Yikes, it's me

2009-09-01T19:41:00.002-05:00

Dam, it has been a long time since I blogged. Kinda missed that therapeutic activity in my life. Once I realized ( J ) had been visiting my blog and trying to over analyze every single word I said or trying to find his own meaning, it kinda deterred me my pleasure. But in reality I have been busy and for the most part lazy. I stopped doing SS due to the fact that those that played didn't share their answers and unless you had a tracker on it you never did see what they answered. And most of them forgot the main rule, No Cell phone when a bear was chasing them....most seemed to dial 911 and had help there before the bear devoured them- took the fun out of it for me, I tell ya! Ok- it is like summer here is over...and it went to fast for me. Surely must be a sign of aging. I camped a few times and still have a few more trips planned this month and next. I got a Jet ski and played on the river a lot. Learned how to trailer it, dock it, fuel it and all the works. I even live on the edge and ski standing up. I truly love it. Have been on face book and twitter-doing my tweets twits and one liners. Work still sucks for me...I work to pay for my health insurance and my life style has been sooo cramped lately....I had to let all the help go---No more maid,gardener-cook...or personal sex pleasure guy...I have to do everything my self....and I am not that good at it all. Feel free to send donations...or PSPG....Till then Happy Trails!!!

Update On Me

2009-06-24T05:23:00.003-05:00

Boy, my post's have been getting far apart, and I can truly blame it on Facebook, and now I have found FarmTown on there. It is a virtual game where you have you guessed it a farm. When I reached level #5, I became a Farmer. Now I am at level #6 so as you can see I am moving very slow in that game. As for my own little farm (garden) that is doing great but that too takes a lot of my time. Yesterday I bought 3 bags of a new mulch. It looks like red cedar mulch but made with reclyed tires. Not sure how good that is going to be. Usually I do research on things before I use them, This time I did not. And again this year I have seen a woodchuck eyeing my flowers to eat. I had the dog chase him out of the yard. I find it sorta funny to see him there. I live in the city, my yard is fenced in, he so needs to move out to the country. I celebrated my birthday the other day, not sure yet how I feel about that I have mixed emotions there. The day before my birthday we had our first BQ at one of our Boat Club's. Had a great crowd close to 300 people. A lot of my siblings were there and one of my BFF's Linda and her family. Also I took my MomMa out of the home and she enjoyed it so much. My BFF surprised me with a Caravel Ice cream cake. My sister Milly surprised me with a cake she made from scratch with raspberry filling. ( J) surprised me with a beautiful cake with my favorite color green on it. So that was all nice. At work my boss did what she usually does ignored it. She is such a bitch. Last week I gave her a notice to be out for 2 weeks I do this every year.....Scheduled a medical procedure that I need and get 2 weeks to rest and go camping to recover.....Well she denied it. She truly believes RCA's are not entitled to any time off.....Grant it I have been there 16 freakin years working a few days every week, and If life was fair for me I should have had this route 3 years ago and getting paid to take time off. Being in this Union really sucks for RCA's. You always hear the harp get involved do more.....well I have attended all county meetings except the last one and it is all the same. The union uses RCA's dues as a buffer for the regulars benefits. I get on a roll about that UGH! The group that I joined "Ms. Fits" were we get together and go for a walk once a week, well last week we walked the RipVan Winkle Bridge. For any one WHO knows me....Knows I hate bridges and is afraid of heights. Well the bridge is a mile long, and at half of it you can look down and on both sides of you see the water. I have tried to walk it numerous times before and could never get the courage up.....But I did it! I walked across and back. Well I have much more to update about but now it's time to get ready and go to work.....Ugh I dread seeing that PM....she totally is on a EGO trip....Being a Black Postmaster and having all us little white slaves to work with. I can truly say that! Luckily this past few months I haven't heard her comment on my BFF about her family being a Apple Pie Family. Perhaps I should look into filing discriminating charges against her....humm. Happy Trails!!!

Down With Work

2009-06-05T05:22:00.003-05:00

Life happens and time goes by quicker than you realize, and some times instead of going from A to Z....You kinda get to just G and go back to A to start all over again. It is a shorter circle in life. I am so ticked off with work and the PO. When the guy retired 3 years ago, the normal chain of order would have been- route gets posted and the senior RCA gets it. Thats me! But no the route had to remain open for DPS, then to use as a buffer. And the sub on record is the sub that stays there till it does get posted. They get to get sick days, annual days off, paid vacations. Me I get crap. All my senority and I get nothing. Last week I was handed a letter telling me I need to be available for the regular on the route I usually do, to cover her vacations....Or I will loose my job. ( Mind you I have never just not showed up when schedualled in 16 years.....This was like a freaking slap in the face. Yesterday I was handed another letter telling me I need to be available for the RCA when she wants off, another slap in the face. Grant it, I am best friends with the other RCA, and love her like a sister. I am happy for her for collecting all she can.....I just wish it wasn't me being suffered. She and I are the only ones we can count on for each other there. She watches my back as I watch hers. As for every one else there I hate.....OK, not the clerks they are in a different craft....and even asked me to switch crafts..... I should just switch freakin jobs but after so long, starting over on the bottom sucks....But actually I am sorta there now. I got to where I dispise the Union, and the whole NYRLCA. I think after wasting so much money collecting my dues for me these past 16 years the should do more for RCA's. If any RCA was to ask me about joining the UNION I would tell them not to. Drop out now and save your money!!

Situation Sunday # 72

2009-05-24T07:32:00.003-05:00

Welcome! On a recent camping trip we rented movies from the RedBox. One movie really was crappy but it lead me to think this makes for a great Situation....So on with the show.

Situation # 1
It is Christmas Eve and you still have shopping to do. You get to the mall and drive all over looking for a spot.....None in sight. finally you spot a site and by the time you get to it....you notice that car has taking up 2 spots. Your boiling point has finally been broken and you leave a note on their windshield....telling them what a Jerk they are. After you have shopped it is late and a lot of cars have left. And you are far away in the parking lot.....as you go to your car you pass the jerks car and notice the note is gone. You get in your car and the jerks car blocks you from leaving. They get out of the car and it is a gang of 5 hoodlums, telling you that you has dissed them now you are going to pay! The security officer comes over and they shoot him. You ram your car into theirs to give you a way to leave in a hurry......they follow. You reach for your cell phone and it is dead. The streets are deserted.....What do you do?
Situation # 2
You are going to meet your future in-laws and family. You totally do not like them. They are rude, ignorant and selfish people. Every week they get together for Sunday dinner.....How are you going to handle this?

Trip To Scusset Beach

2009-05-22T04:45:00.002-05:00

We left Saturday right after work, as gas prices started to rise. We waited till we left NY state to get gas, it is always cheaper on the Mass Pike. (J) has been on a no carb diet for the past 3 months and has lost 30lbs. Of course he has stayed away from his favorite foods, and now will take advantage for 4 days and eat some of his favorites. For me it means going away from my norm of my favorite foods and eating a bit different for the next few days. Our first stop on the Mass pike brought us great treat from Papa Gino's/Dangelo's, it totally beat McDonald's. They make the best pizza and subs. I totally hate going to Subway....To many decisions for me there.....you have to name your meat, veggies, bread, dressing. I like just saying a Italian sub and they make all the decisions. The rest of the food of the trip consisted of the best fried oysters and lobster bisque for me and fried clam strips and clam chowder for him from Seafood Sams. It was excellent. And making your own salads from the grocery store. We camped right at Scusset Beach. It is a state campground.Here are some postcards...

My Updates And Chocalate Warning

2009-05-14T19:31:00.004-05:00

HERSHEY chocolate can cause small feet! It is proven...these..uh things ate a lot of chocolate and their feet stayed small. Now really how gross is this shot. I can almost say that one dark hair girl on the end must have bad hygiene....Her hand can't even reach her own navel....need I say more. But truly why would they even pose for a shot like this. This is defiantly going on my fridge, it will defiantly make me think before I grab that butter. This past week for the most part has been wonderful. I got together with a long lost friend of mine. We had such a great day! I haven't seen her in 20 years....It felt like seeing my sister.We both pulled in at the same time. I was going to bring pictures but I kinda knew she would, so I didn't this time. And sure enough she did. She looked great! I think she weighed the same if not less than when we were in high school. She has been believing in the "Secret" and I have too. We had lunch at the Everydinner in Hyde Park. The waitress was nice and gave us our space as we chatted and reminisced. We both decided on the same lunch....A Hudson Salad with chicken,apples,pecans, blue cheese and a tomato dressing. After lunch we strolled around the Vanderbilt mansion, checking out the gardens and taking pictures. Saw a small pot plant growing in the rose garden...good soil..lol. From their we went over to FDR home. How interesting that was. We joined a bus tour group and I learned a lot about a great president. That was so much fun....Can't wait to get together again. Yesterday was my Ms. Fit group. That was our second meet up. I am so glad I joined that group. A Cyber friend of mine told me about it. http//www.meetup.com you can find a local group near you with people that share the same interests...check it out it is so cool. Today I find out I might have to work,,,( I am not going to) route 3 on Monday....The carrier is out sick...his sub has a medical appointment and I am next in line. Well it is ( J's) 50th birthday and we are leaving on Saturday after I get done with work. I have to make myself available to be on Route 1 and route 2....I have rescheduled numerous medical appointments to make sure there is coverage but no way in hell am I responsible for a 3rd route. I didn't plan on being responsible for 2 routes after 15 years....I need to talk to someone else in the Union because this is crap with a capital S......Tomorrow I hope we hit close to 80 I wanna take my Jet ski out!!! Happy Trails!!

Situation Sunday # 71

2009-05-10T00:01:00.004-05:00

Welcome to # 71 of Situation Sunday, by now you know the rules, if not scroll back a few and see. Now on with the Situations.....

Situation # 1

You are driving down a lone country road. Very few cars are on the road if any. You have no cell service. And to make matters worse you are 30 miles from the nearest town. It is a beautiful warm sunny day...as you go along a bee flies into your window......little know to you but it is a Queen bee and her workers are slowly surrounding your car......thousand's of her bees are on your car tyring to get close to her.........What do you do?

Situation # 2

The capital of your city is celebrating their tulip bloom. It is a big celebration. The media is there along with millions of town folk and tourist. They have some of the rarest tulips....spectacular in color....You are there with your child or one hat is in your care.....They want cotton candy and you tell them not now and they throw a tantrum and start running through the tulips and destroying them as they run a muck....what do you do?

