Evening geez
Apparently we had bad storms just down the road from me. Hail etc. I got some rain but no wind or hail. I'm a happy camper!

Hoo-eee! Thunderstorms, driving rain, a small tornado and a lot of hail in these parts the past few days. NOTHING in comparison to Moore, OK, but some real excitement nonetheless.

Afternoon Tru
Nothing about horses is cheap!! Their clothes, shoes, haircuts etc. all cost more than mine do lol
But until I just can't throw my leg over their back and maybe even when I can't ride at all I'll still want to be around them. They're great company :-)
Just made banana bread. Yummy. Have to wait til it cools though. Darn.
M6 the Time Warner thing was installed easily. It was the phone calls to Time Warner and EArthlink that weren't so much fun. Now I still need to cancel my Vonage account <sigh>

Janrey: $250 for a blanket? l don't pay near that for my own. LOL
Animals and caring for them are really expensive and beyond my income. $50 to cut a dog's hair. Cut mine is $15. l cut my own. But....
Today l have spur of the moment, decided to go for a home permanent again after many years of straight hair .
M6: There are so many positives in my life at this point in aging that l can and do overlook the few negatives and aches. l just wish l could walk.
Without pain.
Baked snickerdoodles yesterday and doggie treats and enjoyed sharing them.l have a promise of batter fried cod today for dinner from an apprecieative neighbor. l will make him a lovely beet, asparagus, egg, romaine salad. He keeps trying to catch up. NO way. l love sharing food.
Still insist my son take all leftovers and items from freezer when he visits and he is excellent cook.

Morning BB and Claudie
BB I really might try it for my horse laundry, blue jeans etc. I wash a lot of things that are pretty durable!
I have one last winter horse blanket to wash and water proof. Then need to check everything over and either make what repairs I can myself or take it over to a tent and awning place for them to make the repairs. For larger ones (which I know some of the other horse blankets need) it's worthwhile to let them do it. They do a great job and rarely charge more than $15. These blankets are expensive!!! My last new one for Bandi was around $250 or so and that was 3 years ago.
Claudie I'll bet you won't miss having to be on a schedule every day!
Headed out shortly to ride Bandi this morning. Keep hoping to get back on Monty but where he is is really affected by the rain and we had more yesterday.

Good morning, jan,
Hubby and I got back from the nursery with the mulch, and started right in spreading it in the 2 front beds; got 2 scoops of black mulch, which filled up hubby's red pick-up truck. Got the 2 front beds done, but were taking frequent breaks b/c the humidity was really bad. Plus we were directly in the sun. :( Looks like we're going to need another scoop of the stuff (from the nursery), but that'll be for a different day (maybe early next week). Work, work, work! Who says retired people don't do anything anyway? :)
And then.....hubby and I went out on the balcony (off the master bedroom) and we found that the bats have moved back in! They were in an opening on the side of the garage (last summer) until Son and his friend got out there and redid the garage. Didn't see them for the rest of the summer; now we see they're in the opening on this side of the house.
Hubby and I went to Emma's pre-k 'graduation' last night. It was cute. I should have some pix to share soon. I didn't really take any b/c the lighting in the auditorium was not good at all. However, Daughter took pix and so did a friend of mine.....she is a photographer and she was there to take pix of her granddaughter, so she volunteered to take pix of Emma, too. :) She's got her pix up on FB, but I haven't had a chance to go through them yet. Hoping to later. Then I'll get some albums up (here, I hope, and on FB).
I have an appointment with the eye doctor this morning; I'm thinking he wants to take care of a new lens (in my glasses) for my right eye. We'll see.
Today is Emma's last day of school, so this'll be the last day we have to go get her in the afternoons. I don't think I'll miss that part. Seeing her? Yes, but not the part about going out in the afternoons.
Have a great day!

Good evening, all. I seem to have gotten way too busy lately, sorry.
Jan, the soap grates very nicely, and stirs upi fine. The instructions say to stir again and add more water the next day, but I didn't get a chance so it sat for another day. By then it was very gloppy - I'd be interested to know if it does that by the first day or not. And I'll go into the final pouring out later. It does smell fine, and we sure have a lot of it! Haven't added up all the costs, but it is a lot cheaper than store-bought.

