What season is this? Spending, camping, sales, and turkeys.

Well, that nice and all that but, the ones that I think about are those who needs some employment. I mean, having a place to sleep, eat, rest and relax is really important.

I was homeless once and it is a scary feeling. Some jobs right now are only for the season, but people needs jobs all of the time. Here is a link for philadelphia jobs. I hope that it will help someone who is loking in that area.

Keep it safe this season people, the emergency rooms do not need any more patients.

Well, it has become that time of year again.

We have been cleaning house for the semi-annual inspection. I HATE, yes I mean HATE to clean house. At the present time, we do not have a steam cleaner. Of course, a Ladybug steam cleaner would give me something nice to look at when I have to eventually do this distasteful deed.

One of the things that happened when the cleaning was being done was that I fell right on my rump. All that I could do was to sit there and wonder what happened? The last I knew I was picking something up. I leaned over from the office chair that I was sitting on and then went to lean back and sit BACK down, the chair however had other ideas. It moved on me. Let’s just say that I was very startled. I didn’t go down hard, but I was definitely surprised. One of thewonderful ladies from our church was there and was doing most of the work. She asked me if I was okay, I said yes, and then I purst out laughing. She looked at me as if I had lost it. Maybe i did, but the whole thing was really funny. I went down in slo-mo of all things. No pain was involved, just a severe loss of dignity. After a moment, she joined me in the laughing. It was truly a surprise. Of course getting back up was no simple stunt, but I got it done.

Had a look around while down there, and got some very strange looks from one of our cats. Now that cat did look at me as if I had really lost it which made me laugh harder. Oh well, it was funny.

The allergies strike again.

My husband has a list of allergies that is as long as my arm. He is allergic to medicines, foods, seasonings, and on top of it all some pollens. OY VEY

I’ve heard of allergies to peanuts, milk (he’s one of them), wheat, etc. Blueberries is the newest one. Add to that also blackberries, and AZO. I have checked out some sites for Food Allergies.

If you copy and paste these sites that I have listed, you can begin your own research on food allergies. Recognizing an allergic reaction in someone can save a life. It might even be your own. Please do not be afraid to do research.

In our 26 years of marriage, we have found that my husband is allergic to almost 30 different things so far.

He’s home, feeling better.

Her family is still trying the get him to let her back into his home, in spite of the trouble that she has caused.

My previous article explains what has been going on.

It is not over, yet, unfortunately.

Yes, I am concerned. My mother-in-law is in her 70’s. She is getting very shakey in her movements.

Recently she has gotten help from the state with a housekeeper, and a nurse who come by several times each week to help her. That is great, but I am still concerned. She is shakey enough that I find myself wondering which bathroom safety products she might need next. So far, she has a handrail attached to the tub for her to hold onto as she gets in and out. If she didn’t live in an apartment, I’d think about her getting a special tub that is more of a shower with low sides, but since it is an apartment, we are limited.

She does not want to go into a nursing home, and I do not blame her. She ended up there once when her blood sugar got out of sight. The hospital wanted her to go through re-hab to get in better shape. We keep track of her and call her and visit her often. However, we are not there in her home.

She recently got one of those necklaces that she can wear around her neck in case she falles and needs help. Thank God for that.

That might not seem very news-worthy. Our area has been having trouble with a lack of rain.

When I got up today and saw the wet sidewalks, I felt joy and happiness. It wasn’t much rain, but every little bit does help.

I heard on the news about people who had been hit with bad storms and tornadoes. I am thankful that those bad storms by-passed us. I just wish that people had not been hurt by them. Those victims need food, medicine, clothes, and shelter. In one town alone, over 300 homes were blasted off the face of the earth. Mena, Arkansas was one of those places that hit so hard. Arkansas is a state that does not have a lot of resources itself. Those people need help.

Remember the sign? Well, it is done.

It only took around a week for it to get done, and I must admit that I had fun doing it. Soon, it will be put up where others can see it.

This opportunity to have fun and do something for our little church was fun. Sometimes it can be amazing what different uses can be put to wood, paint, and a little time.

Yes, it is a sign. I am not getting all strange here.

I am making a sign for our church. I am having fun. I was able to take the information that was needed, lay out the arrangement of the information. Then I have drawn it on the wooden board.

I got ahead of myself. First I figured out what size to make it. Then when I presented with the board, I painted it white (several times in order to seal it from the weather). After that I laid out the information, talked to our pastor, drew it on the painted board and then started to pain in the words.

It will look great when it is totally finished, and I am having a blast doing this.

I live in Central Texas. An 18 wheeler crashed off of the interstate, across two ditches, across a pond, and a retaining wall. The truck ended up being launched into the air and then crashed into a hotel.

In a nearby Roomstore Outlet in Temple, Texas, the manager asked all of the employees and the residents of the hotel (after evacuation) to come into the store itself in order to stay warm. She did not have to do such a thing, but she did it any way and gave shaken people a chance to be sheltered, comfortable, and warm while the accident officials were examining the scene and the wreck.

This story is on our TV channel TV 10.1. I believe that the Roomstore manager handled this emergency with great elegance and should be commended for her mercy and thoughtfulness. this presents a show of great quality on the part of the manager.

I would not be ashamed to shop there when I need new furniture.

I’ll have a side of slaw with that, please. Oh wait what I just said doesn’t make any sense does it?

Well, I was just funning around with that. Someone I care about just got 10 years probation. Considering what he could have ended up with, that is a blessing. Now it is up to him what he does with it. He didn’t need immigration attorneys, or any fancy footwork. He just needed a second chance.

Many times today, people are not granted a second chance. Too many lives have been wasted, or lost. Our justice system is far from perfect since it is ruled by people, and for people. People are not logical critters. Sometimes emotions get in the way when the emotions are very strong. Do not get me wrong. I am not wanting people to become emotionless robots, just not so uncontrolled in their own responses. I have been blessed in that I have never had the need for legal intervention in my life. I pray that it never does become necessary. At least I realize that in our country, second chances can be gotten.
