~Carry Overs~

Dutch loves bags.. :-)

I said I didn't want to carry over anything from

last year to this one.. Well it seems I have.. That

sore spot on my tail bone... it just refuses to go

away.. It will give me maybe 2 weeks of relief,

not bother me at all.. THEN it will flare up, like

now, and drive me nutz.. Its flared up again..
Yesterday and today, it is REALLY sore again.

Ive been just using a hot wet wash cloth and

holding it on it for a few minutes then drying

off real good. I hope this flare up goes out

pretty soon, That's why I don't sleep good

too, I just cant get comfy.. :-(

Ive been working on redoing my budget since

so much now has changed..All these changes

and I didn't figure in the possibility of a

increase in my gas bill which I should have. I

just have to re arrange and re adjust everything.

Means I'm running a lot closer to the red,

which I don't like, but if I am very careful and

keep my priorities in order I'm ok..

Rent, of course, has gone up, but its always the

first thing I pay.. then my utilities, then the

cable bundle, which is TV , phone, and Internet.

Then I have my allowance for my weekly supplies

that I have to get.. which first on that is, of

course, cat supplies, food, litter and treats.. Then

its MY supplies. Paper products, cleaning, stuff

that's not eatable... And then I try to keep a

balance of a few dollars just in case.. what if I

ran out of food stamps or one of the boys got

sick... I TRY to be very careful so I do have a

little... just in case...

Can you believe its the LAST day of January?
WOW.. seems yesterday I was counting the days

to my birthday, and here I am now, 11 days AFTER!

Time goes so fast...The older you get I think you

realize that more.. When your young and someone

tells you to "wait a year".. its like it is forever...

when in the blink of an eye a year can go by...At

least it seems that way.. But February is a good

month... Its a giftie month if you have a sweetie..

Valentines Day.. And if you love someone your're

sposta make sure on that day, if no other day of

the year you tell that person.. make sure you do

AND show it on February 13 th.. !! You forget

and you could be in BIG DO DO!! Hint Hint! :-)

The boy called me 3 times this morning with puter

problems.. He is SO not very good AND poor kid

has DIAL UP.. ewwww .. I remember when I had

that. ...so slow... Hes amazed at how fast mine is

but he doesn't want to go cable which, well .... that

means being SLOW! He was having email problems

so we got him all fixed. Donnies biggist problem is

he has NO Patiece.. He hates to wait.. and with dial

up .. well you WAIT !! :-)

My problem right now, which its not really, but its

deciding what I want to eat today.. I may make my

favorite, but I am not sure yet what I really want..

I have a nice turkey and dressing dinner in the

freezer which sounds really good.. I forgot to put

that pot of beans on yesterday and its Pennys fault.

:-) She forgot to take the bacon out of the freezer

so that I would remember to put the beans in the

crock pot.. Its HER fault :-) We can just do that

tomorrow... then she can carry that heavy crock pot

over to the table .. I'm always afraid I'm gonna drop

it..

So, its post time for this GORGEOUS WEEBLE for

today.. Still cold as a witches butt on a brass broom

stick here :-) NOW.. THATS cold!! :-) Remember...

I shall return!!! :-)

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 Cant Win!~

I got my gas bill yesterday, I just LOVE when

they mail these bills so they arrive on Fridays..
Sure can ruin a week end that you hoped would

be worry free.. Well.. my gas bill has DOUBLED!

Aint that just great? $142 and some change.. I

saw that and just about lost it.. Its TWICE what

it was last year. The gas rates were sposta go

down, I sure don't see where they have. Ive

not moved the gage on my thermostat. I wrote

and told Joe, I got a reply.. he asked if I wanted

to trade mine for his.. His is $311.. I wont trade,

but he also has a big 2 story house. I have 3

rooms.. well 4 if you count the bathroom .. or

the laundry room.. I guess as big as my closet is

it could be considered a room too!... But getting

this bill sure ruined my worry free week end...

Cant win..

I was in my closet yesterday and it is big.. I have

2 walls that are hanging clothes on the left, double

hanging.. then straight ahead as you go in.. one

long rod for hanging longer clothes.. On the right

are shelves that go up to the ceiling.. I have a nice

soft blanket up there cuz that's where LB sleeps..

Over on the left above the 2 hanging racks is a

shelf too that has a spot for Dutch.. He goes up

there once in a while when hes not pestering me..

