~ITs SNOW Time~ :-)


We are under a severe winter storm warning with a
possible 8 inches of snow coming at us..Penny came
today and I had her run to the store to stock up with
food for the boys. Never know ,,just in case.. I have
plenty for me, and if worse came to worse they would
more than likely eat people food if they had to.. Dutch
will taste every single thing I eat..LB well hes like a
Garfield,, very very picky. Penny said the store was
full of people getting supplies, I try to keep stocked up.
I learned the hard way, but then when its a valuable
lesson usually it is hard to learn it lol..

I had no choice but to make some phone calls today,
which of course I did. I had to call Sandy about the
potty stuff and well I still have NO idea when it will be
delivered I guess when I hear the knock at the door.
She is not impressed though and is going to of course
'make some phone calls and call you back".. So then
I made the WONDERFUL call I really enjoyed.. NOT!
I called Wright Filippis about this all terrain vehicle I
have parked in my bathroom... He made me so mad
with his "ummm, ummm, errr, ahhh, my computer is
slow" and then made the mistake of saying HE was
the one picked out what to send me.. I asked him
did he sent this tractor just to make me mad? His
response was "I sent what I thought you would need"
WRONG ANSWER.. I sat for a minute.. I asked him
about my new chair..will it have 6 wheels? was it a
left handed drive? what kind of cushion? And WHY
did he not push the paper work through? his chain of
answers made me so mad I LOUDLY stated.. " COME
and get this chair out of here, get my new one and IT
had BETTER be like my old one, not what HE thought
I needed" and hung up..called his supervisor Rob..he
was out sick..then called the next in line which was Kim.
So this Bulldozer will get out of here. Im anxious to see
how they get it out of my bathroom I hope they have to
pick it up and carry it..lol. Im so mean ..but hey..this is
just so very old.. And im really sick of it. Sandy is with
Adult Protective Services.. I told her this has reached
the abuse stage and she has agreed..

I have planned ahead..and knowing this storm is coming
I have switched my appointment to next week.. When I
talked to Sandy she is going to make arrangements for
me to maybe go back to visiting physicans..and have the
Dr. come here to see me instead of me going out which I
honestly prefer.. If it wasn't such a big deal to go I would
go out but if you could see it outside here.. I would have
to go out onto a busy snowy slippery street being pushed
in a chair around the side..down to the garage where they
would have to park to pick me up..these 2 streets are 2 of
the busiest in town, which im sure they would wait for me
to load up..but to me to have to be out in the street that's
just not safe, and I am going to be that for sure no matter
what I do..well I do take some chances here but the biggest
risk I take is possibly falling out my chair..not getting run
over by a truck lol..big difference.they both would hurt but,
one could be fatal..and geez everyone would just miss me
so MUCH!!! :-)

I have ..well Penny put in the crock pot a nice big pot of
some beef barley soup..it smells so good in here, I havent
made that in ages. and I love barley, she picked up a nice
little roast and cut it up and did the potatoes and its on a
slow simmer, I Know how good its gonna be, and before
I go to bed of course I will have a taste.. I have to call and
check on the kids of course.. I havent heard from my girl
Kelli in a while so I hope shes doing ok.. last I heard she
was fine. I had a run in with a now former friend yesterday
and have decided it best to ignore it and consider the
source and avoid all contact, I think sometimes that is the
best way to deal with unstable people, and I feel much
better getting that fixed. its very sad though that it had to
happen all because of memory loss and jumping to the
wrong conclusion..but then like I said sometimes those
lessons are hard to learn.

The lesson for today is..well hmmm..don't get a chair from
John at Wright Filippis? lol. I had to say that...no same
lesson..just keep on rollin..and looking up..and those
rought spots well they arent as lumpy you think..get some
good music playing in your ear ..dance around in your
chair and well life aint that bad .. :-D specially when you
got some good beef barley soup waitin on ya.. :-) its that
time.. Nitey Nite.. :-)

Y'all have a good one now Y'hear? love ya.. and thanks :-)
Always, Lois ****

Ps..they came and got the chair!

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..

    Hi Hon - just a quickie - no chance for much computer time this week.

    Good luck with the chair. Big storm here - just started snowing - a bit of everything expected. Snow - then rain - then sleet & freezing rain - back to snow - then deep freeze. Should be fun fer sure.

    Thinkin of you always.

    Bare Hugs,

    Butty

    Hi, my name is Frank Lee Goodfellow ... I am an expert on heavy machinery. I think you should call the motor chair dealer who supplied the machine you have. Have them paint it highway yellow, put a big sign on it "CAT DIESEL POWER" and afix a snow plow to the front so you can take in out plowin snow and make a few $$$ with it ... I mean it looks big and cumbersom enough.

    Yeah

    Hehehehehehehehehehehehe

    Hope your stayin warm and dry!

    Hi there Lois
    The snow has gone from here and today it is 9c and the sun shone all morning! Germany was wonderful as usual, good food, lots to drink, good company and excellent singing. What more could a woman want?
    Glad that you got rid of the chair - I have never seen once so cumbersome - the comment about hiring yourself and chair as a snow plough was good - you could have earned a few $.
    Keep warm my friend - we are half way through February - spring can't be far away.

    Hi Julie!! good to hear from you :-)
    Ive heard Germany is a lovely country I would love to take a tour of Europe. cant find anyone to take me though ..ratz . lol..

    Really nasty out..and gettin worse as the day goes on. the joys of winter lol.. Ya..that might have been fun to go out and plow for people bet that would make the newspapers! lol, probly be on the very back page this time tho lol.

    The boys are snug and Dutch is monitoring the road out side..we 3 may just take a nap. My gas bill headache has gotten worse..130 bucks.. *sigh* i am turning DOWN the heat even more. maybe Chris will decide to fix these windows. sure be nice if one time he kept his word. :-)

    enjoy your warm and sun..and think of us snow kitties over here :-)
    have a nice day
    always, Lois ****
