EARLY VOTING 2008

YEP, WE HERE IN FLORIDA ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET EARLY VOTING. THE LINES HAVE BEEN FROM 2 TO 3 HOURS LONG. WHAT A JOKE. YESTERDAY AFTER VOTING WAS STARTED LAST WEEK OUR ESTEEMED GOV. ORDERD THE HOURS TO BE LONGER. WHAT THE HELL TOOK HIM SO LONG? I AM WORKING AT THE POLL HERE IN MY COMPLEX ON ELECTION DAY. HOPEFULLY EVERYBODY WILL HAVE VOTED BY THEN. I VOTED THIS PAST MONDAY. THE EVER THOUGHTFUL DEMS SENT IN A BUS TO TAKE US TO VOTE. THOSE WHO WERE REGISTERED DEMS GOT THE MAIL. THE GOP'S SNUCK IN. THE BUS WAS LOADED WITH BAGELS, CREAM CHEESE, ORANGE JUICE AND WATER. THAT IS CALLED BUYING A VOTE. SO HAPPENS THAT THE LIBRARY THEY TOOK US TO WENT OUT OF THEIR WAY TO MAKE IT VERY COMFORTABLE AND FAST FOR US. WE WERE USHERED IN AND SAT THE WHOLE TIME. THEY TOOK 4 OF US IN AT A TIME WITHIN 10 MINUTES OF GETTING THERE. THE PEOPLE ON THE 2 HOUR LINE WERE REALLY NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT. BEING A SENIOR WITH A CANE SURE DOES COME IN HANDY SOMETIMES. I USED AMY OLD CANE THAT THANK G-D I DONT USE ANYMORE AND WANTED TO RENT MY OTHER ONE OUT, BUT EVERYBODY WAS SMART ENOUGH TO LIMP OR BROUGHT A WALKER. LOL..ANY HOW WE VOTED. I TOOK LOTS OF PHOTOS OF THE PLACE AND OF THE STATE REPS THAT CAME TO URGE US ON TOWARDS MR. OBAMA. NO COMMENT ON THIS..LOL. I CANNOT LOAD THEM ONTO MY PUTER CAUSE SOMETHING IS WRONG. I WENT UP TO LAKE WORTH TODAY TO SEE ME FRIEND WHO IS MY FIXER. I FORGOT THE DAMN POWER CORD. I CALLED A FRIEND WHO LIVES NOT TO FAR FROM THERE TO BRING HERS. SHE BROUGHT THE WRONG THING. NOT A GOOD DAY. IT IS A GOOD 45 MINUTE TRIP ON FLORIDA'S TURNPIKE. LUCKY THERE WERE NO ACCIDENTS..I AM EXHAUSTED. I STILL HAVE TO GO BACK AND HAVE IT DONE..DID U EVER WANT TO KILL YOUR SELF??TODAY WAS THAT DAY. I EVEN HAD TO MAKE LUNCH FOR EVERYBODY. YIKES. TUNA FISH SANDWICHES ALL AROUND..SO STAY WITH ME FOR A WHILE, U JUST GOTTA SEE THESE PICTURES.. SO SEE YA

SEARCHING AROUND

THIS IS MY LOVABLE PUMPKIN..

I HAVE BEEN FOOLING AROUND WITH THIS NEW GOOGLE BLOG. ON THE VERY TOP OF YOUR BLOG PAGE IS A LITTLE BOX THAT SAYS "NEXT BLOG" HIT IT. I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF FRENCH BLOGS. CANT READ THEM BUT THEY ALL HAVE SOME GREAT PHOTOS. THEY ARE NOT IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER. I SAW SOME FROM PLACES I GET UNDERSTAND. LANGUAGE BARRIER! THERE IS ONE THAT IS WRITTEN BY A DOG. IT WAS REALLY FUNNY. HE EVEN HAS DOG FOLLOWERS, JUST LIKE WE HAVE. PICTURES AND ALL. WHEN U HAVE A COUPLE OF SPARE MOMENTS CHECK IT OUT. IT IS FUN..

ISN'T THAT A GREAT PIX OF PUMPKIN. SHE WAS JUST LYING THERE IN THE SUN AND I SHOT IT. SHE USUALLY STARES AT THE CAMERA, AND BLINKS WHEN THE FLASH GOES OFF. NOT THIS TIME..I THINK SHE SAID, LEAVE ME ALONE. SO THATS IT.

