~I Called~

I called and talked to a lady with the Brother Sewing Machine

company yesterday, for information about an adapted one

for someone like me with out any legs.. She said all they have

is one with a button that you can turn the machine on and off.

Which, unless you sew, to move your hands away from your

work or to look away from your needle while that machine is

running.. well if your running an industrial machine, you can

do some serious damage in only a split second.. I'm not saying

it wouldn't work, I guess it would take some time to get used

to doing that.. I really think my idea is better, then I don't

have to move my eyes away from my work till the machine

stops.. and it leaves both hands free ALL the time.. I don't

know.. I would have to try it..and how would you control

speed? to go just a stitch at a time? I dunno...

I often wonder if these places that come up with their ideas

that are supposed to help someone that has a disability if

they go to THEM and find out.. or do they just assume how

it would be? Like the lady at the home help place that said

she saw no reason why I couldn't just "scoot across" to get

into a car... She had NO idea what its like.. I will never forget

that remark.. how rude and to me totally showed ignorance

on her part.. and she worked for a home help company... I

will admit I told her off royally.. But I often wonder why

these places like Brother or even that home help place

assume.. and don't get actual facts... I'm not saying it

wouldn't work... but safety wise...I would say no.. I would

have to really try it.. and well with that ladys attitude,

I will stick with a Husqvarna that's the best one made,

its really a Viking, made in Sweden.. Its more durable

and can withstand a lot of use, just like their chain saws.

When I had, well WE had, Willie and I, our tree service,

we used ONLY Husqvarna saws.. They were the very

best.. We found that they withstood constant use AND

in the worst of conditions.. I mean we used our saws when

it was raining, snowing, hot out, cold.. and they withstood

all the use.. Better than any of the others that we had,

their saws are just as durable as their sewing machines.

I give a good reference when they deserve it :-)

I havent mentioned this new cushion.. The difference it

has made is wonderful.. I don't have to lift up and back

all at once.. sure is saving a lot of stress on my arms .. I

am the same height now as the transfer chair and my

bed. Its a little firm but its really great.. Now, just to

get the door fixed, the gas bill lowered and this place

would be absolutely perfect :-) It still is even with those

not done...yet :-)

Penny didn't make it today due to the weather. I worry

about her on those roads with no snow tires. She said

she went out yesterday and slid into the curb. I noticed

the road care here is nothing compared to 3 Rivers. They

were out in the middle of the night sometimes, but that's

how they have to do to stay ahead of it.. We are due to

get over 10, as in TEN inches of snow by tomorrow

morning.. I am already snowed in.. The smiley butt guy

went in and out a few times so he stomped me a small

path out to the driveway, but its not plowed YET. I hope

they get to it AFTER the snow plow goes by.. That plow

leaves a big lumpy across the end of the driveway.. :-)

There HAS to be a method to this madness :-) I am

going to call COA and make arrangements for that guy

to come here and shovel I thought he was but I guess

I need to call and set it up again.. It will save Penny from

doing it.. even though she does carry a shovel in her trunk.

I don't know what I'm going to fix for my dinner today,

I'm not really hungry, but I will find something.. maybe

just some pasta and sauce, sounds good.. Decisions,

Decisions :-) Time to post, eat, and enjoy this snow day,

I don't expect to see anyone now till Monday.. that's ok,

I like time to myself too.. :-) This GORGEOUS WEEBLE

is all snug and warm, happy too.. "G'Day, G'day, I hope

you are too " :-)

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

"God Bless You", is my prayer today,

I'm honored to call you "friend".

I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

Until I write again...
