~Lovey Doveys~

My lovey doveys are back..They have really been out
side a lot lately..And they are always together, they arrive
the same time and leave...The sound they make is so
nice.. a very mild soft COOOOO...I can hear them inside
the kitchen ... I cant tell which one is the male or female
as they are almost identical, maybe they are both male
or both female? possible but they sure stick close to each
other...
Notice the bird feeder is empty, now that Penny fixed
the bag in the garage all the birds are back to the feeder..
I should have known something was wrong when I didn't
see them out there hardly eating it.. I looked out once and
saw the black squirrel running out of the garage..well HE
probly is the one opened the bag to feed everyone.!. Well
its for them anyway but Penny went out and looked and
she had to come back for the broom and dust pan they had
such a mess... I know they sure like those sunflower seeds,
those are in that bowl that black stuff is the sunflowers... I
should have planted them !! I wish I had thought of that!
wonder if its too late to plant some..if they would grow ..

I know my dad always planted them along the side of the
garage by the garden.. When those things grew they
were over 6 foot tall..and the birds went nuts..A field
that a farmer has up north, he grows sunflowers and
when they are ready,to drive by it, is breathtaking its
so beautiful.. Flowers are such a good thing.. I wish I
could have some live ones in here..but with a plant and
flower eating cat..well its NOT possible...

I was sitting at my desk this morning and it was really
quiet,I thought Penny had gone outside.So I called
out "Are you in or out?" no answer, I said again "Are
you in here?"... I hear a voice say "Me?"... I laughed
so hard. like who else is IN HERE ?? No one had
better be! :-) Penny got us all clean and ran to the drug
store to refill a prescription for me. When I was in
hospital I started new meds and now have 5, plus an
aspirin every day.. They claim it helps, so it was added to
my others. My cholesterol was out of sight so I have to be
on a med for that and of course my thyroid and BP ones.
I'm not a pill taker and I have to keep them right here by
me.. I try to take them the same time every day so I
remember if I took them.. Sometimes I forget and then I
don't want to take a double dose for a day that
wouldn't be good..Drop my blood pressure like a rock ...:-)

Lunch wasn't delivered till 1:20 today, I had been getting
it about 10:30..I don't understand what is wrong with that
place.. I asked Chris when she was here and she said
their computer isnt mapping out the routes well enough.
Maybe they need someone else on the computer that can
do it right? I did call CAA and had to leave a message, I
called BigDaddy Ken, left a message there too.So hopefully
I will get a call back..if not today or tomorrow I guess I will
have to have a phone day Wednesday too.. I told Penny
she can be off Friday since its the fourth..she doesn't have
any plans till Saturday when its her grands birthday. I asked
if she would stop by and just take out the trash and do a few
small things for me..From Wednesday to Monday is a long
time..well for someone like me it is..

Well out of news for this day and I'm gonna work on that
story I said about LB and his girlfriend.. I got some of those,
no ..Penny did, those ice cream little nuggets.. Dibs? I had
a whole box full,but when the kid comes that's the first thing
he looks for are those,he ate everyone last time.. He or Dawn
are sposta come by today, if its Donnie I am NOT telling him
I replaced the ones he ate! If I want a taste that is !... I'm
gonna go eat some first ! I'm done for today so that means
its time for my GORGEOUS WEEBLE "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 .....

~Sunday, Sunday~ :-)

Quiet day today, rainy and miserable too all morning..by
lunch it was sunny and nice.. I didn't get any phone calls
and no visitors..been very quiet..but was a good day..gave me
a chance to play with my webcam... I had a note on my post from
day before yesterday insinuating that my boy is the cause of "my
nasty sore" in the photo of him..hes NOT the cause of any scratches
or anything .. He bites.. and leaves puncture wounds ..not sores :-)
I'm NOT allergic to cats...Maybe you know something I don't?
I told Dutch that and you can see he wasn't happy :-)
kinda mad hey? Dutch plays very rough but so do I...
and he only uses his claws on the tires of my chair to
sharpen them.. if you try to pet the boy..like I warned
Donnie yesterday, he will bite you...if he doesn't know
you he will.. Dutch doesn't really like Donnie cuz he teases
the kid, ran that truck into Dutch 3 times! :-)
This Vista I don't know if I like it or not.. It makes me feel
stupid.. The smallest thing you do it asks you.."are you
SURE you wanna do that?" well yesss, I clicked on it ! I
hate that..the whole screen goes black then the window
pops up asking you.. I notice the colors are more intense
which I like but the start? I don't like how they have it at all.
Took me forever to find the sound recorder and my spider
solitare.. I do like this new sound recorder though..it will
let you record as long as you want to with out watching
at each minute to make sure you click it to keep recording.
I record songs off the net that way that I want.Then I have
a converter, dbpoweramp..which is excellent..they record in
a different format and I have to change it, so the converter is
good also will compress a mp3 into a wav which is good as
they arent as big... I LOVE music, that's what I do most of the
time is go to all the different wav sites and listen..

I havent had time to do a story of the kittie porn I promised, Ive
been working on another story a friend asked me to write.. I
am seriously considering it as I would like to write down all my
travels since I started on this road trip so long ago.. and I think
my sons would like it..I don't think I could ever really relay it all
to them in conversation..so this might be better.. I do have my
journal to help me with where and what but I didn't Start that till
in the 80's my first writing was on January 9, 1983.. that's the
year I lost my left eye...well I didn't lose the eye.. just the sight
in it..:-) The joys of tree work..

I havent gotten a return call from BigDaddy Ken, so I guess I
will have to make some phone calls tomorrow , to him and to
Nonnie at CAA.. I hope he will do something about that tree.
well I don't guess he can other than talk to the neighbor and if
he doesn't want to take it down I don't know then.. hmmmm....
I will have to find out..Its dangerous and threatening.. I don't
see why HE doesn't see the danger in it.. With the storms we
have been having I'm surprised it hasnt come down.. I noticed
the trees here in this town and there are TONS..but I noticed
there are no tree services here...Probly why theyre in the
condition they are..and the way Asphlund cuts them I wouldn't
let them cut my grass with scissors !! :-) I hope he does do
something..plus I havent heard anymore about the woman hes
gonna have do the basement.. I wonder what hes waiting for
on that.. I think BigDaddy either needs to take notes or get
a secretary to take care of business for him..They never answer
their phones .. always a recording then you don't get a call back
for days sometimes weeks! Bad business....

