That has nothing to do with this post..I just always wanted to say it..I wanted to remind eveyone that if you are awed and amazed by the great pictures that go with my post, the cudo's go to soonerboy..He reads them and then hunts down the perfect picture for it..and yes that is really my little Czech stop that I made the cocolate run to the other night.He found the pictures on the westfest.com web site..all the pictures he puts with my west, texas posts are from west...during westfest the parking lot at czech stop is full to the brim.Each gas pump each space in front and along the sides and in the back..being czech is a big deal in this little town and they celebrate it pretty big..It actually draws less people than it used to.For many years sat and sun combined would bring over 50,000 people to west for the fest..it was just unbelievable...there would be 5-6 grayhound buses to take people from the city hall to the rodeo grounds(where westfest is held)..now we have one..it isnt that it isnt as great as it was..cause it has actually gotten better.more tents, more beer, more food and more crafts for the crafts fair part of the fest..It is that there are so many other things that have come along.Other towns have their festivals, or city activities that keep peple either at home or draw them some place else.Plus people don't drink as much, eat as much and gas is high..there is always the thought too, that well, if we miss it this year, there is always next year.I have been back here over 12 years and have been 2 times since I got back..been there done that..Even when I drank and raised hell I would go to the fest maybe one day just to see the people I hadn't seen since the year before..Then I would go to the Capital bar...which is an old gas station that they tore the pumps down and made into a bar..The front held 3 bar sized pool tables, a domino table with 4 chairs and a gas stove, that was just fucking huge, for heat during the winter time..then the bar which was shapped like an L but laying on its side..little kitchen storage area with walk in coolers for beer. a dance floor the size of a postage stamp, a booth in the back for the dj.(before that we had bands and you couldn't hear for a week when we had one.)in the far right hand corner was a big round table where me and my other drunk friends would conspire with each other to get in trouble..one wall was all mirrors..that was scarry....There was one restroom for women and one for men.There was a back exit and me and my friends would go out there to pee by this huge bush that filled the corner of the building..(when it was busy and couldnt get into bathroom.)we had a roll of toilet paper hanging from the bush.But it really wasent used all that often as we all knew each other so well, the girls would use the mens if the womens were full and vise versa.I had my regular place at the bar that during big bashes they would hang a sign from the back that said "saved for the old broad)..even when I was in my 40's I refered to myself as the old broad..I was very good at playing pool and would play just good enough to win until someone would want to play for money and then I got much better..When I had my 8-ball tattoed on my left (the small one) titty I used to bet guys that I could make the 8-ball on the bust...(breaking the rack) and when I would break and the 8-ball wouldn't go in I would pull down my shirt and say "see, bust...8-ball on the bust)I was drunk one night and said I could make the 8-ball on the break and couldn't figure out why the guy didn't want to pay up when I showed him my 'bust'...ahhhh yes, the good old days.fuck me till I eat sausage
I was going to go make some corn bread(its in the oven) and then go read my book...but realized that soonerboy is back posting and had to go read his posts...the boy ain't right..but that is why we love him...If he doesn't have time to read the crap I write..fineeeeeee...but just as long as he still posts...that is worth the price of admission for this freak ride...ohhhh sonny boy....I am so glad you're home....now put on this apron, and do the dishes..
