~Fed Up With Charter Cable~ :-(

We have budness :-)

It just about ruins my whole day if I get mad

or upset when I first get up.. And today was

one of those days.. I got woke up by Dutch

running over me, and no matter what I did,, he

would NOT stop.. I HAD to get up.. So.. I go

and turn on my computer.. go feed the cats,

and it was almost time for Penny to get here,

so I let her make coffee... I went to see who

had sent email.. Well- I had NO Inter Net!! I

turned on my phone.. it was dead too!! This

is almost a daily thing lately.. And I, for one,

am TOTALLY fed up with CHARTER.. :-(

I waited and kept checking my phone.. it went

off and on about 3 times.. Finally I had a steady

dial tone.. I called..They DONT hesitate to send

a bill .. ONE MONTH in ADVANCE too!!.. And if

you don't pay it on time, they will STEADY phone

and send a letter almost EVERY day till you do..

BUT when I don't have Internet, or phone or

crap cable.. they say, "We will send a guy out,

and if its inside wiring YOU pay for the repair".

I will NOT pay for their defective equipment...

I honestly wish I hadnt gotten this bundle thing.

I lose my phone at least once a day, and my cable

is awful.. My contract runs out in September and
I SERIOUSLY doubt I will renew anything with

them.. I think I will check out a dish or something.
CHARTER CABLE sucks.. Theyre worse than

Comcast... And their help.. well lets not even go

there.. I hate Drama... specially first thing in the

morning .. it ruins my whole day.. PLUS it gives me

a raging headache...

We are sposta have temps in the very high 70's

possibly 80's.. for the next 2 days.. I think we

are gonna skip spring again..like we did last year..

There are buds on the trees already, my lilac

bush/tree..or what ever.. is loaded with buds..

I will be glad when its warm just to save on my

gas bill.. I will be SO glad when I DONT hear

that furnace kick on... :-)

I feel good today, even though I had a rough

start.. My tailbone spot is still sore, but it IS

better.. Just warm, moist cloth always works..

I am sitting a lot easier.. But I will be honest,

I get so SICK of this chair.. I really do.. and

some days I HATE that I am in it.. but yet

grateful I have it.. or I would be in bed or on

the floor and I DONT do floors.. :-) I DO

know I sure get sick and tired of hearing that

click though the joy stick makes.. I don't think

they make silent ones.. I am curious though,

and I do plan to call to see if I should have a

check up on this power chair.. the batterys

and cords.. plus I don't know if chargers can

go bad either if they need a yearly maintence.

I need to find out.. Id hate for this power

chair to go down and I have to use my manual

again.. I WOULD be wore out.. :-)

Time to make a list for Penny so she can go to

the store plus we need to decide what to fix

for lunch.. Its early for posting.. but I want

to get things done for today .. I have to have

some relaxing time to get over this MAD.. :-)

Food usually helps :-)

ANYHOWAY... This GORGEOUS WEEBLE is

posting, eating and relaxing for the rest of the

day.. :-) I'm shutting this puter down and I don't

give a ratz pattootie if the Internet stays down

ALL day.. :-) As LONG as I have my phone :-)
So.. until tomorrow.. remember "I shall return!"

Always, Lois ****



God Bless You, is my prayer today,

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

~Carl Does Good Work~

We saw Carl yesterday going out to work in his

garage, so I sent Penny over there to ask him

if he would fix my birdseed stand platform. It

was old and rotten and parts of it were breaking

off.. Penny noticed it when she put the food out

there for them this morning, so I told her when

we saw Carl again, if she would.. go and ask him

to fix it for me.. She did... :-)
Bluey had to check it out.. :-) It works! :-)

I didn't see him come over and to do it.. but he

must have right away.. He even doubled the thickness,

He just didn't paint it.. but it looks ok.. I'm happy with

it.. He does good work... :-)
You see how the birdbath is tipped over.. I don't

know who did it.. But this is the first time its

tipped over.. I know Penny said it had water in it

yesterday so maybe when she tipped it back.. she didn't

make sure it was stable.. The base of it.. is all full

of sand.. which gives it the weight.. its only plastic.

Penny is looking for another one.. FOR water :-)

Travis came today and we had a good visit.. Hes a

very nice guy.. He stayed for quite awhile and we

talked about everything.. All my worries and drama.