Well I have NOT eaten today at all.. I had the best morning tho,
I chatted to my son in England.. hes so very nice..I had hoped
he would log on yahoo and he did..just made my day... I wish
his brother would get in touch but Ive not gotten but 1 mail from
him.. which he probly just needs time..because I'm their mom
doesn't mean they have to like me.. I have some relatives I don't
like.. speaking of which I have to call and find out about my
brother..His wife hasnt called so I guess I will have to phone them
to see how hes doing.. Busy week end for them their daughter got
married saturday..well his wifes daughter.. I will put that on my
telephone list for tomorrow... I'm hungry and out of news..so its
time for my GORGEOUS WEEBLE "nitey nite" :-)

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

~Start With a Bang~

Today started out with a bang.. a massive thunderstorm woke
us up.. The kids ran and of course when they did that they woke
me up cuz they were laying on each side of me ! LB was on my
right so when he jumped straight up I didn't notice that much..but
Dutch when he took off he ran straight across my chest and THAT
woke me. Usually one of the rules for living here you have to adjust
to the fact that when we have a bad storm we will either lose cable
or phone or both.. Usually cable it was really bad for a while just a
light flash and it would go off...As the morning wore on though it
cleared up and got warm its 80° out as I write this.. and it sunny
and nice, the boys are layin in the sun.. I was going to put the pics
of LB and his girlfriend today but I got in a discussion with a friend
and the time slipped away and I had lots to do so...I didn't get a
chance to write it..I will maybe tomorrow..The piccy is just of one
of the little birds out by the feeder..I love taking pics :-)

My Angel Food was delivered today and boy did I get some good
stuff I ordered 50.oo worth. the main bunch is 30 then you can
add other boxes of meat that you want.. I got a nice steak and
ribs and sausage as the extra.. it will last a long time.. plus there
were 2 TBone steaks..those I like.. not often, as I'm really not a
meat eater.. A nice salad with vinegar and oil dressing..is good
for a meal for me, but every once in a while I like meat and usually
I have a burger or meat loaf..The food today was great and it
will last me for a long time.. Since I wont be getting the canned
food box anymore from CAA I just have to start watching the sales.


Although I did look up on line about CAA and their food boxes..We
get one a month, and then every 3 months you get a 2nd box.. I
looked on line at how you qualify..so unless theyre fibbin..I don't
have to do anything for the 2nd box but ask for it.. I refuse to give
the CAA my personal insurance card info OR my social security
number.. I'm registered with the Dept Of Human Services and I
have been getting this stuff for 6 yrs.. I don't know why I never
paid attention to this.. yes I do.. I NEVER had to fill out anything
when I was renewing my card..like what would change anyway?
I was gonna grow back legs and not be disabled anymore? I'm
not giving them that information..it was the same with COA they
wanted ALL my personal info too.. I'm NOT giving out my SS
number to anyone for any reason.. its too easy now to have your
id stolen..not that I have anything worth stealing - but still why
take chances.. I plan to call CAA Monday to verify what I read..
I have a feeling they made up their own qualifications. I hope
they keep better records over there now.. that one woman kept
everyones file in a box under her desk! I had needed some paper
work from them before and the woman took the envelope in HER
CAR and it fell on the floor..a month later I called to inquire what
happened.. well she found my mail..under her car seat.. bad
job skills I say and if that's any indication on how Nonni does her
job..well I think they need to revise their work hapbits a bit...

The kids were due to stop by and as of this writing ive not heard.
They were going to check out a new kind of wood stove that burns
green wood,, no smoke, ash, creosote ..nothing.. and it costs over
7000 dollars.. a lot but he plans to heat his whole 4 bedroom house
tri Level .. and his garage.. AND his hot water..He gathers wood all
year, hes got a fire place now he uses to heat and only uses the
furnace for back up.. Its a great wood stove I read up on it, its by
GREENWOOD... So the kids may be getting one of them Its worth
it if it does all it claims.. I know they will be here as I told Donald I
had some food for them so I KNOW he wont go by with out stopping.
They have to go right down 131 which is only 2 blocks, in fact I can
see the light down there thru my living room window...Which the sun
is pouring thru right now making my ceiling fan not much good. I may
have to turn on the AC.. In the winter the gas is outrageous.. in the
summer its the electric.. I don't know how much energy this fan
pulls, I know its really nice in here when its on.. the air circulates and
it helps spread the cool from the AC since its in my bedroom..

Well not much news for today, I am working on another story that
I promised a friend I would write, I had told some of my escapades
and they asked that I write it out in story form.. I plan to and
then maybe add it to my other life stories..I bet if I wrote every
single story I would be writing every day for 6 years :-) Now its
time to write my GORGEOUS WEEBLE "nitey nite" :-)

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya and THANKS!! :-)
ALways, Lois ****

~Gettin Attention~ :-)

You see how the boy gets my attention..he jumps up on the
side of my chair. He sticks his feet through the opening and
stick his claws out till he grabs my arm and I ask him what
he wants..Usually its to play with his red light lazer..They
both love that thing and will play for as long as I do and I run
out of steam before they do!.. :-) Hes started the wheezing
just like LB and I still say its this house...I have some cute
photos of LB with his girlfriend that are really cute, and I may
put them here but I shall forewarn they are kitty porn :-)
The tree at the corner of my fence is just beautiful. I have NO
idea what kind it is..Ive never seen one like it before..I have
only seen it in photos but it looks soft like those leaves or
what ever are very light looking..Look closely at this photo
and see if you notice anything special about it...Look close.
Theres a closer view of the tree.. When I saw that picture I
said to take note of, when I saw that I immediately called Big
Daddy Ken..Look at that HUGE tree behind my pretty one..
Do you see how DEAD it is?? I saw that and just about
freaked out.. How DANGEROUS is that??? The storms we
have been having with all the wind..I'm surprised it hasnt
come down yet.. I had Penny go out and look to see whos
side of the fence its on..mine or the guys in that pink house..
Guess who's?...:-)
Well THERE it shows just WHO'S tree it is... Not MINE!!! I
called and of course Big Daddy wasn't there and I had to leave
a message.. Well all I can say is I have proof of this tree and if
that puppy comes down and lands on THIS house that guy next
door is gonna be VERY unhappy..I cant believe that he is risking
HIS house ..well maybe hes hoping it will come down in a storm
so he doesn't have to pay to have it taken down..and..since I WAS
in the tree service for over 20 years.. I would say not too many
tree guys would climb that tree and if they don't have a bucket
truck..that's the only way that baby will be able to be taken down
SAFELY.. Ken better call me back and come over.. I want his email
addy again so I can send him the photos... I have it on my other
computer but that doesn't do me any good now. But Big Daddy needs
to have a serious talk with that neighbor.. I wonder if there is any
one else I could call, so that unconscious neighbor will take that tree down..
I bet hes got a lot of insurance..but then like I said hes maybe counting
on that thing falling on mine or the other neighbors house that you see
behind it..as TALL as that tree is it would hit it.. That tree could do
a lot of damage.. Makes me nervous as I sit and watch the sky turning
dark and a storm coming..well if a bloomin tornado itself don't get me
it probly would be that mutant dead tree!! *sigh* :-)

I had a fish sandwich for lunch and I was so hungry for brussel sprouts
I fixed some of them. I had a bag in the freezer..Those are one of my
very best favs.. Donnie was telling me about his ex sis in laws garden
and how hes ready to get some good tomatoes and veggies.. He promises
me EVERY year he will bring ME some but the bag Mikalena sends for
me never leaves DONNIES! :-) I am SO ready for some friend green
tomatoes.. Fried I know is not good for you..but as little fried stuff as I
eat, I don't think a few fried green tomatoes will really hurt me..To stay
healthy ya gotta eat healthy..which I really try to do..