Afternoon M6, geez and Claudie
Got an email from GB telling me they'd restore my consecutive days. They said they will do it a total of 2 times if you notify them immediately. I only notified because I knew I had posted my gas prices on the phone but anyway I'm good with it either way but having them back is nice :-)
Went to look at more horses today and back again on Friday. I need to spend time riding my own horses and not looking but I really want my friend and barn mate to get another horse. We just won't be the same until that happens and I bring Monty home.
M6 my Time Warner ordeal is tomorrow but I told hubby he needs to be here because if the tech asks me any questions about how things are hooked up to the computer he won't get any answers from me lol
Claudie raining a bit here now. And it was hot, muggy and buggy this morning but more rain means Monty can't be ridden where he currently is.....the arena gets too slick :/

Afternoon jan, geez, tru and Claudie. I tried posting here yesterday, but somehow got kicked off. The city says the water problem is now fixed; I hope they remember to make a meter adjustment as the hose ran full blast for 96 hours. If I get a $200+ water bill, I'll know they forgot.
jan, TWC came yesterday and said there's a problem with the emergency frequency here and they're working on it. They've had the system for over a year now and it isn't fixed yet, so I'm not holding my breath. How'd you come out?
geez, Mrs. Geezer will find a way to spend that $500 you're savng.
tru, you've gotta ignore the negatives and be thankful there's some positives.
Claudie, we pulled up the landscaping timbers and put down landscaping brick this morning. Lots of work.

Thanks Janrey: You understand what l am talking about. l myself have few problems here. Inconveniences YES>While true that new manager is a control freak and interested in power, l avoid those problems, but work with and list the ongoing problems others have here. We have some tenants who have been used to breaking rules and continue to do so, which causes difficulties they never had with previous manager.
lt was a beautiful day and weekend actually weatherwise and l certainly took full advantage of that. Didn't stay long in the pool as l have problems with legs that seem to be exacerbated by pool visits. There must be an underlying problem that l haven't discovered as yet, but continue to work on that solution. Same extra pain this time last year which fades during fall and winter. Hired my housekeeper last June as l was having such pain issues. Saw a vascular dr who couldn't find cause. I am 82 and do have joint problems year round, but this additional pain seems seasonal. Weird huh?
Anyway l am still enjoying life and what l have and can do. Smile. Other things are trivial to overall enjoyment. And certainly trivial compared to many others who are really ill. So l appreciate that.
Have a good day and enjoy the things you have ...not necessarily monetary or possessions. Know what l mean? Loved ones, health, time, beautiful surroundings. Oh you know.

Tru it sounds like the perks outweigh the bad management so as you say enjoy the things you like and smile :-)
Claudie I posted gas prices only from my iphone. It always tells me that it has done it but I guess it didn't work on Saturday. As I said, ages ago it would have bothered me for some stupid reason but it's no big deal nowadays :-)
Book club today. Made a Paula Dean recipe that had been tweaked by a friend, curried fruit. Of course it starts off with a stick of butter!!

Good morning, jan,
Boy, it sure is foggy outside! Hope the fog lifts before I go out this morning.
Sorry you lost your consecutive days. Hmmmm, I thought, though, that if you posted something (gas prices or in the threads) or 'read' the articles you still got points. I wonder if they changed it.
I'm taking Mom to the doctor for bloodwork this morning and then to WM afterwards. I would have taken her yesterday, but they're going out to lunch tomorrow at 11 (to a place called Shane's Rib Shack), and I wasn't sure I could get her back in time. So we're going today instead. :)
Have a great day!

Sorry, that was M6 that asked about HUD. l went to the pool again today and it was fine. Too windy tho so l got out quickly. lt is so much nicer than the crowded space at the public pool l used to go to and included in the rent, as is my electricity and gas. l have gas heat and that bill can get high, so it is a relief not to wonder from month to month what it might be..
l also like the location of this cottage as to grocery stores. So l will ignore the manager for the most part. It is sad how many seniors are frightened of moving tho. l moved every 4 years since retirement and didn't mind at all til the last one. (Forced to move to get away from a bully neighbor) But l did get an improved location at the end of the row and more sunlight for veggies. Level back yard too.
l am very happy here and not planning to move anymore.
Today was expecially lovely except a brief noisy car "repair" in the back.
l have been in and out all day. Enjoying. Smile.

Morning jan, geez, Claudie, BB and tru. I think I had 1 number in the drawing last night, but it wasn't even the PB.
jan, GB can't split states as far as time zones go, so all of KY is on Eastern time. At least once, I've had to go to a left coast site and post prices to use their time zone.
TWC will be here tomorrow to change out the cable box. Every time an emergency message is supposed to display, all I get is a frozen picture and crappy music.