Anyhoway.. I was in the closet, facing straight

ahead, looking at my sweaters, I hadnt shut my

chair off as I was just getting a sweater, only

takes a second.. Well.. LB is up on that top shelf

and as I rolled in he saw me, usually when I go

in there its to wake him to make him move a little

hes so lazy he only WALKS around here, very

seldom runs.. he needs more exercise.. He moved

and his snaggy nails got caught on that blanket..

It fell along with LB.. :-(

LB and the blanket BOTH landed on ME!!. The cat

jumped down and ran.. The blanket now, was all

over me.. Its a full size one, during the fall it

opened up, not completely but enuff to cover

me and this chair.. Well, look back, I said I hadnt

shut my chair off.. :-) Another LESSON for this

GORGEOUS WEEBLE.. well NO.. a gentle reminder

to "SHUT OFF THE CHAIR!"... :-)

Every time I tried to move the blanket it hit the

joy stick.. the chair moved and got UNDER my

wheels... I was STUCK!!! I bet it took me an hour

to get that blanket from under my wheels and

chair before I could move out of that closet.. I

swear the crap I do !!! This chair life is such fun!
LB just sat and watched, as soon as I DID get out

of that closet he went back up to his perch.. His

blanket wasn't up there though.. I cant get it back

up there, so hes not gonna be too comfy up there

till Penny gets here Monday to put it back.. :-)

Ive not decided what is on the menu today.. That

fish Penny made yesterday was so good.. She and

I sure enjoyed it, she did a great job of cooking..

I will find something, I always do, that's part of

the problem ! Well no its NOT a problem really,

I am most grateful that I can go out there and

find something that I want to eat.. so many cant..

so.. to that this GORGEOUS WEEBLE says,

"Thank you Lord" and to Y'all.. "I shall Return!"

Always, Lois ***

~BRRRR-- Tis COLD!~ :-)

BRRRRRR... talk about COLD! wow.!. My windows are

all those thermo pane double glass kind, and there

is sposta be NO drafts.. Well when its below zero

it WILL get through.. :-) Right now the temp is

10 degrees.. with the windchill making it seem like

its about 4 below zero. Not real windy, made up for

that yesterday.. by late afternoon though was still

bitter cold but the sun kept trying to peek thru..

The cats little feet are cold.. I am debating on making

them slippers :-) I think LB would wear them, Dutch?

That kid aint doing NOTHING that I want him to :-)
He wont wear a collar.. LB will.. I made them each one,

lovely really nice, elastic too, so there was no danger

of them choking.. LB strutted around, he liked looking

good with that collar on.. Dutch? Well... I put his on,

and about 15 minutes later, I'm sitting at my puter

and this cat comes running up to me, LB right behind,

I look down at Dutch and his whole face is bloody...

I almost freaked... He had dug at the collar and got

it caught in his mouth, yet still around his neck.. He

kept digging at his face, well his mouth to get it

unstuck and kept clawing and drew blood.. Needless

to say I got it off and neither of my boys will wear

a colllar again.. Even though they look so cute with

them on... :-)

Today, Penny is here, she braved the cold. I told

her she needs one of those indoor starters for her

car .. David had one.. So by the time he went outside

the car was warm and the windshield defogged :-)

She went to the store since she and I BOTH are

hungry for fish.. She loves it and no one at her house

does...So she doesn't fix fish.. Today she and I are

gonna enjoy some fresh cod.. Nice big chunks, dipped

in egg, then some of those great Progresso Italian

bread crumbs.. only kind I will use.. They are seasoned

so great.. I use them in anything that takes bread

crumbs. Then shes gonna fry them on the stove.. I cant

wait and I know she cant either.. :-)


Donnie keeps bragging about the great fish in his lake

that he gets, when he has time to go, perch mainly or

crappie I think.. not sure.. I steady ask him to bring me

some but he never does.. :-) I talked to Joe, my landlord,

he lives down here on Palmer Lake, he said he can see

lots of ice shacks on it.. Knowing people are fishing.. He

doesn't go.. Can you imagine the view he must have?
Lucky dog :-) I told him that would be the only thing

that could be improved about this place ..... if it was on

the lake... Oh well.. cant have it all.. Joe did say that

perhaps maybe THIS summer I could go over to his

place and take a nice pontoon ride.. THAT would be

GREAT!...

Well lunch is almost ready and this GORGEOUS
WEEBLE is hungry :-) You knew that though :-) So..

that means post time and for my "I shall Return!" :-)

Always, Lois ****

God Bless You, is my prayer today,

I'm so honored to call you "friend".

