Frankly My Dear...

Arrest Report

2009-08-11T08:10:00.001-05:00

That is something I never thought I'd be typing but I did get a copy of it from my lawyer.

This is how "Heather" described me: confused, and not stable on her feet --we were on an incline and she wanted me to do a heel to toe thingy which I tried to explain would be hard to do as a diabetic, but I made an attempt. I was not confused, I was nervous since I had never been told to get out of the car before.

She (me) stated that she had hurt her shoulder but couldn't remember how or when.

I did not say I hurt my shoulder! It was hurting for sure and the dr said it might be bursitis or a pinched nerve.

"Heather" said I couldn't recall the name of the 2 drugs the dr had prescribed. I knew one was an anti-inflamatory and the other was in case that one made me sick to my stomach. There was also a third one. And no, I couldn't tell you what they were without looking on the label!

She said I wasn't aware of what day or time it was! Well hells bells, when did that become a crime? I usually do know what date it is and about what time it is. Depends on what's going on. I do know how to find out! She did her best to make me sound dopey and drugged up.

She said I said I was taking the meds 4 times a day. WRONG! What they don't know is that I always take a smaller dose at first to see if that will do the job. I am not a pill-popper and not fond of taking medication. I had only taken ONE dose before I went to sleep early Sat night. My arm was hurting because I did not have enough medication in me!

Looks like it'll pretty much be my word against hers. I know there was nothing wrong with me other than intense pain with my shoulder. I crossed the center line when I was looking in the rear view mirror to see who was blinding me with their lights!

The court date has been changed to September. I hope I'm not in a basket by then.

(Thanks for the emails!)

You Have Reached Hell

2009-07-28T01:12:00.000-05:00

I was brought out of my glass cell to stand in front of this man and answer questions. I don't remember all of them but I do remember he asked me if I had ever felt like committing suicide and I said with a laugh--well, I'm beginning to! He smiled and didn't say anything. I found out what that smile was for alittle later. I was called out again and told to come to this new room. Once there, this dyke said I was being put on suicide watch and to take off my clothes! I said I had not been serious but no, take your clothes off and stay in this pink cement room with nothing to sit on but the floor. I could not believe these idiots! Oh, there was a guy with gloves on standing in the door--in case I was trouble, I guess. The dyke was making fun of me but yet I was told more than once how seriously they take suicide! BULL! They were enjoying themselves. I was given this velcro thing and a thin pad to sit on the cold floor with. There were no windows and for a toilet there was a grate in the floor! The food which I couldn't tell what most of it was, was brought by 2 guys in a brown tray and sat on the floor. Now I know how dogs and cats feel. It was always cold and the only thing I ate from Sun--Mon afternoon was some watery jello. I wasn't hungry and I still have trouble eating. The guys who brought the food were concerned about me--they kept noting if I had eaten anything. After I ate the jello, one of them said well, as long as there's something in her stomach! I wanted to scream shut up, you idiots! But I didn't know what they would do to me if there was an "outbrust"!

I fell in that cement room three times and finally quit trying to get up. I asked these concerned people to take me to the hospital and guess what? NO ONE CAME! My left leg was numb from sitting on the floor.

I couldn't see a clock or anything, but it felt like I'd been in that hellhole far longer than I was suppose to be! I yelled thru the door asking for someone to help me use the phone. A woman came to the door and I told her I hadn't called anyone and that I couldn't get up. She went to get a wheelchair and an Asian officer who pulled me up by my hand. She pushed me over to the phone that I had heard other people chatting on all day and I asked her what time it was--2 AM! Who the hell would be in an office or even awake??!!

She looked up my husband's aunt and uncle--they're in their 70's and 80's and I woke them out of a sound sleep because I didn't know what else to do! She had a dr's appointment in the morning so I said I'd keep trying one of my cousins. The only number she could find for him was his office. Useless. She asked me if I as thirsty and brought me some water. The first I'd had since I got there. I begged not to be put back in that room, but she said they had to. I asked to be left in the wheelchair. Couldn't.

I felt like telling funny man he could forget about the suicide watch but he better watch for homicidal rage!

There were cameras everywhere and also male guards.

They decided I needed a bath later maybe 'cause I'd peed on myself! They said someone was coming to see me but wouldn't say who it was. I was just glad someone was coming to get me out of this hellhole! Later when I got to check-out, in the wheelchair, I almost broke down when I saw our aunt and uncle. They had come after the dr's appointment. She asked them what I was arrested for and was told public intoxication, to which she said, I didn't drink. No comment from the genius!

I had walked in that special little hell and I left limping on a numb leg and barely able to stay upright! They took the money I had and gave me a check! We had ro locate my car because it wasn't where they had said it would be. I couldn't find my checkbook and had to get someone to take me to the bank the next day--I had to pay cash for my car, $200!

Oh yes, I fell on the steps coming in and smashed my nose. Luckily, it wasn't broken but it sure bled and hurt like the devil! I had to hold onto someone for a couple of days when walking and still do not have normal walking abilities and the leg is still numb. I plan to seek medical care.

I hate the sobs at that place and you don't want to know what I wish for them! I have to go to court Aug 26th, so keep me in your thoughts 'cause I just might go beserk if I have to see them again!

I'm having trouble eating and sleeping and I see them everytime I go out! It was the most humiliating, degrating experience of my life and I will never feel the same way about cops again. Never.