Good morning Claudie, tru, M6, BB, Ras and geez
Claudie I was busy enough that I didn't post anything and lost my consecutive days. Oh well. I do think I heard though that they will let you go one day but no idea if that's true.
Tru I'm glad you won the skirmish. They just sound like very uncaring managers and that's awful for seniors :/
BB I think I will give it a go, so I'll PM you for tips unless you want to post them here.
M6 I haven't even checked my numbers yet but I'm pretty sure they're losers too :-( and here it's cash only for lottery tickets!!
Geez I knock drinks off the bedside table all the time reaching for them but I've learned to put them in screw top water bottles. The cats help me also that even better reason to keep a top on my water.
Ras gas is still holding steady here for now.....$3.17 yesterday.

Re my last post: Won a battle and lost the war...l was "invited" to move if l didn't like the improvements here. District manager said she would speak to the manager so l could move without "penalty" Pretty nice of her, but l ain't budging and will continue to speak my mind. l have done nothing to be evicted for unless they write me up for hanging the shade in front. l have moved 4 times in my retirement to improve my living conditions rather than argue, but l have located this place which will be the best of the offerings only in one way....location. When l am no longer able to drive l will be close to senior center for their transport and closes to stores so l can take my scooter. So l am staying and they can't force me out. l responded to her invitation by saying my discontent was only two things here the lack of availability of the money machine when the office is frequently closed and l can't do laundry then, and the pool termperature, which they raised to 80 now because of our complaints. The rest of the issues were other people that l spoke for. As far as l am concerned the manager can be as snotty as she wishes, l just avoid her. (l think she is realizing her attitude has to change, as she spoke to me and SMILED!!) But other people talk to me about her and her issuing the edicts which some are out of line and l think she will back off on... or she will be replaced. She was on a power trip and it will end or people will keep complaining til something is done.
I finally got all 4 chicken cut up and l don't think l will do that again. The bleaching and hand washing and the feel of the membrane or whatever on my hands is disgusting. My freezer is so full from all the shopping lately that l absolutely MUST STOP. Smile.

I waterboarded myself last night. I keep a glass of water on the nightstand and take a sip from time to time over the sleep hours. Last night was the same a all the others in that regard, but apparently when I took a drink I fell back to sleep with the glass in my hand and at some undertermined interval later...poured it on my own face! Over my shoulder and down my back it went. I didn't know I could still move that fast.
I took the sheet off (our bed is one of those fancy reclining memory foam jobs, so it's basically two twin beds lashed together) and finished the night in the guest bedroom. Mrs. Geezer was very concerned this morning. She thought I was incontinent.
Maybe I should use a smaller glass from now on...

Good morning, jan,
Ready for the Powerball, I see. :) Good luck!
It started raining lightly, but steadily around midnight and has continued ever since. Looks like it'll keep on being a rainy day; if not that, at least cloudy.
Since it's raining, I'm guessing Jake's last soccer game will be cancelled; I wasn't going anyway since it was a 9 AM game.
No special plans for today; just staying home and doing 'things.' Thank goodness I can say it's not going to mess up my plans for today! :)
Have a great day!

Well, the soap is decanted into a whole batch of different bottles, and I've done a bit of hand laundry, but no proper loads so far. If anyone does decide to try making it, I have a few tips to offer from my experiences so far - and I do think it's worth doing, too.

Howdy, Ras. You're here twice in the same week? The price spike is total BS, but the oil companies always have an excuse, even if it is half ass. I would say that the government needs to get involved, but every time they do, things get more f'd up than they were to start with.
Did Chloe see me wave back at her?

Hi jan, m6, bb, claudie, geezer and everyone else!
Just stopping in to say "hi!" before taking Miss Chloe to the vet for her monthly allergy shot/flea treatment...oh, and she needs a bottle of vitamins.
We should probably walk to the vet since gas prices have jumped to $3.82. I cringe sitting here watching them change the price board across the street. Really puts a damper on going anywhere.
I'll be back.
Chloe says "hi" too. <waving paw>

Afternoon jan, geez, Clauie, BB, tru, wacki and 330. Yesterday the city was working on one of the fire hydrants and clipped a water line with the backhoe. The water pressure was low and the water was dirty, so we called the water department and were told they "had run
into some difficulties". After they "fixed" it, we ran the water long enough that the water was clear, but there was still an odor. I got a drink this morning, and my lips started burning. I called them back and went to the store to buy a case of water. They came by about an hour ago and told me to let the outside faucet run all weekend and they took a water sample with them. After it runs for a few hours, I'll turn on everything in the house and let the lies get good and clear. Can't do much with the ice maker except let it run through a few cycles. Glad I kept some old ice trays!
Looks like another wet weekend. I think this makes 4 in a row.