~Snow, Birds and Meat Pie~ :-)

We are having a super storm today.. The winds are

whipping thru the yard almost making it a white out

at times.. Yet the birds are still out there in this cold!
This is good meat pie weather :-)
The wind knocked my windchimes down!!! :-(
With the wind the windchill its making it colder....the

temperature is BELOW zero.. BRRRRRRR.... I am so

amazed the birds are out there by the dozens today!

Id be in a nice warm tree! :-)

I counted 4 cardinals at one time out there ! With

20 mile an hour winds they must have some strong

wing strength to be able to fly in this.. :-) Woodie

was out there too :-)
Well... I want you to know, that meat pie photo there?
Half is gone... It is SO good!! Penny did a great job

and put in just the right amount of water to make it

really juicey.. THATS what makes them good.
She does a nice crust too.. Its not a homemade crust,

a already made one, which, is excellent.. its just like

home made, plus its so much easier, to just warm it

up a tad.. then unroll it and put it on top your pie.. So

very easy....
This pie- I forgot to have Penny pick up some rutabaga!

but, it really makes them even better.. Some that I have

given this recipe to and that make pasty's put carrots

in and YOU KNOW I aint gonna do that.. I do NOT

like them no matter WHAT they are in.. I don't keep

carrots here at all.. :-) The main ingredients are minced

beef as its called in the UK or ground beef as we call it..

Plus sliced potatoes and diced onion.. Mix it up so the

beef is distributed all thru the potatoes, I mix them in

a big bowl, then put into the pie pan.. I don't put a bottom

crust either,, just the top .. I add water, the juice from

the beef is not enough to cook the potatoes by the time

the crust is done.. And if there is NOT enough juice they

tend to be dry.. I don't like that.. Oh, don't forget to put

in salt and pepper when your mixing it up... Pile it high

cuz it will shrink down as the potatoes get soft.. :-)

Cut a few slits in the top and bake it for about hour and

a half at 350 degrees or until the potatoes are done.

Stick a knife in it to test and find out.. When its done,

let it rest for a few minutes to calm down.. then cut a

huge chunk out of it and ENJOY~!!~ I heartily recommend

it.. I should put a cook book together for fast easy

recipes for amputees :-)

Ive not had any problems with my keyboard today...

"knock on wood" but I am on guard.. I have NO idea

what is wrong.. I asked Raife to ask his son, but not

heard back .. I sure hope its NOT my computer.. but

it sure makes me wonder since this new one did the

same thing.. Always something...

Lunch time and you KNOW what I'm having.. just look

at the photo and imagine half of THAT gone ! :-) They

sent strawberries yesterday with the COA lunch but

I didn't eat them, which is surprising cuz I LOVE

strawberries.. I'm gonna eat them today.. while I watch

this snow storm... Right now its almost a white out, but

the sun is trying to get through.. it peeks out at times.

This snow wont let the sun win... :-)

Post time, lunch time and snow watching time for this

GORGEOUS WEEBLE... Aint life grand? I LOVE IT!!!

I say "Thank you Lord".. And.. I shall return!!! :-)

Always, Lois ****

~Wonderin Whats Wrong!~

Well... I logged onto this puter this morning all

happy that I could type again.. and guess what???

This NEW keyboard didn't work!!! I had it plugged

into the back USB port.. nothing.. I put it in the front

port.. you see I am typing.. I'm beginning to wonder

could it be my computer ? NOT the keyboard? I don't

know what else to think.. I hate when things don't work

right... To fix this I had to move everything to get to

the back of this big box, I knocked the 2 speakers off

the top, I almost dumped the whole table over, its on

wheels.. but not stable ones.. Its a cheap little table, so

its not firm and steadfast...But I need to figure out
whats wrong! :-(
I'm glad Penny is here, she will help me clean up.. :-)

shes gone to the store right now, took us forever to

decide what to cook.. I tell her its up to her shes the

cook.. Poor thing.. she has to fix a big dinner for all

her guys that live at her house and the one woman...

Kathy, Penny said she hopes she moves and SOON!
Shes a real pain in the butt from what I gather...
I'm glad this is working but I think this is NOT a

normal happening.. I will ask Raife, his son is a guru

when it comes to computers and maybe Adam will

know if it COULD be this computer and not the key

board at all.. If it is then I threw away one that

worked.. Oh well.. But I need to find out.. I HOPE

its not my computer.. I need to know though...