The Dummies That Run the Jail

2009-07-24T01:01:00.001-05:00

Okay, boys and girls, I am going to try to tell you how I came to spend some time last Sunday thru Monday at the Columbiana Jail. I am not a criminal nor have I been arrested before. I should not have been arrested last Sunday but the young girl that stopped me seemed very intent on it. Let me go back a few days and tell you that I spent eight hours in the ER in a whole lot of pain with my right shoulder. They gave me a shot and 3 prescriptions. One of them was for an anti-inflamatory, hydroco/apap, generic for loratab 7.5, The other 2 were to calm my stomach if that made me feel pukey.

I took one Friday and again Saturday--and went to sleep afterwards. The directions said to take 1 to 2 pills every 4 hrs, but I always start out by taking the smaller dosage. I woke up early Sunday morning and needed to go to the only store open, WM. I planned to go there and come right home. It's about a 5 min drive. I couldn't tell much difference in my arm--it still HURT! After I got back to the car, I spent several minutes trying to put the car in gear so I could leave. During this time, I was screaming from the pain. I finally gritted my teeth and used both hands and got it in D! I was saying a few choice words! I knew when I got home I was going to be taking another dose of pain medication. Out where we are it's very dark. I was looking for our road when I realized there were a couple of cars behind me and it was making it hard to see. I was mostly holding onto the steering with my left hand because the right one hurt so much. I looked in the rear view mirror and I knew I crossed over the line but I corrected it. Next came the flashing lights and I pulled over in a church driveway. This young woman had me get out of the car and said she wanted me to touch my nose, put one foot in front of the other and follow her pen with just my eyes, which I did. (I was hoping she would say try to strangle me!)I said why are you asking me this--I am a diabetic and I don't drink. She said I had gone over the white line and I could've killed someone. I was a minute from where I lived and the only other people were behind me on the road!

I was standing by my car and she came up and grabbed my hand and said she was going to arrest me for PUBLIC INTOXICATION! How the hell can that be if I haven't had anything to drink? She put me in handcuffs in her backseat! They said they would go tell my son what happened and give him the food I'd just bought. They only half did that and my car was not towed to where they said it would be. We were driving to the other side of the county and I asked where we were going. Columbiana County Jail--I think that is what the little hellhole is called! The sun was just coming up when we got in that area. She drove inside and I asked to have the handcuffs removed because they were pinching my wrists. She finally got around to removing them and I was given a stiff blanket and put in a glass cell. I was told I'd be there 12 hrs! No one in my family knew where I was. The AC was set very low and it was very cold in there.

I'm going to save part 2 for the real hell.

What I Did on My Summer Vacation...NOT!

2009-07-14T03:24:00.001-05:00

When I recover from some physical pain I've been in for a few weeks now, don't let me forget to tell you about my visit to the Shelby County Jail. Yeah, who's bad?!

Alabama Theatre

2009-06-23T17:27:00.002-05:00

The Showplace of the South will be showing old favorites thru August on the week-ends, I am looking forward to my favorite, Gone With the Wind, in July. If you haven't seen it on a large screen, you really haven't seen it! Check their online schedule and you may find one you want to see.

I'm not sure if the organ will be played all summer, but that is a treat when they do!

I came up to see a couple of cowboys who made personal appearances there, also went on a few dates and even went with my husband, too, so even though I didn't grow up in Birmingham, I have a long history with the Alabama!

Don't ask me how I managed this! I was fixing a couple of typos and this happened---the only way I know to fix it is to delete and start over, which I'm not going to do at this moment! Bloody computers!

What's so hard about staying onboard a cruise ship? Three people have gone overboard in the past month in the Gulf of Mexico! One was found clinging to a buoy on the ship's return trip! I bet he was clinging! I wonder if he could hear the opening song from Jaws while he was clinging?!The dummy said he was standing on the railing to get a better view of something when he slipped off! Maybe they should limit the alcohol intake! Or have them take an IQ test before they can get on the ship!

One of Many

2009-06-17T00:01:00.001-05:00

The other night, a storm came through and after blinking, we heard a very loud boom and the lights went out! Always guarantees a good time! Our closest neighbors are on a different line so their power stayed on! Just to be sure there was no doubt about their power still being on they had all their outside lights on and most of the inside lights, too! So much fun to be sitting in the dark--and I DO mean DARK--and knowing the neighbors have power to spare! :) Of course, that meant no tv, no computer, no nothing that required electricity!

The cordless phone won't work without power so my son had to dig out the rotary so I could report it. We have one working light and several non-working lights and I remembered seeing batteries and lights at the check-out and thinking I should get some of those! So, I'm holding the phone, trying to make out the phone number and dialing at the same time! The lady at the power co couldn't give me an estimate of how long it would take. Seems there were lots of people in the same boat we were in! That's always good news--NOT! I knew we might be in for a long wait since we were basically by ourselves. We did have a battery operated radio but because they were changing the tvs from analog, we couldn't pick up the tv station on it anymore.

As it got later and we hadn't seen any trucks, repair work seemed to be a long way off! I tried to go to sleep but kept waking up, so around 4 or 5 am I got dressed and went in search of a new battery and a flashlight. I was even thinking about which motel would be a good bet for that night. I had just read about the housekeeper who told all in an article about how sometimes they have to hurry and might only wipe out the sink and just flush the toilet! Yuk! I found a new battery and got a new flashlight (wonder how long we'll have this one?) and went home to try to take a nap.

Still no power, so I proceeded to nap and around 1 pm my son woke me up saying the power repair guys were on our street! It was raining and windy but they got our power on! Yay for the guys who come out in that kind of weather to bring alittle light into your life! We found out later that there were around 100,000 houses without power! We were without for 15 hours but it could've been alot worse!

