~I Cant Go~ :-(

Today was a pretty good day and I promised myself I would be
nice and try to stay calm and not let things get to me. But that
was not to be, and there was no way I could stop it, and it was
not even my fault. I was feelings were hurt badly today for no
reason..and sadly I cannot do anything about it.. I could..but
I have decided it is not worth the time and energy to do any
thing, that the person was just an insensitive clod, and is not
worth the effort to do anything about it.. I could but I wont..
But I wont go and hear that concert of the Highland Parks
Strings Orchestra in Chicago either.. sad to be denied
acess to a public concert because of personal feelings I
think..and to be lied to that the building was not acessible
and it is VERY much accessible.. not very fair, and by the
general manger of the Orchestra..i feel is discriminaton
against me and thats not very fair...really hurt my feelings..

My poor sister is having the worst time..She bought a lot of
new appliances , stove, fridge, washer, dryer, from Menards
and they are all Maytag..They are only months old and all of
them have fallen apart and Menards wont fix them or let her
return them and Maytag says the same thing.. I can remember
when there used to be an ad on TV about the Maytag repair
man and how he would be there right away to fix their things.
that shows you how things have changed.. She spent all
that money and now they wont do anything for her that's so
sad..and my sister is MAD.. shes worse than me when it
comes to MAD.. we both have horrible tempers..

I called and checked on my boy today and we had some
laughs.. He lives on a lake you know.. and he is SO bored
being stuck at home.. he cant drive is his right leg that was
burnt.. He was telling me the ice is off the lake..so he went
down onto his dock and was going to fish..He took the dog
with him..this is a big Chocolate lab now.. Donnie said..he
was sitting on the dock and he had his crutches laying next
to him and Jerky almost knocked one of them in the water!
He said "gran hes a retriever but I don't think he would have
gotten my crutch back for me, and I woulda been stuck out
there till Dawn came home at 5 oclock!" we laughed.. I
could just see him out there trying to hobble back to the house
on one leg- one crutch..and then try to explain what happened
to his other crutch that it was at the bottom of the lake! hes
so miserable being cooped up in that house.. Good thing
he has a computer..

I woke up and I really felt pretty good these pills seem to be
doing their job..I know its too soon to really tell, but I think the
neurontin..which is really for neuropathy helped.. when I
opened my eyes and saw what time it was..7 am.. I was
glad I had slept so late.. Theresa came about 10:30 from
CMH..shes so nice..and I told her of my 'conflict' this morning
over what was just a simple inquiry as to the accessability
of a building.. and wanting to hear a noted violinist play.
I was very upset when she got here..and of course she knows
my medical history and all of what is going on ..she keeps
tabs kinda ...as she said to just let it go and not let it bother
me or hurt my feelings which it already had.. But I did agree
with her.. I have too many other things that I need to think
about and things that got me upset I desperately need to
avoid.. and I agreed ..The boy wasn't as much of a pest today
and only just laid by her side..usually he pulls stuff out of her
pocket or lays on her paperwork..and is just a pain..I think
she enjoys it tho.. LB just sort of winked at her from over on
his chair of course..

We had violent storms this morning and then the sun came
out and dried up all the rain and the itsy bitsy spider went
up the spout again lol..that's such an old song.. but I think
of it every time it does rain...it turned out to be a really
nice day.. the sun was warm and the boys love to lay in
it and get all heated up...and its hopefully maybe spring.
I look out the windows at the yard and boy..theres a lot of
yard work out there.. I get my power chair in time I could
do it.. At least TRY to do it.. I will need some tools tho..
rake etc..I bet I could do it..just be a slow job lol.. but I
bet I could.. the word is TRY.. :-)

I know this is not my usual LONG drawn out post but I
am really tired and getting upset wears me down even
more.. and I do need to go to bed.. lunch was awful..so
I am gonna eat a cookie..:-) they always make me
feel better :-) "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..

    I'm so sorry that happened to you. Ot sounds very hurtful.

    The last time I bough a couple of major appliances the salesman told me that Maytag has not been so reliable lately. I bough a high efficiency front loading Frigidaire washing machine a few years ago and remain quite enthusiastic about its quality.

    I'm glad that the neurontin is making you more comfortable.

    I remember this story about my aunt and me. My mom and I came in to help her to get ready to go somewhere and take care of her daughter while she was gone.

    Anyway, I was in the bedroom playing with Denise who was in her crib when someone came to the door. My aunt was in the bathroom with the door open and asked my mom to get the door (front door, that is).

    This guy introduced himself with a name that was just like one of the names on The Mickey Mouse Club (one of the two hosts). They always promised at the end of the show that they just might be in my neighborhood and would pick me for a Mouseketeer.

    Of course, this was re-runs from several years before, but I didn't know it then.

    So I was all excited and exclaimed, "It's the man from The Mickey Mouse Club!"

    My aunt called out from the bathroom, "No, it's not the man from The Mickey Mouse Club, but I know who he is, and he's not getting any money from me!"

    Then, she went on ranting about how the company for which he worked had come to her place to fix a faulty appliance but hadn't done a thing--and charged her anyway.

    Denise, when she was older, was telling me how this repairman had come to the house to look at her refrigerator because it wasn't working property, and he'd said, "Lady, there's nothing wrong with your refrigerator!" Then, he got ready to charge her for the house call, so she started singing, "Make The World Go Away!" at the top of her lungs, and the repairman looked over at Denise with this kind of expression that said, "Should we call the men in the white coats with the butterfly nets for your mother?"

    Denise told me that this was a hoot! I wish I'd been there to see that! LOL

    Cheers!

    Hi, Honey.
    That was real mean, giving you false information like that. What is he afraid of?
    If your consumer laws are anything like ours, the maker's guarantee should cover the appliance for a year and it is legally binding on the retailer to sort it, especially if the appliances are not fit for purpose. Next time, tell her, try Bosch. Most of my power tools ar Bosch and have given stirling service. So has our clothes washer.
    Thank goodness your pills are beginning to kick in. I have been very worried about you, as I guess all of us have.
    Take care, Honey. L.O.L. & G.B.H. from
