HOLY COW, WE GOT GLOBAL WARMING

2010-01-04T12:36:00.002-05:00

I LIVE HERE IN FLORIDA, SOUTH FLORIDA, JUST A FEW MILES NORTH OF THE KEYS.
FOR THE PAST TWO WEEKS WE HAVE HAD SOME REALLY COOL WEATHER.
YESTERDAY WHEN I WOKE UP IT WAS ABOUT 50*. IT WAS COOL ALL DAY. I EVEN HAVE BEEN USING THE HEAT IN THE EVENING JUST TO WARM THE PLACE UP.
TODAY UPON WAKING UP THE TEMPERATURE WAS 43*. NOW I HAVE THE HEAT RUNNING ALL DAY. I SHOULD BE RUNNING THE AIR CONDITIONER.
THE HIGH YESTERDAY WAS MAYBE 68*, TODAY IF WE GET LUCKY IT WILL HIT 70*
I CANNOT EVEN GO OUT CAUSE I HAVE NOT GOT ENOUGH WARM THINGS TO WEAR...BUT FRIEND, WE ARE HAPPY ABOUT SOME STUFF. LIKE ALL THE GUEST AND THE KIDS THAT ARE HERE FOR THE HOLIDAYS...CANT GO IN THE POOL. CANT PLAY OUT IN THE PARKING LOT WITH BALLS AND FOOTBALLS. EVERYBODY IS STUCK IN THE APARTMENTS...AND ANOTHER THING, THEY CANT PUT THE KIDS IN DIAPERS IN THE POOL. THATS A GOOD THING CAUSE EVERY YEAR SOME KIDS POO FALLS INTO THE POOL...THEN THE INSPECTORS COME AND CLOSE THE POOL AND THEN IT TAKES A WEEK TO REFILL IT...
I THANK MYSELF EVERY DAY FOR GOING TO THE LIBRARY TO GET A GOOD BOOK TO READ (BREATHLESS, BY DEAN KOONTZ).
TOMORROW I HAVE TO GO FOR THERAPY ON MY KNEE AGAIN. IN THE AFTERNOON I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY DOCTOR. I WILL HAVE TO PUT ON MY SKIVIES (IS THAT RIGHT??) SO YOU FLOLKS IN THE COLD NORTH AND COLD MID WEST AND THE COLD SOUTH REMEMBER THE FAMOUS WORDS OF OUR FORMER VICE PRESIDENT.."WE HAVE GLOBAL WARMING" THINK GREEN EVERYBODY SEE YA

I HAD A THERAPY APPOINTMENT THIS AM AT 10. IT WAS POURING. I PUSHED MY NEW WALKER THROUGH LITTLE LAKES TO THE OFFICE. WHEN I LEFT AN HOUR LATER, IT WAS POURING HARDER. THE OFFICE CLERK WALKED ME OUT SO I COULD GET THE DAMN WALKER IN THE CAR..I HAD TO GO TO THE BROWARD MALL, A 15 MINUTE TRIP..LOL. IT TOOK ME CLOSE TO 40 MINUTES. THE TRAFFIC WAS AWFUL. BUMPER TO BUMPER, EVERYBODY GOING VERY SLOW.(NOT A USUAL THING HERE). I CIRCLED NEAR THE ENTRANCE I WANTED FOR A HANDICAP SPOT..NONE. PEOPLE WERE HUDDLED IN THE LOBBY WAITING FOR A BREAK TO RUN OUT TO THEIR CAR. SO I PARKED AND WAITED ALSO. A HALF HOUR OR SO LATER I LITTLE LET UP..I DROVE AGAIN TO THE HANDICAP LANE. AH..A SPOT..#2OFF THE CORNER. REALLY CLOSE. I GOT IT.

SOAKED I WAS..NOW, I HAVE BEEN HERE MANY TIMES, I KNOW A WAY OUT. I HEADED THAT WAY. THE CARS COMING IN THAT ENTRANCE HAD THERE GRILLS COVERED ALMOST UP TO THEIR HOODS. OH NO, NOT ME..I MAKE A TURN, CARS ARE DRIVING WILDLY THOROUGH THE LOT. ME TOO.. IT WAS SOOOOOO DEEP.....I DID AVOID IT. WE HAD BIRDS BATHING IN THE PUDDLES!!!!, I FOUND A WAY OUT, GOING THE WRONG WAY FROM MY HOME..WAS ABLE TO U-TURN LATER.

I AM USING A WALKER SO I HAVE A GOOD EXCUSE..SEEMS OUR "CAPTAIN" OF THE BUILDING HAD PUT UP HER USUAL DISPLAY OF X-MAS DECOR AND HANUKKA STUFF...SHE DOES THIS FOR EVERY HOLIDAY..AT THE LAST BOARD MEETING IT WAS VOTED THAT NO SUCH DISPLAYS WILL BE ALLOWED. (BECAUSE OF HER). SO SHE WAS HOLDING COURT OUT FRONT, HER GRANDSONS WERE SERVING SODA, BEACH CHAIRS WERE ALL AROUND THE PARKING LOT (ALSO A NO-NO) AND HER OTHER GRANDSON WAS RIDING HER CAR AROUND.(HE HAS NO LICENSE). I HID...SOMEBODY TOLD ME LATER THAT THE POLICE CAME AND MADE HER TAKE THE STUFF DOWN AGAIN...LOL..LOL...SHE SAYS SHE WILL NOW PUT IN A FLAG POLE FOR THE AMERICAN FLAG (ALLOWED) AND SPOT LIGHTS TO SHINE ON IT (NOT ALLOWED)...I AM STARTING TO LIKE THIS PLACE.

THAT FALL WAS #2 FOR THE MONTH..A WEEK LATER MY DAUGHTER CAME FOR A VISIT AND GAVE ME A SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY. WHAT MORE CAN I SAY. SHE IS THE GREATEST. NOT BECAUSE OF THE PARTY, SHE JUST IS..LAST WEEKEND MY #1 SON AND MY D.I.L. CAME. WE AGAIN PARTIED..WENT TO DINNER WITH MY BROTHER AND S.I.L. WE DO IT EVERY YEAR..THATS WHEN I GET MY BEST MEAL OF THE YEAR..IN THE OUTBACK..UMMMMMM

IF I LIVE ANOTHER 5 I WILL STAY IN BED....SO THATS IT..SEE YA

POST THANKSGIVING

2009-11-28T13:46:00.002-05:00

SO TODAY IS SATURDAY (I THINK) 2DAYS PAST THE TURKEY DAY. ITS A GOOD THING THAT MR. O, OUR PRESIDENT, (JERK) SAVED ONE BIRD FROM BEING SOME POOR SOLES MEAL OF THE YEAR. ANYHOW LETS GET REAL.
MY BROTHER USUALLY PICKS ME UP AND THEN TAKES ME BACK HOME. I TOLD HIM THAT THIS YEAR I WILL DRIVE IT BOTH WAYS. THING IS I REALLY DONT DRIVE AT NIGHT ANYMORE CAUSE I HAVE NOWHERE TO GO. SO GOING UP TO BOCA IS A 35/40 MINUTE DRIVE ON A GREAT ROAD WHERE IF U ARE GOING 70 CARS ARE PUSHING U OFF THE ROAD. I AM A 80MPH DRIVER. THIS TIME WITH MY RIGHT KNEE HURTING SO MUCH I DECIEDED TO DRIVE NOT MORE THAT 65 (POSTED LIMIT) GOT THERE IN 35 MINUTES. COMING HOME IN THE DARK THE ROADS WERE A LITTLE BIT MORE CROWDED. SO I WAS DOING 80..NO, I WAS NOT WASTED. THEY ONLY ALLOWED ME ONE DRINK WHEN I GOT THERE. TRYING SOME NEW FOR A VODKA GIRL, CAPT. MORGAN'S RUM. YUMMY. ON THE ROCKS....SO ANYHOW I GOT HOME IN 40 MINUTES. NOT BAD. I DID NOT WANT TO MISS "PUNKIN CHUNKIN" ON THE SCIENCE CHANNEL.
MY S.I.L. AGAIN OUTDID HERSELF..BIG OLE TURKEY, HAM AND 7 SIDES..STAY TUNED FOR THE LIST..LOL. MASHED TATERS, SWEET YAMS WITH A HONEY DIPPED WALNUT TOPPING, DO DIE FOR, NOODLE PUDDIN, BROCCOLI SOMETHING, CRANBERRY MOLD, A VEGGIE STUFFING AND ONE I FORGOT. EVERYTHING WAS GREAT. I DID NOT GET LEFT OVERS AS HER DAUGHTER/HUSBAND AND 2 LITTLE ONES WERE STAYING OVER FOR A FEW MORE DAYS.
SO, LETS TALK ABOUT THIS KNEE PROBLEM..ITS SWOLLEN, MY DOCTOR WAS AWAY LAST WEEK AS I SAW THE PA. I WILL GET TO HIM TO GET SOME SHOTS IN THE LEG. NO, NOT SHOTS LIKE BOOZE, BUT SHOTS LIKE NEEDLES!!!! MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE A COUPLE OF SHOTS BEFORE I GET THERE...BAD GIRL ROBERTA...IT HAS BEEN A GREAT SEASON, NOT A HURRICANE IN SIGHT. IN FACT IT WAS THE DRIEST WET SEASON EVER. FROM LAST NIGHT INTO TODAY THE WEATHER HAS BEEN COLD. (TELL THAT TO MR. GORE), THIS AM IT WAS 52, REALLY CHILLY FOR NOVEMBER. SET A LOW RECORD..SO I HOPE Y'ALL HAD A GREAT THANKSGIVING AND WILL HAVE A BETTER CHRISTMAS..THEY REPORTED THAT BLACK FRIDAY WAS GOOD FOR THE BARGAIN HUNTERS..HOPE SO. AND NOW FOR THE FINALE, SEE YA

IMMMMMMMMM BACK....

