Long day yesterday, lots of waiting. Took over 2 hours in the doc's office. Got the saddle block but not good news about what it needs. Gonna be the most serious surgery he's had yet. Now he's gotta get really onto getting the medical coverage he needs to do it. The way he explained it, the 2 discs above the one pressing on the nerve, will have to be broken in order to straighten up the alignment. What all that will take i don't know, we were in Luby's when he was drawing a picture of it. Please keep him in your prayers. I'll put more on here when i know.
I enjoyed the drive, and i did all, haven't been in SA since his last surgery and that was when we got iced in. Driving in San Antonio is not near as bad as Austin. Just before we left, his back had locked up again and he hadn't had any sleep. The flowers were just outstanding. We didn't stop because we had left a little later than planned, and coming back, just wanted to get home. Got home a few after 8. We did take a few minutes and stop at a huge HEB. He wanted to pick up a few things for his gf. In the seafood dept. I was told that HEB uses fruits and veges grown here, not imported from Mexico, like Walmart does. And their commercials show that too. He's being cautious after that bacterial infection.
Don't ya love that pic of the doodle bug on BBs blog? They always fascinated me, and i know i told you, they turn into a bug like a dragon fly. See how small a one you can find... We used to drop an ant in the holes, watch them grab em. The sides are traps, ants can't get out. I have a lot of them under my carport, but not yet, will be, tho.
We both got ribeyes in Luby's, but they were just kinda ok. Mine was about a 1/3 of solid fat i had to trim off. No special seasonings were added. They brought them out, then went back for the potato or whatever, so by the time you could start eating they were just barely warm. They didn't bring butter, sour cream, had to go back, no steak knife,,,had to go back, see what i mean? Mine was med rare, his med well, and his was about 1/2 the thickness of mine. Like it shrunk while cooking. O well, will know better next time. And this could have been just not a good Luby's. We went there a lot when the kids were young, they had something for everyone. The boys would get the main entree and split it, then splurge on dessert. lol. That was before we found that Poncho's, all you could eat......hahahahaha,, they just ate with that little flag up. It was out on Burnet Rd, in Austin.
NO, I'm not hungry, just ate,,,lololol.
Got that meeting today with city ppl... trying to not forget,,

Over the Hump,,again,,
Not much going on, so gonna be really short today. Been on the phone with 3 different people, about this meeting Friday with the mayor, and us. We have another recruit to help, and he's gonna be there too. I was told the mayor is wanting to just close this whole thing, leaving it like it is, gate and all, soooo,,,we'll be prepared. He doesn't even have a vote unless there's a tie between the council!! So he needs to be keeping that mouth of his shut.
Gonna be gone tomorrow, with my son to San Antonio to his doc, to get the spinal block in his back. I might have to do some driving, makes him sleepy after they give him some stuff. I don't mind driving there, nothing like Austin. I don't know where he has to go, what part, or anything. We're going in my car, i feel better driving it.

Sneaky Company
Another day, ,,,hmmmmm, that's all it is.. Got a kick out of the blogs today.
Got my vitamins ordered, the 2 i need now. I've used Puritan's Pride a lot of years, because they are good, and the prices are better. What i ordered today, was the buy 1 get 1 free. The other choice was buy 2, get 3 free, but i didn't need that many on hold.
I've been sooo mad about a thing i wanted to return, and when i called, they said to wait on their email instructions,,soo,, i did. They want me to pay a restock fee of 20%, which is what i'm so furious about. I guess it was in the teeny weeny print on the order, but i sure didn't see that or i wouldn't have ever ordered from them,, which is AtoZ Companies, Inc. What will happen is, i will have to keep this product because to return it, would cost me almost half of what i spent on it in the first place. I've never had this happen before and i told that woman that, and asked to speak to her supervisor,,which she then told me he was already gone for the day. Supposed to call me back today. Ha Ha! Guess i can use it for a gift,,huh? I've ordered on the internet since 1996, and have never had a company do this. So that's how i totally missed it.
Way back when i was maybe 19, i bought a portable radio on a 3 month note,. I paid it off, but,,,,,they said no. I hadn't kept up with receipts on things at that time, but let me tell you, from then on i did. I paid again because it was my fault for not having proof. Learned a valuable lesson then, and again on this other.
The city mayor has called and wants us to meet with him and our friend on the council, Friday. Said they had been discussing it. Have no idea what this is about, and S doesn't either. We think he might have found out he's wrong,,,and wants to try to put something over on us. Anyway, we'll be there.
Gosh, almost noon and i haven't had breakfast,,,lol,, time to eat something,, yall tc, and

