OH, THAT PUMPKIN

STHAT LITTLE OLD PUMPKIN OF MINE IS GROWING UP. ALL OF A SUDDEN SHE DEMANDS TO BE LET OUT OF THE APARTMENT WHEN IT IS DARK OUTSIDE. 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. LOL...SO SEND IT TO ME. I WILL GIVE MY ADDRESS TO EVERYBODY WHO IS GAME...ROFLMAO....SEE YA

UP TO NO GOOD

YEP, I AM UP TO NO GOOD. STORY OF MY LIFE. I MADE UP MY MIND TO GET RID OF AOL AS THEY GOT RID OF ME..SO I TRIED MY OLD NAME ON GMAIL. IT WAS A TOTAL SCREW UP. SO I TRIED A NEW NAME THERE. AGAIN, SCREWED ME UP. THEY DID NOT WANT TO RECOGNIZE ME. SO I WENT WITH A NEW NAME ON A NEW SITE. HOTMAIL...I TOOK ME THREE DAYS TO FIND IT..I SWEAR I KNOW WHAT I AM DOING, BUT THEY SURE ARE MAKING ME FEEL STUPID. SO THATS THE STORY. I AM READING A NEW BOOK. LOL IT IS CALLED VISTA FOR DUMMIES. HEY, THEY KNOW ME..LOL. DO ANY OF U HAVE THE VISTA PROGRAM? HOW ARE U DOING ON IT. DOES IT TAKE A LONG TIME TO REALLY GET INTO IT? JUST MAYBE, I AM GETTING TOO OLD FOR NEW THINGS. I USED TO MAKE FUN OF MY MOTHER WHEN SHE DID'NT UNDERSTAND THINGS LIKE CELL PHONES, ETC..

MARIE ANTONETTE AWARD

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. I DEPEND ON JANIE AND A FEW OTHERS FOR THE HELP.LOL.

TODAY, DECEMBER 1, 2008

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

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?????

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

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!!!!

WELCOME. WELCOME TO MY NEW COMPUTER. SHE (NO, NOT A HE) HAS NOT GOTTEN A NAME YET. I AM STILL THINKING THAT ONE OVER...
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. IT EVEN HAS A WEB-CAM..THAT MEANS I CANNOT PLAY WITH IT NAKED!!!!!
SEE YA

THIS IS SYDNEY. HE IS THE LITTLE BABY OF MY FRIENDS DAUGHTER AND SON-IN-LAW . HE IS A GENTLE LOVABLE DOG. IF U GET TOO CLOSE AND HER MASTER IS NOT NEAR SHE GROWL VERY LOW UNDER HER BREATH. I GOT THE IDEA. I AM GOING TO SEE HER TOMORROW.

I AM BRINGING MY NEW COMPUTER TO MY FRIEND WHO WILL TAKE ALL THE STUFF IN HERE AND PUT IT IN THERE..DID U GET THAT???? ALSO GET RID OF THE JUNK I HAVE. SOMETIMES WHEN I SURF AROUND I SEE SUCH JUNK. SOME OF IT, I DONT REALLY KNOW HOW TO GET RID OF..DUH

THIS AFTERNOON I AM GOING WITH A FRIEND TO SEE MY NEIGHBOR AND FRIEND IN THE HOSPITAL. SHE HAS LOST 1 KIDNEY AND IS LOSING THE OTHER ONE. SHE WILL NOT DO THE DIALYSIS THING. SHE IS IN BECAUSE ONE OF HER TOES IS TURNING BLACK. NOW IT IS A VASCULAR PROBLEM. POOR THING. SHE IS AN UP AND GOING GAL WHO NEVER SITS STILL. THEY WILL HAVE A TOUGH TIME WITH THIS PROBLEM CAUSE SHE CANNOT TOLERATE THE DYE IN HER BODY...WE ARE GOING TO CHEER HER UP..SEE YA

THE DAY AFTER THE ELECTION 2008

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

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

EARLY VOTING 2008 PAGE 2

SO HERE I GO AGAIN..THE FIRST PIX IS THE BUS.THE NEXT ON THE RIGHT ARE THE PEOPLE WAITING ON THE 2 HOUR LINE. THATS THE INSIDE OF THE LIBRARY. PEOPLE SNAKING AROUND PLAYING MUSICAL CHAIRS. THE LADY ON THE LEFT IS DEBBIE WASSERMAN-SCHULTZ. SHE IS OUR SENATE REP. I HAVE LOADS OF MORE PICTURES BUT I WILL SAVE Y'ALL BY NOT POSTING THEM. THIS IS EASIER THAN THAT OLD AOL WAY..LOL TOO BAD, THEY ARE GOING TO MISS US..THIS WEEKEND I HAVE TO HIT THE BOOKS AND STUDY FOR MY ROLE AT THE ELECTION CENTER IN MY COMPLEX. I AM TO BE AN INSPECTOR. 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. I DONT EVEN GET OVERTIME..LOL...ONE FLAT RATE. I WILL TALK TO THE WINNER OF THIS YEARS PRESIDENTAL VOTE AND ASK FOR A RAISE.....ROFLMAO..SEE YA

EARLY VOTING 2008

THIS IS THE WESTON FLORIDA LIBRARY. I HAVE POSTED JUST TWO PIX. THE LADY IN THE BLACK SHIRT IS NAN RICH, SENATOR OF FLORIDA WHO CAME TO SEE THE BUS BUSINESS. I HAVE TO MAKE THEM SMALLER ON THE NEXT BLOG. SEE YA SOON

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
