AND SO IT GOES ON ©

LAZY DAY

Sat, 11 Oct 2008 14:06:35 GMT

SO 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.. READ HERE

WHATEVER YOU DO TODAY.......

IT'S FRIDAY..

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!!

HELL 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.

CHICKEN LITTLE

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

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 04:05:09 GMT

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.

DEBATE TONIGHT

Tue, 07 Oct 2008 05:21:30 GMT

UNGODLY HOUR but...

YES 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

CORN HARVEST O8

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 03:43:47 GMT

Saturday was a nippy day weather-wise, you would never

know it by the excitment in the air. Whiffs of roasted corn and

deep pit BBQ and hot fresh Carmel corn filled the air. Spirits were

high and from my view point every one was having a pretty darn

good time. I posted some of the 180 pictures I took. There were

so many it was hard to choose.

The city provided the rides on golf carts and horse and wagon.

I took both rides and both were very enjoyable. Having a whole wagon full

of people to talk to and enjoy the trip was an added bonus. The wagons would

stop in the park and let people off and others get on so that the horses could rest.

Me being right next to the driver . I got this view that was well... pretty memorable!

Kids aboard squealed when the

horse raised his tail ...and well, the air was filled with another aroma

I really wasn't ready for. Following that..the horse let out a large TOOT

and we all just howled. I was reminded of the Seinfeld show and that

stinky horse that Kramer had fed beanie weenies to. Even the driver was

laughing. A very memorable wagon ride.

Shocking sounds came from the park. Large gun shots.... our attention

was on the men in the area doing a civil war re-inactment.

I don't think the horses

liked it much. I was glad they didn't use any canons!

This years celebration was smaller than last year. Many vendor spots

were empty, perhaps it was the colder temps.. it didn't stop these

kids from testing the river waters. Brrrrrrr!

They were all being watched closely by authorities

though.

All these kids were signing up for a HOG CALLING

I didn't stick around to see who won, but I am sure

they had fun calling as loud as they could.

This was a demonstration of a old time wood cutting machine .

They trimmed the big log and then planed it into wide pieces of lumber.

Fascinating work to watch.

The island on the right

was the one covered in water before. Now it is just green

and was beautiful to see.

Well that was my day on Saturday.. Glad you could come along

and see the sights.

HOPE YOUR MONDAY IS GREAT!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUE...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUE!!

Yes today is my best friend SUE's

birthday and even though she is

not going to tell you how old she

really is...I .... Will.....

(bet you thought I would tell you huh!)

Nah.. would I do a thing like that to

a friend???

Hope you have a great one SUE!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pretty cold here overnight. in the 30's again. Covered up

the plants I wanted to save. The weather reports that

warmer weather is coming next week so maybe I will

save the tomatoes after all. Saturday we went to the Corn

Festival. I say we, because Sis was off work for the day and

she and my friend also went too. It was a brisk cold day

to start out and the turn- out was not as large as when

the weather was warm last year. Not nearly as many

vendors showed up where they had a space reserved

for them. The ones that did show though, braved a windy

cold day and did very well. I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

I took so many pictures and I am still going over them.

I will post some later today when I get time.

An incident occurred Saturday.. and well it was very very memorable.

Sat, 04 Oct 2008 04:32:12 GMT

These are a few of the pics I took today. I picked up

my camera only to find that the flap that covers the

area where the chip goes in is BROKEN. I guess a

piece of plastic broke off it and now the thing just lays

there. I have to put a piece of tape over it to keep it

shut! DRAT!!! I knew it was too good to be true...when

I dropped it last week. So.. I went out today and shot

some random pics to make sure it still works. SO far

so good .. but darn it I will be looking for one on sale

at the first sign that this one is giving up on me.

It will be in the 30's tonight and I still cannot believe

we have the heat on so early in OCT! Frost warnings

and Freeze warnings are posted for the whole state!

Enjoy your warm weather if you have any.. I wish our

autumn had been longer lasting.

Lots of geese are gathering at the river on their journey south. WInter comes soon.

These look better enlarged. The cloud photos are for Carole.. they do look like

fall or winter clouds to me. Glad they are not bringing snow though, my lawn still

needs mowing. In the background is the steeple of the largest church in town.

That can be seen from just about everywhere in town. Here is a closer

picture of it.

HOPE your weekend

is warm and full of lots of great fall memories.

Hope you all have a great Friday and a good weekend planned.I know it will be

a cold one here. I plan to go to the harvest festival here Saturday, if the weather warms up some.

With my head problems this week I am not prepared to dally very long though.

There are errands to run and some monthly bill paying to do too in the big city,'

so I will venture out and hopefully it won't rain on us as we go.

