OK..SO HERE'S THE DEAL......


I love my high speed...fast speed, what ever the fuck it's called..I love it..but when the person at AT&T was helping me get it all hooked up and shit, it wouldn't connect with the green wire and the phone wire hooked into the filter jack that goes into the wall jack...got it so far?...so she says, take the green wire(from modem to the jack) and just plug it directly into the wall jack...cool..it works...but...now the phone doesn't work..and if I take the filter jack and do it like it's supposed to so I can use the phone..the fast speed doesn't work..so now what the fuck do I do?...I need my phone..The jack by the kitchen and dining room(where the computer resides) and the one in my bedroom are the only 2 jacks in the apt..So I have been using my mobile phone from bedroom, but I can't hear it ring from the bedroom and if I take it off the thingy(yellow dog technology) and bring it into the living room...the battery runs down on the phone..ok..so I should get a new battery, but that entails a trip to the House of Satan and I'm pretty sure that fat lady with all the kids lives in the parking lot and don't want to run into her fat ass again...So...anyone out there know what the fuck I'm talking about and can help me...please email me..Like I always say..hire the handicapped..we're fun to watch...
I got 2 phone calls from Babs today....with great news..she is doing so much better..no details..but trust me on this..she's doing wonderful...I expect a visit soon...with the weather all iffy here(80 degrees and sunny one day and 38 degrees and rainy the next)
I'm not sure when she will be able to come down for a visit..one of the 2 of us will let you know...
Hmm, what other news do I have for you...Oh, Jennifer totaled her car...on her way to visit her boyfriend Jason and hit a guard rail and down into a ditch..tore up the frame and undercarriage..fucked it up good...so she is looking for a car..I'm trying to get her to look at getting a new Saturn. She's looking at some Monte Carlo...Oh, she didn't get hurt..she always wears her seat belt, thank the Goddess, but (and I told her this too) she is the worse driver I have ever seen..The worse..she has had at least 5 wrecks and she's only 20...Jeez!...I'm 64 and had 2 wrecks..one guy was drunk and drove me off the road and some asshole rear ended me..never had a wreck that was my fault...x my fingers...and knock on wood...
I was going to go pick up my mail yesterday and Annie always follows behind me and follows me back..so we're out there in the parking lot talking to Margaret and all of a sudden Annie starts talking cat shit...Loud cat shit..bird noises, meows,hissing...and was prancing around on her tip toes...Margaret and I looked and there was a dog about the size of a truck in the parking lot and Annie was talking cat trash to him...I'm not sure what she was saying but man was she pissed..We cracked up..she was prancing up to him and turning her back on him and sticking her butt in his face and making these weird bird noises...almost a brppp noise..the dog looked confused and finally trotted off..Then she came over and rubbed all against me..think she told him to fuck off or she would kick his ass and then wanted praise from me..which she got..
she is one very strange cat..she has to smell everything..When I got all the Christmas presents and wrapping paper, etc. she came over and sniffed everything I brought into the apartment..sniffed the scissors, the tape, the paper, the gifts, then went and sniffed the door...and then sniffed me...I don't mean a sniff sniff, I mean she sniffs every square inch of everything...When people park their cars she will go outside and sniff their door, the exhaust pipe, the tires..I have never seen a cat do that before..Dogs yes, but not cats...weird...
I'm pissed Santa Clause came to West last Saturday and I missed him..You could pay $10 to have your picture taken with him and I wanted my picture taken with Santa.Mrs. Santa Claus came with him...does she have a first name...?...I mean his name is Santa but what is her name..it's 2007 and think she deserves to be called something besides Mrs. Santa...that sucks..
I am listening to Christmas Cd's....I have a great one that has Mahalia Jackson, Judy Garland, Perry Como and Gene Autry...my favorite Christmas album..Well, I love Elvis Presley's Blue Christmas Album the best..
Ok..more info...now that I can download music..I need to know how to down load it ..do I need to get some floppys and by the way exactly what is a floppy...BBC, that sounds like it could be in your department..I have a plastic box full of the little square dealies, and a bunch of round ones that have pictures on them..Which one is a floppy?...Is there a floppy department in the store?...Why is it every time I say the word floppy a picture of my second husband pops into my mind?...
When I was checking out the things that got transfered over on my bookmarks i found my old copy of all my posts on wordpress...and started reading them...I found the one about 1982, the year my Daddy died and the ones about the 60's, 70's 80's and 90's...the music, the news my life..that was fun...What was really nice to read was the comments..from people that I don't even have as readers anymore..used to get up to 30 comments a post..where the fuck did all those people go..? So I clicked on some of their blogs and some are still out there..rediscovered Rocky, Paul and some others...and now that I have 'speedy'...I can read twice as many blogs and faster...damn this is fun..I had quit reading a lot of blogs cause it took so fucking long for them to download into my slow ass computer..now it takes seconds...so I will be around a lot more..and will be posting more too...bet that thrills you to death..
Ok...I've run out of shit to say...just like typing away on my new pretty flat screened black beauty...(on speed...so she's a black beauty..some of you will get that and some won't)....
fuckme till I double space

.......USED SHIT STORE.......





