Two strong personalities will always bang heads, so to speak. But don't even THINK YOU'RE GONNA YAP AT ME ABOUT OPINIONS I'VE VOICED WHEN I'M THE ONE RUNNING THIS PLACE ON A DAILY BASIS AND TRYING TO DEAL WITH THE SHIT ASS WAY IT'S SET UP. They're your dogs but I'm the one that has to feed and baby sit them so they don't get tangled on their leashes because you can't find the time to set them up better!!
And yes, the god-dammed shelf was rearranged so I could reach the items I need to cook THE DAMN SUPPER. I don't care if the pudding has never been on the top shelf. I don't use it every day and I need the frackin spices on the bottom shelf where I CAN REACH THEM.
And yes, I'm banging nails down on the wooden deck. I'm tired of catching my damn foot on them. The deck should have been treated when it was built. IT'S CALLED MAINTENANCE!
And no, I'm not avoiding you two by staying in my room or being on my pc. I just don't frackin care to watch stupid ass wrestling and car racing 5 days a week. AND WE DON'T EVEN WANT TO GO TO THE SUBJECT OF MY WORK SHOP OR SKIPS THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HERE A YEAR AGO. Joel thinks my shed should go up 1st, so he's not clearing the area for Skips. I told Ginny whose shed goes up 1st is ABSOLUTELY MY DECISION. My sheds, my money, my ward. MY DECISION!!@ END OF DISCUSSION!!!

No one is ever, ever going to convince me Texas is a wonderful state, great place to live, yadda yadda..(all those tv commercials)! The dust alone from this crappy, dried up piece of real estate is going to kill me long before my time! Two weeks of untreated asthmatic bronchitis, followed by a 4 hour stint at an urgency clinic, followed by meds that are helping but keeping me awake at night (among other things) and my patience is GONE!But.......ya gotta keep going.
Keep jumping thru hoops with the mental health agency for Skip. "Yes, that is the same thing I wrote 12 years ago about him in that 20 page report that you're reading that I had to rewrite again for you. Did you think things change with mentally handicapped people."
Constant doctor appointments with Ginny's surgeons. "No, they do not want to hear about your fibro pain, they want to know about pain from the surgery site only. Is there any improvement there!
And, last but not least, dealing with a person whose belief in life is that MORE IS ALWAYS BETTER!!. More food,(enough to feed 2 people per plate) more soap and bleach in laundry than clothes, more cat and dog food in dishes (so what if it goes stale or gets wet outside and we have to throw it out).What, more pasta for supper?! Yeah, fool. How far do you think 300 bucks goes for food when two of you eat like starving pigs.

So, Nuffs, there is a cooler spot in Aussie land? Tasmania you say. Hmm, will have to check that out. I was going to do a bit of a rant about politicians in general but I have a sinus headache (wonderful Texas air) and don't need any additional aggravation that discussing those questionable clowns would cause. Enough said!

On a brighter note, one of the Disney channels we get on Direct TV showed a Winnie the Pooh movie last night. What a nice way to end a day with a movie about one of my favorite Disney characters. American Idol is on tonight(Tuesday). American Idol is called a 'reality' show per the internet. I remember when they used to call them 'talent competions'.
I wonder what the other 'reality' shows that are on now, like Top Chef or Hells Kitchen would have been called in the good old days of TV? I know what I call them but we won't go there.

East coast of America got blasted with a major snow storm Sunday and into Monday. I miss NH a lot but I don't miss dealing with the snow. The cold never bothered me, just that nasty white stuff! Snow should be colored with each storm a different color. Would make it more interesting. :D

Muttering # 1: RS updates: While I am enjoying all the updates, it is becoming very apparent that too many updates in one day can sink the boat called RS. They've been having server problems and RS kept crashing during the last two days. Not a good thing if you plan to fight some heavy duty monsters. The web pag says they have corrected this problem.

