Back Again

Just saw a road runner out in the street coming home from the post office, running into the yard where they used to nest,,, They're BACK... love those silly birds.

Had this almost finished, and just touched something and it alllll went away... makes me not want to redo for sure.

I changed companies for my diabetic supplies, and had to take the ones i had to the post office, sending back for credit.  The meter never worked right from the start.  That's what i've done today,,, lol.  Called the new company and got all set up with them.

My son took my car yesterday, put freon in the AC, changed oil and filter, and rotated the tires.  I'm good for a long time.  The AC needed it last year, but, didn't get it done.  My car is a 2003 so i don't think it will leak out any time soon.  Took all these years to get at this point.

I bought a bottle of salad dressing at Alco a few days ago, and took a bite yesterday and OMG,,, i was burning... lololol.  It has jalapeno in it.  Now, gotta get another bottle just to eat a salad meal.  I can't tolerate hot at all.  So instead of a salad lunch, it'll be another sandwich.  Maybe, salad for supper.

My sis has been without TV for a few weeks, and her antenna she was hooking up, wouldn't work without that box for older TVs.  She put a tv on layaway where she works, Alco, but it'll be another couple of weeks to get it.  So, i loaned her my box, and she called later and we went thru everything i could think of, and she's just getting one channel.  During the nite, it hit me,,, you know how something keeps niggling at ya,,, i think there's a switch on the back of her tv that needs switching.  The channel she gets has a huge tower just outside of town so that's why she's getting that one, i think.  Anyway, i'm gonna call her later when she gets off, and tell her to look for that.  I have one TV on my antenna, and had to get that box when they switched to HDD.  The other 2 i have, are on the cable and had the HDD.  Have i confused everybody?  lolol.  I've had to use that little TV sometimes, too, when the cable goes off right in the middle of something.  It gets all the locals.

May Almost Gone!

Here it is, almost 11 am,, and it's 73*, and light rain, drizzle.  NOT 95-100*.

There's a lot going on this weekend, including blue grass music all day today on the square.  I just drove over there and not one parking place anywhere close enough to hear... So, back home.  I sure can't walk all that way, then no where to sit.  There's a big motorcycle meet just outside town too, i'll drive by later.

Heck, i love sitting here with my back door open watching the little bit of rain dripping off the roof.

My blood sugar just keeps on getting higher every morning.  It was 184 today.  I have an appointment with my new doctor for Wed... so i'll find out what to do.  I'm not eating different, nothing else has changed either, sooo,,, who knows?

I'm reading a series of books by Nevada Barr, about a park ranger.  The one i'm on has just covered her helping fight a forest fire, then going thru a firestorm, using the "tent" thingy while the fire went over.  Wow.  Learn something new in almost every book i read.  I always wonder how the authors get all that research done to write about things.  I know in this tech age, it has to be lots easier.

My bro B is bar b qing later today.  A nephew and his family are here from Sherman.  Well,cousin.  lol.
I keep getting better with my hips, back, all the time.  I walk excellent now, it's the muscles in my back that gives me problems now.  Not the joints.  That's why i still can't stay on my feet very long.  BUT,,, no pain walking!

Did yall know that you can't buy a hamburger at Sonics any more?  What you buy now, is a cheeseburger, cut the cheese for a hamburger!!  And of course, you're charged 3.79, and don't get a discount for cutting cheese.  Have any of you ever heard of such a thing?,,,

Well, that's it, folks,, tc, and

Hate Google!

Did you know you can't get rid of Outlook.com,,, nor Gmail?  I've spent hours and days trying to do this,,,, NO WAY... I took googlechrome off today, had to put it back for some of the things i use.  Like, blogger,, coundn't even do a post without it.  I even spent a couple of hours on the phone with Verizon,,, and it didn't help at all.  Even they can't seem to do it.  I keep getting a pop up message saying my Verizon account is almost full, need to add an extra account,, HA, can't do it.  AND,,, WTH happened to OutlookExpress?  Who knows,, it's just gone.

I have watched that darn cat video so many times,,, and LMAO every time!!  I know you've seen it,,, it's been everywhere... My Mom had a cat just like it,,, she could just see a dog, dogs, going down the street, minding their own business, and here she went,,,catching those poor dogs by surprise, making them yelp and run... no matter what size.  And o Lord, help those that dared come into the yard.... hahahaha.  Go to this on Youtube,,, if you are the only one that hasn't seen it,,, hahahahaha.
Heroic Cat Saves Kid from A Vicious Dog Attack!.

O yeah, we got 3" of rain,, total.   Was fantastic!  Bring it back!

My doc is leaving!!  Horrible!  I went yesterday for a final visit,, good thing, today is her last day.  Since my calcium was up higher on the 2nd test, she had a parathyroid done.  I had a bad charlie horse in my calf days ago, and it's still not quite gone.  She also froze off a little, kinda scaly spot on my face, thinks it's ok.  She recommended another female doc... too.

Just saw that cat vid again!! hahahaha,, the news channels love it too.

My first X, with the car lot, said he needed some curtains, and the next day i remembered i had some like he needed.  Wide narrow windows.  So i dug them out, still had em from my last house,,,lol.  Took them to him and also told him i would cut off and re-hem new ones, if these didn't work.  He checked my car ac, said it was low, and some time he'll put in some freon.  Now, isn't that worth the exchange?  lol.

This one news channel has shown that cat vid,,, 3 times now,, in just the one hour.... hahahahah,,

Gosh, the Voice, and Idol,, both ending next week.  Hope there's something coming on in their place,  i know So You Think You Can Dance will be.  I've always loved music, and dancing.

Been a While

I don't know how i ever did a blog daily.  Even now, it seems there's nothing to say.

