Messages from a rusty halo

Laurie has asked me to make a few posts for the group. She likes my humor! Well, there is no accounting for taste! (thank you, Capt Kirk, Star Trek's The Trouble with Tribbles) and gotcha Laurie! lolol

If there are no complaints, I will post a copy of the Mountain News here on a daily basis. If I make you smile, laff out loud or feel better for just a few minutes, you will have made my day!

Some references will be directed to the guys in VNV, some to CCC and some to the world at large!

Huggies and love to all...The mellowing like fine wine emom

2009-11-4 1510 hours. Welcome home, dear hearts, welcome home…

Much to my enemies displeasure, I think I am gonna live! I think I’ve had the flu or sumfin equally interesting. LOLOL At my age, I can’t tell a whole lot of difference…flat on my back is not all it’s cracked up to be.

Emails… All kinds of problems with my emails. Windows Live decided to take over this puter and all my emails. If you’ve sent any messages and rec’d no response, please resend them. I only have Incredimail now and I have lost some of my emails that were listed in WLive. Will it never cease?

Somewhere in the last few days, I rec’d a request by a lady to locate a veteran for her friend. The Friend and the Vet had almost married back during the Nam War; had finally lost touch with each other. Just letting the lady know I was unable to locate any info… The last name of the Vet is Jones…….

A note to Therman….Thank you for the sweet and kind hearted comments but I absolutely refuse to open a bed & board for aliens. Even if you do buy my mountain and build the structures, I would still need to get off my lazy buns and do some work! Thanx anyway!

HEADS UP! Does any one know where/how to get the MIA?POW bracelets?
I talked to a friend at Ft. Campbell. She puts up with me… God love her and her halo! Anyway she suggested the Military museum gift shop. No luck there either. Gift shop advised me to Google for the info…This I have not done yet.

Two days ago, I rec’d a message from Suzy (of blue wire fame) asking me to contact all of mine. Today, I am mentioning it here in the news. I have all kinds of ideas but I don’t know “how to.”

The ‘Skins’ section needs some military backgrounds from each of our branches of service for the upcoming Veterans Day. Suzy honey if you are reading this, How bout the stars and bars that were hung in the front windows of service members homes during the second world war.

Anyway, if you have any posters, ideas on finding something representing all our different services, send them to Suzy at Eons or contact me and I will try to forward.

Another HEADS UP…I have started a new group for the friends, families, Veterans themselves and any active member of the military services…Army…Navy…Coast Guard… Marines… The group is called ARMED FORCES NEWS & UPDATES.

It is under construction and not quite finished yet but it is at least up and running.

I wanted to call it ADOPT A BASE or something similar… but it would be easier to find with the ARMED FORCES heading.
Please, adopt a base or a branch of the military. Be one of our roving reporters and post all the news that you can. The News goes all over the world now… There are so many of ours who would appreciate the latest from their home bases.

view link Or you can go to my profile page and click on the link to groups there…

NOTE… some things may/might be removed from this posting site (or edited) if the items might be considered a security risk for ours.

Later. Need to go rest…. Take care and go in safety always…Remember to love one another… We are all we have.

Many hugs, much love and lots of laffter… meems, the addled

2009 NOV 6 0350 hours… Welcome home dear hearts, welcome home.

I know, I know! It’s not even 4:00 am yet and here I am at the puter already! Sheesh!

The following is sad and heartbreaking… read at your own risk.

Something I didn’t mention in yesterday’s news…Jessie’s husband, Gary, was found dead on Monday. I received a call from a friend of theirs asking for verification. I started checking into this sad news and finally was able to verify his death as fact.

Last evening, I received a call from our veterinarian friend, Joey. Would I take or help find homes for the 9 dogs left behind? As much as I would like to take any or all of them, I cannot. Finances will not allow it. However, I CAN try to find homes for as many as I am able.

Gary’s brother, J.T., had called Joey for help. Joey advised I would be receiving a call from J.T….No problem… I got busy on the phone…I found a possible home for one so far.

J.T. called…These dogs have approximately 36 hours to live. J.T. stated he “could not take them home to Chicago on Saturday and would not abandon them here.”

What can I say?