Penny came today and we are all squeaky clean..Tomorrow they are
bringing my angel food that I ordered again..Its a nice box of food for
only 30 dollars, well worth it and its all name brand, not that off the wall
stuff that you've never heard of. Time to close this for today and wait
for Big Daddy to phone.. I hope he does..I know he wont do anything
over the week end.. he needs to soon tho.. I'm done for today so its
time for my GORGEOUS WEEBLE "nitey nite".. :-)

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

~Rebecca Says Hi~

Good day today too.. I have been in a happy mood all week.
I am most grateful.. I talk about Rebecca from Keystone..Well
there is a new picture of this cutie..Isnt she pretty.?. I told her
I was going to put these here today and she laughed.. I told
her I was going to make note to point out her RED toenails!
:-).. Then you see she moved them in the next photo :-D .Shes
so very nice, and has a young son Tyler, hes 3 or 4 I'm not
sure..She has a boyfriend :-) I had her to wave Hi at ya! :-)
Shes really good at her job..well you can tell she takes
it seriously..Look at her, how shes dressed.. so nice and
neat..a dress... She gets comfy when shes here and takes
her shoes off, I covered them over so the photo looked
better :-) Shes very at home here when she visits, which is
how I like all my company to feel..We talked about my
grant of course and she re assures me every time..She is
always offering to help me do things and one was to get
my hair ALL ONE color !!!
You can see I have MANY shades of hair and I, to be
honest would LOVE to have it all one color again.. Its
just so hard with the shower set up I have. But I told
her that perhaps between the two of us we can figure
something out I'm sure.. My hair is getting so long, I
have seriously considered getting it cut..but Ive always
had long hair cuz I like it.. I can put it up, braid it, do
anything..classy it up or put in pig tails..:-) Last haircut
I got was back in ... hmmm 03 I think..been awhile..The
lady that did our hair at the hell home did people at
home so she came and did mine..Shes gone, moved
I think..I wish she was here.. I called the beauty shop
here to have it done..would cost 35.oo..well..I know its
such a treat to go there but..well I have better things to
spend that money on than my hair ! I have my priorities.

I was relaying a few tales to a friend about my travels.. When
I left PA and went from there to Jackson, Mississippi..then to
Nashville,Tennessee, then to Tampa, Florida, then I ended up
in Houston and Pasadena, Texas.. I guess that song "I've been
everywhere" really pertains to me. I was restless and what I
was looking for I don't really know.. I know I looked.. and really
I guess I still am.. for something better perhaps.. I was back
then too I think..When I think back to 1972, I was in Houston,TX,
I was working in a pool hall..where people came in to play and
rented time on the tables..Belonged to a sweet man, named
Blackie..he was a cowboy too let me tell ya.. Big man and not
afraid of anything.. When I went to work for him..he kinda took
me under his wing and watched out for me. I met a man and I
went off with him, name of Sid, and that's when I started to
work at the motels in Houston for that Lawyer, from there I met
my 2nd husband Willie..that worked at the motels too..I have
so many stories I could write about these many hats Ive worn..I
do enjoy telling them tho..maybe I will start to tell those stories
they ARE interesting I have to say.. :-) but nothing in my lifetime
has NOT been interesting..and truthfully, amazing.. :-) I've had
a good life..I have no complaints..even now..Life is good..Its
what WE make it.. :-) I'm making MINE good :-) slow at times..
but..its ALL good :-)

I slept late this morning..till 8 am.. I am a lazy bones.. The boy tried
to wake me up at 5 but I just covered my face with my hand and
the boy couldn't get to me and I went back to sleep..:-) Was a good
day and I'm ready to wind it down.. found some great music sites and
I'm gonna sit back and listen to these old songs that will take me
back to those "Good Old Days"...So its time for my daily
GORGEOUS WEEBLE "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,

~My Big Boy~ :-)


There's my big boy. LB..hes so pretty and such a lovey
kid..You don't really know hes around unless Dutch is
messin with him.. Hes a very vocal cat..he will almost
talk to you.. When he wants my attention..he will put
his feet up on my arm and I swear he says MOM...I
have had others hear him...Hes vocal at other times
but I wont go there.. I told you hes madly in love with
his stuffed girlfriend and when hes dragging her around
he howls like a banshee...I always ask him afterwards
if he needs a smoke. :-) he never answers me :-)
I got the 2 of them together..This was just before the big
fight..Dutch is looking up at me as if to say.."I'm a good
kid"..WE know the truth ! :-) But they are good kids and
so much company for me.. I talk to them all the time..poor
guys probly think their mother is NUTZ :-) LB is gradually
getting mad as every minute or so Dutch will slap at him.
The next photo shows it.. :-)
Now.. is that boy mad or what?? hes pissed..right after
I took this he jumped straight up and landed on top of
the boy and just beat the living daylights otta him..LB
will only put up with so much from Dutch..look at the
ears .. :-)
Well there you see the boy, Donnie.. He came by last nite
and I told you he hurt his back.. Hes not feeling any pain as
you see.. He just got back from the doctor where he said
they gave him a shot in his back..They still arent real sure
what happened to his back.. I felt sorry for him and I had
this remote truck I was giving to my grandson, and I decided
maybe this might cheer him up..You can see he has the remote
in his hand..The truck is like a blazer and that thing can FLY!
We laughed so hard at the boy..Dutch had NO idea what it was.
Donnie would follow him with it and Dutch was going nutz it
was so funny.. LB just sat and watched...he didn't care..:-)
I know Donnie will have fun with it with his grandsons ..Cameron
will really enjoy it.. I think Donald will too . He called and said
his cat ran and hid, Jerky jumped up on the couch and howled,
he was scared to death of it..but NOW..I just hope Donnie puts
this remote up and that dog doesn't eat it.! If he does I wont
get him another one!.:-) hes as spoiled as my cats ! :-) they
are all worth it though..Id be lost with out them all.. :-)


