Man! They must have really hated that mare

Dazzlingdreamberry 05-18-2016 05:00 AM

good day, mates! I'm on my microscopic phone with a great qwerty keyboard, but dinky screen. I can't see what I'm typing. Hope I don't get distracted. Mr. X has gone to bed. It's 77* in here and I'm hot as hell. It's stuffy and the fan is no help. Got to bring out the floor fan. A lot happened. Mr. X was riding his bike and got stopped by a cop. He said Mr. X had been reported burglaring a house on yay street. We live on yay street. Mr. X said he was silently guffawing. Then gf who lives in that sketchy town? She had 2 storage units. Well thieves cut hole in fence and looted a whole section. They took a lot of stuff. And she had a big container of change! Then this beautiful golden retriever couple doors down will be put down soon. Owner will be pulling her around in a wagon for a goodbye parade. He's having a farewell to her sun. Said nabes, friends, admirers could drop by. I just couldn't. When Mr. X and I used to walk, wed always stop there to pet her. Oh, she has cancer. Sigh. Had lab test finally. Waiting for docs report. I can't tell what all those numbers mean. Had lunch with Mr. Go yest. I tried to get the most healthy item. A chinese salad. Brought my own chopsticks. Seeing Mr. Go tomorrow. At a mexican joint. So been googling the town I could move to. It's sounding rather ghetto to me. Guys are going around snatching gold chains off women. Well think I'll have some ice water. Izzy and diana, your weather sounds dreamy compared to this area. Izzy, hope you all are getting better from the flu. Found a zimbabwe coin. Will give it to Mr. Go. Where I got that, I'll never know. Mr. W, you're not going to canada anymore? I found some canadian coins too. Have good nite, folks!

Mr. Wrong 05-18-2016 08:28 AM

Nope. Not going to Canada anymore. At least not while trucking. Didn't renew my passport. Oopsy? Canada's roads are such that the speed limit changes every few miles due either towns or because Canadian civil engineers really hate building bridges and so you have to endure curve after curve. And then there is this consignee that takes 5 to 7 hours to unload a tank. All other unloads take 2 hours or less. It's like Lassonde uses a household vacuum cleaner to pump out the product.

While heading back to the good ole US of A, I stopped for lunch alongside this road and noticed a Historical Marker there. The Hysterical Marker told the story about a tree a few meters ahead that stood alongside this road as you approached the town ahead. Apparently, this was a tree beloved by the local townsfolk insofar as it was propped up by rods and wires after the tree died in the 1990s after being blown over.

So beloved was this tree that the locals got their city government involved, their provincial government (Alberta), and the federal government (Ottawa) involved for funding and what not. This tree isn't big or very tall and has four rods placed in the rocks the tree sits on to keep it in place. In America, two local handymen could do the job of securing this tree to rocks with a few hundred dollars for funding. No big deal. In Canada, it takes a village and then some.

Ever hear the expression Au, Canada? Pronounced like Oh, Canada, it's a French Canadian and regular Canadian phrase giving reverence to Canada. Anywhom, while cruising through British Columbia, I passed by this sign made by a homeowner that read, "Owe Canada". This must be how Canadians protest high taxes.

As for me, it's going to be No Canada. Thanks for reading.

Dazzlingdreamberry 05-19-2016 05:04 AM

it was a wretchedly hot day in my faire town. My head has imploded from the heat. Do I have a 2.5 day headache to look forward to? Had lunch with Mr. Go. I had shrimp quesadilla, he had burrito. Gave him the zimbabwe coin. He was surprised to see it. Told me the country now uses american currancy. So the coin can only be in a collection. I told him that was too bad. Part of the charm in traveling is using unfamiliar currency. Mr. W, canada sounds like it likes to micromanage things? Like condos with home association rules? I know zip about canada, except on ordering stuff, it always cost more to go to canada. Oh and canadian ginger ale. And mounties.

paragraph, girl. Ok, yes, will do. I am enthralled now with donald gould, a homeless guy in florida. He was discovered playing piano on a public street. Now he will be recording an album, received 40k from go fund, plus reunited with son. He looked so much like you would expect a street person to look like, but he has musical talent. I hope he beats his drug n alcohol addiction.

oh, in nabe news, this woman is buying a teeny tiny home. About the size of a boat. She's looking for a place to park it. She mentions the tiny house movement. Yes I've glanced at it on tv. Not for me. I need some breathing room. Tho I like staying in motels. Where you park your car outside. Don't like the froufrouness of hotel living.

that's it for now. Hope it's cool where you are!