My Past Week

2009-05-09T05:48:00.004-05:00

( This is a old picture, of a favorite lady in her son's green house at spring time)
This has been a fun filled week for me. Hectic and fun. I worked all week. Spent half of it up at Jenny's on the hill over looking the city. Which was great, I was in charge of the volume control in the house. When I went to sleep I would put the snooze button on her radio in her room to jazz, and the tunes would lightly drift into my room and I drifted off to sleep with Jeremiah ( My poodle, Godson) very close by. Now at home I would watch TV out in the living room all my favorite shows, with ( J) in his room watching his shows.....set of 2 different volumes. I would shut off my TV, go to bed with his shows in the back ground...( at times Nascar sounds would drift in....or should I say roar in. Making me getting ready for my summer move of going from the small side room into my big bedroom in the front of the house. I moved in there the same time last year. Work has been very busy....it seems like all week I was racing to get from one point to another. Actually even after work I felt the same way.....from running to go tanning to the store to get home. Would try to do some gardening before ( J ) made supper. That was a great help to me. He is slowly turning into a gourmet cook, adding spices. Which is great because I hate plain Jane food. My garden is coming alive...I have 2 lilac trees in bloom...I just love that. My white bleeding heart plant also is in full bloom. With so many other plants coming to life. I have joined a group I found on the computer....The name is called Ms. Fits. we meet once a week and go walking for 2 miles. This past Wednesday was our first meetup. There was 20 of us. I got to meet a lot of fun people and got in some great exercise. My sister was suppose to come, even made a pinky promise to me....but broke that....I expected that so I guess I wasn't to alarmed by it. I do believe she has different values in life than I do. The truth and promises aren't high on her list. As for me being honest, and promising people are pretty much a way of life. Guess that's what make people all different....Now I am running late again.....Happy Trails!!

Face Book Has Done Good Again

2009-05-02T06:15:00.004-05:00

It's Saturday and I am off of work. But it will be a busy day for me. I have to take the New York Safe Boating course today. I started studying the book but with my ADD, I only got up to page 11. I figure I will learn it as he teaches. Ok, I am the only one who has diagnosed me with ADD, also I still think I have the swine flu. I decided to stop taking that nasal inhaler the dock gave me, I have had a headache for 3 days now.....at times it is like a migraine....I just want quiet. I will just take the antibiotic, and put my self on Tylenol sinus, that will dry up my head and my ear infection. Ok, some updates in my life. Remember me telling you about my brothers son I found on facebook. He lives in Colorado. Well I was so happy I had a connection with him. Well he disappeared.....no more word from him. I tried calling him and he hasn't responded. Hope he is ok. When I was living in Poughkeepsie, I met this girl named Carol. We became the best of friends. She was like a sister to me. All my other sisters were living some where else, and I did have my little sister there but Carol became my other sister. We had so much fun. I don't remember how we met. She went to a Catholic school and I was stuck in public school system. Even after I moved away we were still friends for a long time. Then we sorta drifted away doing our own thing. And lost track of each other. I always thought of her and wondered where she was. I couldn't remember her married name and would do searches using her maiden name but it is amazing how many Carol's there are wit her last name. Any how she found me on face book and I am so happy. I can't wait to see her and catch up on everything. This will be so cool to have her back in my life. Now I gotta run and get me some Nautical Knowledge....Happy Trails!!!

Having Fun

2009-04-29T05:05:00.003-05:00

(picture of our spot on the family island)

I so enjoy my days off. My schedule is crazy for a bit. Since this route count, the route that I have been on for years is cut, and I am now on there every other Thursday. But I dare not get use to that.....It happened before when I was scheduled on Saturday's. I was enjoying not doing it every Saturday, then with out noticed they increased it to every Saturday. Now I think when I get used to being off every Thursday....Something will change that. With the weather being nice I have so much to do with spring cleaning, I do put that off till a rainy day and play in my garden. I have a lot of different garden area's so by the time I get one fixed and move on to the other, it becomes a continuing circle. The past few days here has been in the 90's so (J) and I have taken the small Bayliner out on the river and just drifted along. We have hiked along the tracks for miles and explored numerous stops along the way. We have found out that by our island which is close to the tracks that on the other side of those tracks are a inlet almost like a large pond, a lagoon where we counted over a dozen huge snapping turtles....amazing that they are so close to where we swim. I have had so much fun learning to ride my jet ski and so enjoy it. It makes me think of my good friend Mary enjoying her Harley. My new search now on my days off is doing digs for arrow heads. So much fun and still so little time. Today here in the North East it will feel like fall, our temperature will be 65 which is normal but after the .heat wave we had, it will feel weird. Happy Trails!

Menopause a challenge, or a savings

2009-04-23T05:08:00.005-05:00

(Leaving Miami on the cruise)

The dreaded subject no one really wants to hear, but here goes.Not sure when it actually started......I still don't believe it is. I talked with my two older sisters and told them what was going on with me. My one sister is over 50. She was crying upset about how ill heath my one brother is in, I told her he will be fine it's me you gotta worry about. I get extreme hot flashes. I haven't had any sign of my period in 7 months. My get up and go at times seams to have get up and went. I don't notice any different signs of moodiness, at times I have always been moody, but not to the point any one notices. They usually see me as positive. My sister told me your just going through the change, its Menopause. When you think about that word what do you see....let me break it down for you Men O Pause.... At times you need to pause to deal with them. Stop and think before reaction. Here is a example....You clean the house all day, the kitchen is Germ free, floors spotless....Then he comes home....dirt on the floor from his work boots, food scraps and wrappers left out, all with in 5 minuets.....You want to yell and hit him but you must Pause! If it happened 2 years ago you could hit him but now you gotta Pause, O Men! When I was down in Florida and at times I would get a hot flash my other sister who is 2 years older than me would laugh and say Welcome to the club. She told me it could be a cold winter nigh and she would strip her clothes off and when that didn't help she would jump into the pool. So it's something we all go through....It happens any where from age 35-55, but the age ranges vary and it can last years......The money we save on tampon products with be wonderful.You figure at $10 a month, by the end of one year you save $120.00 after 10 years you save $12oo.oo How cool is that. Makes me wish I started mine at age 25. When I was also in Florida I went to Palm Sunday service, at the blessing of the Palms I started to pass out...people on both sides of me caught me...and I awoke.....Which was very weird. The other day Dr.Phil did a whole show on the subject. It was a wonderful understanding of it to watch. (J) taped it for me. They even did part of it on what Men go through.... I paused on that part....I shall watch it another time. Now its off to work...Happy Trails!!!

Wondering....

2009-04-21T21:28:00.003-05:00

Well, I am back from my travels and now going throu a wondering time of my life. When I left I had 2 jobs that kept me very busy....but as any one really knows me I liked being busy and hectic...that is I! If I am not doing one thing I am doing the other. I was at a home care case and doing great at it,( 9 months...and grant it I wasnt going to stay much longer...my choice) the next thing I know is my younger sister brings this homely, ok...her friend in to cover my vacation, nd the next thingyou know and I am out. And it really freaking blows my mind how blood can help a stranger aka friend out over a sister. I guess sometimes in life peoples priorities are different and what is inportaint to one person is flybouent to another. But I guess I am very glad for this slow down period in my life.....It helps me to have time off and think and slow down and enjoy life. Years ago I worked less.....had a pup tent and went camping a lot. I could give a f@ck what any one thought.....It was happy and free. Then I moved up in life.....worked had....got a RV and wondered if I was keeping up with the Jone's......our boat got bigger and I thought I was.....I travel and all is Great with the world.....Now I am going slow down .....climb back in the pup tent and appreciate me being Me. Work on my gardens....flowers...vegetables....and life.....Happy Trails!!!.....(spell check not working nor is pic, UGh)

Postcards From My Trip

2009-04-15T05:21:00.000-05:00

Home From My Holiday

2009-04-13T18:59:00.003-05:00

Last Friday I hopped on a train here and headed down to Penn. That part of the journey was easy, and may I add comfortable. From there I hopped on train #91 to Florida.....I was assigned a seat...that was good untill we hit Jersey and they put this lady that was very nice, but she filled her seat and some of mine which if I was wanting to touch some one, she would not want to be my choice....sorry but I needed at least 2 inches between us. I asked to move and he really didn't want to give me a neither seat....he was like the Amtrak seat Nazi, Finally I did get to move to a seat alone for a bit. But, as we hit Washington I now had a new seat companion. This little boy that was going to Disney world with is Grandmother and sister...they sat across from us. He was so addorable I loved talking with him. His Grandmother broke her leg skiing, and his sister broke her leg the night before jumping down the stairs. I gotta give that lady credit for still going on the trip. Around 10 pm that night I was finally able to secure a cabin on the train, Yippie my own Toilet and bed. I think I fell asleep about 1 am and enjoyed a good night's sleep. The room is very small but it is so worth it. My sister in Florida laughed at me....she said I could have been there already and the price I spent I could have flown first class. But you know I would travel that way again.....The journey getting there is half the fun.....More tails on my travel on the morrow......Happy Trails!!!

Situation Sunday # 69

2009-03-22T12:31:00.004-05:00

Bead People by Helena

Welcome....I know I have lacking in my posts of Situation Sunday...but Hey I have heard no complaints so all is Cool. Now on with the Situations. Remember to use your imagination and No cell phones to help you.

Situation # 1

With the recession going on your family is having a hard time getting everything paid and just keeping your head above water. You have asked your 2 young adult children to help out....(they are 16 and17).....They agree to get part time jobs and each make out about $150 a week. But when it comes time to forking over some of the money to help out....they decide to keep it and waste it on clothes and junk food.....What do you do?

Situation # 2

You are out hiking in a remote wooded area and come across a serial killer in the process of killing his 24 person. He doesn't know you are watching him....What do you do?

Hey You.....

2009-03-08T21:19:00.003-05:00

This post is dedicated to you! A simply marvelous human being...(at least I think human). So what have you been up to? What occupies your time.....Keeps you motivated....or makes you scream with delight? Tell me and all the others that are wondering? Are you ready for Spring? Looking forward to a new growth of season? Share if you dare.......Happy Trails!!!

Jason You Screwed Up Again!!

2009-03-03T17:03:00.005-05:00

Jason and the host....I think the host is a hotty, wonder if he's single!

I waited for the finally show to see who won Jason's heart. Hoping it was Melissa! And it was, but after the finally rose was given and the show was over, Jason, Melissa and Molly went back to talk to the host of the show...( These next quotes were taken from ..Melissa Knew: "Melissa obviously knew [about the breakup]," Harrison clarifies. "She was not blindsided. She didn't think everything was great. She showed up that day to talk about the wedding date and then realized she was going to be dumped. She was pissed and angry, but she wasn't blindsided. Not that it makes it any better for anybody, and I totally understand why people are still mad, but she wasn't the complete unsuspecting little lamb that you might think."Molly Did Not Know: "There are the ridiculous stories in the media about how set up this was, how Jason and Molly had been seeing each other. When those came out, I talked to him again, and I said, 'Tell me, was there anything? Text messages? Phone calls?' I know they hadn't seen each other, but was there anything? And he told me, 'No, not until we got on stage.' That really was the first time she knew that he wanted her back."Molly and Jason Are Going Strong: "I can't believe how well they're doing," Chris tells me. "That's part of the special tonight—what's happened in the six weeks since we shot that last special back in January. And they're doing amazingly well. I talked to [Jason] again this morning to see how they were holding up, and obviously he realizes that he's probably one of the most hated men in America, but that too will blow over. They're going to make a go of it. They're doing good."What do you think of the big Bachelor twist? Is Jason a total slimeball or does he still deserve a chance at love? I think after awhile Jason will think maybe I should have stuck it out longer with Melissa, and it will be a continuing saga.....If I was Melissa I would have kept the ring, sue the crap out of Jason.....for putting her throw hell and humiliation in front of millions.....Humm now that is over where shall I fantasize on now?