I know one thing, I was not meant to be a pioneer woman!

Telemarketers

2009-06-15T06:12:00.001-05:00

If you haven't read about the telemarketers that make those awful car warranty calls, you need to read this article! Unbelieveably, they've made 10 million smackers doing this! I seriously doubt this little bump in the road will slow them down much.

I have caller ID and when I see what looks like a telemarketer, I don't even answer the phone. I signed up for the 'do not call' list long ago but it seems to be overlooked, now. < sigh>

Did I mention I can't stand these jerks? I feel the same way about all the spam I get on a daily basis!

People In Glass Houses....

2009-06-11T10:13:00.002-05:00

Letterman has become a sleazebag! He really needs to retire! He seems to be having a memory problem--he forgot all about having his son out-of-wedlock and not marrying the mother for 4-5 years. Big memory lapse! He can't claim being young and impetuous either. He was in his late 50's and old enough to know better.

The comments about Palin and her family are far from funny---they're tiresome! Just like Dave's show. It was funny this week, one time, to hear Julia Roberts kissing up and telling Dave that he was the funniest late night host! HA He can have her come on every night, doesn't matter. He's still not funny any more. CBS was conned when they renewed his contract. Rip off!

I used to love Letterman years ago, but haven't watched in over a decade now. I watch sometimes just to see if he's funny again, but I'm always disappointed. Poor, sad Dave.

Daniel Gabriel Watson, Murderer

2009-06-08T09:32:00.006-05:00

[YouTube link]

Hard to imagine someone killing their newlywed spouse on their honeymoon, but that is exactly what this creep did.

When I first heard this story in 2003, I thought it must've been an accident but no, it wasn't. They were on their honeymoon in Australia and were on a dive at the Great Barrier Reef. He swam to the boat to seek "help" although he had training as a rescuer himself. He had left his wife of eleven days on the bottom of the ocean. No better love, huh. Gabe didn't realize that another diver had seen him giving his wife a bear hug (at which time he most likely turned her oxygen off!) and letting her body drift to the bottom. Can you imagine being face to face with your new spouse and knowing that they were killing you? Why? Insurance money. How sad is that?

At first, he was allowed to come home (AL) but the case was not forgotten and finally, he was brought back to Australia for a trial. He pled guilty of not helping his wife and received FOUR years! Of that, He'll only serve ONE year for murder which is really what it was. A trial could've brought him a life sentence--but one year?! He had to have planned this well ahead of the wedding. He had asked her to name him beneficiary of her life insurance and took out more insurance at the airport.

After she was buried, the flowers the family put on her grave kept disappearing so the father started bolting them down--they continued to disappear. The police put a camera in the cemetary and guess who was caught with a bolt cutter, removing them? The creepy husband!

He has already remarried--why do women marry men like this? (Drew Peterson, etc) He inherited her house and he and his "new" wife are living there. Just makes me want to barf!

I hope her family keeps up the pressure on him and they are shunned in their neighborhood.

Tina was just 26 years old.

Update" The Alabama AG has contacted the Australian authorities to review this case! Hopefully, Tina's family will get some justice after all.

When I see a photo like this, I always wonder about the soldier. What kind of horrible situations did he have to go through? And most importantly, did he make it home? They were so young!

I watched some actual film on PBS about the war and it made me cry for the men who were lost. What a horrible experience at such a tender age. At any age, really.

Remember to keep our troops in your prayers.

The mother is the patient--the fetus is the PROBLEM.
George Tiller

I watched a graphic video abour Dr. Tiller's job. Hard to look at tiny humans torn into pieces. He did that everyday!

There was an attempted abortion where he missed the heart with an injection but managed to go through the head twice. The baby girl was born alive but blind. She lived for five years before dying from the attempted abortion.

I feel sorry for his family but I'm having trouble working up sympathy for him.

Is The Media in Love With BHO?

Well, D'uh!!

This is a good article about this very subject. It's sickening how much fawning goes on all the time!

Update: I didn't watch the love fest by NBC last night with Brian Williams and BHO. My stomach couldn't take it! I saw a video of Brian telling Barry good-night and instead of kissing him, he bowed his head while shaking his hand! Barf! I'm sure there was some intense looking into Barry's eyes. Oh, I made myself sick to my stomach!

Is everyone in the MSM gutless?

Family Ties That Bind

2009-05-29T08:07:00.001-05:00

Barry's uncle has his own opinion about his upcoming trip to Buchenwald. He wouldn't mind going along but hasn't been invited. Guess the telepromters take up too much room!

He's the uncle that Barry said helped to liberate Buchenwald . Problem was, he never discussed it with said uncle or he would've known it was a subcamp that he helped liberate. Seems Barry's parents liked to embelish stories they told. I guess you could also say after you lie about something, the truth gets lost. Anyway, they aren't close but do chat if they're in the same room.

And there's definitely no shame in liberating a smaller death camp. His descripotion of it is terrible, as expected. He did an interview for a German magazine.

As Arte Johnson on Laugh-In used to say...veery interesting!

JT on Survivor

2009-05-17T10:58:00.002-05:00

When Survivor first started, I watched from beginning to end but after a few seasons, I lost interest. It may have been the gross things they had to eat or the fact that they had to wear the same clothes for ever how long they were where they were! Good thing we don't have smell-a-vision!