Ok...............I lied...I didn't even open up my book..I watched the second half of 24....I watched it last night too...I am a schmuck...I also switched back and forth and watched the Golden Globes just to see what the women were wearing...and to see if George Clooney would act like a 9 year old...and he did..showed him sticking a shot glass up his nose..I swear to the Goddess.One of those long ones..and just looked so pleased with himself when he saw the camera got it...goofy kid...I loved some of the thankyou speaches...especially Geena Davis who made some little comment about how a little girl tugged on her skirt and said because of you I want to be president now...and then after everyone ooohed and aaahed, she said that really didn't happen...but it could have ..I could have been out in some field in kansas and there could be some little girl tugging at my dress.it was pretty damn funny...Im just disappointed that no one else came up and said some little girl tugged on my skirt...now THAT would have been funny...Im watching Letterman..who is in major distress as his colts got their ass kicked by the Steelers...bet they fire that kicker...ok, NOW.... I am going to go read my book....see ya'll t'morrow
I received a phone call at almost 8am and it was Jennifer, she has to take her TABC test on line and was going to do it this weekend but her great grandmother on her mother's side of family died and between the viewing and the funeral, she could only do it this am..so bless her heart she is on the computer for 4 hours and then the test just froze up...not the computer..the test..she and I tried everything to get it to work and it just wouldn't upload the rest of the test..so now she has to do it all over again...Then Mojo called and her boyfiends mom is in the hospital and her health is not good at all..But the good news is she went to shelter and got a kitty...he is 8months old and is mostly white with splashes of black.He was brought to the shelter at 2lbs..and had ringworm so bad they had him in quarantine for months..he has been there all this time getting well enough to be adopted..he actually adopted mojo...she was looking at all of the cats and saw him and went out of the room and he went to the glass and was butting his head on the glass at her..she said "he wants me"..and that was it..his name is Bailey..they are in love...I love the voice she uses when she talks to him..all high and squeaky...considering she and I sound exactly alike (we both have very deep voices..kind of monatoneal) when she gets all squeaky..it sounds really weird...we had rain...enough to wet the ground, make the air smell good and then bam, its gone..we could get some more but I really don't think so...Wish you all were here..made a big ole batch of red beans, rice and sausage...ayeahhhhhh...going to make corn bread tonight..I am sooooo excited ..Henrietta gave me the new book by James Patterson..Mary Mary....so far so good..so will be gone for awhile till book is done..small book, so should be done by tomorrow...also picked up Bill Maher's new book NEW RULES for $5 at library book sale...want to make it a pass around book..I will mail it to someone and they must pass the book on...but want to reread it again...so funny....ok..I am out of here...come over for some rice and red beans....jac
I know that is a tad crude, but remember who you're dealing with ...they don't call me tacky jacky for nothing...I took a shower and used my new lavernder shampoo and conditioner, my new body wash that smells flowerely...and dried off really well.Which means I drained the water out of my belly button and dried under my breast twice...slapped on some deodorant, brushed my teeth and put Tabu powder alllllll over my body....put clean night shirt on and clean drawers.I had prepared the bed earlier by changing the sheets, laying down a coat of Tabu powder on the sheets and in the pillow cases, and sprayed everything including me with Tabu parfume...my bedroom smells like a french elevator..now when I squeese my fat ass between the sheets I will be clean and powdered and so will the bed..I will have turned off the tv, the lamp by the bed, and will be all nice and comfy, snuggled in my little bed in my little house in my little town in my big ass state of Texas..I will just start to drift off when I will hear the slamming of the door which means Rocky is home and wants in and to be fed...but I refuse to sweat the small stuff...as I just smell to fucking good...
I received a comment from reg about Dr.Pepper...he said he knew some people in Texas that drank Dr.Pepper hot with lemon, that it sounded gross but it was pretty good...Reg, there are certain things that you shouldn't mess with and DR.PEPPER is one of them. Would you put ketchup on a t-bone steak,(if you do please don't tell me about it)mayonaise on ice cream, broccoli on peach cobbler, peanut butter on a hot dog?NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! And you don't heat up Dr.pepper and put a lemon in it...Now Im not saying there is anything wrong with anyone that would do that to Dr.Pepper, but any one that would do that to Dr.pepper should be horse whippped..Heating up Dr.Pepper and sticking a lemon in it makes me react the same way I reacted when I read about Ozzie Osburn peeing on the Alamo...made me want to kick his ass..some things are sacred...like the Alamo and Dr.Pepper..they are both totally Texas...I have adventually forgiven Ozzie for peeing on the Alamo only because I know he was a drug abusing alcoholic and when they get sober you must try and be understanding of their wrong doings while under the influence..I have asked people to forgive me for the things I did while drunk, so I had to do the same..So the only way I can forgive those people who heat up Dr.Pepper and stick a lemon in it is to pray that they were wacked out of their mind on pcp and Jack Daniels and they promise never to do it again..