And then there is the Ft. Hood incident.

Be at peace, mine. Rest, tour of duty is over. Go in safety.

My deepest and sincerest sympathy to all. meems

2009-11-7 0428 hours…Welcome home, dear hearts, welcome home.

Get in here and grab a cuppa sumfin and get warm. Sheesh, it sure is chilly out there AND dark! Do you have any idea of how dark it can get out in the middle of nowhere? In the middle of the nite? Just the critters, the safety light and a little past the full of the moon? Lolol

Oh, but I had a 0100 hours visitor! Viva was throwing a fit…I grabbed the .22 revolver and out I went… I fired a round. A few more barks from Viva and all was finally quiet! It’s funny in one way but an aggravation in another.

Somebody (guess who) was in the lower corner of the lower field with a duck caller. Second time this past week. Mr. A can be a real pain. He seems to get a charge out of pestering the unmarried women of the area in the middle of the nite.

He’s finally learned to quit harassing the married women… their hubbies get just the least mite upset! Can you say: got the stuffing beaten out of him, Mr. A?

Mr. A is a prime example of the saying “the difference between a man and a dog? Once trained, the dog never forgets!” Anna adds “dogs don’t complain” ! Gotcha all you guys! Lololol

Safety first! This old lady will be in the fall out shelter by the time you guys read this!

It just sank in that today is SATURDAY! How did it get to be Saturday already? I missed the reminder to ‘Wear Red tomorrow’ on Thursday. And the Wear Red day on Friday. I apologize… I promise I’ll try to do better in the future.

1454 hours…

Went back to bed for a while…Very little starch left in this body and somebody let the air out of my toes! Don’t worry tho… I’ll be back to normal (whatever that is) very shortly! The worst is over… or not! Lolol I am sort of concerned tho… Little Jake and the Marv are being nice to me!!! Little Jake has reason to be nice! I have give him the ultimate threat! Little bit of dark humor coming up here… be warned.

Ya know how I always how things could get worse… I could be your next door neighbor? I have come up with a “worse”! Oh yeah!

I’ve decided that Broom and me could be buried on one side of LJ when the time comes .. (within hearing distance anyway) and the Red Head would be on the other side, of course!

Just imagine the punishment of being buried between two gabby red headed women … one with a broom! For the rest of eternity! Well, I was a red head a long time ago! Course, mine came out of a bottle but the personality fit! Lolol Gotcha LJ! Again! ROFLMAO! Love you….

I think I feel a lot better… I love picking on mine! Lolol

And then the Marv called me the other nite… just checking to see if I was still around! Oh yeah! This is really a BIG compliment! Like most men… he hates to talk on the phone. He was also hung over! What a party animal! Marv and I swap prices on items all the time…

He lives on the west coast and I am sort of middle America! He was paying $3 for half a gallon of milk… while here, a gallon of milk went for $5. Cereal is outrageous! Rent out there is outrageous too.

I threaten the Marv with moving in next door… Just me, the broom, 7 dogs and one cat. AND a lot of noisy pots and pans. I am getting the giggles! Lolol I will be his semi-automatic alarm clock… especially on the morning after of a nite on the town… Can you imagine trying to sleep off a hang over and waking to an ungodly serenade of crashing, clanging pots and pans… The dogs doing a sing song and the emom yodeling off key! Broom keeping time thumping on the side of the house? Ah yes!

Lordy pete… at 1500 hours today… I had to call Richmond 911…possible emergency! Tell ya all about that tomorrow.. Sheesh!

Later all of mine… need to feed my face… meems is hungry.

Take care and go in safety always… Remember to bring lots of ammo if you move to the mountains and pistol of your choice.

Many hugs, much love and lots of lafter… meems

2009-11-9 Welcome home, dear hearts, welcome home!

Hey everybody… come out on the front porch or the drive… chairs and little stools for setting. One rocking chair… and kids, I’ve had it for years… comfy and adjustable that rocker. I want to thank all of you for your kind thots (Well except for a couple of people who shall remain nameless for the moment! I’ll tell on them later!) lloll

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
THE FOLLOWING IS FROM THE ROTTEN KID AND ROVING REPORTER/GUEST COLUMNIST! DONNA IN MAUI!