I am honest with him and I tell him just how I do

feel about everything.. I trust him.. I just hope he

never betrays that trust... or I wouldn't be able to

talk to him at all.. He mentioned about the drama

with the cancer guy and Wal Mart.. I wont spend a

dime in that store ever again.. just for the way they

are treating this poor man.. If one of them had a

prescription to take a pain pill during working hours

they wouldn't hesitate.. This man has a prescription

to be able to smoke to handle his pain.. What is the

difference? Not fair as far as I'm concerned.. And

as much as I LOVE Wal Mart.. I will NEVER spend a

dime in that store again. Penny knows NOT to go

there for me. I would be most upset.. If they change

their policy.. THEN I might let her go there again

to shop.. It IS a great store..AND I will be the first

to tell you its got a lot more than Meijers.. BUT.. I
STILL wont spend my money there..

Well enuff for today.. I am having some left over

scalloped potatoes .. They were.. ARE very good..
Penny did a GREAT job with them.. :-) So.. This

GORGEOUS WEEBLE is posting this and gonna eat.

I Shall Return tho! :-)

~I Was Late~

I got a phone call at what showed to be 7:03 on my cable

box, early for a phone call and I mentioned that .. I said

to the caller that they were up early, which it would

have been 6:03 their time.. The reply was.. "No... its

8:03 here, which meant 9:03 here, NOT 7!! I sat

for a minute and realized that's why Dutch was acting

like a brat REALLY trying to wake me up.. Was my

cable box wrong? I got into my chair to check my

computer and that's when I heard Penny cough!.. She

was in the kitchen feeding the kitties and making

coffee.. It WAS after 9! I was late :-)

I rolled out to my computer, turned it on and it said

after 9 too.. I went to the kitchen and Penny was

there and the clock said after 9.. I THEN went back

to my cable box in my bedroom to see what the problem

was and it was the cable.. Apparently the TV shut off

but NOT the cable and I had free showtime all week

end which one of the channels is 703! :-) Took me a

few minutes but I figured it out.. I just had to turn

the TV on then off and the time on the box was right.

Always something.. Great start for a Monday :-) I

hope that's not any indication of what this week is

gonna be like.. The sore spot... well its still there.. I

AM sitting better.. Its not healed by any means.. but

its NOT worse.. The warm washcloth seems to be

helping.. and I am VERY glad.. This is getting very

old.. I hate lingering problems.. I just want this spot

cleared up... YESTERDAY :-)

Penny came today we are all clean.. she did laundry

and made a casserole of scalloped potatoes for me

for my dinner.. We are running out of ideas of what

to cook ! Penny is a good cook.. Her boarders tell her

all the time as she provides supper for them.. Just

1 meal a day...Shes not gotten too many complaints..

She did really good with the stuffed peppers.. I

enjoyed all 4 of them :-)

So, other than this and what ever may transpire

during this afternoon, all is clean and we are good

to go.. I have NO plans for the rest of the day..

Tomorrow Travis is due to come here.. that is my

only appointment this week , unless Rebecca calls

and asks to come by but I don't think so.. maybe

next week;... ANYHOWAY...

Its time for this GORGEOUS WEEBLE to post this

and get on with this day.. Only 2 days till the 1st.. I

am SO ready to see my checkbook smile at me ! :-)
Post time, lunch time and to remind you .. I shall

Return!! :-)

Always, Lois ****

~Good Day Yesterday~ :-)

Yesterday was a great day.. I had a sore tail..

butt it was soothed by getting some great mail

and my sister and Stanley came all the way up

here to visit AND to bring goodies.!. :-) I LOVE
when she cleans out her closets! :-) Our tastes

are a lot alike.. Except she doesn't like the silk

like I do.. But we both like bright cheery clothes.

Not dark and dull.. We like to let everyone know

"HERE WE ARE! "... :-) We are alike in so many

ways, I think that's why we got along from the

first day we met.. We like the same things.. I

find that so amazing being as how we both were

raised in such different environments .

Shirley and I have the same temperament.. we

are very easy to get along with as long as you

are honest and straight forward with us... We

are both very trustworthy, respectful.. both can

draw, and we both are VERY talented seamstress's.

