My bro B was in Walmart one day and saw a tablet for 99.00, bought it, and we all were amazed at all it could do.. I looked online and researched a lot of them and bought the DoublePower 9" one with keyboard for 89.99, free shipping, at Walmart. I'm still finding things it does.. Unreal.. Touch screen or talk (voice activated), I'm on it now. LOVE IT!
Well, that's all my news, loving the rain we've had and the cooler temps. Yall tc, an HAGD..
PS: Back on laptop, easier to type. Had to tell you about my bro,,buying the tablet. His g'dotter, 5 yo, was really good on it, and just loved to play on it. Wellllll,,,, bro's mother in law's bd came up and she was leaving on a long trip, and wishing she had a way to entertain herself while she was gone, soooo,,, he gave her the tablet,,,telling little Liz he would get another one ASAP! while she cried her eyes out,,, HA! They were out over and over, the salesman saying they were even out at the warehouse. I looked online and it showed them in stock, and in the meantime so did SIL. She ordered one, messed the order up, reordered, and the day mine came in, so did that one. I'm not sure but I think mine might do more. Really not much it can't do.
Ok,,,that's it for real...

Kinda Sick of it All
Yeah, nothing to blog about, who wants to keep hearing about my hip problem?
Too darned hot to get out,,,who wants to keep hearing about that?
I will say I made it to the Doc yesterday, and every way I sat it irritated my hip, so it hurt the rest of the day. I was released back to the other Doc, since it is my hip. He told me I could have one more injection, but after that would have to be a replacement.
Maybe i'll be back one day, but right now i'm just tired of doing this. I do still enjoy the ones I read tho. Maybe something will change, who knows.
So yall tc, and
HAGD

Working Moms
Just read DDs blog, and had to put my 2cents in.
I think I've told everyone that we married, at a really young age, me, 16, hubby, 17. And I went back to school in the fall for my senior year,,,graduated 5 months pregnant. (Lots of couples at the time were doing this.) Can't imagine it now.
About a year after my dotter was born, I was offered a job in the school superintendent's office and turned it down. (My Mom thot that was horrible!!) But, I wanted to stay home with my kids. Just one at the time, but,,,lol, more came along. In fact, 3 sons. When my youngest started school I started looking for a job, but here in this small town not much to offer. I started doing volunteer work at the library and,,,got offered another job. lol... By a new CPA and his wife. He's the one that taught me the bookkeeping I used for a lot of years. It was part time, and worked really well.
It wasn't so bad for me, because Mom or Dad kept the kids if I needed it, and I did the same for her....Yeah, the last 2 of ours were just months apart. The kids sure didn't mind....lol. The first time that happened, the 2 were, and still are, the best of friends. But,,,let me tell you, the last 2 hated each other from the git-go. 4 months apart. They could just look at each other and start screaming, my sis would start it, but then my son would join in.
Had to keep her when she was 6 months old,,,for a week when Mom had thyroid surgery. Son was 2 months. OMG... Don't know how anybody handles twins.
All in all tho, it was a lot of fun with the kids like that. No one knew whose were whose either. There was also a sister a couple of years older than these 4.
I kinda think mine wanted me to work, so they could stay at Granma's.....
One of my brothers, 4 years younger than me,,,got into drugs when he had joined the Navy, so all these younger ones grew up seeing first hand what they did to people, and never touched them. He ended up being burned to death in his late 40s,,,over that.
Why are Sundays such long days? Doesn't make sense, not any different than any other, now.

Did Add on Yesterday
Just in case you missed it, I added on to my post yesterday, had to after reading about DDs dogs.
Might be starting some therapy for my hip, talked to him yesterday, and he can change it for the hip, not the spine. He's supposed to call today. I think I need it because of the way I had to get around for a couple of months.
I slept good last night, don't know what happened the night before.
Anyway, thx DD, for the good memories.