Bachelor

2009-02-24T10:20:00.007-05:00

Who watched the show last night? I thought it was going to be a cat fight at first. I really have to give some of those chicks credit....If I was Jillian I would have been pissed....I probably would have said something to the fact like I am glad you didn't pick me....I felt nothing when we spent the night together.....Who am I kidding I wouldn't even had the balls to go and be on that. I watched the show after that....The Most Beautiful person inside and out.....Those 3 were just average looking people.....grant it the guys had bodies that you wanted to be nekid' next to but there faces were just average, They were given situations where they were tested, but they were just normal crap.

I am much more beautiful than that and it just comes natural, I do more good things for the next person with out even realizing I have been kind till the moment passes. some people don't need a reality show to pick them they just know they are beautiful inside and out....At least I know it!!!Happy Trails!!!

And The Rose Goes to Me

2009-02-18T19:41:00.005-05:00

There are a few shows I am addicted to. Lost, The Bachelor and Cash Cab. Those I watch regular. There are also a few I enjoy watching when I can: Survivor, Army Wives, Desperate Housewives, Wife Swap. This past Monday night on Bachelor (the guy in the picture)it was down to 3 ladies..(Picture below)...on one episode he got to sleep with all of them Jillian, Melissa and Molly. Jillian did not receive a rose and got sent home it made me think she wasn't good in bed. It was as if he had to ride them all to see who he wanted. I could see his point in doing this, but I felt sorry for her. I am sure when he asked her to spend the night she really thought , he won't send me home now....he loves me. The same for Molly and Melissa. I hope he ends up with Melissa and maybe by next week we will see. I sure wish I could have had 12 guys at once to choose from. Then down to the last 4 sleep with them all at a different romantic setting, to see who I wanted to spend my married life win. But then there was a time where he was one of the bachelors on a show where he was picked up to the end and he even purposed to the chick, before she turned him down while millions of onlookers watched.Humm, on Cash Cab it is a game show where you hitch a cab in NYC and once you get in it, lights go off and you get asked questions, and with the right answer you get a cash and as the questions get harder the money goes up....it's a pretty fun show to watch. With Lost, it is about survivors of a crash, on this tropical island that is full of mystery. Those that left after being rescued have to go back.....it is totally confusing, but the fun part is trying to figure it all out........Now it is back to watching Lost and having Happy Trails!!

Situation Sunday # 68

2009-02-15T11:50:00.004-05:00

Welcome, Sit back relax and let your imagination take over and see how you would handle these Situations.
Situation # 1
Valentines day has come you have planned a special day for you and your lover of 5 years. You think they are going to ask you to take it to the next level of your relationship, and perhaps ask you to spend the rest of your life with them. As the evening progresses they say they have a surprise for you at 9pm.......At 8:30 pm comes the door bell rings and it is your Mother she has come into town and wants to stay with you what do you do?
Situation # 2
You are out cross country skiing alone in a large wooded State Park....You venture off the path and ski down a little hill. You fall and hit your head and are unconscious for a few hours. When you awake you notice it is total darkness....night has come....and you don't know how to get back out of the park and too your car....You don't have your cell phone with you! What do you do?

(Rays shine down from the Heavens above, to warm the Earth and our hearts, during the cold winter months- Helena

Greetings from the North East! It has been frigid here for the most part. We would get a few breaks from the cold than ,slap we get hit again with it. It has been a rough winter here, lots of snowy days and icy days. More snow than last year, which is good in some ways, I got to go cross country skiing a lot more than last year. I have been doing it alone, which is the sad part. Friends all seem to working on the days that I am free, and me working when they are not. Ugh! But I do get to see the beauty in nature and all. A little so much that it spooks me at times. At work I ski on my down time, there is a small patch of woods in between the house and the pond. The pond is rather large it is jointly owned by a few land owners. I ski around the pond and the beginning of the season I noticed a lot of deer tracks around the woods, all around the pond. And now I notice no deer tracks at all, but tons of other tracks......either mountain lions, or coyotes. Not really sure what they are but I can see them all over, even where the rest, and use the bathroom. At times I feel like part of the food chain out there. I am waiting for the full moon when i is bright at night and I can safely look out my bedroom window and see what is out there. My suspense grows. On another note I have also been very busy with face book. Having loads of fun keeping in touch with family and friends. Been having fun there passing drinks, throwing snowballs and water balloons and yes...ease dropping onto other siblings.....I just love it! Well time to go on and have Happy Trails!!!

Update On Me

2009-01-25T20:32:00.005-05:00

Years ago, and I mean many.... one of my little brothers got married out in Texas. He was young at the time and they had a beautiful son....( actually all my nieces and nephews are adorable...for the record). Well things didn't work out for him there and he loved his son very much and took him from his mother and headed home....back to NY. But there was a problem there....the mother loved him too and didn't want him to go....so to make a long story short she came and got him and moved back we thought to Texas but she went to Colorado instead. And we never heard from them since that.....that was like 20...maybe 22 years ago. I joined face book along with numerous relatives. One of them I thought signed on as my brother. But in the back of my head from reading what they wrote I knew it was not my brother.....My one sister called me and said what's up with that.....I told her I didn't believe it was our brother writing that and I think it is his son....They have the same name....And I was right!! As if there was ever a doubt. So after all these years I have my nephew back. I have missed so many years of their life. I am so glad that they made the extra push to know. I guess what I am trying to say is if you never know half your family and you are to afraid to try don't be, you will always wonder and who knows you just might find what you are searching for. I am so happy that I now get a chance to know him. Shall keep you posted on that. Today I had a Count School session for our union on the mail thingy that I do. I read some where that it was only suppose to last 4 hours....it went close to 6. Ugh...totally boring.....So what's happening in your worlds....Untill next time.....Happy Trails

Situation Sunday # 67

2009-01-18T14:45:00.004-05:00

Sorry, so late in posting.....The BF thought it would be good to let me sleep....I was having awesome dreams and forced my self to get up at 2pm! UGH most of the day is gone....I slept 13 hours....On with the Situations!!!

Situation # 1

You and your family leave the great North East in the winter for a few months. You have this employee that you count on to check things out, and turn the heat up if it gets frigid cold and let the water run if necessary......you get a call from a neighbor that also checks things out.....the heat went off and all the pipes froze....how do you handle your employee now?

Situation # 2

You have won a trip to NYC! All expenses paid for you and 3 other people. You arrive there and a car meets you to take you to your hotel, as you all get to the hotel you notice it is in a run down part of the city.....And the hotel has a lot of derelicts hanging around. Your driver speaks no English or Spanish....and communication with him is not a option. Between all 4 of you you have $500....What do you do?

Happy New Year

2009-01-01T21:50:00.004-05:00

WhooHoo it's here!! The New Year and all that it promises ,at least in my head. lol! I am hoping a freaking lot! All the weight that I gained and gray hair shall just vanish. The body I had when I was 20 shall mercilessly appear, yippie. I'll get laid this year for sure! OMG I sound like a commercial for Jenny. Today was a great start to the year .....I went riding on these country roads and took some shots I love, I really enjoyed that. I got home about 1pm and really had to scramble to do all that I wanted....and still I ran out of time....and now I am going to Chill out.....I am beat...think I got a bug and work hour comes might to soon. So what could have been a lenthy yadda...Is just a wish for you....that you all have had a great approach

wonder full Near Year! " It is what is is" {The saying for this year} Happy Trails!!! Helena
Can you imagine the homesteaders when they chose this place...I hope they moved on to better things and this was the work of kids,,,,building a play house...O what fun for them!!!

My updates

2008-12-29T08:31:00.007-05:00

Christmas time is such a busy time, I really am glad it is over so I can relax! I had so much work to do these past 2 weeks I couldn't wait to exhale. I was rushing here and there doing work, trying to shop it was freaking crazy. I never mailed out my Christmas cards, only like 8 of them......I still might mail them out, perhaps in August when I am on vacation and have time. It's funny Christmas time comes the same time every year but being a procrastinator I always have not enough time to do things. The holiday its self was very nice. We had snow and seeing and spending time with family is always fun. I got a lot of nice presents from every one. My favorite gift was my new camera....it is a kodak digital with a 12x zoom. I am still learning how to use it as a pro. These pictures of the deer were taken only a few feet from them.....My brother has them near his house and they are use to me. The first shot you can see the deer sticking his tongue out at me such a playful thing.

The last shot is of the sunset last night in the city....The sky was so colorful. Well now I gotta run to work. I can't wait to get done. I am redoing a old bed that I got out of the attic. It is probably close to a 1oo years old and someone painted it a bright yellow....I removed that layer of paint and found 2 more layers under that of various shades of white. I probably should have tried to keep the last layer on but I want to stain it so it matches the other furniture. I have been working on it for 12 hours so far, (J) says I am crazy I should just go out and buy one. But it will be much better knowing how hard I worked on it....when I am done I shall post a picture. For now.......Happy Trails!!!

2008-12-19T21:27:00.005-05:00

Here in the Great North East, it seems we are almost out of the woods from the last storm, and a new one has hit. Last Thursday we got a ice storm and most places were with out power, and heat. The post office being one of those places. But it was sorta fun wearing our own, not Government supplied; head light gear so we could sort the mail. Of course that day the postmaster left after a couple of hours and who could blame her....I would have if I could...but I was not management. I had to deliver the mail. You know the saying...Snow , rain or all the crap the mail goes through... Most places were with out power till Tuesday....some still are with out. And today we got hit with a snow storm. The roads were treacherous delivering the mail. If all the mail boxes were on even terrain it might not have been so bad but needless to say they were not. I never thought I would see so many stupid thoughtless people in one day as I say today, from pulling out unexpectedly { no matter when that is never a go0d thing.

