Ya Like the Picture??

Hi Folks,

A Friend of mine sent me that little ol' picture that I have posted at the top. Told me that some people want to know what ol' Mean Kitty looks like.

Hmmmm I kinda like it. Strutting down the street, with a "take no prisoners" attitude.

(just whistle that opening theme from "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly")

Anyway, I've had a lot of people tell me that when they see me at first they think "ahhh she's just a pussycat"----and then "dum, de, dum, de dum dum dum dum" They say I even squint like Clint Eastwood---well that's because I'm near sighted I have to squint.

My Hunka, Hunka Burnin' love wants to join up with a Cowboy action shooting group, I told him go ahead, hell we've got enough guns for it. I've been to several of their "Shoots" and I like the competition and the fact that they dress like the old west, men and women. A number of them are involved in Gunfight old west Re-enactors that talk about the old west and gun safety.

There's one old boy he's got this Australian cattle dog, rescued it from a freeway, out in the middle of no where, dog hadn't eaten in days the man told me and was just about pegged out, he comes along with his Missus, sees the dog on the side of the road trying to get to somewhere.
So he pulls up, the dog sees him but doesn't know what to do, so the Missus comes out with a bit of hot dog and says come on baby Mama will take care of you.

Well hunger and thirst will overcome caution and the dog came to them so they put him into their camper and while the man drove she gave some water and a little bit of food to the dog so it wouldn't get sick, then the poor thing fell asleep. So when they got home they gave it a little more water and food and let the poor thing fall asleep again in their living room while they watched T.V. They gave him a few days to recover then took the dog to their old vet.

The vet said that the Dog was in good shape but had been starved, and foot sore, So with a good flea and tick bath, vitamins, medicine for the paws, good food and good lovin' the dog recovered and is very devoted to the couple, had the dog now for two years and they won't go no where with out the dog.

"Had to change some of our routines on account of the dog and hot days" They do their shopping in the evening during the hot weather, or one of them goes into the store and the other stays with the dog, some of the places they go to will allow them to bring the dog in. When it's winter or rainy there's no problem.

And with their trailer they don't have to worry about where to stay for "Shoots" or traveling.

I asked them what's the dogs' name "Freeway" they said---well that's as good as any. They have no idea how that dog got there, but they've never regretted rescuing him. They got him use to the shoots and noises, and make him comfortable when they are competing----set up their gun cart, with shade and a comfortable rug for the dog to lie down on. Dog knows the drill.

So Hunka, Hunka is going to join a local group since we are already members of SASS (Signle Action Shooting Society) and I'll be his cheerleader. I can shoot but with this bum knee I can't compete very well.

Oh well can't do everything.

Anyway don't you think that's a cute picture---Dang if it doesn't look like me---or at least my attitude.

Elevators, and sunshine and birdies

O.K. Folks,

Elevator update, Thank GOD (and Charlton Heston) the elevator people got it fixed!!!!

I was the first to use it, and rejoiced when it took me to the second floor. And a lot of people who are in wheelchairs are rejoicing too.

So I've been busy (as fast as my bum knee will allow) to get the rest of my work cleared away.

The sun is shining and I'm having fun watching the birds be very busy, I've noticed butterflys, and am hearing the humming birds with the funny little squeeky sounds.

On a nice Saturday or Sunday afternoon life feels good. I just wish I didn't have to sit around doing bills and housework, but life has a way of sometimes taking all the fun out of things.

But while I have a few minutes I'm going to enjoy it.

And by the way---I'm serious about having Charlton Heston being put up for Sainthood---St. Charlton protector of gun rights, moving mountains, and the inalienable rights of the common person.

"Greenies", Wally World, the house hold budget and Charlton Heston

Well Folks,

It’s been a little while, and I don’t know what to complain or rant about.

My knee is slowly getting better but I’m just sick and tired of being sick and tired, the dang thing is slowing me down and now I’ve come down with a cold and I don’t need that.

I’ve been going over the house hold budget and it don’t look too good, what with utilities going up, gas prices and food prices going up, it’s getting harder and harder to just live.

And now Medi-care is saying that old folks are going to have to pay more in their co-payments for prescriptions. What is wrong with this picture??

And my Hunka, Hunka Burnin’ Love sometimes just doesn’t see the prices. Like last week we went to Wally World (wal-mart to some) to see about getting a converter box for the T.V. (cause Digital is coming in Feb of 09) Well at first that converter box don’t work, but does my Hunka take it back ---no---he thinks we need an antenna---Dang thing costs at Wally World $30.00.

O.K. so we put it on and it doesn’t work, so Hunka goes back to the directions (when all else fails read the directions) on the converter box---now it works---only problem we cannot record on the VCR ***sigh***

So we are now stuck with an antenna we don’t need, so Hunak says to me “well we’ll sell it at the yard sale” Hold IT!!! We pay 30 bucks for an antenna that we don’t need and he says sell it at our yard sale we’re we’ll be lucky to get 5 bucks!!!??? So I says to him, “we will spend 2.00 on gas and take it back to Wally World where I’ll get full credit plus any tax that’s owed on it.”

But Hunka says to me “Why??” and I says “It cost us 30 bucks to find out we didn’t need it!!!!”-----“oh” he says---then I calm down a bit and asks him “Didn’t you read the price sticker on it?----“no”----DUH!!!!