That's the truth even though you might say I am

blowing my own horn too... I just think its great

that we do get along like this.. not meeting each

other until we were both in our 30's... :-)

Shirley has been making baby clothes for her new

great grand and the new one that's due in may.. both

girls.. She brought along a dress she made for I

think her name is Kylie Rose, her daughter Rose's

daughter, Candis's baby... :-) She made matching

panties and a hat.. It was the cutest thing.. It had

the little dangling balls hanging from the edge of

the hat.. and she even found TINY baby snaps for

the back of the dress.. We both prefer snaps to

buttons.. Button holes are such a pain in the butt

to do.. Snaps are so much easier, and they were

yellow.. :-) I can just see that baby in that dress..

I hope she takes a photo! :-)


POOR STANLEY... He had open heart surgery ...

what 3 weeks ago? maybe a month? He had his

left hand done for carpal tunnel on Friday! He

was in agony.. He said the heart surgery didn't

hurt as bad as his hand does.. Its got to be the

size of a football with the bandage and all.. I

told him to keep it up.. which he knows DOES
help.. He forgot his sling.. which.. He is a typical

man.. He hears what the Dr says, but STILL

does things HIS way.. The pain will ease.. but

its gonna take time.. They did about 3 different

repairs in his hand.. I feel for the guy.. Next

week or soon, hes gonna have the right one

done... :-(

I have carpal tunnel really bad, I used to have

braces I wore on each hand.. they have become

lost.. but that's why my thumbs arent working..

My left thumb hurts me so bad some days I

could just scream.. I cant trust it at all to hold

anything heavy.. The ball at the base of my palm

is what REALLY hurts.. That's why I cant hardly

sew anymore.. Bad thing is.. I CANT go and get

it fixed.. How would I transfer? I have to use

my hand to hold on.. and to move.. So.. I cant

have it done.. Well maybe if I wanted to be bed

bound for 10 weeks... That's not possible I would

go totally insane. ! ....

My sore spot is NOT any worse, butt.. its not

better either.. I did find a comfy way to lay

after about an hour.. I was watching bull riding

and fell asleep.. I woke up about 330.. made a

potty call.. and back to bed.. Luckily I found

the same great spot and snuggled down and

fell asleep till I looked at the clock at 6:30,

fell back to sleep and I did NOT get this lazy

butt up till 9:45!!!!

It is such a gloomy dark day, and its been nice,

sunny.. Well being this dark I just figured it

was earlier .. like 8 or so .. my usual time I got

up.. I was so surprised to see I had slept that

long :-) I guess I was tired! :-) I feel pretty good

well except for this SPOT! I am really tired of

it.. I need to get rid of it.. I hate lingering crap!
I like when problems clear up FAST.. and I HATE

when I don't get my way :-) I sound so bad don't

I? Reminds me of Kelli.. and her "I HATE TO WAIT!"

I have some leftover stuffed green peppers that

I'm gonna have for lunch.. They are SO good.. We

did a good job on them...Penny made 4 :-) Well- I

thought maybe I would call and offer two of them

to the boy.. :-) Well .... I didn't.. and I'm keeping

them all for myself....... they arent HUGE.. so I

ate 2 before.. and there are 2 left.. :-) I wont

have to do anything other than just heat them up..

As lazy as I am today, sleeping this late.. A fast

fix lunch is in order :-)

For some reason I am getting free showtime.. I

have NO idea why.. But SHHHH don't tell.. I was

scanning the channels.. and I DO get HBO and
Cinemax.. but not showtime.. I think its just a

promo thing.. But ALL these movie channels and

I couldn't find anything I wanted to watch.. That's

sad.. The choices were crappy! HBO never changes

their movies.. I watched Cops and Bull Riding.. PBR..

Those boys sure get whooped sometimes.. I bet

theyre sore the next day.. SO anyhoway.....


Its post time for this GORGEOUS WEEBLE..

I got a new movie yesterday from a dear friend..

I plan to watch it.. Last Chance Harvey,, Dustin

Hoffman.. I like him.. So that's what the rest

of my day will be.. I hope you are having a great

Sunday too.. Remember now.. I SHALL return!!