I could not wait for the day to be over. Dreading going back to the post office and having the postmaster Bitch because I ran 10minutes over on my delivery time...ugh I dreaded it and stressed my self out so much I got a freakin headache. But when I got back she said great job, you really did a great job. I am proud of you. You know that made it worth it. I always do a great job and never get the recognition for it, today I did. And right like that my head ache went away. As you can see these storms all have their beauty in them if only we look for the silver lining....so cliche" I know....Happy Trails!!

my yadda

{This is a old picture I have taken over the summer, it is like one of my favorites...A lone jogger on the beach, on a misty morning}

Time lapses inbetween my blogging. Seems like I am always so busy doing one thing or another. I really wanted to post Situation Sunday this past weekend. But we had our town's Christmas walk Saturday night, that was so much fun. Midgie and her husband and my 3 nephews all went with us, and the twins spent the night. The next morning Chef Ramsey....aka (J) cooked us all our favorite breakfast, Eggs any way we liked. That was very nice. And Sunday was spent holiday shopping with Midgie and Jessica....which was always fun for me.....I got a new sweater....scarf....Hat...leggins...oh, I was also able to find (J) a few things that will be a total surprise....whoo hoo!! And also this past week my nephew Johnathan passed his driving test...Yippie I am so proud of him....And all the hours of driving with him will be over,,,I will so miss that and the fun we had. But I still need to teach RJ and also Mikie so that I am sure will be fun. This am I was watching the news on Holiday Tipping, I swear most advice is so off the mark...Peter Post...Great-Grandson of Etiquette Expert Emily Post states for Home Health Aides =Home health employees: A gift, but check with the agency first, as most agencies have a no-gifts or no-tips policy. If this is the case, consider giving a donation to the agency. Give me a break on that,,,give to the agency Not!! Give to the aide that is proving the service of excellent care!And most of the Home Health Aides that Live-in help (nanny, housekeeper, cook, butler): One week's to one month's salary based on tenure and customs in your area, plus a personal gift, now that is much better. Also he states, Newspaper deliverer: $10 to $30 they bring you the paper....and they get that...Excuse me and the letter carrier who brings your important mail=Letter carriers: U.S. government regulations permit carriers to accept gifts worth up to $20 per occasion, not cash : now again I say that is hogwash! Use your own judgement and base that on the service you receive.....is your mail correct or do you constantly get your neighbors? Is your carrier friendly and professional? Do you find your packages up a tree or near your door? And just to inform the public the carriers are under a lot of pressure from management cutting their hours to do the same job with increasing boxes. They go through a lot of bull at least at our office. Management must get a large bonus on the backs of carriers, they get a check.....not a gift under $20....So use your head while tipping this year. Being the holiday season for giving I will be doing my annual fund drive for needy adults...(me), that would like a few extra gifts. Updates on that on a later date.....For now it is off to the race....( trying to get my route done in the allowed( hogwash) time , and hoping the postmaster is off doing her other thing. Happy Trails!!

Turkey Day

2008-11-27T08:33:00.004-05:00

Happy Thanksgiving To All! Two Turkeys have been pardened by President Bush. There names are Pumpkin and Pecan. Seems like it has been awhile since I have posted, about two weeks in all. A lot has happened for me in my absence. i went to Virginia....by train. one of my nephews retired for 20 years of service in the Navy, WhooHoo. We are all very proud of him. He rented 3 officer houses and we all had a blast. The houses were fully loaded with everything, and we were right on the York River, so we had excellent rooms. I took tons of pictures but do to my neurotic state of confusion I don't know where the hell I put that plug to down load them., Ugh!! but soon I know I shall locate it. The train down was fun, I went in business class where you have plenty of room to stretch, I took along my DVD player and watched a few movies. The majority of the travelers had there lap tops, my lap top PC is old and heavy....even thou I bought it new and top of the line 6 years ago....I want a new one that is super thin and light. They didn't have a dinning car, only a snack car.....and the food was overly priced and Yucky. All in all it was a fun trip and great 4 day party. My sister Anna got totally smashed one night and hugged the toilet for a few hours. They were all downing shots of Jack Daniels....and ontop of wine and beer.....I knew better and just stayed with a few glasses of wine....been there dun that as they say so I won't run my days while away. On to other things I have been up to. My patient passed away 2 days ago so I will be home more. I enjoyed taking care of him and am glad he went peacefully and quick.....He had Alzheimer's and was still able to enjoy some days. The night before he died I was with him....I could see he was declining......he really didn't want to eat dinner, he kept pushing it away....so I gave him a slice of coconut pie and a large amount if ice cream....he enjoyed that...we spent the evening looking throu a calendar of trains....and a movie about trains and the rail system in Vermont. ( His whole life he had a love for trains and was a head honcho Engineer in the train transportation....in charge of where every train went and what track, he had a different title but I am not sure what that was.) I am just glad I was able to make his last night fun for him. No mention in the local papers, or news of his passing....He was from a very prominent family, Where his ancestors were Lords, that owned much of the county here. I think the family is keeping it hush hush till after the holiday here. I will say a special prayer of Thanks for him on this day. On to other notes....or yadda....I will be picking up my MomA' and taking her to my brothers house for dinner. I prepared the Yams, Dressing, Creamed Anessit (SP), Asparagus with holiday sauce....and a Coconut Custard pie....I can't wait to eat. The sun is shinning here....looks to be about 40 degrees out....Simply put a beautiful day......Happy Trails!!!

Procrastinators Unite

2008-11-13T06:16:00.002-05:00

Busy,busy bee. That's how I would describe myself.Or perhaps that is what I blame my procrastination on......I am almost ready to close the suitcase....I leave in a hour, Woohoo- My journey begins. I had so much freaking shopping to do before I go. Yes, I have new outfits, And I had to get new jewelry to much. I hit Burlington Coat factory yesterday...I really just needed a nice scarf...and maybe a shirt, I walked away with 5 shirts, 2 scarfs, underclothes. (J) does not understand why I take so long. But I could have spent hours in that store....I didn't even go in the shoe department or household,,,,I need to get back to that store. Usually I just go to Kohles, but yesterday I went there and to the Label Shopper store. I promise when I come home I will go throu my closets and donate a huge selection to goodwill. There that makes me feel better. This week my boy had his driving test....( Ok, he's really not my boy, but my nephew) He got such a prick as a instructor. When I saw him he reminded me of a pointdexter, Johnathan thought he was a nerd. He was so freaking cold...like a human computer. Well he failed, him. I suppose he was doing his job.....but if he would have been a little bit more human the blow of failing wouldn't have been so bad. If any one knows my nephew he thrives on perfection....being a straight A student. I think he just got nervous, because he is a good driver. Now it is back to practicing. Also RJ needs more practice and my other boy Mikie just got his permit and I need to take him driving. I think after they all get there licence's I will put a halt to my driving instructor day's. Three boys is enough teaching......I will let another aunt or uncle teach them,....Ya right,lol. Well it's off to my journey.....I will be in Virginia for the rest of the week! And they say Virginia is for lovers WooHoo!! Happy Trails!!!

Situation Sunday # 65

2008-11-09T10:07:00.003-05:00

Welcome! As I tried to figure out what number I was up to I realized I put the last on as #24....Retard! It was 64...OMG. Ok, now on with the correct dosage of meds and the number for this week is #65.

Situation # 1

This is the last weekend on Earth! What will you do that is different or special?

Situation # 2

Barack Obama is now in office as our President. He is choosing all his cabinet members, and has decided out of the blue to choose you. Your job will be the AAP. All American person in charge of helping the people......What will you suggest to do?

Situation # 3

Every state has decided to allow one person to decide on Proposition # 8. By the use of the computer and drivers licence....one person is picked. You number has come up......How do you decide to handle Proposition # 8.

Who will you be Voting for

2008-11-03T09:04:00.005-05:00

I started this this AM, and ran out of time to adjust it, and blog about it. As this election draws near, I hope all that are capable to vote shall do so. I have 7 other siblings in my family that can vote. I am sure 2 of them won't and the others are half voting Republican, and half voting Democratic. Who is right it's a matter of choice and who you believe. Will promises get broken after the election....this I believe will always happen. I think McCain would do better if he went with a different running "mate" for vise president.....I think there were many other people to choose that would have been better than Palin. I think since Barack didn't choose Hillery....McCain thought his choice would some how make himself look like the better man....It didn't work. Do some see Barack as a radical, a Muslim? When I see and hear him talk he makes a lot more sense to me, and seems down to earth. Both candidates are very great men, worthy of a term in the white house to serve us citizens. Barack has my vote whether it be right or wrong......but I exercised my right to vote and I hope I made the right choice

Weekend update

2008-10-27T06:15:00.006-05:00

Time has moved forth from the last time I blogged....seemed like it was just yesterday but in reality it has been a week if not more. I am busy as usually with only one day off which really sucks. This week is my last week of doing double duty. Here it is only Monday the start of the week and I am dreading it. Not that the week holds doom and gloom, I love my jobs but when I have to do them back to back with just a hour in between I tend to get crabby. This Sunday I planned to stay close to home and get caught up on MEEE time. I got off work at 9:30am, ran home for a brief minute, then off to the home to see my MommA', On the way I stopped at farm stand picked up corn for corn fritters, and some tomatoes for this tomatoe slice bake I wanted to make. There was a sign there that said Brussels sprouts....but no sprouts.....they said they were out picking and due to a accident they couldn't get throu yet...come back. Visited my MommA' for 45 minutes. Back to the farm stand I go. No sprouts yet....come back. UGH. Off to my home to shower....then bank....then to farm stand again.....they had them Yippie, also grabbed green beans Yummie! Went and picked up my nephew, met up with Midgie and Mikie....We headed to great barrington to shop and lunch for just a little while...Ok I thought I will be home by 3pm......it was 7pm by the time I got home.....to tired to cook....{J} grilled the steaks and zapped the corn.....my day is over....no Meee time....Laundry is pilling up, the dust bunnies have multiplied, and I am getting longing for this week to be over and Sunday here again.....But in the mean time I shall venture forth and remain on this Happy Trail!!!

Fall has set in big time here. The colors have been magnificent. This past weekend we took the big boat for a ride before it came out of the water. We went to a Ginseng festival at the point. It was rather small, not like the Garlic festival, nor was it as much fun. After 5 minutes {J} had enough and went to sit on the boat, so I was alone looking at every thing...that part I enjoyed. I bought some Ginseng root in hopes of growing a huge crop next year. Ginseng sells for $500 a pound, amazing. Also at the point they had this old fire boat there that they were giving rides, not sure if it was free or how much, the only thing I did notice was it must have had a huge leak in it.

It was pumping out gallons of water on both sides, it had 2 pump out holes on each side and they were all busy, I felt so much safer in our boat. { J} pulled it out of the water yesterday. As always that is a sad time of the year, but it seems this year I did not feel the same. I never got to sleep on it. And I must have spent a few hundred to fuel it, that is one cost we split. Yesterday we were going to spend the afternoon up in the mountains, but at the last minute I changed the plans. A lady I was helping earlier in the year called and I could tell she needed a cheer up visit. She always wanted me to stay there and take care of her but with my schedule I could only give her one day a week, she had another lady helping her. Well she fired the other lady and so hated calling me and telling me she found a livin' and didn't need me. I completely understood and was happy for her. She is like my "Jewish" grandmother, {Not knowing my father's mother, I finally had one}. Well I went out there and met her new livin' and didn't like her, it was not jealous.....I could tell that she was not what Loretta needed. Well that lasted a month and a half. So I went and visited her, she was so happy to see me. I took her for a nice scenic drive. Then we stopped for a photo shoot. I took her picture with the scenery behind her. I thought it came out nice, all she noticed was how big her boobs were. She is very funny I told her I will crop it out and make her look flat chested, " don't worry about it". Midgie will go out there Friday and help her out, I will visit her again on Sunday. Today is a mail day, so busy....then it is practicing driving with Johnathan and parell parking in the city. He is anxious to take his road test....he wants to schedule it. I told him we need to go out 4 more times and if on the 4th time out he does great on parell then that would be the time to schedule it. Right now it would be 50/50 if he took the test, and I know he wants to do good. So I am avoiding and disappointments he might have if he took it now. I passed my test the first time I took it.....but I really believe he passed me because I was so darn cute. I ran up on the curb when I parked. And even thou Johnathan is cute, it might not work the same for him. Well off to the coal mines I go.....Happy Trails!!!