I was rolling into the kitchen last nite and misjudged how close
I was and smashed my left hand between my wheel and the
fridge.. Talk about hurt!! its bruised and last nite when I went
to transfer into bed I had a hard time it was so sore.. I worry
about that sometimes..My hands..arms.. theyre my legs..some
times I have misjudged and my wrist will suddenly bend and I
almost break it... Last nite I just jammed it between the 2 things
but its really sore.. happened so fast I couldn't stop it.. I went
into the kitchen the other day and my table in there is only a
fraction of an inch higher than my arm rest on my chair.. If I am
not VERY careful and I leave my arm half on and half off the arm
rest it will pinch when it gets to the edge of the table.. I keep a
bruise on the underside of my arm from all the times I pinch it..I
would think by now I would learn..but I dont..Well I guess that
keeps it interesting and me on my invisible toes don't it? :-)

Penny came today and got some of the spots off this carpet..We
checked around the edge to see the floor but couldn't tell .. I bet
between her and I we could get this carpet out of here. I would
just cut around the furniture..that would work.. Well I am about
of of news for this wonderful day.. I don't know whats wrong but
Ive been HAPPY!!! I'm so glad.. I wake up in a good mood ..and
I'm still that way when I go to bed.. I am most grateful too, let
me tell ya.. My sis got back safe and sound from their anniversary
trip.. Donald did relay some kinda bad news..My brother isnt doing
real well I will have to call and find out..He was diagnosed with PVD
like me..and had his first bypass..Worries me..

So I am gonna get a snack , play some spider and then watch TV..
Someone told me I can hook my TV up to my monitor..I have lots
to learn.. My monitor screen is bigger than my TV!!! That would be
nice !! Time to log off for today, First my GORGEOUS WEEBLE
"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 .....

~Angel Weeble ~ :-)

I'm having fun with this cam..The quality is just amazing.
It wasn't easy figuring out all the stuff but I'm getting
there.. I took that photo just messin around this morning.
and I wasn't gonna put it here but I saw it and said "well
gee, I have a halo" :-) The light from that window is just
too bright yet its sposta have a light adjuster thing on it..
So just to be funny I thought y'all get a laugh out of my
"GEORGEOUS ANGEL WEEBLE" photo :-)
Dutch isnt really happy lookin, he and LB just fought. He's
still not as big as the old man, he thinks he is sometimes
though they fight worse than kids!..Isnt he pretty? He
looks Dutch don't he? I had a good friend in Holland and
I was chatting to him at the time the boy was delivered
to me 4 years ago..I am NOT good at naming animals,
as you can tell by LittleBoys name..So my friend suggested
Dutch kind of sorta after him.. Ive not heard from him in
years..be nice to hear from him again..let him see the
boy and how hes grown.. He was in Amsterdam I think,
or the other big town..Rotterdam..one of those.. At least
I do better naming pets than Donnie & Dawn..The dog is
Jerky and the kittie is Squirt.. poor kids ! :-) No wonder
that dog eats his stuff I would too with a name like that for
a beautiful dog..:-)
I like my new cam..and there you can see it.. Its not easy to
take a picture of a web cam WITH the webcam..So.. I figured
out a way .... I use my mirror.. I keep that mirror on top my
big box (CPU) so I can see behind me if someone comes up
the ramp outside..then I don't have to turn around.. Hey, I have
to think of all kinds of shortcuts..by the time I turned this chair
around to look see, whoever it was would already be inside! So I
use the mirror and if something is out there I can see it..fore
warned is always good.. I see the mailman out there every day.
EVERYDAY..and I still jump when he slams that lid down on
the box.. I used to gripe that he did but I think that's his way of
letting me know I have mail..so hes excused :-) Anyway..

The ONE thing I do NOT like about this cam ..you see it is on a
long stick , well plastic thing..The cam clips ontop of it..This cam
can be clipped onto a laptop too or my monitor ..I don't take
photos that close up..Id melt the cam for sure !!! :-) With the cam
on top even though the base is weighted..it still falls over.. You
can see, well maybe you cant, but on the base I have my weight
thing..its a square filled with sand..I use it for sewing to hold the
material ...It was my moms..its a handy thing its like a paper
weight but in cloth...It holds the cam but I don't like that part of
this cam.. I called LOGITECH..this cam is a Logitech quick cam
Pro.. and they said too bad send it back if you don't like it.. Well,
I like the cam..not the flippin stand! So I'm gonna have to come
up with something else..give me time I will figure out something.


I called the boy last nite to see how hes doing..He goes to the
doctor tomorrow and I thought he was off work all this time.. Well
I should have KNOWN better..You don't keep Donald away from
work unless you knock him out or tie him down.. Hes never missed
a day of work in I couldn't tell you how long..Hes a workaholoic...
still working that 2nd job too..But with the way gas prices are going,
those big huge motorcoaches arent selling..all those manufacturers
in Elkhart are worried.. Donnie among them.. I don't think they will
come down for a long long time if ever the way things are going..
It scares me when I think of my grands and what kind of world will
it be for them? I had a great growing up and I have to honestly say
I am glad when I was born..it was a good time to grow up..Things
were so clean and honest back then..nothing like now which is so
sad...

Well..enough rambling for today, lunch was ok, bbq and beans. It
was pretty good.. I think for supper its gonna be a PB &J .. I sure
like them.. I have some great black raspberry jam..I wish I had a
banana now too, to put on it..:-) good stuff I'm telling ya :-) Time
to post this from the GORGEOUS WEEBLE "Nitey Nite" :-)

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya and THANKS! :-)

~Phots Return~ :-)


Well.. guess what I got? My new webcam :-) The quality is
wonderful compared to my other one.. It installed easy but
I still am not fully able to operate it.. I did get this photo but
It took me a half hour how to figure out how to get in on my
desktop so I could put it here.. Well, they will automatically
download into a photo place which mine is PSP 9.. I can make
them smaller ..or crop them and I add the border around
the edge.. I think it accentuates the photo more.. But its a nice
cam.. Its a Logitech QuickCam Pro.. really nice.. more
complicated than my other one.. You can put funny stuff on it
when you are on cam.. to make funny faces etc.. Theres a
lot to it..it will keep me busy for a while and hopefully out of
trouble... :-) So, Photos of me shall return again ..I KNOW
your pleased :-) Dont look at my crappy hair ! I wasnt prepared!
But I wanted to let you know Photos will return ! :-)

