~My Sewing Room Disaster~

Well today, I really didn't do a whole lot..AGAIN.. I did go into my
sewing room much to my cats delight.. they LOVE that and I really
don't know why when I leave that door open all the time, and I used
to, they didn't really bother going in there as they usually stayed with
in eye and ear range of me.. But I have some of my roses in there
hanging upside down of course, drying out-the ones I got for Christmas.
well that I think those are what Dutch really wants when he goes in
there plus he likes to climb in the closet, up to the shelf too.LB mainly
goes in there to a favorite sleeping spot he has in there on top of my
quilted material ...he knows the good soft spots, Dutch goes in there to
see what he can get into I think :-)

To put it mildly that room is a total disaster.. I went in there..I
know, I remember the last time I got hemmed up in there, well I
was careful this time.. I watched real close where this chair
went.. I couldnt do too much of anything as my power chair is
in there now.. so I pulled up to it..I thought that would be the first
move..get the stuff out of the way..make at least a path.. So I
pulled up facing my power chair..and locked down of course..
and scooted into it..got all settled ready to roll and push my
manual out of there..and just stay in the power one.. well ya...I
just fired that baby up and BLAHH.. the battery was dead as a
door nail.. CRAP! Well I guess one of the times Raelynn went
in and moved it she left it on..and so it lost its charge.. SOOO..
I had to transfer BACK into my manual..DRAGGGG the battery
charger over to the powerchair..and it is NOT a light weight
thing either..But I plugged it into my chair and decided to just
pick up around it and get that cart out of there that hemmed me
up last time.. I bet 3 hrs later I went back to move that power
chair I figgured Raelynn be here tomorrow and we can start on
it and Ill get the chair out etc.. Well CRAP again.. I didnt check
to make sure the bloomin battery charger was plugged IN !!!!
So all that time I was waiting like a big doofus it werent doin
nuthin anyways!!!! DUHHH.. I know .. I know.." SHOULDA
checked before LOIS " I will say it for you :-) lol...Well-- like I
say..every day is a learning experience :-)

So my power chair is at full power again...and ready to roll and
she is parked in my dining room along with that massive cart.
I have NO idea what to do with that or where to keep it.. its so
big. I may offer it to Stanley but then .well they sold their company
so I doubt now if he will need it.. Hmmmm CRAP..im stuck with
this big cart?? I will think of something lol...have NO fear.. But I
think when Raelynn is here tomorrow just this little head start will
help get that room straight.. Then if I can drill a hole in the wall and
put the cable thru I can move this puter in there again..Im still de-
bating if I want to do that or not...I have my old one in there that I
need to really just keep that one in there and then I would have
enough room to still sew in there too...I sure am anxious to get my
old photos off of it.. First ones I ever took of me when I got online
are on that puter and I just couldnt get them off ..

I still cannot burn a cd with my computer even though it tells me I
have a cd/rw .. so I dont understand what is wrong.. I wanted to
make a cd of my favorite songs.. but I tried using windows media
and they say I cant do it.. Maybe im just not holding my mouth right
when I ask permission to do this kinda stuff.. My 3/1 will let me do
anything from my computer..scan , print , whatever..but It wont from
the machine itself.So I guess I will have to call HP again and find out
what happened to that cd they were going to send..since they said
that was the problem...

I got a notice in my door from management.. its a add on to my
lease. a few new rules from HUD. one is that I am only allowed to
have a guest stay in my apartment for 2 weeks..and then they can
not come back for 180 days..I dont know..isnt that a violation of my
rights? Isnt this MY home? they can tell me how long a guest can
stay here with me? If I had a friend then had 3 weeks or a month
holiday and wanted to come and spend it with me.. I would have to
get special dispensation from the manager? I dont know..but I talked to
a neighbor.and she is just as displeased with this as I am. They expect
us to just sign what ever they want us to ..but when we have a complaint
its put up or shut up..or MOVE. I dunno ..but I am kinda upset that they
feel they can tell me how long I can have a guest in MY HOME.yes HUD
does help pay my rent- but that gives them this right? I really disagree
with this and I may refuse to sign this add on to my lease..so I may be
looking for a place to live alot sooner than I had planned..but I dont care.
this is NOT right and let them kick me out. I will live in a tent before
someone tells me this kind of CRAP.. lol. I LOVE that word...:-)


Well there you have my gripes and trials and tribulations of today. I hope
tomorrow is a calm one.however I have serious doubts. Raelynn will
be here and its Wednesday..that means the Apt Manager will be here
as well..and thursday is the FIRST..that means my rent is due. I will just
have to deliver my rent check IN PERSON lol.. well no I think Chris is
gone on holiday again.. for 2 weeks be back next week...Thats ok I can
wait lol...:-) So you know my next words are: "ok Kitchen..ready or not,
here I come." :-) lunch was its usual awful self..so I am hungry..think
eating only once a day I'd be skinny hey? CRAP... lol.. ya me? hahaha
skinny minny dont I wish.. *sigh* nope..just a chickeny GORGEOUS
weeble I am lol you knew I would put my favorite word in there :-)
time to hit publish.. Nitey Nite... :-)

Y'all have a good one now Y'hear? LUV YA!!!! and THANKS :-)
Always, Lois ****

May God Bless you today,

I pray the Lord will keep you safe,
Until I write again...

    At one of the first public demonstrations of Xerox technology to Wall Street executives by the president of the brand new Zerox company, there was a glitch. To prove the system's reliability and simplicity (no chemicals or complicated offset plates), he wrote boldly on a piece of paper, placed it on the glass, and pushed the button.

    Nothing happened.

    He did it again. Still nothing. The audience was restless. Obviously a huge, high profile failure.

    The janitor who was working backstage saw the problem and plugged in the machine. It worked.

    The Haloid company of Long Island City, NY invented the machine in Long Island City, NY - I wonder if there is a historical sign on the building. I was in the room at Calvert Films in Kansas City where Walt Disney first doodled Mickey Mouse. At one time I worked at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC for the Museum of the history of technology.

    Dear Lois,
    Just make the most of that nice, hot weather over there. We had a FROST last night. Management was very anxious for her flowers, but they are O.K.
    Yes, it's surprising how much better those chargers work when you plug them in - helps to turn them on, too!! lolol ;o)
    Take care, hon, don't get a speeding ticket with that power chair!! Lots of love and hugs from
    Raife. XOX XOX XOX

    The lady needs a good charge to get going. Huh. I won't touch that one.

    Yes, Momar, it was when Chester Carlson was demonstrating the Model A. You are definitely right- it was still Haloid then. I was in the wrong decade. I once read a biography of Mr. Carlson. But my memory is that Haloid was always in Rochester. Perhaps I don't remember it correctly.

    I would have loved to work for the Smithsonian in History of Technology. We have some of the same interests!

    Honey dear! Windows media player aint no good program at all when it comes to burning cd´s. My son who is an expert tell me to use Nero Burner. I will check that, mebbe better. uU shud do that to, so you can burn Cd´s for your listening pleasure. Music is good for your soul you know. And whats good for your soul is good for your body.