SEE YA

just wait until x-mas to see these beautiful christmas catcus plants to bloom. this year they are more fuller and healthier than ever. i have combined several plants into these four. i cant wait.

i keep on trying to add photos, because i had a hellava time on aol.journals. now i have to start taking pictures again. so now i will see ya

HELLO

HELLO AGAIN EVERYBODY, SEEMS TO ME THAT NOT ALL MY FAVORITE PEOPLE TO READ ARE NOT HERE. IF THEY ARE, THEY ARE NOT VISITING ME ANY LONGER. I UNDERSTAND THIS. I THINK THAT THE AOL JOURNAL WAS JUST AN INTIMATE WAY OF REACHING OUT TO EACH OTHER. THIS BLOG, IS JUST THAT, A BLOG FOR THE WHOLE WORLD TO SEE. I DONT KNOW IF I WILL CONTINUE WITH IT.
THE PICTURE I POSTED IS OF ONE OF MY NEW BABIES {AFRICAN VIOLETS}, AND LO AND BEHOLD THE BABIES JUST HAD BABIES, THAT MAKES ME A GREAT GRANDMA. I AM AMAZED AT THIS. IN THE PAST IT TOOK MONTHS FOR THE BABIES TO SHOW UP. SOMETIMES THE MOMMY DIED AND I HAD TO PLANT ANOTHER MOM. IT IS A HIT AND MISS OPERATION. IF I START WITH 5 MOMS I AM LUCKY TO GET TWO TO THRIVE. BUT THIS, WOW. I THINK I WAS FEEDING THE MOM WITH THE FERTILIZER ON A STEADY BASIS. I USUALLY DO NOT DO THIS. I THOUGHT THAT OVER CARING FOR THEM WAS NOT THE CORRECT WAY TO GO, BUT LOOK, IT GAVE ME BABIES TOO SOON. I ONLY HOPE THAT THEY CONTINUE TO THRIVE. I STILL HAVE 3 OTHERS IN OTHER POTS WAITING FOR THEIR OFF SPRINGS. SO FAR NOTHING. THEY WERE ALL STARTED AT THE SAME TIME..SUCH IS NATURE.
TODAY I AM GOING TO ANOTHER FUNERAL. I LIVE IN A COMMUNITY THAT IS OVER 55YRS. NOBODY GETS PREGNANT HERE (THANKFULLY), BUT DIEING IS A STEADY OCCURRENCE. TODAY'S IS FOR A GAL WHO LIVED IN MY BUILDING AND HAS BEEN SICK FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS. SHE MADE THE DECISION TO NOT TAKE CHEMO OR ANY OTHER MEDICATION. SHE HAD BEEN OPENED FOR UTERINE CANCER. IT COULD NOT BEEN REMOVED. HER HUSBAND WAS VERY MUCH AGAINST HER DECISION, BUT SHE WAS FORCE FULL ENOUGH TO STAND HER GROUNDS. IN MY OPINION SHE DID THE RIGHT THING. SHE WAS 86 AND DID NOT WANT TO GO THROUGH ALL THE THINGS THE DOCTORS TRY TO MAKE YOU DO..SHE WOULD HAVE HAD MONTHS OF TORTURE. SO TODAY WE SAY GOODBYE. REST IN PEACE ELEANOR.

CHECK IT OUT- MUSIC

CHECK IT OUT..MUSIC.
YESTERDAY WAS YOM KIPPUR. IT IS A FASTING DAY. I HAVE NOT FASTED SINCE I MOVED TO FLORIDA, 20YEARS AGO. I HAD AN OPERATION THAT REQUIRES ME TO DRINK A LOT. (NO, NOT WHAT U THINK), AND I AM A DIABETIC. SO I JUST EAT SOME STUFF. I WAS INVITED TO A NEIGHBOR TO BREAK THE FAST. WE WERE FOUR WOMEN, NONE OF WHOM FASTED..LOL. AT LEAST I HAVE A GREAT EXCUSE. ANY HOW SHE HAD ALL KINDS OF FISH, THAT I DO NOT EVER EAT. FROM LOX TO HERRING TO WHITE FISH. YUCK. SHE GOT ME CHICKEN SALAD. THAT WAS JUST FINE. IT IS A DAY THAT WE REMEMBER OUR DEPARTED, AND PROMISE TO BE GOOD FOR THE NEXT YEAR. I SURMISE WE ALL TRY.SO ABOUT THE MUSIC..SEE IT ON THE RIGHT SIDE. PLAY WHAT U WANT WHENEVER U COME TO VIST. AND COME OFTEN....SEE YA

WAS NOT A GOOD NIGHT

AT 4AM I WAS SUDDENLY AWAKE. I DID NOT KNOW WHY. AS I LIE THERE WONDERING I FEEL FUNNY. WHAT THE HECK IS THIS? SO I STAY THERE A LITTLE LONGER AND I START TO UNDERSTAND. MY SUGAR MUST BE AWFUL LOW TO WAKE ME. I REALLY DONT WANT TO GET UP BECAUSE I AM AFRAID TO WALK IN THIS CONDITION. I WAIT MAYBE 5 MINUTES. I RISE SLOWLY AND NOW I KNOW, IT IS MY SUGAR. I GO VERY SLOWLY TO THE KITCHEN TO TAKE MY COUNT. IT WAS 69. THAT IS LOW FOR ME. VERY LOW. I TAKE A JAR OF PEANUT BUTTER AND A COOL DRINK BACK TO THE BEDROOM. I PLOP INTO MY LOUNGER. I STICK A SUGAR PILL (MADE FOR DIABETICS) AND SUCK AWAY. THEN I START TO TAKE SOME PEANUT BUTTER. THERE IS A 15 MINUTE RULE. THAT MEANS AFTER TAKING SOME STUFF, YOU MUST CHECK IT AGAIN. I WAIT ABOUT 35MINUTES. I WAS TOO WEAK TO DO ANYTHING. I DID TAKE MY BLOOD METER AND FINGER STABBER WITH ME. IT WAS NOW 81. I SAT THERE UNTIL 5:30AM. WHEN I WOKE AT 9:30 OR SO I WAS VERY WEAK. I HAD MY BREAKFAST AND JUST LAZED AROUND ALL DAY. I AM FEELING SOMEWHAT BETTER BUT NOT THE BEST..OH WELL THATS LIFE. SEE YA