Coconut Wireless to Emom’s Mountain News…Newsflash on BBB (Bamboo Bulletin Board) this a.m. reads as follows. SUNDAY...11-8-09...Barking Doggie Commando alerts Local Mountain Woman. Pistol Packin LOMOWO hears man's voice..."Help me...Groans...says Needs Help." Revved Up LOMOWO makes 911 Kawobonga call to Richmond.

Lights...Camera...Action...LOMOWO scouts immediate area in truck...on foot.
Yelling and listening are responded to by fire power. Muddled address mess adds to confusion. Trooper arrives...says suspected neighbor Loon Mr. A is not the groaning man.

MYSTERY ABOUNDS. Who fired shots? Who groaned and said help? Man?...beast?...too much Vanilla Drinking by LOMOWO? Answer pending/LOMOWO spent/Sheriff's Dept going hmmmmm.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%

Where do I start today. Donna’s questions are just a few of many I rec’d about yesterday’s News… lolol I mean, the situation was serious as far as I was concerned but I had to laff because of the circumstances.

Re: Mr. A was stabbed… Don’t know by whom… where it occurred nor exactly when! The mountain telegraph is in motion but no info coming in yet.

Then yesterday early afternoon, I called Dotty and Butch answered the phone. (Did I mention Butch is one of mine?) Anyway, Butch tells me he’s on his way up to get the chickens. I was down to 6… the last doodle disappeared. Ok, see ya in a bit…

I had asked Butch if he would take the chickens and he said he would. I can’t take care of them this winter… Just not able and I sure can’t run the risk of slipping and falling if we have ice/snow storms this winter. Well, ratz. I missed the crowing of the roosters and the hens cackling this morning.. Viva threw a hissy fit down at the pen though. Barking and looking around the pen. I bet she’s gone down there to look a dozen times or more.
I think in her mind, the chicks were on her duty roster and now they are missing.

Well, Butch finally comes chugging up the road in his old red pick up! He goes thru the pack greeting! Comes up on the porch and says… “I think they (the dogs) like me!

Of course, instead of saying Hey, how are ya? I take my favorite quote from Star Trek..The Trouble With Tribbles… “Well, there’s no accounting for taste.” And throw it at him!

Butch replies, I got taste…
Yup. Bad and no class! me

Butch comes up and plops his buns in the comfy rocker. We got to fussing back and forth about who has the worst running pick up… his or mine. We decided that mine was the noisiest and his was the worst running. Lolol

Then here comes Clayton… Clayton works for Butch as a handy man when needed. So now, I have two visitors on the front porch along with the six pack + one!!!

Butch tell Clay to go down and start stuffing hens and roosters into a dog carrier. OK… Off Clay goes, down the hill on his 4 wheeler. Not 5 mins and Clay is back without chickens and sans dog carrier!

Discussion follows: Them mf’s bit me! Bit me on both hands! Especially the setting hen! I fell off the chair… Butch was giggling and Clay was still complaining. Butch says come on, I’ll show you how to do it!

I am squalling but I DID manage to get out,… wait.. let me get the camera… I come racing into the house…grab the cam and go flying out the back door, down the steps, around the mimosa, down the hill thru the back yard. Just a hustling, me!

By the time I got to the pen, the two adult males (trust me, that ain’t saying much at the time) and the dog carrier were inside the main gate.

I plop my buns on a milk crate, put my pop can along side and start crying! I got so tickled I almost wet myself! It got worse… Clay almost fell over trying to reach and grab one chicken. Got a pic of that! Well, I couldn’t breath! I also discovered I can’t take a picture worth a dime when I have the giggles…Steady cam and hysterical giggles just ain’t compatible at all!

I got bonked on the head by a flying rooster. I just put my head down and sobbed. Clay was cussing and Butch was grinning for all he was worth… I have pondered since they left whether I had been assigned to a looney bin without my knowing… my problem with that? I seem to fit!
Here’s some pix of them two idiots in the chickyduck pen… enjoy!

view link Butch and a hen!


view link Clayton and the cage!


view link Two adult males… Clay taking a nose dive to his left! Lolololol

Tears are running again! OMG! Take care all of mine and go in safety always. Remember the world, in its way, has a sense of the ridiculous! Lololol

Many hugs, much love and loads of lafter… The still has an achy stomach meems!