My boy has his drs appointment tomorrow.. I worry about him.. His
back really goes out and he cant do like he does.. Donald will
turn into the biggest grizzly bear around.. Hes always been active.
Backs are not fun.. My honeygirl Bev..has a bad back too ..She
has been through so much pain and angony bless her heart..and
she is still having trouble with it.. She told me she had to have as
many as 150 shots at one time.. THAT would make me pass out..
Shes a brave girl ..shes had her share of troubles and shes such
honeygirl.. wonderful daughter and a terrific neice..She lives farther
north in a great town over on the lake..Very smart..just like her
Auntie...:-) and shes GORGEOUS too !! Runs in the family :-)

Penny came today and it was laundry and getting out the beast..
After Penny is done she goes around and finds the cats cuz they
both run and hide.. LB dives under the bed.. The boy..he goes
to his favorite hidey hole which is the bathtub.. He sits under my
bench that's in there in the tub.. When he comes out he almost
is tiptoeing and slowly will peek into the doorway to see if the
coast is clear.. LB he goes to sleep and he doesn't come out
till he wakes up.. LB is worrying me tho.. His wheezing is getting
worse.. Lasting longer.. Hes always done this.. like he has
asthma..but since we have been in here its worse.. and I notice
Dutch is starting that too..

Thinking of that I havent heard from big daddy Ken.. So its more
wait and wait and wait..The smell is bad down the basement
again and I have that de humidifier down there.. That basement
leaks..and as long as it does.. that mold and damp smell will
never leave.. All my other chairs are down there and stuff, I can
just smell them.. I wish I had a door on my garage..well if Donnie
didn't have all his stuff in it.. I would put that stuff out there.. But
I hate my chairs smell, My other manual and power are down there
and my shower chair..I sit and try to think of all the stuff that's down
there that I don't even remember.. It will be 2 yrs Ive been in here
in Oct.. that's when my grant is up too..

When Rebecca and Theresa were here they both assured me I
have nothing to worry about on this grant that I will never be
taken off of it.. The only thing is..the grant will not pay for me to
rent anything bigger than a 1 bedroom since I am by my self.. I
told Rebecca if I did find something else, and it was bigger I
would just have the landlords say its a 1 bedroom with a den or
something.. Id like to have more room but Id like to have a
better kitchen ..and the bathroom could be easier..and the
carpet out would be easier :-) At least I know I don't have to
worry about that..cause I really do worry about that ALOT...

Nice day today and I didn't have to run my AC I put the ceiling
fan on and its keeping it really nice.. I don't know which is cheaper
to run the fan or the AC..LB isnt afraid of it anymore which I'm glad,
he would run terrified of it when I turned it on.. I think the shadows
scared him.. Its a really pretty one..and works great.. Id like to get
some nice pull chains for it tho.. the chain for the light I can only
JUST barely reach and the one to run the fan is ok..its long enuff
but its just a dull chain hanging there Id like something nice for
the end of it.. I told the boy that and he said "if it hits me in the
head I'm jerkin' it Down"... he knows what I woud do to him if
he did jerk it down :-)

Well I'm finished for today, I got up early..no; correction..The
BOYS woke me up early..530 to be exact.. and by the time
they walk all over me and tap my face and LB MEOWS
loudly in my face..I have NO choice but to drag my butt out
of the bed..feed them, then THEY go back to bed!! and Mom
gets to stay up the rest of the day ! Kids..:-) My butt says
its time for this GORGEOUS WEEBLE'S "Nitey Nite" :-)

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

~Ok, I Have A Temper~


I really hate when I let people's words or remarks put me in a bad
mood.. I hate fighting and arguing..specially when I'm right! :-)
I got up feeling really good, was a nice day, logged on to
yahoo and MSN ..aim.. to see who was up and about. A
friend messages me and we get into a huge fight..so much
so I was ready to throw this new computer out in the street..
Computers are such wonderful things...but they can bring
you such heartache and trouble more than anything else there
is I think.. I hate to have my feelings hurt by a callous or
unthoughtful remark.. I have such a bad temper it just makes
me mad all over !.. As nice as I am, I have that bad a temper.

I know I do and have been this way all my life..I just see red
when something makes me mad and there is just NO telling
what I will say or do.. I hate to get mad I really do..If I get too
mad and upset, it tears up my whole system, then I end up
literally SICK..pukey sick..that's how bad it is.. Over the years
Ive learned .. hard way- how to control it so that it just doesn't
over ride my whole system.. When I feel the anger I sit and
count to 10.. if I am really upset I start to write them a letter
to whomever it was made me mad..Usually by the 10th letter I
write, the mad has subsided and I can go on..

Having a horrible temper really can benefit you tho.. If I wasn't
so determined and just plain MAD that this happened to me
I don't think I would be like I am either.. I'm not gonna let the
loss of 2 legs stop me or my life.. made me mad that my
body failed me..so I am determined to make the best of it..
This isnt easy by a long shot but I'm determined I'm gonna
do it.. I get mad enough I can do anything :-) So I guess
some mads are good for you :-) Well, MAD got me out of
that homeless shelter before anyone else! :-)

I went to my email and found some photos I had sent to others
as I don't have my cam hooked up yet.. I still don't think I
should install this old one.. Ive had it for over 3 years and Ive
used it ALOT!..no, not for just pictures and videos of me.. :-)
I take photos outside and of the boys! ok, ok..so most are of
me ..but anyway, my cam wasn't acting right and the focus
was off..Next week.. after the first, I think I might check out a
new one..just to be safe with this new computer.. I was told I
can take the hard drive out of my old one and put it on a cd..
which I hope I can.. all my photos and videos and especially
all my stories are on that computer.. I could probly re write
them but I cant replace some of the photos.. I'm still looking
for someone to do it for me or show me how... So that photo
up top is an old one..its still the GORGEOUS WEEBLE
herself..in all her glory..aint I tho? I love me :-) I'm so glad
someone does :-) .. I know y'all love me too :-) even though
I have a bad temper :-)

I havent decided what I'm going to fix for my Sunday dinner
yet.. I just am not real hungry after a mad I really don't have
much of a appetite.. I will have to raid my cupboards and
see what I can find.. Sunday is almost over.. and its only a
week until we get to July..this year Is half gone already..
time sure flies when your having fun don't it? Life is good..
its all good..now my GORGEOUS WEEBLE "nitey nite"...:-)

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

~Where'd The Day Go?~

I just looked at the time and I have NO idea where today
went.. I know I was awake all day at least I think so.. I
only have been replying to some email and looked at the
time and realized this day was half gone and I havent done
ONE single thing but sit on my patootie and type! I know
I cant do nothing but sit..but sheesh.. I need to do
something a little more productive I think..:-)

I got a upsetting call that I didn't like at all.. My boy Donnie
is having trouble. His back went out..and it had to be SUPER
bad..he had Dawn take him to the hospital where they kept
him OVER NIGHT! I KNOW the boy was mad on that. but
it had to be really bad for him to go..Dawn said its not good.
Donnie works so much ..all the time..he works 2 jobs.. I
think hes over doing it and I tell him that all the time..but hes
so hyper that he cant sit still.. He cant sit and watch a whole
nascar race cuz he cant sit still that long..He will tape it..so
he can come and go during it and not miss anything..

