Welcome back!

I am seriously outraged.

A woman, who knew that she was legally blind, decided to go shopping. She had her two daughters in the car with her. Oh, by the way, she also has never had a driver’s license. She decided to leave the mall, drove out into the intersection and killed a man who was on a bike run with other bikers.

She told the police officer that she didn’t see him. She hemmed and hawed about whether or not she could actually tell if the light was in her favor. She also told the office that she was legally blind.

When she went to court for this, she tried to get a lower sentence and get the court to feel sorry for her since she couldn’t see very well. The judge threw out her appeal and sent her to full trial. The jury found her guilty of manslaughter. Now, her family is trying to say that she did not get a fair trial since she is black.

I wonder just how fair the trial was for the man she killed when she broke the law and got behind the wheel of the car she was driving? Her family has offered no sorrow for the man killed, or for his family.

My computer is driving me CRAZY. *^%$^%$#()(_&%$#

If IT thinks a link is taking too long, it puts up a message that it timed out. Yeah, RIGHT…I don’t think so. IF I am working on something and it hasn’t had computer messages going back and forth, say I am typing something…it disconnects me from the internet.

Who designed this crazy stupid junk? I would dearly like to give that person some of my point of view when I get disconnected, interrupted, and in general driven crazy. I was e (*&%$) it did it again! I am beginning to HATE computer and their supposed logic boards. There is no logic to something deciding - 0n its own - to disconnect when it hasn’t been asked to.

There are a lot of different types of check out registers that can be used at a business? There bar code scanners, POS systems, and other things.

Some of these systems will automatically keep track of what is being sold, and will tell you when something needs to be restocked, and then there are other……..

In other words, blah, blah, blah into infinity. I never knew there were so many different ways that people could spend money and the retailer can keep track of what is being sold and when it should be re-ordered.

I was told, growing up that computers would help to make things easier and simpler.

DUH, I don’t think so.~~~~~~~~ That is paperwork, friends. Computers have made paperwork even more essential.

That’s right. Just the word joint.

I found out that some friends that we know, who also happen to know about vehicles, think that the constant velocity joint in our van needs some work.

My first thought was HUH? I know, I know, not very intelligent sounding. However, being told that something with that name could put our van out of commission kind of stunned me at first. Since then, I have been trying to think of someone who would be willing to work on a front wheel drive van that is from 1989.

Not very many people have volunteered the information that they might know what to do in that case. I didn’t even ask for a volunteer to do any work for free, just looked for someone who knew how and would be willing to be thought of as a mechanic in this case. Especially when I told them that the van was a Dodge, they would get this kind of distant look in their eyes and then they would kind of mumble.

I found out that Dodge likes to make their vehicles with one-of-a-kind type of nuts and bolts that need special tools. The tool would cost more that our van might be worth in money. We NEED this van however since 4 people rely on it. Some of those people have bad heart troubles, diabetes, arthritis, and other stuff going on. So, the old van is important. Now what? Still thinking……..

Yes, I did say that our planet has acne.

If you get too much oil on your face, sometimes you get acne. Well with the oil spill out in the Gulf of Mexico, we have too much oil on the surface of our planet. Therefore - acne. Right? Maybe? Maybe acne treatments reviews might help people, but I don’t think it will help in this instance.

I am just wondering how this mess will ever be cleaned up, or if it will be cleaned up. It’s bad enough that all of the oil is being wasted, but the damage that it is doing at the same time is just horrible. The lives being lost in the actual explosion, the wildlife that is being lost, the damage being done to the living of fishermen on the coast, the damage to the environment……

Is there a final answer to this mess?

I hate to think what the final answer might be.

EEEEEK !

Just checked out my primary checking account. BOUNCE ! What happened?

I have no idea. Since it is Saturday, I will have to wait until Monday to find out what went wrong. So far, every time this has happened, it has been me except for one time. An operator helped me get back some of the over limit money.

This time, I am not so sure. I have been taking that new medicine after all. More later.

When I go shopping for make-up, I have to remember which is my skin tone. I have medium skin tones. When I wear colors that are slightly cool (dusty rose, many blues) every thing is fine. I do not have eczema, thank God.

When I wear colors that are just wrong for me, I sometimes look slightly green. If I was a frog, that would be fine.

I am not a frog.

Pink, fusia, burnt orange, and similar colors make me look like death warmed over. Or in other words - NO WAY ! Many browns are acceptable for me also. I am glad that I do not like bright colors. I would look like a float in a parade with those. EWWWW

I am really concerned for my mother-in-law. She fell again today.

We got a call from the special alarm service. She wears one of those button alarms around her neck (Thank God), and had to call for help to get up again. She had spent over an hour trying to get up and waited to call.

When she finally figured out that she could not do it by herself, she pushed the button. Thank God that this service does work.

She told us that she had on a pair of socks and that her foot slipped when she was in the kitchen. We found her in the living room. She evidently scooted on her rump to make sure the door was unlocked for someone to get in. Scary.

My chin was itching, I scratched it.

Just wonderful, I had a zit. It has been so long since that happened that it caught me off guard. I do not even have any zit medicine at home right now. I can’t even remember what some of the names are -acnepril, clearasil, zits begone…whatever.

Since I was sitting in our vehicle (remember the running?), I didn’t even have the right type of mirror or supplies handy. I hope that it will disappear now and LEAVE ME ALONE. I do not need this on top of everything else.

Sorry, I sound grumpy. That’s another story.

This is what has happened so far these past two weeks:

One - our neighbor ended up in the ER and then needed someone to come in and talk to him so the doctor would know that he was acting normal. Evidently he was in such pain that he didn’t/couldn’t give much information. He was normal and explained to the doctor why he didn’t talk much.

Two - our mom fell in her apartment, hit her head and scared the begeebers out of her housekeeper. CT scans, Xrays later, she went home. She was okay.

Three - my husband had an infection in his arm that looked as if it was growing. He had played with one of our cats and had gotten a slight scratch when she had gently chewed on his arm. He is a Diabetic, has heart trouble and other stuff so that infection was a definite RED FLAG that called for immediate attention from medical personnel. He got some antibiotics after a big search for something that he wasn’t allergic to. The medicine/s that is/are usually assigned for infected cat bites, he is allergic to, to such an extent that they endanger his life.

Four - neighbor ended up in the ambulance and needed a ride home afterwards.

Five - mom was sitting in her walker as I pushed her towards her apartment. When she got the walker, we were both told that it could be used that way by her and anyone with her. This was said by the person who sold it to her. We didn’t understand why Medicare refused to reimburse her for it. We learned why that was, it collapsed when we got to the mat in front of her door. She went down backwards, hit her head on the cement threshold, got very scared, scared the begeebers out of me, her son, and the poor housekeeper, again. Both my husband and myself had to stay with her all night and wake her up every 2 hours since the back of her head was involved, just in case of further symptoms. She got through the night safely, but she was told that she needed to make an appointment to see her regular doctor because of a suspicious lump inside her head, behind her sinuses, that was found. We still do not know what it is. We will find out on Tuesday.

THAT is what has been going on for the last two weeks. EEEEK

The people in the ER actually recognized us and asked why we were there again the last 3 times.