There was sooooooooo much good news in the paper(good like, you ain't gonna belive this shit)...that I almost don't know where to start..so will start with the bad news first...Shelly Winters died..she was one of my very favorite actress's..and loved her in your face attitude..Liked that she would fuck and tell...I love that about women...men do it and it's kinda mean, but when women do it..its well...it's cool...I know that makes no sense..but hey, since when did I ever make sense...?(except about chocolate, ice cream and dr.pepper.)I always admired her and when she was on the Roseanne show I thought it was perfect casting and will forever be grateful to Roseanne 
for giving her a place to shine once again...by Shelly..ya done good..ohkay...the news...First there was this great story about a band that made a record 35 years ago and it went no where..the band broke up and scattered to the winds...and now the found albums are selling for over $2,000 on ebay..someone discovered them in Japan, Scandinavia and other corners of Europe..and now they are being asked to play in Japan playing 4-5 dates in May...The band was called Virgin Insanity and album is"Toad Frog & Fish Friends/The Odometer Suite......here is the hit song wrote by Bob Long in Feb.25, 1971...(Sam you should like this)TIME OF SORROWS GONE SOONFACES OF THE PAST COME TO THE WINDOW OF MY MIND SINGING LOW SONG SO SOFT THEY FEEL JUST LIKE A SHADOW THAT I KNEW FROM LONG AGOCHORUS-AWAKE!TIME OF SORROWS GONE SOON,FAR AWAY FROM OUR MINDS SO SING AWAKE!

I don't think it has anything to do with being like the comman man... I just think he is an idiot and has the vocabulary to show it..."I be, like, well, the deal is..'heck', the president of these united states, heck, I am so, well you know...'heck' just as pleased as 'heck' to be your president, 'heck'.."fuck me till he learns a new word.Ok to funny stuff or at least stuff I find funny...tens of thousands of women marched through Milan on Saturday to demand Italy keep its liberal abortion law intact while gays rallied in Rome to push for legal recognition for homosexual couples.Both topics have become issues in Italy's election campaign, and the Roman Catholic Church and ministers in Premier Silvio Berlusconi's conservative government were scathing in denouncing the rallies...HA....HA....HAA...go get em...!!and my favorite...FINNISH PRESIDENT IS CONAN'S PICKHelsinki, Finland-In today's election, Finland"s president finds her traditional support among women and the Social Democratic Party base, but lately to the surprise of many Finns she has gotten an endorsement of a different sort.The redheaded late-night talk show host Conan O'Brien has been promoting President Tarja Halonen's re-election bid as part of a long-running joke about their supposed physical similarities."Why do I support Tarja Halonen? Because she's got the total package: a dynamic personality, a quick mind and , most importantly-my good looks," said the comedian, whose show is broadcast on cable in Finalnd..ahhh, the news and nothing but the news...arentcha glad I keep you up to date on the important shit?
I say it is Barbara's fault for talking about the chocolate and forcing me to make a 1am run to Czech Stop for candy and she say's it is my fault 'cause I got her craving ice cream with my talk about Blue Bell Ice Cream...It's just a vicious circle...of ice cream, chocolate and dr.pepper..After I got home last night I snarfed down the chick-o-stick right off the bat and washed it down with the dr.pepper...then I slowly ate the Rocky Road candy bar..don't know if Rocky Road candy bar is a all over the country candy bar or a southern candy bar..it comes in a red wrapper(oh, there is still some chocolate left on the wrapper in my garbage can by the computer, which is only full of paper so it won't kill me to take it out and lick the chocolate off it...will it....??? nah.)and is milk chocolate coated marshmallow with cashews...very soft and chewy...pulls apart..and was cheap at the price of .79cents..chick sticks ( I always called them chicken legs) are crunchy peanut butter and toasted coconut in a long round stick shape...79cents also...the zero bar and the other dr.pepper I am saving for early morning..yeah, right...I will eat it sometime during the football game..hey, it's 2:30pm I could have it for lunch..I haven't eaten anything all day..so a zero bar for lunch won't hurt....and I can wash it down with the dr.pepper..speaking of dr.pepper..how many of you used to (or still may) take a small bag of redskin peanuts and put them in your coca cola drink...? I put them in dr.pepper during the summer time..but it really taste better if you put in with a coke ...I can remember as a kid going to the store and they would ask you what kind of coke you wanted or what sodiepop do you want Jackiesue.?"..damn I just became 8 years old...and we called cokes...cokecola's..and why is it that you can only eat moon pies(the chocolate ones, not banana ones, ick) with rc cola's...? Ok, so I just ate the last candy bar and drank the last dr.pepper..ahhhh nectar of the gods...fuckme till I drink nehi's..