Lately, I have been watching sometimes and I got more interested when the cocky "coach" was voted off and I found out that JT was from Mobile, Alabama! He's in the final four and I hope he wins. Yeah, I root for the home team! (He's cute, too!) I assume from the ads that tonight is THE night when the winner wins so I know what I'll be doing tonight!
GO JT!

UPDATE: JT won 1 million dollars on the show and another $100,00 after being voted the most popular person on the show!

Way to go JT!

What's His Name?

2009-05-11T08:41:00.002-05:00

That's what I thought I'd be asking you today!

I saw an actor on an Law & Order show Fri night and recognized his handsome face but couldn't recall his name! I knew he had played a doc on one of those shows but couldn't come up with that either. It was annoying me like crazy!

It seemed like his name was Chris, Clint or something like that. I could see his face but the name was not to be had!

I tried Googling tv docs and numerous other things. People would talk about Dr Welby, Dr Kildare, Dr Casey, etc, etc, but no mention of this guy! I thought I was doomed to never come up with his name when after a long time someone mentioned CHAD EVERETT! Finally, relief!

He's still a looker with his mostly gray hair!

After all of this, my son says oh, you should've just clicked on tv.com! My response was oh, if you value your life you better run away as fast as you can!! Smarty pants! ;)

Happy Mother's Day

New Flavor at Baskin Robbins

2009-05-05T22:45:00.002-05:00

In honor of the 44th President of the United States, Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream has issued a new flavor, "Barocky Road".

Barocky Road is a blend of half Vanilla, half Chocolate, and surrounded by Nuts and Flakes.

The Vanilla portion of the mix is not openly advertised and usually denied as an ingredient.

The Nuts and Flakes are all very bitter and hard to swallow.

The cost is $100.00 per scoop.

When purchased it will be presented to you in a large beautiful cone, but then the Ice Cream is taken away and given to the person in line behind you..

Thus you are left with an empty Wallet, no change, holding an empty cone, with no hope of getting any Ice Cream.

Aren't you feeling stimulated?

Thanks to Lynn

Silky Under Investigation

Yes, that's right boys and girls, Silky Edwards is being investigated for spending campaign funds on his baby's momma and then lying about it being for furniture! What an imagination! Actually, I think it was Elizabeth who called her "furniture". I can think of a lot worse things she could've called her!

Poor Silky. One day he's getting $600 haircuts and now, he can't catch a break.

UPDATE: The baby's momma has a lawyer and wants a paternity test. Guess she didn't like what Elizabeth had to say about her in her book and on Oprah. Her name was not to be mentioned and she seduced John, poor thing. Elizabeth seems to want to believe they only had sex once. Poor Elizabeth. She only wanted John to be faithful to her. That's all she wanted!

Elizabeth, sweetie, put a pillow over his face when he goes to sleep! Haalp is on the waaay! (JK)

Yom Hashoah

2009-04-21T08:09:00.001-05:00

April 21 is the Day of Remebrance for the Holocaust when 6 million Jews and others were killed by the Nazis. It doesn't fall on the same day every year because it's based on the Hebrew calendar.

http://www.ushmm.org/tribute/followup/

This is just one of many sites you can find on Google.

Sorry I don't have much time to spend on this right now. I feel like we should all remember the Holocaust, especially with people like the little midget in Iran.

How Low Can He Bow?

2009-04-05T08:59:00.002-05:00

Recognize the butt sticking up from the deep knee bow? That would be the man who keeps telling us he won the election, almost on his knees to the king of Saudi Arabia. There was some question as to whether or not he was kissing his ring. The king seems amused.

Have you heard anything about this in the MSM? All I've heard is a lot of crickets chirping. I found it on Hot Air.

This is the non-muslim president making a fool of himself!

UPDATE: White House: Bow? What bow? Well, well, well! Someone finally asked about the bow and the White House is now DENYING it happened! Hot Air has the video up and you can plainly see that Barry IS doing a deep bow to the king.

Also check out the clever post that Basil did about this.

Medal of Honor Day

2009-03-26T09:47:00.001-05:00

That was actually yesterday but I'm just now getting around to it.
Did you see retired Col Robert Howard on the news? He helped Barry and some other old soldiers put a wreath on the tomb of the unknown. During a 13 month period in Viet Nam he was recommended for the Medal of Honor three times. The first two times it was reduced down to a lesser medal, but the third time he was given the Medal of Honor. He was shot numerous times but survived all of it. He's retired, now, and goes to Iraq to help train the soldiers there.
One of the amazing people walking on the face of the earth!

Spring Has Sprung..

2009-03-20T13:52:00.001-05:00

and stingers have stung and I have a fevah!

We may yet have more cool weather--we've had snow in April before! But I am looking forward to some warm, breezy days! Of course, with spring comes tornadoes, unfortunately. We'll just have to hope we survive! Other than that, it's my favorite time of year. Well, pollen can be rough, but everything else is great. Oh, I forgot about the bugs! They're not so nice with the biting and stinging! But otherwise, spring is great!

I bet you like it, too! (Look out for that wasp!)

Speaking of wasps: When I was about ten I came up to spend some time with my aunt, uncle and two cousins and we went to their "country" house for the day. Actually, it was a small frame house. I think my aunt might've planted some vegetables there or we were supposed to clean up the yard.What we were doing is chasing each other around and around the house! I would love to have some of that energy back! I'm not sure we saw the wasps' nest up in the corner of the porch, loaded for action! When we got to the back, we'd hop onto the porch and one of those times the wasps decided they'd had enough and covered me! I was busy trying to knock them off and only being partially successful at it! When it was over, we counted 13 sting marks. The one on my arm closed to my elbow got to stay on the longest and it left a very visible scar for quite some time. My aunt sent my cousins next door for some ice and I think I spend the rest of the day shivering under ice.