Rant # 1 Doctors who don't accept Medicare patients (people who have medicare as their health insurance). Medicare is the name of the Federal Health Insurance for people who are on social security because of age (65) or because of a disability. Their main reason is because of the low payments they receive for their services to medicare patients. WAKE UP, DOCS!! The largest section of the american population is the one called "baby boomers". Those people born just after world war 2 and up to 1963, give or take a year or 2. Many are 65 already and many more are fast approaching that age. I understand their need for the high paying patients (private insurance). However, we are the largest spending population in America yet we are being denied medical care. The docs need to take a look at their perceived 'profit margin' and perhaps lower it a bit and medicare needs to raise their payments a bit. If not, the current largest spending population is going to die off quicker than expected!

Hmmm.... Gotta learn how to do the very basics all over again on live journal. All those buttons and what not,very confusing.

On my lj home page it says "you haven't filled out your bio and profile yet". And I'm thinking, "You're right! And I'm not going to either! If I wanted the whole world to know my 'bio', I would have written a book!!"


Well, that's all for the moment.... we'll see what this looks like after I post it. I think e-mails are so much easier.....*sigh*

Dad's damn car is finally done. Got a remote start for it. One button thing and still Dad gets confused on the ignition key position. It only has 2 positions. He shouldn't be driving but it's gonna take the law to take his license away........ I ain't gonna try and tell him he can't drive.

My afternoon runs are busy. Got a difficult boy we have to pick up. He thinks all we have to do is wait for him while he screws around with all kinds of 'things' he has to do in the hallways........... Too bad we're not allowed to kick their butts!!!

Hmmm, the above sounds like two very good rants. Did buy a Disney DVD, "The Fox and the Hound". It's an old classic. Also got Brother Bear II and Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties. Have been watching some very interesting programs on the History Channel. A lot of ancient egypt stuff. Very good stuff. Animal Planet has also had some dinosaur programs on it. My favorite subjects, palentology and archeology....... then i flip over to the travel channel and ta da.......a Disney parks special.... doesn't get much better than that. Sit down with a bag of york peppermint patties, cup of hot tea and relax..........

What I've been doing for the last week:
Yard work, fall cleanup, storm windows, getting dads old car to dealership cuz it died, multiple phone calls to dealship and insurance company about new used car,doing paper work at dealership for new used car, showing dad new features, getting car back to dealership cuz he broke a tail light reflector backing it up, showing dad new features again (5th time at least), arguing with Dad on how to register it, (multiple times),house cleaning, cooking, laundry, grocery shopping, giving rides to people who drove car back to our house, (dad didn't want to drive it),writing check for doctors visits while he was in rehab,(which he doesn't remember), paying my bills, paper work for Skip's day care program, getting my mail and Dad's at post office, calling pharmacy for Dad's prescriptions and picking up........... and a few other things I just do on an everyday basis. That was my week...... from saturday to saturday.
Oh yeah, did go to my 40th high school reunion. Best part of the week. Most of the guys were bald or very gray haired. Most of the girls had gained a lot of weight since I saw them 10 years ago. HAHA. Lot of gray hair there too. All in all, I looked pretty good compared to them. Hehe.

Just a quick note to let peeps know I'm alive. Been hasseling with a new used car for my father for the past 8 days. Wut an enffin pain in the butt. Not the car but the father........ Be back later today to fill everyone in on wuts been happening in my korner of the world. off to do my cleaning gig....

Friday and the weekends here!!!

*Used up all remaining energy with that statement. Falls asleep on bed watching TV*

There's a new "reality" show starting here soon. It's called 'Top Dog'. Hollywood is looking for a 'new dog star'. The trailers show some lady who dyed her poodle pink to match her hair and outfit. (Barfs) They show the producer on the phone saying: "I want tongues wagging." I wonder if he meant on the dogs? Suppose he meant tails? Oh yeah, got another reality winner here for sure.

And on a happy note, I voted 3 times for Lucy Lawless after the duet show on Thursday!

I haven't been on line too much this week. This neck of mine has been giving me problems left and right. Muscles keeps knotting up...... must be my advanced age. lol. Thought I'd throw that in before someone replied that way. *Stares at Ginny. Glances over at Nufmeister and Goober...............

Otherwise, all is well. Same ol, same ol.

Very warm day today (Sunday)and going to be even warmer tomorrow,(Monday)88F. Nufmeister can translate that into centergrade for you overseas folks.

Excuse my stealing your picture, Nufmeister but I really like the little guy.

