My Biggest Pet Peeve

is that I cant c/p in my own blog!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whats up with that??????????

Its my birthday....sigh....67 today..

The weather here in N. Fl is wet, nasty and cloudy so I was doing what I do best, nothing. Just sitting there looking around me at my junk and happened to notice my rollator walker and all the medicine bottles. I thought to myself  "This is an old person's house, what am I doing here"? Where did the "real me" go, the "me" that used to work hard and play hard? The "me" that had a family life:  a husband and a child to cook for, to laugh and joke with,  where are all the kids who used to set up tents all over my back yard to "camp out" in saftey, have our fires and cook on the tiny grills or the large one, and watch the skies at night through the big telescope mounted in the  yard?...  the beautiful and healthy gardens we ate from daily during the growing seasons, I canned, dried and froze the left over produce, my cabinats and shelves lined with jars of pickles, jellies, picalli,  butter put up in salt brine, all sorts of yummy things... my yards people from all over North/North East Florida and South Ga. drove to see and take pictures of every year....roses of every color climbing the white board fences, the house itself covered with dark red roses, the entire yard lined with Japanese flowering trees,  gardina bushes full of blooms, the huge patches of Mexican Heather...the list goes on and on, the bird sanctuary and small animal pets I and my daughter had people just loved to visit with, even knew them by their names...where is that person who fed her family, the birds, all the creatures who came to my house? That was the "real me" and now I am lost somewhere, an old woman sits in the "real me's" chair alone wondering if I took my medicine this morning or not.  And arthritis cream in the bathroom, a bench in the bath tub, mail and papers piled on the table so I dont lose them, crock pots so I dont forget the stove is on and burn the house down. Does time really steal from us like this? What happens? do we just fade away unnoticed and alone?

Part 3: When not to do it yourself!

Part 2: When not to do it yourself!

When "Not to do it yourself"

This is why ppl who dont know what they are doing should hire professional tree surgeons!!!!

Good Saturday Morning, world!

I hope this finds everyone warm, sure isnt warm here in "Sunny Florida" lol, and hope all of you a safe trip back to your homes if you are traveling. Granted ppl get killed when it isnt a holiday but those are the worst times. Seems to me ppl would want to be in their own homes on Special Days. Much safer than on the roads anyway. Strange how ppl who wouldnt smoke, drink alcohol, take drugs, eat red meat because of the cholesterol....anything that would harm their bodies and shorten their lives will still undertake a trip on the roads during the worst times of the year.

The Woe's of Christmas Day! 2009

Today was not only a dreary day for me weather wise but for some I saw through my window, it was a sad day too. They were alone, no family or friends went to see them. One such person knocked at my door and brought me a Christmas dinner of her food. I thought that was very sweet of her.
What wasnt sweet was an invite in my email to link to a guy named aadam's something or other site, I did, and my pc went hay wire. I dont have a clue as to why I sat here like a dope and followed the link to his blog he provided for me in his email but its a damn good thing I know a little about pc's and was able to get this straightened out.
I am not saying this person tried to destroy my pc on purpose but I am saying either he was running a file himself or someone was running a file against him and of course it came into my pc. I'll be on guard from now on.
I have a moron for a neighbor. She has a nice house next door to 2 vacant houses in need of some minor repairs. Kindly keep in mind she has a dog and has dog food as well as water down, also remember it is winter and most small pests do come into our homes if at all possible. She is going about taking up a petition to make the woman who owns the 2 houses tear them down. The reason? She is getting rats in her house and she's sure they are coming from the 2 vacant houses! (They probably are, dog food is a treat for them) I didnt sign it, just gave my tiny humble piece of advice: Put out traps or get a cat, get rid of the rats in her own house and forget about the other persons properties!!

Well, isnt this the pits!!

Tonight severe thunderstorms are moving in and will last throughtout the day tomorrow, (also tornadoes are expected, naturally) which is Christmas Day, 2009!! Rats!!! I werent going any place nor expecting anyone but if it was nice I intended to walk down to the lake and feed the ducks or something. Now I have to stay home plus wont be able to have my pc on. (Whine...sob...sniff, sniff..) Oh well, its much better than some are enduring. My friend in MO is having a blizzard. I used to live out on Long Island in N.Y. and saw my fair share of them.
I've had all I ever want of tornadoes also, have been in several and thought it was the end of me.

I wish the very best life has to offer to each and everyone of you in the coming new year. Sincerely, sunnydaze

Today, December 23rd, 2009

I havent done much of anything other than cook a big pot of fresh frozen black eyed peas with snaps and for lunch I fried myself some red fish. Oh yes...I did walk to the store, about 6 blocks round trip for smokes. I was hoping to hear from my daughter, she is my only child, (actually I was hoping to hear from anyone) but she hasnt contacted me since last Friday and this is Wed. She only lives about 5 or 6 miles from me at the most. She is married and has 3 children, ages 8 to 11, the 11 yr old will turn 12 Jan 12th, 2010 plus her father in law lives with them now. He is active. I dont see any of them very much. My daughter offers me a lot of reasons as to why she isnt in my life very much. To make it truthful, short and sweet she has her own life. Of course, all of our off spring does. I met a woman who told me she has 5 children and she's as alone in the world as I am. We have them, raise them, they grow up with families of their own, we grow old and if our spouses are dead or we are divorced, we grow old alone no matter how many children we have. I have worn my fingers out on this key board trying to find internet male friends in my age group for email friends only and nary one any place in the world wants to write me, not even the Prisoners who have access to pc's on certain days, lol. I have women email friends, its just I want a male input too. I know I will be back here later to add some more whining so until then.