You have to watch out for the stingers!

If a tree falls....

2009-03-18T09:23:00.001-05:00

Last week-end, we had a whole lotta rain! Not for 40 days but all week-end with only a little let up on Sunday. At the end of 2 days worth, we heard the loud noise that sounded like some weird thunder--even though we had not been having any before. My son said it might've been a tree and I agreed. We have a forest behind us and we've heard a tree or two fall since we've lived here but it's been awhile! We turned on the outside lights but with all the rain, we couldn't see much. The next day it was still raining and very cloudy and we still couldn't see much. The sun finally came out on Tues and we saw that there was indeed a new tree laying on the floor of the forest. It wasn't as big as it sounded--it shook the ground. Just glad it was far enough away that we weren't in danger. I've always been afraid that the huge tree that is closest to us might decide to fall and ruin our day..and week. Actually, it could be deadly.

I've been looking at houses online for the past few months and may I say--I'm sick of it! If you're trying to sell your house, why don't you put pictures up so people know what it looks like? I'm not ready to talk to agents, yet, so when a house doesn't have pictures posted I don't look at it any more. I have never seen so many dark, dark red rooms. Is there anything you can paint over that that it wouldn't show through? And who wants to move and then paint? Not me!

If I sound like a crazy person, I may be! I'd like to get this move over and I'd very much like for my foot to heal!!

An Awww Story

2009-03-13T06:15:00.001-05:00

SPOKANE, Wash. – The mysterious mewing in Vickie Mendenhall's home started about the time she bought a used couch for $27. After days of searching for the source of the noise, she found a very hungry calico cat living in her sofa.

Her boyfriend, Chris Lund, was watching TV on Tuesday night and felt something move inside the couch. He pulled it away from the wall, lifted it up and there was the cat, which apparently crawled through a small hole on the underside.

Mendenhall contacted Value Village, where she bought the couch, but the store had no information on who donated it. So she took the cat to SpokAnimal CARE, the animal shelter where she works, so it could recover, and contacted media outlets in hopes of finding the owner.

Sure enough, Bob Killion of Spokane showed up to claim the cat on Thursday after an acquaintance alerted him to a TV story about it. Killion had donated a couch on Feb. 19, and his 9-year-old cat, Callie, disappeared at about the same time.

Poor Nancy Pelosi can't or doesn't want to pay for her airline tickets so she has the Air Force flying her around. Of course, you know who's paying for all this--the taxpayers! It costs twice as much as it would for her and her party ro fly commercial but then they'd have to go through airports and mingle with the common people. Well, Nancy is just too special for that! She even had the gall to ask for a bigger plane and then lied when asked about it.

A lyin' politician. Imagine that! I guess she was too shy to tell them what a special, valued person she was. Right.

Kennedy Needs Us to Pay for A Bldg

2009-03-02T10:33:00.001-06:00

Someone should tell Ted "fat cat" Kennedy that if he can't afford to pay $5.8 MILLION for his little building--more like a momument to himself--then he doesn't need it! Maybe the people in Massachusetts who were dumb enough to keep electing him would want to pay for it. I doubt most Americans care if he has one or not! Do you think he's planning a special section for Mary Jo?

Rain and Other Things

Rain, rain, go away! Heavy rain ALL day and night, complete with lightning and tornado warnings and at least one tornado! Nothing on local tv stations but weather stuff. And what's coming tonight? Snow, of course! Where the heck is spring? Hurry it up!

I had to renew my very expensive anti-biotic. Since I got it from the ER the dr I usually see said she couldn't renew it. I've been to her before with the same problem! Sheesh. So I had to go to the office and sit amongst the hackers and snot filled to get my renewal! I tried not to sit near anyone! There was a couple there busily popping their knuckles. He was trying to teach her how. Can you say annoying?

When the dr looked at my foot she told me I was going to lose it. Okay, don't bother being vague! I told her it was looking better--I can almost see my ankle bones. She gave me a new prescription for the same pill but the pharmacy was closed by that time. I'm hoping that another dose will finally chase this infection out and away!

I also hope to still be in posession of my foot and toe! And I don't mean in a glass container!

It seems a family whose teens were sharing files to swap music videos with their friends unknowingly let some theives into their computer that way and their information was sold to more theives. Really nasty. Your information, including ss# can go around the world.

Google the Today Show and look for a video about it.

Was that the sound of bags being packed I just heard? You can't
just show up with a can of paint and a paint brush! And no, stick figures do not count! You must have talent!

The women march in the parade and also spend time in "luxury" boxes with people. You are allowed to gawk but wear a bib if you drool easily! The girls do not appreciate the more frisky gawkers who cannot look without touching! They earn $250 for letting people gawk.

Not enough money, girls!

This Little Piggie..

2009-02-16T09:40:00.001-06:00

This is not a pretty story, so if you are delicate you might want to skip it! I've had a problem with my right foot for a year now. When you are diabetic that's the way life goes. Things heal slowly and the further down your body, the slower! Instead of taking care of the infection like I usually did, I let it get a good start before I got busy trying to get rid of it. Bad on me! I was given a strong anti-biotic that did not like me and did awful things--like make me throw up, almost pass out and put a rash on the lower part of my leg and because I had on cropped pants, turned it red and made it feel really bad! I had to stop taking that and was put on a different anti-biotic. My ankle was about the size of a softball and my foot was larger than the left one. My leg turning red was the result of my going outside for awhikle--standing under a tree part of the time. It felt like a burn and has stayed that way since last summer! It can also itch intensely to the point where I have to scratch it or run in circles! It hurts to do it and just drives me wild!