I came to a screaching stop in the drive way of Czech stop...bounced right out of my little truck...marched right to the cola box and grabbed me 2 long neck Dr.Pepper(almost as good as the small dublin dr.pepper)..waddled right over to the candy isle, looked the goodies over with clear eyes....only slightly trembling with eagerness...snatched up a rocky road candy bar, a zero candy bar and a chicken stick (chick-o-stick)...glided right up to the counter..placed my articles of lust and sin right up there by the register.....looked the cashier right in the eye and said"the marawana they give me for my glocoma sure does give me the munchies."...she didn't blink, didn't say a word..justs said "$5.14 please"...I wrote out my check and just blasted out of them doors...but I could hear them laughing all the way in the parking lot...fuck me till I need chocolate again..
I was happy, sitting at home noshing on my popcorn, drinking my tea, sneaking a peice of cheese every now and then...I was content...not out of sync with the universe...but then.....I checked in on howtogoinsane and see what babs was up to...she mentioned chocolate..I commented on chocolate...I thought about the chocolate..I could actually smell chocolate...but I couldn't taste chocolate and that was the problem..So now here I sit...it's 1:28am and the only thing open is the Czech Stop...where eveyone goes to get their shit after the local grocery stores close at 7pm...Which means if I want chocolate and the Goddess knows I want chocolate now...I have to get dressed...(can leave my slippers on) and get in truck and drive..10 blocks to the Czech Stop...get out...go inside and try to not look like some crazed fat lady out on a choclate run..which is what I am....I would feel less guilty if I was buying beer..A fat lady in West buying beer is less conspicuious than a fat lady buying chocolate....Maybe I could buy something else besides chocolate and dr.pepper...like maybe..a magazine...fuck ...I don't want a damn magazine...I want chocolate..butterfinger maybe..or hersheys bar, zero's..I love zero's...I know, a mallow bar...It's cold outside..I would have to wear a coat..maybe with the coat I won't look so much like a fat woman after chocolate as a bulky lady after chocolate..the more I sit here and think about chocolate the more chocolate I will get when I go in the store...I will go in there... fearlessly.....grab 2, no 3 bottles of dr.pepper and 3, no 4..fuckit...5 bars of chocolate candy..look the little cashier right in the eye and say "no I don't need a sack..I'll eat them right here"....fuck me till I get chocolate
I am so pissed Im left handed...I have email accounts for each one of my many personalities...I have 2 yahoo accounts and did have 2 aol accounts but I told aol to go fuck themselves and kept the aim free email account..They have struck back..maybe not intentionally but they have struck back none the less. I can get emails, but can't reply to them or forward them or compose emails ..or at least 99%of the time i can't...I have received about 17 emails today(mostly from Sooner who has discovered the forward button on his email and it works)and can't reply to say howdy, kiss my ass or what's up?.....can't forward those great emails from Sooner to my friends..can't reply to the great email that Sooner sent me that made me cry..can't email my sweet nephew that as happy as I am to hear from him, I don't plan on sitting around at the computer waiting 28 minutes for an email download about great fishing pictures..Can't tell my yankee girlfriend Lane that I am glad she is enjoying her new boxing classes and remind me not to fuck with her about anything..I can't receive the comments from my blogsite and wouldn't know about that except clance' emailed me and told me..but since I can't reply to it she doesn't know that I received it...I have tried to get in touch with aol/aim tech support but it's like belonging to a secret club and I don't have the password...googled aol/support and got some off the wall joke aol tech site and before I had figured out that it was bogus I had lost it and had told them in this order"go fuck yourself"...and "fuck you, you ignorant assholes." then I realized that the aol logo was a little off and it keep repeating "so what do you want me to do about it"....now I know why there is a 7-day waiting before you can buy a gun in Texas...Well, at least Im not bored any more...fuck me till I ding and say "you've got mail"..