Of course any place else would have been $50 bucks, but 30 or 50 I’m getting full credit for it.

So’s I sits him down and says to him “Sweets, we need to do a really serious talk about our budget finances---and it ain’t pretty.”

Now he gets the picture, frame and all, so he says to me---“As much as you don’t like Wally World, it looks like we are going to be forced to shop there for a lot of stuff.” And he was right, I told him we’ll take a shopping list of things we usually get with the prices that we usually pay for and compare it to Wally World, and if there is a big savings we’ll get our staple supplies from them.

And that is what our economy is doing to us, I can buy for $8.00 the same blouse at Wally World that would cost $15.00 at Mervyns and it fits just as well.

So what is wrong with this picture??? Now we have no choice, we have to go where we can get the same goods for less, no wonder small businesses are going out of business, no wonder larger corporations are floundering, no wonder retailers are worried, no wonder people are put out of work.

So what is the solution, we have resources and oil here in the U.S. of A. but the “Greenies” won’t let us develop it, we’ve given our jobs to other countries, we sell our food to other countries, we send our expensive medicines to other countries that sell it cheaper than we do.

And we’ve undermined the US Dollar, because we’ve become a credit nation. People are losing their homes, rents have increased by 14% and the profit makers have this nation by the collective “balls” and they are twisting it.

And is Clinton or Obama talking about what it will take to improve our economy and bring jobs back here, lower the costs of our prescription premiums, hold pharmaceutical companies accountable, get the Greenies off our backs so we can use our oil and lower prices??? HELL NO!!!

All they do is snipe at each other, “I’m better than you are, nyaaa, nyaaa” Get real people, talk about real issues, forget about the war for now and focus on home and the real issues, the war will sort its self out. We all know we are going to be stuck there for the next 5 years at least, so focus on improving our home land and getting us strong again.

And stay awake on China, and other countries that will do an economic invasion to destroy our economic strength, and go ahead and declare that Islamic extremists are terrorists to all free nations and that Islam as a religion should be looked at with extreme care as a cult, a very dangerous cult.

WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!! WAKE UP!!!! YOU ARE GIVING OUR NATION AWAY AND ENSLAVING US!!!

PUT CHARLTON HESTON UP FOR SAINTHOOD----LET MY PEOPLE GO!!!

FREE THEM FROM THE TERROISTS OF “GREENIES”, PC BYCLISTS, AND PETA!!!

AND GET OUR NATION STRONG AGAIN AND NOT WEAK LIKE BRITIAN WITH EVERYONE BEING SO DAMN P.C.

WHERE IS CHARLTON HESTON TO LEAD US OUT OF THIS SLAVERY???!!!

Feeling older than dirt~~~

Man, there is nothing like an injury to make you feel older than dirt. I mean OLDER THAN DIRT!!!

Last Sunday just to be accomadating to my brother Bubba, I move 12 trunks of stuff that I inherited plus some furniture that was stored in his basement---(I wasn't left stocks, bonds, jewerly or money, I was left stuff!) so I had I been doing over the years is going through the stuff and selling off what I didn't want.

Well Bubba comes and asks me nicely "Hey Sis' I gotta problem, I have to do some serious foundation work, replace the water and gas pipes and fix the floor heater---had to refinace to do this, but before I have the workmen come in to do the work I've got to have you move your stuff, as I'm worried it may get damaged or worse destroyed and I know that would make you unhappy and I don't want you unhappy."

He's got that right, so we make arrangements to move the stuff into my shed as I finally have some room... oh was that a job and a half, we all came out aching, needing asprine and a hot soak.

OOO but my body decides to do something even worse, my left knee is aching something fierce, I mean I can't move it, stand on it, bend it, straighten it, like can't do nothing---so I go to the Doc's and that sawbones says "Well you messed up the muscles and tendons around that knee, good thing there's no water on the knee or I'd have to drain it, no fun. You just take these pain pills, put cold and heat on the knee, try and strech the tendons, and you'll be fine in 6 weeks."

6 WEEKS!!! Is he nuts???!!! I gotta work!!! I can't take no 6 weeks off like those fancy, schmancy football/baseball/basketball players---I gotta work!!! And those pain pills aren't worth a darn, just make me sleepy, so I take extra strength tydonol during the day and the pain pill at night.

My hunka, hunka burnin' love helps me get showered, dressed and undressed for work and helps me up and down the stairs and into the car. Thank God at work they are understanding and help out---then disaster---we have a power outtage then after two minutes the power comes on, then goes out again, then after a minute comes on again, but what happens is the power surge burns out the motor on the elevator at work and I have no way of going up stairs to do some assignments or even getting to the staff room for Lunch!!!

And these elevator idiots have to order the motor to be replaced and it's been a week! No Way was I going to climb a full flight of stairs---I'm having a hard enough time dealing with the stairs at my house. So our janitor (he's a nice guy) he's got a spare small microwave, and brings it to work, it's not to hard for me to go to his work office, so I heat my lunch and coffee there (with his permission) and even he is cussing out the elevator idiots for taking their sweet time.

But I notice that with each day, the pain is becoming more locolized and maybe I might be able to walk better by the end of next week and maybe by then the elevator is working as well---I hope.

But Dang!! This pain does make me feel older than dirt!
