~Duct Tape Fixes It~
|   Was a beautiful day in the neighborhood..:-) sunny, not real warm  though, and very windy. I have been feeling still a really cold draft  and realized it is coming from one of my kitchen windows.. Then I  remembered that is one that Chris said he was going to fix, then  this 2nd one here in the livingroom fell apart and he had to fix  it..  The one in the kitchen doesn't even have a storm window on it.. I felt along the sill and its a regular breeze coming in, so I put  a thick towel down. I don't have any good old duct tape..I should  get a roll just to keep here, that tape just fixes everything..I know  Donnie uses that stuff religiously, swears by it ,  and I agree I  always kept some at home..It always came in handy to tape   something if it needed it.. thats like WD-40. that's good too,  handy stuff to have around..  I have been checking out freezers online well for stores near by  and I found one that's small but I think be perfect for me.. I don't   need a lot of room but big enough to put some things to keep  that I like, dinners etc. I found a couple and Penny is going to  go to WalMart soon and see what they have there, it could show  as being in the store online then you go and they don't have it..  Its only at certain stores.. The one here is a super one..it has  just about everything in it.. I hated I couldn't get inside.. I did  one  time when I rode in a car ..but a suv was just too high, would   have been easy to slide out..and down..up up? no just to hard.  Ive been thinking about one of those George Foreman grills  too .. I think that might be pretty good for me..not the huge ones.  but the smaller and Penny did check those out and found I   could get one for $20.oo so I may splurge and get one..well  after I see what my bills run this month they are not in yet or  run through my bank yet..  I balanced my iccky book as I call my checkbook and I have  to say I didn't do too bad, skiddin but ok. lol.. I was off a few  but I have a tendency to round off a bill from like the balance  being dollars and cents to just the full next amount..easier   but when I get my bank statement the ones I have rounded   off usually I balance.. and ALOT of times I have to just put  it away , and NOT do it.. or then I make a pest of my self   with the girls from my bank lol.. they know my voice over   there.. Well- as deep as its gotten they should!! I make these  calls and they all say "Sir"  its ok.. sometimes I tell them that  Im  not..but then if they cant see that Lois is spelled differently  than Louis. which is a mans name really but many spell   mine like that.. in fact my garbage bill has Louis on it..lol.   Penny found my garbage can in the garage..and put the lid   on it and think I should find a way to anchor it to the wall  of the garage,then the next windy day I dont have to worry   which one of the neighbors its visiting..  I have been complaining about not sleeping and the bed is  a major problem..but I think the major one is my boy, I am  going to make some heavier curtains so he just cannot see  shadows. I hate when I have to yell at him or push him away  from the wall. He sees these shadows right above my   pillows.. Ive looked and I see nothing there not even a glint  of anything so what he sees I have NO idea..on the other  wall we realized there was a few pieces of scotch tape,  was hard to see but he did..We see nothing on this wall by  my bed..I  looked this morning for a while to see if I could  see what he does. only thing I can figure out what it is, is  a reflection off my chrome wheel or the handlebars..when  a car goes by or something .. I don't know..or I have a   ghost! lol.  I honestly did think I had one at the apartment. where did my  teeth go? we packed that place up..and unless those things  grew legs.. they disappeared right out of my mouth while I  was sleeping. I don't remember taking them out.but they  were sure gone..just the bottom dentures.. not the tops.. we  never found them. so where did they go? I don't think the  boys ate them..I still don't know how they got out of my   mouth with out me knowing.. I would have woke up, I didn't  but one time to go to the potty, I know I didn't take them out  so maybe they fell out into the toilet  :-) but how would they  fit down it? I wonder if they could be over there in the lines?  all these years ? 3 now.well I don't want them back ,, not  from there anyway..but I am going to find out about them..  I miss not eating harder food.. I asked that smarty man at the insurance company when I inquired about them, and  asked him what am I supposed to eat then till they are  replaced in a year.he said  "babyfood"  I thought that was   so mean.. but well ... I still havent got them..the one thing  I really miss the most? guess ?  popcorn..:-) yup..I love  that stuff.. I sent some to Blue, in AU,, and didn't realize  it wouldn't pass  customs. unpopped corn, so he didn't  get to try it.. I sent some to a friend in the UK and it  was ok to send there..Microwave popcorn is good I really  like the caramel but I don't even think they make that kind  anymore.. I like that the best..I know they sold it out at the   mall .. hot..that was good..I always got some to bring home.  Penny came today and the boys and I were very glad to  see her.. the boys get sick of me.. lol..well Ive been kinda  cranky too and  short fused with them..well no HIM..not LB  hes pretty good except when he wants something ..now  HE WILL let me know..he does. he says "MOM" clear as a bell..people have heard him lol.. Dutch is the one that  tries my patience and I think that stinker knows just how far  to push me, if raise my voice they BOTH run.. I never have  ever hit them and don't.. well no I have smacked Dutch ,  but with a pillow.. I had to last nite he ran over me so many  times I know how a bridge feels  :-)  its that time..and I have  a few doughnut holes to test..time to say "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..  | |||

Duct tape and WD-40 are 2 things that have made America great.
I have never been inside a Wal-Mart because there are no Wal-Marts in NYC. I have been inside and shopped at a Costco and Target. My comment would be that I like the little neighborhood stores. It is very cold & Windy here in NYC tonite. Brrrrrr!

Good Morning Momar,
Yes, I agree, they can fix anything, from taking it apart to putting it back together ..
I like the neighborhood stores too..where I grew up I can name 4 nabe grocery stores my mother shopped at, she always said that it was up to the neighborhood people to keep them going..they are all gone, in fact so is the town now..sad.. but I agree..Like that movie.."The Butchers Wife" a neighborhood store, there are none here, just the big gas station stores or the huge chains..they were the best tho. I remember one even delivered your groceries..just call in your order..that was great..
HOpe the new house is coming along
Hi Mary,
Sunny and nice, made wonderful wall shadows for the boy.
Yes they are, i should keep some here but what things I would need to use them on I cant reach anyway and Donnie when he comes to repair he always comes armed with them.
I hope James is steadily improving. I am keeping him and you and your family in my prayers ,, take care of yourself too Mary, your very special to many people, including me.. :-)
Hope you have a great day , so nice to hear from you :-)
Always, Lois ****

Nice to hear from you..Dutch is more into that clear packing tape..he loves that stuff. I had some duct tape around the livingroom window and when Louis took it off he threw it on the floor, scared Dutch and he sat on it..lol.it stuck to his butt and he couldnt get it off.. I laffed he went around in circles so many times he almost fell over :-) kitties are so fun..when they behave..I need that laugh a day they give me..
Hope you have a good day too ..take care !
Always, Lois ****