Went into town today to fill up the gas cans for snow removal machines this winter. Gas was down from $2.99 per gallon to $2.49. Figured get it while the getting is good.

Rant: Those people that are beside you at a stop light who race their engines, play their radios at the highest volume and then roar off and peel rubber when the light changes. Am I supposed to be impressed with their car, the radio and driving ability? NOT!!! And it's not always a teenager doing it either. A lot of them are what I call left over hippies. They're in my age group, wear their hair past their sholders and have loud mufflers on their souped up cars/trucks. And this is what I am supposed to be dating!!? Which is another rant for another day....little boys who never grew up!!

Got a real pain in the neck......no, really. It's a knotted up muscle.Heat and flat on my back seems to help it so that is where I plan to spend my thursday night.

So, Ginny........ don't go spastic if you don't see me until tomorrow (friday) night. Dad has a doctor's appointment Friday morning that I need to take him too. Just a follow up, nothing serious.

So, I plan to put a DVD in the player and just relax with my lil' heating pad. Gods, I love that lil' heating pad. :D

Rant: Why is it that when you're just browsing in a store you get surrounded, like a swat team, by dozens of clerks saying......"May I help you?" But....... if you need some help, like in an appliance store or worst yet, a hardware store,the place is emptier than a ballpark in the winter. It makes you go back outside and check the store open times to make sure you didn't just break in.

I like these:

God gives every bird it's food,
But He does not throw it into it's nest.

Anger is only one letter short of danger.

Beautiful young people are acts of nature,
But beautiful old people are works of art. :D

I can't change your past with all it's heartache and pain, nor the future with it's untold stories.
But I can be there now when you need me to care.

Funnies:
A day without sunshine is like, well, night.

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted, then used against you

don't read beauty magazines, they'll just make you feel ugly...

running mickey is just cuz I like him. That's one of my raves. Love anything disney (and xena of course) I love christmas too...........all those purdy lights.:)

While waiting for Skip's dance to get over, I went to the Mall and stopped in the Disney store. Picked up Brother Bear II, the new disney video. Picked up a few pins, the type you put on hats, clothinhg etc. Just little small ones. LOVE that disney store. Feels like being in one of the parks in Florida .

Gave Dad and Skip haircuts yesterday. Buzzed them both short. They may never have to have haircuts again. haha. Oh yeah, picked up my Winnie the Pooh 2007 calendar too. Me is a happy camper now.

Rants: I hate RS quests. have I mentioned that to any one before? ;)muhaha.
I hate goverment officails who vote themselves pay raises and big ol pension plans and then tell me that social security might go bankrupt in the future. But more on that later. gotta go make a phone call.

Hi all.

Okay, here's my 1st rant.I am really getting sick of all the "reality" shows. Man, they got one for almost every occupation,except maybe cleaning ladies. I can see it now......feather dusters at 10 paces!!

They put people together,in a competition,who probably wouldn't be friends in real life, sit back and watch the fireworks begin. Brings out the worst in everyone, including me as I surf the channels trying to find something entertaining!!

Maybe it makes for great TV but if I want to see that kind of behavior all I have to do is go back to work for Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield (Now called Wellpoint).Or, drive into town and go to the mall. Now that's reality! Actually, I see that kind of behavior from the pre-school kids we transport on the bus in the afternoon. ( point made, mission accomplished)

On a more cheerful note :) I don't have my house cleaning gig to do this morning. The lady I do it for went to her son's camp on Lake Winnipesauke. Probably do a bit of RS'ing today. Gotta take Skip to his dance later on tonight but I'll be back by 9pm. Good Movie on the Sci-Fi channel tonight. 'Sasquatch Mountain'.

okay, this is me now......... after having set this live journal up. it's also me after work is done for the day.

Okay, got one of these live journal things. Nufmeister made me do it. She threatened to visit me!! I had to do it. i was going to make the whole color scheme pink, because I know that is Ausgoobers favorite color. NOT! But then she'd prolly just try and kill me in Runescape's wilderness area. So here it is folks.
I plan to use this space to rant about things I don't like....... Like stupid reality shows, dumb government decisions and........hmmm too many thing to mention.