Gas here is sticking pretty low right now at 3.53 and milk is either 3.49 or 3.79

depending on where you get it. We turned our furnace on at 5 PM last night

and it will run on and off until this cold snap stops. YES it is very early for us

here to have it on. 60 -62 here in the house was just unacceptable with a senior

living here.

##########################################################################

I watched the whole debate last night.. I thought they both did well, Palin acted

sort of rehearsed though in her answers, where Biden seemed to just answer

the questions. He did his practice sesson with Michigan's governor Granholm

over the past day or so. I had to remember that when he ran for President

he did do debating, so he is an old hand at it. Why he needed more

practice I'll never know. There was no reason for anyone to

say that Palin was not prepared or uneducated in her answers. I think the press

made more out of her lack of experience than was necessary. She held her own.

A transcript can be found HERE.

Thu, 02 Oct 2008 03:58:24 GMT

GOt this in my e-mail today... It sums things

up pretty good. I heard on the news that the senate signed

or passed the bail out bill.. and out loud I said

"NOW WHAT??"

Well on to the HOUSE of Representatives and they

have to okay it too. OKAY.. so will they or won't they?

It is a big lesson for all people to watch how they

work on things and what things work and don't work.

Kids should be following this whole thing in the schools

closely. I doubt they would understand any better than

I do though.

Makes you wonder just what the heck is next, what it will

mean for JOE PUBLIC. and his family and the small business

people in this country who are in so much trouble right now.

We wait and see I guess.. Looks like the winter will be a long one!

###########################################################

THE HORNETS ARE GONE!!

Checked the nest and since Monday there is no activity there,

they must have left because of the cold. 40 last night here.

I noticed the hole in the end of the nest was larger

and today it was huge.

I guess if you have over 800 per nest you need a

larger way for them all to exit. I was sure glad I

was not outside when they left. GOOD RIDDANCE!

I will make some calls and see if anyone is interested

in retrieving the nest for study.

Saw the end of the AMERICA'S GOT TALENT show..

so the opera singer salesman,Neal Boyd, won the whole show,

but the results were so close it wasn't funny. I really

liked ELI who played piano and sang similar to ELTON

rest of their lives.

Cleaned and cleaned today all the heat registers and pipes, closed

some storm windows and replaced our glass front door. Getting

ready for the colder temps....BUT.... waiting to see if by doing all this

IT WILL GET WARMER !! SOMETIMES IT DOES!

It will be a long winter starting the furnace so soon in the fall.

NOT good $$$$$$$$$$!!

Not much going on here it was rainy yesterday and pretty cold.. definitetly

sweatshirt weather. Thanks to the benedryl my nose was better but it

made my head stop up some so I am still battling the headache.

The temps in the 40's at night make this ole house pretty cold and drafty.

Had the oven on for awhile making biscuits for dinner last night sure felt good.

Picked my tomatoes regardless that they were not ripe. Hope they will

get ripe indoors. I can hope! We could get frost tomorrow night.. OH I hate

to hear that news..

Watched some of the DWTS tonight and BOY I still cannot believe they

did not vote off that Cloris woman. OH she just makes such a fool of herself

each week. Better people than her are getting the boot. It is just SAD!

If a stranger came up to you on the street and asked you to give them money and

told you that if you did give it.. they would pay you back would you believe them?

Kinda like that in Washington these days... we are EXPECTED to believe that we

will benefit and we will get the money back but WILL WE REALLY??? hmm

They have found the chemical MELAMINE now in other countries where

CHINA shipped contaminated milk products. The latest was in the Netherlands in cookies

that were made in that country. England is reportedly looking into Melamine being

inside chocolates made there too. WHO IS TO SAY THAT THIS MELAMINE PRODUCT

HAS NOT PASSED OVER INTO THE USA NOW??? Children have died from this

chemical that was put in milk. It is just tragic. I hope the USA stays on the ball with

this scary thing.

LOUSY..

Tue, 30 Sep 2008 04:14:26 GMT

I feel pretty lousy today.. I was all day long yesterday.

It might be the weather changing or the pollen or

something in the air. I have had trouble sleeping due to

my allergies and asthma.. I sure hope it leaves soon.

It's the kind of weather that makes your bones ache.. oh yeah

I am that old!!

I have to be well to get my FLU SHOT.. They are already

advertising for them in the stores here. $24.99!! Goodness..

the price goes up every year. I can remember getting one

for $5 one year. They raise the price so that if you do not

have insurance and have to pay-- it comes at a bad time.

Winter time, the bills are more than summer. This year they

say will be bad. Higher oil rates and more sickness.