2009-11-10 1350 hours… Welcome home, dear hearts, welcome home.

I received all kinds of comments about the ‘two adult males in the chickyduck pen’. I’ve laffed till I cried again.. Now, I’m not sure what Marv’s drawpig link means, but maybe I’m not supposed to…

SherriAnne commented on your blog post:
"Who needs cable when you can have this? And , no infomercials!
Sometimes you just have to wonder about the ranking of humans and chickens on the intelligence scale! The inhabitants of the 'Chicken Hilton' to the south of me are still hale and hearty. I'm hoping they'll hibernate- but I know that's a little too much."
view link from the Marv! Lololol

“Those dog-gone chickens can be mean! I learned not to mess with the babies when i was a kid. I had an mother chicken chase all the way down the hill from the barn one day! WOW!!

I take it the guys survived.” This from Junie! Lolol

My fonts are playing mind games again. That’s ok tho, I’t might straighten itself out when I start posting to the groups… or not! Lololol

It’s sleepy weather here…Cloudy, damp, cool and misty! The critters agree… they are zonked out from wall to wall! and snoring loudly!

Cutting this short today…am still tired from whatever I had and now I am sneezing again… the warm weather has brought out the pollens again… lolol

Semper Fi my Marines… happy anniversary… Hoooo Aaaah!

Many hugs, much love and loads of laffs… meems

Remember tomorrow is WEAR RED DAY! SUPPORT OUR TROOPS


I got to thinking last nite (a very dangerous pastime for me). The more I thought, the angrier I became.

I don’t often say anything about politics or the Laws of the Land. I don’t because mainly I don’t know enuf to discuss politics with any degree of knowledge. (There is probably an oxymoron in that last sentence?!?)

The following is just based on supposition:

Just suppose that the old men of ‘Congresses all over the world’ who make the laws, were forced to abide by them. Wonder if ‘they’ could manage on Social Security or on the communist way of life?

Just suppose that all the ‘World Leaders from all over the world’ were always to be first in line.

All of the above are “leaders – movers- and shakers” right?

Then, by God, let them get out there and lead!

Let them be FIRST in battle, let them be the FIRST to suffer, let them do without care after being wounded in battles! Let their families lead the way in showing how brave they are when the head of the family lies dead and or lost in a foreign land.

According to them, (if this is true) counsel the elderly on assisted suicide…Get rid of the elderly in a neat and tidy fashion. If this is true, lead the way Ladies and Gentlemen of our Lady Earth!

Does any one remember the movie Soylent Green?

Let these Leaders of the world go first! Show me how it is and how it will be done to the rest of us!

For the first time in my life, I wrote a letter to the President of OUR COUNTRY! This was in ref to and after Katrina devastated our lands.

I’ve lived a long time and seen a lot of political nonsense in my time but I have never been so embarrassed for our country as when the President failed to respond to a major emergency. (I can’t see General Patton doing this)

I wrote to the ‘man’ and said that I was ashamed of him… that he had embarrassed us before the world..that he had failed his people…I said a few other things…
Most men who attain the presidency rise to become better men than they were. The Katrina president failed miserably. This was not a time for political posturing, this was actual and real! He failed!

That’s enuf of that now… I am still angry.. and if the managers feel this is too much of a diatribe for our members, feel free to delete this one…no hard feelings, I just had to get this out of my system. It was choking the life out of me…just as it is doing to my country.

Remember all that our country is NOT a democracy; it is a Republic… “OF, BY AND FOR THE PEOPLE”. We are the ones who have the final say…

Take care all of mine. Go in safety always. God, Bless America and God, please watch over all of ours.

Many hugs, much love and kind thoughts… meems

Remember today is WEAR RED FOR OUR TROOPS day!


