~Hey.. I Did it~ :-)

Well.. guess what I did? I got my digital camera out..printed out

the manual..loaded the cds and took a photo.. well? did I do

good? I think so!! I was just experimenting..but its fairly easy

to use.. but I think it may be hard on batteries.. Ive had it on and

off bunches of times and I did take..hmm 5 pics I think.. Its so

nice though.. I may get in trouble with blogger..they say we are

only sposta put photos 50 kbs or under and I didn't shrink that

one down.. its higher..but looks smaller once I put it in here so
I dont know..anyway...lol.. Im keeping my fingers crossed..

The blogger wants us to change to a new version..well I don't

like doing that.. every time.. I don't care what it is..when I do an

update something always gets screwey. and I hate that.. I steady

scan and run anti virus..and that. I run 2 daily.. AVG of course.

I have the free version, which is just as good as the paid and I

guess since no one is going to the paid..they decided to quit

the free one I think the end of this month.. It is an excellent one,

and it gets along with most everything which is a cause of a lot

of stuff acting up or slowing you down and you think its a virus

and its your anti virus that's fighting.. I have Bit Defender too.

it runs all the time.. I can tell when it gets something..it will almost

stop me for a second on what ever im doing..then let me go on..

I keep a close eye.. But I hate updates..I did my windows media

player and it messed up my Incredimail which made me have to

do a systems restore even.. I hate updates lol.. But I LOVE my

camera.. I do think Im going to get a charger and batteries tho.

My keyboard and mouse both take them as well.. so I should do

that would save me quite a bit I think....I have GOT to paint
that door frame its driving me nuts.. hmmm if I put the paint in
a jar..:-D..I could carry it in here lol. where there is a will there
IS a way LOL ...yes sir reeeee :-)

Well.. today was a phone call day AGAIN..but.. when I talked to

Kathy yesterday about the grant.. she said Que was on vacation..

Me thinks she fibbed.. She did tell me though she lost her kittie.

I feel so bad for her!! She was so upset.. a 10 month old white

Siamese..she paid for that cat..she wanted it so bad..well the

silly thing ..like all cats, think there is such GREAT stuff out there,

and just TRY to escape..mine do all the time.. I have to watch them

when some one is here after they left I make sure they are both

here..just in case.. Well Kathy still a week now ..no kittie.. I bet

someone has him..or he would have come home..well. today ,

Chris called wanted to know if I had heard anything..and I told him

yes and what Kathy said..well we hung up..I called Que..Kathy

answered..I asked if she found out anything.. she said hold on..

Que came on the phone..sounded HORRIBLE .. glad she wasn't

by me.. The flu is going around here pretty bad I guess..lots I

hear are sick.. anyway..between coughs and sneezes she tells

me Chris' Dad faxed the papers to the wrong place..and..well

shes gonna re fax and then he has to re fax, then that has to be

re faxed to the grant people lol.. So hopefully Chris can get

his money.. lol.. What drama to get something done! I do hope

Que gets better tho..she sounded awful.. I bet she was there

yesterday just sick as a dog.. lol. lets hope this show is movin

on again! lol..

I started to call about my chair and decided I would wait.. I got

a whole envelope of papers I have to fill out for my caseworker

and its ALL just repeat stuff of income verification..cuz I got a

whole 20.oo more a month starting this month..I just don't know

WHERE to spend it all at one time :-) a cost of living raise it

says.. that little bit? lol. well I appreciate it though. It does help..

where would I be with out it? THATS a scarey thought.. hmmm.

living in the streets..if I had NO income at all ? I found out that

when I am retirement age, I will have to take a 200 cut in my

monthly money.. putting me down to 400..there is no way I can

live on that.. I guess I can never retire.. My sis gets excellent,

but she can draw off Stanleys.. he gets real good. They will live

quite well retired.. Neither one of them has quit work. I bet she

makes over 300 a week.. and Stan? he will never quit working

he cant.. he would go nuts..Hes like Donnie..they work work

work.. and they just don't know how to NOT do anything. lol but

If they couldn't ..they would be miserable..they cant sit still . like

my mom would say when I was little and fidgety.."Lois, do you

have ANTS in your pants?" lol.. funny the little things we can

remember..they make me smile though when I think of these

things.. Memories I believe they're called..:-)

Ive got some good ones out there in my kitchen of fudge,, and

cookies lol.well no they are still out there so they cant be -YET..

when they're ALL gone then they will be memories.. I better

go have some of that ham salad Dawn picked up for me a bit

ago and see if I can make some Delicious memories of it lol..

and Im kinda tired too. I was up at 5 this morning ..I had to yell

at the kids to stop it.. I was part of their racing around the room

trak ..was NOT a fun thing at 4:30 am lol. Memory making time

so Nitey Nite..

Y'all have a good one now Y'hear? love ya..and thanks..

Always, Lois ****

God Bless you is my prayer today,

I'm so honored to call you "friend";

I pray the Lord will keep you safe

until I write again..
