A totally non-informative blog!


Hmm..just started this blog when Coro St came on...so I will type in the Commercials. The picture on the left is one that was drawn by my daughter many years ago..on a very old computer. But I keep it, because I love it. (Does not mean that I am dancing.)
My commentary on summer has apparently gotten it's revenge on me. It is very hot and muggy here. Very. Hot. Humid.
We had a real live horror show here yesterday. Hard to convey the horror unless you were here. Suffice it to say....that a swarm of wasps started coming out of an outlet in our kitchen wall. Tons of wasps....angry wasps. We had nothing to spray them with, so Jim used Tire Cleaner...you know, the stuff that shines the tires on your car. Well apparently it kills wasps. But..only the first swarm...just when we thought we were safe....another swarm appeared. I would have taken a picture of them coming out of the wall outlet...but I was running away screaming. I got stung once..and it still hurts. Jim got stung three times! They wouldn't stop coming. Finally, Jim donned his jacket and got his glue gun..and glued the wall outlet to the wall. And I continued swatting and screaming. Finally it ended. I have a picture of the swept up carcasses. Now, everytime I go into the kitchen, I see those wasps crawling out from behind that wall outlet. The worst of it was...then I had to wash the whole kitchen down..to get the Tire Shiner/Cleaner off the walls, floor, table, chairs, counter...etc etc etc.
On another note.....I am in week three of my slow withdrawal from anti-depressants....in another week and a half I will be drug free! So far...I haven't killed anybody, so I figure..hey...that's good.
Well, not totally drug free... I still sleeping pills. And anti-anxiety drugs...and blood pressure drugs.....and osteoporosis drugs...but that's neither here nor there.
I want off the Anti-Depressants...and actually I feel pretty good.
No more Cymbalta, no more Paxil. If I am depressed..I will just go to bed. Best cure ever..hehehehehehehe.
Now, I am rambling...but these are the things that are going on in my life right now.
Just in case anybody is out there.
Well, Ciao for now mes amigos...
Talk later

Today's subject: Summer

Todays topic...Summer!

Now, as I recall, from my youth...we used to have a season called Summer. And during that long-forgotten season, we had sunny days, blue skies, nice green lawns...and even the smell of freshly mown grass. People would sit outside and mingle with their neighbors, and the smell of barbecue went right through the neighborhood. Some people had a couple of beers, and some people had a glass or two of wine...and all was good.
The children played happily in the yard, swimming in their one foot rubber pool..the animals played together..dogs and cats getting along! The flowers grew neatly and the weeds stayed away. (Well, there were some stubborn dandelions). But all in all it was good.
Now, this Season usually lasted somewhere between June 21.....and (sheesh..I forget when Autumn used to start) let's say Sept 21. just for the heck of it.
Oh yes..there were occasional rainy days..but we needed those..to keep the grass green and the flowers growing.
Also...we didn't have to use our furnaces at all during this wonderful Wonderland period.
My question is..where has that happy time gone? Will it ever return? Where is Summer? Or maybe, more to the point...on what DAY will Summer occur? It's a mystery now, and we are never prepared for it. It could happen any day..and only once.
I think we should rename the Seasons...Let's start with Winter...then Spring...then Rainy..then the One unknown day of Summer, and then Fall again.

In reference to the above, we should also proclaim a new Annual Holiday..it shall be called Summer Day. Now, no-one will know for sure when this day will occur, but...if it's a nice day..then all towns, cities, villages and outposts should close down for that day!

So, that's my take on Summer. Please note, this is not a Rant. Just a commentary on the current situation.
Love to all of you.

Public Apology

My Sincerest Apologies to my husband...who I vilified (not sure what that word means..but it seems to fit here) in my previous blog.
Having had conversations with someone who actually has experience with Dentures..I have learned that it takes time to learn how to use them.....
Apparently, to those of us who have, and always have had...teeth...it's just natural to chew food, candy, popcorn, anything we want...causing cavities...and plaque and gingivitis...but I digress
This is a picture of Jim with his old plate which was just the top one...and which he always took out to eat.....especially after Mikki's dog chewed it up.....but I digress again.
Anyhoo.....Jim did quite well today..he had some potato chips, and was quite pleased with the crunching sound...which he had not heard for a while (chips don't crunch when they are just gummed).
And now this evening...he tried and succeeded in eating Kraft Dinner without removing his teeth...He is learning how to keep the bottom ones from popping up.
So..to get back to my original theme........I publicly and humbly apologize to my Husband...who doesn't even know he needs to be apoligized to (I'd tell him, but that would be just silly, wouldn't it?).
Other than that...nothing new happening....Jim is staying steady at a rock solid 167 pounds...woohoo!
Oh..and, on another note, I am weaning myself off the anti-drepressants....yes....with the Dr's approval!
So...a month from now we should know for sure if I am sane or not....mwa hahahahahahahahahahahah....cough, cough, cough.
Later Guys
If anyone is out there!!!!!!!!!

Blogging again

I have decided that I want to blog again..so I am starting with a darling picture of my two little grandsons...who, if they see this pic...will be much embarrassed..Hahahahaha
This is Eric and Jamie before they grew up to be people.
I have several thousand rants to do..however, I will save them for later...
Suffice it to say.........be prepared!
Well, now, that I decided not to do a rant...I actually have nothing of interest to say.
Except that Jim got his freaking teeth today and he's not supposed to take them out...but he can't eat with them..so he took them out. How the Heck is he going to learn how to eat with them if he takes them out! Huh! That's what I want to know. And When I softly pointed that out to him he went into a fit...He said..Well it's only the first day..And I said..I don't care if it's the first day or the first minute....how are you going to learn??????????
Yikes..my fingers are hurting. could this be a sublimal rant? I don't know. He spent over $2000 on those freaking teeth and he better use them.......is my point.
Now, I'm going to leave...to Facebook all you guys to read my blog..and I want some comments.
Well, I would like some comments.
Later....Marsh