I have 2 squirrels outside.. One is huge, a real fatty.

The other has a broken tail! I noticed him the other

day.. The 2 of them cannot be in the birdbath eating

at the same time.. The bigger of the two will run the

broke tail one off.. Its fun to watch them though..

The black and white kittie knows when hes there it

seems as he always seems to show up when squirrley

is eating.. :-)

I thought I would give you an update as to how I feel.

How my stumps feel lately.. And I have to say I don't

or havent been lately really suffering from severe

phantoms.. The right one will hurt if I lay a certain

way, kinda when I put extra stress on it.. But I notice

when I lay there in the morning before I get up, I

do a body scan to see just what hurts and what doesn't

and how I feel in general.. lately I have been feeling

good.. I do have a cough though and I have had a sore

throat the past week.. Nothing major, but takes my

breath away.. I never knew I had a breathing problem

till I went down to Indy for my first abdominal bypass.

Before they would do the surgery, which was a MAJOR

deal.. I guess I was blocked mid body or somewhere..

they wouldn't do the surgery till they knew my heart

and breathing were ok.. I spent 3 days there just doing

tests first.. then the bypass which they cut me from

just above my belly button to just above you know where..

When they did the heart bypass they just joined those

two scars .. the Drs joked about that .. When I had my

2nd abdominal bypass in 2000 after my triple heart

bypass they went in at my neck, down my left side, inside,

then they cut across my lower stomach hip to hip... I

forgot how many staples for that.. it was one of the

scars that got infected and I had to go back into

hospital for that, the summer of 2000.. Wasn't a good

year...

The breathing tests came back that I wasn't getting

enough air and I had to have one of those spray thingies.

Over the next year or so the Dr just quit them and I

have no idea why.. But I notice every once in a while...

I feel like I'm not getting GOOD air.. And I do have a

tad of a sore throat.. Always something..


Well its lunch time and of course this GORGEOUS
WEEBLE is hungry.. Meat pie.. Penny makes a really

pretty one.. I will take a photo so you can see it. I

wish you could taste it as well.. Donnie said they

ate EVERY bit of the one I sent home with him..

Theyre easy, fast and DELICIOUS !! :-) Post time!
But.. "I shall return!! "... :-)

Always, Lois ****

God Bless You, is my prayer today,

~TADA! I Have Keyboard!~ :-)

About an hour after I posted yesterday there

was a knock on my front door and it was the

wonderful UPS delivery guy! He handed me a

box and there it was! I was very pleased.. I now

as you see have the i , d, m, 9 and the sad face

:-( but I don't need it now !!! :-) :-) The other

keyboard was practically new, only a few months

I had used it.. then last week all those letters

and symbols quit working. It was a Microsoft

keyboard.. I will stick to Logitech.. this one is

great.. I WILL get a spare though, and a mouse,

just in case this happens again.. Then my patience

wont be tested! That's how we learn though :-) But

aint it a beauty ? :-) I am most grateful... :-)
Our snow disappeared with all the rain but as of

yesterday its back again.. When Penny got here

yesterday there was none on the ground... by the

time she left 3 hours later the ground had a light

covering.. Sadly when the snow melted it showed

my front yard.. It almost made me sick.. There was

and STILL IS... dog poopies all over out there..
The ground is covered with piles of it.. I guess they
figured that it would just dissolve when the snow did..

They figured wrong... Its embarrassing.. its in front

of my place, not just theirs... I hope the photos don't

make you sick like it almost did me to actually SEE it !
I did call Joe and I sent him the photos via email.. Joe,

is my landlord... He was most upset. They are 4 months

behind on their rent.. Neither is working over there.

I'm glad to see the dogs arent starving.. They are on

unemployment.. and there is NO work here at all.. Mark

went everywhere.. People that have jobs here are

hanging on to them for dear life.. But back to the issue,

they need to clean up after their dogs!

Travis was here today, got here about 10.. hes a nice kid.