I have spent several hundred dollars trying to heal all of this without success. I kept thinking after I finished the anti-biotics that it would get better. Nope. Saturday night I was in a itching mode with the thought that I didn't care if I bled to death, I was scratching! Well, my reward for this was that I started getting pain across my foot that felt like nerve pain and I couldn't tolerate it after an hour. I was having such sharp pain, I was in tears. Usually, I tolerate pain pretty well, but this was unbearable. I tried taking tylenol but it had no effect. After over an hour of this, I decided I was going to have to drive myself to Shelby whateverit'scalled to have someone look at it and give me something for pain!

I made it there and, of course, my foot stopped hurting before I could be seen! I decided since I was there I'd have a dr look at it and see if he said anything I hadn't heard before. So began the long process of an ER visit at 1 am. I wasn't alone but I'm sure the ER at UAB was filled. You fill out papers and then sit and wait..and wait. Just as I was beginning to think I could make it to Mon, I was put in an exam room. There was a tv up in the corner and guess what was on--infomercials. One after another! No way to turn it off, mute it or unplug it! Cruel and unusual punishment!

Everytime I considered leaving, there would be noise in the hallway. I think they do that just to fake you off and think they're on the way in! A nurse came in and filled out more papers and left. Hours later, a young dr popped in for about 5 mins tops! He looked at my foot and said I needed some anti-biotics and if we couldn't get the infection out, I might lose my toe. Well, the next dr that tells me that might get a knee to the groin, too! I just wanted to scream, I know that! Tell me when it's about to happen, not every other trip to the dr's!

So I paid my bill and put my infected toe in my car and at 5 am, drove home! Oh, I did take a very strong anti-biotic before I left and he gave me a prescription for that and pain. I hope this very strong, very expensive (good thing I don't faint) pill works some magic. I'd like to hang on to my toe and I'm very tired of this drama!

I wonder what the foot would look like without a big toe? Not that I really want to know!

Barry's Faithful

2009-02-11T22:42:00.002-06:00

Did you notice the other day while Barry was on his Come Adore Me tour--my title--the woman who asked for a house? Very politely. She and her son are living in a car, so you can see how a house might be better! I noticed the woman next to her looked like she might faint when Barry came over and offered his hand. (to be kissed, for sure) Hot Air had the video up and said she mouthed the words, I love you, Barack! (Who's watching the nut house nowadays?)

After the adoration, a woman in the audience (Republican) offered the woman a house for 3 mos, free of rent. What was her answer? SHE'D HAVE TO SEE IT FIRST! You're living in a car but you'll have to see the house before you jump, er, drag your feet over! One of the comments was that she should hurry to his next town hall meeting--she'll need furniture!

When the laptop took a dive in early Nov, I had less than 20,000 hits. Suddenly, I started getting more hits than I could keep up with--especially without a computer! The interest causing this avalanche of hits was a picture I'd posted of Tom Welling a year ago at a baseball game with a beard and longish hair. This went on for a couple of months and then it was like a faucet had been turned off! I did a google check and the same picture was now on someone else's web site. Interesting. It ran my sitemeter up to 43,ooo hits.

I started watching Smallville with my son some time ago. Didn't take too long to notice how smokin' hot Tom was!

He has fans around the world. My sitemeter had all kinds of flags popping up!

Tom just finished another Jesse Stone movie for tv. It should be out pretty soon. Looking forward to it!

He has also been named as the Education Center Spokesman for the Vietnam Vets Memorial Fund to raise money for a new education center on the mall in Washington, DC. He, and some otherr celebrities, will be making public service messages soon.

He served in Vietnam with the infantry of the 160th CA National Guard and the name of a friend of his is on the wall in Washington, DC. Magnum PI was considered one of the first shows to show vets in a positive light. Wish I could find a picture of him in that white naval uniform! Makes you want to stand at attention and salute!

This is what the stimulus bill contains:

We've looked it over, and even we can't quite believe it. There's $1 billion for Amtrak, the federal railroad that hasn't turned a profit in 40 years; $2 billion for child-care subsidies; $50 million for that great engine of job creation, the National Endowment for the Arts; $400 million for global-warming research and another $2.4 billion for carbon-capture demonstration projects. There's even $650 million on top of the billions already doled out to pay for digital TV conversion coupons

Heaven help us!

The Last Uncle

2009-01-23T08:06:00.001-06:00

My last remaining uncle has departed the earth after a long battle with cancer. He had to have part of his lower face removed but refused to give up smoking. When he smoked it would upset his youngest daughter so much she'd have to leave the room.

He was the youngest of four brothers and three sisters. Some interesting facts about him--while a student at UA he worked at the funeral home and I think he lived upstairs sometimes. He delivered his second child at home. They didn't plan it that way but the baby came too fast! That was the talk in our family for a long time. In his later years, he got interested in genealogy and did a lot of research on our family. He had two books published about it. I am also interested in that and am thankful he spent so much time on it.

He was divorced after a long marriage and had four kids. I remember coming up to Birmingham when I was about 10 to go to their wedding which was a bigger than usual affair because his wife's sister also got married that day in a double wedding.