Yadda...Yadda...Yadda

2008-10-06T13:18:00.011-05:00

Here are a few shots from my garden over the weekend. This first shot is of my autum children, and a little creativity. It is in my side yard and I just love them, need I say more....Ok I will- They are great kids. When I purchased them J told me how stupid and a waste of money that was, ignoring his neaderthal behavior I went and had fun doing it any how. I also collected a lot of Dahlia bulbs this year, and had a beautiful coloction of flowers. The frost has not hit them yet so I am still enjoying there beauty. I have gave away a few bunches of them to friends and family. Soon as the frost hits I will dig up the roots and put them in a box with some peat moss and hide them in the cellar. Then I hope to remember them next spring. Today I also started making crock pickles and can't wait till they are done in about 3 weeks. I am planning a trip.....I am going to go by train to Virginia soon. My nephew retires from the Navy after 20 years. He has served in Desert Storm, and Iraq. So this is pretty special. I believe he is a Commander. It will be great fun hanging out with the family for a few days. I plan to go business class, so who knows might meet so one special.....Speaking of special, or touched might be a better word for it. I ran into the local drugstore today to drop off some scripts. There was this lady there that I worked with before like 15 years ago, even back then I thought her elevator didn't get to the second floor, any how she was in a pair of fuzzy freaking PJ's.....When I asked her why ,,,she said because she can- OK, I thought. Then she went on to tell me she's at the Coxiackie Prison. I asked as a Inmate. I found it funny and it seemed to suit her look. She used to be pretty...now she looks like a Junkie.....No teeth...face sunken in. Made me wonder why they didn't seem to screen their applicants working in a prison. She did seem to even grow a set of balls by her reply to me. Don't actually remember what she said or how she said it, it was something on the line of what drugs are you on. I never hold back in saying what I think....some of my friends remind me at times not to use that inside voice but it just comes out. I started this yesterday but had to end quick with Midgie come over to go with me to get my ticket at the train station. So now as I finish this I look on my ticket and realize the hotty of the ticket teller gave me this month instead of next so I had to run down and correct it......Hair all in place,,,,street clothes I went only to not see him there but I did correct my ticket......Happy Trails!!!

Like Waldo, I am Here Somewhere

2008-10-03T06:09:00.006-05:00

I tried to slow down a bit and blog, I miss that part of my life. But it seems all my time is occupied with either work, or my garden and my projects. Plus I am teaching my two nephews to drive. One is 16 and he is determined to get his licence before winter, most of his friends are all trying to. One friend rushed into going on the road test and failed it big time. So now Johnathan realizes there is a lot to learn. We have so much fun learning to drive and laugh so hard at times. It is different than learning to drive with his parents, they seem to yell. At times he has a led foot, humm wonder where he learned that. Any how he has the road driving and almost the city driving, we are now practicing parel parking, he hates it. But with time he will get it great I am sure. RJ does good on the road he just needs to adjust his speed with the brake with out causing his aunt to suffer whip lash and the passengers in the back to remain in the back. Last week we all headed to Saugerties for the garlic festival. Midgie and my other nephews and niece came, plus a BBF of mine, Karen. We had a blast. I even bought way to much "things" that I really don't need. I have Polish garlic, German garlic and I really can't tell the freaking difference on ether one. This coming up week end is a Apple festival that I would love to go to, but with only one day off and wanting to do that, plus go hiking I am torn into what I want to do. { J } would like to do something, I think but he refuses to go if I am taking the boys, Well Johnathan has to work so I hope to hang out with RJ and spoil him. I told {J} that is his dissuasion, I think I have more fun with hanging with my family and friends any how, So we shall see. I am also going to post Situation Sunday this I promise. I will do it definitely once a month till more people want to play then it will more on to every other week as planned. Well its a coal mining day so gotta run, won't get done from my day till 9pm. I change hats at 5pm. Happy Trails!!!

Yadda Update

2008-09-26T05:28:00.004-05:00

Today is a yucky day here in the North East. I awoke to rain, now I love the sound of rain and at times welcome a rainy day to stay at home and get caught up on house chores, watch some TV...cook...play some of my music. But today I have to deliver the mail ugh. All it means to me is a wet day, hair all a mess, and it always sets me daydreaming. Lately I have been really getting anode at the fact I work so much and ( J ) doesn't. Grant it all the work I do is because I want to be able to enjoy life not just "get by". He pays all the bills and saves every penny. When we go out to dinner I foot the bill, and he does not even enjoy being there. I really need to figure all this out. There is so much I like to do with a partner that he does not. Do I need to move on and grow or just stay and "get by" with the hum drum of things....So much to think about. These pictures on the page are from our last camping trip on Cape Cod. I have to remind my self of the things we do that are fun. But then I think....I love photography....Did he take any interest in my pictures...did he see these shots...No. And that bugs me. I look at my picture taking as a form of art....Some day I would love to have one whole room with some of my pictures enlarged in it. Time to get ready for work. Wishing I was on this sail boat, enjoying all that is around me. Sunday I will post Situation Sunday, I post it every other Sunday, from the tracker I can tell numerous people check it out, but none play or leave there link, spread the word!! And play along. How does that saying go ,,,,If you don't use it you will loose it. Happy Trails!!!

Situation Sunday # 62

2008-09-14T18:18:00.003-05:00

Welcome back all to Situation Sunday! Feel free to answer any day of the week. Leave a link so that others might see your opinion of the answer.

Situation #1- You are in charge of Search-Rescue and Recovery of a small coastal town. At low tide, woman clearly distraught was walking along the rock jetty, with her infant child in her arms. She drops her child accidentally between the rocks. It is a 4-5 foot drop.....water goes between at high tide. Each boulder weighs close to a ton. What and how do you plan the rescue....What do you do?

Situation # 2

Your Mother is in a Nursing home. That truly is the best in the county where you live. You visit her a few times a week. Take home her laundry and wash her clothes; You take her out to functions at your club, 3-4 times a summer. You have 7 siblings that 6 of them live in the same county. One other sibling visits her once a week, and tries to take her out then. The other sibling hates the home and wants to move her to a home nearer her, that also her father in law is in. You totally despise that home. Having done private duty in it for a year, you have stated if she goes there you will not visit. You know the other sibling's mind is made up.....What do you do?

Situation # 3

You have waited 15 years to go regular at this job....you are next in line for the promotion. Due to one union rule after another it seems like it is taking forever. So as you wait, you are just the sub. The boss in charge thinks the regulars are the next best thing to sliced bread and they can do no wrong. Every time you plan a trip or medical appointment.....the person who you cover for decides they need that day. What do you do?

The Camping Trip

2008-09-12T08:04:00.005-05:00

We are home from our trip. I really didn't want to come home yet. We started out on Sunday, the 7Th day of this month. Headed straight to Mohegan Sun for some gaming and dinner. It was not my lucky time, I lost. We did have a great dinner at the Buffet and even ran into a friend and member from our one boat club. All the years going there we never run into any one we know so that was a surprise. On Monday we headed to Rhode Island, we walked along the Cliff walk. It was breath taking! The weather was perfect and every where you looked you wanted to capture that picture. From there we headed down to Scusset State Park. There we set up the camper nestled in between the trees and the shrubs. We

were right next to the ocean on one side and the canal on the other side. It was very neat watching the boats go up and down the canal. By taking the canal the ships saved 162 miles. Instead of going all the way to the tip of Cape Cod, the took the 7 mile canal trip and saved hours of travel. I found it to be very interesting. Along the canal there is a service road that goes the whole length, that is mostly used for biking, jogging and walking. We rode our bikes about 1/4 of the way. Next time I go I will spend the whole day riding from beginning to end. Now that I am home my run on the rat wheel begings. I have to be to work by 5pm....and I need to go visit a few friends first. This Sunday I shall go back to Situation Sunday....for now I will end with a shot I love, Happy Trails!!!

Updates

2008-09-06T05:59:00.005-05:00

Monday we shall venture to the Cape and stay there till Thursday. I am looking forward to that, and checking out Martha's Vineyard. I am sure I will have loads of great shots to post. Then on Sunday we have a BBQ, at our club. I decided to go and get raffle prizes and the list for that is getting good with $25 gift certificates to great restaurants....{ I went to all the places I love to eat at, LOL.} And also on Sunday, I will start Situation Sunday, So mark your calendar for that! Now I must get ready and tackle the day....doing a double duty day with changing hats at 5pm....Shall be home Sunday then its off to fun,,,,Yippie...Happy Trails!!

Friday's Feast : Food for Thought

2008-08-29T06:17:00.003-05:00

JOIN IN!!!Food 4 Thought Friday This Meme can be found at:http://jodibeacon.blogspot.com/2008/08/since-fridays-feast-chef-has-been-out.html

Breakfast: If you were given one extra hour everyday - how would you use that time? I would play in my garden, or ride my bike.

Lunch: What is your favorite season and why? Summer, I love boating and camping, and we seem to do much more of it in the summer.

Dinner: Are you a tight squeezer, a delicate hugger, a back patter, a hand shaker, or a hands off completely person? It depends, I do hate shaking people's hand, my germ fear phobia. I am a delicate hugger. I give hugs to family and friends and at times if a co-worker is going throu a hard time.

Midnight Snack:Have you ever gone skinny dipping? Yes, I love skinny dipping. I try to do it when ever we go out on the river. Of course I do it alone,lol. My boyfriend is to modest to do it, after 30 years he still wont. When I am in the water I remove my suit and try to throw it on the boat so it hits him, and he gets joy at throwing it back at me when I need to get dressed in a hurry if other people are coming.

Recipe for this Week (instead of your recipe for life - what is it for just this week?) Looking forward to the upcoming week, I am only working 58 hours so I will have 3 days of daylight off ( I have to be to work at 5pm), so I will have a lot of time for fun things. Going to try to do them all with out having to argue with J.