Inzanebraned 05-19-2016 08:34 AM

I've seen those tiny homes...some seem quite spacious for 1 tiny person! Lol!
I have already lived in a tiny home...its called a motorhome! It wasn't too bad...but there really wasn't much need to move around much during that time...no running water to wash dishes or clothes...and Sarah doesn't get up and walk around to make the usable space smaller.
I could probably live in a tiny home if it were just Sarah and me...but add messy BF or super-active Hope and I'd be duct taping myself to the ceiling! Lol!

I'll have to google up that homeless piano player...sounds like a really inspirational story! I hope he does well and turns his life around!

Mr.Wrong, I always love reading about your adventures...and the misadventures, too!
I have never travelled to Canada...though we used the canadian coins that came into my hometown just like American money when I was a kid.....
Oh...and the one time my grandma was guided to where the Indian land that she had interest in was on the Blackfeet reservation in Montana and I remember the guy saying that "If you look as far as the eye can see to the north, you can see Canada." That was the closest I have ever been to Canada.

It has been chilly, here...and moist! Very moist!
Once the temperature stays warmer I imagine the hillsides will explode with color and foliage!
I am sooo looking forward to that!
I'm getting a little cabin-crazy...too chilly to go out, no car to drive,...and lately everybody is either running at the nose or coughing up a lung!
I really need a day off....like THAT 's gonna happen before I die!! I never have days off...only slightly less productive days.
....And there is no weekly paycheck! ...how can I collect overtime if I never get a paycheck?!?
Mine is a job that one can't even be fired from! Lol!

Sarah still has the raggedy cough...
Hope has that cough, too...but she is smart enough to run and spit the plegm she coughs up into the trash!
She even ran to the trash when the coughing turned to gagging and puked!
Sarah just lets the crap sit in her throat and sounds like a wild animal breathing!
Hope is excited to go with Sarah to her neurology appointment tomorrow...She likes doctor visits...even her own! Lol!

So...after a long and rather trying day, I must retire and welcome some snooze-time...for tomorrow promises to be longer and even more trying.
Happy second half of the week, All! [heart]!

Dazzlingdreamberry 05-21-2016 12:06 AM

wild n windy in my faire town. I was able to wear my beloved denim jac. Went to macs today for a big mac n joe. Bunch of guys on lap tops. Oh oh Mr. X talking to me. Hope I can still type. So today heard from one of my lunch pals. Well call him biker guy. He rides a motorcycle. Well he has diabetes too, but he got up to taking insulin. Hadn't heard from him for exactly 5 mos. He said he had a mini stroke back in dec! That's a frequent occurrence with diabetes. So now he's on the mend hopefully. He wants to meet for salad now. So gfs bday is next week. I can't get her stuff because she still isn't in a new apt. So maybe I'll take her to lunch and give her a check. She's never seen my disney princess checks. So other day I was cleaning inside a kitchen cabinet. Effectively, I had pushed as much of me inside as I could. It was very uncomfortable. I was thinking the little people could make a killing on cleaning jobs cuz they could really get in there. I felt like alice in the too small house. Well it's tgif, have a good one!

Why not simply reach inside a cabinet instead of crawling in?

Dazzlingdreamberry 05-21-2016 04:52 PM

Hi mr w! Configuration of cabinet. This brown sugar mess was on the back wall. My arms not long enough. It's an L shape. Terrible design.

Brown sugar. How come you taste so good?

Dazzlingdreamberry 05-21-2016 08:43 PM

Brown sugar with butter on a yam is most delicious.

Mr. Wrong 05-21-2016 09:07 PM

I've never been fond of sweet potatoes or yams. I am fond of those yummy Yukon Gold taters. Lots of butter.

Dazzlingdreamberry 05-21-2016 09:42 PM

Yukon gold. Will have to try that.

There is another variety of potato that I had once while in England that was so tasty unto itself that I needed not put any salt or butter on it.

Dang if I can recall the name of this particular potato.

Dazzlingdreamberry 05-22-2016 01:15 AM

If you heard the name, would you remember? I have English pals I can ask.

Nope. I even looked up all the names of the variety of potatoes and my puny brain couldn't recall the potato I had some twenty years ago.

I was on vacation with my brother, mother, and stepfather, and we drove to the English countryside to visit a co-worker of my stepfather's named John.
John was an avid vegetarian and had a garden where he grew these marvelous potatoes.

I did remark how tasty his potatoes were and he must have told me what particular variety of potato I was eating, but I do not recall.

Dazzlingdreamberry 05-22-2016 09:37 PM

That'll be one of those once in a lifetime memories, then, never to be replicated. It'll be your pink potato �� standard... You might say.