When I was staying with Donnie and his then wife Shirley , it
was a day when there was a race on tv..we all sat and watched
it .. me, Donnie, and the 3 girls.. Kelli , Nikki and Amber..
About half way thru Donnie stand up points out that hes recording
that race and not to touch nothing..till after the race is over..
and he went outside to do something.. Well the girls and I sat
there and watched that race TOTALLY not interested but we
all knew Donnie and you don't mess with his stuff or what hes
doing.. So after the race FINALLY ended.. we turned on a
movie..sat and was watching it.. next thing you know here he
comes..plunks his butt down in the chair..grabs the remote
and proceeds to shut off that movie and turn on his tape of
the race!!! we all 4 screamed at him to STOP! we were
watching that movie.!. He didn't care and he wanted to watch
his race.. So.. I got up ( I had legs then) grabbed that remote,
turned the movie back on and told him if he didn't let us watch
the end of that movie I was gonna tell him who won the race!
He DIDNT want to know! so he decided was to his benefit
to let us see that whole movie..and we did..

Hes got an appointment on Tuesday and I hope they find out
whats wrong ..He has twitches and said his arm went numb
that's why they treated him like a heart patient ..which he
wasn't.. As active as he is.. this back will drive him nuts..just
like when he burnt his ankle he was housebound..waited
patiently for Dawn to come home and take him out..Said
he knew how the dog felt waiting to go out! :-) hes got a
good doctor so I'm hoping they can fix him..

Ive been playing with this new puter and I have to honestly
say I do NOT like Vista.. It makes you feel STUPID.. no
matter what it is your doing it asks you if your sure that's
what you want to do.. Like I'm dumb and don't know any
thing.. I hate that.. The start thing is totally different.. Now
all your programs are in a tiny little list..I just don't like it
like I do XP.. I had 98 before I got the xp and I did like
the xp better.. all they do when they change these windows
is just add perks.. This vista has a thing goes down the
side of your monitor called gadgets.. I have a post it note
and the weather .. a calender and a little slide show that
changes pictures I wish I could put my own on it..but I
don't have ANY photos on this puter.. Theyre all on my
other one.. Probly in a while I will get used to this vista
but I really don't care for it.. XP was easier to navigate.
and it didn't keep asking me was I sure what I wanted
to do...

Today I am making a fav..I'm having some Shrimp..They
had them on sale at Meijers like they always do.. buy
1 bag get 1 free.. sometimes its 2 free but they havent
had that in a long time.. I love them just slightly heated
and then the cocktail sauce.. with some nice golden
fries. I know Buddy..not healthy but I love em..specially
with Shrimp.. Potatoes are good for you its just the way
you fix them :-) I just happen to prefer mine deep fried!
No I like potatoes ..anyway you fix them.. Talking about
potatoes I should make some of my potato salad I make
The VERY best.. its made by me but its still the best ive
had anywhere...my mom's recipe so you KNOW its good
I have a special ingredient that just brings the taste out.

Time for food and time to post this for today, I havent installed
my cam as I think a new one would be better so hopefully
after the 1st I can get a new cam..and then I shall take some
new pics. Now I'm asking friends to send me ones they have
!! I got some back from my mail at gmail I keep them in
my sent mail for a while which I am so glad that's how I got
all my email addys back... Nows the time for my famous
GORGEOUS WEEBLE "nitey nite"

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya and Thanks!
Always, Lois ****

~Scanner's Ready~ :-)


Well as you see I got my scanner installed, I took some
photos using my digital camera and then Penny took some,
just to see if my scanner was working right..It did a good
job.. Its different from the other version I have, I had to
relearn how to do everything on it.. Was really aggravating.
I havent hooked my cam up I'm seriously debating to get a
new one.. It was acting up before and I hate to install it on
this new computer if its defective...I checked them out today
on Tiger and they have them from ten dollars to over a
hundred! Hard to know which to choose, there a 4 pages
of cams there..
My kitchen window that we always look out of I have those
2 suncatchers hanging.. The bottom is a real stained glass
one that my sister gave me since she knows I love cats..Its
amazing the heart around it is blue and matches the walls in
my kitchen perfectly..The top one is one I painted..Its just
plastic was one I did before I had my computer for something
to do. I think I did about 5 or 6 different ones.. I love sun
catchers but I have to be very careful where I hang them cuz
Dutch will get them.. not cuz they swing or anything..its cuz
he LOVES the suction cup thingies they hang from.!. He will
play with one of them for hours..carrys it around, has big fun.
These two he has knocked down.but hes also gotten smacked
for doing it..So NOW, the boy knows he does NOT touch moms
suncatchers.. If he gets mad at me that's the first place he
goes to get back at me..hes smart ! :-)
There is what I see when I look out my window.. Arent
they pretty..they are long stemmed roses too.. We are
worried about them as some of the branches are dead
and the leaves have spots on them.. I think some Sevin
dust might help..we have to do something..theyre so
pretty..Over by the garage on the right you see some
red..its a tiny small rose bush but it has at least 8
roses on it..On the left you see where the lillies are..
the close up is below..They are so pretty.. I sure enjoy
these wonderful flowers..
There is the window we look out and you see the bird
feeder sitting on the ground..the black squirrel did it.. I
had taken a picture of it but its on my other computer.
Down at the bottom of that fence is where the morning
glories are planted..Theyre doing pretty good.. I can
just see how pretty they will be when they cover that
fence... at least I hope so anyway...
And there is the flower box on the front porch...We
didn't know it had all those kinds in the flat Penny got.
There are 4 different ones in color but they are all
the double impatients... Another month and they will
be just beautiful...The lady across the street has window
boxes and they planted these in them..I don't know how
good they will do cuz they will get direct light and these
really do better in shade..