2009-11-15T17:02:00.002-05:00

YEP, IM BACK. I AM SURE U ALL MISSED MY WONDERFUL STORIES AND MY SAD, SAD LIFE..
SINCE MY LAST POST, I HAVE SEND MY PUTER BACK TO HP FOR REPAIRS TWICE. I MADE IT CLEAR TO THEM THAT I HAVE A LEMON HERE. IF THEY WERE A GOOD AND HONEST COMPANY THEY WOULD HAVE SENT ME AN UPDATED NEW ONE..ROFLMAO
ANY HOW, DURING THAT PERIOD, I FELL TWICE. THE FIRST TIME WHEN I BROUGHT THE PUTER BACK TO FED EX. WACKED MY ELBOW AND KNEE PRETTY GOOD. SPRAINED MY ANKLE. NOW HEALED. THE SECOND TIME WAS LAST WEEK WHEN MY MIDDLE SON CAME FOR A VISIT WITH MY YOUNGEST GRANDIE. HE IS JUST 7. GREAT KID. WANTED GRANDMA TO PLAY SHUFFLE BOARD WITH HIM..OK..MISSED A STEP AND DOWN I WENT AGAIN..SAME KNEE, SAME ELBOW AND A FEW BRUISED RIBS..OUCH. THEY STILL HURT. MY DAUGHTER CAME TWO DAYS AFTER THE GUYS WENT HOME. NOW YOU HAVE TO KNOW US. WE FIGHT ALL THE TIME..ITS OUR LOVE POTION..MY BIRTHDAY IS IN TWO WEEKS. YEAH, A BIG ONE. BUT AT THIS STAGE THEY ARE ALL BIG...SHE THREW ME A SURPRISE PARTY AT A GREAT PLACE IN BOCA RATON. SHE INVITED MY OLD FRIENDS, WELL NOT OLD, BUT LONG TIMERS..NY BROTHER AND S.I.L. AND HER FRIEND. NINE OF US. SHE TOLD ME SHE WAS MEETING WITH HER FRIEND AND I SHOULD GO TO. I DID NOT WANT TO GO.. WE GOT THERE LATE CAUSE I TOOK MY TIME AND WAS REBELLING. WHAT A WONDERFUL SURPRISE. I CAN USUALLY FIGURE THESE THINGS OUT, BUT LIKE I SAID, GETTING OLD AND STUPID...DUH..IT WAS THE BEST THING THAT HAPPENED TO ME SINCE LAST YEAR. MY OLDEST SON AND MY D.I.L. WILL BE HERE RIGHT AFTER MY B-D. ANOTHER SURPRISE IN STORE FOR ME??????NO, I DONT THINK SO..
SO NOW I HAVE TO PLAY WITH THIS COMPUTER AND SEE WHAT IF ANYTHING I LOST. AND ANOTHER THING..I STARTED ON FACEBOOK. I HAD 61 E-MAILS. I DONT EVEN KNOW 61 PEOPLE. WHY DO THEY HAVE TO GO TO MY IN-BOX. HEY FACE BOOK. SEND THEM DIRECTLY THERE..OK. IM BITCHIN..SO I HOPE I FIND ALL MY FRIENDS ON THIS BLOG AGAIN. MISSED Y'ALL.
SEE YA

so, dont look for me, as i dont know how long this will take..

see ya

DUH

2009-10-05T18:19:00.002-04:00

DUH, I JUST DONT KNOW WHAT TO BLOG ABOUT ANYMORE. AFTER TALKING WITH MY D.I.L. SHE SAID THEIR IS NOTHING FOR HER TO LOOK FORWARD TO. SHE LIKED TO READ ABOUT THE FAMILY. NOT THAT SHE IS A "YENTA" OR ANYTHING LIKE IT, BUT WE WERE ABLE TO HAVE LONG PHONE CONVERSATIONS..IF I HAD AN INTERESTING TIDBIT I WOULD TELL HER AND WE PICKED IT APART FOR A LEAST AN HOUR.
SO, I HAVE NOTHING TO GAB ABOUT. SHE AND MY SON WENT TO THE BIG CITY LAST SATURDAY AND SAW THE SHOW "JERSEY BOYS". THE INTERESTING FACT ABOUT THIS IS THE IDEA OF MY SON GOING INTO NEW YORK CITY. HE IS NOT BIG ON GOING THERE. FUNNY THING, WHEN I LIVED IN BROOKLYN, I VERY RARELY WENT TO THE BIG CITY EITHER..I REMEMBER THE DAYS WHEN THE BUMS, DRUGGIES, AND WHORES WALKED THE STREETS. NOT A GOOD PLACE TO GO. WHEN U WENT BY CAR, THE PARKING LOTS CHARGED OUTRAGEOUS PRICES. BACK IN THE EARLY 60'S I BELONGED TO A CLASS AT NIGHT. MY FRIEND AND I MET THE BUS IN A LOT WITH A LOT OF OTHER MOSTLY WOMEN, AFTER WORK AND WE WENT TO SHOWS, MUSEUMS, INTERESTING PLACES TO EAT, X-MAS TIME WE WENT TO THE BIG TREE AT ROCKERFELLER CENTRE. WE HAVE SUCH GOOD MEMORIES OF THAT. NOW, I SIT HERE IN BEAUTIFUL FLORIDA, ENJOY THE WARMTH, THE RAIN (NOT HURRICANES) AND JUST GO TO LOCAL MALLS. WHEN I FIRST MOVED HERE, 21 YEARS AGO, I AND A FRIEND WENT TO DISNEYLAND EVERY TWO WEEKS. WE STAYED FOR USUALLY 3 DAYS. SHE DROVE, I DROVE. IT IS ABOUT A FOUR HOUR DRIVE. COMING HOME IT WAS 5 HOURS. WE DID NOT WANT TO GET HOME TOO EARLY, AS WE WOULD HAVE TO MAKE DINER FOR OUR HUSBANDS...LOL..WE WOULD STOP AT EVERY TURNPIKE STOP, DO A LITTLE BATHROOM, EAT A LITTLE SNACK, GET A DRINK, AND SLOWLY GO HOME..SUCH FUN..WE DID LOVE IT..THEN SHE MOVED AND NOT MANY OTHER WOMEN LIKED TO DRIVE SO MUCH. SO THAT ENDED. NOW, EVERYBODY LIVING HERE ARE OLDER, SICKER AND WORN OUT..VERY FEW MEN HERE, AND THE ONES THAT ARE STILL ALIVE DONT DO ANYTHING..THIS IS A RETIREMENT COMPLEX, LUCKY FOR ME THAT MY UNIT FACES A LOT OF PRIVATE HOMES WITH STRANGE LITTLE THINGS, I THINK THEY CALL THE KIDS....LOL..MY OTHER PASS TIME..MAKE NICE TO PUMPKIN AND GO TO SLEEP..LOL...SEE YA

A NEW ERA HAS COME

2009-09-25T10:59:00.002-04:00

YES MY FRIENDS, A NEW ERA HAS STARTED TO TAKE OVER MY WHOLE BEING..
LAST WEEK WAS THE START OF THE JEWISH NEW YEAR. MY BROTHER AND S.I.L. LIVE IN BOCA RATON WHICH IS ABOUT 45 MINUTES AWAY. TO START THIS DAY AFTER I DRESSED AND THREW SOME MAKEUP ON I SET MY WATCH. YES, AN OLD TYPE. I WAS TO GET THERE ABOUT 4PM SO I COULD LEAVE EARLY AS TO AVOID DRIVING IN THE DARK. SWELL..AS I REACHED THE ENTRY TO THEIR COMMUNITY, THE GUARD ASKED FOR MY PICTURE I.D. WELL, BOING, A LITTLE THING WENT OF IN MY HEAD. I DID NOT TAKE MY OTHER LITTLE WALLET WITH MY CREDIT CARDS AND OTHER STUFF, INCLUDING MY DRIVERS LICENSE, PICTURE I.D. ETC. SHE WOULD NOT LET ME IN..ANYHOW SHE CALLED THE HOUSE AND MY S.I.L. CAME TO LET ME IN..I WAS ALSO 1 HOUR EARLY. I SET MY WATCH WRONG..WE HAD A GREAT TIME. MY S.I.L. IS A WONDERFUL COOK..TO TOP OFF THE EVENING, THEY HAD A BATTLE ROYAL. MY BROTHER AND I WERE THE ONLY TWO FROM OUR SIDE. THIS IS HIS 2ND MARRIAGE..I DID NOT WAIT TO HEAR THE END, SO I KISSED THEM ALL GOODBYE AND WENT. ON THE PARKWAY GOING HOME I WAS DOING 80 ALL THE WAY UNTIL WE HIT A TERRIBLE DOWNPOUR. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF ABOUT 5 CARS AND WE SLOWED TO 60. LUCKY WE WERE ALL GOOD DRIVERS AND STUCK TOGETHER. IT WAS THE ONLY WAY U COULD SEE THE REAR RED LIGHTS TO GUIDE U ALONG..I GOT HOME IN TIME...THAT WAS SATURDAY. ON TUESDAY I WENT TO MY LONG TIME FRIENDS OF 55 YEARS. LOL.LOL. THAT DRIVE WAS AN HOUR LONG..WATCH WAS CORRECT. WE ATE LUNCH OUT, WENT BACK TO ONES HOME AND THREW THE BULL..WE REALLY ARE GREAT GALS AND GUYS. ONLY MY HUSBAND IS GONE FROM THE GROUP. SO WITH ALL THE STUPID THINGS I DID IN THE 4 DAY PERIOD I FEEL MY AGE CATCHING UP TO ME..AND I DONT LIKE IT ONE BIT. I WAS A ---OH, NEVER MIND. I FORGET WHAT.....LOL. ROFLMAO.. SO I WILL SEE YA....THIS SUNDAY WE OBSERVE YOM KIPPUR. OUR DAY OF FAST AND TIME TO REFLECT. AS A DIABETIC I DONT FAST ANY MORE, AND FOR REFLECTING, WELL I WORRY ABOUT OUR NEW PRESIDENT AND HIS REFLECTIONS...AGAIN, SEE YA