I think I have died and gone to heaven..Went to town for some groceries and thought .'what ell, I'll stop in at Caritas and see what they have.'....Holy shit..They have stacks and stacks and stacks of record albums..I would say there are close to 1,000 of them and all for the price of a $1 each or .....$150 for the bunch...I am seriously thinking of going to the bank and getting the money and buying them all...I bought 15 of them..this is what I got..
1. Tea For The Tillerman by Cat Stevens
2. England Dan and John Ford Coley ..Nights are Forever..
3. Question of Balance by Moody Blues
4. Madman Across The Water by Elton John
5. Johnny's Greatest Hits by Johnny Mathis(o.k.so sue me..I like Johnny Mathis)
6. Bette Midler Rush...Broken Blossom
7. Lily Tomlin..And That's the Truth
8. Heavy Sounds with Big Brother and the Holding Co., Blood, Sweat and Tears,Laura Nyro, Taj Mahal, Mike Bloodfield and Al Kooper, Johnny Winter,The Byrds,Chicago and Mongo Santamaria.
9.Delbert McClinton ...The Jealous Kind

12. Crosby, Stills,Nash and Young..So Far..

14. To Lefty From Willie...Willie Nelson
15.The Plastic Ono Band-Live Peace-In Toronto 1969
Damn, I just noticed the Moody Blues Album is empty..will take it back and get something else.
I would have stayed longer and bought more, but the ac was broke and it was 120 in there and was about to pass out from the heat..I asked her if the ac was broken and she said "No, it's on but it's not blowing cold air."..I looked at her and said..."That means it's broken.."
Inky came by yesterday with Devon and I said "oh goody, I'm glad to see you..as your on the tippy top of my shit list."..So I went over all the reasons his ass was in trouble..and told him he lost access to the computer..asked him if he had downloaded anything else besides the im thingy and he swore up and down he didn't..but then last night I was looking through my documents and found two new files that he had downloaded..Don't know if he forgot or was just lying to cover his ass..but I deleted them anyhow..Computer is still running slow..but found a guy in town who will get rid of any virus or zombie and upgrade it for me for around $50.Think I will have him fix all 3 of them and give one each to the girls..Henrietta called today and wants me to work at the library for her tomorrow..woopee..
I have been having so much fun exploring all the new shows on cable..So far I love Rescue Me with Dennis Leary, The Riches,Gene Simmons show(he is a gigantic asshole and not the good kind either),Kyle XY,The Closer,and looking forward to several that are coming up this week..TV are fun...Plus I am mad about the home improvement channel and the cooking channel..and discovery channel is terrific and the history channel..Sigh*..I have to be hauled out by my "whatthefuckred" head to get me from in front
of the tv..
Asshole has discovered my shoulders..when I sit at the computer, he crawls up the chair on to the back and then gets on my shoulder, bites my ears, pulls at my glasses,and attacks my fingers when I type on the keyboard..he is SUCH a pain in the ass..he bites like a dog..and every time someone comes over he attacks them..bites and scratches..little fucker..



Sad news...Mr. Wizard died..he was 89 years old.

Wow..For all you youngin's who don't know who he is..he had a science show on TV back in the 50's..Think he had several but the one I remember is WATCH MR. WIZARD...His real name is Don Herbert.He would do all sorts of neat stuff and most of it was stuff you would have in your own home..it was a great show and all the tv shows that show you hows and whys of science owe their jobs to Mr. Wizard..

Texas is celebrating 2 anniversaries this year
Blue Bell is 100 years old..and so is The Frito Corn Chip and Frito Pies...C.E. "Elmer" Doolin paid $100 for the Frito recipe and the right to market it.His Mama Daisy Dean Doolin is the one that came up with the Frito Pie idea..Goddess bless them both..When I was a kid my lunch every day was the same while I was in school..Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich, moon pie,Dr.Pepper, apple, and a bag of Frito's..It's still my favorite lunch..but since I can't eat any of them anymore, I have made a pact with myself..If I learn I am terminal..I will eat that for lunch every day till I croak..
For all you Yankee's who may not know what a Frito Pie is..it's a bowl filled with chili topped with Frito's, grated cheese and onions.
Best way to eat it is to buy one of the small lunch bag size bags of Frito's open it up and scoop chili into the bag and then top with onions and cheese..it goes good with baseball.
