Rainy Day In AL

Rainy Day In AL

November 30, 2010

greatgrannybee2008 Uncategorized AL, rain Leave a comment [Edit]

It’ s  47 degrees down here now and a cold rain. I’ve not heard a weather

report today from the guessers. We only got rain last night and a noisy

weather radio. I just left it on all night so my sleep would not be inter-

rupted. The threat of Tornadoes seemed to be past. I’m so happy that

the closet was unneeded for me and Kassey. I have not re-loaded the

closet yet, waiting for further weather news. There’s not that much out

anyhow. Maybe, I’ll just stuff it somewhere else, maybe like the dump.

That’s about it, I guess, except, Rambling, if you see this, Your new blog

doesn’t exists……LOL.

Blustery, Cold, Cloudy 57degrees,etc. So

I made the trek to the dump and the mailbox for Saturday's mail.
As I sit by the window watching the goings and comings, I see the
mail person has arrived again. So back out in the cold, blustery air
for me or maybe not. What's another day to wait for junk mail. Al-
though I'll  probably have my usual Sears bill. And I'm planning not
using it for Christmas unless I have to order online. I did have to buy
online for my new webcam, even though Walmart had them in the
store, about $20 more. How crazy is that and they won't let you
have the online price in the store.

Have y'all noticed how they try to help you with your labels? I'm glad
I was paying attention this time. As I was adding my labels for Cold,
up popped 'COLD TOESES' from a Kassey blog. It did manage to
be in the label box , but I removed it. To those unfamiliar, it would
have looked odd to add a label unrelated to this blog. So if you see a
label out of place, ain't my fault, (South) just an oversight.

I haven't made it to the kitchen yet, except to get some chocolate
covered peanuts. I do have to put on some chicken breasts, maybe
soup is in order today. Gotta get cracking and do some work in the
kitchen and I bet my girl will arise from her nap.
Stay warm or cool wherever you are. You all are such a treasure.
Kassey and I thank you all for being in our blog family.

Nice Internet Sunday

My stick cut out at first this AM after connecting.
It turned white where it's normally green., I guess so
I'd leave it alone for the moment. Well they
must have been tweeking it as it turned back to it's
green color. I am so happy that it's back to itself
now, hopefully.
I just noticed it looks like I said the stick turned white.
When I click on the icon, the small page pops up where
your instructions are with Files,Tools,Help. In the middle
it says to connect or disconnect. Anyhow, I hope it con-
tinues to behave.

Intermitant Internet....Grrrr

For some reason my webconnect stick has been disconnecting for the last few days.
I was patient long enough, so I called today. The first Tech I talked to hung up, I
think, got the 'nobody on the line beep, beep' lol  Well, I was glad really as I couldn't
keep up with him . He talked too fast and my being from the South makes a difference.lol
Oh I know some of us talk too slow, but you know what we've said.
Ok , I called back and Shaun answered. He was feeling good and he said, 'You're rocking
with Shaun and who am I rocking with?' I told him my name and problem and he got another
Tech on  the line.
Now Leonard was helpful and wasn't in a hurry to get rid of me. He also told me his brother
was coming home Dec.7 from South Korea and he was going to surprize their Mother as he
was not expected until around Christmas, forgot the day.
Well, it seemed that the Stick was behaving and lo and behold, it started cutting out again.
I won't be calling back tonight unless I'm bug eyed and can't sleep. It'll soon be time for my
Brit Coms that I enjoy so much. And the scanner is on so I've got plenty of entertainment.

I'm Thankful On This Thursday......Kassey

I'm a blessed kitty and so thankful Mom adopted me. I also am thankful
that she decided not to go to TN Son's today. She did say that she might
go to Walmart. That's OK cuz I know she will be back soon.
I'm so thankful to have a soft bed to sleep on cuz so many kitties don't.

Happy Thanksgiving Effuryone, Kassey

Lonely Me .........Kassey

I came in to her office as she was on the puter. I was meowing
and just wanting company for a snack. And then she told me that
she might be going to TN Son's for Thanksgiving and she asked me
if it was OK. Well at the moment, I didn't care to have this conver-
sation as I needed a snack before my nap. As any cat, I do not care
to be left alone overnight..This means I'll have to eat alone and  I'll
sure miss her if she goes. She will leave the blinds up so I can watch
people outside. Our neighbor is expecting her family for Thanksgiving.
I'll be so lonely and I hope they wave to me as I speak to them. Mom
says they're all dog people, but that shouldn't matter. It's not like they'll
be unfaithful while they speak or wave to a lonely kitty.
'God willing 'as Mom says, if she goes to TN Son's, I 'll  post an update
with some photos if she uses her flashy box.

She Did It Again........Kassey

Mom went to Andy’s again and she saw 3 new puppies. Now I might

have liked seeing those babies. So maybe he will bring one by some-

time like he did his new baby kitten. Of course, I wasn’t impressed.

I’m a loner and I rule here. However, I do enjoy company for awhile.

I checked her clothes when she got home and there it was , the doggie

smell. Now this is getting to be a habit. But she tells me ‘I’m still yours.’