Fall Is In The Air

2008-08-28T05:57:00.004-05:00

The day's here are definitely getting shorter. By 8pm now it is dark. It is beautiful during the day, weather in the high 70's low 80's. The Sand swallows have left their sand castle homes and headed south. It seems like this summer flew by. I still have not completed my kayak trips or for that matter started them. We have only camped 2 times. This Sunday we did make it down to the Round out, in Kingston NY. The photo is taken up the creek of a colorful barge.We ate at my favorite restaurant Ship To Shore. The food was fabulous. And the service was good, not great just good. I was disappointed in the ride going back, (J) went fast, I hate going fast. He said just till the Saugerties light house,,,,once we hit it he slowed right down.....for 5 minutes then it was back up on plane. Once we got near our island he slowed down so I could swim....but by that time I didn't even want to, I said just go on lets get home. I really am trying to figure him out before I waste any more time. Most of the time he seems unhappy and mad at every one. Nothing he seems to do brings about any happiness to him. We were suppose to take our pop up camper and camp at our boat club. It was something I was looking forward to. Then 2 days before we were to go, he said no we are not camping, you are working and I don't want to discuss it or argue about it. In my head I hear " I have spoken, my word is all that needs to be heard, that is it, you are dismissed" I said screw you in sailor talk, and you know you really suck. That was all I said before I left for my other job. Did I mention I worked all day in the heat and delivered the mail, and now I was going to work again all night and do the mail again. I didn't have to be to work till 9am on Thursday and Friday and I had visions in my head of jumping into the cool river in the morning and bathing. Kayaking after work and having fun. I also planned a BQ at club with my sister Midgy and her children. I invited my brother Bobby and Mike and their family but they couldn't make it. We did have the cookout...but soon as we got to the club (J) headed right to the grill to cook. No fun....I think he had it in his head he had to cook,,,but I really was capable of doing that...and I would have had a smile on my face. Years ago I tried to teach him if you can't do it with love in your heart and happiness don't do it at all. Times I think he is like a vampire...but instead of blood he tries to drain the joy and happiness out of my life. Perhaps he is trying to capture some of that for his self...who knows. Speaking of joy....time to get ready for work and have fun doing it. I also must pick a bunch of flowers to bring to my Momma' at the end of the day.....Happy Trails!!!

Just checking In

2008-08-23T06:17:00.004-05:00

It seems like I drifted away from the pc....At night I come home and once I turn on the TV, something catches my eye and there I remain. This season I got hooked on Big Brother. I never really watched it before but now I am rooting for Keesha ( spelling I am sure is wrong) or Dan to win. Stupid I know but it is fun, lol. Next week I have a total full load of work, doing the mail all week, and raising to my other job by 5pm. I actually love keeping busy. ( J ) will be hanging out doing his thing, he is more hooked on the TV than I, I think he has it on 24/7....Ugh. This shot is from Plum Island, when you walk along the beach you see numerous drift wood art. Where people gather the pieces and form some type of construction. This one I did...I gathered all the items from all over the beach and put it together, It is my sail boat. ( J ) sat ignoring my art actually I think he was pretending he didn't know the chick in the bikini dragging the the wood and playing. LOL but I had a great time doing it. Now it's 7:30 am, I need to be to work by 8am....Still need to shower....get gas in the truck and drive 15 minutes to work.....can I do it....Yes....Well lets just say I will try my hardest.....Happy Trails!!!!

Friday's Feast, A new Version

2008-08-15T05:12:00.004-05:00

I played this version today.....It can be found at : http://jodibeacon.blogspot.com/2008/08/food-4thought-friday.html Since the Friday's Feast Chef has been out of the kitchen for quite some time (and may be for a while yet), I have decided to start my own version until he/she is able to return. I am calling it
Food 4 Thought Friday. It is generally the same idea, with just a little twist. Feel free to play along for some yummy fun! I will post a new one each Thursday afternoon for those that are on a different time zone. JOIN IN!!!

Food 4 Thought Friday Breakfast

What is your first thought when you wake up? It can't be morning already....I wanna sleep more!

. Lunch If you could go out to lunch with any three people (real of fictitious/ from any time period, dead or alive) , which three people would you choose and why? That's a hard one, I am close with my family and my friends.....with no hard feeling I would say all is welcomed to come, But to keep it small....My Mother and my sisters Midgie and AnnA.

Dinner What is your favorite restaurant and what do you like the most on the menu? I have favorite restaurants where ever I go. Locally we go by boat to Yanni's 111, in Athens and the Calamari, and entree. When near Salisbury, MA it is Strippers, Prime Rib! At the casino Mohican's sun it is Micheal Jordon's bread! At Fox woods it's Planet Hollywood the entree and veggies.

Midnight Snack: What do you usually think about right before you fall asleep? The day.

Recipe for this Week (instead of your recipe for life - what is it for just this week?) To be happy healthy, and content!!

My Postal Life....Another day at the Beach

2008-08-14T04:54:00.005-05:00

Wow....I cann't believe it has been close to a month since I blogged. I would have loved to beem on Holiday the whole past month: but as reality hits home, it was mostly work that has kept me away. Still just a RCA, I swear I must be the longest freaking RCA in history. My route was suppose to be posted when Charlie retired 2.5 hundred years ago. But because of a new clause in the contract it remains open......waiting for auto sorting of first class mail....oops that has happened...new clause now waiting for auto sortation on magazines...have I mentioned here that the president of our union is a carrier on one of the 3 routes in the office....plus he is on the Executive Committee for the Union. And I think he is screwing the State Stewart. How ever you look at it I am getting screwed all around with no benefits. I would suggest any and all RCA's in the postal job field to drop out of the Union or never to join. The Union does nothing to support us and we are the backbone to this organization. Grant it when you get in trouble then you can join and perhaps the Union might represent you. I have spent 14 years in the Union and only with this last postmaster have I seeked their help....But I never totally got it. Ugh....did I mention rants..and yadda and the connection to PMS....Time to smile bite the bullet and get to work.....Happy Trails !!

My Yadda On Platium Weddings

2008-07-19T07:44:00.003-05:00

Lately I have been watching TV. Usually I just keep it on Lifetime, or a news channel and keep it on for noise, as I am doing something else. But this past week I have been watching different channels, and there are a lot of them, lol. I have seen this preview of this show called Platinum Weddings, I have not watched it but the concept of spending $75,000 for a wedding is crazy. Then I hear the average prize of a wedding is $28,000 how freaking crazy is that. Now I am not a frugal person but if I was to get married I would keep it so much more simple and use the extra money on something that would last. I would invite 20 - 30 close friends, ok 75 counting my close family.....I would have some one cook up 50 lbs of Barillo Pasta.....A separate bowl of meat balls for the vegans.....a huge pot of sauce....a huge pot of oil and garlic and a salad....Total cost $100, shoot I forgot the Veno,,,ok make that $150.00 thats it. No need for gifts, our gift is saving all that freaking money! Ok, before I go any farther.......I am not getting married! Another show I did watch was a reality show about teen age couples being put with toddlers, for a few days....then pre teens... They acted like there parents and handled the daily situations of parent hood. I am sure it taught them to use protection, and prevention. I am off now and I promise to shut the TV down and the putor and go out in reality and enjoy the day....I do have to work at 5 so I want to make the most of it!!! Happy Trails!!!!

No Friday's Feast This Am

2008-07-18T05:49:00.004-05:00

Yikes, I finally got to sit and enjoy a Friday's Feast.....But the Chef is still sleeping. I went there...but the menu was the same as last week, so maybe it will freshen up as the day unfolds. Me I shall jump in the shower and stop procrasting going to work. Last month I gave the postmaster a slip saying I was to be out for 2 weeks in July. She needed it so she could do the scheduling. Yesterday she asked me where it was....I told her I gave it to you....she asked when I said a month ago.....OH no you didn't. I said if your desk was a little organized you would be able to find it. You give something to your boss and you don't expect them to loose it, but I guess they are human like the rest of us. I wounder what else she misplaces trying to do her job. I went back to the doctors and got a copy....I also copied it a few times. Maybe her hormones are acting up. A lot of times I hear how stupid she is, and from the customers that don't like going into the post office when she is waiting on customers. And a lot of times I hear " How the hell did she become a Postmaster. Lets just add that to another wounder of the world. For now Happy Trails!!!!

Where is Situation Sunday

2008-07-13T20:01:00.003-05:00

Situation Sunday is on hold till September. With so much to do these days in the summer I barely have time to exhale. I have contacted Gary who does the Daily Meme's and let him know I am on hold till September.....for now those of you who like to play can check out the past ones and see how you might handle them. As of the morrow I will update my blog as to my daily rants and raves, and Yadda. Happy Trails for now, and may your day have been Situation free! Cheers!

Small Glimse Into My World

2008-07-03T05:12:00.005-05:00

This past Sunday, I got off work at 9am, after a full day and night at the salt mines. Lucky for me { J } was just getting back from getting the papers. We headed onto the big boat and off to breakfast. It was a beautifull day. With the one day off I wanted to cram in as much fun as I could. We got off the river and headed to High Falls, It is such a gorgeous place, I would love to jump in there and swim. Times flies.....now it is already 6:30 am....I wanna go look around my garden....go for a quick walk and take a shower and back to the salt mines......Happy Trails!!!

Situation Sunday # 61

2008-06-29T04:45:00.000-05:00

Seems like it gets later and later, with so many things to do on my day off. Boating came first.....Now on to Situations. Remember no CELL phones, and please leave your link.

Situation # 1

You and a friend are out exploring back roads in the mountains. It is raining pretty hard and lighting and thunder. It looks like 9pm with the skies so dark, but it is 11am in the morning. You are on a rugged road, that is dirt and only one lane. There is grass growing in the middle of the road, and that shows you not many cars travel this way. About 5 miles into the woods you notice a man walking, with no houses around you joke that it is a mountain man. 5 minutes later a tree crashes on your car, your companion is out cold with just a bump on their head, but they are trapped. You are able to get out. With thoughts running through your head about the movie Deliverance......What do you do?

Situation # 2
You are driving down the road and you notice the car in front of you hits a deer and doesn't even bother to stop. It has a fawn with it that is now all alone, and about 1 hour old. It runs and hides next to the road waiting for it's Momma to get up....Clearly it won't......What do you do?

2008-06-27T04:27:00.003-05:00

Picture taken by me :>) at North Lake, last year.

Feast One Hundred & Ninety FiveJune 27th, 2008 •

Appetizer: What is the weather like today where you live? Right now it is early morning, no rain but looks cloudy. Muggy, area's of fog. The weather man calls for humidity, chance of storms and in the 80's. Very strange weather.
Soup: On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being highest, how career-minded are you? As I get older I seem to be getting more career minded. Always thinking maybe I should go back to school for nursing, but I am making a decent living being a mail carrier.
Salad: What type of window coverings do you have in your home? Blinds, curtains, shutters, etc.? Many different rooms, blinds in the kitchen, shades and curtains in most other rooms, with drapes in the 3 bedrooms.
Main Course: Name something that instantly cheers you up. Sunshine, and money!
Dessert: How many times do you hit the snooze button on a typical morning? I used to hit it a bunch for a hour, then would wake up well rested. These last 2 days I just got straight up and feel tired...I need a nap already.

2008-06-26T05:09:00.002-05:00

This is from the camping trip. We camped in Copake, New York. The camp ground is called Waubeeka. It has numerous hiking trails. A fishing lake, and a swimming lake. Kayaking and canoeing is allowed. I really enjoyed staying there. All the street names in the park are named after Indian tribes....I am still trying to figure out if all of the tribes are Northern ones, Thats another search for another day. I really hated leaving, it ment going back to work,,,even thou I love what I do, I love being off more. I headed back to 2 of my cases soon as I left the park. Also yesterday was a mail day....They suprized me with a cake...Pinapple upside down cake YUMMY. I haven't had that in years. I can't belive I got up at 5 am, and still find my self running late.....off to the salt mines I go!! Happy Trails!!!