GOOD NEWS FOR A CHANGE

2009-09-09T18:04:00.002-04:00

A LITTLE GOOD NEWS FOR A CHANGE:
MY STRESS TEST CAME BACK GOOD. I WAS KINDA NERVOUS, I HAVE NOT BEEN BREATHING SO GOOD. LIKE WALKING AND GASPING FOR AIR..SO MAYBE I HAVE TO LOOSE A COUPLE OF POUNDS AGAIN, AND AGAIN AND WOULD U BELIEVE, AGAIN!!!
I SEEM TO BE OK WHEN I AM IN THE GYM. MY BIOPSY ON MY LEG ALSO CAME BACK AS BEING PRE-CANCEROUS. SEE HIM AGAIN IN 2 MONTHS..I CAN WAIT.
SO, TODAY AS THE SKIES OPENED AGAIN HERE IN FLORIDA, AS THEY HAVE BEEN PRETTY ACTIVE LATELY, I WENT WITH A FRIEND TO PURCHASE A NEW TV. LAST WEEK I HAD OUR LOCAL CARRIER, COMCAST, COME IN AND UPGRADE MY INTERNET, PUT ON LONG DISTANCE ON THE PHONE AND GOT CABLE TV. I HAD BEEN USING AT&T FOR SO LONG THAT I CHECKED THE STUFF OUT AND IT WILL COST ME LESS THIS WAY. WHOPPEE. SO I PURCHASED A 32INCH HDTV. I ALSO HAD TO GET A NEW TABLE. IT WILL COME ON SATURDAY, AND MY BROTHER WILL COME ON SUNDAY TO SET UP THE TABLE, AND THE TV. I CANT WAIT. SO IF U NEED A GOOD TV, I HAVE ONE FOR SALE. I AM GOING TO DONATE IT TO GOODWILL.. MY GOOD DEED FOR THE DAY. SO MY FRIENDS, THATS IT..I KNOW I HAVE TO CATCH UP ON MY JOURNAL READING, BUT I AM LAZY..I WILL TRY. SEEMS ALL THE OLD GALS FROM AOL JOURNALS ARE NOT POSTING ANY LONGER. WHERE DID Y'ALL GO??? GETS KINDA BORING AFTER A WHILE. SEEMS LIKE ME, NOTHING IS GOING ON IN OUR LIVES. MAYBE THATS GOOD, IM NOT SURE..SO SEE YA

AND AGAIN

2009-09-01T01:48:00.002-04:00

WELL, HERE IT IS, ALMOST 2AM..I CANNOT SLEEP. I DONT KNOW WHY. MUST BE BECAUSE ALL THE STUFF I AM GOING THROUGH. I SAW 4 DOCTORS LAST WEEK. A PODIATRIST WHO CUTS MY TOE NAILS.(5$), THEN THE DERMOTOLOGIST(5$). HE FOUND WHAT HE THINKS WAS ANOTHER CANCER THING ON MY LEG. DONT KNOW YET, WAITING FOR RESULTS. THEN ON THURSDAY, I WENT FOR A BLOOD TEST IN THE AM..IN THE AFTERNOON I SAW MY PRIMARY FOR A LITTLE VISIT. I HAVE NOT BEEN FEELING TO GREAT LATELY. I ALSO TOLD HIM THAT I AM BREATHING HARD FROM A WALK..SO TOMORROW, TUESDAY I AM GOING FOR A STRESS TEST. HAD ONE 2 YEARS AGO..OH, WELL..ANOTHER 5$.ITS NOT THE MONEY..I BELONG TO AN HMO AND AM VERY HAPPY WITH MY DOCTORS...SO WHY CANT I SLEEP....
THE END...SEE YA

ITS BEEN A LONG, LONG, TIME.....

2009-08-24T18:46:00.002-04:00

I KNOW, I JUST DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO REPORT..TO WRITE, OR TO EVEN BITCH ABOUT.
LIFE HERE IN PARADISE WITH A BUNCH OF OLD PEOPLE IS REALLY BORING.
I HARDLY EVER GO TO THE CASINO'S ANYMORE..IT HAS TO DO WITH OUR PREZ. MR O. I AIN'T GOT ANY MONEY.
I PAY MY BILLS, THANK GOODNESS, BUT I HAVE TO WATCH EVERY DAMN DOLLAR.
LUCKY FOR ME I CHOOSE TO GO ONTO A HMO PROGRAM THAT PAYS FOR ALL MY MEDS (EXCEPT ONE FOR $10.00PER MONTH). I SEE SPECIALIST THAT I NEED. THE DERMO MAN, THE PODIAT, MAN THE UROLOGY MAN. WHAT MORE MEN CAN I HAVE IN MY LIFE..I GO TO THE GYM, TWICE A WEEK, I MEET OTHER OLD FOLKS IN MY CLASS. THE MEN THAT ARE THERE ARE EITHER TOO OLD (U KNOW THE KIND- OBAMA WANTS TO GIVE THEM A PILL FOR THE PROBLEMS, SO THAT THEY WILL NOT HAVE A SURGERY BILL. KILL US ALL NOW!!!!)
THE YOUNG STUDS THAT WORK OUT ARE JUST NICE TO LOOK AT. THATS IT, JUST LOOK. ONCE I FELL, AND A BIG BLACK GUY WITH ARMS LIKE AN GORILLA CAME AND PICKED ME UP. YOU GOTTA KNOW THIS, I AIN'T NO LIGHT WEIGHT ANY MORE..
BUT SITTING THERE AND WATCHING THEM IS REALLY A DELIGHT FOR THE EYES..SO THATS MY STORY, I DONT KNOW WHEN I WILL WRITE ON THIS BLOG AGAIN..I HAVE TO WAIT FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN.....LOL, ROFLMAO......SEE YA

BACK TO MY WORLD

2009-08-03T19:06:00.002-04:00

HI, ITS BEEN A WHILE BECAUSE I HAVE HAD NOT MUCH TO SAY.
SO, THIS PAST WEEKEND I HAD SOME INTERESTING STUFF HAPPEN.
MY OLDEST SON AND HIS WONDERFUL WIFE WENT TO DENVER FOR THEIR YEARLY VACATION.
I WAS WATCHING THE TV EARLY ON SATURDAY MORNING WHEN I HEARD THAT LA GUARDIA AIRPORT WAS BEING EVACUATED.
MY KIDS LEAVE FROM A SMALL AIRPORT ON LONG ISLAND SO I FIGURED THEY EITHER CHANGED AT ATLANTA OR WENT TO ANOTHER AIRPORT.
WELL, MY D.I.L. CALLED ME SATURDAY EVENING..SO EXCITED, SO NUTS, NOT LIKE HER. SHE IS KINDA A LAYED BACK PERSON. SEEMS THE DRIVER WHO PICKED THEM UP AT 4AM AND BROUGHT THEM TO LA G. HAD TO LET THEM OFF ON THE PARKWAY. THERE WERE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WALKING AROUND. THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON..SHE SAID THEY WERE WALKING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY (GRAND CENTRAL) THEY WERE TO BE ON A 6AM FLIGHT. THEY MADE THEIR WAY TO THE TERMINAL. THE ANNOUNCER WAS SAYING IF U HAVE A FLIGHT BEFORE 7AM YOU WILL BE ABLE TO LEAVE, EVERYBODY ELSE HAS TO WAIT AS NO PLANES WERE LANDING OR LEAVING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.
SEEMS, AS I LATER HEARD ON THE 5PM NEWS THAT A MAN WHO SEEMED TO BE HOMELESS WAS WEARING BATTERIES AND WIRES AROUND HIM. HE WAS THE TERRORIST. (THANK GOODNESS HE WAS JUST A JERK). SO THEY CLEARED THE AIRPORT. IT IS AMAZING WHAT ONE DUMB PERSON CAN CAUSE. MY KIDS SAID THAT PEOPLE WERE VERY GOOD WITH THE SITUATION. NO ONE WENT WILD WITH FEAR. GOOD OLD NEW YORKERS ARE AWARE OF THIS BECAUSE OF 9/11. SCARED YES, BUT CALM..TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORTER, THEY WERE NOT SURE IF THEIR LUGGAGE MADE IT ON THE PLANE (IT DID), THEY ARRIVED AT THE HOTEL IN DENVER AT 1:30AM..THE HOTEL WAS CLOSED FOR THE NIGHT. JUST A FEW LIGHTS ON, BUT ON A LIMITED STAFF..LUCKILY THEY WERE ABLE TO GET THEIR ROOMS. WHAT A START TO A VACATION...I HAD A FEELING THAT THEY WERE IN THAT MESS. I WATCHED IT ON TV. LIVE FROM NYC..TA-DA.
I HAVE NOT BEEN FEELING TOO WELL LATELY, JUST A COUPLE OF PROBLEMS..LIKE I PASSED A STONE WITH A WIRE ATTACHED TO IT..AFTER THE REPORT CAME BACK FROM THE LAB, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT IT WAS A STAPLE FROM AN OPERATION I HAD 19 YEARS AGO..MY DOCTOR WAS AMAZED AS WAS I.
I ALSO HAD A LITTLE CANCER THING REMOVED FROM MY LEG. I WAS NOT ABLE TO GO TO THE POOL FOR 6 WEEKS..SO THIS PAST WEEKEND, HERE IN THE FLORIDA HEAT, I FINALLY GOT THERE FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...
SO THATS IT FOR NOW, HOPEFULLY I WILL HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO REPORT THAT IS A DOWNER......SO SEE YA

GEE, I AM SORRY

2009-07-10T11:09:00.002-04:00

GEE, I AM SORRY, I HAVE BEEN A BAD GIRL. I HAVE NOT POSTED FOR SOME TIME.
EITHER I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY OR I HAVE BEEN KINDA DOWN. YOU KNOW THE FEELING.
MY FRIDAY'S AND SOMETIMES MONDAY MORNING I HAVE BEEN CORRESPONDING WITH A NEW FRIEND.SHE LIVES IN WALES. WE SORT OF MET HERE ON THE PUTER. WE HAVE BEEN TELLING SECRETS, AND SEEM TO BE REALLY GOOD FRIENDS IF ONLY WE LIVED CLOSER. ITS A GOOD THING. WE EXCHANGED PHOTOS OF OUR FAMILIES AND OUR PETS. WE EVEN GOOGLE EARTH TO SEE WHERE WE LIVE. A NEW WORLD HAS OPENED UP.
BUT LIFE IN THE OLD HOMESTEAD IS JUST AS IT WAS BEFORE. NOTHING NEW, SAME OLD GOING TO MALLS, SHOPPPING AND DOING NOTHING.
I WILL TRY TO CATCH UP WITH ALL OF MY FAVORITE BLOGS.
SO, SEE YA

