Think first!

Standard

You’d think that since I am a fairly intelligent creature that I would remember to use Flonase or my herbal nasal spray before I tackle the great outdoors! Well, I didn’t and not only is my brain foggy from PMSing but I am so stuffed up. As soon as I eat something, I’ll do the spray to see if it helps a day later. Even our friend Kathy says she takes Advil before she plays tennis to avoid the aches and pains that will probably settle in. Advil doesn’t like me, so I was popping a Tylenol at 1 am this morning. My body was like ‘hey toots, are you crazy? Manual labor and you do not mix!”

I heard that Terri Schaivo passed away today. Her husband is bringing her up to Bucks County, PA. to her final resting place. It’s beautiful there and we daytrip there once in a while. That’s where Terri and Michael grew up. I hope now that she is gone, that the story will vacant the news. We have to concentrate on getting our troops home. Mom was also saying she worries about her grandchildren being taken care of through social security when they are her age. I think people even my age have to worry! I don’t know what will happen in the next 20 yrs, but it’s not a pleasant thought to know that we may not get the help we deserve.

‘Finger Food’ and Skunks

Standard

The last few days have provided enough ‘gross out’ for everyone concerning the digit found in the chili. We were discussing how it got in the chili in the first place. I think it was planted there by a disgruntled employee who may have been in a gang. Someone else said maybe the woman who had it in her food is a weirdo and planted it to sue Wendy’s. I know how they make the chili-the burger comes from ‘leftover’ patties that were probably cooked too long. Someone who was an employee at the chain years ago ‘enlightened’ us about how it is made.
Tonight I was sorting through my cross stitch stuff (sitting on the floor) looking for another project and it started to get really stinky in here. Brian happen to be sitting next to me in the lounge chair. I was blaming his feet! But then it dawned on it that it was more of a skunky aroma. So we opened the front door and it was like 100 skunks had lifted their butts to our house! We can’t understand why it’s smelling so much in here, all the windows are shut. Maybe it sprayed on one of the basement windows, or I hope it didn’t stumble in the window well outside one of them! I was actually wearing a painter’s mask for a while. Phew!

Natural disaster

Standard

I don’t know what to say except that I am deeply saddened by the earthquake that killed so many people. A 30 foot wave of fast moving water won’t leave anyone standing in it’s path. The poor women and children who couldn’t out run it, the homes that are gone. The people on holiday. Well I could go on. I’m glad that the US is sending some aid mainly water, food and medicine.Life is so unexpected. The little boy Matty I talked about a few months ago on my blog said that every sunrise is a blessing and a gift not to be taken for granted. My motto: take it one day at a time. God bless these nations.