We discussed my plan of attack for the future.. I told him

about my resolution to not bring the crap from last year to

this one and to get things straight.. The only thing left to

fix is this Dr visit thing.. We discussed it a lot and I told

him I have contacted everyone I can think of.. I need my

pills refilled and I should NOT be FORCED to have to take

my chair out in snow! They could send a nurse here to take

my vitals since that's just what they would do if I went in

to the office.. THIS is my only carry over.. I had hoped

to get it straight before this year started, but.. I bet its

fixed by the end of February or I will know WHY! :-)

Being without a keyboard for 5 days I did get a lot of

little things done.. I fixed a couple of my tops that the

seams had ripped out.. AND I did fix the skirt that this

chair ripped off me :-) And I made an apron for Pennys

grand daughter.. I got some stuff done.. And I watched

some great movies.. One flew Over The Cuckoos Nest

and Greystokes Tarzan.. Great movies.. two of my very

best favorites.. The Tarzan one is the best one made,

Ive seen a lot of them.. since I was little.. :-) If you

havent seen them I highly recommend them :-)


Its good to be back and I know you have missed reading

about my daily dramas.. I feel really good, which puts me

on guard.. but things are going smooth and to that this

GORGEOUS WEEBLE says, "thank you Lord".. Time to

post and eat some lunch.. dunno what today.. I may wait

to see what the COA lunch is.. might be good! :-) But..

it IS good to be typing again.. remember.. "I SHALL

Return!!" :-)

~My Birthday Today!~ :-)

Today is my day and it started off of course with

the boys waking me up.. :-) Penny got here and she

had a cake for me.. my fav.. a white cake with, of

course, chocolate frosting :-) Rebecca phoned and

she will be by later she said...But other than that, I

have no plans for today...Just a nice quiet day.. I like

those..but.. its Happy Birthday to me today .. 65 years

YOUNG!!!! :-) There is a photo just taken by

Penny of this GORGEOUS WEEBLE :-)
I got a couple happy birthday phone calls last nite

that I thoroughly enjoyed...I like getting phone calls.

And I had another call this morning.. Its so nice to

know that someone cares about you.....Gives me the

'warm fuzzies' as they call them :-)
was watching my back yard and theres a new kittie

that Ive seen up there by the ramp mans house, but

never in my yard.. I couldn't figure out what it was

out there at first, was a big dark blob of fur! Then

he turned and this poor kittie was so hungry he was

eating the bread Penny put out there for the birds!

His fur was icky and he kept his tail down, it was

never up.. I hated seeing that.. I hope he has a home,

but from the looks of him.. he doesn't.. poor kittie..

I should put something out there for cat food I

guess..but I don't want to run the birds off either,

yet I cant stand seeing a hungry animal either.. Ive

never seen a place with so many wandering cats...I

don't see but VERY few wandering dogs. Talking

about food...
That photo is of the meat sauce and penne pasta

that Penny made.. Doesn't it look good? A friend

sent a photo of their dinner and I thought I would

take a picture of my dinner to share .. :-)

My webcam is not working at all.. I tried to take a

movie with Pennys digital camera and it only records

in quick time and unless I buy the quick time pro 7 it

wont let me convert it to another format.. Plus it was

46 MB.. which is WAY too big.. It was a nice little

movie and I was gonna take a few frames off of it

like I did with the webcam movies.. Well quick time

wont let you.. And MOST digital cameras record in

it.. I looked on the net for a free converter for it,

but.. well I wasn't smart enough to find it :-)

I will get another webcam so I can take photos again.

It was easy to do both make movies and take photos..

I maybe will buy myself one for my birthday.. :-)

this GORGEOUS WEEBLE is another year older,

but BETTER :-) I shall return!!! :-)

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...

~Sticky i ~ :-(

My i is acting up again.. I had to beat the daylights

out of my keyboard to get it to work... Its a new key

board only a few months old, so its not that its worn

out.. When my nubbies wear off of the j and f keys

I have to replace my keyboard.. I cant look at my key

board when I type.. If I do I slow way down in typing.

I was taught the old way to type.. The teacher I had

in 10th grade, Miss Swanson was a great teacher...

She taught me, my sister AND my dad to type! :-)

The first day in her class she would tell you that you

had 3 days, as she handed you a picture of a keyboard.,

to LEARN and memorize that keyboard.. She tested us

all the time.. When that 3rd day came.. she walked up

and down between the desks going to each one of us

while we typed. She would hold a piece of paper over

the keyboard so we couldn't see it..If you stopped

typing, well you did NOT memorize that keyboard! I

remember I even had dreams about learning it.. And

I can say I did learn and at one time I could almost

type 100 words a minute.. I was very fast.

Ive slowed down in typing speed, but I very seldom

make a mistake.. well with spell checker in every email

program you don't need to worry, you will get a red

line under the misspelled ones, at least in Incredimail..