Today is Friday the 13th..my lucky day...I have always felt like Friday the 13th's are my special day...I feel safe, secure and free from bad shit..and there is damn near a full moon so that is a good thing too..I was going to post about what was in the West Newspaper, but to tell you the truth, not a fucking thing happened or is going to happen...So we canceled the rest of the week..fuckit..I am.......................fucking bored........................I know I should do something...but I don't want to..Jamie I guess is happy with the fence and doesn't think it needs any more work...(horay) as I haven't heard from her today. I know she had to go to school till 4pm today and goes to work at 6pm so maybe felt there wasen't enough time to get into anything..Plus her boyfriend Zac is comiing home from jail tomorrow..He was in for probation violation. Didn't pay his child support for his son...(Don't get me started)..Jennifer called and needs to do her health classes (for food handling in resturants) on line and her dad's computer is still croaked..so wanted to know if she could come over and use mine..said no problem...she said it takes four hours...said sooo...come on over..she is going to switch from mccc university to tstc(community college) as she wants to take dental hygenists assistance classes..??? or something... will take her 1 1/2 years...figure she will change her mind by then..or maybe I would change my mind if I was her by then..Rocky has not come home..told you he was pissed..but there is also a female cat in heat and he is probably out banging her box...had put cat food out on the porch last night and there were 3 different cats eating out of it ...I have turned into the CATLADY, and that is enough to make me start drinking again.nah...I finished reading Forever Odd last night..was a little disappointed in it...I just loved Odd Thomas so much and knew it was going to be hard to do a part2 and make it as good..I liked it, but just don't think it was what I was waiting for when I knew he was going to make a part2...reading The Colorado Kid by Stephen King and is is so far a waste of good trees...small book..only in paper back and about 188 pages or so..just boring so far..that may be the cause of my boredom..nothing good to read...will take me about an hour to finish this book and then going to finish 1776..a little history to clean my brain of those bad books...well..going to go read now...I miss sooner....hope he is catching up on his family and friends, some good music, good reading and maybe even a good piece of ass.....fuck me till I speed read..
Jamie came by a lunch time and after we split a subway sandwich, her babies chased rocky when he was leaving the yard..and boy is he pissed...I bet bucks he doesn't come home tonight...We jumped in my little truck and went and started working on the fence..which is actually just hardware cloth up against the house where the dogs have tried to dig their way out..they get under the house then escape out the front...I told her I thought we would need some stakes, different fence staples, and maybe some sacrete..she is still trying to figure out what the hell I was talking about..So we got the fence up and stakes driven in and will get sacrete and pour around the stakes and in places where they have tried to dig under the fence that goes around the yard...She also got some medicated shampoo for the dogs and I helped her pick out some nail clippers for the dogs and she trimmed the nails of the dogs and one of her cats..We got alot done..but sun ran out of light and gandma ran out of gas...left her to drive the stakes in front and we will get the sacrete and large water dish for them tomorrow..Told her in payment for it she could do my laundry for me..I told you I would rather do anything that laundry..even put up a fence..She was so impressed with her old grannie..she said she didn't know anything about hardware stores and where to go or what to get..told her.."hang with me kiddo, I'll take you places you have never been before.."...lumber co's..hardware stores, auto parts, etc..I know them all...like I said..."jackie of all trades..mistress of none."fuck me tiil Im a stud finder