Always, Lois ****

~Fat Robin~

FAT ROBIN!!! :-)

I slept till 9:35.!. I could have even slept longer.
I am STILL tired... I had NO choice but to get

up, both the boys were going totally crazy, LB

was whining "Mom,Mom".. and Dutch.. he kept

licking my face or putting his foot on my cheek

tapping it.. I had NO choice but to get up.. :-)
I have NO plans at all for today, well I have

to feed the boys and write this.. Those are my

only TO DO's... The rest is zilch, nada, zip-a-

de-do.. Nothing to do :-)

I had Penny take a look at that spot on my tail

bone.. She says its NOT open.. but very red.. Its

like a diaper rash I guess.. and I made the mistake

of putting some cream I got when I was in hospital

on it when it first started.. THATS what did it .. I

think so anyway.. I should be used to this by now

it happens so much... but it seems every time it

does.. the stuff I use the last time wont work a

second time.. So I don't know.. That's why I have

resorted to just plain hot water and hopefully that

will do it.. It worked on my left stump when some

of the most expensive healing crap was used AND
didn't work.. not on THAT infection anyway...I just

hope this works.. Its so hard to find a way to sit,

let alone lay down, that doesn't hurt.. Its getting

old.. I think its part of why I am so tired.. Every

move hurts and wakes me up.. I go right back to

sleep most of the time.. but I'm not getting enough

time asleep.. I wake up too much ... I dunno.. I'm

guessing and trying to rationalize... :-)

There is the biggest stink going on with Wal Mart,

in Battle Creek, not far from me, a fight with a

guy that has cancer and smokes pot... Its all over our

TV.. I think they are being unfair.. they claim "company

policy" I understand that.. BUT.. why cant they

make a 'special dispensation'.. for this? There are

people working there I BET that have taken pain

pills or even had a drink ! Maybe for lunch? This

guy is legally allowed to have pot.. I am waiting to

see just what they do.. Wal Mart wont back down,

but all the pro-pot groups are picketing and are

putting on demonstrations about this.. I just wish

they would look better.. the protestors I mean..

Some look so awful.. like they ARE druggies and

arent really in this fight for the RIGHT reason..

To get this so called DRUG.. legal for the right

reason.. not just to get high... Its a big issue..

I think California is being smart.. they know where

extra money is to get.. Tax on Pot! Bet it saves

that state too ! Michigan is in dire straits.. and it

worries me.. Flint, a huge city.. laid off half its

police and fire department people. many towns

not far from me have done the same thing.. Our

schools don't have enough funding.. How CAN it

be so expensive to have someone stand in front

of kids and TEACH them? Where is the expense?
Well though.. to be honest, I believe in HOME

Schooling.. I would NOT send my child to public

schools anyway.. One school here said.. "every kid

has to bring his own toilet paper".. Is THAT sad?
Plus all the shootings .. What is this world coming

to.. No one is safe.. Not like it was 30 years ago..

I just got surprise phone call from my sister! She

is on her way here for a visit! :-) So.. I gotta get

my hair combed and ready I GOT to look like a

GORGEOUS WEEBLE !! :-) Time to post anyway..

Happy Weekend ! :-) Remember I shall return!

~CA is a Smart State~

Squirrely was here.. :-)

I heard California is going or HAS already

lealized marijuana.. Smart state.. The gov't

will soon realize since our economy is so bad

that the pot trade may be a new way to get

taxes.. Its legal here in Michigan but you have

to have a Drs ok.. And then you have to pay

$200.oo to get analyzed first to see if you

really NEED it.. THEN.. you have to find some

one to grow it for you... Its not just a 'go and

get it thing'. I truly believe in the power it

has to heal and help a person.. I always have

since the first day I knew about it and I still

feel the same way even now..
I quit smoking it quite a few years ago.. been a

VERY long time.. There is a major issue now

going on with a poor man that has cancer.. And

I don't care what ANYONE says.. Marijuana

HELPS cancer patients... He works or worked

at Wal Mart.. They fired him.. and he HAS

pot legally.. They know he tests positive and

its against company policy so they are assuming

hes smoking at work.. Which I'm sure he isnt.