Think I Feel Like BB
No sleep all night, could not get comfortable any way I tried, feet blazing with the neuropathy, leg telling me I still have the bad hip,,,just a horrible night. Tried to nap this morning, and nope, same thing.
My mower man got the yard all done, and probably won't need it again for weeks, since it's gonna be so hot.
I felt real good about how well I was doing yesterday, so I might have overdone it. Went to Alco and the grocery store, using the electric carts. Have to do that right now. Barely can make it from my car to them.... But I know I need to exercise as much as possible.
I watched a movie last night,,,news, huh,,, about climbing a hill and coming down a mountain,,,lol,,, had to see it to know what that meant. Set during WW1. Not too bad.
Well, too darned tired to think, so yall tc, and

Later,,after reading DDs blog....
Not too many years ago, when I was still breeding and selling purebred Siamese, my female had 6 kittens. I was in my bedroom, reading, and she came in and sat down by my closet door. In a few minutes, she looked at that door, didn't latch, then started calling her babies. They all came running and then she proceeded to show them how to reach under that door and pull it open. That was planning.
Watched a show on tv about that same time, had a cat shrink telling you how to keep them from scratching on the furniture... Said blow up little balloons, pin them to the arms, etc, and when they popped, it would scare the cats so bad, they wouldn't do that any more,,,HA!!! I went to the store, got the balloons, pinned them all over a chair and sofa, then stood back, because they had been watching to see wth I was doing. My male walked over to one, reached up and of course, popped it. I could see his brain thinking,,hmmmm ,,, how about that... let's try that again! Which he did. Then the female got in on it too. Didn't take them long to figure out to reach under there carefully, pull the balloon, pin and all, off, then box it around the room, no claws... O what fun!!! I had busted balloons with pins everywhere. Didn't know how to tell that smart guy he just never had Siamese!

I'm Still Here
My g/dotter drove me to F'burg yesterday, I got the injection and,,, I THINK IT'S GONNA WORK!
They deadened the whole path from the skin down, but at times I did feel the effects of the med going in. AND, it was the places that have been hurting. Just took a few minutes after the prep, then they stand the table up and I walk off it,,,lol. They said it would take about 72 hours, but it's already better. Now,,,if my shoulder was fixed,,,hahahahaha. The way I had to lay, on my back, made my shoulder with the bursitis really hurt. (they went in from the front groin area!).
We made a stop at HEB after we left the hospital, and I used an electric cart, took my time and browsed for quite a while. Got lots of great stuff to eat. One,,,jerked pork, already cooked. Got the slaw too, just forgot the buns....hahahahaha. Some lemon pepper leg quarters to cook with my convection oven. Some stuffed pork chops,,,making anybody hungry yet? I haven't been able to shop in months, at a good place, so I stocked up. These were all things I can just stick in the oven or already cooked. A small bag of potatoes, i'm good to go. Chunk some up, oil and season em, bake em,,,yummmm. Boil with an onion, another yummmm.
Can't keep that up, making me hungry and I just ate.
My g/dotter asked me how I could eat all that junk,,,lol. O,,, yeah,, I had just put 1/2 doz donuts in the buggy.... Sometimes you HAVE to fulfill that craving. Yep, had one yesterday.
That's the update,, yall tc, and

High of 73* Today???
Yep, that's what it is right now, almost 4 pm. And, we've had almost 3" of rain, and maybe more coming. This might beat the one I remember on the last week end before school started, a front making it really chilly. WOW, it's JULY!! folks,,,
Right after lunch I got a call, saying the man that put the gate up across the street, cutting off access to the river, was found dead in a house in Austin Sunday morning. She thot they owned the house too, and he had to have been alone. He was a huge man, alcoholic, and red in the face all the time, never looked healthy. But what makes me so sad, that's the last of the kids this lady had,,, having lost the other 2 before. Played bridge with her in the past, and even tho she's in her 80s, she is still sharp and energetic. Still does volunteer work at the library I think.
I'm gonna try to go clean the floor board out where my son's shoes left all the stickers last Friday. If I can find HIM,,, HE will do it! Hate those things. They showed up here a few years ago, now they are everywhere, grow close to the ground, look like clover burrs, but NOT. They turn into zillions of v shaped stickers and will fill up most shoe's soles. Your carpets will get full of them.
Nothing on tv, again.... but I did find 2 movies to record today. Was running out of those too.
Well, that's it,,,so yall tc, an