LOOKIE, LOOKIE HERE

2009-05-30T20:52:00.002-04:00

NOW HE IS COMPLAINING ABOUT US BEING IN "HIS" ROOM. LOL. WE JUST GOOGLED EARTH AND LOOKED AT EVERYBODIES HOMES WE COULD THINK OF..DIRTY LITTLE SNOOPERS WE ARE. THEY CAME LAST NIGHT AT ABOUT 11PM. TODAY WE WATCHED THE RAIN, THEN TOOK TO HIS RENTAL AND PERUSED BROWARD COUNTY LOOKING FOR A DODGE DEALER. WOULD U BELIEVE THAT THEY WERE ALL CLOSED. TODAY ON SATURDAY, THE DAY PEOPLE SHOP. GUESS THEY ARE ALL GOING OUT OF BUSINESS. IF WE FOUND A PLACE, HE WOULD HAVE BOUGHT HIMSELF A NEW TRUCK.HIS WIFE, MY D.I.L. WOULD HAVE KILLED HIM..BUT HE WOULD HAVE WON ANYHOW. SHE IS READING THIS AND HAS PUNCHED MY ARM 3 TIMES NOW..TOMORROW THEY LEAVE IN THE EARLY AFTERNOON. FIRSTLY, THEY GO TO THE AIRPORT AND HAVE DINNER.. I DONT FEED THEM..LUCKY I HAD SOME DRY CEREAL FOR HER FOR BREAKFAST. SHE IS WATCHING ME, AS I SEE HER IN THE MIRROR IN FRONT OF ME. UH OH JUST GOT CAUGHT, SHE READ THIS HERE..SO, NOW I GOTTA GET OFF AND FIND A LARGE CUP FOR MY SON, AS HE SAW WE BOTH HAVE BIG CUPS AND HE IS JEALOUS OF US...SO SEE YA

2009-05-19T18:27:00.003-04:00

NOW HEAR THIS, THAT IS A PHOTO OF MY LITTLE BROTHER. YEAH, I KNOW, HE IS AWFULLY YOUNG TO BE MY BRO. HERE IS IT'S STORY...THIS PHOTO AND A BUNCH MORE WERE TAKEN AT A PLACE CALLED BIDE-A-WEE. WHEN WE WERE KIDS MY FATHER LOVED TO EXPLORE.HE FOUND THIS PLACE THAT WAS A HUMANE SOCIETY KIND OF PLACE. THERE WAS ALSO A PET CEMETERY THERE ALSO. AS A MATTER OF FACT PRESIDENT ROOSEVELTS DOG WAS LAID OUT THERE. WELL, A PHOTOGRAPHER TOOK HIS PICTURE WITH SEVERAL DIFFERENT ANIMALS. IT WAS GOING TO BE ON THE COVER OF LIFE MAGAZINE.HE NEVER MADE IT. THE DATE HE WAS TO BE ON IT WAS DECEMBER 7, 1941..NOW U KNOW THE WHOLE STORY..SEE YA.

ITS GOOD TO BE BACK HERE

2009-05-11T16:27:00.002-04:00

I KNOW I HAVE BEEN TARDY FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. FIRST I HAD A SMALL PROCEDURE. I STILL DO NOT KNOW IF IT IS O.K.
THEN MY FRIEND FROM N.Y. WAS MY GUEST FOR 10 DAYS. THOSE WERE NOT SO GOOD. I DID NOT REALIZE THAT IT WOULD TAKE SO MUCH OUT OF ME..WE KNOW EACH OTHER FOR 45 YEARS. OUR DAUGHTERS ARE STILL FRIENDS ALSO. IT WAS A VERY BUSY TIME. HERE ARE THE HIGHLIGHTS:
I PICKED HER UP AT THE AIRPORT ON TUESDAY THE 28TH. FOR DINNER WE WENT TO CHILI'S.
W- WENT TO KOHL'S (NEW IN FLORIDA), AND ATE AT THE BEST CHINESE RESTURANT IN THE WORLD. P.F. CHANGS. (SHE PAID)
THURS.I WENT TO THE GYM, LEFT HER AT THE POOL. ATE AT A LOCAL DINER.
FRI. WE WENT ON AN EVERGLADES BOAT RIDE. ATE AT THE CRACKER BARREL.
SAT.TO THE POOL. ATE AT APPLEBEES.
SUNDAY. I STAYED IN. SHE WAS AT THE POOL. IN THE EVENING TWO OF HER FRIENDS CAME OVER AND WE WENT TO LA BAMBA, AT SPANISH RESTURANT, THEN WE WENT TO A PENNY ARCADE. ITS REALLY NOT THAT, ITS A GAMBLING JOINT. THEY ARE ALL OVER SO.FLORIDA. THEY SERVE LUNCH, DINNER. HOT AND COLD DRINKS, CAKES..NOT MY SPEED!
MONDAY-POOL FOR HER, I WENT LATER. THEN TO A CHINESE BUFFET, THEN TO THE ARCADE AGAIN.WE HAD TO PLAY TO LOWER OUR MONEY ON THE CARDS. (OR THEY GET IT)
TUES-TO THE HARD ROCK CASINO, I CAME OUT EVEN. GOOD BUFFET THERE ALSO.
WED. WENT ON OUR BUS TO THE SAWGRASS MALL. ATE AT BURGER KING..LOL
THURS-GYM FOR ME, POOL FOR HER, ATE AT A LOCAL DELI.
SO, AFTER WRITING THIS, I SEE ALL WE REALLY DID WAS EAT.
SHE WAS NOT A HAPPY CAMPER BECAUSE SHE WANTED TO GO OUT AT NIGHT..I DONT DRIVE AT NIGHT ANYMORE SO SHE HAD TO WATCH TV..TOO BAD. SO THAT WAS WHY I WAS NOT HERE WRITING MY WORDS, READING URS...SEE YA

MY NIECE AND I WERE TALKING, ME NOT WATCHING, WATCH OUT FRANK, U ALMOST MISSED THAT TURN, AND AGAIN, MISSED ANOTHER ONE. STOP CUTTING OFF THE CARS. WE WERE LAYING ON THE FLOOR GIGGLING. NOT HIM..HE WAS GETTING PISSED. WELL, WE MADE IT. WE HAD RESERVATIONS. A BIRTHDAY PARTY IS ANNOUNCED BY THE PIANO PLAYER WHEN U GET DESSERT. SINGS HAPPY BIRTHDAY. NICE..WE STARTED WITH DRINKS, CAUSE WE WERE STILL LAUGHING OUR HEADS OFF. I DONT DRINK TOO MUCH ANYMORE CAUSE OF MEDS I TAKE, BUT WHAT THE HECK. VODKA/ROCKS. THEY FINISHED THEIRS, WAITER WANTS TO REFILL, I PASS..HE BRINGS ME ANOTHER ANYHOW. OK. WE EAT, WE ARE STILL LAUGHING LIKE MAD..IT IS A THURSDAY NIGHT. EARLY BIRD IS OVER AT 5:30. BY 6:30 THE PLACE IS JUMPING..BIG GROUPS. U HAVE TO KNOW, THIS IS NOT A CHEAP PLACE. IT IS CLASSY. BY 7PM I DONT THINK THERE WAS A TABLE LEFT. THE PLACE IS DIVIDED WITH LOW PRIVATE WALLS. ALL TABLES ARE IN A HORSE SHOW. WE ARE SNAPPING PHOTOS, THE WAITER TAKES SOME FOR US. THE PEOPLE AT THE NEXT BOOTH ARE NOW LAUGHING WITH US.(MAYBE AT US?).

WE ARE DONE. RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD IS THE BASS PRO SHOP. IT MUST BE 2-3 FOOTBALL FIELDS LARGE. THEY MAKE ME GET IN A WHEEL CHAIR..WE WERE SHOOTING GUNS, WATCHING A GIANT TANK WITH HUGE FISH. THAT PHOTO IS OF ONE GREAT BIG FIXTURE HANGING DOWN. IT IS THE LARGEST STORE OF ITS KIND IN THE USA..GOOGLE IT..BY THE WAY, WE WERE NOT DRUNK. MY BRO BLEW OUT HIS CANDLE TOO SOON. HE HAD TO RE LITE IT..TOOK THE CANDLE FROM THE TABLE AND STUCK HIS BIRTHDAY CANDLE IN IT. IT WAS A MAKE-BELIEVE-ONE..WE LAIDED ON THE FLOOR WITH THAT ONE..P.S. IT WAS HIS GRAND DAUGHTERS BIRTHDAY ALSO. 10 DAYS PRIOR. SHE IS 5...GREAT KID. HOPE U ALL ENJOYED THIS AS MUCH AS I DID..WISH I COULD REMEMBER IT ALL....SEE YA

LIVING IN THE WILD IN THE CITY

2009-04-24T11:32:00.003-04:00

FIRSTLY, I JUST GOT TO GET USED TO PUTTING PHOTOS ON THIS BLOG, IN MY NEW VISTA FORMAT..THIS MAY BE RIGHT. I CAN SEE AT THE END..SO, I LIVE IN A SMALL CITY. ON ONE OF OUR MAIN STREETS, RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO MY BANK, WAS AN OLD BARN THAT HAS BEEN EMPTY FOR YEARS. (I LIVE HERE 20 YEARS, AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN USED..AND LOOK AT THAT: THERE ARE NOW ABOUT 6-7 HORSES AND PONIES GRAZING ON THE GRASS. KINDA NEAT, YEAH..THE LIZARD AND A FEW OTHERS LIKE IT LIVE SOMEWHERE BEHIND MY CONDO WHERE THERE IS A CANAL. IT LEADS VIA LOTS OF OTHER CANALS RIGHT TO THE ATLANTIC OCEAN. I IMAGINE PEOPLE WHO HAD LITTLE LIZARDS THAT GOT TO BIG TO KEEP AS PETS LET THEM LOOSE. SO EVERY NOW AND AGAIN I SPOT ONE..THIS MAMA WAS WITH HER BABY, MAYBE ON A FIRST RUN. THE BABY RAN DOWN ALONG THE WATER AND MAMA STOOD BACK AND WATCHED. BABY MADE A TURN AND MAMA WAITED. SHE FINALLY STARTED TO LOOK FOR IT..BY THE TIME SHE WAS UNDER MY WINDOWS, SHE HAD LOST IT..I DO NOT KNOW IF SHE EVER FOUND IT..NO PROBLEM. THEY ARE HARMLESS AS THEY ONLY EAT GRASS, BUT LOOK MENACING. THIS WAS JUST A FIRST ATTEMPT AT PUTTING ON THE PHOTOS. SO SEE YA