I left the house yesterday to get milk,,, got distracted i guess, and soooo,,, this morning i didn't have milk for breakfast.

I've pretty much been staying in out of the heat.  Where i used to get out and go to the park, or somewhere, now,, too hot.

The last 2 mornings, i've gotten up with fire ants on my kitchen counter, and had to spray, clean, and hope they didn't come back...   Well today i used another product, supposed to leave a guard to keep them out.  We'll see.  I looked outside and can't see where they're coming from.  LOLOLOL,,, they're not as bad as the maggots i found one time... hahahaha,,, got out of bed, went to the kitchen for my first cup of coffee, and just stared.  Right there on my counter was this HUGE mountain of maggots!!!,  Squirming around!  I just looked, got my coffee and left.  During that first cup, i was thinking about those darn things, so when i went back,,, i did look up above on the upper cabinets, and there was the source... wood ants,, dropping their larvae down!!!  Done it all night i guess.  There was a smaller pile on the other side of the sink.  I scraped all of em off, and threw them out..  No more ants!

Got this big vase of flowers yesterday,,, from my dotter, for Mother's Day.   So pretty.  Still hoping we get together tomorrow, tho.  Haven't heard nothing.

With all the rain in TEXAS yesterday,,, not a drop here!  Just kept going around.  Don't know whether i believe we'll get some or not,,, Mon-Tues.  Said 3-4"  HA.

O yeah,,, all my scanners have just become obsolete.  They've switched to digital, and i've been researching,,,  The one i think i want is called Homepatrol.  Says you enter your zip code, and it sets itself.  Gonna call Mon and talk to them with some questions.  A man here, told me there were 2 different ones, and you had to get the right digital one.  What i was seeing didn't say anything like that.  I have 4 operating now,,,lol, 3 gotten at garage sales,, but with the price of these new ones,, i'll have to make do with one.  Just over 400.00.

Ok, back to my chicken salad making.  O,, have yall ever burned eggs boiling them?  I KNOW better than to cook without my timer!

Same ol, same ol

Well, it has cooled off, had to use some heat earlier today.  NICEEEE.

Also, had a starter put on my car,,, hope that was the problem..  When i was putting it in the car book, i saw where i had had one done about 2 years ago....Battery in Oct.. soooo,,, who knows.

I did get out and go do the early voting.  There was one person i wanted to see on the city council.  He gives em hell,,,goes to every meeting, asks about the whys and whatnots,,, like the spending, etc.  Keeps them honest.  They even kicked him out of one not long ago.  lol.  He sure won't be a yes man to anybody, like others that get elected and forget who put them there.

OOOO yeah!  The new mayor and city manager looked over all our street closing folders, told us we were right on, (told him i knew that,,lololol) and that gate had to go!  So in the near future, that street will open up again,, and also, one that got closed years ago by a city council that didn't have us to stop it....haahhaha.

But, by then the river might be all dried up... No rain, lakes getting worse, just don't know what will happen.  Back in the 50s, i remember the river drying up, a cracked river bed.  Water was brought in by train.  You sure couldn't' water anything, barely could bathe,,,lol.  Then, it came down in a big roll, was lapping the bottom of the bridge by the time i got out of school.  Never has done it any more,,, yet.

Giving a report right now on tv,,about the drought.....

Saw a sign of termites a couple of weeks ago,,, again.  Every few years, i've had to treat my house for them.  The house i used to have, that my bro B has now,,,had them once,, was treated, and they never came back.  That was when they could use the good stuff.,, That worked.  DDT? lol don't know.

Time for supper, Idol will be on in a bit, so yall tc, and

Found It

Yep, found that clippie.  It was in the corner,, like, a 6" space, behind something.  Don't see how it could get there, but it did.  When i had one of the teeth filled that it fits between, it's never fit as good as before, and the dentist worked on it a long time,, til i got tired of doing it, lol.

My g/dotter has posted something on facebook, about earth porn, and it has the most amazing pics.  I have cabin porn, gonna look for others now.  I put one up as my screensaver, and it is soooo beautiful..  A red fox curled up,, in Canada i think.

Took my cover off my front AC, and i will be using it later today,, i bet.  Says upper 80s for Austin, but we get a little warmer.

And, i have to go to the library today too.  Just like a few pages in my last book.  I usually get 3.  Need to find a new author today.  I've read all of James Burke, and Wm. Barnhart.  I have a list of good ones so it won't be hard.

We got a pretty good rain late Monday,, kinda stormy.  Had quite a bit of hail, up to a 1/2", and a few quarter size.  I think there was lots more up the river, so maybe it'll get on a rise.

That's all i've got, so tc, and

Back Again

Darn it, i've been looking all morning for my clippie, tooth, and still haven't found it.  I even went thru the trash,, yuk.  Wasn't a whole lot in it, tho.  I always take it out, and put it in the holder with water, and it's not there.  Soooo,,, have NO idea where it could be, now.  I take it out after i eat supper.

Way back, i was eating lunch at a local bar b q place, and the last bite i took, had something hard and broke that tooth all the way thru the root.  Had to go right then and get it pulled.  This "clippie" just snaps in and has worked so good.  Guess i'll stay toothless there,,,,lol.  I think it's the eyetooth.

My car is still starting, and a couple of times sure did take a long time to do it.  I still wonder every time if it's going to or not.  Kinda bad.  What if i have to go out of town?  At least here, i can call for help.  I carry jumper cables, and the 2 jumper boxes quit working.  If it does it when i'm out somewhere, i can at least see if it's the battery or not.

I don't know how many of yall like the games online, but my favorite is www.onlinebandit.  It's with real people and has lots of different ones.  I like ludo best.  Painted yatzy is good too.  I think DD mentioned them.

Yall keep your eyes out for my clippie,,, lol.  And tc,