Sad to see the family shrinking in size.

In a local restaurant my server had on an "Obama 08" tie. I laughed as he had given away his political preference - just imagine the coincidence.

When the bill came I decided not to tip the server and explained to him that I was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept. He stood there in disbelief while I told him I was going to redistribute his tip to someone who I deemed more in need - the homeless guy outside. The waiter angrily stormed from my sight.

I went outside, gave the homeless guy $10 and told him to thank the server inside as I've decided he could use the money more. The homeless guy was very grateful.

At the end of my rather unscientific redistribution experiment, I realized the homeless guy was grateful for the money he did not earn, but the waiter was very angry that I gave away the money he did earn even though the actual recipient deserved the money more.

I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application.

And government can't understand why the majority of US Taxpayer s feel like the waiter in this story...I figured the waiter would be overjoyed to have his money taken without his permission, given to help someone he did not know or choose but who was deemed to be more in need than he was...guess I was wrong!

Never Mind Them Watermelons
retold by
S. E. Schlosser

Listen to the story (4.3 mb download)

Well now, old Sam Gibb, he didn't believe in ghosts. Not one bit. Everyone in town knew the old log cabin back in the woods was haunted, but Sam Gibb just laughed whenever folks talked about it. Finally, the blacksmith dared Sam Gibb to spend the night in the haunted log cabin. If he stayed there until dawn, the blacksmith would buy him a whole cartload of watermelons. Sam was delighted. Watermelon was Sam's absolute favorite fruit. He accepted the dare at once, packed some matches and his pipe, and went right over to the log cabin to spend the night.

Sam went into the old log cabin, started a fire, lit his pipe, and settled into a rickety old chair with yesterday's newspaper. As he was reading, he heard a creaking sound. Looking up, he saw that a gnarled little creature with glowing red eyes had taken the seat beside him. It had a long, forked tail, two horns on its head, claws at the ends of its hands, and sharp teeth that poked right through its large lips.

"There ain't nobody here tonight except you and me," the creature said to old Sam Gibb. It had a voice like the hiss of flames. Sam's heart nearly stopped with fright. He leapt to his feet.

"There ain't going to be nobody here but you in a minute," Sam Gibb told the gnarled creature. He leapt straight for the nearest exit - which happened to be the window - and hi-tailed it down the lane lickety-split. He ran so fast he overtook two rabbits being chased by a coyote. But it wasn't long before he heard the pounding of little hooves, and the gnarled creature with the red eyes caught up with him.

"You're making pretty good speed for an old man," said the creature to old Sam Gibb.

"Oh, I can run much faster than this," Sam Gibb told it. He took off like a bolt of lightning, leaving the gnarled creature in the dust. As he ran passed the smithy, the blacksmith came flying out of the forge to see what was wrong.

"Never mind about them watermelons," Sam Gibb shouted to the blacksmith without breaking his stride.

Old Sam Gibb ran all the way home and hid under his bed for the rest of the night. After that, he was a firm believer in ghosts and spooks, and he refused to go anywhere near the old cabin in the woods.

Biden's Crystal Ball

2008-10-20T07:04:00.001-05:00

“Mark my words,” the Democratic vice presidential nominee warned at the second of his two Seattle fundraisers Sunday. “It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We’re about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don’t remember anything else I said. Watch, we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.”

Jeb Bush, the younger brother of President George W Bush, has dismissed Oliver Stone's portrayal of his family in the biopic W as "hooey" and questioned why the director did not seek to interview him or other relatives as part of his research

http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/w-is-an-insult-to-62-million-voters/

There is a review of the so-called movie, W, that says exactly what you thought--lousy! Funny how this crap is released just at election time, isn't it? It should be put in the toilet!

It wouldn't surprise me if it was an Oscar nominee. That's just the way Hollyweird operates.

Marcia, Marcia, MARCIA!!

2008-10-15T09:53:00.001-05:00

TV star of the Brady Bunch, Maureen McCormick, has written a book called, Here's The Story and it isn't pretty! As she says, her life was nothing like Marcia Brady's!

In real-life, her grandmother died in a mental institution with a sexual disease. She thought she would die the same way when she was young. She had two abortions along the way and was heavily into drugs. She would spend days locked in a room with her boyfriend doing drugs and even traded sex for drugs.

She did not have sex with Greg or Jan. WTH?! There was no mention of Alice or the dog! (Sorry!) Good grief!

She cleaned up her life and now lives with her 19 yr old daughter and husband.

Whew--I'd hate to have to try to explain all that to my family!

Did you see the video of a TMZ reporter interviewing Katie Couric about her interview with Sarah Palin--the one where she asked her insipid question about newspapers and magazines? Wasn't it cute the way Katie mocked Gov Palin's answer? Oh yeah, lots of fair and balanced there! Someone should give Katie a clue--she has 5 kids, a husband and is governor of a state and she's most likely like the rest of us who read news on the internet!

I almost wish she had said she reads The National Enquirer! I mean if they're going to talk about you anyway, give 'em something to talk about! Can you imagine the look on Katie's face? Priceless!

I saw one by P Diddy that looked clever. It was him in a dark room with just a flashlight under his chin, talking about how scared he was of Sarah Palin! Ooooo, me too! He was showing Katie's impressive interview so I stopped watching right there! Besides, it was scaring me just seeing P's massive lips flapping in the breeze! Hard to tell which is bigger--his ego or his mouth!