A DAY AT THE MALL

2009-04-22T17:38:00.002-04:00

TODAY WAS MY MALL DAY. EVERY WEDNESDAY. TODAY WE WERE AT THE VERY POPULAR BROWARD MALL. TO SAY THE PLACE WAS EMPTY WOULD BE A TRUTHFULL STATEMENT.
THIS MALL IS THE HOME OF MACY'S, DILLARDS, JC PENNEY, AND SEARS. NO SMALL STUFF.
TO START WITH, THE MALLS STORES ARE NOW OPENING AT 10:30. WE GET THERE AT 9:45.. BORING.
THE FOOD COURT, A POPULAR SPOT, WAS ALSO EMPTY. THE PIZZA PLACE WAS CLOSED, THE SALAD PLACE WHO SERVED BREAKFAST, LUNCH AND LIGHT DINNERS, WAS A VERY BUSY PLACE. NOT CHEAP, BUT GOOD, CLEAN FOOD..CLOSED. THE SUBWAY STORE HAS ONLY A LIMITED $5.00 MENU..THAT LEAVES THE CHINESE PLACE, CHICK-A-FILA, CHARLEY O'S (LIKE SUBWAY) EDO,(JAPANESE STIR FRY) AND THE COOKIE PLACE.
NOT TOO MUCH TO EAT. I HAD A SOUTHWEST SALAD AT CHICK-FILA. VERY GOOD. AND ONLY .55CENTS MORE THAN A SUBWAY SANDWICH. THEY ALSO MAKE A PRETTY GOOD SOFT SERVE FROZEN ICE MILK DESSERT. ALSO GOOD.(I GET BRAIN FREEZE FROM IT) LOL. THE DOLLAR STORE THAT WAS ALWAYS OUR LAST STOP BEFORE GETTING ON THE BUS IS ALSO CLOSED. WE WERE ABLE TO EAT LUNCH AND GO THERE, NOW WE SIT AT THE FOOD COURT FOR A LONGGGGGG 2 HOURS..
LOOKING AROUND OUR COUNTY SHOWS LOTS AND LOTS OF CLOSED STORES..NOT ONLY THE MOM AND POPS, BUT THE LARGER ONES ALSO..
I HATE TO SAY IT, BUT OUR MR. OBAMA HAS NOT HELPED THE SITUATION ANY. HE ONLY BAD MOUTHS OUR COUNTRY. OK, NO MORE POLITICS FOR NOW...SEE YA

HE DID, HE FOUND ME A SURGEON WHO WILL DO THE PROCEDURE AS AN OUT-PATIENT..NO CUTTING..JUST GIVE ME LOTS OF SLEEPING GAS AND LEAVE ME ALONE.!!! LOL IT WILL BE DONE ON APRIL 10th. I AM SO RELIEVED THAT I CANT WAIT...MY MAIN CONCERN WAS FOR PUMPKIN. THE FRIEND THAT USUALLY TAKES CARE OF HER NEEDS IS NOW VERY ILL..I WOULD HAVE TO FIND SOMEBODY ELSE WHO I COULD TRUST..SO THATS IT FRIENDS, SEE YA

WHY ME AGAIN?

2009-03-28T02:32:00.002-04:00

TROUBLE, TROUBLE,TROUBLE

2009-03-15T12:34:00.002-04:00

SEEMS TO ME I RUN INTO TROUBLE MUCH TO OFTEN..JUST NOW, I TRIED TO LEAVE SO COMMENTS ON YOUR BLOGS..I AM A FOLLOWER. SO THEY SAY. I READ THE BLOG, AND GO TO COMMENT..WELL, THEY DONT LIKE MY NAME/OR PASSWORD..I DONT WHICH. I TRY THEM ALL..NOTHING WORKED, SO PLEASE KNOW I AM THERE, READING AWAY AND NOT COMMENTING..
I THINK THE BIGGEST MISTAKE I MADE WAS TO CHANGE FROM FLOSSIEPUMPKIN TO GREENTHUMB. I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY I COULD NOT DO THAT..ITS NOT LIKE I AM GOING TO HOLD UP A BANK OR SOMETHING..JUST A DAMN NAME..IF I USE FP, OR GT, I AM TOLD TO OPEN AN ACCOUNT. I HAVE ALL THOSE ACCOUNTS. I HAVE THEM MARKED ON A PIECE OF PAPER.(YEAH, STILL USE THAT STUFF) WITH THE MATCHING PASSWORDS..I TRY THEM ALL, I PROMISE I DO. WHEN WE WERE FORCED TO GO ON HERE BECAUSE AOL DID'NT WANT US ANY MORE I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE AN EASIER THING..WRONG. THE BEST PART OF THIS BLOG THING IS THAT I GO TO SEE THE NEXT BLOG..AND IT IS USUALLY IN SPANISH, OR CHINESE, OR OTHERS THAT I DONT UNDERSTAND..BUT WHO CARES. THEY HAVE NICE PICTURES.SO DONT HATE ME. I AM STILL HERE, READING AND MAYBE WILL LEAVE COMMENTS ON MY BLOG..IF THEY LET ME ON..SEE YA

OH YEAH, I FORGOT

2009-03-02T09:28:00.002-05:00

YEP, THATS THE TITLE OF THIS LITTLE BLOG.
LAST FRIDAY, USUALLY THE DAY I STAY IN CAUSE I HAVE NO PLACE TO GO, AND I JUST LIKE TO HANG BY MYSELF.
WELL, I HAD A $10.00 OFF COUPON FOR J.C. PENNEY. HOLY CRAP, I CAN'T NOT USE THAT (DOUBLE NEGATIVE)..ANYHOW, I GOT DRESSED AND HEADED OUT..I HAD A BOOK TO RETURN TO THE LIBRARY THAT I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT. SO ON TO THE MALL. I USUALLY GO BY OUR CONDO BUS, BUT BEING A BIG GIRL NOW AND HAVE MY OWN CAR, AND MY TANK WAS FULL WITH $1.99 GAS I WENT SOLO. I DONT ALWAYS LIKE GOING WITH THE OTHER GIRLS , AS I LIKE TO DO ALONE STUFF...SO I PARK IN A HANDICAP SPOT PRETTY CLOSE TO THE ENTRANCE I WANT..I WAS ONE ROW BEHIND A SPOT FOR EXPECTANT MOTHERS..GOT IT ALL INTO MY SLOW BRAIN. BEFORE GOING INTO PENNEY'S I SAT ON A BENCH A TOOK ANOTHER VICODIN..ALL THIS WALKING HURTS..FOOLED AROUND IN THE WOMENS DEPARTMENT AND FINALLY TOOK A COUPLE OF PAIRS OF JEANS INTO THE DRESSING ROOM..OFF WITH THE SNEAKERS, OFF WITH MY PANTS, AND ON WITH THE NEW STUFF. I USUALLY BUY THE SAME BRAND CAUSE I KNOW HOW THEY FIT, AND WASH WELL..THE FIRST PAIR MUST HAVE BEEN MARKED WRONG. I COULDN'T GET IT OVER MY BACKSIDE..THE NEXT WAS THE SAME IN A DIFFERENT COLOR..NO PROBLEM. WENT AND PAID FOR IT..MY FEET HURT SO MUCH THAT I DID NOT GO UP TO THE 2ND LEVEL. I WANTED TO CHECK OUT SOME TOWELS..SO OUT TO THE PARKING LOT..I STARTED WALKING TO THE LEFT. THAT WAS RIGHT. I KNOW WHERE I PARKED..SO I WALKED, AND WALKED, AND SOME MORE, MY POOR LITTLE FEETIES WERE SCREAMING AT ME. I STARTED RUNNING OUT OF CARS. I COULD NOT FIND THAT SPOT FOR THE NEW MOMMIES..I LEANED AGAINST A LEXUS (HEY, I CARE) AND WAITED FOR THE SECURITY TO RIDE PAST ME..AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES HE CAME, I WAVED, AND JUMPED (LOL) INTO HIS TRUCK. I TOLD HIM WHERE THE CAR WAS, CAUSE I KNEW, JUST WALKED THE WRONG WAY..AND THERE WAS MY BABY..JUST SITTING THERE WHERE I LEFT HER. WAITING FOR ME. SUCH A GOOD CAR. (HONDA). I CANT TELL ANYBODY ABOUT THIS CAUSE THEY STILL THINK I HAVE IT ALL TOGETHER..WELL, I DONT. I FEEL THE CHANGE IN MY HEAD. MY ADVISE====DONT GET OLD..LOL... SEE YA

SO MUCH, SO MUCH

2009-02-18T09:07:00.002-05:00

SO MUCH HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO MY WORLD THAT I JUST DONT KNOW WHERE TO START. I CANNOT TELL ALL. THE FEW THINGS ARE STUPID THINGS THAT HAVE OCCURED IN MY SMALL WORLD OF CONDO LIVING..EACH BUILDING HAS A CAPTAIN. LOL. I WAS CAPTAIN ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO. AT THAT TIME WE SERVED FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS AND THEN SOMEBODY ELSE TOOK OVER..NOW-A-DAYS WE HAVE A CAPT. WHO HAS BEEN AT THE HELM FOR A GOOD 5 YEARS, MOSTLY CAUSE NOBODY WANTS THE STUPID JOB. IF WE DONT LIKE WHAT SHE HAS DONE, OR HAS DONE SOMETHING THAT IS NOT ALLOWED SHE GETS ALL PISSY AND SAYS, "YOU BE THE CAPT", AND SHE KNOWS DAMN WELL THAT NOBODY WANTS IT. BUT WE STILL HAVE MOUTHS. AND I USE MY WELL..LOL. ANYHOW, SHE SHOULD HAVE A BUILDING MTG EVERY 2 MONTHS AT LEAST. WE SHOULD HAVE IT IN OUR CLUBHOUSE..SHE HAS A MTG WHEN SHE WANTS IN HER APT. I STOPPED GOING CAUSE I AM A RENAGADE. THE LAST THING SHE DID TO GET OUR GOATS WAS TO HANG ART WORK IN THE HALL WAYS AND IN THE ELEVATOR..THIS IS CALLED COMMON PROPERTY, AND IS NOT ALLOWED. THE NEW BOARD OF THE CONDO FOUND OUT ABOUT IT AND DEMANDED HER TO REMOVE THEM..ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE. AND GUESS WHO WAS THE LEADER OF THE PACK!!! WELL, I AM BLAMNED FOR EVERY THING ANYHOW..SO I JUST SIT BACK AND WATCH..SHE HAS SUCH A BIG AND LOUD MOUTH THAT ALL THESE SENIORS ARE AFRAID OF HER.BUT NOT ME..SO I GET THE BRUNT OF ANGER THROWN AT ME..IF U KNOW ME, U WOULD KNOW THAT I DONT GIVE A RAP. I HAVE GONE THROUGH ENOUGH IN MY LIFE TO NOT WORRY ABOUT THESE LITTLE STUPID THINGS..SO THATS WHATS GOING ON IN THIS STAGE OF MY LIFE..SOME PEOPLE STILL TALK TO ME. LOL. LIKE I SAID THEY HAVE MORE TO LOOSE BY BEING MAD AT ME THAN I HAVE TO LOOSE BEING ME...AND I WILL STILL BE ME!!! SEE YA