Well, get out here and park your buns! It’s too pretty a day to stay inside. The critters are chasing and playing all over the yard! LOLOL Growling, tripping each other, playing tag, sneezing and snorting all over each other.. lolol

Viva is out there sunning herself while Maxfield chews on her tail feathers! Newbie is observing the activities in the most dignified manner. Crackin’ me up…

We all can remember a time when Newbie was removing the legs from all the chairs… eating the doors off their hinges… eating the comforters and the feather pillows. Remember the toilet paper and paper towel rolls? Remember him chewing on my toes… stealing my cigars and mangling the packs? I was positive that neither one of us would live for him to see age two!

Him is the best feller ever now… gentle and sweet natured… but he is still growing! Oh Dear, and now he has his winter fur…. Looks just like a big yellow bear with a long nose! Lolol He is very dignified and laid back… But he still rules the roost out here. Viva is the more aggressive of the two. When she growls, the little ones stand to attention!

I stay out of the middle of the dominance thing… The critters sort it out among themselves…And I am still top dog up here on the mountain side. GUN is still the magic word! Oh yeah!

A word to the wise. If the Newbie ever comes up and leans against you, try not to fall down. Another thing, if Newbers leans on you, that is his stamp of approval… be complimented! If he stands sideways between the two of us… don’t move… much safer for you!

I’ve tried to get outside more often the last week or so… Flirting with my flyguys… Oh, I love getting flashed! I still haven’t been able to verify the ‘mooning’ thing yet. The old eyes ain’t what they used to was… but you bet your last dime, I’m a gonna keep trying!

Keeping this short… Scotty has been mowing the large fields up wind of the house. Can you say ‘sneezing again from the pollen and dust?’… lolol

Take care all of mine. Go in safety always. Remember to be open to the world around you… there is soooo much to see and learn.

Many hugs, much love and lots of lafter… meems

Welcome home, dear hearts, welcome home!

Gonna try this one more time... Server wiped me out totally on the first try. Was all done and trying to post to VNV...I had saved the news like I always do. But it disappeared... all gone! lolol Can you say: grumble mumble cuss and fuss? Oh yeah!

Shorter version for this attempt.

Had to call Richmond 911 last nite... drive by shot at dogs. put the mountain telegraph to work... Got make, color and license plate on subject ... dark windows.. relayed info... dogs ok

Butch and Dottie had a preggers nanny goat shot several days ago. Goat is still alive but seems to be paralized in hind quarters.

Four of Jessie's dogs have homes.

CNN is running a program "Veterans In Focus" as I write. Well done, CNN.

Well, ratz... my one necklace came apart and I lost my bear w/heartline and my Kokopelli but I did not lose my Circle of Life pendant.

A heads up... M&M's... check you ads on your group page. Might just have a relationship to your group. Brot to my attn by Massracin...

I saw one about the military on one of my vet groups... can't remember at the moment which one.

Watched a program on NatGeo last nite... "Ancient Astroid"... Offered an explanation of the singulararity of the field of foreign glass in the Sahara. Would you believe I read about this unusual glass when I was about 10 years old? I've lived long enuf to get some answers to some of my questions. lolol

I was around when the first radar beam was bounced off the moon... and now 'they' know the moon DOES hold water... Oh dear... I can see pop cans there now... just a matter of time...

Well, Scotty finished mowing the field above me yesterday... lolol Viva is out there digging a hole to China...(Is that still legal?) lol Spud is running his legs off nose to the ground... checking stuff out... The Newbie is being his normal laid back self... [SCOTTY, SPUD & MAX]
view link

The Lily is checking things out too... Been more than a year since they could run in that field... LOLOL Checking out the doggy newspaper! lolol

Might have found a person for Maxfield to love. Five year old boy's puppy was stolen... Max will be good for him, the little boy. The boy's need is greater than my own... Oh dear, I'm gonna cry again

WELCOME HOME, DEAR HEARTS, WELCOME HOME!


Ok, so here I am… stoppied up dose and all. I think age is catching up with the ol body! Went in to Kim’s office yesterday for my appointment.

Lordy pete, the place is a disaster! I mean really! This is the week she is moving into her new building. I think I will complain here! Not a magazine in sight! No racks, no nuffin to read… Moving vans all over the place! Mumble grumble grouse carp! I always catch up on my reading when I am in the waiting room or exam room! Shucky darns!

I grumbled at her and all she did was laff! Lololol Can you imagine? That Kim is one impressive lady!