Because hes given this special dispensation to

smoke I am sure he wouldn't abuse it.. Most

that criticize "smokers" have NEVER tried it

or even been around it.. They only know what

they read.. And until you walk in someones

shoes.. you have NO idea... I think it should be

legalized.. I REALLY DO. I am saddened at

what Wal Mart has done..

It helped me a lot when I smoked.. It kept me

calm.. happy, and REALLY eased the phantoms..

Gave me an appetite which.. for some.. need that.
I really don't.. but ... we are all different.. There

is NO way I would smoke now to jeopardize my

grant or my disability stuff.. but ifn I could.. well

I say "puff puff puff" :-) I think they should have

legalized it years ago.. Id rather see someone

smoke than drink.. I do NOT like drinking at all..

Well to excess.. Nothing worse than a drunk... I

think drinking causes more car accidents and

divorces than ANY drug there is.. I just saw on

TV where a dad had his boy, 7, for the day. he

had a few beers.. and took the boy down the road

with the biggest deadliest weapon a person could

have.. a vehicle.. they were in an accident.. the

dad is now on trial for manslaughter in killing his

son.. How sad is that... What a thing to have to

live with the rest of your life.. knowing a drink

was more important than your childs life.. I

say beer, wine, liquor.. should be banned.. I thought

prohibition times were great.. :-) Need that back

again..

Well there is my 2 cents on those subjects! :-)
But that's how I feel.. :-) We are making 4 big

stuffed peppers today.. I am SO hungry for

them I cant wait till theyre done.. :-)


My sis called last night.. and poor Stanley is gonna

have carpal tunnel surgery.. My poor Sister I should

say... Stanley is a dear man.. but VERY hyper.. After

just being down from the heart surgery was hard

enough on him and about drove my sister insane.. I

can just see him after carpal tunnel surgery and not

being able to use his hands!! I told her I hope she

has a lot of duct tape so she can tie him down! :-)

Shes sure got a lot of fun ahead.. :-)

Time for this GORGEOUS WEEBLE to post this

for today and check out my peppers.. I am SO
HUNGRY!! :-) Remember though.. "I shall return!"

~Slow Month~

I don't know about anyone else, but this month

to me is REALLY dragging! The first two just

seemed to fly by.. Being a short month last month

I didn't run out of stuff so I didn't replace any

thing.. Now .. this being a longer month.. My stuff

ran out already which has caused me to get into

my checkbook which means I STILL cannot put

anything aside for a rainy day! AND its RAINING

today! :-) Not that I want to go shopping I really

don't need anything.. Personal stuff I mean.. For

the house, yes.. Some are needs, some are wants

for the house too.. Well new towels I dunno.. would

that be for me or the house? I do have towels..

I honestly don't think I have two that match tho..

:-) I did at one time.. what happened to them I

have NO idea.. So many of my things got ruined

in storage.. and I was not in the best state of

mind to take real notice when all was unpacked

as to what I had or didn't had.. :-) Mostly clothes

or towels.. this sort of things got damaged.. The

building had a leak, my things were moved to a

better place.. with my sister.. :-) Then this last

move.. a lot of my things didn't make the move,

as time goes by I think of things that are gone.

But they are only things.. and can be replaced...
Im the only thing that cant be :-)

I have decided to start putting a wet, warm cloth

on this spot on my tail bone.. I have to be honest,

it is worrying me a tad.. It is not improving at all

and seems to be worse AND more painful today..

I'm trying to watch how I sit so that I don't put

ANY pressure back there and try to spread it

out to my hips... This is NOT easy ... But I cant

afford to have a bad open spot back there that

I can barely reach and CANT see it at all.. :-)


I have been trying to find a way to see back

there.. Well .. I tell everything. and this is part

of what being in a wheel chair is all about.. well

not necessarily being in a chair.. you can get a

bad spot back there from laying in bed too.. So

its really hard to tell whats causing this.. I DO

know I have to figure out whats doing it so I

can stop and get rid of it.. I am keeping that

spot clean and dry so hopefully it will clear up,

just like my stump did.. I just cannot put any

thing on me anywhere that has fragile skin..
My tail bone has given me fits since day one of

being in this chair.. and I have NO doubt it

will continue as long as I continue to use one!
So... I have to come up with SOMETHING to

prevent or to cure faster, this bad spot I have,

and I'm sure many many others do too.. :-)

I had thought of taking a video... or using the

camera.. or having Penny take a picture for me..
But.. well I cant ask Penny to take a picture of

my butt.. :-) I tried mirrors.. that doesn't work.