We went shopping yesterday, to get things for camping. and also for me to get food to make a few dishes for my nephews graduation party on Saturday. He can't comprehend why I am making dishes for the party, and giving a gift. After 30 years you think he would get it.....It's my family! We are close, I am so tired of trying to explain that to him. On the way home, I called a close friend to tell them a co-worker who had a knee replace ment wasn't doing good. He hurt like hell and was nauseous, I was going to visit him after work for a few minutes. { J } says fine we will then leave Friday for camping, insteasd of Thursday as planned.....I called him a dick head......He called me a f#cking cunt. After the 3rd saying of that I got out of the car and walked the last block home.........So today we still are not speaking.......I will go to work, visit my Mom.....Visit my co-worker....Then come home....home that used to be a home,,,just seems like a place I come to at the end of the day....Happy Trails for now.

Situation Sunday #60

2008-06-15T08:06:00.005-05:00

Welcome To Situation Sunday. Today is some situations from the past. No cell phones allowed to help you and please leave your link. Enjoy
#1}Your spouse has just won the lottery. Before you got married you signed a pre-Nup. Now that they have won 50 million they decide they don't want to share the life with you any more......What do you do?

Situation # 2 } About 5 years ago you had a relationship with this guy, it lasted about a year. It didn't seem to last and it ended.

Weekend Update

2008-06-09T05:11:00.002-05:00

Saturday I did the mail in 100+ degrees, in the mail truck. Good news is I must have lost weight, at least water weight. After that I raced home at 4pm, jumped in the shower, and was about to go to my one 16 hour case, when my elderly friend about 15 miles away called.....She missed placed her hearing aid....she can't hear the birds. I told her Sunday morning I will come and look....after I get off work. Sunday is my fun day mind you....from 10 am till the next day I am off....Yippie. Well I hunted and hunted for that hearing aide....with no luck. I even took her to the resteraunt she was at friday night to look.....nope. It is lost. I told her she will just have to get a new one.....little did I know they are $3000. dollars. Shit! I prayed to the Saints to help her find it. Left there and headed for home...{ J ) was waiting to go out on the river with me. I gave him $100. bucks for gas....he is a freaking poor guy. Well 15 minutes into the ride if poured,,,,we tried to beat the storm and head south but it was all around us. We headed home in the rain at 4pm, I get to try it again in 2 weeks.....Next day off is Sunday and that is booked with Fathers day B.Q. at one of our clubs. About 7pm I realized I forgot all about Situation Sunday....Oh NO....Well I will try again next week on that.....For now it's Happy Trails!

My updates

2008-05-27T19:11:00.004-05:00

Yesterday was Memorial Day, It was a beautiful weather day at that. At least for those not marching. Johnathan had to be at 2 parades, One at 9am, the other at 11am. Which are about 15 or so miles apart. My alarm kept going off, but I looked so content he didn't have the heart to wake me till a little after 8. I made the mad dash to get caffine into my system, look presentable and off we went. We made it there with 5 minutes to spare. The second parade I thought was going to be in Hillsdale, so I told my one pt. who lives in that town we would take her, come to find out it wasn't there but farther away. I couldn't disapoint her so it was rush rush all the way. I was so proud of him marching. We all had a great day! The day before we road our bikes 5 miles to get a icecream cone, then 5 miles back.....whew that was fun! We also went hiking all the while including {J } which he declined every freaking invite and laid guilt trip after guilt trip on me for not being home, that is a whole another issue that I can write a book on, but it's to depressing so I won't go farther. I am now home for a few minutes then it is off to by night job, I have a cousin taking care of the boys tonight, so I can work with out worring.....teenages boys home with a 26 year old whats to worry right! Actually they are all good smart guys so I feel secure. My brother and sister in law did a great job raising them and teaching them right from wrong, and to have fun. This I am so proud of. I wish Midgie came out and joined us in some fun with her kids so the cousins could get to hang out a bit, but with just 3 more days to go, and she is so busy I just don't see that happening. Seems I invited her the same amount of times I asked { J },,,and nope. Oh well each there own right, time to get moving.....Happy Trails!!!

This is proof Obama and Clinton have decided to work closer for the Democratic cause.

Do the days go...Last post I did was Situation Sunday. That was four freakin days ago. I am so glad I have today totally off!!. These past few days I have been working 2 jobs with just a 4 hour break and it seems every day I had something to fill those 4 hours. J's birthday was on Monday, I got him some shirts which he already has tons of. A Columbia fleece jacket that can join the others in the closet. It is soo hard to shop for someone that you have spent more than half your life with and they have everything. He is not the type to like a trip, or anything the normal person would like....since on his planet Mars he was the king. Also in the time that has lapsed my 2 nephews have got there learners permit to drive. Yesterday I took Johnathan out driving. We kept the speed below 30mph. He did great since it was his second time out. Only once did I have to grab the wheel and I swear a Angel helped. We were heading back to the house, it is on a narrow road, there was this truck parked on the edge and a van was coming the other way, We should have stopped to let the van pass but it happened so quickly......I and the angel drove between the both of them with a 1/4 inch to spare on both sides....Whew. The van was my brother coming to check on us. He said he wouldn't go to his wife, he knew all would be alright. But if he heard the fire alarm he was going....The alarm went off and he took off looking for us. Next road drive is with RJ. He only got 2 wrong on his test, And Bobby says he drives pretty good. So looking forward to that. Today being my day off I slept to 11:45,,,feels like I missed most of the day so time to move....Happy Trails for now!!!

Do you like anchovies? Have you tried them? I really don't care for them, but I do like them in Cesar salad dressing, and I use them in a special spaghetti sauce recipe, I think it is a Sicilian sauce where you put anchovies and raisins in it,...it is awesum!
Again I did not post a 13 Thursday list, it seemed to long to do when you are pressed for time. I have been sooo busy lately, doing more jobs than a illegal Mexican. My one patient who has Alzheimer's disease, we tell him we are part of his team, and I like that term or meaning. And it got me thinking about my own team and who is on it....besides my family, who would do anything to help me, I have 2 good friends that I can count on. Karen and Linda. And I am glad they are on my team. (J) I don't feel is on my team, I am on his thou. If I needed him to do something, he does it with regret and anger. He feels like a houseboy, but he doesn't comprehend it is not like that, it just helps me in time. I always feel if you cann't do it with love ion your heart , just don't do it, and to him it is a freakin burden. I wish he wasn't like that. So think who is on your team. And let me know the answer. Happy Trails!!

Have you ever fallen victim to an embarrassingly bad haircut? (Bonus points if can show us a picture) Yes, a few times, but actually the bad hair cut was caused by White Ziffendale, and the fact that I forgot I really don't know how to cut hair.2. Have you ever seen the musical "Hair"?I was very young when it came out on Broadway, my older siblings did go see it thou.3. Which popular hairstyle of the past would you hate most to see come back into style?Not sure if this is the right name, but the Flip, for girls....Where the hair is flipped back and a head band is in place, ugh. And the greese look for the guys.4. Who is the hairiest person you know?Garry5. Have you ever found a hair in your food at a restaurant? Yes I have. It is a definate turn off, UGH.

If the statement, 'You are what you eat' was true, I would be a _Multi-Grain Bread______.If you had to have one piece of music (softly) playing in your mind for the rest of your life, what would you want it to be? A Harp.What is the most important thing in any relationship? That's a toss up, I was going to put Trust, but then I think Understanding is equally important.

Yesterday was Mothers day, I am childless and at times I found my self a little sad, at times, throu out the day. Like after one of my best friends told me she feels like a failure in life, She has a beautiful home, all the Toys you would want, Pool, Hot tub,camper,boat, pool house, ex. A wonderful husband that loves her, too much, as she tells me....2 great boys. Then she told me about this Lady in town....A lawyer, married to another lawyer....beautiful home....she went to the river yesterday, walked around distraught. As others by the river observed her. She then put down her belongings and walked into the river with her mouth open. They tried to revive her, but couldn't. Now I don't understand how the people there could watch her and just let her walk in and drown. You would think by the time she was up to her knees they would have pulled her out. Here I have less than these 2 people and I find a way to go on, and be a Happy person, even with my moments of sadness at times I am so grateful for what I do have. The most important thing to me in my life is my family. I have lots of great Sisters and Brothers. Terrific Mom. And I might be prejudice but I think I have the best nieces and nephews! Well time to get ready to P.O.P.T. Happy Trails !!!!!!

Welcome, Relax and let your imagination take over and play Situation Sunday. Please leave your link in the comments, and remember no cell phones are in use to help you solve the situations. Enjoy!!
Situation # 1
You boss has invited you and another co-worker out to supper. You both are up for the same promotion, and only one will get it. The boss is taking you both to his favorite restaurant, that happens to be owned by another member of his family. You order a steak well done. The entree comes and is set before you....You notice it is way under cooked, as you start on the vegetables you notice a few strands of hair in the mashed potatoes........What do you do, or say when your waiter comes and asks you how everything is?
Situation # 2
You have volunteered to answer phones at a help center for the weekend. Your first phone call comes from a 12 year old girl, that in between the tears you make out that she has caught her mother in bed with the neighbor and what should she do, she loves her Daddy and can't understand grownup doings. What do you tell her?
Situation # 3
It is Mothers Day! Your Mom lives in the same town that you do. She has always been very critical of you, your whole life. Nothing you have ever done is right in her eyes. Now how do you Honor Thy Mother, and make Mothers Day Special ?

P.O.P.T.

2008-05-10T04:37:00.003-05:00

It's morning here in the Northeast, I have the TV on in the back ground.....info comercials are on....I am almost convinced I need a total Gym for only $49 trial offer. Flip the channel and the Shark steam mop is something I can use to...I think the reason they have all these infomercials on so early, they know our brains are not awake to logic so early. The coming up week, I will be doing the mail all week. Actually till the 21st of the month. I am dreading it. Not the work part, just dealing with the postmaster. At times she is fine and other times she gets a bug planted in her but and goes on a roll. I found out last saturday she was ticked because she thought I peed before I signed out. Unbelievable! It's ok too pee and then keep on working for a hour but to sign out right after peeing is a no-no! Ugh. Well I signed out before I peed that day but she thought wrong. I now make it a joke among the other workers....P.O.P.T. = Peeing On postal Time. It's really funny with her, every other postmaster would be there early in the AM.....She comes most of the time dragging in at after 9am, spends most of the time on the putor or phone, and a few times selling real estate on postal time. Sometimes I wish the post hirer uppers would preform a sting operation on her, and see how their money can be saved. This past week I was told she was screaming at the top of her lungs at a clerk, creating a hostile work enviroment. If I was there I would have walked out till it calmed down. I have done that in the past, when she was yelling at Charlie. The reason I walked out then.....I didn't want to be a witness if Charlie smacked the crap out of her. So now I have to dread the next week and a half working with her. The only gratification I shall get is also doing my home care after work. There I feel like I can make someone feel better and help out the family and feel apreciated. Well today will be a goodday at the PO.....she is off....Yippie!! Time to hit the shower it still will be a long day....2 cases after the mail and back her to post the Situation Sunday.....Come on back and play!! Happy Trails!!########################################################

Dream Job Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Person asked the young programmer, "And what starting salary were you looking for?" The programmer said, "In the neighborhood of $75,000 a year, depending on the benefit's package." The HR Person said, "Well, what would you say to a package of 5-weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, company matching retirement fund to 50% of salary, and a company car leased every 2 years - say, a red Corvette?" The programmer sat up straight and said, "Wow!!! Are you kidding?" And the HR Person said, "Certainly, ...but you started it."

