not an ‘unbirthday’ today
If you don’t remember Alice and the Mad Hatter…an ‘unbirthday’ won’t mean much, however, I am an oldie now…..today is number 68…..and it is not an ‘unbirthday’…..One has 364 ‘unbirthdays’ and one birthday, according to the Mad Hatter, and today is mine.
The joke (if one wants to call it that), is that I can hardly believe I am married to someone 70 years old…..and I am sure he is having some thoughts about being married to someone 68. Age is ageless……and so is love, thank goodness. I didn’t believe that when my parents told me that being 70 and 60 and 50 is just like being “……..” For me the “……” is about 32.
Anyhow, thanks one and all for those who remembered this day. I wish you all the happiest of days….both ‘unbirth’ and ‘birth’…….. later
FRIDAYS CHIPS
Have you tried the new chips from Fridays…..available, of course at Costco? Oh, HIDE THE BAG FROM ME!!! cause they are so good (and so bad) ….
more…..rats, norwegian, that is
ah, the rat man cometh and me thinks the rat man thinks, he taketh away. I do enjoy Clarence….heck of a nice guy and he is doing is best, so I’m here to recommend him and have some fun too.
Some body and I mean ‘some body’ has been living, exercising, renting, or subletting an area of our attic for a few years now. I think they are retired, maybe just passing thru from one neighborhood to the next. Who knows…
There are no little ‘bodies’ that I know of, and most of the time they are quiet tenants, however, lately all has not been well. They have decided to scratch…either themselves, or a friend, or some wood, or insulation, I don’t know, but they are becoming too noisy for the neighborhood (my house).
Clarence came and set traps and has checked regularly for dead ‘bodies’, to no avail. He also plugged up areas where experienced rodents might want to get in. We thought things were going extremely well, until about 3AM this AM.
First hubby woke up, then he paced, then kitty woke up, then he paced…he also had some crunchies, and then I woke up. By then the activity in my bedroom was as busy as was whoever was in the attic. We listened, we whispered, we listened, and then a decision was made (no we didn’t call Clarence). Hubby, the hunter took his binoculars and his flashlight and went out to survey the roof of our bedroom. He flashed here and there. He ‘binoculed’ here and there, but nothing was seen. I watched and listened from the ‘inside’ and his light didn’t seem to bother our guest or guests. They kept scratching, and banging around as tho it was mid-day.
So the hunter returned to bed, the cat returned to bed, and I followed. Finally, around 4:30AM, the guest upstairs finally died, withered, got sick, gave up, was hit by his/her spouse, ate enough, or just left. At 4:30AM in the AM who really cares.
Clarence was called about 8:30 for an afternoon ‘check’….it is now 3:15 and no Clarence, therefore, no check. Maybe Clarence melted in our ‘first rain of the season’….(previous blogs today).
Rats!!!!!!
AT&T ad
has anyone ever seen an ad so bad……I don’t know which is the worst….him for even thinking of marrying her, or the wife, who is a first class man hurter (as she stands triming her begonias, or whatever). Let’s face it, he probably made the money for her to have the beautiful environment to grow her flowers. AT&T should be ashamed of themselves and remove the ad ASAP. I thought I was the only one who was insulted until 3 of my friends mentioned it when they saw it on TV.
While you are taking your customer’s money and charging them ‘extra charges’ just because you can……please allow them the simple pleasure of at least a chuckle now and then. Better yet, give them good service…
You are so bad!!
post office vs magazines
guess what!!!! No, I’m serious, guess what SOME magazines (who are thinking) are doing……I just found out about this!!! They actually acknowledge that you might leave your home from time to time…like some retirees do, like being a snowbird AND SO THEY SEND YOUR MAGAZINES TO YOU…FOR THE SEASON!!!
Can you imagine that someone brought that up in a big big meeting and, even more, some other person/persons with common knowledge, decided it was a good idea! I am shocked and amazed. Mind you that many other magazines do not offer this fabulous situation and expect you to stay at home forever, just to get the mail………and WHO do you think is at the forefront of this splendid idea……..hold on,…you won’t belive it…..AARP. Yes, it’s us old people who are putting 2 and 2 together when it comes to reading magazines and not websites every day…..Dang, I am impressed!!!!
Now, if the Post Office would just realize it is their job to send me mail, no matter what it is, in a timely manner, when I give them a change of address, all will be in order here on earth!
numb—not dumb
visited the ever-so friendly dentist this morning. A 1995 crown couldn’t stand the strain anymore and so it left me about 6 months ago. Now I was in Florida at the time and since it didn’t hurt, I didn’t care. Lady Luck smiled upon me and so I spent the past months not even thinking about a dent in my mouth. Well, knowing that she (Lady Luck) was probably being spread thin with the Libya, and 5.9 earthquake this morning, I decided it was a good time to ‘get er done’.
Okay, now I knew it wasn’t going to be a party, however, with todays stuff, it wasn’t going to be too painful either, just bothersome in my so-so busy life of retirement. Surprise! Surprise!, not only did they fix me up in 2 hours, they really fixed me up……I walked out with a new crown…..done, finished, no come back, complete!!! I was and am still impressed!
The joke is usually on me and it was today too, cause the office told me they had been doing this for about 5 years! However, I didn’t feel too dumb because I had not ‘needed’ this for the past five years and do not regularly read dental magazines.
So here I am….numb but not dumb….waiting for itching and tingly to start so I can get back to normal without biting myself. (My pocket book is a little lighter too, however, I am a happy girl)
