AND SO IT GOES ON ©est. June 2005
|
LAZY DAYSO much to do today and don't care to do it. It really is
a lazy day around here. The weather has changed and it
is warm and nice and I think I will just get out and
enjoy the air and not worry about what chores have to be done.
OH I know I will regret it later.. but these days are the kind
to just soak in.
The first frost has come and gone and this is called our
indian summer. I might take a ride out in the country to see
how the trees are turning. It has been a while since I checked
out the scenery. Who knows..
Things could be worse.. you
could be thousands of miles above the earth and not have
a toilet..
WHATEVER YOU DO TODAY.......
![]() glitter-graphics.com IT'S FRIDAY..![]() glitter-graphics.com ATTENTION SHOPPERS..
Have you heard the news???
Wally World will begin selling toys for Christmas already.
The kicker is they will sell some of them cheap.
They will sell the top ten toys for christmas for 10$ each.
They believe that the sales will be way down because of the
economy. The kicker is .. WallyWorld is
hoping it will catch on. IT JUST MAY......
That little stunt caught the attention
of all the other stores. SO in the next ten days
you will be seeing some brand
name items for low low prices, probably in many
top retail stores. Whether this trend will keep
up .. who knows.. I bet some folks will be real happy if
they do keep it up. We could all use the break. ![]() GAS HERE has hit BELOW $3.00 for the first time in ages
2.98 in some places. People believe that if the prices go lower
people will get out more and spend their money...thus helping
the bad economy. I don't know about that.. all I know is the
GAS stations are loaded.. Reporters on TV tell buyers to HOLD
OFF if they don't need it right away because it is still on the DECLINE! AMAZING isn't it!! ![]() This friday finds us with nice weather for the whole weekend.
I have had a little physical setback of sorts, so I will not be doing as
much as I thought I would. It will be my weekend to just enjoy
the warm breeze of the indian summer. It will be good-- because
we make it good. 70 degrees and nearly 80 on Sunday forecast
I am loving that!!!
I heard the saying yesterday.. "campaignitis". YEP that is a correct
word for it. It has been going on for so long now people are just worn
out... HOW about we all take a weekend off and DONT listen to the
stuff!? I intend to!!
HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT DAY!!THURSDAY NOTESHELL HOUSE SAGA CONTINUES..
A woman came from the realty company and
took pictures of the one apartment next door, that
had some flooding during the winter. You can just
guess how it looks in there. I ask her (slyly) if they
were going to rent it out." NO", was her answer "It is
unfit at this time." The ceiling has fallen into the
kitchen from upstairs, leaving a big mess downstairs.
The walls are full of black MOLD! YIKES!! Most people
know that black mold is terribly hard to get rid of and takes
a lot of money. She did not say if the building will be demolished
or not. That leaves two out of three apartments damaged.
No wonder no one has even been shown the place in months.
Standing at the fence.. I could see up close, that the porch
has much damage also where all those violent fights took place.
Several wooden panels are missing on the inside of the porch.
I am not surprised at all. I am just grateful that the lawn has had
some upkeep and the weeds are not high and out of control this
year. There are so many abandoned buildings in this city. So many
houses empty since the decline of our city some years ago.
This building though, is the one really bad one within blocks
of us, and I have a feeling the city will not let it go for long.
Time will tell what they do.. just another saga of HELL HOUSE.

I mentioned yesterday that I was going to a sale on canned
vegetables this week and stock up. The way things are going
right now, all over the globe practically, better to be prepared than
not. I am not yelling the sky is falling, but I like to stock up
when the price is right. I recently visited a space which had
a link to a place called LEHMAN"S that really has some
helpful things that are really interesting. Talk about going back
in the past and using some tried and true things that work.
They sell everything there from A to Z in helping you to survive in
hard times. I saw some items that were actually made by
amish folks. I was interested in SOLAR powered things and
they sure had them. A SOLAR OVEN so you can use it with sunlight
or with electricity. How important that would have been to those in
the hurricane zones. Well I thought it was worth mentioning here..
just in case it might interest some of you.

RED, YELLOW, GREEN
Apparently both candidates are so anxious to get
their views across to the pubic,( in the debates)
that they don't pay
attention at all to those lights that are there to help
keep things going . I just could see the
frustration in the moderator trying to keep them on
point and moving along. At one time, McCain told
Brokaw to just wave his arm. Long answers that sometimes
were not on the subject.. I cannot see a whole lot
of difference between this debate and the other one.
When ask a question, you really should answer it so
the people understand what it is your are saying.
I guess I just remember debates of the past that
were the back and forth kind that really made the
public sit back and take notice. When they were over
you really got a clear grasp of the candidate, and what
he stood for. You knew right away who won and who was
the best person for the job. My own opinion is that I am
just not "getting" that yet. Mark me as still confused.

Rainy here today.. but the weekend looks wonderful with high
70's. I really need some of that to finish up my yard work.
The signal light on our car went out and the first place I thought
of was the same place I went before A Zone and the helpful
people who work there. He not only helped me in the store, but
outside showing me how to change the bulb. NOW it only took
5 minutes tops.. a garage anywhere would have charged me
labor for it. So I tried to pay him something and he wouldn't take it.
I offered him cookies instead.. He perked up saying "chocolate chip
Please!" so guess I will be making cookies soon. Service like that
gets me as a return customer for sure.
GAS is way down to 3.13 here and milk is still 3.49 -3.79..
I noticed that shelves are stocked for a canned good sale
and I will be getting my supplies for the winter months ahead.
You cannot beat 4/1.00 canned foods anywhere. ![]() glitter-graphics.com DEBATE TONIGHTYES I am still awake.. sleep comes hard the past few days..
seems the weekend caught up with me and those cold
winds that blew, and I kind of had a little set back with my
head etc. I am trying to let it run it's course and the
meds to kick in so I will just say..
DID you know there is another debate tonight?? I hadn't heard
when it was until I heard a short announcement
during the news last night. This debate will be a town hall
sort of debate. Tom Brokaw the moderator. Now I hope the
way this country and whole world is in such a mess that
those people can ask the kind of questions that each candidate
can answer and give us a better idea of what the heck
is going on.... AND what the heck they intend to do about it.
I do hope the questions are random and not pre-planned.
I hate it when they do that. McCain is very good at this sort
of venue.. it is what he has been doing for months now.
I am hoping that they both can do something that doesn't bore us
to pieces and not bash each other in the process. We will see..
HOPE YOU ALL ![]() glitter-graphics.com