This isnt a easy place to take a photo of.. well

not of yourself anyway.. Specially if you have

Short arms!!! :-) So right now.. since I cant get

a photo of it to SEE just how good or bad it

really is.. I have to go by touch.. And its not too

good a feel.. BUT I think the warm wash cloth

will work...It feels a tad raw.. which is NOT good.

I will keep a close feel on it :-)

What a subject :-) My next one is.. What is this

GORGEOUS WEEBLE gonna have for lunch? I

have a pasty out there that Penny made yesterday.

She made 2.. I ate half for lunch, half for supper..

I had very good intentions to freeze this second

one for Donnie..but.. we can make him another one

Friday .. :-) Although stuffed green peppers is

sounding VERY good to me for friday.. :-) Ive not

had those in awhile.. :-) Might be time !

I DO know that its Post time, lunch time and my

I shall return time! :-)

~New Toy?~

Nice day outside today.. I watched Carl over in the

garage where the pontoon is stored and his little

trailer he uses to haul stuff.. He took the trailer

out then he pushed out that little quad.. Isnt that

a neat toy ? I didn't see him ride off on it tho,

so it may belong to his son or daughter that live

here.. I like that blue.. so pretty... Matches the

blue jay.. :-)
The birds have been eating like crazy ... Penny

had to refil everything.. Even the outside cats

have been eating a lot.. I put the left overs of

the Cornish hen out there.. THAT did not last

long at all.. I'm going to send a photo to Becky,

shes my friend with ARF.. I'm not saying these

cats are all strays, but they sure eat like they

are.. To wait in line? And they do! They each

take a turn.. and whats so great.. none are pigs,

they leave some if another cat is waiting.. NOW

if one is out there alone.. They eat till its gone..

But Its costing me a tad more than I can afford

to feed 8 cats not counting my 2 in here.. But

I am pretty sure that she will donate a bag of

food for these cats... I hate to see a hungry animal..

and these are hungry..

My backache has eased a tad.. BUT now.. from laying

too much I think that bad spot on my tail bone is

REALLY sore.. I just cant seem to win! If I sit too

much OR lay too much this spot on the very bottom

of my spine.. right where my patootie butt starts..

is where this spot hurts.. and today.. this baby is just

SCREAMIN' at me.. Its a losing battle! I may have

to think about getting one of those foam toppers for

my mattress I can feel springs thru mine.. and that

may be part of the problem.. When Penny does the

bed Friday I'm going to have her put 2 or maybe

even 3 comforters on it and maybe that will help..

I don't sleep like anyone else.. Ive mentioned this

before.. I sleep sideways.. so my double bed..for me

is like a king.. Being SHORT.. I fit this way.. But I

also DONT Get under the covers.. I sleep on top my

comforters with a woolbie.. Well a blanket that is

made out of polar fleece.. they are very light weight

but super warm.. I would REALLY LOVE to have a

silk or satin comforter on my bed.. Dusty Rose color

:-) I think that will REALLY help me to transfer or

move around on my bed.. If I wear a silk skirt its

a lot easier to move..but cotton.. well THATS NOT

easy at all.. I have a lot of pillows on my bed too..

about 7 I think.. I have them in a U shape and I

crawl up into the center and snuggle down.. :-)

Penny came today.. we are all clean.. Shes gonna

make a pasty today, I have some left over ground

meat from making a huge hamburger yesterday

with sauteed onions.. It was SO GOOD... I had been

wanting a nice big juicey hamburger and that's just

what I made for my self.. and I enjoyed EVERY

bite of it.. THEN I took a nap :-)

Its post time and for this GORGEOUS WEEBLE to

close this for today.. I hope your day is as nice as

mine is.. Remember.. I Shall Return!! :-)

~BackAches~ :-(

I woke up with a worse backache .. its not any

better, in fact to even move it hurts.. Its up

high.. I'd say half way between my ribs.. At

times to even take a deep breathe it hurts..

