SNOT

DEFINITION.. A contemptible child or mucus from ones nose. Okay then.. well
we know what it is. WHY is there so much of it?? I mean is my head completely
empty and there are so many vacant spots in there that the stuff just multiplies

by the minute? Does some gremlin come in the night and place some kind of spell on me while I sleep so that the next day there is more of the stuff? While I have blown my nose for a week now..something must be going on. It can't just keep materilizing, or can it? I must read up because the colors coming from my head and sinus cavities are so varied. One day it looks like I snorted milk through my nose and the next it turns to a nice mellow yellow. Yeah I know that color means some kind of infection. How long can an infection last? Apparently, a long time even with medications. All I know is I have seen more than my share this week, andI won't bore you with what color is coming up from my nether lung areas. THAT might just scare ya!! AHHH the spring-summer cold it is a vicious animal.

VICKS OR NO VICKS


Should I or shouldn't I? Smear it on and see

what happens. Mom was always attached to

her Vicks VapoRub. She thought it would cure

just about anything. She would put it on our chests

and then cover us up with blankets. One time I was

so sick with a chest cold she made me swallow some

of it! ACkkkk The jar states CLEARLY Do not consume

internally! Well maybe back 45 years ago it didn't

say it that clear. Who knows.. I was small and I only

knew that lovely rub made it easier for me to breathe.

We wore a scarf around our neck with it on it, we put it

in a vaporizer and the aroma filled the whole house.


So yesterday I smeared it on my feet. Specifically the

bottoms near the ball of my foot. I placed some nice

warm socks on and went to bed. Miracle of miracles..

it worked. I could breathe easy and actually slept

for the first night in several days. This simple solution

kept me from having to smell it all night long as a

bonus. IT WORKS! So if you ever wonder.. Vicks or

No Vicks GO with the Vicks!!

I GOTSA DOG!!

Yep I adopted a puppy and I don't have
no bill for the vet to spay or neuter it. I
don't have to feed, water or walk him.
Alls I gotta do is play play play with
him and that makes him happy.
He is the same color as our old dog
and has the same name. You will find him
down the page a spell.
I gotta tip too. Don't push that
MORE blue button I beg you..heheheh
you will seeee He gets pretty
happy I tell ya..He loves that ball!!
The neighbors
here on this blogger might
get a little annoyed with him and
call the cyber cops on me!! I sure hope not!
LOL
Aawww it's just a little fun.

Blame it on my illness I am outta
my mind from coughing... phfffft!!

ATTACHMENTS..






I have found that as I get older I am more prone to be attached

to certain not so important objects. Things that others may see

as trivial. The other day I searched the whole house over for

a spatula. Not just any spatula mind you..one I use for

everything. I even have mom using it. On my search I came

across many items that I thought I had lost. Some things

I was glad to see again. Scissors and clippers and placemats

and kitchen towels. I never thought to look outside the kitchen

for the spatula. WHY on earth would it be anyplace else?

So spatula was missing for at least 3 days. I began to fear it

it was thrown out. Heaven Forbid that happen. I loved it's
ease of use and the silicone rubber how it wouldn't burn. Just
when I gave up all hope of finding it. It resurfaced.. none the worse

for wear. Where was it you ask? Well it appears that mom had

used it for something in the BEDROOM of all things and left

it there. I asked her what she used it for and she could not

remember, but we both were happy to see it again.Thanks Sue..

I don't think you ever thought that I would use and get attached to

your gift so much.

HELL HOUSE ADVENTURES

We have a very old house..over 125 years old..it creaks and snaps
and pops..is still hanging in there despite needing so many repairs.
Mom refuses to use drapes to keep out the cold etc..so we have shades.
She informed me that yesterday morning when she raised the shades
to our new neighbors..you know, the ones I spoke of moving in..
A MAN WAS STANDING ON THE PORCH PEEING ON THE PORCH!!!!
YES, you read that right. He was NOT peeing over the railing of
the porch..he was peeing ON the PORCH!!! EWWWW..
I was shocked..she was appalled and ready to call the cops!!
LOL I told her that there was nothing we could do but call
the landlady (who doesn't live here in town) and let her know what kind
of people she has living there. She doesn't care, I bet..as long as she
gets her money. YES they have a bathroom and YES it is working
no one else PEES on the porch. She said he left the doorway and just let it
fly and then went back in the house. Could he not find a cup or a
bucket inside the house??? I mean so many alternatives to doing
such a thing. I said to her..ARE YOU SURE?? She said YES..I know what
one looks like and I know when it is taking a leak!!! I said did you see
the PEE?..she said YES!! LOL By this time she was getting ticked at me for
questioning her. So I told her to call the landlady and inform her if
she wanted to..I didn't see it and I wasn't going to. If it happens
over and over again.I will but not for one incident.

That is not a good thing to see in the morning before your coffee and
breakfast I agree! Some people just blow my mind on why they
do the things they do. Quit trying to figure it out, I say, it will only
drive you crazy.
