Let's Get Something Straight

Don't ya love it,,vile comments from,,"anonymous"?    Anonymous,,YOU DON'T KNOW NUTTIN!!!  So keep your dam mouth shut.  IF,,i want YOUR opinion, i will ask for it!

Now,,i will tell the rest of you, i have one g/child, and she was born to my dotter as a single parent.  GOT THAT, Anonymous???  My son loved that girl so much, he said he'd always take care of her, and he has, even now.  That meant helping my dotter, doing things for her like a father would have.  We all loved that girl, still do, that it never mattered not having a live in father.  My mom said one time,,about her, that,,she just kinda belongs to all of us.  She was never made to feel inferior, and grew up so well adjusted, she won a full scholarship to Trinity, in San Antonio, one of only 25 the school gives.  She was 6th in her graduating class, with a 96!  It's so hard to get into that school, and then to get a full scholarship?  In music.  She is very beautiful, tall and slim.  And yes, she does know who her father, and his family are, but has no desire to contact them.  Never missed them.  She also, never drank or did drugs.  She married a man that we all love too.  So,,,ANONYMOUS,,YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!!!  In our opinion, they are the ones that missed out.  Times when a child is lots better off without a deadbeat dad, doing drugs.

That kinda made me mad,,,huh?  lololol.

Way too hot to get out now.  I think it hit 99,,maybe that,,OMG 100 yesteray.

I've been changing a lot of my bill paying over to drafts.  Years ago, i used online banking, but quit when they started charging for it.  I don't have but a few bills to pay anyway,, so the ones like Atmos, Verizon, Hochheim Ins. i can do with drafts.

They aren't gonna do anything about the postal service now.  I wouldn't mind 5 day a week mail.  Today's paper said letting it stay like it is for now.

Heat is HERE

Yall see my little weather thingy?  The heat has arrived.  I turned on my bedroom ac when i went to bed last nite, and today, will run the other 2.  I shut off a big part of my house and work them like that, bedroom at nite, then off, the other 2 in the day, then off.  Works great for that utility bill.   I do the same with the heat.  Rarely heat the bedroom tho, like a cold one.

My son still hasn't been by to finish that paperwork.  I'm just letting it lie.  He knows he needs to do it.  Altho he did tell me his back was so bad Mon he was in bed all day.

This girl, his age,, that just delivered my prescription, was his gf for a while back in hi school, and her mom had always been my bff almost all our lifes.  She and i thot it would be sooo cool for them to end up together, but,,nope, not to be.  Since her son and mine, 6 days apart in age, had never married and had kids, we also thot it would be so cool,,if a youngun contacted us and said,,hey,,ur my grandma...I even asked mine once, if any kid had ever told him that he was their dad.  lololol.  We DID want grandkids...

I still haven't seen the geese out at the park, and it's getting too hot out there for me.  I lasted about 30 minutes yesterday.  Almost all of it has been cleaned up from that disaster on the weekend, just one Ben E Kieth truck bed there.  That's the budweiser company, the warehouse was built here.  Did i ever tell you about a beer truck roll over way back, gosh, about 1980?  We picked it up and guess what?   That truck was fully loaded, and not one bottle, or can, of beer could be used, had to be taken to the dump.  Let me tell you,,,it didn't get there fully loaded after it had sat in our shop for a few weeks,,,lmaooo.  We had beer running out our ears...hahahahahaha and so did all our workers...So what, if it had been shook up a little?,,We sure didn't care.  And that caretaker out at the dump?  Sold that stuff for a long time...

I'm still in the old blogger interface, don't know how long it will last, but,,,gonna use it as long as i can.  Nothing else going on,,so yall tc, and

So Upset, Just Now Can Write About It

Gonna be hot from what i can see for the next week,,and on, and on.  About time to take the cover off the front AC.  Rain?  HA.  At least my yard, (not a lawn) won't need mowing.