I was reading the comments from my last post and made me think(ah, jeez that is scarry)about not being like other grannies...But if I force myself to think about me as a kid or a teen or a young adult or now as a Grandma...I am still the insanely profane, direct, in your face person I have always been...I just picked up people and added them to my group of family and friends..I am ashamed to admit that having children or grandchildren has not changed me in any way.I am what I have always been....Jackiesue...So I was never like other kids mother and am now not like other kids grandma...if that is a good or a bad thing..well,that is not for me to judge...you would think that maybe I had figured out things and learned stuff along the way...and Iam sure that I did..but I don't think that I have changed all that much...My relatives who have known me the longest assure me that Other than acquiring a larger vocabulary I am basicly the same ....a smart ass...stubborn, hard headed, always looking for the humor in the grimest situation and not willing to change no matter who gets run over in the process.This is me...here I am..get on board..or get the fuck off the train...cause I am going full steam ahead..I am not sure but I bet my kids and grandkids don't always think that is a good thing..I know that my grandkids probably are more excepting of me than the kids...they may roll their eyes when I do something so embarrasing they wish for the earth to open up and swallow them whole..but I also know that they know that no matter what they do or think or say...grandma is right there, cheering them on and willing to do anythng for them...My kids know this too, but I was learning when I was raising them and not sober like I am now with the grandkids..I don't mean to say I was drunk all the time but between the booze, assorted drugs, long hours at work I was not as good a mom as I am a grandma..Maybe I should have started out as a grandma..ha..But for the record...I plan on being the same Jackiesue I was when I was 4 and will be the same Jackiesue when I am 104...fuck me till I age gracefully.....yeah..right
Jamie is having some problems with the fence at her house and until I can get over there tomorrow to help fix it the babies are spending the night with grandma..They are also in the process of tearing up the carpet in their house so they needed a place to stay..Jamie stayed long enough for me to stuff her full of grandma's killer chili and for her to talk to her aunt mo when she called from san francisco..they had a great chat while the dogs went fucking nuts smelling everything in the house..and of course Rocky had to assure them that if they sniffed him he would use cat karate on them and kick their asses..he is not afraid of any ole wussy pit bull ...after Jamie left I was sitting in the big chair watching tv and reading forever odd when china the female who weighs about 55 lbs crawled up in my lap and fell asleep...kilo who weighs 65 lbs..layed down right across my feet..so I was trapped... I finally convienced them that they would be ok if there was at least 1 foot between us...she is pretty nervous and is pacing the floor and resmelling everything...kilo being typical male is right in the middle of my bed sound asleep..think she is waiting for me to go back to the big chair so she can sleep in my lap again...so will sign off and go to the big chair and ease her anxiety...fuck me till I have fleas..
I am really enjoying Forever Odd..I like the way he steers you thru the story...I recommend it highly....Dallas morning news has some good stuff today...like I said I love the litle articles stashed away between ads...like this one:LSD'S DISCOVERER STILL A BELIEVER ON 100TH BIRTHDAY..Geneva...LSD is an unlikely subject for a 100th birthday party. Yet the Swiss chemist who discovered the mind-altering drug and was its first human guinea pig is celebrating his centenary today-in good health and with plans to attend an international seminar on the hallucinogenic."I had wonderful visions," Albert Hofmann said, recalling his first accidental consuption of the drug. Mr. Hofmann, who also had bad experiences with the drug, continues to insist it should be legaized for medical treatment, particarly in psychitric research. The drug earned a bad reputation amid fatalities associated with hallucinations and reports of "flashbacks"-the recurrence of hallucinations..well, let me tell you..back in the late 60's I took a lot of acid..(can't you tell??)well, maybe not a lot..but more trips that I can remember...Some of them were really great and some were pretty weird...but never had any that scared me so bad I didn't want to take it again.But then I was never too bright when it came to drugs..took it and mescaline which WAS scarry. I saw things that really freaked me out taking mescaline...Think that should be kept on the reservations where they know how to take it and handle it..My favorite memory of taking acid naturally is a funny one...I was with a friend and he was babysitting me while I took some orange sunshine...and I was having a great happy time...to pass the time he was putting stamps in a stamp book(remember green stamps)..and I was going to be a good girl and help