But to this day, I cant look at my hands.. I look at what

I am typing, and if the nubbies are worn off I have to

replace the keyboard.. The nubbies on those 2 keys

are place points for your index fingers so you can

just put your hands on there and feel so you know you

will use the right letters... without looking.. I could be

blind and still type. Miss Swanson did a good job.. :-)

Poor Travis is sick.. He was due to come today and he

phoned about 9 or so, sounded awful.. all stuffy and

coldified... :-) new word :-) he had a bad cold.. so he

said he wasn't coming today, which is ok.. I like the

quiet days :-) I have nothing else planned for today,

I may call Rebecca to see why she didn't come by last

Wednesday like she said she was... Most times she

will let me know.. When I don't hear from her it makes

me worry something is up.. *sigh* :-)

I plan to call my sis tonite to check on Stanley.. I am

sure hes doing ok.. I bet Shirley is wore out as I

know she is up at that hospital every day for hours

and then goes home to finish up all the Christmas

requests she had for lounge pants, purses and what

all... She stays busy... I'm sure if he wasn't doing

well she would phone or Bev would contact me on

Yahoo...or send a email....

I'm gonna post this and watch a movie. I LOVE
movies.. No commercials... I get so sick of those,

they advertise so many pills now- but listen to the

side effects.. they almost make you laugh! I cant

imagine someone deliberately taking a pill knowing

it will cause deaf dumb or blindness! :-) and many

do.. :-) Listen sometimes to what they say.. it IS

funny.. :-)

Well, this laughing GORGEOUS WEEBLE is done

~We Made It Thru The Weekend~ :-)

We survived the week end without too much of

a mess. We did good.. :-) Penny made it today and

shes making some spaghetti sauce for me.. I use

that Classico in a jar, the 4 cheese flavor and I

have to say that is EXCELLENT! Its really good

for a jar sauce...I always used Prego and added

a can of tomato paste and sauce to it.. Along with

my own secret add ons :-) And it was really good..

But this Classico.. its VERY GOOD! You really don't

even have to add paste or sauce, its good by itself.

I highly recommend it.. :-) That's what our dinner

is today, Rigatoni and meat sauce.. I do have some

frozen meatballs I might put in too.. I havent

decided yet.. But I can put them in any time..theyre

already cooked..

All the birds came by this morning.. I hadnt seen them

in a few days.. I worry every time they don't come by

but usually in a day or two the flock is back.. The

squirrel was in the birdbath chowing down and I saw

another squirrel over in Carls yard.. I knew if it came

over here they would fight.. Ive seen one squirrel run

another off.. He stayed over there tho.. Squirrels love

sunflower seeds.. Meijers is having a sale on seed. Its

buy 1 get 1 bag free of both kinds.. bird and sunflower,

So I am going to get it of course, that's what we watch

for are the sales :-) Penny is good at keeping up on them.

Other than that I have nothing planned for today.. When

I started to write this blog.. The i on this keyboard did

not register.. I was upset.. How can you write with out

an i ? Wouldn't be easy.. So anyway after hitting the i

key about a dozen times.. I picked up my keyboard and

banged it on the desk a few times and put it back down,

tried the i again.. well.. you see it :-) I need one of those

keyboard vacuums :-) Tapping works.. I have NO idea

what was under it to stop it from registering as nothing

fell out! :-)

I have to stop watching the shows about Haiti.. I saw

one show that almost made me sick.. Two men and one

was a Dr.. He was showing a reporter what was going

on in back of a make shift hospital.. It showed a front

end loader.. A big truck, with a scoop on the front.. and

it was picking up dead bodies and dumping them into

another truck and they were to be put into a huge grave.

I have never seen so many dead people and It really

upset me .. I wont watch any more of it.. I feel so bad

for these people...but I cant watch anymore.. I don't

want to see it.. I cant even imagine what its like, from

all reports ive heard there will be BILLIONS of dollars

sent.. 10 million from the USA.... Its nice to help these

countries.. but well... it aint too good here either.. that

10 million sure could help OUR country... Just MY

opinion... Charity begins at home.. THEN help the others.

We need lots of help here too.. More than the world

even knows I think...

Well enough on that and I'm gonna go help Penny with

our lunch.. Holiday today, so no mail.. :-( I was looking

forward to getting some birthday cards :-) I wont be

able to get mail tomorrow as no one will be here .. so

wed... I should hopefully have a mail box FULL!!! :-)

This GORGEOUS WEEBLE is done for today.. I hope

you had a great week end... :-) Remember!!! I SHALL
Return! :-)