Well anyway, we/she decided to change my meds… The Toprol was the critter causing my sleepiness… and a few other problems… Meems is gonna live if I can just get rid of this cold!

Gotta tell ya that Kim made me cry yesterday. Not anything bad but extra good! I admired a ring she was wearing… Beautiful square cocktail ring with crystals and onyx set in white gold. She said to try it on… Oh, it is a knock out! “Does it fit?” Yup… “it’s yours.” No no… yes, yes!

I’ve never had anything like that happen before… I was stunned, overwhelmed and on the verge of tears… OMG! I thanked her and all she said was ‘don’t you dare cry’ .. I’ll cry too… lolol

Tried to take a pic of it but I couldn’t get the focus right with the one cam and I need to do a diff set up on the other cam.

Well, after a trek down the hall to the lab, I was thrown out…

I dropped off the paintings at the Action Team… Got thrown out of there too. And Pogo, the rotten kid, told me I was stuck with her. When I tell her some of the things I’ve been doing, she just drops her head and laffs. I think I am a bad influence on her! Nah! Not ME! Lolol Which reminds me… Pog’s could you do me a big favor? Would you see that Kim gets of copy of this one? Thank you missy… hugs

After I left the Action Team, I drove across the road to the flower shop… I’m looking for some silk calla lilies… Have another painting in mind for my lady of the flag…..

The Flower shop is gone! It is now a second hand place… I went on in to see what I could see… Oh dear, two beautiful stuffed with veggies and herb type bottles. Paintings immediately fell out of my brain… The shapes! The color combinations… Oh dear! Well, I bought them… and a small mirror and an abstract type chicken. (Speaking of color, check the reds on the Bradford pear out front)

view link


I got the heck out of there before I got into more trouble. I headed for the courthouse. Tormented the Sheriff, caused one of his deputies to blush and leave the room. Lolol Can you see this happening? Lololol Oh yeah!

Sid’s office was too busy for me to start anything in there. So I wandered down to the Office where Luli works… lolol Tormented the heck out of her and her co-worker… Stopped by the Judge Magistrate’s office but him was busy too…Well, ratz! I only got thrown out of two offices… I must be slipping!

I headed for home… and made it to Anna’s… Was only gonna stay a few minutes which turned into an hour or more! I gave her my boots! Yup… took them off right there and gave them to her… nice warm winter mukluk types. Got them last year and they fit fine. I put them on yesterday and they about ate the tops off my toes. Ouchie ouchie! Do your feet get bigger as you get older?

Any way… she turns around and give me a pair of Persian design silver rings. Same design on both but one has a mother-of-pearl inlay; the other has jet inlay. Merry Christmas, Paula.

I finally got home…got the mail and sat out front for a while..Awesome fall day. Some clouds, mares tails…a light breeze…88 degrees…and a lot of the BBSBs. Had to sit for most of the carrying ons… sort of dizzy again. I waved and threw hugs and kisses… and laffed when I got flashed! Lolol Spud climbed up on my lap. The Newbie spent some time leaning against me. Viva came over to sprawl next to me…The wrecking crew and Lilyputz were playing in the sun…

I was out there early this morning with dogs, cigs and coffee… Only saw one contrail today but I did see some of mine up there… just a roaring! Still checking for that second window… got the giggles here!
view link

The hunters were out playing up and down the holler. The crows (watchdogs of the wild) were complaining.

Gotta tell ya I almost drove off the road on the way to town… the sun was up and the mists were rising from the ponds and streams… I got a good look at the clouds hanging below the mountain tops… Most awesome sight in the world to look down a valley… to be able to see for miles. Farms and homesteads sprinkled here and there among the forest and the streams and waterfalls… Can you say: Paradise?

Let see, what else? Oh, I called the Electric company. Gonna have another security light put up…I can pay to have the pole installed etc.. over a period of 5 years at $3.50 plus the regular charge for the elec. Sounds like a deal to me!

I think I am going to have it put at the edge of the southeast corner of the field.. light aimed at the house. There goes the view of the stars but safety first…. I’ve been having a lot of prowlers again… Not the hunters… prowlers… Sheesh. There are some drawbacks to living out here. I hear shots being fired down the holler from me right now. Right now though, it’s the hunters on their 4 wheelers out playing.