him...well,they came in sheets and sometimes they were no more than 2 or three in a group...so I am taking the green stamps one at a time and licking them to put on the page(he is doing sheets at a time and had like 10 pages or better already done) and Iam slowly licking each little stamp and very carefully placing in each litle square..very carefully....nice and easy..lick..place stamp....admire work...lick...apply stamp..admire work...after about 2 hours I had finally succeeded in completing one page..both sides...it was a fucking masterpeice( I saw it the next day straight and they were done absolutely perfectly)..and like I was handing him the keys to the Throne...I passed him the page.....waiting for drum roll, applause, confetti, etc......and he grabbed it tossed it in the pile and said "thanks"...I waited and waited for the "oh my god, this is perfect", speech and none came...I burst into tears and jumped off his balcony into the swimming pool...where...I discovered ..."bubbles"...and forgot all about the stamps..took him forever to get my drowning ass out of the pool..was just so beautiful down there..with the lights and the bubbles and the ....flash backs? what flashbacks...???fuck me till I trip again..
I will probably be out of pocket for awhile...I wanted to read all my blogger buddies, comment and post this one before I turn into a book worm...I can hear ole Odd Thomas calling me...."jackiesue....come open my pages...come sniff my ink...feel me...touch me...pin ball wizard..oops..got distracted...gotta go...I have serious work to do...exercising my brain with a little koontz on toast...see you soon...fuck me till I have a bold font...
I was reading my dallas am paper today and in the medical section there was something that I think might be of interest to you suffers of winter blues, depression, etc...was a question, answer to some dr. Basically it was about an article form aarp( dem bastids)..that says low winter levels of vikamin D can contribute to seasonal affective disorder (sad).( I swear I did not make that up)...The experts suggested 1,000 to 2,000 IU's of vitamin D daily and that it helps....so...there..
also alerted people to the fact that if you take coumadin and drink cranberry juice that it will thin your blood and that you should be aware of that...so ..there...your alerted...
be alert..the world needs more lerts..
also for you dog owners..don't know if you spotted this on the news but Diamond dog food which produces country value and professional dog food is warning dog owners that they are recalling these dog foods as they have a toxin in them and are killing dogs by shutting down their livers....as fast as one feeding...so be aware of these products...they will replace the dog food but they can't replace the dog so check your brand of dog food...diamond is the brand jamie feed's her dogs, but she didn't want to drive all the way to waco to get some so got jupe's dog food instead...lucky for her..
and just for shits and giggles..

Before eveyone goes thinking I am super Grandma running over and cleaning the ex-daughter-in-laws's house for free...She is paying me..get to do my laundry over there (which saves me money)and she pays me for cleaning..and do it at my own pace..Normally her refer(frig) isn't that bad, but she had a house keeper and then didn't and she works full time and just hasen't had time to clean..and all the stuff that had to be tossed was from the holidays...The weather has gotten cooler...it is in the mid 40's now..haven't turned the heat on yet as house is still warm from today...my little house holds the heat when it is cold and the cool when it is hot..during the summer time the old pecan tree shades the house and yard...which reminds me..was on computer this morning and watching rocky sunning his fat belly in the yard..and looked up and a squirrel was coming down the tree..he was on other side and didn't see rocky...who definetly saw him...and I swear..I have never seen anything move as fast as old rocky did...he flew thru the air about 5 feet off the ground and missed that squirrel by a (as we say in Texas..) a pussy hair...I think the squirrel almost died of a heart attack...it was squealing and squawking and chattering as it ran back up the tree...rocky was soooooo pissed...wish you could have seen him come bouncing across the yard to the porch...all puffed up and proud of his ownself...I bet that squirrel went home and was going on for hours about his narrow escape from death..pretty funny..well...I am going to finish my book and start on a new one...checked out 1776 and can't wait to get to it..I love American history books...nighty night ya'll....may the goddess bless you.....jackie