JUST BECAUSE

2009-02-09T18:30:00.002-05:00

JUST BECAUSE SHE TOLD ME TO, I DID IT..MY DAUGHTER IN LAW #1 TOLD ME THAT ON MY PROFILE I DID NOT MENTION THE FACT THAT I HAVE 2 D.I.L.'S..HER NAME IS CAROL. SHE TOLD ME NOT TO DO WHAT I JUST DID..SO I DID IT..SORRY CAROL...LOL

(DO U KNOW HOW I FELT TELLING THAT TO A KID WHO LOOKED AT ME LIKE I WAS A CRAZY OLD BROAD). WELL, ITS TRUE, IF I SIT ON IT DURING THE DAY, LIKE ON WEEKENDS WHEN I TEND TO STAY HOME AND DO STUFF AND THEN READ AND REST. WELL, I HAVE PUSHED IT OVER, NO EASY TASK, AND SPRAYED WD 40. SEVERAL TIMES..THEN I DISCOVERED THAT THE BACK LIFTS OFF MAKING THE TURN OVER REALLY EASY. SO I DID THAT SEVERAL TIMES, CHANGING THE SPRAY TO A SILICONE ONE..AND THEN AGAIN USING BOTH OF THEM..I AM REALLY GOING NUTS..WHEN MY SON AND D.I.L. WERE HERE IN DECEMBER, MY SON THE MECHANIC DID HIS JOB ON IT. (LIKE IT WAS A ROLLS ROYCE). HE DID IT IN THE EVENING, AND IT SOUNDED GREAT..THEN THEY WENT HOME. BACK TO NORMAL..LAST WEEK MY BROTHER CAME TO DO A FEW THINGS FOR ME. O.K. BERT, I WILL FIX IT FOR U...LOL..HE TOOK IT APART, TURNED THE BABY OVER AND SAID, LOOK, SEE HERE. IT RUBS. OK. I SAY.

2009-01-05T18:31:00.002-05:00

THEY ALL CAME..NOT THAT I THOUGHT THEY WOULD NOT. I GAVE EVERBODY A CHORE..SO THEY HAD TO SHOW UP..LOL
WE WERE 7 WOMEN AND 3 MEN.. THE POPULATION HERE IN SUNRISE IS ABOUT 90% WOMEN. WHAT A LAUGH. THE MEN ALL THINK THEY ARE WANTED..ANOTHER LAUGH. BUT I DIGRESS.
ONE PERSON MADE THE TUNA SALAD..VERY NICE, I GAVE HER THE TOMATO'S TO DECORTATE. LOOKED GOOD. TASTED, WELL NOT TO MY TASTE. ANOTHER MADE EGG SALAD. WELL IT WAS MADE WITH EGGS!!NOT BAD. ITS KINDA HARD TO SCREW UP EGG SALAD. ANOTHER BROUGHT THE 2 BOTTLES OF 7 UP (ONE DIET, ONE REGULAR), NOBODY DRANK IT..(PEOPLE REALLY GO FOR THE COLA STUFF), ANOTHER BROUGHT WONDERFUL COOKIES, (BAKERY BOUGHT) AND A GOOD RYE BREAD. ANOTHER, STORE BOUGHT ROLLS. (O.K.) ONE OF THE MEN, HAS NO WIFE. SMART GUY, CAME WITH 2 LBS OF POTATO SALAD AND 2 LBS OF COLE SLAW..(1 OF EACH WOULD HAVE BEEN ENOUGH) BUT HE IS SINGLE AND DOES THE RIGHT STUFF..I SUPPLIED THE WINE. OK, FOR NON DRINKERS, (DIABETES, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, DIET, PILLS) THEY WINE WAS THE FIRST TO GO...YUMMY. I HAVE ABOUT A HALF OF GLASS LEFT OVER. I WILL FINISH IT TONIGHT..THE FOOD WAS NOT REALLY THE HIGHTLIGHT OF THE EVENING..WE JUST TALKED, HAD SOME FUN, AND DID NOT TALK ABOUT ANYBODY IN THE BUILDING..NOW, THATS A FIRST. I ALMOST THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO BE CRASHED, BUT ALAS THEY DID NOT BOTHER..SO WE HAD COFFEE, SOME FRUIT THAT WAS BROUGHT AND LOTS OF GREAT COOKIES..THING IS, WE HAD A WONDERFUL TIME AND SOMEBODY SAID WE SHOULD DO THIS ONCE A MONTH..YIKES..ALL I KNOW IS THAT THE CLEANING UP WAS NOT TOO BAD. MY CLEANING PEOPLE COME ON WEDNESDAY, SO I DID NOT HAVE TO DO THE FLOORS, ETC..JUST PUT AWAY SOME DISHES..NOT MANY AS WE USED PLASTIC FOR EVERYTHING..EXCEPT COFFEE MUGS. I WAS AFRAID TO GIVE THEM FOAM CUPS. TOO DANGEROUS FOR SENIORS..ONE OF THEM STARTED TO WASH THE FEW PLATES AND CUPS AND SERVING ITEMS..I WAS GOING TO PUT THEM IN THE DISHWASHER. OH WELL, I HAD TO DO SOME BY HAND THIS MORNING!
THEY WERE GONE BY 8:30... THE BAD NEWS OF THE WEEK-END WAS THAT THE DOLPHINS LOST THEIR SHOT AT THE PLAYOFFS. I AM A BIG FOOTBALL FAN...SO THATS THAT...SEE YA

WHAT TO DO AT 1:25AM

2009-01-04T01:18:00.002-05:00

when i can't sleep i seem to find myself sitting here at my computer. now, i just have to remember what i have to report on the last couple of days..
i finally got my son to purchase a web cam for his puter. my comes already installed. well, what a great thing that is. my grandkids were talking like not stupid, not doing there usual dopey stuff. they are 9 and 6. they just got a dog. so they brought the dog to the picture and i was calling him, rudy, rudy here girl. the dopey dog could not find me..lol..i picked up pumpkin to look at the dog..she was not impressed with this great technology. but i gotta tell u, it was a blast...here we are in 2009. thats another thing that blows me away. In my wildest dreams i never even thought of seeing a new century, let alone 2009. it seemed so long in the future. but here i am going strong in this new fangled world. If anybody out there has a webcam and you want to play with me, let me know..(i have to comb my hair, put on lipstick and not wear my creepy clothes..lol.
tomorrow evening i have invited my 3rd floor neighbors to have a get together..we are all bringing something different to eat. just the basic stuff like egg salad, tuna salad, veggies, snacks, noodle pudding and wine, soda, etc. coffee, cake, and somebody told me she is making franks in blankets..i live in a condo with 4 floors, 9 units on a floor. nobody really told about this thing except one person and it started to back fire on me..hey, have a party on your floor. the thing is i will not and cannot have everybody in my apt. so i called this "the 3rd floor recession party". let them eat there hearts out..and nobody better crash..i will have to post pumpkin at the door to scare them away..ROFLMAO. i am sure it will be great. i hope to be able to report to you if i am not beat up...
stay tuned for the photos and the update. oh, if you happen to be in the neighborhood, do drop in.. see ya

I DO LET HER OUT IN THE MORNING BECAUSE THE SUN IS THERE AND SHE LIKES TO BASK IN IT..THE OTHER DAY I WAS GETTING READY TO LEAVE FOR THE GYM AND LO AND BEHOLD, SHE WAS GONE..SHE HAS TAKEN HER LITTLE STROLLS AND IF I CALL HER, SHE COMES BACK. I KNOW WHERE SHE IS BECAUSE THE BELL AROUND HER NECK TINKLES..SO I MARCH UP AND BACK ON THE CAT WALK, AND NO PUMPKIN. MY DAMN FEET ARE KILLING ME BECAUSE THE PILLS HAVE NOT KICKED IN YET. I TAKE THE ELEVATOR DOWN ONE FLIGHT AS SHE ENDS UP IN THE DOOR BELOW MY PLACE. SHE IS LOST. WELL, NOT THERE. I AM CALLING HER ALL THE TIME, BUT NOT VERY LOUD AS IT IS 9:15 AM..I GOTTA GET GOING. SO I GO INTO THE HOUSE FOR THE THIRD TIME TO CHECK HER HIDDING PLACES. AND THERE SHE IS, SITTING INSIDE THE DOOR LOOKING ALL INNOCENT..I LEFT THE DOOR OPEN, SHE PROBABLY WENT IN, AND THE DOOR SHUT FROM THE BREEZE, BUT THESE NIGHT TIME CRIES ARE DRIVING ME NUTS. WHY DOES SHE NOT UNDERSTAND THE WORD NO? OH WELL, CATS RULE....EVERYBODY HAVE A VERY JOYFULL CHRISTMAS. OH, BY THE WAY, I AM THE ONLY PERSON IN THE WORLD WHO LOVES FRUIT CAKE. EVEN HARD.

THANK YOU JANIE FOR THE MARIE ANTOINETTE AWARD..I DID NOT KNOW I WAS WORTHY. MY ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT I DONT KNOW HOW TO PUT IT ON MY BLOG..THAT IS NOT A NEW THING.

