Nothing 4 Nothing

I bet you thought only Charlie on Lost had weird dreams....well, you should had been in my head last night. I had the strangest dream. T and A were at my house and they messed with my computer, the icons were as large as the screen and they added new programs to it. I was so angry at them I told them they had to get my computer back to normal before they left. T was trying and when T change things on my computer the magnets on the refrigerator would change sizes. It didn't end there, a spider was hanging from a web in the middle of the family room, I opened a window and a bird flew into the house, when the bird tried to catch the spider he turned into a dog, now the dog is jumping up and down and the spider is to high for him to reach. I should write for the Twlight Zone or something...ha ha
I called C yesterday and had to hear C lecture to me about how I should live my life and telling me I was wasting my life away etc etc. I would if I could but I can't do what C thinks I can do. Then I heard from D via instant message and D was so down that it scared me. I haven't heard again from D and I am worried...D last sentence was "don't worry about me I won't try anything"....
I have reading websites about Islamic belief in "seven heavens" but I'm becoming more confused. I never read much about Islam before and find it very interesting...a lot of their beliefs is similar to Christian doctrines, heaven, hell, angels, the old testament, Jesus, sin, the anti-Christ, end of times, etc. I wish the followers in both religions would read about the other and note how much we all have in common instead of how far apart we are, then maybe there will be mutual understanding and we can talk, relate and live in peace..."waky malaki"..like the angels.
Happy Birthday RB...

Once again words annoy me, since when has a woman's pregnancy become a "baby bump"???
That description sounds so unkind and diminishes the sacred condition of bringing a new human life into the world. A bump is a impact with another vehicle, a bump and grind dance, a violent blow to the body, not a baby in progress!! The TV show ET Tonight has been using "baby bump" almost daily especially about the Brad and Angelina's baby to be...enough is enough already. They are having a baby and Angelina is pregnant, she is not giving birth to a bump...ok? Hope R finds the book I want at the library book sale ... I could not connect to the internet for a long time today, talk about me having a panic attack. When I call tech help I never understand what they are trying to tell me to do, it makes me so nervous and I can't afford to have someone come to the house at $50 an hour, so I try to figure things out for myself. Guess I did something right because I am here now. I have a love/hate relationship with my computer, guess we all do except for the computer nerds. My nerd moved out of the state, he was good at fixing up my mistakes and he was free. Those were the days!!!!

According to the latest buzz word on commercials, I no longer have bad credit, I have challenged credit!!! lol That makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. Like every kid on a soccer team at the end of the season receives a trophy no matter how lousy he played, to make him feel good about himself. Give me a break, what will kids learn about life from this action and tell me what do the excellent players think, no matter how good you play you are no better then the weakest link on the team? Will that make him want to do better? I think not. And, why is a loser like "P" on Dancing With the Stars keep winning? "P" doesn't even want to be there. It is just proving that in America no matter how bad you are you are a winner. That's so fouled up, we are on a downhill spiral. Why does the squeakest wheel get the attention, what happens to the grin and bear it people? Why are sport figures who brawl admired and ones who play a good game year after year following the rules are just 'also rans'? Why do people with money make more money then they can spend and the rest of us make less and work harder. Why is the grass always greener on the other side? Maybe it's astro turf? Hang in there....we will survive (I hope).

We went to see Uncle L again today and ate lunch at Burger King...had a bunch of buy 1 get 1 free coupons!! Did a little shopping at the small shops on Main Street and other stuff. There was a free newspaper in this town called "The Frickle Nickel" Some one lost a pile of branches in front of the house, of course the person who lost them didn't return to take them off the street. No that would involve courtesy and who has that anymore?
Got my photo prints online today, it is a shame my computer can only view half of them...I will keep trying. From what I got to see, seems like I took a lot of pictures of someone else's dog!!!
Dang, why do I waste film like that? Gasoline is expensive, the cheapest price I spotted today was $2.49 per gallon. My nose hurts...stop laughing...it really hurts right now. I don't know what the problem is...maybe too much of sticking my nose into other peoples business??? No...that's not it~~~lol