Over the weekend Jamie called and said her mother wanted to know if I wanted to do some housekeeping for her and of course I said yes.Can go over and do a little at a time and take all week to do it..So went over today and spent 2 hours cleaning the refrigerator..What a mess....I am not sure but think I cleaned up and killed a cure for several deseases...green gone to red to black..fucking ugly...Had planned on doing more today but wore my ass out doing the frig.All that bending and stooping, is very painful for my back...so will go back tomorrow and do the bath room and the rest of the kitchen.Sitting here thinking I could use a pain pill but have one left and waiting for a really good reason to use it..like a severe back strain from kicking forest gumps ass...you notice how I can work kicking his ass into just about any sentence? I am covered with doggie slobber...Jamie's pit's love their granny...I love those two dogs..they are so smart, sweet and just the total opposite of what pit's are supposed to be like..I really do want to get the fence and gate fixed so I can get one of their babies..but if they have a liter now, will wait till next liter..I am suppposed to go to the kinky drive in Waco tonight, but afraid that the way my back is hurting I won't be able to handle the drive..30 minutes back and forth is really hard on me, under normal circumstances but after the work out I had today don't know if I am up for it...Took 2 asprins...but like putting a bandaid on a finger that has been chopped off.There was weird story in the Dallas paper..but bet Dom posts about it too...A man in Fort Summer, New Mexico was burning leaves and caught a mouse in his house so he tossed it in the fire...(bad bad bad) and the mouse caught on fire and ran back in the house and the house burned down...That will teach him....Think I am going to get the heating pad out, feel like hammered shit...
I was merrily reading David Sedaris's book and he was talking about phobias...I found two that I am certain, because of most of our sleeping habits, will describe us...one or the other..first is:achluoplobic, which is the fear of night fall...the other is: phenogophic, and that is someone who is afraid of day light....made me think of words we could make up to describe certain fears..like dicktaphobia.....The fear of George W. Bush....fuck...now I will be up all damn night thinking of phobias...fuckyaphobia...fear of not being able to say fuck....may the goddess bless you...
I am in the process of reading a book that by page 14 had me laughing out loud and giggling...haven't read all of it but can safely say...read these books.."ME TALK PRETTY ONE DAY", AND "DRESS YOUR FAMILY IN CORDUROY AND DEMIN."I knew nothing about the author til I started reading me talk pretty and realized he is gay...the book is short stories..the first one is hysterical...I laughed so hard....You don't have to be gay to enjoy these boys..Im not gay and think they are great reading...trust me... i spake the truth....may the goddess bless you....Oh on nbc is story on blogging...check it out..
I am going tomorrow to Pappa Rollo's Pizza in Waco(shudder)..For sure my granddaughter is going and hoping for more..Will call up the troops tonight..and tomorrow. Got an email from Mary Duty who with her husband Roland Duty are the owners of the pizza joint...She said they were working on organizing somthing big enough that Kinky will come and also his buddy Willie Nelson..There's a pair to draw to. In case you haven't been following closely...Kink(my nickname for him) is running for Governor of Texas on the Independent ticket.the last person to run and win Governor of Texas on the independent ticket was Sam Houston....quite a stretch back..I am almost to the point that I want anyone to win except good hair Perry..But since the granny intered on the independent ticket I also don't want her to win..she can't make up her mind what she is...first democrat, then republican now independent..good hair Perry also started out as a democrat and went republican...going for the bucks I guess...I hope Kinky wins, which will be hard as he doesn't have (as we say in texas) a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of ...Even if you don't live in Texas and can't vote for my "dressed in black, hat and all,cigar chomping potty mouthed candidate"..you must check out his web site and see what all the fuss is about...he says things like" may what ever God you worship, bless you.." gotta love him...I will give full up date tomorrow after I return from sincity.Waco...(all them Baptist's)Kinky Friedman.comsome times I just feel sorry for folks that don't live in Texas and get to experience this shit for your ownself...
