computer crash

We all think we dont depend on our computers, I had that frame of mind, I dont use it for that much, I read my sports news, check my fav team web site for news, look at the weather, check the e-mail and then Im done.yes all of this takes about 45 min. of the day and then im done, I thought! Then it crashed and burned and i remember that i browse yahoo news, other NFL web sites, and i read a lot on this thing, and all of a sudden it was all gone. I wasnt watching football videos, not reading newa or e-mails, not keeping up with my team, It was like 1/2 of my brain had shut down, now thats just sad!yes i missed it! it was like my left arm had been cut off, I didnt use it that much but it was there when i needed it. Sooo thanks to my son im on a borrowed one, it aint exactly 2011 up dated but it lets me do what i like to do! and i will live with it untill i can update. It just goes to show ya that ya dont think about using things untill ya dont have em anymore, then ya need em! Fortunatly my bed is still here and im gonna go use it!!

the better i see you with

people take their eyes for granted, I have, most people have, ya drive, ya watch tv, ya wear glasses to watch tv or read, ya dont think about it much, We didnt either and i was having to explain to Anita what the words and pics on the tv were. Then we got it checked out trying to get her new glasses, something that comes on slowely i guess she had cataracs on both eyes, she could see her hands in front of her face in a fog! well we have 1 eye fixed, the eye surgery was great, and with 1 eye she can see how much i need to do around here, she can see the tv. I dont have to read to her anymore, and thats just 1 eye! the 2nd eye gets fixed next week, That Doc is great, when that 2nd eye is healed im in so much trouble! She is gonna see what a slob i have been around the house, so i may not be posting for a while,Ill be following orders and cleaning!, which is fine with me! Im excited for her! Oh man if i was in trouble with 1 good eye, im in deep stuff when they both work next week! I think its great tho, she wont need glasses anymore! Im excited, she is excited, my only other small problem is that she will actually be able to see the old man that kisses her goodnite, she may not like that look, but i have been re-assured that with the 1 eye she likes what she see"s, But when both eyes focus? Hummmm! I aint gonna be no Tom Hanks(she loves him) and i give her a hard time about that, and she knows im a (Jamie lee Curtis) fan, we have fun with that stuff! If Tom Hanks and Jamie lee Curtis were to make out in a movie  we would both be ticked off, Lol! Fun, We just have too much fun, we enjoy laffing!, Thats what we do! I wish everyone had as much fun as we do!, that saying from readers digest laughter is the best medicine is no joke, It works!!!!1

doggies

can ya tell blue is my fav.color? anyway dogs is the subject tonite. We use to have 3 dogs, a rat terrier mix (thinks he is a pit bull) a hairless poodle(the house dog &Anita"s guardian) and we had a shitzue i called the teddy bear because thats what he was a big old teddy bear! just wanted to hug! well he ran away, i searched and searched and never found him, as loving as he was i feel sure some faimly took him in. because i checked the pound and he never showed up there! So that left us with the rat and the poodle, now at 1 time when we had the 3 they were all brothers in arms they all sleot together at the foot of the bed, 1 big happy family! but when the teddy bear vanished something happend, the poodle and the rat became jelious for affection! each wanted to be the KING dog, they  started fighting, was it because the dog that was 30 lbs bigger than they were wasnt there any more? i dont know? they are jelious doggies, I had to put the rat terrior outside because the fights were nasty, drawing blood kill nasty! ita all jealiousy, they have both lost an eye fighting! so i had to seperate them,well the rat doggie is in the garage, he has 30 feet of rope to get to the yard and the front door, he is the alarm, i know when the mailman is here , or people walking down the street! yes he is outside but he is spoiled, he drinks ice water all summer and has a heating blanket in the winter! the poodle got the indoor job. Why? im not really sure but i believe that sparky (poodle) understands english and reads my mind, he knows when im going out on the patio, and he will not go out there unless i go! he is like a child, he does what i tell him to do with out hesitation what ever it is he just does what i say1, IM PROBABLY GONNA REGRET THIS  but i think im gonna switch em tonite, let the rat in and put sparky on the chain, wish me luck!

The Good, The Bad, & the Ugly

 The good, Anita has cataracs and caint see well but they can be fixed easily, the eye drops are being used, appts made, everything is in place! and we & she is ready to do this, the doc says she will amaized at the vision after its done.     The Bad, we were kinda dreading it especially Anita, it is eye surgery! that alone can be kinda scary. that and we have to travel 65 miles to have it done in a strange place that we haver never been to. and our over night low temps have been like 82 and highs around 107 and there is no change in the forcast for a while, so travel will be(was) on a hot day!.........The Ugly...... Ok they do 1 eye at a time, the doc says she will see great, it takes a while, the ugly part is that she had 1 eye done yesterday and she is already seeing better, the next eye in 2 weeks. why is that ugly you might ask? Well, ill tell ya,lol, Anita is starting to see things she hasnt seen in a long time, she it telling me i need to shave, when is the last time you vacumed this floor, we have 1 of those swiffer dusters ya know when is the last time you done that,are those dirty dishes in the sink? ok iv been a slacker, but now that she can see what iv slacked on i guess thats comeing to an end. thats the ugly part, my slacking days are over, every breath i take, every move i make, she is watching me,lol! I am so proud of her, and so glad she will see again!!! yea i joke but thats what i do, laughter helps ya live longer and trust me, we laff ourselves to sleep everynite, altho anita only laffs when she see"s me......... well lets not go there! this seems like a good place to wind this up!

