I had an absolutely wonderful week-end. I went to visit my Sister in Vero Beach. I got there Friday about noon, and we went to Subway for lunch. After lunch we shopped for a few items we needed for the cook-out, and fireworks. We spent the rest of the day relaxing and talking. We had a late supper. It's always so hot, we wait till late in the day to cook outside. Her future son-in-law, the only man in the group, did the grilling. My little great-nephew was anxious to shoot off his fireworks, but we managed to stall him till almost dark. There were fireworks all around, and they went on till way in the night. It's always nice to see children get excited, and he did. He couldn't turn his head fast enough to see them all.
Saturday we went shopping for real. We went to Port St Lucie first, then back to Indian River Mall. I found a neat pair of jeans on a discount rack for $2.99. We had lunch at the food court, then shopped some more. As part of her B-Day gift, I treated us to Pedicures. Now that was Nice, sitting there talking, the massage chair working on those back muscles, wonderful soft hands working on my feet, massaging my legs. It don't get no better than that. After that we went to the Arcade for awhile. Neither of us are good gamblers, but we had fun feeding the 'One armed bandit'. We then met the kids for dinner at Olive Garden. The food was wonderful, and we all had to get carry-out boxes (Doggy bags). My Sister and I went home exhausted. Sunday morning my Nieces Fiance, did some things to my laptop and got it working better. I can get into 'Flash Chat' now...LOL I started home about 10 am. Stopping in 'YEEHAW JUNCTION' for gas....LOL...Even if I don't need gas, I always stop in YEEHAW JUNCTION, it's mandatory.
Hope everyone enjoyed their week-end as much as I did. I sure needed it, I've been working to hard, and staying home to much. I'm ready for some fun. Anyone out there that wants to join me, contact me, and we will see what we can get into.

My Grandson. I had to stop keeping him for his parents to work. Not because I wanted to, but because I had to go back to work full time, and I couldn't do both. I exhausted every avenue I could find to get myself medical insurance. Now I know that our Government guarantees us Insurance. Unfortunately, they don't guarantee us an affordable rate. The last agent I spoke with told me, "I've spoken with our entire staff, and we all agree that there is NO ONE who will Insure you at this time. I'm Sorry". She suggested I apply for disability...LOL. Even though I had heart surgery in 1997, I am in no way disabled. I guess she doesn't realize a doctor has to say you are not able to work. Not to mention that most of the time you have to not work due to a disability for a year before you can get it. It's all a bunch of crap, and got me down in the dumps. So I've gone back to working from 5:30 pm till 2 am, Monday thru Friday.
Guess I better get up, and get ready. I better feed those darn fish too. I was just thinking about last time my Grandson was here. I heard a funny noise, and some giggling. I looked to see what he was doing, and he was Butt Naked, standing in the fish tank trying to find a way to sit down. He had squatted just enough for the water to touch his 'winky' and that's what caused the giggle. Little boys, men, and their winkies. Gotta Love 'em.....

A fluctuation in blood pressure will make your vision blur. A rise in your sugar level will make you pee. Unrelated I know, but just thought you might like to know.

Reminiscing.........