My "mouse" was vibrating this morning!? I never had that happen before, after a short time it stopped. Hope it is not falling apart? Do you ever read something and read the wrong word into the sentence by mistake and then wonder what the heck it is suppose to mean? I do that now and then, it always takes a couple of re-readings to get it right because I always see the wrong word instead of the right, does that make sense? And what about the radio and tv commercials that have a phone ringing. Do you ever get up to answer the phone and then realize it is not your phone that is ringing and you got up for nothing.I have done that too...and the same goes for a doorbell on tv or radio. My pooch one night was asleep in front of the tv set when the tv doorbell rang. The poor dog's entire body jumped about 3 inches off the floor, she got on her feet and sleepishly barked and walked dazed to the front door barking and growling. I had to open the door to prove to her nobody was there. Poor baby, she must had felt so foolish.
The fog was thick here until about 11AM and then the sun came out. Wish I felt like doing something useful...pero, no!

Class Autographs from a 1932 Jr. High in California

Here lies the bones of Tony Jones
Who lived on hot dogs and ice cream cones

Roses are red
Violets are blue
If I had your face
I'd go to the zoo

Dear Pal
I write like hell
But why should I yell

Bread is bread
Cheese is cheese
What is a kiss
Without a squeeze

Little star riding on a trolly car
When the car ran off the track
You wanted your ten cents back

When you get married and have a Ford
Let me sit on your running board

I love you little
I love you big
I love you like
A little pig

Love you till Goat Island has kids

I hope that cupid "Mrs" you

I thought and I thought and thought in vain
At last I thought I;d write your name

I watched "Gray's Anatomy" last night, and when that writer said he ate his novel I laughed so hard! I know the feeling...when you spend weeks even months writing something and then you re-read it, it is like who the hell wrote that junk...why did I think it was any good, I'm such a loser. It is weird that what sounds like Steinbeck to you one day sounds like a 3rd grader wrote it the next. I never like what I write and I could change words and sentences forever if I let myself do it. I also watched "24" it was excellent, when I watch "Lost" I nearly have a panic attack if anyone fights or is killed off and on "24" just how many people died in the first 15 minutes? Did I care? No! Strange how a tv show can produce your mind set.
Tonight the Golden Globes, I'm not a big award show fan but I always look forward to the Globes...but it is on at the same time as the 2nd part of "24"...oh, what to do, what to do!! lol And why was tonights "24" episode advertised as "see the conclusion of "24"...conclusion? Does that mean when the show starts for its regular season it will be different and not include what we just watched? Ok TV is making me insane...lol To many questions, to few answers. I hope Naveen Andrews wins an award tonight...I'll keep my fingers crossed.
I'm listening to "Landing in London" by 3 Doors Down, great song. Later I will pop some popcorn and curl up in front of the TV set, become a couch potato for the night.
5:36PM... A note to Yahoo News, I am NOT I repeat NOT in your time zone, I just signed on to the internet and you told me who won the top Golden Globes awards!!! We on the West coast get tape delayed versions of "live" TV broadcasts....couldn't you have waited an hour before giving the news report? Boo Boo Yahoo Boo!!!!!