TODAY, DECEMBER 1, 2008

2008-12-01T19:05:00.000-05:00

TODAY WAS MY BIRTHDAY. I AM NOW YEARS OLD...LOL
TODAY I DID SOMETHING THAT I HAVE NEVER DONE BEFORE.
I WENT TO A RESTURANT BY MY SELF. I HAVE BEEN A WIDOW FOR 5 YEARS, AND BEFORE THAT MARRIED FOR 48. I ALWAYS WENT WITH MY HUSBAND ALONE OR WITH FRIENDS. NOW I FIND THAT BEING SINGLE EXCLUDES ME FROM GOING OUT WITH MARRIED PEOPLE..THE MAIN EXCUSE FROM ONE OF THE GIRLS I KNOW IS THAT SHE WANTS TO OUT WITH PARTNERS CAUSE IT GIVES HER HUSBAND SOMEBODY TO TALK TOO. WHATS WITH THAT CRAP..I KNOW HOW TO TALK...
SO FIRST I WENT TO THE BANK TO DEPOSIT MY HUGE CHECK FROM BROWARD COUNTY FOR WORKING THE POLL. NOT WORTH THE MONEY, I WAS SO SICK AFTER THAT {READ BLOG ON POLLS-11/08}, THEN I WENT TO TARGET TO BUY A DUST BUSTER. MY OLD ONE ONLY GROANS, DOES NOT PICK UP ANYTHING..MAINLY PUMPKINS LITTER ALL OF THE BATHROOM. THEN HOME TO PUT THE STUFF AWAY. THEN TO P.F. CHANGS. THE FINEST CHINESE CUISINE ANYWHERE..I HAD A 10% COUPON, CAUSE THEY LIKE ME, AND A COUPON FOR A FREE APPETIZER THAT AN OWNER GAVE ME ON ONE OF MY VISITS. (SHE WAS JUST WALKING AROUND, SEEING IF EVERYBODY WAS HAPPY) AND LAST WEEK I RECIEVED AN E-MAIL FOR A FREE DESSERT. WHOPEEE...IF U HAVE NEVER BEEN TO THIS PLACE YOU ARE MISSING SOME GOOD STUFF..THE DESSERT WAS FOR A SMALL SHOT GLASS OF GOOD STUFF. (LIKE APPLEBEE'S HAS ALSO) EXCEPT HERE IT WAS 2.50..LOL. I HAD HOT AND SOUR SOUP, PEPPER STEAK/BROWN RICE. I TOOK HALF OF THAT HOME. I ALSO ORDERED LETTUCE WRAP/VEG. TO TAKE HOME AND A DISH OF NOODLES WITH HOT STUFF AND COOL STUFF IN IT CALLED DAN-DAN NOODLES..THE GREATEST....SO NOW THAT UR MOUTHS ARE WATERING..I AM GETTING OUT OF HERE SEE YA

WEDNESDAY AT THE MALL

2008-12-01T00:48:00.000-05:00

AS USUAL WE GO ON THE BUS TO THE MALLS ON WEDNESDAY. ITS BETTER THAN PAYING FOR OUR OWN GAS, AND EASIER TO GET PARKING. THIS PAST WEDNESDAY AS I SAT ON A BENCH AT THE BROWARD MALL A MAN PASSED WITH ABOUT TEN BOXES OF FLOWERS STICKING OUT. THEY WERE BROMELIADS. THE MALL IS COVERED WITH THEM. SO I WHINED AND SAID I WANT ONE. HE STOPPED AND SAID "WHAT" I SAID I WANT THAT. SO HE DUG INTO A BOX AND PULLED OUT TWO LOVELY PLANTS. I SAID THANK YOU, AND OFF HE WENT..WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT I ASKED MY FRIEND. I NEEDED BAGS TO PUT THEM IN, SO I WENT INTO JCPENNEY AND ASKED THE GIRL FOR A BAG. NO WAY SHE SAID. WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO GIVE OUT BAGS..OK..SO OUT I WENT AND SAW A COUPLE OF GUYS PUTTING POINSETTA'S INTO THE POTTED PALMS. AH-THEY WERE REPLACING THE PLANTS FOR THE CHRISTMAS LOOK. THEY GAVE ME TWO PLASTIC COVERS FOR THEM. SO HERE IS A PICTURE..AINT THEY BEAUTIFUL..IF I HAD TO BUY THEM AT THIS SIZE THEY MOST LIKELY WOULD SELL FOR A GOOD 15 BUCKS. NOW, WASN'T THAT A NICE THING. I AM SURE THEY ARE GOING TO DUMP THE REST AS THEY WERE NOT CAREFUL PUTTING THEM INTO THE BOXES. GOING TO THE MALL LATELY IS JUST A WAY FOR ME TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE. I DONT NEED ANYTHING. MY FRIENDS ARE SHOPAHOLICS..BUY, BUY, BUY. THEY HAVE STUFF WITH TAGS ON THEM IN THEIR CLOSETS...SO THATS IT FOR NOW..SEE YA

WHAT IS GOING ON?????

2008-11-22T18:59:00.000-05:00

WHAT IS GOING ON???
SEEMS TO ME THAT I HAVE TRIED PUTTING MY COMMENTS ON A LOT OF JOURNALS LATELY, AND THEY EITHER GET ON OR DONT. WHEN THEY DONT I TRY AGAIN AND AGAIN.
EVERYBODY HAS A DIFFERENT METHOD, AND I THOUGHT AOL WAS BAD..SOME U HAVE TO COPY A BUNCH OF DUMB LETTERS. SOME U JUST HAVE TO DECIDE IF U ARE OF AIM, GOOGLE, OR WHATEVER. I DONT KNOW WHERE TO GO..LOL....SO IF I MISSED U, SORRY. IF I GOT IT ON. STILL SORRY...LOL. THIS IS MAKING ME NUTS.
I AM ON MY NEW COMPUTER AND SOME THINGS ARE STARTING TO MAKE ME MORE NUTTIER..OH WELL......SEE YA

MURPHY'S LAW

2008-11-20T18:56:00.000-05:00

I SEEM TO BE GOING THROUGH A PERIOD KNOWN AS MURPHY'S LAW. FOR THE PAST WEEK OR SO I HAVE BEEN A TRUE MURPHYITE.
FOR EXAMPLE, AFTER WORKING THE POLL ON ELECTION DAY, I FIND THAT I HAVE BEEN REALLY TIRED. MORE SO THAN USUAL. THE OTHER DAY, I WAS AT THE MALL WITH PEOPLE FROM MY CONDO. WE GO EVERY WEDNESDAY ON THE "BUS". WE ARE ALL SENIORS, (LOL) WELL, IT WAS A NORMAL BORING DAY, I HAD A LUNCH FROM THE JAPANESE SECTION. TERIAKY CHICKEN OVER RICE. NOT BAD. AFTER THAT WE GO TO TARGET, IT BEING OUR LAST STOP BEFORE LOADING ON THE BUS TO GO HOME. I HAVE MADE A FRIEND WITH A BUNCH OF BOYS. (YES, BOYS) I AM CURRENTLY FRIENDLY WITH THE THIRD ONE..THE FIRST ONE GAVE ME MY USUAL. FROZEN YOURGUT IN A CUP WITH A SPLASH OF SOME FLAVOR. HE SCREWED UP THE PRICEING ON THE CASH REGISTER, AND IT CAME OUT TO BE .99CENTS. (IT IS A 2.58 ITEM). OK HE SAYS, NO PROBLEM..FINE, THIS WENT ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. HE WAS THEN REPLACED BY #2. WHEN I GO TO PAY, I BRING OUT THE LAST PRICE SLIP. HE TRIES REALLY HARD TO MATCH THAT PRICE. AH-HA HE CANNOT. THE BEST HE CAN DO IS .89CENTS..LOVE IT...ALSO, HE IS GONE AFTER A FEW WEEKS. #3 IS NOW MY CURRENT GUY. HE CANNOT MATCH THE PRICE EITHER..THESE KIDS ARE REALLY DUMB OR THEY HATE THE OWNER!!!!. I DID ASK HIM IF HE LIKED THE BOSS, YES HE DOES. LOL CHRIS IS HIS NAME. I NOW JUST WALK INTO THE SHOP AND HE JUMPS UP TO MAKE MY WONDERFUL CUP OF FROZEN GOODY. HE DOES NOT EVEN ASK FOR MONEY. SO NOW THE BEST PRICE I GET IS ZIPPO...LOVE THIS KID THE MOST. WHEN HE IS GONE I THINK I WILL GET THE STUFF AND HE WILL GIVE ME MONEY. NOT BAD. BUT BACK TO MURPHY. I GET HOME ABOUT 3PM. OF COURSE I AM POOPED OUT. I TRY NOT TO NAP AS IT SCREWS UP MY NIGHT TIME SLEEP. WELL, I FELL ASLEEP. I WOKE AT 4:29. IT WAS KINDA DARK OUTSIDE. ALSO IT IS FREEZING HERE IN FLORIDA. I WAS NOT SURE IF IT WAS MORNING OR THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT..WHAT TO DO, I WENT TO THE KITCHEN AND STILL DID NOT KNOW WHAT TIME OF THE MOON CICLE I WAS IN. A FRIEND CALLED AND I ASKED HER. SHE TOLD ME. SO I HAD HOT CEREAL LIKE IT WAS BREAKFAST. AT LEAST I WAS AWARE ENOUGH NOT TO HAVE COFFEE. BIG DEAL, I DID NOT FALL ASLEEP UNTIL 3:30AM..I DROVE PUMPKIN NUTS. WE WERE WRAPPED UP IN A WARM THROW. UP I GOT, DOWN I GOT. I COULD NOT FIND A SPOT FOR MYSELF TO FALL ASLEEP. YIKES. ANYHOW THIS WEEK AND LAST EVERYTHING I DID WAS WRONG. MY MEMORY IS KINDA SHOT SO I CANT REALLY REPEAT IT ALL. IF IT COMES BACK TO ME I WILL REPORT!!!!! SPEAKING OF BEING COLD, IT WAS 48* THIS MORNING IN SOUTH FLORIDA..MY QUESTION OF THE HOUR IS "THIS IS GLOBAL WARMING"? I MOVED TO FLORIDA TO BE WARM. IT IS LIKE MY PAST IN NEW YORK....LOL. SO FRIENDS, I WILL SEE YA

CHECK THIS OUT!!!!