Gotta tell you quickly about the drive home yesterday. Lolol Would you believe I turned on the wrong road? Oh yeah… Drove for a couple of miles before things didn’t look right! Found a spot to turn around and go back to the main river road. I made the mistake of telling Anna about it… I will never hear the end of it either! lololol

Well, I don’t often travel Rte. 11…and some things had changed! Lolol In fact I think it’s been almost a year since I went that way! Lolol Duh, Paula!

I think I best get off here and do sumfin besides sleep…

Take care all of mine… go in safety always… remember to not take the wrong turn when in the mountains. Who knows where you might end up!

Many hugs, much love and lots of lafter… meems

WELCOME HOME, DEAR HEARTS, WELCOME HOME.

Well, gee whiz… go to the doctor, and sure as shooting, you’ll come home sick! Lolol Bad timing Paula! I have to laff cause that sure is the way it seems to work.

Right now, I am either too hot or too cold!

I have to tell you all the rest of Monday’s story of the trip to town. Lolol

Remember, I told you about tormenting Luli and her co-worker. Well, while I was there the Prisoner Transport Officer came in.. He really is a nice guy! He started telling us about a female prisoner who wanted PTO to strip search her… NO NO NO NO!

Well, since I understood the problems sometimes involved with with female prisoner, I volunteered to let him strip search me… I wasn’t doing nuffin at the moment.

I looked at Luli and she was crackin’ up. I started to giggle. Turned around to look at the PTO and he had disappeared… Rolling on the floor now… Luli, was it sumfin I said?.. The way I said it? WHAT?!? All three of us ended up crying with lafter. That is also when I got thrown out… sumfin about being a bad influence, me! Can you imagine?

And if I remember, tomorrow I want to call Johnny.. The Police Chief of downtown Booneville. He is a fantastic photographer. (Don’t tell him I said that tho) He has a photo of all these ding dings I torment when I go to town… Need to get his permission to post it in the News… or not! Lolol Gotcha Johnny! WooooHooooo! Took me ten years but I finally did it!

Another gift on Monday… Got home and there was a large box setting on the rail on the ramp to the side door. Oh boy! Now what?

It, the box, was from MeSneaks… picture frames, an article on the Pharaohs of Egypt. AND a box of maple sugar candies… real maple sugars… Oh yeah…

God love her, she always remembers the story of the emom who only had a penny and the maple sugar candies cost two pennies. I think we were really poor when I was small. So anyhow, at least once a year, I find a box of maple sugars… Thank you, my much loved daughter… hugs…

Marv is still having puter problems…Won’t be back on line until maybe this weekend or longer… Said the phone co. needs to replace a whole block’s worth of cable.

Annie’s puter is in the hospital again… she is using her daughter’s.

I’ve been in bed most of the day…just me and the critters but I did make a trip out to the mail box. And it is the 4D’s out there. That’s what the Boss Man calls this kind of weather… lolol Dark, dank, drizzly, drinking weather! Well, since this is a dry county, I am force to stick with the vanilla! I do, however, agree with the Garymeister… Other than sleeping in this kind a weather, drinking is the only answer! Or not!

Another thing! Sheesh! I have mice! The field above me was mowed right? Lots of displaced mice running around out there! Oh dear… You know what I must do now and I really don’t want to… Mice will eat your wiring, start electrical fires and entice the snake population to come inside; this is just the beginning of a very long list of damage they can do.

And finally, I kept the door closed today… too chilly to leave it open. The Newbie is not happy about this! Not even a little bit…

Won’t let me type in peace… puts his heavy duty chin on my hands…. Bumps and plays tether ball with me and my chair… drools on me… kisses me on the nose… looks pitiful.. wags tail and just about beats me to death. I let him out… and not 15 mins later he is pounding on the door… in-out-in-out! LOLOL and sometimes there is another dog underneath him on these treks…

I am out a here… back to bed for a while…

Take care all of mine… go in safety always. Remember, only go to the doctor when you already have sumfin. Poor Kim! Lolol

Many hugs, much love and lots of laffter… the sniffle snuffle meems