The Kentucky Derby I was really looking foward to. My Dad alway's played the horses, and once a year I play them. It is very exciting for me, and I wait in anticipation as the race comes on. I am niave to a lot of things and never seem to see the cruelty behind the scenes till this year. I like millions of others played the trivecta, Big Brown to come in first place, with Kernal John second and Eight Bells to place third. But a big part of me wanted Eight Bells to actually Win the race....I bought 2 $5.00 tickets for her to Win. One for myself and one for Midgy.....She ran a hard race. Being the only Fili and all the rest colts. It was like a race of 1 Women against the Men, But in actuality the Jockey ran her to hard....he was whipping her to go faster....too me that was to mean.....in the end she broke both ankles.....I am sure she broke them running and the Jockey kept running her....It was freakin sad! They put her to sleep at the end of the race. A beautiful animal that died a cruel and unfortunate death. When she should have been used as a pet. I hate racing now. That is my thoughts on Racing!!!!

Started two new cases this week. Breaks up the humdrum, dealing with different people. One patient is a elderly stroke patient, the other justs needs companionship. So besides my Alzheimer gentle man I now have 2 others to help, which I just love doing. All have different levels of care, so it always keeps on changing. Also today I did another mail route, not the usual 2 I do in a week. I am really surprise my head can take all these changes and names, and still function, lol. One thing I can deal with is old people, or sick people. What I have a hard time dealing with is stupid, people. Yesterday I went to the drive thru ATM, see the key word here was DRIVE Thru...Not walk up....Well I waited there while, this walk up guy tried 3 times to retrieve cash, each time looking at the receipt the machine chucks out....Finally as he tried on the 4Th time...I said " You know it's taking you so long, they took your car. Finally as he left and I started to pull forward, here comes this young mother with her kid running all around....Hello folks this is a Drive thru ATM! I told her, you know there is a walk up window to use right around the building. What if I was just pulling into the Drive thru and her kid was playing , makes you wonder how these folks made it so far as they did. Ok...that was my pet peeve of yesterday. Today was good, busy and so glad I didn't have to go to the ATM again......Happy Trails!

Well, the weekend flew by. I worked on my gardens, most are done, except the Lilac garden, and around the raspberry bushes. the goose berry bush is doing great this year but I am sure those no seeum bugs will return. I also invented a great salad, a shrimp macaroni salad with dill. It was loaded with onions, celery, tomatoes, red pepper and horseradish. I just love using dill! I had 3 different kinds of shrimp in it...1 can, some large shrimp, and some medium shrimp. When ever I think of shrimp, it reminds me of that Forest Gump movie, where his friend wants to run a shrimp business, he goes on and on on all the ways you can use shrimp, scampi, cocktail, salad, baked boiled , broiled, grilled ex......Time had a way of ex-scaping me, since I started this post, it comes with age...inbetween I started wash, started paying bills...vacumed, now in a mad dash to finish it and get out the door....Happy Trails!!

Update, like every freakin thing. Is it like this for every body, or just people in my mind zone of 30. Shhhh, don't tell the freaking body we are really past that. I seem to always have a 100 and 1 things to do, but yet only because I make it so. Seems I have put my whole life on a schedule and I seem to be running out trying to cram all in that I want to. {J} warned me I will have a head ache in the morning; great must be because of the spinal tap procedure and the Dr.'s orders of ice your back for the next 24 hours and not to drive. I did not hear them say no Vino'. I also went straight from the procedure....where they gave me a sedation to relax me, to my friend Jenn's and was getting her home in order for arrival. She has been gone way to long. But when you have the money and no ties I don't blame her....did I mention Dam her. Only kidding she is a sweetheart. I wish I had her life. Grant it having ambitious parents helped. My Dad was like I am, we enrolled in the spend as you go program. Course had it much harder with 8 kids, unfortunately for them, oops I mean me....he put them last. But if you could put thought of...into pennies....I would have been one rich little inheritance child. But...mind you now, he has given me the gift of not to worry, and my Mom in the belief of God that every thing will work out. I have a lot of shit happening with in my walls that very few can even imagine....but I put them and their worries on a shelf; OK...could be the top shelf...but I will go on thinking with the Right side of my brain- Dam it's been a long time since I said this...BUT..Happy Trails!!!

Just My Yadda

2008-04-14T19:07:00.002-05:00

Well it seems like lately I have been doing every thing else but blogging. Midgie is visiting our other sister in Florida, and besides missing her, her father in law is staying at her house watching Bella aka Copake. Sunday I went out there and took him over the border shopping with me, I wanted to go to Guido's and get some good food. They really have the best deli around with things I like to eat....sesame tofu,humm also I got some portabella stacker's,,,marinated portabella's with mozzarella, grilled red peppers, tomato's and Swiss chard. They were so good. And some chicken liver pate'. Now all these great things I don't have to worry about {J} woofing them down. Nothing else lasts in the refridge long when he likes some thing, that I like to. Work has been going so so. The government in the postal system has a way of trying to pay the least to there employees that do a good job. They actually give management rewards for getting the most out of the workers with less payout of their pockets. Which is a fricken joke when you see what the postmasters do on the job. The clerks do all the work. Not sure if when the route comes up if I will take it....It depends on the pay of course, and the time. If I have to spend 6 days a week there and 5 hours a day and the pay is less than 20grand I don't want it. I got a lot of things on my plate right now that I am thinking about, my future. {J's} attitude and how he feels about my family, actually how he Parsee's the whole human race. I mentend this I am sure before, but we have been together a long time I think it's close to 30 years. So we were very young when we started living together....I was only 16 and back then that was fine, actually for a long time they were but we seemed to grow up and change both of us, and the most of the time I am not happy. I want someone that will swim with me, soak in a hottub. Workout with me. Ride a bike together not a mile ahead of me. And as I get older I am finding just harder and harder to deal with it at more times than not. I am tired of going freakin dutch treat or paying it all UGH. Well enough of my bitching....I gotta get ready to go to work

With your permission they would like to start digging them up and putting them all together in one section. WHAT DO YOU DO?

Situation #2As you are driving down the interstate, (95) You think to your self,,,Thank God it is not that busy you can make great time. As this on coming car passes you and starts to get back in your lane, you tap your brakes a little,, and then you notice they are not working.....as you try again to tap them, your foot goes straight to the floor......What do you do?

3}You are entering a contest on " What makes you the most glad to be alive" what do you write about? And why?

4}Your spouse has gone away on a business trip. They are going to be gone a week. When they get home, they seem a little strange at first, but as days go by all is normal. One night you just can't sleep, you try but your still awake. So you get up to watch some TV. You happen to turn on " To Catch A Predator".On that show you happen to see your spouse being caught, and charged what do you do?

Among your acquaintances, who’s the best screamer? That would be my sister Midgie

When was the last time you cheered for anything? My niece's basketball game, when that was in season,think 2 month's ago.
Whom did you last yell at? My nephew Johny for jumping on my blazer like he was going to play "Micky in the Toaster"{ That is a game me and my siblings made up when we played on junked cars}

..
Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road?

1}Mohammed Aldouri (Iraqi ambassador): The chicken did not cross the road। This is a complete fabrication. We don't even have a chicken.

२}Buddha: If you ask this question, you deny your own chicken-nature.
३}George W। Bush: We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road or not. The chicken is either with us or it is against us. There is no middle ground here.
४}Bill Clinton: I did not cross the road with THAT chicken। What do you mean by chicken? Could you define chicken, please?
५}Howard Cosell: It may very well have been one of the most astonishing events to grace the annals of history. An historic, unprecedented avian biped with the temerity to attempt such an herculean achievement formerly relegated to homo sapien pedestrians is truly a remarkable occurence.

६}Darwin: Chickens, over great periods of time, have been naturally selected in such a way that they are now genetically dispositioned to cross roads.
७}Jacques Derrida: Any number of contending discourses may be discovered within the act of the chicken crossing the road, and each interpretation is equally valid as the authorial intent can never be discerned,because structuralism is DEAD, DAMMIT, DEAD!
८}Einstein: Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road moved beneath the chicken depends upon your frame of reference.
९}Emerson: The chicken didn't cross the road; it transcended it.
१०}Emily Dickinson: Because it could not stop for death.

११}Louis Farrakhan: The road, you will see, represents the black man. The chicken "crossed" the black man in order to trample him and keep him down.
१२}Freud: The fact that you are at all concerned that the chicken crossed the road reveals your underlying sexual insecurity.
१३}Bill Gates: I have just released the new Chicken Office 2000, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook.
बोनुस:
Grandpa: In my day, we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Someone told us that the chicken had crossed the road, and that was good enough for us.

Fool Me Once, Shame On You
1. Have you ever pulled an April Fool's Day prank, or had one pulled on you? Just the usual childish ones when I was little. Nothing really into my adult hood that I can recall.
2. What's the most tasteless joke you've ever heard? I had heard of a lot of them, but usually the tasteless off humor I find the funniest. Example: Donald Duck and Daisy Duck were spending the night together in a hotel room and Donald wanted to have sex with Daisy. The first thing Daisy asked was, "Do you have a condom?" Donald frowned and said, "No.." Daisy told Donald that if he didn't get a condom, they could not have sex. "Maybe they sell them at the front desk," she suggested. So Donald went down to the lobby and asked the hotel clerk if they had condoms. "Yes, we do," the clerk said and pulled one out from under the counter and gave it to Donald. The clerk asked, "Would you like me to put that on your bill? "No!" Donald quacked, "What kind of a pervert do you think I am?"
3. What's your favourite funny movie? Any and every movie that Adam Sandler is in. 4} How gullible are you? Not much at all, I might pretend I believe you or trust you, but in my head I will be thinking, how stupid if you think I believe you. 5} Are you a good sport when it comes to being the butt of a joke? If it a joke where I am not laughing at all I would say No. As always, if you have any ideas for future questions or question sets, please contact us at mondaysab1tch @ hotmail.com (note that the "i" is a "1" because hotmail apparently censors its e-mail addresses).

Situation Sunday # 51

2008-03-30T10:10:00.000-05:00

Rules: No cell phones, Leave a Link. Thanks for playing.

Situation # 1
You are walking down the street, And up ahead of you a large crowd has gathered. There are no laws or rules, or guild lines in this society. They are all stoning the person in the middle. What do you do when that person is a close friend of yours?

Situation # 2
You have hit a animal with your car, that is on the endangered list.Clearly the animal is dead. There was only 6 of these animals left in the world, now there are 5. The fine you know is steep. {$5,000}With also 1 year in jail. No if and or butts. Just 2 week's ago you read in the paper of a Catholic Nun that hit one and received that fine. What do you do?

Situation # 3If you had the power to make this world more perfect or better by doing 3 things, what would they be and why those choices?
