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

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

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

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

HERE I AM, SITTING IN MY DEN/GUEST BEDROOM/HOTTEST ROOM IN THE HOUSE/PUMPKINS HIDE-OUT.
NEXT TO ME IS MY D.I.L. SHE IS READING OVER MY SHOULDER, SO I HAVE TO WRITE ONLY NICE THINGS..MY SON JUST CAME BACK FROM THE KITCHEN WITH A MOUTH FULL OF CHOCOLATE. 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

WOULD U BELIEVE???

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

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

BROTHER'S BIRTHDAY PARTY

I DONT UNDERSTAND CERTAIN THINGS, LIKE WHEN I UPLOADED THAT PICTURE, WHERE THE HECK IS THE REST OF IT??

SO, ANYHOW, THATS ME, MY GREAT NIECE, MY NIECE AND MY BROTHER. WE GIRLS TOOK HIM TO A WONDERFUL OLD (60YRS) RESTAURANT IN SOUTH FLORIDA. A LANDMARK. NOT CHEAP, BUT THEY OFFER AN EARLY BIRD (A FLORIDA THING!), ANY ITEM ON THE REGULAR MENU AND U GET SOUP,SALAD AND DESSERT INCLUDED.GREAT DEAL..ON THE WAY THERE, MY BROTHER DOES NOT KNOW MY AREA, I WAS THE GUIDE. 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