Wednesday Penny picked 3 roses for me and I put them in
a vase with water of course.. I have to hide them at night
and I put the vase in the cupboard that the boy cant get
into..Dutch has NO will power when it comes to real flowers..
He is bound and determined they are HIS! he will eat
them then puke..eat some more and throw up again..Its
awful.. so of course that means I either cant have any
living flower or plant in here or hide them at night when
the boy is on the prowl and I cant watch them..So I
put the roses in the cupboard; on my way to the potty
this morning as I have to roll right past the cupboard..
I took out the roses and put them on the bakers rack
right there.. I rolled into the bathroom..scooted forward
when all of a sudden I hear this CRASH!!!!.. I KNEW
what happened and I cant believe I was dumb enough to
leave those roses alone out there.. So.. I did my duty
and got back into my chair and rolled out to survey the
damage..CRAP...I had rose petals everywhere, water
ALL over that I, of course! HAD to roll through..what a
mess..The boy is running away and I could see the
rose petal in his mouth!! I grabbed him and took it out
hoping I wasn't going to have to clean all this up then
go around cleaning up after a pukey cat!! Life is so
fun here.. Well I got the rose petals and leaves up
and by then I just couldn't tackle mopping up all that
water that I managed to spread TOO! I looked at the
time and it was 8:45 and Penny would be here at 9.
I apologized to her for letting Dutch make such a mess..
She got the mop and got it up right away. Always some
thing here.. Thank God for Penny!! :-)

Well ive been up since 6 and I need to get out of this chair
for today..I still have that sore spot on my tail bone and I am
running out of patience putting up with it but I just don't know
what else to put on it..Its right where I sit..so unless I sit
lopsided It makes it hurt..cant win..Time for some TV, but
first my GORGEOUS WEEBLE "nitey nite"... :-)

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya and thanks!! :-)

~Fun Day~

Well today was a real fun day..Guess who got to enjoy a
phone call from me?? well HEWLETT PACKARD of course.
the people that made my new computer AND my 3 in 1
scanner..Guess what? This new computer has VISTA on it.
and my HP scanner will not load into my HP computer
because of VISTA!!!..I spent 3 hours on the phone this
morning.. I talked to 7..as in SEVEN people, most in India,
that had NO idea what I was talking about because that
problem wasn't programmed into their keyboards.. Well, I
talked to Anna first, in India..then I talked to Kevin in
New York, then to a girl I didn't get her name..then there
was Harsha and Sother...and another I didn't get the name.
I have no problem with where people are from..but I have
a very hard time understanding these techs they have in
India..its probly a problem with my ears..Two of these
techs said I would have to pay $35.oo to get a cd to load
my scanner.. I went totally ballistic.. I will take this computer
back before I will pay to down load a HP Scanner into a
HP computer all because they put this crappy Vista in it?
No.. I told them I will take this back first..

Well finally I reached a man..that KNEW what he was talking
about and told me just exactly what to do and ALL online and
ALL for free..I do NOT understand how all these people I
talked to had different solutions and some had NONE! One
guy told me to just buy a new scanner!! hows that for good
business!! I was SO mad by the time I got to the guy that
finally helped me I was ready to throw both this computer
AND scanner out in the street!! I hope HEWLETT PACKARD
has a crawler so they can pick up on this flame about them,
just like COMCAST did..This is crap as far as I'm concerned
what all I had to go thru..Then as mad as I was I didn't look
at the time and I hear a knock and there is Theresa..she got
to see a mean me.. :-)

I told Theresa what happened as I havent seen her since all
this computer crap happened..So I filled her in and showed
this new puter to her, she has XP... She heard the last part
of my conversation so I had to explain..but she agreed it
wasn't right .. She informed me she has a new kittie and I
saw a picture of it she had on her cell phone..Its so cute,
makes me want a baby kittie..Dutch would go insane if I
did and LB I don't think he could go thru another baby if
it was another one like Dutch..Its name is Abby and shes
a little long haired Tiger... Theresa is really enjoying this
kittie..she missed hers so much... We talked about every
thing, she listens to all my gripes..I told her what I have been
told lately about inspiring others...she agreed as she said
I did her too...I explained to her that I don't see that I do
that..she explained that its because it comes so naturally
to me to be a helper...that I don't notice... I tried to tell
her its just that I'm bossy and like to tell people what to
do ! She laughed.. :-)

So, after Theresa left, my phone rang and it was Rebecca,
she was out in my driveway and wanted to stop in for a
minute ! I asked why she didn't just come to the door, she
said she knows I like to be forewarned..door knocks really
do scare me If I'm not expecting anyone...She promised to
bring her son Taylor to meet me..Hes been having trouble
with allergies lately..Shes a good worker and so very nice.
She didn't stay long as she still had another client to see..

So after everyone left.. I ran the install that I downloaded
from the HP site..and believe me I was holding my breath..
It seemed to take for ever to load..but as I write this I now
have my printer re connected.. I was going to try to install
my web cam but after this with HP I will wait until tomorrow
today has been exciting enough for one day.. I don't need
anymore crap...although the ladies coming by wasn't crap,,
that was nice... Computers are such a wonderful thing why
do they have to make us NUTZ??? :-)

I didn't have any lunch today as it was ...well YOU name it..
I have NO idea what it was..I'm not real hungry so I may
just make a PB & J sandwich.. Sounds good.. I'm ready to
get out of this chair..my patootie butt is telling me to HURRY
so Its time for my GORGEOUS WEEBLE "nitey nite"

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? Love ya and THANKS!
Always, Lois ****

God Bless You, is my prayer today,

~A Great Email~ :-)

I got an email that almost made me cry..It was so very
nice..Made me feel really good..that I was helping some
one... Some days I feel as though I accomplish nothing
and just sit all day staring at this computer..which basically
I really do..but this blog, seems to be opening up this
'other world' as I call it..Letting everyone know on a daily
basis that this aint easy..These videos you see and watch
that's not everyday life.. I try to encourage.. I try to help
if I can by being so open about all this.. But these letters,
ok emails Ive gotten telling me I help..do you realize just
how your letters encourage me? You make me feel like
I am somebody..that I do matter..that even though my
life has done a complete 360..I still am me.. and can do
some good.. at least I try to.. But hearing from you telling
me this.. I am most grateful and means a lot to me..You
that write comments here, dear Mary and Raife, D, and
momar..Rob..all of you ..when you write to me here or
in email..I sincerely appreciate it and I thank you for making
this a bit easier for me..you really do...Thanks :-)

Big Kenny came over today and brought a lady named Diane,
she was very nice and really liked the boys..of course they
made her feel welcome like they do everyone... Big Daddy
came to check out the basement..Diane is going to wash
and seal it..paint it too..My basement will be really nice.. I
asked him though since all that stuff down there is already
smelly will that make it still smell ? Kenny will call and let
me know when Diane will be coming to do the work down
there, in the meantime hes sending little Kenny to fix the
faucet outside and to pick up all the dead branches.. I told
Ken again that he needs to have someone look at these
trees..it could cost him mega bucks in damage if he doesn't
pretty soon..


