Yes I know I just wrote today, but I had to come in here and correct something I said about the Olympic folk receiving money for speaking.
I did not know these folks aren't professionals that get paid to do what they d…
Referral in previous post of the book "Heavens to Betsy" the author is Charles Earle Funk. Forgetting our Candid Camera Funk I was remiss in not using the proper name for the book.
Today I found something I did and sai…
I put the map in motion and it looks like that rain is going to go right around our area of the city. We need the rain, my body feels like it is going too, but I bet it blows right on over us.
I could not figure o…
I could not abide the washed out background that I had introduced with the previous header. My xanga may not be as fanciful as some but I do have some pride. I even tried something new in PSP for the header, simple is a…
I think my eyes are slowly coming back to normal. Or else the computer glasses help. The opthamologist was pleased today that the diabetes shows no evidence in my eyes. Down the road the yellowing that indicates cataract…
If you want to avoid thinking and pondering and making decisions don't go over to my side bar and hit James link. I don't feel like looking inside myself any more. I'll end up depressed.
I'm dragging today but I thoug…
I was having trouble reading the text on the background too Ava. I was just highlighting it as I didn't have the gumption to come in and change it. Now I hate the header with it. That's OK a new month is coming and I ca…
I think I am paying for Thursday's cleaning at church. Then again maybe it was a move in the pool, or else my back felt last night's storm coming in two days early. Something has caused this little set back that's for s…
Found this years ago and want to share. I can't credit the author as the page is no more and a search for the name brings up no new one. I'm not sure I copied all of it either. It's called "The Invitation". Someone name…
All together now.... "ahhh". I'd sure like to know how people get these shots.
I have been less than pleased with the fat free margarine we had been using, so hub got a couple other kinds. "I can't believe it's no…
MiddleAged Guy (link on side bar) did a list of kinder supplies needed in Dallas. So I thought I'd pull a couple from San Antonio schools for comparison. (We aren't as ritzy as Dallas).
Cable Elem. near me (a poor area)…
Is it possible to learn perseverance from a cat? I think I am. This little bugger has now mastered jumping up on the bed. I spent my second night with both cats there. At 3 a.m. when he started meowing I thought he …
God Bless,An elderly woman had just returned to her home from an evening of Church services when she was startled by an intruder. She caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables and yelled," Stop! Ac…
Just back from the vet's a bit ago. No sounds in his heartbeat that were detected before. I can stop the baby aspirin. In fact I can stop the eye drops and the mixture of antibiotic and steriod. I'm sure Char is going t…
Let me make a note here about my cats. Since they do not keep constant care about not shedding hairs there is no way they will ever lay on my monitor, scanner, printer or tower for that matter. That is what makes Charlie…
I'm telling him he can't be up here in my lap. Never has been allowed near my computer. (cat hairs ya know).
Really listens doesn't he?
I had to go put him in hub's lap as he was killing my legs!
This morning is in the 60's! I wonder how much tropical storm Bonnie and hurricaine Charley are effecting our hot summer?
I turned off the air conditioner and opened windows, I love fresh air dust and all. Charlie wande…
Zoomed in on this last night. What makes it so unusual is, it is a sunset and in the East, well South East.
Charlie let me hold him this afternoon. That is progress too. This morning it was cool enough to open t…
What a day! I knew I wasn't going to understand what to do when the firewall alerts! And when the help window opened it went BEHIND the one I was in, the one I couldn't mimimize until I made a decision!
Part of the p…
I am absolutely furious this morning! Due to connection problems and lack of service I cancelled our ISP at Texas.net. When I signed up in 2001 it was over the phone. No contracts signed of course and no policy informa…
Guess who found his way under our bed and had to be pulled out with a bunch of dust so the vet could see him?
He was pleased with his progress, though his little gait is still abnormal with his crossing his front paws…
Happy Dance Time!! About 20 minutes ago Charlie got restless on the couch. He didn't want the litter, he didn't want to eat, he didn't want held.
He wanted down! He is walking! He is running into things though, he is b…
Charlie is holding his head up this morning. It trembles when he does. When I was holding him in the recliner I could feel nerve pulses throughout his body. I hope that means the nerves are trying to refire!
He lapped …
Meet mischeivous Charlie. Couple days before tooth extraction. Doc is an expert in cats. Well OK he has had extra schooling in cat stuff. In his 30 years of practice he has never had one do what Charlie has. He to…
I'm sitting here scared out of my mind and crying. The vet just called and Charlie cat just doesn't want to wake up. All the monitors show no problem but they have had to give him a stimulant to see if he will respond. …
Subject: Who says cops don't have a sense of humor? The following were taken off of actual police car videos around the country. "Relax, the handcuffs are tight because they're new.They'll stretch out after you wear the…
It's here! After my afternoon nap I went out to check the mail. Plain white box, one piece of newspaper for padding, 1 little bag and inside it a plastic bag with the ring.
I moved some other rings out of a ring …
I'll bet not a soul has any idea how hard I have worked to try and get the link colors and sidebar fill so I can read it! If I darken the text then I can't see it over on the backgrounds dark color.
Plus I'm a ninny wh…
Meet Mr. Shopmouse. Had this bunch of collectables since the 1980's. Getting a digital of them is so doggone hard it seems. He stands 2" high and gets dusted with a toothbrush. (not too often). There are 15 of these …
I got it! Now I sit and worry that it will be so tiny though description didn't say so. I only think of that after feeding Tahitian Black Pearl in to search engine and see how much they cost.
Hub said his oyster cost hi…