Be my pink potato. Be my honey lamb. Dance around the campfire. Hang around a while.

Dazzlingdreamberry 05-24-2016 04:36 AM

Have I ever told you I have a thing for sheep?

---------- Post added 05-23-2016 at 10:02 PM ----------

It's almost 11 p.m. And I'm wishing I had a slice of pizza. I don't.

The neighbors golden retriever had her parade yesterday. Owner bought her a wagon and Mr. x said he saw about 40 folks following as the dog made her last appearance around the neighborhood. The owner invited all to have his homemade chili, cornbread, watermelon etc. There was a large wooden dog to sign. He had lots of chairs in his front yard.

After the sun went down, with the help of the vet, and the owner holding her, she was put to sleep.

The poor dog. I sure wish pets lived longer. David Lowery of Cracker once described dogs as being "grief time bombs". This is so true.

And I did not know that you had a thing for sheep. Is this good or "baaaa-d"?

Dazzlingdreamberry 05-24-2016 04:05 PM

I sleep with a sheep. Her name is sheppie. She is very feisty and does a mean hoofie dance. I got a golden retriever plushy because I was so enamored with nabes dog.

Has your feisty sheep ever did a mean hoofie dance on a conference table?

salvete 05-25-2016 03:24 AM

so this is where mr. wrong posts in the hangouts forum

Dazzlingdreamberry 05-25-2016 06:28 AM

Hi salvete! Yes, Mr. w hangs here at my pink clubhouse. We're studying up on the wood used in conference tables. There's soda in the fridge. Help yourself!

Well, I heard monsieur ugly was spotted cat napping on a porch in Utah. Can you imagine stepping on That in your robe and slippers?

Unsavory elements rammed their car thru a gun store window in my faire town. Sheesh. They stole guns. Hope they were equipped with GPS.

Watched some downton abbey tonite. So cool to watch it on my tablet. I can see it perfectly. Had kettle chips and chocolate pudding in milk just now. Not one of my healthiest days. But I walked 40 min listening to bee gees. Going to bed now. Nite!

Yes. Yes, I do. And when Dazz and sometimes when Dazz and I aren't studying conference table wood composition, we have lunch together.

I'll bet these gun thieves used a stolen car to crash and dash. While guns themselves are not equipped with any sort of gps tracking device, guns do have a serial number stamped on them. Thieves like to file or grind down the serial numbers, but I seen where forensic scientists may still be able to find a serial number using a certain technique with refractory lighting or some such thing to read these filed down serial numbers. This comes after the fact, but at least it gives law enforcement a clue as to whom the bad guys are or were.

Inzanebraned 05-26-2016 04:08 AM

In Denver, the police recently tested software that can pinpoint where a gun was fired.
There are sensors placed in selected, but not disclosed, areas.

My grandfather always took the end off the stock of his rifles and put a piece of tape with his social security number on it in there, then put the piece back on...assuming any thieves wouldn't think to break the guns down.
He had his hunting rifles stolen from out of the cab of his International pickup truck, parked right outside his bedroom window.
He had just returned from a hunting trip, eshausted, and had gone straight to bed...neglecting to remove the rifles in the gunrack....Gone when he woke!
I dont remember if he ever recovered those guns....living in a town of 800 people, I imagine the thief took them far away to sell them.

So...How is everybody?
I have been a bit of an emotional mess...
Hope has been away since Saturday...
I was supposed to get Sarah back into town for a blood test...but Hope made me promise that she could come, too...
Hope's mom agreed to meet us at the lab if we got Sarah down the mountain before they bring Hope back...but the BF has been missing some paid hours at the tire shop, applying for better paying jobs, and one guy already quit, and somebody is taking tomorrow off...and Fridays are their busiest days...so I'm going to call Sarah's neurologist tomorrow and let her know that we will take care of that blood test early next week...
By then, hopefully, the BF will have fixed the car AGAIN, and we can just run into town and get it done and he can go to work afterward...and Hope should be back by then...I think.