I went to see a woman that until about a week ago, i didn't know had been put into a nursing home here.  I stopped by her house a couple of times,  no one there, and then one day when i drove past, there were empty boxes on the front porch, and 2 big boys out in the back, doing something.  That was when i suspected.  Then someone told me yes, she was.  That visit upset me so bad, i still have trouble thinking about it.  What is bringing this up, a friend called me this morning and had been by too, and was just as upset as i was.  The last time we had seen her ,,,at her home, just a few weeks ago, she was sharp as a tack, using a walker to get around, but in no way ready for a nursing home!  Now, we think she's so drugged she makes no sense when she talks.  I asked her why she was there, what had happened, and she didn't know.  They took her walker away, has to stay in a wheel chair.  WE think her 2 daughters decided to do this to her,,to get her out of her house so they can sell it.  And all her possessions.  She had signed everything over to them years ago!  I looked in the phone book and the one dotter i would talk to, isn't listed in there.  The friend is gonna get it, then i'm gonna find out some things!  I played baseball for years with this person, then worked with her in an insurance office for 8 more years.  This is giving S and i nightmares, thinking,,OMG,  that could be us!  She's the same age as my Mother, and her oldest dotter is my age.

My Mom worked in a nursing home the last years she worked, and would watch for things like this.  She was a charge nurse.  Had seen it lots of times.  It's the place of family to stop the drugs unless THEY want it.  The docs will over-medicate to keep patients quieter.  Anyway, this has really horrified S and I.  There, but for the grace of God, go I.  S and i both said, we will never sign property over while we are alive.  I feel i could trust my 2, but,,,,,,

My leg is healing good.  It's gradually going away.  My camera stays in the car, or i would take another pic.

All my news,,so yall tc, and

Time For Indian Blankets

 

These were just outside of town.  Several fields of them.  Not as many as I’ve seen before, but a pretty good showing.

GROSS!  This is one of the bites on my leg, on the back just below the knee.  Was hard to take this pic, too. lololol.  The other never got like this, and it’s well on the way to well now.  I know it was a spider bite, not a brown recluse tho, but I don’t know where I got it. 

Found Jude with this when I went out for the paper this morning.  Hate that it was a cardinal, not a mockingbird.  They nest just outside my kitchen window in the old crepe myrtle.  I have never been able to see the nest, but have heard them waking up there.

Kingsland has had 2 bad fires at the same time.  Arsonist?  One was a house fully engulfed, then another about the same time with 2 sheds that ended up catching the house too.  They called for mutual aid all around, and have finally gotten them under control, doing mop up.  Sure is suspicious.

Sundays are long,,,longggg days.  So I went out and got the pics.  I don’t know why they are so different.  Growing up, it was church day, then the afternoons were spent socializing.  Then church again Sunday nite.   Later, got into football during the pro season.  Now,,nothing.  Maybe that’s it.

I had to redo all this post, cause I clicked on an update.  I guess this windows live writer doesn’t have the draft thing.  I couldn’t find it.  I’ll remember that,,,

So,,,yall tc, and

Order of Nachos,,,With 3 Chips?

Gosh, i don't know how to tell anybody how to find that little gear thingy,,,i just click on design, and the page it goes to has it in the top right.  And what i'm hearing, not gonna last, but i'm gonna use it til i can't.  Then i might look into other options.  Sometimes i post from windows live photo,,maybe that will work.

About 5 pm yesterday i decided to go to HEB in Kingsland, and eat at the wonderful Mexican food place, so off i went.  Nachos sounded so good, and that's what i ordered, a 1/2 order.  I was in shock when it was brought,,,lmao,,it was 3 chips!!! loaded up with stuff, but,,,3???  I looked at it, and asked,,is this it?  The waiter then asked if i wanted a full order, which i said no,, cost a lot more, for 3 more chips?  Uh, no thx.  So, ok,,i scraped off almost all of the stuff, was too much, and ate the chips out of the basket with it, and actually ended up with a lot, eating it like that.  And they were really good.   Might just get them again,,,lolololol.

Got to HEB,  and wow, it was so busy, you could hardly go down any aisle.  I had thot the rush would be over by that time,,HA!  got worse.  Then checking out was a long wait in any line.  Didn't matter anyway, i wasn't in any hurry.  LOLOL,,,nearly got that way, cause i couldn't go to the restroom, they were cleaning them.  But i made it back home, got almost everything unloaded.  This was my  monthly trip.  It cost me 8.00 to go there, and i might save that much, but, there are things i can't find here,,like my liquid sweet and low, the charmin i like.  And coffee is so over priced here, i almost save 1/2.

