Do You Do This, BB?
After I retired, my wife insisted that I accompany her on her trips to Target.
Unfortunately, like most men, I found shopping boring and preferred to get in and get out. Equally unfortunate, my wife is like most women - she loves to browse, so I had to learn to while away my time.
Yesterday my dear wife received the following letter from the local Target:
Dear Mrs. Harris,
Over the past six months, your husband has caused quite a commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this behavior and have been forced to ban both of you from the store. Our complaints against your husband, Mr. Harris, are listed below and are documented by our video surveillance cameras:
1. June 15: He took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in other people's carts when they weren't looking.
2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.
3. July 7: He made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the women's restroom.
4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official voice, 'Code 3 in Housewares. Get on it right away'. This caused the employee to leave her assigned station and receive a reprimand from her Supervisor that in turn resulted with a union grievance, causing management to lose time and costing the company money.
5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of M&Ms on layaway.
6. August 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.
7. August 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told the children shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring pillows and blankets from the bedding department to which twenty children obliged.
8. August 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he began crying and screamed, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?' EMTs were called.
9.. September 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it as a mirror while he picked his nose.
10. September 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, he asked the clerk where the antidepressants were.
11. October 3: Darted around the store suspiciously while loudly humming the ' Mission Impossible' theme.
12. October 6: In the auto department, he practiced his 'Madonna look' by using different sizes of funnels.
13. October 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through, yelled 'PICK ME! PICK ME!'
14. October 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he assumed a fetal position and screamed 'OH NO! IT'S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!'
And last, but not least:
15. October 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited awhile, then yelled very loudly, 'Hey! There's no toilet paper in here.' One of the clerks passed out.

Just a Little Update
Just checking in,,,gosh can't believe it's been about a month,,,nice vacation.
I'm so glad tv is getting something on again. IE, the new shows, etc. Overlapping ones now. Like tonite, X-Factor, and the finale of AGT. Just gonna watch the second half of that, after all, they won't announce the winner til the very end.
I had my eyes checked,,,told them I knew I was late,,,lolol. They said,, try 2 years...Then I find out they haven't changed. Got an update prescription anyway, because a place in Bee Caves, (closest to me) would give me 70% off a whole pair. I've hated the ones i'm wearing since the day I got them. G/dotter drove me there, about 60 miles down 71, and found out they had to send it off, would take a week!! Not an hour! Told em just to mail them to me. I'm NEVER having them dilated again,,,ever. It took all day from 10AM,,,to come back close to normal. And I don't think they've done it yet! That was the day before, tho.
That's joining that stress test,,,the "not gonna do's" anymore.
My hip is fine, still, and that sciatic nerve is good. My doc told me to double my gabapentin, for my neuropathy, and it's worked. I quit the therapy after I asked if it would help get over all that and she told me no, but it would help prevent it in the future. That wasn't enough for the pain it caused by just irritating the hip and nerve. Now I found this little remedy I had cut out of the paper, saying eat 9 golden raisans , soaked in gin, every day for arthritis,,,,lol. Won't hurt to try,,,huh?
Keep forgetting to get my flu shot,,,,think i'll just do it right now, and get a bottle of gin too.
I'm still keeping up with the blogs, and sometimes I miss a day or so. Don't blame you for wanting time off, BB, and i'm still not going to do a daily for now, but will check in every once in a while.
It's a shame TX didn't get that run off from CO and NM,,,we need it so bad. Only the Rio Grande.

New Tablet
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

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
HAGD
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!