We’ll try to get some photos  here  of yours  truly rubbing my smell on

her clothes. Unable to post another one......Kassey

Dead Battery Again, Pesty Neighbor Rant

I had a map light on that I never use. This button is next
to the sun roof button and as I seldom go, I don't know
when I did this or how long it takes to drain a battery.
This was Nov. 14 and I needed to go to Kmart to pay
my Sears Bill. It's convenient and I dislike depending on
the mail. I called Andy and he offered to come and jump
it off.
First our cars weren't placed right for battery hookup
Andy then unhooked his battery to make it more accesi-
able. This Honda screamed so we finally gave up as it
continued after I pressed the panic button. Andy took me
to Kmart as the payment has to be posted by 5:00 PM
on the due date.

Pesty neighbor started calling and leaving voicemails adding
to the 24 I already have. This was when Andy was here.
After we got back, I called the tow service and of course,
he was an old geezer like me...lol  It took him a lot longer
but finally the car shut up.

Now for the pesty neighbor, y'all know who. I have been
avoiding her as she is the over-bearing type. I find it best
not to talk to her and explain anything. Therefore, I do not
answer her calls, been there done that.

While the wrecker man was here, she kept interfering, ask-
ing me if I needed help.( her car was here 'til Monday). I
kept telling her, 'NO, I don't need any help. She insisted
like it was the first time she asked. I told her to leave me
alone. She kept telling me to please call her.  And after the
car was cranked, I went to the house to lock up before going
to Walmart, she continued. I told her, I was going to Walmart.
She said, 'Come in and we'll go later'. I said emphatically,'NO,
I'm going now. And on the way, she started the calling and VM
again. The last time I talked to her on the phone, she told me that
she didn't want me to feel responsible for her. I told her 'I don't'.
This was reverse psychology that failed for her.
I guess I've complained enough and I hope she got the message
loud and clear.

Looks Stormy, Quite Breezy, etc.

I've been watching the dark clouds move around and
they look unfriendly. It has rained some, but just
our usual little bit.. Low and behold those dark clouds
turned loose and it's raining again as I type.

My petunias sure can use it and I'm surprised  they are
still alive. The little succulent  is still green and
and I still  haven't a clue what it is. I'd like to get an Aloe Vera
plant for inside, but I don't know if it would be safe for
Kassey. Maybe someone can tell me
.
I'm wondering who'll leave DWTS tonight and I sure hope
the weather behaves so I can watch it.
Kassey has been good today until now. I do need to get off
and warm up some pintos. She maybe hungry too and requires my
company.

A Ray Of Sunshine Of Hope For Andy

We do have sunshine here and a nice temp of 64 at the present.
Many of you from Spaces know about my son, Andy's  Chiari
Syndrome and the awful migraines that he has.
Recently, he started going back to his Doctor in Birmingham, AL, who
discovered his condition. He told Andy there was a new procedure
being done in PA to stop the pain by disabling the nerve that causes
the pain. As he has suffered so, this gives him hope and his family
too. However, we know this is very tedious and risky. He has had
a part of his scull removed above the cervical spine. This was done
to cut some cervical bones to give more room for the 'tonsil', pro-
truding from his brain into the spinal column. This procedure did not
stop the headaches.
As I receive updates as to whether Andy has this procedure, I will
post it here, God-willing.

Blessings Always, Ann

Thankful Thursday.....Kassey

               I'm thankful cuz I'm still The Cat' around here and Mom has been showing me a lot of extra love.
               Mom's one and only.....Kassey
              

Mom Was Unfaithful Today.....Kassey

Mom left me alone early this morning as she went to Andy's. 

Andy's car is sick so Mom had to take them to Florence to

Sheila's back Doctor. She finally got home this afternoon

and I did not meet her at the door . She came to my bed-

room where I was enjoying my sun puddle. Well, after I 

smelled dog and cat on her, I was not happy. I think she

has been giving my affection to Andy and Sheila's pets.

How can she do this? She has some nerve. She loved on

me some and then said she had to go heat some food.

Well, I followed here meowing.. I wasn't hungry. I just

needed some more loving.

I am in the bedroom with her as she relates how I'm feeling.

Yesterday she put her toy back in the bedroom and I'm on 

the bed and I'm depressed even as she pawses to talk to me.

She keeps asking if I'm gonna sleep with her tonight. Well, 

maybe.

Blessings to all my furry friends especially the ones who 

aren't  feeling well. xxxxx Kassey

 

Rant Friday, Got It Figured Out

Friday November 5, 2010


How can we ever know when someone is a real friend?

When someone wants to be my friend, they turn out to

be opportunists. Sadly I discovered recently a new friend

seems to be just that. When she turns in her car after her

lease is up, she can't buy it as she says her income isn't

enough. Now she has been paying a huge lease payment

every month without missing a payment. I'm sure she knew

this when we became 'friends'. Her daughter even asked her

why 'don't y'all move in together'. Well, of course, this would

be very convenient as it would lift any burden from their re-

sponsibilities as children. We are neighbors which makes it

real convenient for her to use me. What really irritates is that

she never calls me by name . She calls me these pet names,

names that I would call my pet. OH I know we're not even

supposed to call our pets anything besides their name.

Well, I think it's a conning thing, trying to prove affection for

a 'friend', when it's not real.I've always had red flags up

looking at possible takers.

This feels so good to vent and I've got to shake

her loose. Oh another thing, her table manners are appalling.

Recently, we went out to eat and shared a bowl of hushpuppies
served with catfish and fries and slaw.

And she had the nerve to start touching them as if they were hers,
not even putting them on her plate.

This is very rude and I would never do this. It's just bad manners.
These are only a few examples of why I am bowing out.

Needless to say, I'm fed up...period...