terrio and MrLucky both got me to reminiscing about MY Home Town.
The town I grew up in was a mill town. For those who don't know what that is, I'll try to explain. A company actually set-up a business, in this case a Lumber co., and built homes for their workers. There was also a Commissary and a company Doctor. We had SOME paved roads, but not many. The company offices were just across the street from the commissary. On Friday afternoon people would line up outside the Pay Office to get their wages. Then they would cross the street and give most of it back to pay for what they had charged at the company store all week. Everyone knew everyone, and if you didn't you soon would standing in the hot sun waiting for those hard earned dollars. I think when my Parents went to work there they were making $1.10 per hour for Daddy and $.90 for Momma. House rent was $2.00 a week, and most of the houses were large, and had porches. That's what I Loved, the big old front porch. Most everyone had a swing and lots of chairs, some had rocking chairs. If all the seats were taken, you could sit on the steps. You never sat in a chair and let and adult sit on the steps. After supper everyone would go outside, the children to play, and the adults to talk. I remember my Mother was the only Mother that would come out and take a turn at bat when we played Ball. She would just say "Let me hit it one time", and she would too. She would be back on the porch before we chased the ball down.
We had a Movie theater, that was originally built as an 'Opera House'. Movies were $.10 on Friday and Saturday nights, with a $.05 Saturday matinee. My Daddy would go to the matinee sometimes, and I remember begging to go along. There was one movie we saw, I can't remember the name of it, was about Slave Ships. Slaves being mistreated while being transported to be sold. He told me I wouldn't like it, and I didn't. I think that it was very educational, in a harsh way, and helped me a lot in my growth.
There were a lot of people who owned their land, some of them large parcels. They farmed, raised cattle etc. There was even a Dairy farm, and they delivered fresh milk to your door, if you wanted them to. It was not uncommon for us to walk to these places, either to work, or visit, especially in the summertime when the days were longer. I don't know if it worried our parents that we were all over the map while they were at work or not, but we didn't worry. I can't remember any horror stories of children being abducted or molested. There were Churches of all denominations, except Catholic, and Mormon. Those were in the near by City. Almost everyone went to Church, at least once a week. If you didn't you were the topic of conversation during those Porch Meetings. During the summer there was Vacation Bible School, and the Churches collaborated so that we could go to everyone, not just the one at our Church. Same way with Revivals.
There were always a few Mothers that didn't work, and those were the places we would gather. Not the same place everyday mind you, we didn't want to be a 'bother'. I remember the summer I was eight, Mrs Hammonds taught me how to can tomatoes. Her three daughters were helping, I was there, and she wasn't having no slackers hanging around. She fed me too.
School day at the County Fair, Oh My how we looked forward to that. We were taken by bus and turned loose with a couple of dollars in our pocket. Warned repeatedly not to eat the food on the Midway, but from the local booths. Heck by the time lunch rolled around, we were BROKE. Then there was Mrs. Carlton. Just in time. With a bag full of sandwiches, enough for all of us. Boy were we glad to see her. There ain't nothing like a cold potato sandwich, uuummmm uuummmm. My Brothers worked on the local farms picking cucumbers, or water melons. $.75 or $1.00 a day, and a meal at noon.
Eventually all the virgin Cypress was cut down, and the mill closed. People started moving away, or if they were lucky, getting jobs in the Citrus processing plant in the next town. That's what Daddy did. Even though he sometimes had to hitch-hike to get there. Momma got a job as a seamstress at a dry cleaners. In the '60's they moved away for a few years, but eventually came back, and bought one of the houses. I didn't move with them, I was married by then. My husband came from one of the Families that owned their own land, and he didn't like neighborhoods. We bought land, and lived where we couldn't see our neighbors. I still miss the big front porch, and visiting with my neighbors. There are still some of the old Mill Houses left, most of them housing illegal mexicans. It's not a nice place to live anymore. Children aren't safe. Doors have to be locked, and double locked. Bars on the windows. Drugs and drunks are everywhere. Trash piled all around the houses. Dead animals, that have been hit by cars, rotting in the street.
I moved into and adult community after my divorce. I sometime sit on my steps now, but there's no one to talk to. My neighborhood is filled with people from the north. They came here looking for that 'Tropical Paradise', and after they got here turned it into the same miserable place they left behind. I didn't realize there were people who would get angry if you walked across the corner of their yard. They have ruined the very thing they came here to find. Not only for themselves, but for us too.
It's lunchtime here, and I think I'll make myself a Potato sandwich...
Later Barbara

"I don't hate you, I just don't want to date you".