I see the dead wood and the condition of these trees and its
a shame.. I am so tempted to call Julio that worked for me
before..Hes still in the tree service and does still do tree
work..his son has joined him from what I understand.. Junior,
last time I saw that kid he was in 2nd grade I think.. Julio
always said Junior was gonna be a professional baseball
player he loved to play ball so much..Junior was a heck of
a kid..very rebellious..his dad gone so much and his mom
left when he was born...so Julio raised the kid by himself
till he got with his wife now.. I can remember all the things
that kid did..it was a daily drama..from setting the fields
on fire to flooding his house..he was a kid and a half..Id
like to see him again..from what I hear hes very tall and
very handsome..he should be about 26 or so hes older
than Kelli..

I used to watch Junior for Julio when he worked with Willie
on a job..I of course had Kelli too .. She was a very bossy
child when it came to playing with other kids..Julio and the
little boy next door really didn't like to play with her..I would
have to bribe both of them with cookies or snacks if they
played with her.. It was good for her to teach her to consider
other kids..not just herself.. she still bossed those 2 around
though.. depending on what the bribe was they would play
more than just one day with her.. She doesn't remember all
this and its fun to tell her how spoiled she was back then by
all of us.. Well she is still..her Papa and I still look out for
her .. so does her dad...

Penny fixed my new clothes rack for me today. she works
so hard.. Then she had to transfer clothes from the closet,
summer stuff, and move the winter stuff back into the
closet.. I cant get in the closet cuz we keep the power
chair in front of it..and to move it is a pain in the patootie..
But we got it all changed around and now I'm set for
summer.. I really don't need to switch stuff since I try to
keep it the same temp all year long..comfortable. I told
Penny though we have to make sure the power chair is
up close to the wall cuz I cant swing enough to get this
chair pulled up to my bed..

I was going to watch TV and was rolling across the floor
and I swing this chair kind of wide to be able to get up
at the top of my bed..When I did I hit the power chair,
and couldn't move.. I tried to move forward and when I
did I hit the little credenza next to the bed and the back
legs are weak and wobbly anyway ..well I hit that and
everything that was on top of it went to the floor.. The
thing tipped back towards the wall with the collapse
of the legs.. I couldn't get that back up OR get all the
stuff off the floor back there..AND ONE of the things
that slid off the top of that thing was guess what???
my clicker for the tv..so I couldn't watch TV unless I
went up to the set itself..and I couldn't control nothing
then from the bed..so I didn't watch tv..Penny fixed
that today too.. We had to take everything out of it,
which was alot..and then she had to turn it over and
try to get the legs stable again..THEN pick up all the

~2 Good Calls!~ :-)

I got 2 of the nicest phone calls yesterday and I was so
pleased to get them ... They were from 2 very nice people
from COMCAST CABLE... Mark and Sherry phoned about
my deal with the repair man.. They were both so very nice
and apologized for what happened...I was worried for the
repair guy, he was so nice and I didn't want to get him in
trouble by calling myself..Mark and Sherry both agreed I
should NOT have had to do the repair mans job..It wasn't
his fault however, who ever gave him his work order didn't
fill it out right..I didn't mind the company at all but..like we
3 agreed I should NOT have had to entertain a COMCAST
repair man for an hour while he waited for someone to
answer his call..The music he had to listen to..well me too,
for that matter, his phone was loud..the music was awful..I
will admit I did suggest to Sherry they get some better
music..I did laff and tell her I knew why they had ickky
music ..so we get tired of listening to it and hang up! She
laffed too..But I told her the best music that everyone
really LIKES is the oldies..and they are the very best to
listen to...specially the old rock and roll...

Anyway I was glad to get the calls from them which I had
NOT expected...but I know how the meta crawlers work,
so I knew they would get an alert that they were mentioned.
As many run ins as Ive had with them they should KNOW
me by now ...:-) I also took it upon my self to let them know
I thought would be really generous and showing empathy
for the disabled and seniors if they gave us a special rate..
We stay online more than your average person..its all we
really have to do to occupy our time.. I explained to her ..
I live in this house, yes, but I REALLY LIVE in my puter..
That's where all my friends are..I stay there with them as
long as I can..well at least until certain body parts of mine
scream at me,, then I have no choice but to log off.. It sure
would be nice if they did..and the point being that COMCAST
would probly be the first big company that does that for us.
I think it would be a huge feather in their cap..besides making
a lot of people extremely happy... I told them both to be sure
they came to check todays blog as I would mention them ..

Today was cold! can you believe it when only 2 days ago it
was in the 90's.?.a lot of people are gonna be sick... I had
Penny pick up a remote control boat for a prank gift for the
boy..Donnie.. I gave it to him last week and when he was
here I asked if he had taken it out in the lake yet..He had
big fun plans to mess with everyone when he took them
out fishing..:-) well he was a tad upset..it seems the dog,
Jerky, ate the remote..Donnie was not happy..That dog will
eat anything..I am surprised hes not deathly sick all the
time with the stuff that dog eats!..Remember he ate the
boys snow mobile boots? :-) Well I looked for a new boat
for him but as fast as the store got them they sold out..
It was a big boat..id say a foot long, was a toy..but all
remote control... And it was only 6.oo..a great buy.. I
had to get it.. I also got a remote truck..well I got 2 of
them as I have now a couple new grandsons that I think
would enjoy it..and you know Christmas isnt that far
away...

I was looking at the calendar and half this year is gone..
I mean time flies when your having fun..I don't know
where the time has gone..Our baby is 2 months old
already...hes so cute..and from what I hear a very good
little man..Kelli I think is ready to go back to work soon..
She is so energetic that she needs that extra work to
keep her satisfied.. Plus her sister in law lives with them
and she is due or already had a baby and will take care
of Alex if she goes back to work.. Kelli is a worker and
has been since she was 2 years old..she never hesitated
to do her "daily chores" as she and I called them..She
did them with a smile on her face she didn't mind helping
Gran..we made work fun..

Today lunch was some kind of fish..it tasted good when I
ate it..but I don't know what kind of seasoning they put
on it but here it is 4 hours later and I can still taste that
flavoring in my mouth..and YES- I did wash my mouth
out too..didn't help..some seasonings do that though,
they just stick with you and this sure did.. I'm still
waiting for Kenny, hes not been here yet.. I hope he didn't
forget..Something needs done with this basement and if
something goes wrong with that faucet that Donnie said
is faulty I could flood the basement or make it damper
than what it is.. I hope he still comes by today...Well I'm
done with this post and so that means its time for my
GORGEOUS WEEBLE "Nitey Nite".

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya and THANKS!
(specially to the Comcast people!) :-)
