a shame. In my Dad's family of 8, there is just one sister left, my fav Aunt, and she's not doing real well. None of my Mom's. Lots of cousins tho. It's just so sad to think about "family" now, doesn't mean what it used to. Maybe because of both parents having to work now, and living so far apart, usually out of necessity. Also, seems to be, to each his own, not helping each other like we did.
LOLOL,,,gotta tell this,,,One Sunday morning, my Dad called and said,,,"which side of the house do yall want to paint today?,,,I'm bar b q ing,,," There was never a thot of saying anything but,,,"we'll take the South",,and the others did the same. The younger kids, teens, got the back. Bad mistake,,lololol,,,. That's what started it all,,,hahahahaha,,,when my bro B painted a white stripe down the back of Dad's black dog. Then someone else painted one in someone's hair. Before you knew it, there is a paint fight going on....hahahaha. But,,,somehow,,the house got painted,,and a few other things,,,And somehow,,,we managed to eat that,,uh,,,ummm,,bar b q....lol. Did i mention we were all black headed?,,, We had so much fun there at that house, and i was a grown up,,,(whatever that means),,We played anti-over, mother may i, pitched pennies, and invented a new hide n seek game. Called it capture. Had the whole neighborhood involved in that. Dad loved having kids around, so all the friends would be there too. Mom said she never knew where she'd find someone sleeping when she got up. In the yard, under a bush, on the porch swing,,,lololol. We played all the old games from my parents childhood, and on back, and hopefully, we passed them on. But i think they are in the past now, and families don't play together any more, like we did. O yeah,,,i did show g/dotter and her hubby how to play marbles. I was there when he opened the bag, but didn't know how to do it. The kids with the steel marbles,,(bearings),,were the good ones. lololol.
Like i said, so many good memories.
OK enough memories,,,well, for today,,,lolol. But they do set the stage for having a good day. Yall tc, and,,

Football, and a Little Baseball
It's taking me longer and longer to do my gitupngo. Maybe cause this is Sunday, lots more paper to go thru. Didn't find a thing worth passing along.
Guess everybody is footballing now, being it's after noon. Gosh, i used to be such a die hard football fan, that that's how my whole weekends were spent. I ran a pot, made it lots more fun. I ran copies of the form for doing picks, out of the paper, and it cost a whole dollar to play. You would be grabbing Monday's paper, checking your picks. lololol,,,lots of fun and made you keep up with all the teams. Then you had to wait til after Mon nite's game, back then, to see who won the pot. Then OMG,,, the pots for playoffs and the SUPER BOWL!!! There were squares, numbers from 0-9, and maybe a couple of others. I never won any of the squares, but i sure did on the numbers. I don't know why i've never gotten into the fantasy, like all the others have. Bro B thinks he lost out last nite when the Saints lost, wow! what a game, on a 700.00 pot. Doing the fantasy thing, with just 7 in it. Somehow, i just lost interest. Maybe because of not doing the picks any more. Quit the Cowboys after years of frustration, and had to live with everybody calling me a Yankee lover,,,,lolololol. Cause i bet with my head. Even bro B has finally quit them. I would be so upset, it would last for days. Finally decided, not worth it. No more fav team. Took each game, bet the one i thot would win, never for a fav any more.
Don't think i ever told about back when my sons were playing peewee, little league baseball. One year my youngest son's team didn't have anybody to coach them, and after a couple of weeks, i volunteered. It was like, WHAT???? A woman??? (I had played softball for about 15 years). There was this BIG discussion, and they decided, welll,,, if my hubby would too, then ,,ok. HA,,He didn't know doodly. So,,, he was named the coach, me, the assistant. This was for a PEEWEE team, not like major league!! That was a break thru, then another year i coached a little league team.
But,,my proudest moment in all baseball history was,,I got a call one day, from my son's coach, asking if i could fill in that nite, he couldn't be there. I said sure. They were playing this team that hadn't lost a game. lololol. I got there and his dad handed me the line up, i told him i had my own. All the kids were talking about not being able to hit off this pitcher, (my son could cause i had shown him how) how fast he was, etc. I told em,,yep, you can, and i'm gonna show you how! So,,i take em off behind the bleachers, draw em the batter's box, and proceed to show and tell them HOW they were gonna hit off this pitcher. It's just 110* that day, so i also tell em to go get drenched at the water fountain,,,they go whooping and hollering, and so the game begins. When each one picks up that big ol long heavy bat, i take it away, say, here use this one. My son's short lite weight aluminum one. I remind each one of how and where to stand, how to hold the bat, and all that good stuff. AND,,,THEY ALL HIT LIKE CRAZY!!! hahahahah. WE beat the unbeatable!! Their coach was standing over there, getting redder and redder,,,and i'm laughing behind my back. hahahaha. We didn't just beat em, we stomped em. Cause with all these kids hitting, their pitcher got more and more upset. Yep, my proudest moment. I broke the mold around here, for being female. I was a lot of firsts.
Ok, i'm gone, yall tc, andd
HAGD
Maybe i should explain a little. I was raised with brothers, neighbors were 3 boys. And thank God, my Dad never told me i couldn't do anything because i was a girl. So i grew up, knowing i was as good as the boys, in sports, games, whatever. I think he was proud of me, being like i was. Heck, he's the reason i learned how to use a hammer, do some plumbing, cause he let me join in. Mom didn't object, but still liked to put me in dresses, made me keep my long hair. Later, they had 3 more, that's how i have the 2 sisters. and the bro B. But not when i was growing up.