I started a comment on potpourri's blog titled 'How to kiss a woman', and it got so long I decided to post it as a blog.
The info in the article posted was good, but it didn't mention kisses like these.......First let me tell you a little story.
One of the things that was mentioned was 'Stubble'. Awhile back I saw a man for a brief time who had the worse stubble I've ever seen. From the beginning I told him that he should always shave good before we went out. He did, for a couple of dates. Then one night he didn't. It was after work and we were just going for Pizza. I said "You didn't shave". He said "Naw, you'll get used to it". HUH!!!!
Get used to it? Have you lost your mind? No Thank you, I don't have to "Get used to it".
He told my Son recently that I hate him, and he doesn't know why...LOL "I don't hate you, I just don't want to date you".
So here's my list of 'some' bad kisses.
The dead tongue kiss.
That's where his tongue enters and just lays there like it's dead. This is at the top of my list, because to me it's the worse kind of kiss. Makes me wonder what other body parts he still has hanging around that are dead.
The hard dry lips kiss.
I'm sure there are some people who have no control over the softness of their lips, and I feel sorry for them. But there are to many products these days for anyone to go around with dry chapped lips. Take a minute to go to the drug store and pick-up something for the problem. Drink more water. Anything. You will be amazed at the difference it will make.
The closed mouth kiss.
Yes, there are adult males that still kiss without parting their lips. My question is, "Are you for real? Did you actually find someone to procreate with you after kissing her like that"? "Put your glasses back on Honey, I think you mistook me for your Mother". My conclusion on that one was that he had new dentures and was afraid he would lose them. Surely he didn't get that old without learning to at least part his lips.
The Slobber on the face kiss.
When he holds your head and runs he lips and tongue all over you face like he's trying to remove your make-up. "Well I don't wear make-up, but if you like the taste of it that much, I can tell you where to buy it by the tube. You can main line it and get your jollies without ME". YUK!
The tongue in the ear kiss.
This is where he slides away from your mouth, and lands his tongue deep into your ear. Now I think a kiss is a direct indicator of how the man will make Love. Right or wrong that's my opinion. If this guy can't stay in the first orifice he was in, well, need I say more?
The Biting kiss.
This isn't really a kiss at all. This guy is still teething and needs a teething ring to chew on. "Don't bite me, you here me? Just don't bite me, never, never bite me. If you bite me, I will hurt you. When bitten, I am no longer a lady".
The I forgot where your lips are kiss.
This is when he moves all around your head, neck, chest and back, but can't seem to find your lips. And you've lost all control. He sucks little purple spots (Hickeys) all over you. I think this is so everyone that sees them will think he/you had a wonderful time. Even if you said "NO", he still claims victory.
The Pecker kiss.
No No, not what you're thinking. This kiss is just a peck here and a peck there. They peck at you like a chicken pecking corn. All the time trying to unbutton your clothes. "Does this kind of kissing ever get you laid"? I think not! Well maybe if you're married and the wife knows it's gonna happen, and just wants to get to sleep.
I'm sure you ladies have experienced some of these too. Just as I'm sure there are many more types of kisses. After all, isn't kissing an individual thing. We are all unique in the way we kiss. That's why when we find someone that can curl our toes with a kiss we need to hang on to them....LOL

Heres to 'EASY'

Yesterday just to get out of the house and get some exercise, I went Thrift store shopping. I found several things to buy. The hospice store has a sidewalk sale, all you can put in a bag for $2.50. Trust me, I don't need any more 'Things' to clutter my house, but I couldn't resist. In my bag I put a
beach sand pail that is like a castle mold.
1 mickey mouse & 1 winnie the pooh ball caps.
vhs tapes of 'liar liar','Benny & Joon','Real-tree Bloopers','Max Keebles big movie' & 'The Santa Clause'.
A 11 to 19 inch sash rod, with hardware, still in the package.
6 tiny pumpkin ornaments.
a wilton cookie press that makes the shape of an apple on cookies, still in the package.
It all fit into my bag, and I could tie the top....LOL
I found a nice black tank top, new with tags, for $3.25, and a VHS Tape holder for $1.50.
Next I went to the 'Goodwill' in Land O Lakes, a town just North of Tampa. I found one of those little cars for children, you know the kind that runs on rechargeable batteries. This one is a JEEP, and barely used. It didn't run in the store, so I was taking a chance that it didn't work, or needed expensive battery replacement. I charged it over night and it seems to run perfectly. I paid $20.00 for it. They were having sales too. Stuffed animals 10 for $1.00, I passed on that one. Books were buy one get one free. I got 'Around the Pond: Who's been Here?' by Lindsay Barrett George, 'My Big Truck Book' by Priddy Bicknell, both hardback children's books $1.00. 'Dear Mrs. LaRue, letters from obedience school', by Mark Teague, Bastien Piano Basics, Piano Primer level', by James Bastien, Paperback $.75. 'A Little Book of LOVE COUPONS' by Hallmark, and my favorite, 'Pause and Reflect', Inspiring Insights for the Weary, Frustrated, Bewildered, Curious and Somewhat Skeptical, compiled and edited by Anita Bergen, a whopping $.75. I've been reading it off and on all day, and it's wonderful. I wish you all could read it, but I will post some of them now and then. Like this one....
"Faith makes all things possible....Love makes all things easy".

Blogthing test

I was going to check out the test to see if I'm 'EASY' or not but I got side tracked. I was looking for the 'easy' test when I came across the one asking "Where should I live"? I took it, ant this is the results.
Go West, Young (Wo)man!
Clean mountain air and vistas are what you choose for that momentous "Where should I live" decision. Perhaps you love nature, an active lifestyle, or the beautiful countryside a mountainous region affords. Whether you live in a city close to the mountains or nestled in a small mountain village, you have some great opportunities at your fingertips. National Geographics recommendations ("Best Places to Live and Play: Mountain Towns") are: Montpelier, VT; Jim Thorpe, PA; Boone, NC; Hood River, OR; Wenatchee, WA; Hanover, NH; Missoula, Montana; and Gunnison, CO.
Now if I can just hit the lottery, I know where to move to...LOL
"Willing to relocate"....LOL