BEING HEALTHY

TODAY I WENT FOR MY YEARLY MAMMOGRAM. TURNS OUT IT WAS NOT MY YEARLY, IT WAS MY TWO YEAR YEARLY! GUESS I FORGOT IT LAST YEAR. OH WELL.
IT WAS A BUSY DAY, BEFORE THE MAMMO, I WENT TO THE BANK. MY BANK IS NOW IN A STRIP MALL BECAUSE AFTER HURRICANE WILMA THE ROOF STARTED TO CAVE IN. SEEMS THEY COULD NOT FIND THE CONTRACTOR WHO BUILT THE BUILDING ABOUT A YEAR BEFORE WILMA. (SEE, EVEN BANKS SCREW UP). SO NOW IN THE MALL THEY HAVE NO DRIVE THROUGH, NO SAFE DEPOSIT BOXES ETC. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I WENT THERE AND I AM THE ONLY PERSON ON LINE. THE PEOPLE WHO TAKE CARE OF CUSTOMERS WERE WAITING 2 DEEP. AM I MISSING SOMETHING? ARE THEY TAKING MONEY OUT? IF THEY ARE OPENING ACCOUNTS, WHERE ARE THEY GETTING THE MONEY FROM? WHO HAS MONEY????
AFTER THAT ON TO THE LIBRARY TO PICK UP TWO BOOKS I RESERVED. I AM CURRENTLY READING "THE STORIES OF EDGAR SAWTELLE". IT IS A MARVELOUS STORY. IF U CAN READ IT..
AFTER THAT ON TO THE MAMMO.A WOMEN ASKED ME ABOUT THE BOOK. SHE SAID OPRAH TALKED ABOUT IT A WHILE AGO. I DONT WATCH OPRAH. BUT THE BOOK WAS HIGHLY TOUTED BY CRITICS.
THEN TO PUBLIX. JUST A FEW THINGS...$40.00 FOR LESS THAN 10 ITEMS. LOL.
SO CAME HOME, HAD A BITE, READ BOOK AND WOKE UP AT ALMOST 6 PM..MEANS NO SLEEP TONIGHT. LOL....
SEE YA

IN MEMORIAM

TODAY, OCTOBER 5, 2008.
IT WAS A DRIZZING MORNING. I WENT TO A FUNERAL OF A FRIEND. HIS NAME WAS DEREK. HE WAS 25 YEARS YOUNG.
HE WAS ASLEEP IN HIS BED SOMETIME AFTER 2AM WHEN A MAN WHO ALSO LIVES THERE DROVE INTO THE GARAGE AND SHUT THE DOOR AND DID NOT SHUT THE ENGINE. THREE PEOPLE DIED FROM CARBON MONOXIDE.
THIS WAS LAST SUNDAY. WE USUALLY BURY OUR DEAD WITHIN 2-3 DAYS. BECAUSE THIS WAS ROSH HASHONNA IT WAS DONE TODAY.
THE OUTER ROOM WAS OVERPACKED WITH PEOPLE, SIGNING THE GUEST BOOK, AND JUST STANDING AROUND TALKING. HE WAS A STUDENT AT FAU. {FLORIDA ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY}. THERE WERE LOADS OF BOYS THERE. FINALLY THE MAIN CHAPEL WAS OPENED AND THERE WERE MORE PEOPLE THAN SEATS. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE. MOST OFTEN WHEN AN ELDERLY PERSON DIES THERE IS JUST A FEW PEOPLE LEFT TO SAY GOODBYE. EVERY BODY WAS INVITED BACK TO THEIR HOME. THERE WAS MASSES OF FOOD. THESE KIDS EAT LIKE VULTURES!, AND ENOUGH TO FILL US ALL UP. DRINKS, WATER, SODA, COFFEE WAS FLOWING FREELY. I HAVE BEEN TO MANY A SHIVA CALL, AND CAN NOT REMEMBER ANYTHING LIKE THIS. USUALLY WHEN A PERSON DIES THEY ARE ELDERLY (HOPEFULLY) AND NOT MANY PEOPLE LEFT TO SAY GOOD-BYE. BUT HERE THEY ALL WERE. STUDENTS, TEACHERS,FRIEND OF ALL THE KIDS. HIS SISTER, HIS BROTHER AND PARENTS. IT IS A TERRIBLE THING TO SEE A YOUNG PERSON GO. HIS SISTER IS 22, HIS BROTHER IS 20. THERE WAS NOT A DRY EYE IN THE CHAPEL. SOME WERE AUDIBLY LOUD. HE WILL BE MISSED FOREVER. GOOD BYE DEREK, REST IN PEACE....SEE YA
