WITH BECKY HERE LAST NIGHT I WENT TO A GATHERING OF THE VOLUNTEERS PULLED TOGETHER BY SHELIA - FIRST TIME OPOUT TO A PARTY IN ??? YEARS.
STARTED ABOUT 6:30 AND WHO WOULD THINK I WS STILL AWAKE AT 11:00???? SO IT DOES NOT BODE WELL FOR TODAY.. EVERYONE THERE HAS SOME BET ON WHAT TIME I WIL GET THIS DAILY DOGGIE OUT.
3 DOGS THERE ALL PERFECTLY BEHAVED--- WILLOW DUSTIN AND LOGAN-- THOSE 3 PARTNERS WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN OUT PARTYING EXCEPT FOR THE HELP OF THEIR DOGS.
IT IS EASY TO FORGET HOW SUCCESSFUL WE ARE WHEN THERE IS SO MUCH LIGHT HEARTED NONSENSE GOING ON.. LIKE WHERE IS LARS???
LARS IS A DOG TOY--- WITH A PERSONA BIGGER THAN LIFE- HE HAD A NASTY ACCIDENT-- FACE FIRST IN A PILE OF "USED FOOD" AND WAS SENT OFF FOR A BATH.
-----LIKE THE SECOND SOCK, HE NEVER SURVIVED THE LAUNDRY PROCESS....AND HE IS NOW MISSING-- THIS CAUSES HUNDREDS OF COMMENTS BY THE CMERA PEOPLE ABOUT POOR LARS BEING KIDNAPPED--- A CAMERA PERSON EVEN SENT 2 LARS LOOK ALIKE-S - TONY AND HANK - TO LOOK FOR LARS... I CAN HONESTLY SAY I HAVE NOT SEEN LARS--- BUT I HAVE HEARD RUMORS-
LIKE THE WHOOPIE PIE CAPER-- THIS IS GOING TO GO ON FOR A WHILE-- PROBABLY IN THE 5PM MAIL CALL SESSION... AND THE FACEBOOK SDP PAGE--( WHICH I DON'T READ)
*****************
COUPLE THINGS...
AS THE VOLUNTEERS AGE AROUND HERE--- THE NEED FOR READING GLASSES INCREASES-- "I LEFT THEM IN THE CAR" IS HEARD CONSTANTLY-- I KNOW NEARLY EVERYONE HAS A PILE OF GLASSES NO LONGER NEEDED IF SOME OF YOU WOULD SEND THEM, WE COULD HAVE A PILE OF EMERGENCY GLASSES HERE IN THE OFFICE...... AND IF WE GET TOO M ANY I WILL GIVE THEM TO THE LIONS CLUB...
**********
DAVID WROTE ABOTU SOMEONE HE KNEW NEEDING A WHEEL CHAIR AND SEVERAL CAMER PEOPLE WNT TO CONTRIBUTE--- SO ALONG WITH THE FUN FUND, BOOK ORDERS... AND THE SPIRIT BUCKET, I WILL NOW HAE ANOTHER CONTAINER FOR DONATIONS TO THE DWC (DAVIDS WHEELCHAIR FUND)
******
I LIKE OPENING ALL THOSE COLORED ENVELOPES WITH THE CHEERFUL MESSAGES-- (BEATS OPENING THE UTILITY BILLS.)
************
WHICH REMINDS ME--- THE DUMPSTER GUY-- A NEW COMPANY--- NOW DOES NOT WNT ANYTHING PILED ON TOP OF THE DUMPSTER-- THE OLD COMPANY WOULD TAKE WHATEVER PAUL COULD BALANCE UP THERE--- SOFAS, BEDS,, ETC... THIS GUY WANTS THE TOPS SHUT.-- TRASH IS A HUGE PART OF OUR LIVES....
***************
SOMEONE GAVE US A $1000 CHECK TO DO SOME "IMPROVEMENT " FOR SDP THAT SHE COULD LOOK AT ON CAMERA-- SO WE ARE GOING TO PUT UP AN OFFICIAL FLAGPOLE..
*****
SPEAKING OF ON CAMERA-- THIS NEW CAMERA TIM SENT IS TO TAKE THE PLACE OF THE INDOOR CAMERA???? REALLY??? I THOUGHT WE WERE DOING PRETTY WELL WITH THE ONE WE HAVE--- THE NEW ONE HAS PTZ CAPABILITIES ( OR PST OR PXR WHATEVER..) WHICH I AM AFRAID MEANS THEY CAN CONTROL IT FROM CALIFORNIA...-- I AM NOT SURE I LIKE THAT -- THINK---- ME RUNNING FOR THE ALARM SYSTEM STRAIGHT OUT OF THE BATHTUB... I NEED TO KNOW WHICH DIRECTION THE CAMERA IS POINTED AT ALL TIMES
I THINK IT WOULD BE BETTER USED DOWN IN THE T TENT.
**************
BROOKSBY VILLAGE DAY YESTERDAY-- WE TOOK 3 DOGS-- FIDO, IVY AND BAILEY- TO THE SENIOR HOME TO ENTERTAIN A GROUP OF WHEELCHAIR BOUND VERY OLDER PEOPLE..
PROBLEM WAS ... IT WAS 1:00 WHICH IS MY NAP TIME--- SO I SAT IN A CHAIR-- IN A ROW-- WITH ALL THESE PEOPLE AND PROCEEDED TO FALL SLEEP--I DON'T THINK MEGN TOOK A PICTURE-- SHE CERTAINLY COULD HAVE-- WHEN I BOLTED AWAKE AND LOOKED AROUND IT CERTAINLY WAS A SHOCK TO THIINK, I AM PROBBLY OLDER THAN SOME OF THESE PEOPLE NOW....
THE CONCEPT OF AN AID COMING IN WITH 4 TINY CUPS OF WHAT LOOKED LIKE PUDDING- TO BE SPOONED INTO SOMEONE HARDLY AWAKE... WAS NOT A GOOD THING TO CONTEMPLATE.
YET THERE I WAS IN THE ROW OF PEOPLE NOT TOTALLY AWAKE MID DAY
I AM TOTALLY AWAKE T MIDNIGHT-- IN SPITE OF THE BENEDRYL AND BRANDY
.
****************
THE RAINBOW BRIDGE PLAQUE IS SUPOSEDILLY EN TRANSIT-- WITH THE TRAQCKING NUMBER OF UPS 1234646F0346676552 I DON'T KNOW IF THAT DIGIT AFTER THE F IS A ZERO OR AN "O" BUT SO FAR I CAN'T FIND A TRACK FOR IT.
*******
I TURNED ON CNN LAST NIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN WEEKS
I FIND THEY ARE EXACTLY WHERE I LEFT OFF WEEKS AGO
ONCE AGAIN PROVING.. IF YOU DON'T WATCH THE NEWS , NOTHING HAPPENS.
************
SOMEONE CAREFULLY GAVE US INSTRUCTIONS OF HOW TO USE THE POOP SCOOPERS ON A 3 X 6 PIECEOF CARDBOARD.
MEGAN REALLY WANTS TO START COLLECTING A WALL FULL OF THESE IN THE LAUNDRY...
THERE ARE SO MANY.. SO CLEVER... I AM NOT SURE WHERE SHE COULD STOP.
******************
TIME TO MAKE THE DONUTS
don't forget it...