2008-11-14T18:03:00.000-05:00

SO LETS DISCUSS MY ACTIONS FOR THE PREVIOUS 2 DAYS..THIS IS TUESDAY NIGHT, REALLY WEDNESDAY AT 1:45AM, MY HEALTH ALARM STARTED BEEPING..I REACHED FOR THE LIGHT, PUT IN ON AND FORGOT I LEFT THE THING FROM AROUND MY NECK IN THE BATHROOM. SO I GO AND GET IT. THEN THE PHONE RINGS, I KNEW IT WAS THE 911 OPERATOR."IS EVERYTHING ALRIGHT?" YES I SAY, I DONT KNOW WHY IT WENT OFF. BACK TO BED. AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES I HEARD A CRASH. WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT? PUMPKIN HAS ALREADY CRAWLED UNDER THE BED. I AGAIN GET UP TO SEE WHAT IT WAS. THE CLOCK IN MY KITCHEN FELL OFF THE WALL. SLEEP AGAIN. THE NEXT MORNING (WED) MY CLEANING PEOPLE CAME AT 8:30. I WAS READING IN THE KITCHEN, GETTING READY TO GO TO LAKE WORTH ABOUT 45 MINUTES UP THE COAST. ANY HOW, ONE OF THE LADIES CALLED ME AND WAS YELLING WATER, WATER.. WHAT? MY WASHING MACHINE WAS FULL TO THE TOP AND RUNNING OVER..I DONT KNOW WHEN THAT STARTED, SO WE ALL STARTED TO SOAK IT UP. I CALLED MY SERVICE COMP. AND SHE SAID TO TURN OFF THE MAIN AND SHE WILL SEND A MAN BETWEEN 1-6. I CALL MY MAINTENANCE PEOPLE. OFFICE IS STILL CLOSED. I GET A GIRL AND SAID IT IS AN EMERGENCY. SHE SAID SHE WILL SEND A GUY TO CLOSE IT...GOODY. I SAID GOODBYE TO THE GIRLS AND LEFT THE HOUSE. I KNOW THE ROUTE VERY WELL. ON THIS DAY THEY WERE REPAIRING THE ROAD.(SAWGRASS EXPY) AND I MISSED MY TURN. TOLL $1.00. OK, I KNOW I HAVE TO TURN AROUND. (TOLL $1.00) I ASK THE TOLL TAKER WHICH ROAD TO THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE...ANOTHER $1.00..I FINALLY GOT TO MY FRIENDS HOME. MY FRIEND IS A GENIUS ON COMPUTERS. HE SET THIS ONE UP FOR ME AND TOOK THE STUFF OUT OF THE OLD ONE. (MY GREAT-NIECE IS GETTING IT) SHE IS 4 . LOL
SO I TOOK THEM TO LUNCH AND LEFT THERE AT ABOUT 3PM. I HAD A QUICK DINNER AND COLLAPSED IN MY LOUNGER.. AFTER ABOUT AND HOUR AND A HALF I DECIDED TO SET THIS UP..I HAVE NEVER SEEN SO MANY WIRES FOR A WIRELESS COMPUTER IN MY LIFE..I DID A GREAT JOB. CHECKING IT OUT...MY COMPUTER DOES NOT WANT TO TALK TO MY BROADBAND SYSTEM..I CALL BELL SOUTH/AT&T AND COMCAST. THE GUY CAME THIS AM..I LEFT OUT ONE DAMN LITTLE PLUG....AGHHH. NOW, I AM GOING OFF THIS THING..I HAVE BEEN ON IT ALL DAY. IT IS A VISTA SYSTEM AND IT IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM THE OLD WINDOWS PROGRAM..I GOTTA GET USED TO IT.

THE DAY AFTER THE ELECTION 2008

2008-11-08T17:52:00.000-05:00

THE FIRST PICTURE IS OF A LADY HANDING OUT THE BAGELS ON THE BUS. THE NEXT IS OF THE LIBRARY IN WESTON WHERE WE VOTED, AND THE THIRD IS MY VIEW-SITTING IN THE BACK OF THE BUS. GO KNOW, WE MAY ALL BE SITTING IN THE BACK OF THE BUS SOON!!!!!!!JUST KIDDING.
OK. THE NEXT MORNING WHEN I WOKE AND TRIED TO AMBLE OUT OF BED, I FOUND MY LEGS DID NOT WANT TO DO THAT. I FORCED THEM. I HAD MY LITTLE BOWL OF OATMEAL, COFFEE AND PILLS. JEEZ, I AM STILL TIRED. BACK TO MY LOUNGE CHAIR. FELL ASLEEP. AT 11:30AM I AWOKE. OH, I GOTTA GO GET LUNCH. (I AM A DIABETIC).NEXT THING I KNOW ITS 4:30 IN THE AFTERNOON AND I HAVE NOT EATEN. FORCING MYSELF UP, I COULD NOT NAVIGATE. I REACHED FOR A SUGAR PILL I KEEP IN THE NIGHT TABLE AND START SUCKING. NOT GOOD. I HAVE A TOUGH TIME GETTING UP. I LITERALLY DRAG MYSELF TO THE KITCHEN. TOOK DOWN THE PEANUT BUTTER AND STARTED LAPPING THAT STUFF UP. I WAS SORTA DRUNK. I WAITED A WHILE TO FEEL BETTER. IT DID NOT HAPPEN. I DID NOT TAKE MY COUNT BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE THE STRENGTH. MAYBE IT WAS LIKE A 10.. VERY BAD. ANYHOW I OPENED ONE OF THOSE NEW SOUPS IN MICROWAVEABLE CONTAINERS. LAPPED IT UP. STILL LOUSY. MORE PB. I THINK I ATE ABOUT A THIRD OF THE JAR. I MADE IT BACK TO MY LOUNGE CHAIR. SLEPT SOMEMORE. THE NEXT MORNING I WAS FEELING O.K. NOT GREAT. I HAD TO RUB MY POSTERIA WITH BEN-GAY. STAYED IN AGAIN..SO THOSE ARE THE REASONS I SAY NEVER AGAIN..
AND NOW SEE YA

NEVER AGAIN---LOL

2008-11-07T18:03:00.000-05:00

CHECK OUT THESE PHOTOS..I JUST DONT KNOW WHY THEY ARE DIFFERENT SIZES, BUT THEY ARE HERE..THE FIRST ONE Y'ALL KNOW..THE SECOND ONE IS IN THE LIBRARY, AND SO IS THE THIRD ONE..DUH..THE LAST PICTURE IS HOW LIFE IS.IF YOU LOOK AT THE BIRDS, EGRETS, THEY ALWAYS FLY IN A FLOCK. THERE IS A BLACK ONE THAT FLIES WITH THEM. EITHER THEY DONT KNOW HE IS BLACK BECAUSE THEY CANT TELL OR HE DOES NOT KNOW HE IS BLACK CAUSE HE IS A STUPID BIRD!!! ALL KIDDING ASIDE HE/SHE IS ALWAYS WITH THE GROUP.

THE TITLE SHOULD TELL U THAT I WILL NEVER AGAIN WORK THE POLLS. I WAS THERE AT 5:10AM AND THERE WERE 3 PEOPLE ALREADY WAITING..THE DOORS OPENED AT 7AM AND THERE WAS A LINE ALREADY. I AM NOT GOING TO WRITE A BOOK HERE, SO I WILL SHORTEN THE STORY. IT WAS NON STOP ALL DAY. THE LONGEST THE LINE EVER GOT WAS ONE HOUR 15 MINUTES..THATS PRETTY GOOD. EARLY VOTING WAS NEVER LESS THAN 2 HOURS. MY JOB WAS TO SEAT THE PERSON AFTER THEY GOT THE BALLOT. WE HAD 10 SEATING BOOTHS AND 4 STANDING. IF U KNOW ME IN PERSON, I HAVE A SOMETIMES WARPED SENSE OF HUMOR. EVERYBODY I SEATED WAS TREATED BY ME IN MY OWN NUTTY WAY. EVERYBODY WAS HAPPY. MY OTHER JOB WAS TO BE ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO AIDED THE FOLKS WHO WERE EITHER BLIND OR COULD NOT READ THE BATTLE. I WAS THE MAIN ONE. ONE OF US WAS A DEM AND THE OTHER GOP. I STARTED BY ASKING THEM THEIR CHOICE OF PREZ. THE REST WAS LONG BUT EASY, I FOUND THAT THESE PEOPLE WERE PREPARED TO VOTE. SOME PEOPLE STAYED IN THE BOOTH FOR A HALF HOUR. THEY WERE NOT PREPARED. LOTS OF PEOPLE HAD THEIR BALLOT REJECT AT THE FINAL SPOT. THESE PEOPLE HAD TO GET NEW BALLOTS. I WAS DEAD ON MY FEET WHEN ANOTHER WORKER WHO WAS GIVING OUT THE BALLOTS ASKED ME IF I WANTED TO SWITCH..LOVE THAT GAL. HER JOB WAS TO RIP OFF THE BOTTOM FOR CONTROL AND HAND OUT THE BALLOT. AT LEAST I GOT TO SIT FOR 2-3 HOURS AND WE SWITCHED AGAIN. AT 15 MINUTES TO 7 WE HAD NO MORE PEOPLE WHOOPS A GIRL CAME IN AND VOTED AND LEFT AT ONCE. AT 7PM WE SHOUTED AND LOCKED THE DOORS..THE NEXT DAY, WELL I WILL WRITE ABOUT THAT MAYBE TOMORROW. THATS WHY I CALL IT NEVER AGAIN..SO SEE YA

NEVER AGAIN---LOL

DONT ASK WHAT THAT MEANS CAUSE I REALLY DON'T KNOW. ALL I KNOW IS THAT I HAVE TO BE A THE POLLING CENTER AT 5:30 AND NOT ONE MINUTE LATER, THEN WORK UNTIL EVERYBODY ON LINE VOTES, EVEN IF IT TAKES US TO MIDNIGHT.

EARLY VOTING 2008

2008-10-29T18:05:00.000-05:00

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

HELLO

2008-10-20T12:21:00.000-04:00

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.

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

2008-10-08T17:51:00.000-04:00

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

2008-10-06T18:24:00.001-04:00

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

2008-10-05T17:40:00.000-04:00

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