"Don't you walk away from me" shouted Z.
C shook his head in silence, he left the room before Z could say anything else, he felt like smashing things around.
That is what I added to my "story" today, I feel happy and sad because I'm nearly finished with it. I won't know what to do when I'm done, so I keep putting it off.
The sun was out today and the breeze blew, a lovely day for being outdoors. But I haven't been outside, I'd probably still be in bed if R didn't call bright and early to tell me about a dog show on TV. Actually it was the Purina Dog Challenge, and I must say I found it entertaining.
Those crazy Jack Russell terriers running like manic race horses was funny, and the dogs twisting through poles was neat. How can they do that? The frisbee catch is what I like best. I gotta get a dog!!!
I've been thinking about artists, I always wanted to marry an artist, they are sensitive, aloof, mysterious...I love the smell of art, the oil paints, acrylics, varnish, canvas, charcoals and such. I can draw and paint a little but I'm not good enough to put on canvas what my mind envisions.
Therefore I want to marry an artist and sit quietly in the background and watch as layer by layer his illusion becomes a reality. It would be so cool....and if this artist of mine can also play the guitar or piano...it would be paradise! I'm taking applications....the line forms at the left. lol

PARASKAVEDEKATRIAPHOBIA * Fear of Friday the 13th*

* 13 gods met violent deaths in Nordic mythology * 13 steps to the gallows * 13 knots in a hangman's noose * 13 the symbol of death to ancient Romans * 13 loaves in a Baker's Dozen, the 13th loaf is to bribe the devil * 13 the unluckiest of days *

I hope everyone survived? The day isn't over yet, so far I lost my auto-address on my email, managed to get it back after an hour of messing around with my computer, and I twisted my ankle while walking...ouch! Local radio dj was talking about phobias, he admitted a fear of open umbrellas and always stays at least 3 feet away from them, another person was afraid of balloons, CG is afraid of clowns, grandma was afraid of snakes, me I have a list of fears, but the oddest is of the grocery store. Where do these phobias come from? Should we even admit to them? Big rain is coming this weekend...time will tell. Good Luck today!!!

More rain here.... I managed to get out today, went grocery shopping, to the bank and walked to the mailbox where someone had shattered a bottle into a million pieces. I wore open-toed shoes so I had to tippy-toe around the broken glass. I need to buy gasoline maybe I shouldn't had put off doing that since the price per gallon went up 09 cents since a week ago. What's the gas compaines excuse this time for raising prices? Just heard "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" the song is ok, but I love the title!! I feel like drinking----a milkshake---- bet you thought I was going for stronger stuff...not yet at least...lol I haven't had a milkshake in maybe 2 years, and I want a chocolate shake right now. Maybe that Carl's Jr. milkshake commercial where a guy is shaking a black and white cow has finally got to me? That commercial is at the least "odd" Back to the plural of moose could it be mise??? Mouse is mice, right? And I was thinking why do they call it "flatware" is there a "roundware"??? My mind is clutter with such questions ha ha ha No one seems to want to answer them for me. I've been watching "Country Boys" on PBS, it is very good, I love to know about other people, how they think and act, and I have come to the conclusion that people are alike no matter where in the world they live, we are at the core human beings with the same wants, hopes and feelings.

AJAX cleanser and coffee in the morning, now that will wake you up in a hurry!! Bleak!!! lol How was I suppose to know there was Ajax in the bottom of my coffee mug???? The sun was out most of the day yet I find no warmth in the sunshine, I continue to feel dreary, for no apparent reason. I have this feeling that something bad is about to happen soon, I get these feelings now and then and in the most part nothing happens, still I worry. "Trees" will be released on a CD Jan. 24th, can't wait to be hearing it on the radio. Hey, I dusted and cleaned the house, that's news! lol Where does all the dust bunnies come from? They seem to multipy over night...maybe I will name them? ha ha ha