right brain/left brain

Ok this is a hard one, but i think iv figuered it out, ill do my best to spell right but not primise! Im gonna try to figure this out, I have gotten lazy I use to tinker in the man cave all the time. I have walkie-talkies where Anita can holler at me, I dont think its a health question things are pretty much the same. Im hopeing ita just a weather heat question , it has been hot, iv looked and showed 110 in the garage in the shade, but its been to hot to tinker! so in the mean time all of my work benches that i built are covered with spider webs and i sit in the house doing nothing but watching tv with Anita! well im a guy! i was built to work and not working is effecting me. so here is the brain conversation. Right brain, from here on will be rb. rb( why aint ya out in the garage)  left brain is lb (its hot out there) rb well ya done it before) lb (yea but it wasnt 109 eithier) rb ( you use to work in a hot factory) lb (yea but i was younger) Rb (suck it up youve made promises to change oil in your friends car) lb ( yes i did and it will get done) rb (he'll be back friday expecting  it) rb ( shut up, i always keep a promise)  thats the arguement i have in my head every day, he is my buddie and ill have it done for hin but i also have tons of other stuff in the works, like catarac surgery, ya know stuff just a little more imporntant,but when he gets back ill have it done and because he is a buddie, ya know what my payoff will be? If im lucky a 6 pack! but thats fine i love workin on cars (older ones)!

pet pevees

I know, its hard to fathom that i would have 1 or 2 or, well lets stop there, Ha Ha! so i need to change the oil in the car and i i go to the local automitve parts store, i wont mention any names(o"reillys-auto zone) and ask for an oil filter well the following is the question and awnser series. what type of car?, pontiac, what year, 94, what model, bonnelville, engine size? v-6, power windows? yes power seats? yes, whats the capacity of the fuel tank? how much air is in the right front tire? the left rear tire? is there a secret compartemant in the trunk? how many times a day do you go to the bathroom? and thie typing all this crap into a computer so they can find the right size oil filter for me, so at a point I say ya know what college boy, there is a whole rack of oil filters right behind you, why dont you just turn around and hand me one and ill tell ya if it fits or not! No thats not it, I know the # on the filter i need its the ps117 jsst give me that one and he does however before he rings it up the line of questions start again because if the computer dosent recognize it, it wont let him ring it up!!! people are clueless unless they have a computer telling them what to do! so i just go to wal-mart like i should have done in the 1st place and it was quicker than 2 people in an auto parts store bedazzled by a computer! which i assume they spent most of the rest of the afternoon trying to communicate with? but that starts part 2 of pet peeves, getting the oil filter in wal-mart. yea i knew what it looked kile, i didnt have to check ##"s im a car guy, we just know! but anyway i head to the checkout, now this is a wal-mart super center, you can get a hair cut in there, have an asian girl paint your toe nails, shoot zombies in the arcade, get your pic taken, file your taxes, what  ever and their are 35 checkout lanes, except! only lane 1 and 2 and 34 and 35 are open which means you stand in line behind a lot of non english speaking people with 2 overloaded buggies full of groceries with 5 screaming un controllable kids, i no i complain a lot but if this happened once, Ok, twice, tolorable, but no thats the daily wal-mart experiance! and all i wanted to do was change the oil in the car! and it aint gonna happen without that kinda hassel!other than that Anita and I have had a wonderfull day full of laughs and music! It all started this morning with a tv add with music, she asked who sang that? i said i think so-in so!  she said she didnt think so so i typed it in search and looked it up, well we were both wrong,Ha Ha! but after that the game was on!!!! we spent all day argueing over who did what song, id end up looking it up because we both hate that when ya know and its right on the tip of the tounge and ya can picture the faces, but ya dont remember the name!!! well thats my fun part, ya can find anything on the internet and id find the song and artist and tell Anita well now i know and you dont, well thats the besy excerise she"s had i thought she was gonna cone outta that chair and kick my butt because i was teasing! but id tell her and we laffed. it was just a good we sat and talked all day myself hearing about her younger years and she listened to my tall tells! ans it seems like ib every other sentance we spoke there seemed to be a line from an old classic rock and roll song, one of us would start and the other would finish the lyrics just to let each other i know that stuff too you aint fooling me! and then we would say who did that song? and id end up looking it up again,lol one thing i can warn ya about. if Alex Trebek every has a rock and roll jeopardy, you DO NOT wanna play against Anita and i, come to think of it I wouldnt play against Anita! well i would but i wouldnt expect to win! Ok thats my rants and raves for today, Have a good night All!!!