The Day After,,,
OMG!!! Lmao,,got an email from,,marrymesugardaddy....hahahahahah,. Darn junk. I get a lot of junk and use a block for that web site, but it still keeps coming. Hotmail doesn't filter much. But neither does any other.
Went out to nephew's, and no pork... lol. He just never had the time to go out and get one. But those briskets he cooked were so good, who wants pork anyway?,,,They literally melted in your mouth. And the flavor was his specialty, which i don't know, but yummmyyy. He wraps them in foil with all that stuff, opens it later. My niece has a bakery, so,,yeah, lots of sweets, all kinds of pies. I brought home a small plate of small pieces of 5,,,lol. There weren't as many there this year, but gosh, about 10 kids to hunt Easter eggs. I left about 7, and when i got in my car,,,i saw a group of cows up ahead of me, hanging around the yard fence. THEN, i saw where they had licked on my windows,,,hahahahaha, and,,my rearview mirror....My windows are dark tinted, so they could see themselves, i guess. It was just on the driver's side,,all the way. I'll have to clean that off, can't stand it...lol.
Just had my prescriptions delivered, and wooohoooo, no more powders or liquids! I might have to cut that potassium pill, but,,glad to, hated that powder. No more chewables either. Like my vitamin. Gotta get on Puritan's Pride and get a few things ordered. Heart doc told me to take fish oil, and i was told to take calcium too, then i've added B12 and D3. Makes a lot of "takes" a day, huh?
BB asked how to block comments, and i put that on yesterday's comments, just in case you'd like to block someone. Or ban. Guess i don't allow free speech, because I WILL NOT ALLOW BBC TO MAKE HIS COMMENTS ON HERE!!! And if you allow him to make his vile comments, i won't have you on my blog list either. I don't have to read that stuff. Wouldn't you hate to live close to him? OMG,,
Well, i'm a happy person, always wish everybody well, and hope they do the same,,, so yall tc, and

HAPPY EASTER, ALL
I really HATE that i had to read that comment from BBC on Hermit's post. It was vile and HJs blog was no place for a comment like that. Why doesn't he do his own blog and put all his corrupted thots on it? Most of us have banned him, or filter him, soooo,,,HJ,,please consider the rest of us that love your blog. It's really easy to filter comments, just takes 3 clicks, then he can't enjoy his day,,,if he can't ruin someone else's.
I have been reflecting all day about the real meaning of Easter,,,,and i've been thanking God that he gave that to us.
I got my 3 bean salad made yesterday, been stirring it up every once in a while. The only store in town, did not have wax beans, so i just put a can of mixed veges in this time. That's happened before, and once i put in a can of carrots. Going out to my nephew's later, about 3-4 pm. He and his helpers will have that hog just about done by then,,,lol., They will be too....hhahahahaha. One time he cooked a youngun with an apple in it's mouth...lololol.
In case anyone wants to know,,,this is the recipe for the salad: 1 can of @, kidney beans, green beans, wax beans,, 1 small onion, i small green pepper...Marinate with: 1/2 c apple cider vinegar, 1/2 c sugar, 1/3 c oil, 1 tsp @ salt and pepper. Gets better the longer it sits.
I ate oatmeal just a bit ago. Hope that holds me til supper. But,, i can snack,,stand by the pit,,,lol. OMG,,,already getting hungry...
Well, i've messed around on here long enough,,so yall tc, and