Whole New Setup Here
Not sure i like this. Just don't understand why IE isn't right for blogger now,,,really strange. Blogger told me my browser, (IE) didn't support it any more. And like Jojo, i couldn't post to some blogs, got a blank page, going there. Also, just changing pages sometimes, too.
Was sooo good to hear from Hoboroad. Had nearly posted to his blog the day before. Don't know if he keeps up with these or not, if it's not done daily, you would get so far behind you couldn't. I would, anyway.
Been walking a bit, in the last couple of weeks. I've increased a very small "bit" too. lololol. And will keep on. I walk somewhere where i can sit down if necessary, and now it's been at the park. Yesterday and today the stock show is out there, and i didn't see the geese. They were probably up around the building pulling their begging trick on all those people. lololol. I didn't have anything for them anyway.
Well, i'm just sitting here, nothing to say, so,,,yall tc, and

Blogger Messup
OK wanna know why blogger is saying my browser isn't supporting it, try google chrome. Saying that's why we are having problems with comments. Sooo,,what are we gonna do? And why do i see comments on some with "reply" right under them? What's going on? Other browsers? Someone said trying chrome didn't work either. So yall, i've tried commenting today, on several, and just a couple worked. Jojo, you're one.
OOO OYeah!! I did the research on that pneumonitis, and it's just another way of saying pneumonia. Antibiotics cures it, so it does go away. It's not like, if you get it, you're stuck with it for life. Like my COPD. Which, by the way, makes me more vulnerable.
I'm enjoying another new one, Mystic Mud, which is gonna be MM,,,so, thx, HJ. Which is why i'm later and later showing up here,,,lolololol. Lots of blogs to read.
Read about the Parks and Wildlife doing the rabies drops again. Someone said something about spraying houses!,,,NOOO spraying!! It's little packets, like mustard packets you get at fast food places, and the animals chew into them, get the vaccine. There's just a few places now, in Texas, that needs it done. It's been wiped out in most counties. And another thing,, these YANKEE dumbos need to learn a thing or 2 about cattle. Way back maybe 70s, the ranchers here started using donkeys,,YES donkeys, to stay with their herds of cattle to protect them. Just one donkey kept coyotes, and mountain lions away. They stayed with the herds. Now they use those huge dogs, that live out on the range with the cattle or sheep, whatever. A friend bought a pair of those dogs, for $5000. and he had to be on a list, took 2 years to get them. But then he sold the pups everywhere. Ranchers now are into goats and they sure need more protecting. My newphew has one of those dogs, but ruined it by making a pet out of it. And, they still have cattle. Hard to do now, with the drought, and feed prices.
Ok, off my bandwagon ,,,at least for a while. Blogger published before i was thru, so there's gonna be 2, so just read on,,,all.

Blogger Trouble,,,AAAAgain
Thot it was my puter, til I read that others were having problems loading blogs, too. It’s fine with me, if they’re doing some improvements, just get it done!.
Went out and fed these, they were upriver, but swam down to me when they saw me,,,lolololol.
Then,,after they ate, they hovered around and went to sleep. You can see in the middle pic, the white one asleep on one leg, head under wing. They hang around til I leave.
Someone mentioned shingles today, and I had them about 12 years ago. Most painful thing I ever went thru. Every 4 hours I took vicadon, which is something I hate, but with that, you take whatever you can. They were from my navel around to my spine, and NOTHING could touch them. I wore an old pair of sweats, low. Couldn’t sit, either, couldn’t lean back. I think I got them after falling about 2 weeks earlier, set them off. Was misery. They would wake me up during the nite, and I would walk the floor, waiting til I could take another pill, tears rolling down my face. After they erupted, the pain got better. They start down deep, on nerves, and travel out to the nerve ends, erupt in blisters. The “down deep” is the WORST.
Don’t know what I’m gonna do, if I keep finding good blogs to read. lololol. I’ve added several, now more time is spent on them…
DD has me worried, you don’t let blood pressure get that high. NOT GOOD DD!!! I hear ppl calling EMS all the time with it not even that bad. The worst I ever had was about 200/105, but that was before I started treatment. Now it’s too low, I think. Like,, 100/55, or something like that. I don’t do a regular check. I just keep trying to get my Doc to take me off meds.. LOLOLOL. She took me off Atmos about 2 months ago, and now, you see commercials about that, saying call if,,,so n so. If I were you DD, I would be in that Doc’s office, or an emergency room.
Read that homicides as cause of death, has been replaced by pneumonitis,,,Never heard of it, but,,,it’s what I had when my band was too tight. Aspirated pneumonia. NOW,,,what am I gonna do? AND, I don’t know if that one time pneumonia gave me a permanent disease, on top of my COPD. Gotta do some research on it. Supposed to get this thing tightened again, next Tuesday, just a tiny bit tho. What to do, what to do?..
Gotta do that, so yall tc, and