I am trying different ways to lay down but I

think the more I try to find a good way the

worse this is getting!! I'm not used to having

back aches.. hips yes.. but the only time I can

remember my back, ribs hurting was after I

had surgery and they had to drain some fluids

from my lung or somewhere.. THAT was fun.

Sticking a needle into my ribs..

I saw on TV now where they have new stitches

for surgeries.. they dissolve.. I know it terrifies

me if I even THOUGHT I had to go back for

surgery and they were going to put more of those

horrible staples.. Well.. I wouldn't let them.. If

you have never had them.. DONT .. ask before you

have surgery how they plan to close you up.. I

think they hurt more being taken out than the

actual surgery itself.. The most I had of them

from one surgery was 56.. and I cried with every

one.. Even the nurse felt bad and she had no

choice but to take them out.. She apologized after

every one.. I told her it wasnt her fault.. But, I
sure hated that she felt she had to.. She couldnt

help hurting me..


They say they were or are better, less chance of

infection.. I disagree.. Every time I had staples,

the wound got infected.. and I mean EVERY time.

I had some of the worst infections after they

were taken out and I truly believe its because of

the way they rip them out.. just like a staple remover

you keep on your desk ! They are NOT a good thing.

I sure hope that's true about these new stitches.. I

saw too that some are using super glue!...ANYTHING

is better than staples.. Whom ever it was thought of

them should have to have 300 of them put in and

removed.. I bet they would THEN wish they hadnt

invented them!!

Anyhoway... I forgot to plug my chair in last night

so I cant roll around too much I only have 2 power

gauge thingies lit up.. I don't like getting too close

to the red.. So I might just go back in the bedroom

and charge up for a while.. then come back out and

find some lunch.. I just want this back ache to go

away,


So.. with all that said.. this GORGEOUS WEEBLE

is posting this early and gonna go get charged up

and hopefully get some back relief...BUT!! 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...

~Coffee Maker~

I have the best little coffeemaker.. Its only a 2

cupper one... from Black & Decker.. I didn't think

I would like a small one like this but I do.. I used

to drink more than 2 cups in the morning though

so I always had a bigger one.. Since I got this small

one I like it better.. It only takes 2 minutes to get

a fresh cuppa coffee.. That's what I like.. I don't

like coffee that's been sitting around for awhile..

I like strong coffee but not strong enough it could

walk if it wanted to :-) But this is a good little one,

its lasted longer than my last one.. but I don't know,

well remember, the kind.. I know I use Maxwell

House coffee.. or Kona, which is Hawaiian... I love

that.. and I kinda like the Luzian which has Chicory..
I had some Cajun coffee with chickory when I was

down at that wedding in Louisiana .. THAT coffee

WAS strong enough to walk.. :-) But it sure was

good.. Very tasty.. That's like that sausage they

have .. boudain I think its called.. Blood sausage..

Although I didn't know it was made from that at

the time. I maybe wouldn't have tasted it.. but

I'm glad I did cuz it was really good.. I cant and

really don't like spicey foods.. HOT stuff ...

I like some Mexican stuff that's mild.. but those

hot peppers? Noooo.. One of the guys that worked

for us was Puerto Rican, Julio. now HE could eat

some REALLY hot stuff.. only one time did I see

him almost explode from eating a super hot pepper..

We had done a tree job.. he spotted the garden

and the small peppers growing.. He took one... wiped

it off and took a bite.. saying he knew they were

hot..but he ate it anyway.. Well.. I saw that man

turn 4 shades of red.. spit for the next 3 hours

and I bet he drank 6 gallons of water... His eyes

almost crossed and I got really worried.. :-)

The pepper was a kind that was used for making

spices .. MIXED.. not pure.. He almost blew a fuse..

Taught him not to raid gardens though! He did

survive.. I'm glad, he was my best tree climber !
He didn't do any climbing the rest of that day!


Penny got us all clean, which we werent too messy.

Today we made half a Cornish hen on some corn

bread stuffing.. Put the stuffing down first..

then laid the hen on top and its now in the oven..I

may ask Penny to make some scalloped potatoes..
Doesn't that sound good? I'm hungry too.. :-)

SO.. you know what that means.. Time for this

GORGEOUS WEEBLE to post this and to go and

have my lunch... BUT.. I shall return!! :-)