Morning Almost Gone
How can i just dilly dally a whole morning away? I do it almost every day, lol. First,,coffee and paper, then blogs. Those blogs take quite a while you know. By the time i get mine done,,i'm into the afternoon. Have to check the tv guide too, catch movies to record maybe.
Haven't heard any more from my son, gonna text him later. It's still early morning there. Does Disneyland have a closing time? Never thot about it.
There was a rescue call out at Enchanted Rock yesterday, then it became 2. One 13 year old had fallen about 30 feet down into a hole, took a couple of hours to get him out, had to go down into it with rope. He wasn't seriously hurt, tho. The other was an 80 year old man that was taken to the hospital in the next county. There's lots of calls out there, lots of people this time of year. My son came back on that road a couple of weeks ago, and,,,there was a line of traffic 2 miles long, waiting to get in. When he finally got to a back road turn off, he turned! lol.
Coming back that way after going to F'burg for Mother's Day, couple of years ago, we saw a huge rattlesnake going across the road, and less than a mile on, there were 3 old people out of their car on the side of the road the snake was going to, taking pics of bluebonnets,,,and we laughed all the way home about, what if we had told them about that snake?,,and how fast could they have gotten back to their car. We know better than to wade around in stuff like that, at this time of year especially.
Nephew doing a BBQ tomorrow, with the egg hunt for all the kids. Think i'll make my 3 bean salad, which he loves, and for that i need to go to the store. The longer it marinates, the better it gets. I always leave the leftover for him, but NOT in my bowl any more,,,lost my largest tupperware one that way. I got some bowls with lids at Walmart not too long ago, but i don't like them. Of course, at any of our family things, there's games going on all the time. Moon, poker, washers, horseshoes,,just about anything. All our kids grow up learning all these, so all play. Might have posted this before, but way back, when my g/dotter was about 10, we paired up a lot of people for a washer tourney, about 20 teams, put her with a man that had never thrown a washer, and his face showed what he thot about that,,NOT GOOD,,,UNTIL,,her first throw! Against my bro B at that. He put 2 in, but,,so did she. That game ended with her and p losing by 1 point. If he had made any, they would have won that tourney. Like my bro B, losing to his 6 year old, and just handing over that 100.00 bill. We just have lots of fun, and kids are included.
Gonna get dressed and think about that store trip. Yall tc, and

Glasses, Coincidences,,,
Reading about new glasses over there in a blog.. I stumbled around for a couple of years, before my parents sprung for glasses. By then i was 14, but i was so amazed,,i could see!!! Never took em off, except to sleep, and still like that now. Tried contacts once, but they dried on my eyeballs, lol, sooo,,,stayed with glasses. I would have hated keeping up with reading glasses anyway. When i had the cataracts removed, i had the choice of being near or far sighted,,,i chose to stay like i am, near sighted. Those reading glasses were why. My mom had great eyesight, but when she finally had to use reading glasses, she sure didn't let anyone see her using them. I walked in one day and she jerked them off so fast, don't know how she didn't break them...Guess being called 4-eyes made her ashamed. This neighbor boy in class told the whole class that the only reason i was wearing them, was to make me look better,,,,hahahaha, he didn't intend that to be a compliment.
OMG,,was doing a text to send my son, telling them i was already there, DisneyWorld, ahead of them, when he called! hahahaha. Wanting to know how to go to my Youtube videos. The man they were sitting by on the plane is from Mason, a hop away, and is here eating at Coopers a lot... The vids have the snakes. When my 2nd hubby and i went to Vegas, there was a man on the plane,,,from HERE,,with his gf, and they were going to the same hotel!....He came over one morning, saying someone had stolen his car at some big casino the nite before, so we took him out to look for it,,hahaha,,yep, it was still there, the only car in the parking lot,,,he just wasn't sober enough to find it the nite before..lololololol. My son is feeling lots better, after those meds took effect. Now i'm glad they went on, on their trip. He said he had to go, they were getting off the plane. Won't be back til late Monday.
I'm so glad i can quit taking the powdered and liquid forms of the 2 meds i take. Also that chewable vitamin,,yukkk. Quitting the one for acid reflux, don't think i'll need that either. It didn't even help. I never had that til the band. She talked me into staying on the statin,,,even tho my cholesterol was l56 last check. IF i can lose some weight, i WILL quit that too.
Don't know about yall, but i'm bored with this, so yall tc, and
