cindy- I have a vision of you wrapped in bubble wrap to help protect you- our a human size hamster ball so you could roll around - course you would end up floating in the pond .... I pulled a cindy yesterday but managed not to do much to myself- just a good size bruise on my leg, fell down 4 steps on the stairway... trip over my own two feet I guess- wasn't anything in the way....
we didn't have hardly any trick or treaters last night- warmest Halloween in yrs and no kids- guess they all had parties to go too...know church behind us did one...oh well lots of candy left over for us I guess.... our boys went out in their other Nana's neighborhood.
.. I hope my pics came out of them - will try and get them uploaded in a while--- need to get Mom in shower now- she will tell me it's to cold though....LOL!

I think Cindy would manage to hurt herself on bubble wrap somehow. I remember the vacuum eating your hair, too, Cindy. More than once I think. And something about mixer beaters? Or was that me?

I think Cindy's skill is more as a story teller. She manages to tell her stories in such a way as to entertain. When I had long hair, I managed to get it tangled up in all kinds of things. Gas hedge shears come to mind. And my electric mixer. That was a hairy cake.

while there are other foods with more potassium in them, I find eating a banana is the easiest way to keep one's potassium levels up.

I don't like bananas simply because fish don't like the potassium.I don't catch any fish whenever I take bananas along,so I don't eat them because they can ruin a fishing trip.

Well you know great minds tend to think the same--- LOL! that is weird we would have the same thought ......
I once caught my fingers in a mixer ... don't know how I did it and didn't break anything... but boy it hurt! sure am careful now thats for sure....
Way back when I had long hair, in the olden times as my grands like to call it... I got my hair caught in a door hinge--- had to cut it to get it out- was reaching over door to dust the ledge and the door moved ,hair was in wrong place at wrong time- was glad I wasn't alone in house would have gotten really tired standing on the stepstool .... couldn't sit or it would have pulled it out by roots.... was not a fun experience....

I didn't hide my mishaps. I just didn't post them all here. I didn't think to. And I haven't had long hair for the last 6 years before I joined up.
I laughed when they happened though (after the painful parts stopped hurting). What else can you do?
Any machine that does something has an air intake. Those intakes love long, loose, flowing hair. And boy! does that stuff stink when it starts burning.
I haven't fallen in a long time though, in a pond or any where else. I am so afraid of falling and breaking something (that is my age showing) that I am super careful.
I have just been informed that I need to go to the bank. (sigh)

It's beenraining all day.We probably got an inch or so.

isn't that a good thing?/ I thought you were short on rain, am I wrong???

Rain in California is almost always a good thing. Unless we get too much all at once. And especially now we have been in drought conditions for a while. It is supposed to maybe travel down this way. I hope it does. We had sprinkles here and there and clouds and the air is heavy. But nothing measurable yet. I am ready for it if it comes.

Flash flood warning up here in those areas that were burned by wildfires.

Yes, The burned areas can be difficult. We have had thunder, no rain to speak of. In California, even a little rain is big major news on the TV stations. It is a bit funny.
But mud slides are not funny at all. I hope you are in a safe area, Enrique.

I live in the San Joaquin Valley,the only thing that can happen here is local flooding from clogged storm drains and small creeks coming out of their banks.The mountains are an hour's drive.

Good, I am glad you are in a safe area.
I live on the side of a hill. But it hasn't burned lately. After the last big burn we started sandbagging within a week of the fire. That saved our house from a major disaster on Christmas day. A few people nearby lost their lives. And we were helping other neighbors shovel mud out of their homes for weeks.
Even the FEMA people and other disaster officials were surprised our house was still here after that rain. They came along after the fires to check out danger areas and told everyone what to do to protect their homes. They came and looked at the large gully/canyon behind our house and all went like this: .
They couldn't figure out a way to save our house. But we could figure out a way and did. They were amazed we were still standing, completely dry.

Guess what?Today I entered the digital age!I hooked up the conveter box and antenna and now I'm watching news and weather reports on digital television!

I must not be digital age. I'm not exactly sure what it is. I'm pretty sure our TVs are not digital though.

I've got real rain! Cool! Finally!

congratulation on the rain, Tina!!!

and my TV's are very old--BUt they are all hooked up to cable TV so we are safe--or so they say. they have finally beguin to say our picture may not be as big as the screen though---I wonder if this is true or if they are trying to scsre us into getting new TV;s???

Night Night, ladies and gentleman---I am one tired puppy, so I am off to sleepy time land.

Sweet dreams to you all.

Good night.I must be getting to bed as well.

That's because I was out in the yard doing my Southern California Real Rain Dance.

Heading to bed, night all.

Ohhhhhhhhhh man I'm here all alone and someone is invisible, watching ,,,, noone else is here



I've gotta go get some of my friends

~~~~~~~~


I'm baaaaack and Brought my Friends with me,,

see how that works??

you are gone and now I am here---Dante' decided that it would be a good time to go outside to potty just now--I bet I am done sleeping for the night---geesh---

well I am going to try to go back to sleep once more.

Wish me luck, and I'll see you all again later today sometime.

morning all

good morning

Just dropping by before I go get ready for church

anybody home???

good morning everyone!I've got lots to do today.I'm cleaning my room again and I have homework to do.

It stopped raining this morning.It's still too muddy to me to enter my garden.

I bet the rain was very much welcomed though?!?! We could use some here.

thatis ok--the rain is more important than any garden work there is to do.

rain is better than watering any day of the week. not to mention easier on the back and cheaper too.

I don't have to water my gartden for a week or two!THat saves a lot of work for me!

hoping for some rain here since I riped the hose from the pvc! now the water is shut off at the valve. did that little trick while hubby was taking a nap. he's up now. think I should tell him of his new 'honey do'???

I think I would give him something to eat first.

Good idea!!

Good Morning everyone!!

Cricket--How did that "Honey Do" thing go last night??

Morning,
Just finished figuring our bills and stripped beds for laundry-- Mom's had breakfast too- she is sleeping later now that it is darker later in the mornings... Joe did the kid school runs and now is outside with Nicoli-- checking out the yard....
Going to make a batch of pancakes too soon... ran out in the freezer... not a good thing....
Well off to start another load.... take the wet ones to hang out-- love the smell of sheets off the line...
Nana

I haven't told him yet!
and he's working late tonight, so I won't hit him with it tonight either. he won't have time to do till the weekend anyway so no big hurry. last I heard we are suppose to get some rain tomorrow.
I had a really long day. I'm ready to get a shower, take a nap, then go to bed!

yep--it is hard to ask for Honey Do favors when a guy has workrd hard all day and comes home tired---I too wait until the weekend to ask Rod for "favors".

We good people, Carol!