They want more children this year than ever, to get the

shots. They figure if they get some resistance to the bug

then they won't pass it along. Makes sense..Schools

are where they are passing it to each other. I think the GOVT.

should pay for them. Children are our future. They should

be protecting the whole nation from a potential virus outbreak.

Oh well I am just rambling here.. something else the poor people

can't afford. At least the seniors get a shot free.. ( if they can take it)

###########################################################

With all the bad news on tv lately I prefer to not watch it.

I see it-- but I tune most of it out.. I guess that is what you call it.

Oh sometimes you can't help but know what's going on

and you do listen. Mom doesn't get all of the news of

congress doing this or that.

She prefers to watch her daytime shows

and live in her mind where no one goes to the bathroom

(almost never see a person on a soap go in one.) and

no one smokes anymore, or goes to a grocery store.

They never sit down for a whole meal or have trouble getting

a babysitter for their kids.

People there just happen to give you

a job and or you have someone in your family owning a

business where you can get work. Just like that-- there is no

stress over paying the bills or anything. What a life that would

be.

When they broke into her program yesterday with an update

over the bill not being signed, she just looked at me with

disgust.. for a split second her world was brought back to reality.

I had to think, if we lost tv for good tomorrow, if all those characters

would still be playing their parts in her mind.

The news was grim and tragic over the weekend. A person we

knew is gone and we are all asking why? Lost a job, could not

get another, could not provide for his family. Bad times for

everyone these days. Who knows what thoughts lie inside

someone's mind.. private thoughts that get overwhelming,

and then something snaps. A family now tries to move through

the loss and shock and grief. The community needs to gather

itself and try to make sense of the whole thing and help

all they can. The past few days have been hard on us all.

We shake our heads and think--what could we have done, or

what didn't we see? Sometimes these things just happen. now we

have to deal with it and try to move on into the days ahead

and help all we can. He will be missed.

Here are some pictures I took over the weekend.

(click to enlarge)

We are still pretty green here..that is all to change by next week I am afraid. Colder,

weather will set in soon. Rain is coming too.

HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT DAY!

I saw this graphic and just was taken away to a peaceful place

this morning. It is very cool here today and this computer is

pretty slow too. I am running a scan so maybe that will help.

Nothing much going on here in our neck of the woods. Gas did come

down drastically to 3.56 is the last day or so. That was a big shock!

Milk was up to 3.79!! NOT buying it! Will look for the sales.

People here are in a rush to start their yard cleanups even though

the leaves have not even started to turn yet. Gads... if it goes like

last year, we will be shoveling leaves along with the snow.

The roadside market is out of tomatoes. the season was terrible.

They are only selling squash now and some peppers and cabbages.

Don't remember a summer where we got so few tomatoes here.

My vine is full and still blooming.. now if only the frost will hold

off for a few.

I am so cold this morning I think I will go get myself a cup of

hot chocolate to help me warm up.

How in the world can you pick just one of his movies?

There were 73 in all.. Chances are just most everyone on

the planet has seen one. Here is the whole list!

How can you say that one was my most favorite portrayal?

How can you not remember him with Robert Redford

in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid? OH.. Cool

Hand Luke..The Hustler, I loved him in the movie..

Message in a Bottle with Kevin Costner back in 1998.

I have to smile thinking of him as playing the role of

Kevin's dad. That smile..

those crystal blue eyes.. this world has lost a legend

that is for sure. His whole life is laid before us in his

charitable actions as well as his faith and love of his

family and his profession. My sympathies to his family

especially to Joanne, his wife of 50 years.

THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES PAUL!!!

SATURDAY NOTES

Sat, 27 Sep 2008 13:35:43 GMT

Boy is it foggy out! I can hardly see across the street. In the 40's and

so damp and cold. It is the kind of weather that makes one know

that fall is really coming faster and faster. In just one week

the golden locust trees are losing all their leaves. Yesterday afternoon

it looked like it was snowing they were coming down so rapidly.

Other trees are mostly green here, but there are hints of color here

and there. I have a feeling that things will really happen this next week

quickly. Sis reports that she saw her first wooly worm and it had

black, brown and then black again on it. I am hoping that will

mean some breaks in the winter snows for us here. They have been

pretty accurate in the past.

(google image)

As for the debates last night. I don't feel there was a clear winner.

I prefer to hear the rest of the debates before I decide. I do like to listen

to those experts in "body language" as they know the subtle differences

that are hidden in each candidate. I am sure glad I don't have to decide

with just this meeting. I think maybe the vice-presidential debate will

help decide more. we will see.

As for today I will be getting off to a slow start because of the fog.

I can't mow the yard until it gets drier so I guess the laundry will

take it's place on the schedule. Yesterday I took some pictures out

in the country-side so as I go through them I will post a few later. I

did notice that the fields are so golden now. Harvest time is truly

here. Hope you all have a great day....