I never made it out by the park yesterday so i don't know how it went for them,  heard Fri nite was free, and i didn't think there were many people there, so, with the overcharges for Sat, i wonder.  They fence off everything now!! and it cost you 10.00 just to get in, then the plates are 20.00.  I haven't talked to anybody that likes this situation.  Maybe they'll go broke,,hehehe.  Good ol CofC.  Used to be a fun and good thing, til they got involved.

Loved that little duck cartoon HJ had today,,,thx HJ!

New Blogger Interface???

Finally!!! found out how to set this back to the old interface.  It's a little gear looking thingy on the top right, says nothing.  If you click on it, there it is, a choice of old one.  Under the Overview tab.  Gosh,,,too early to do this.  That was AFTER i had sent off a comment about how much i hated the new one,,,hahahahah.

Talked to N this morning,,long time,,lol.  Her setting hen lost all her eggs, just a few days before they would have hatched.  No idea how.  There were just broken shells left in the nest.  The pen is too good for animals to get in, so maybe it was one of the other chickens.  She's gonna separate them next time.  She was laughing about putting seven dust on em, for mites and ants.  Just one didn't seem to mind.

Did i mention these horrible bites i've had on my legs from the knee down?  Well, 2.  Was getting a little concerned about one, but this morning it looks a bit better.  Itched like crazy, been using an itch cream for days.  Had to have been spider bites.  I changed all my bedding yesterday, down to the mattress, not because of that, just cause of time, so maybe that will help.

I really really need to go to that HEB today.  I did fill my car up, which i do when it's halfway down, and ran it thru the car wash.  That's been overhauled and works a lot better, but that spot free rinse doesn't work.  I have spots to prove it,,lololol.  The force of the water shook the car, so it cleaned lots better.  Don't much care about the body part, but when my windows get bad,,that's it!

Told You My Memory Leaves Me,,,Sometimes

I got into other things, and totally forgot i didn't post on here yesterday.  For one thing, i was on the phone about 30 minutes with my computer man, cause for 2 days i had snailnet.  Like slow dial up speed.  I had tried all the stuff he had told me before and it didn't help, so i called and he took me thru a lot more.  One was using speedtest.net and i had a horrible ping and speed.  We ended up deciding if it stayed, i would call verizon, had to be them.  Well, today i'm fine, guess they fixed their problem.

Aww heck, our thunder and rain is about gone, was just a speck.  Barely dripping off the roof.  But,,, that wind out of the NW is cold,,,,yeaaaaa... Getting heavy rain just S of here.

Also, yesterday morning, i went back into all that paperwork of my son's and got it in order, filled out as much as i could on that app for his medical help, and now, it's waiting on him to come by to finish up, then take it to Lampasas to be sure it's all right, and they will send it in.

Boy, that policeman that shot that man's dog is in double trouble!  To start with, he had gone to the wrong house (in Austin).  Had his gun drawn, then when the dog ran toward him, he shot.  No questions asked!!!  It's gone viral, you probably already heard about it.  You can go to www.statesman.com and get the story.

It sure is dark,,,still.  Just saw flash of lightening again.  Maybe that rain isn't gone.

I went out to the park yesterday ,,saw a city worker there and asked about the geese.  He said they were just a ways up the river, setting.  Like i had thot.  It's been about 4 weeks now, they should be showing back up, hopefully with little ones.  Son J told me they were out there 2 days ago, just after dark, and they saw some things swimming around all over the place, and these little things finally ended up just below where they were, and came out on the mud bank.  It was 12 baby beavers!  They didn't move a muscle, didn't have the camera in hand either, so they missed it.  I told him you just never know what you will see on this river.  Things that don't belong here, but they will be there.  I had always heard my Mom talk about swamp rabbits,,up in East TX, and one day, we saw one here in the river out W of town.  Ground squirrels,,(sooo cute), partridges, that hung around with the chickens, til something ate them, roosting on the ground.  One night when we were leaving the ranch, a black panther ran across in front of us,,a young one.  A hunter later told us they had shot at it, and my hubby sure put them straight on that!!  Leave it alone!! Or get off the property!  We had called a game warden, and he had told us it was just passing thru, going to a new territory.  Of course, we have the mountain lions, even a family out at my sis's place,,on the river, of course.

Getting a little more rain.  Won't ever be enough to measure, don't think.

Well, got my bed half stripped, need to get to that.  Will need it finished later...lol.  So yall tc, and