Playing detective today trying to track down my elderly cousin AG who lives out of the area, seems in the month since I last talked to her she sold her house and changed her telephone number. Found his number on the 'net and called her nephew R who I never met but through the years heard a lot about from AG. When I called a man answered the phone, I asked "May I speak to R" he replied "he's not here right now, if you leave your number I'll have him call back" I told him I don't even know if I have the right R, do you know if he is AG's nephew...then he said yes that was him! I know, strange behavior seems to run deep in our family...lol Anyhow, AG is in a senior care apartment, he gave me the number to the complex, when I called they said "Yes AG was a resident, and no I can not talk to her" I guess it is their policy or her's, I don't know which, to give a message to the person and if they want they can call back. R said AG and his mom had a falling out about 3 months ago and haven't spoken to each other since. These women are in their 80's and known each other nearly all their lives. Sad when people get to their golden years that they still fight and bicker. I would have thought with age comes wisdom, a sort of 'turn the other cheek' attitude ...guess I am wrong again. Several hours later AG phoned me. "How did you find me?" was her first question. I told her about calling her nephew. "No, you didn't call HIM" she said."How did HE know where I was, I didn't tell anyone where I was going" I told I didn't know how he knew but he knew and he was very nice to me over the phone. "That family is a bunch of snoops" she informed me "they want to know everyone's business...his mother is a evil person, I never want to talk to her again" Then cousin A started crying and I felt helpless...but I do have her private phone number and address. It all just didn't turn out as planned.

OK, I'm depressed, some kids called me "creepy" today!!! I don't want to be "creepy"..geez!
Then they rang my doorbell and yelled some obscene words, for no reason, I don't even know the jerks. But it made me mad, upset and angry need I say more?...Odd thing happened in front of the house, a pickup truck was about to park by the curb and a dog jumped out of the passenger window a approaching car almost hit the dog. The dog's owner caught up with him got the dog back in the truck. Talked to several neighbors and found out their houses have also been egged so it wasn't only me singled out. That doesn't make it any better...but I don't feel as alone in this battle. M's surgery went well. I feel really tired right now. Listened to Sylvia Browne on radio last night...and makes me wonder about her, before the latest news came out she said she knew the "coal miners would come out" She didn't say come out alive or dead but the conversation at the time leads me to believe she thought they were alive. Maybe that is why mediums are so vague, you can take their messages either way and either way they would be right. Very tragic about the death of the miners. May they rest in peace. OK back to the moose business, a single house is called a house, 2 or more are houses, so the plural of moose has to be mooses, but you don't hear anyone ever saying mooses....

I rarely get a comment about my blog and when I do I become suspicious. The commenter suggested I read his blog.. if I click on his blog site maybe it will be a virus, maybe it is porno....maybe...."Oh ye of little faith" I finally clicked and "Park Ranger" had a very nice blog...he was a real person!! "Park Ranger" I shouldn't have doubted you....sorry!!
Yet another ugly gray day here, cold and rainy. So far the rivers have not flooded on to any property. It would be nice to live by rivers, but it always carries flood worries. My friend M wants to be known as Blue, I don't know why but I need to remember that. MV had knee replacement surgery today, hope all went well. I'm still feeling out of it, whatever "it" may be. Wish I could take a deep calming breath and not worry about what the year will bring, no one can predict the future...well maybe not no one, except Sylvia Browne. Wonder what it feel like to be her? I'd be richer, I'd play the lottery and the stock market, bet on the ponies...lol I would donate not to charities but directly to the person who needed help. I often wonder why major celebrities, be it actors or sports figures keep most of their money? Greed? I often wonder what more than one moose is called? Mooses? One mouse is a mouse plural is Mice... so what are 2 or more mooses?????

I don't think the 2nd day of the new year can get anymore boring and depressing. It is so bleak outside, gray skies, fog, rain, cold, nothing on tv but football and reruns and I sit here feeling alone and not wanting to get up and do anything about it! Motivation is what I need, so where can I score some? The street in front of our house is flooded to the white line in the middle of the road. News reports say 2 rivers in our town are about to go over their banks. I doubt it will affect our area, still will keep my fingers crossed. Keep hearing sirens police, fire, ambulance...A & D are still on the road, driving back from Ashland, Oregon, usually it is a 11 hour drive, don't know how long it will take them this time with floods and detours along the way. I hate the hot summer weather when it is over 100 degrees but right now I don't know which is worst the heat or the grayness of winter.