Good morning, jan,
I'm glad you like looking at the pix of Mom (on FB). I put them on there esp. for my sister, who thinks that Mom does nothing but sit in her room and watch TV all day. Showing her that Mom DOES get outta that room and not just for meals!
Hubby's got an appointment to see the urologist this morning. We'll see what he has to say (the urologist, not hubby). Depending on how long the appointment takes, we might go to one of the country cooking places for lunch. We have to watch the time b/c hubby has to pick up Emma from school at about 2:30. We'll see how things go.
Have a great day!

Ihate cutting up chicken too but at savings of couple of dollars a pound on breast meat l will do it once in awhile. My kitchen is so small it makes it even more difficult.
But won one on the manager. She has been saying that the sun heats the swim pool and l knew there was a thermometer in the "private" room. So don't tell me that as l am dumb, but not stupid. So l emailed the district manager who admitted it by answering the owner "has allowed the setting of the pool temperature to be raised to 80 degrees starting tomorrow." l had said that the day the Pool man comes the temperature is 84 and the next day it dropped 15 degrees.

Afternoon Geez, Claudie, BB, 330, wacki and tru
Tru even though I have a good bit of time I hate cutting up chickens!! I buy whole ones occasionally and cut them up but pretty much hate it. Guess I have to save my money on other things lol
Geez of course the weatherforecast was wrong. You believed it and committed to an outdoor activity ;-)
Claudie I love seeing the pics of your mom at the assisted living facility. I made sure my mom was at the beauty parlor every 2 weeks. Of course she'd tell them it was only necessary every 4 weeks but time was one of the things she had trouble with so we just kept it scheduled and kept her looking great :-)
BB that's ok. I'm just curious. Doing Bandi's winter wear right now. Washing and waterproofing so use special detergent and waterproofers anyway.
Wacki I've retired and unretired so many times I've lost track ;-)
330 that's a lot of restaurants! Better have a lot of great dancers too!

Hey Janrey:
My agenda for today is strawberry slicing, l have already destemmed them, but sat down as my legs still hurt from the exercising in the pool the other day. l have decided that caused all the pain l had last year that sent me to a vasular surgeon, who couldn't help me. l stopped going to the pool in the fall and most of the pains left. So l finally get it. Stop exercising the legs.
l also have 4 whole chicken to cut up and freeze and don't want any more halves, so more cuts to get to package all the thighs, then all the breasts etc. Lot of work but for .79c a pound....smile. If l were working l would not have the time to do these money saving things.

@#$!*&!! weatherguessers strike again.
Yesterday's forecast: Sunny in the A.M with clouds coming in after noon. Rain in the evening. high in the low 60's.
Yesterday's on the golf course, late morning to mid afternoon: Cloudy and breezy until shortly after noon when the winds picked up and the rain started. Higher winds and heavier rains ensued. High in the mid 50's.

Hi Janrey,
I was in LaRose, IL the other day. There are 622 1/2 restaurants in LaRose but beware, you can only eat there if you can dance like Fred Astaire.

Good morning, jan,
Not much going on for me this morning. I have a chiro appointment at 9:30, but don't have to go to the store afterwards. :) I DO have to go to Mom's, though, so I thought I'd check in on the cousin's parents while I'm there. That's about it, though. :)
Have a great day!

Soap, soap, soap, soap, soap, soap, soap, soap....I thought I'd sing about eight bars.

No report on the soap yet - sorry! We ended up going out tonight and got back too late for me to feel like transferring the bucketful of stuff. Tomorrow! We have been using a bar of it for handsoap in the kitchen for several weeks, and that's just fine. The smell is nice, and the bar is solid and sturdy.
M6, a few friends have had success gorowing those weeds, but not around our place - and that was not by us. Kinda boring, I know.

Evening Mom's, M6 and Claudie
Mom's once BB let's us know how well it works I'll get the link to FB for you :-)
M6 I bought more herbs today. Was 93 degrees here today and need to water the plants again. Either too much water or not enough.
Claudie I was up and at em early to go see Monty ridden by the woman that's training him. I hope to get back on him next week in very controlled circumstances.

Good morning, jan,
I am going to the grocery store in a little while, and that's pretty much it. Well, I DO have to get Emma this afternoon, though. Only one more week of that b/c her pre-k gets out of school next Wednesday, the 22nd.
Have a great day!