TROUBLE. & FRIDAY UPDATE...

Fri, 26 Sep 2008 03:44:23 GMT

After three days I have finally been able to really

access this space properly. I decided to try

resetting it with another background to see if that would

help. Well something has, so far and I can access it. I

got the e-mail from hotmail saying that they were going to

speed up our e mail service.. wonder if that means that everything

else will be messed up? Anyway.. For as long as I can I will

stay here. I miss my spaces home and like it better. IF I cannot

access it you can always

FIND ME HERE. There is no need for a certain e-mail there

to make a comment and I like that very much.

Friday is here already. This week went super fast and was probably one of the nicest weeks of fall type weather we have seen in a long time. Many people are out mowing lawns and tending to their gardens. I pulled a lot of my glory vine up yesterday. Seems the garderner next door got a little bit too close with the weed whacker. Good bye Glories. If that had happened early in the season I would have been very upset. I don’t even think he knew he was getting that close to the fence. So far my tomatoe plants are safe. They are really full of cherry tomatoes. I hope to keep them going until the frost.

Gas went DOWN here to 3.62.. which is the cheapest price we have seen in months around here. All my cans are filled. I got gas at 3.97 and thought it was a bargain.. just goes to show you. Milk is high here now. 3.49 or higher. Takes some shopping about to find a cheaper price! I see where the debates will go on as scheduled and maybe that is a good thing. The crisis as it is, it will serve to see how each candidate is and will handle himself. I look forward to hearing what they have to say.

Hope you all have a great

STOPPING FOR A MOMENT...

Thu, 25 Sep 2008 03:36:08 GMT

Taking a moment to say a prayer for our sick country.

It can't hurt for anyone to stop a few minutes and say a

prayer for those who are trying to save our economy, no matter

how hard or flawed the plan is. In these troubled times

the nation should come together and all stand for the common

goal. Bring our nation back to being strong and prosperous again.

It will take a long time and may be hard on all of us.. so we all should

pray for the best outcome we can.

I saw SUZE ORMAN on Oprah and boy did she scare the

crap out of me today. Talk about being real and telling it

like it is. WOW I am glad I don't have a ton of money in a way

and I sure am not looking forward to where this country is

headed according to her.At least she explains it where

we the public can understand it better. A few days ago I heard Oprah tell her

audience to RUN right out, right away and check on your money

in your banks.. she intended to do that. Well-- I know she was probably

worried about her billions. Seems money that isn't protected is

very vunerable these days with all that has went on. Talk of 1929 and

a depression just as bad was not surprising but other things she talked

about were. The whole show will probably be re-run again, more info

can be found HERE.

UNANSWERED QUESTIONS

Can a man hang suspended from his heels upside down for 60

hours and not have brain or permanent eye damage??

Can an 82 year old woman dance with elegance and ease and keep

up with others much younger than she is??

Our city rented two of those segway scooters for use during the

festival and the upcoming CORN FESTIVAL..

The police chief in trying them out fell off one and broke

both his arms! He will be off work for a long time and may

require corrective surgery on one arm and elbow. Don't those

machines come with manuals or was he just goofing around

when it happend??

HERES LOOKING AT YOU....

Tue, 23 Sep 2008 04:41:29 GMT

DID YOU KNOW there is a new trend in eyeglasses???

SARAH Palin wearing her square, no frame glasses

sent people running to buy them right away. Her frames

were over $200. dollars!!! ( I kid you not. )

There is a new trend of RETRO

eye glasses? Plastic frames and all sizes and colors.

They have been seen on celebs and politicians.

Last week I took mom to the eye dr. and she had to get

new glasses. Well as it turns out she only got the lenses

replaced. GADS.. the new frames are either HIGH priced,

GAWDY or RETRO like the 40's and 50's.

She repeated what I said............

BEEN THERE... DONE THAT!! I could lay my hands on

about 10 styles that I had had 20 to 30 years ago and

even then I really didn't like how they looked on my face.

The lenses came back in 5 days conpared to glasses that

take 2 weeks.

I have worn glasses of some kind since I was 5 years old.

Longer than some of you are OLD!! UGH!!!

Plastic lenses have bad memories for me..

the lenses fall out when the glasses get warm and expand,

the bridge of the nose breaks very easily, When you have thick

lenses, like I do, they are heavy and the lens is much fatter.

You just don't want to have that sort of look. I was made fun

of when I was a kid for those thick thick glasses. I only

got the thinner ones when they became available. I won't let

anyone near my eyes so contacts are out of the picture.

Metal frames and thin lenses are just the ticket for me.

Do you wear glasses and what kind do you prefer??

Are you modern or going RETRO??
