Ads

Well one station has answered my e mail. He reminded me of the law that makes stations accept ads. He said if it was a lie they don't have to run them but he says they are grossly exagerated and not lies. This is so sad.

Negative ads

I contacted two TV stations that put that trash into my home and ask why a station didn't have the courage to say NO and stop running those types of ads.

Who did what?

I love this country but right now I am so disgusted with the negative ads. Spin is one thing, but this is going beyond spin.
We want people to vote and I think we should. All these negative ads turn the people off and the constant repeating of the charges is just stupid. Regardless how many times you say blue is black it is blue. The money being spent on all this junk would really be able to help this state and this nation. I have lost respect for the people running and I am so glad I will have the pleasure of not meeting them.

Good situation

Saturday was open book day so people could see what the assesor had the value of their house and complain if they thought there was an error. I went because I really thought there was a mistake. I told him the areas of concern I had. I won some and lost some but my taxes should be less. Who says God doesn't provide- God gave me the words and kept me in the right spirit while we talked.

Nasty situation

While my son was hooking up my DSL he said tomorrow I am going to dig up the septic tank. {Surprise suprise} He knew that I wanted it pumped before winter so it was this weekend. I called and they pumped it on Sunday so myson could cover it up again before he drove home. His wife came out and helped fill the hole. They had brought up shovels on friday night.
See why I say sons are nice.

DSL or Peddle to the metal

Well my son John hooked up my DSL last night. I can not believe how fast it is compared to dial-up. I better remember to keep the brain in gear when I touch the keyboard. He and his wife drove over 200 mles after work to do this for me. The day was rainy and foggy so I started to think they would change there plans. Some of the trees have changed but the true beauty isnt here yet. We maybe able to see some color but when it is in full color I have a few spots I like to go to and just sit.
I suppose I should have made this two posts since it goes fast now. But I didn't. Besides the computer goes fast but that doesn't change my typing speed.

This morning I had to scrape the windows of my car. My car was covered with ice. The calender says the last day of summer.YA SURE! Tonight might be colder but I won't have to get out early as today. Life goes on.

TOO COLD

Tai went out yesterday when a friend was leaving my house. She will sneak out and go directly under the porch. Tai would usually come back in about 20 min. Not yesterday within 5 when I went out to call her in she ran up the steps to the door.
I sure hope the cold will keep her in and I won't have to deal with my sneaky cat. The worse is when it is dark out, with no out side light the only thing you see are her eyes.

It is 42 now so by morning the tomatoes on the porch may be finished. The flowers may get it to. Every thing in its season,but such a short season.

DIL

I have two DILs which I didn't mean to slight.

My Boys

My other son's didnot forget me. One son e mailed me a few minutes after midnight so he was first (if I had seen it) with a greeting. My other son sent me an e-mail card and later called me. The other son had to call me twice because I was gone.
I LOVE MY SONS!!!! They give me reason to live. BILL,BOB,JOHN,&GEORGE Thank You

What a weak end!

Friday my son came up with my two great grandsons.Tailor is 3 and Robert is 18 months. They came up for the week end and help me celebrate my 73 birthday. {Thats where the weak end comes in.} I do not know how I did it with my boys. I was so tired out and fixing meals wasn't that easy as it was before. I did get chicken one night. My son Robert helped with some of the cooking but I fell short. When you live alone you don't cook all the things you used to. A cheese sauce for the broccoli had me puzzled for a short while but it turned out. The sausage gravey for saturdays breakfast turned out with my sons help. It was cereal for the boys on Sunday. It is amazing how children can be so wonderful to see and so tireing.
After they left a good friend called and said they were on the north side of Green Bay and were coming to steal me away. I have not seen this girl and her husband for about a year. They picked me up and we went to visit another friend. There we had brownies and coffee. We also had good conversation. The ride was pleasent with the changing color on the trees. They brought me back home. I am tired but it was a busy time. The week end turned into a weak end-Mine!

New Little Angel

Heaven welcomed a new Angel named Gabriel on Tuesday. His family and alot of others were really sad down here on earth.
But God and the heavenly hosts welcomed Gabriel in his new and perfect body. Gabriel had a great deal praying for him and his family and the prayer was answered.

Confusion

How do we get frost bit plants, furnace running and the 70s.? My feeble mind is going beserk trying to figure what to wear.
Tomorrow it is going to be in the 80s. Isn't it wonderful to have such mundane problems? These I can handle. Who was it that said" If you don't like the weather wait a little while."?

What do we do now?

Many programs,blogs and memorials today but what about tomorrow? What are we going to do for the next 364 days? Can we all come up with a vow that we will not do any thing based on hate or misinformation. Let us all think before we act. Let us try to keep our little piece of the world free from hate. We lost thousands, now lets have millions keeping their spot peaceful.

Home from the war

Today a young girl from church came back. The church has been praying for her for over a year. I remember the last Sunday before she left and how I felt then. Being as old as I am it is hard to picture young girls going to war. Going from college to war is hard to understandfor me. Amanda was in the National Guard. She spoke briefly about her jobs in Kuwait.
Tomorrow she goes back to college life. God is so good.

Weby

My DIL lost her friend today after almost 20 years. Weby just couldn't stick around any longer. She had to make that last trip to the vet. Weby stayed upstairs when she first came to this house to visit. Her carrier was opened and she flew up the stairs away from me. I didn't see much of her that first visit. Rebecca did but I suredidn't. When I got to watch her it took days before I could get close to her. I could feed her and clean the bx but pet her no way.LOL After a few years I was tolerated but everyone knew whose cat she was. Bye Weby You Will Be Missed.

Is He trying to tell me something?

For me this has and is a bad week. Between my memories and things that are happening to others there is a great deal of pain and knowledge that I made it thru. My husband died on Labor Day 40 years ago at the age of 32. Ayoung man and father died Labor Day at the age of 31.I knew of him; Ican't say we were friends though. Both in traffic accidents. It shocked the whole town and definately me. Today was the date of my husband's funeral. {Right on his mother's birthday.
Then I hear of Susan Godfrey. Her baby is being born on Tuesday. In June she found out that her baby has no kidneys and will die within hours of her birth. This is the second child she will lose this way. I lost my first born shortly after birth-born without kidneys. I did not know ahead of time. So much PAIN.
But God got me thru and we can all pray for Susan and her family. She will need our prayers and so will her family for quite a while. After 40 years it still affects me. This has been harder than lots of years.

Messy Post coments

Trash Update

Well the tires are gone. My one son came over and loaded my car. Of cource I was teased alot about the fact I said it was hard work to get the tires loaded into the car. He just told me to let him do it as he laughed at me. He is strong and today he proved it. But he can tease me .