The BF and I got into a heated discussion, leaving me feeling....even misunderstood and neglected...
I seriously went to sleep wishing I wouldn't wake...not just because of our argument...THAT just gave me less reason to not think things I'm pretty good at not thinging about these days....
I endure a lot of..."personal" pain...that the doctors haven't found a cause of, yet....
I KNOW it is not "just in my head," because I would rather die than to experience the discomfort I experience...for, apparently, no reason!
But...I'm not so sure the BF doesn't think its all in my head...and he often expresses his opinion that he thinks he has had some influence on my lack of desire to be intimate anymore...saying things like "I think you are allergic to me," or "Maybe you'd feel better if I cut my member off, cuz I wish I didn't have mine!"
I have to make mtself believe that he doesn't realize how hurtful those words are!
But...I lost my temper and yelled how jealous I was that he HAS something to cut OFF, and that if I had "something" TO cut off, to relieve my discomfort, I would have already DONE it....then I stomped around the house and put Sarah to bed and stayed awake until sunrise,....wishing I would fall into that eternal sleep...
When I woke,...it was late!...so, I was instantly hit with a guilt trip for not having given Sarah her pills on time and I hadn't got her up...
BF was gone at work...
He texted me when he got off work, asking if I needed stuff from the store.
I texted him a list...and prepared myself for being in his presence....a little anxiety set in...
H
When he got home with groceries, there was a tube of some sort of....lotion?
He explained that it was the handcream I had requested he look for for my horribly dry and cracked hands...about a year prior!!
*apology points*
Bitter and skeptical me, I grunted some thanks and tried some of this O'Keefe's Working Hands....thinking it probably wouldn't work aby better than any other product I've tried...
Well,...I'll tell you WHAT! That stuff REALLY WORKS!!
My hands had been so rough that they would stick to Sarah's diapers like velcro...and that was painful!....and I had resolved to avoiding touching Hope's face because the skin on my hands would scratch her delicate skin....
After 1 application, I noticed a HUGE improvement!....Sarah's diaper didn't stick to my hands, even hours after application!
I applied more before going to bed....and, already, today, my hands feel soft and supple...not like sandpaper stretched too tight over the bones!!
It's almost like a miracle to me!....I had figured I was going to be cursed with rough hands for the rest of my days...since wearing gloves to do the laundry hasn't helped any...
But, I feel like a new woman!!....my HANDS are SOFT...and they don't HURT!....and I'm not afraid to touch someone else's...um..."sensitive skin" so to speak! ...allowing me to provide some intimate pleasure for BF that won't antagonize my own condition, and won't strip him of some very sensitive skin! Lol!

So...please forgive me for candidly expressing myself, here...but, again, I have no real friends to talk to about this...
Mainly, my point is...I find it amazing how a little tube of lotion has brightened my world so much!
Not only do my hands feel better...and the BF feels better...but I was truly touched that he remembered the lotion I wanted and finally bought it for me!
His money didn't go to tools and poker....he actually bought me something that I had actually forgotten that I had asked him to look for!
....It was kinda like the proverbial "flowers" given after an arguement, to silently say "I'm sorry!"

Oh...the SMALL things that wind up meaning SO much! Lol!

So....I'm no longer wishing to not wake up....at least for now!
I mean...I still have plenty of reasons to wish that....but as I said earlier, I'm usually pretty good at not letting myself think those thoughts....so, I'm back "on track!" Lol!

The news I have been reading has been terribly depressing!
The one lady who was the mother of a severely disabled daughter who, thinking she herself has cancer and will die, killed her daughter and tried to commit suicide..."So her daughter could be with her in Heaven"... (I sooo empathize with this woman!...but doubt I could willingly take Sarah's life!)...then, the mother of a 2 year old boy who someone caught video of her SCREAMING at her child "FIND MY PHONE CHARGER OR I'M GONNA KILL YOU," and getting to see and hear the FEAR she inflicts upon this toddker! ... (she's in jail, now...and the kid is in protective custody)....then, some 18 year old punk shot his 3 year old step-son in the head for jumping on his BED!
These stories make me want to cry and they make me have this large lump in my throat...and these were just 3 of the many that I have read recently!
It is sad, sad, sad!

On a completely DIFFERENT note...I had the cutest, tiniest chipmunk on my porch rail today!!...stealing seeds meant for the birds.
His body couldn't have been over 2 inches long...and his curious little face had the most intense markings!
(I know I'm gonna hate the little bugger when he's bigger and trying to find ways into my house...but he SHORE WUZ A CUTEY!)
I have burds living inside an accsess panel on the outside of the house...they have nested there the previous 2 years...What's another year? Lol!
(This IS only a RENTAL house, afterall! Lol!)

Well....Thanks, folks, for letting me vent a little frustration and for coming along for the "ride!"
I hope you-guys' lives are more pleasant than the one I choose to live!
Anybody have any plans for the upcoming holiday?

Right now, I have to wake the BF to take me to the store for items for dinner...
I refuse to drive the car...for it does not like me and I fear it will leave me stranded!
....it LIKES the BF!! Lol!

Maybe I'll be back later...maybe later than later, I wont know until it happens! Lol!
Here's hoping all are well and life is treating ya right! [heart]!
