Amputee life before and after...

~Nice Lunch~

I just ate a nice lunch of meatloaf and a baked
potato and cream corn. I was hungry! I woke up that
way today. I know I had too much to drink last nite
after I left this puter.. I made at least 4 potty calls.
3 for sure :-) Well...that wont happen tonite.. I knew
better but I did it anyway.. Lime koolaid is so good
when its ice cold.. I mix a jar with the kool aid and
sugar, then I keep bottles of water in the fridge.
When I want something to drink I get a water and
put 3 scoops of the koolaid mix into it.. I sometimes
just have the water plain.. Well anyway, last nite I
had 1 too many of them.. I hate when I forget what
Ive learned :-)

I don't think we are ever too old to learn. Theres the
saying you cant teach an old dog new tricks.. well I
disagree I think anyone or anything can learn... Ive
always liked to know new things.. I guess its cuz I'm
so nosey and want to know just everything I can. When
I got my first computer I sat and looked at it, almost
scared of it for fear it might bite me or much worst
electrocute me if I push the wrong KEY! :-) I just
realized its a machine, made by a people, it cannot be
smarter.. it may KNOW more, but I learned I have
the control and final say on anything..

I was talking to Theresa and she has quite a few clients
that are homebound... but they don't have computers.. I
know before I had mine, I never was bored, I could find
something to do.. but.. the difference was, I had legs then.
Sitting all the time I have limitations but on a computer
there are really none.. You can go anywhere in the world
see everything with that new street view on Google maps..
its wonderful... But if a person is homebound and all they
do is just watch TV.. well I would rather be here on this
machine, looking and learning and meeting people... I told
Theresa she should try to get these clients of hers to get
a computer .. Sure made a difference for me. And puters
aint scarey once you learn whos the boss...

I have not done anything today other than eat and be on
this puter. The kids are at the Nascar race that's here in
Michigan somewhere.. They took the trailer and will camp
all week end.. They go to the race and then tape it as well.
He takes his satellite with them.. they really rough it when
they go camping as they call it with a 32 foot trailer with
a six foot bump out.. That's really ROUGH .. :-) Sposed to
be nice all week end.. I gave Dawn some steaks I had Penny
pick up that were on sale and you cant pass up a sale with
the way the prices are now in the stores.. The food prices
steady climb but we don't get an increase on our food stamps
though.. which sure would be nice... I know they will be using
the grill as there are quite a few that are in the kids group
that goes to these things...Dawns parents for one. They have
good clean fun and that's the main thing...

Well its that time.. to post then play a few games of spider.
Today went really fast for some reason... I must have had
fun.... they say time flies when your havin fun..so I guess I
did :-) .. 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 ****

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 Lois
    I had fish and fried squash tonight, trying hard not to make to much of it...trying to lose some weight...going camping next month and hoping to lose 5 to 10 pounds before I go...going to get use to lot of walking...trying to get me in a little shape and hubby too.
    We will be cooking most all of your meals at the camp site. And we got the camp site next to the shower, bathroom and wash house... now that is good news.
    We are never to old to learn and that good.
    I wish I would to the thing I have learn, but I don't remember in time. now that getting old.
    I am having a wonderful time, trying to get the house clean up a little...going through old clothes that I might be able to wear again.

    God bless you Lois and have a wonderful Sunday my friend.
    Mary
