Amputee life before and after...

~Too Much TV~

Lots of Black Birds today... and the other black and white kittie!
She was hungry too... :-)

Ive been watching more TV than I think I
ever have... And I honestly am in awe at what
the news is.. The kids... my word.. even close
by here! A boy walked up to his grandfather
with a gun.. killed him.. those 2 young girls from
Pennsylvania.. 16 I think.. they had a death pact
and killed them selves by falling in front of a
train. At 15 and 16 these young women saw no
future? How sad.. It happened here too .. a
small little town... a boy laid on the tracks..
kids killing other kids and their siblings, parents..
Its ALL because of how bad it is.. no work.. and
this government is more worried about health
issues.. Worry more about JOBS..

Why I thought of this.?. I live across the street
from the high school here.. The police are always
going by.. I got up early this morning, about 6:45..
By 7:30 the kids are walking by to go to school...
I saw a young girl.. about 16.. she had on those
beach shoes..tongs... a short skirt,, her hair didn't
even look combed.. She walked with her head down
and very fast.. Its cold out there this morning and
RAINING! Windy too.. But how and why would her
mother let her out the door like that? I wouldn't!
I don't know this girl.. but I would buy her a pair
of shoes if she needs them.. She had on a short
thin looking jacket .. I felt so bad for her.. that no
one cared she went to school like that.. Then we
wonder what is happening to these kids. SAD...

Gloomy day and gloomy subject.. I sure can tell its
raining, bad thing is .. its sposta rain for the next
5 days! I live 1 block away from that river over
there that feeds Palmer Lake.. I sometimes worry
about flooding.. Never has happened tho, Ive asked
Joe.. Other bad thing about this rain is the fact
its melting the snow..and my front yard... well.. I
looked this morning and its disgusting.. I wont put
another crappy photo here of it.. :-)


Another way I KNOW its raining is the reason I got
up early.. My stumps feel like they are twice their
size today.. They FEEL swollen.. they arent.. but
they are cold...They feel tight.. but not to the touch..
My scar on the left one has decided its been pretty
good and its time to act up.. It gets like another
scar over it. I put lotion on it every time I go
to the bathroom.. I keep the lotion on the back of
the toilet since its easier to put it on sitting there..
I HAVE learned though to make SURE I rub it into
my hands or wipe them off BEFORE I grab the
side bars on my chair to pull my self back in it.. I
HAVE learned that !! :-)

Today we are making yellow rice.. I LOVE that.. Its
been ages since Ive had it.. Penny took a piece of
sausage out of the freezer and we will put it in with
the rice while it cooks.. There are 2 really good kinds,
well brands.. VIGO is one and of course Zatarans..
which is excellent.. Yellow rice is very good with both
chicken AND pork.. The rice is yellow because of the
saffron in it...I think.. I dunno .. all I know its good
and I am SO ready for it.. Its cooking now so by the
time I post this it will be time to EAT! :-)

SO.. this GORGEOUS WEEBLE is gonna post this and
head back to the kitchen.!. Hope y'all have a nice
lunch and a great day!! :-) Remember.. I shall return!
I KNOW you're glad.. :-)


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...

    Fried green tomatoes: I am mailing you a packet of green tomato seeds. You should start them soon for end of may planting. In th UK two boys 8 and 10 killed a three y.o. years ago. One of the lads, violated terms of his release. The tomatoes are more important.

    I wanted to write a play just to see how it would go to develop a character, see how it would be to gradually reveal a character's character. I modeled the main one affter my cousin's boy. He took his life. 24 yo. I stewed and fretted and fumed over it all ... and finally gave up. Decided they's some things we don't and can't and never will understand.

    Never mind ... you are wonderful.