Shouldn't he be in prison for shooting someone when he was dating Jennifer Lopez?

Then there was Alec Baldwin making fun of Palin's accent. I wonder how his little "piggie" is doing now?

Madonna, the skankiest of the skanks, is using her no talent concerts to put down Palin. Consider the source! Go back to England, skank!

One of the funniest was Bridgette Bardot--I thought she was DEAD!! How many furs has she worn in her lifetime?!

Cybil Sheppard, who's only claim to fame is having sex with Elvis, doesn't like Palin because she's against abortions! I don't understand the people who are for abortions but don't you dare try to execute a murderer!

And then there are the ones of kids singing like little brain washed zombies!

There's more and they all have one thing in common--BORING!

There's a good post about how Sarah is treated by the media at:

Spc Joe Gibson

2008-10-06T06:41:00.001-05:00

Please go to Blackfive and read about Ranger Spc Joe Gibson(http://www.blackfive.net/main/2008/10/specialist-joe.htmlpc) and how he got the Silver Medal. One of the things he had to do was hand to hand combat with a terrorist he stepped on in the dark during a secret mission in Iraq. A terrorist who was ready to kill him by several means but who he overcame physically.

Its the kind of story that gives you chills! If it was a movie, you'd stand up and cheer at the end!

75th Ranger Regiment Soldier awarded Silver Star
By Staff Sgt. Andrew Kosterman
1st Special Forces Group (Airborne)

FORT LEWIS, Wash. (USASOC News Service, Sept. 27, 2008) – What began as a mission to find and eliminate terrorists earlier this year in Iraq ended up being a life-defining moment for one member of 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment.

The bad guy not only had a gun on SPC Gibson that he was ready to fire, he knocked off his night goggles and was trying to light up his sucide vest when SPC Gibson knocked him out, got his gun and shot him!

Did you watch the debate? What did you think?

I thought Gov Palin did great! And I'm sure lots of lefties were expecting her to fall on her face! I was hoping she would smack Biden if he said George Bush again after repeating his name numerous times in a row!

Oh, and btw, the playing field was not level--Sarah was wearing heels!

Last night was the first of the new show. I tried to watch it but kept dozing off and finally fell asleep until it was over! Wasn't the show, it was me. Not enough sleep the night before. So, I'm not sure who's on nor what happened! There seemed to be some assertive (bossy) people involved.

Maybe next week I won't be sleepy!

Letterman's Hissy

2008-09-26T03:46:00.002-05:00

I used to like David Letterman. I watched him for years. Several years ago I stopped liking him. I frankly thought he had lost his ability to be funny--much like SNL. I would watch occassionally and then I basically stopped watching more than I watched. I found him irritating and didn't care for the red headed guy or Paul either.

I tuned in last night to see what he had to say about McCain not coming on his little tv show. Kinda sad to watch a man in his 60's going on and on about someone not coming on his show, etc. I don't know why McCain would want to go on his not so funny show after all the age jokes he's done, which is funny coming from another not so young man!

He also had the queen of the sluts, Paris Hilton on. I didn't watch that part of his little tv show so I don't know how she contributed to soothing his massive ego!

Weeks ago, he was making fun of Gov. Palin's daughter being pregnant. Guess he forgot he has a son with a woman he has not married.

Not funny anymore, Dave. You really need to retire.

Obama/Clinton?

On PBS the other night they were talking to different people about this date and said that it was a woman's birthday that day and her husband died in the WTC. His body was never found but his Jag was and the trunk was undamaged. When it was opened there was a birthday gift from her husband with a wilted rose on top. So many sad, sad stories!

Nigerian Real Estate Scammers

2008-09-09T14:47:00.001-05:00

The Today Show had a segment on the fraud the Nigerians are hoping people will fall for and send them money. One couple send over $2000 and got a key in the mail that, of course, didn't open the door to the house they were interested in! Rotten Nigerians!

You can google a phrase "due to my tranfer that makes me" and find LOTS of similar stories! Rotten Nigerians!

I keep thinking I 'm going to write about his story but I just don't have time with moving time approaching!

Flag of Our Fathers

2008-09-06T17:11:00.001-05:00

Whenever I send a care package to a new soldier on my list, I include a small American flag. I found some flags on sale that were alittle larger and bought as many as I could and have included them this year. I bought a full size flag to send to a soldier who lost his leg and requested to return to Iraq. We always put a flag on their coffins and I think they deserve them while they are alive and serving. So I found the following story about what the Dimwits did with all the flags they were waving at their convention disgusting!

Were they recycled, given to schools, to hospitals, etc? No, they were trashed!

Go Away Fay!

2008-08-26T08:24:00.001-05:00

Are you getting your share of rain from the storm called Fay? I ask 'cause it sure seems like we're getting more than our share! Our power was off for about half a night Sat-Sun and we discovered that we were out of candles, matches and our rechargeable light didn't want to work! We were stuck with a flashlight with weak batteries and the weather radio. Better than nothing but a pain nonetheless!

The phone doesn't work without power and I lost my cell phone so we dug out a rotary phone to call the power company. We are the only ones on this line so I knew it wouldn't be reported otherwise. At daylight I attempted to call the operator with the thought that she could connect me with AP. HA-HA I barely got out what the problem was before she disconnected me with a I'll connect you to 411. This happened 5 times before I gave up with the urge to do bodily harm to the operator!

After I tried dialing the AP number and it not working, I gave up. Finally, my son got the number to ring and we got it reported! Could've been worse, I know. But it sure was aggravating!
