WELLLLL....I HAVE JUST PROVEN THE M&M DISPENSER IS HAZZARDOUS TO MY DIET PLAN-
IF MATTER MAY NEITHER BE CREATED OR DESTROYED HOW CAN 1/2 CU P OF M&M MAKE ME GAIN A POUND. FORTUNATELY IT IS NOW EMPTY--- NOT THAT WE SHOULD FILL IT... BUT MAYBE MOVE IT TO THE LAUNDRY ROOM.
CHAOS.....YESTERDAY EARLENE CALLED AND SAID SHE WOULD BE HERE IN 5 MINUTES-- GIVING ME A A CHANCE TO PUT CHAOS ON CAMERA FROM SOUND ASLEEP, BORED ---TO TELLING HER "PAUL'S COMING"( PAUL IS CHAOS NAME FOR EARLENE) AND SEEING HER JUMP UP AND GO TO THE WINDOW TO WAQTCH FOR HER CAR-- GET ALL EXCITED WHEN SHE ARRIVED AND RUN TO TH E FRONT DOOR... I HOPE SOMNE ONE TAped it-- IT IS QUITE SPECTACULAR.
THEY WENT FOR A LONG WALK- AND THEN TOOK HER HOME FOR OVERNIGHT. SHOULD BE BACK TODAY.
THERE ARE SOOOO MANY REPORTS OF CARS AND TRUCKS SLIDING AROUND, I MAY NOT GO TO WALMART IN SEARCH OF HAIR CURLERS...
YOU WOULDN'T THINK........ START WITH FACT 1... I HAD 8 CURLERS AND NOW HAVE 4.
EVEN IF "THERE IS MANY A SLIP TWIXT CUP AND LIP...."
THEY GO FROM MY DRAWER TO MY HEAD TO MY DRAWER- SO IT IS A SHORT CIRCLE-- ALL 8 AT ONCE... WHY AM I MISSING 4?
I CAN NOT IMAGINE THAT THEY WOULD TASTE GOOD TO A DOG-- AND I CAN NOT IMAGINE ANYONE AROUND HERE SO HARD PRESSED FOR A HAIR CURLER THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO STEAL 4 OF MINE,.-- SO IT MUST BE GOLDIE ( GHOST OF THE LEFTHAND DRAWER)
-- SINCE I WASHED THE DRAWER OUT WITH ANNESETTE LIQUOR, WE HAVE NOT HEARD MUCH FROM HER.
I THOUGFHT FOR SURE SHE WAS BACK WHEN WE NOTICED A VERY WIERD SMELL EVERY NIGHT AT MAIL CALL-- TIL WE DISCOVERED THE DRY EARASE MARKERS WER THAT SOURCE OF THAT STRANGE SMELL.
ON THE TOPIC OF ODORS.... I HAVE SEEN -- ON THE INTERNET-- SO IT MUST BE TRUE-- THAT THE GAS PRODUCED BY DOGS WILL PREVENT CANCER.
SO WE ARE ALL SET AROUND HERE.
***********
BUD---DID A WONDERFUL THING YESTERDAY HE TRIED TO USE THE COMPRESSOR AND IT DIED-- SO BUD, BEING BUD AND ELECTRICALLY INCLINED, TOOK IT APART IN THE ALLEY OF THE DOG KENNEL ( HEATED AREA) AND PICKED... AND PICKED... AND PICKED ENOUGH "STUFFING " OUT OF IT TO 1/2 FILL A 5 GAL BUCKET--- PROBABLY MICE BECAUSE OF THE SIZE HOLE THEY CHEWED TO GET INTO THE COMPRESSOR. THE PROBLEM WAS CLEARLY WELL BELOW BUD'S LEVEL OF ELECTRICAL EDUCATION... WHAT HIS EDUCATION DID WAS TO GIVE HIM THE COURAGE TO START.
THAT WAS ONE OF THE INTELLECTUAL CONVERSATIONS THAT GOT GOING AROUND THE COFFEE POT YESTERDAY.. IS COLLEGE WORTH THE COST? I AM NOT SURE... FOR A COUPLE REASONS.
I WAS WELL PAID BY A COMPANY FOR 19 YEARS BEFORE THEY FOUND OUT I HAD A COLLEGE DEGREE. THEN I AM AFRAID HAVING A COLLEGE DEGREE IS INCLINED TO ENCOURAGE A PERSON TO THINK CERTAIN JOBS ARE BENEATH THEM.
THAT IS ONE THING THAT MAKES OUR GROUP SO UNIQ1UE AND ENJOYABLE-- PICKING POO IS NOT BENEATH ANYONE. I TAKE GREAT DELIGHT IN TELLING THE KIDS WHO COME TO DO COMMUNITY SERVICE THAT POO PICKING IS EVERYONE'S FIRST JOB.. AND THERE ARE QUITE A FEW-- BOTH BOYS AND GIRLS WHO GET SQUEAMISH AND RUN FOR THE DOOR - WITH A "I AM NOT DOING THAT" ---ATTITUDE.. MAKES ME WONDER.....
IT HAS NOT BEEN SAID ON THE INTERNET OFTEN ENOUGH- THAT "A VERY EFFICIENT MOTHER OFTEN MAKES FOR A KID WHO IS INCAPABLE OF MUCH. "
FOR A WHILE AROUND HERE I HAD JUGGLING BALLS- AND WOULD SAY TO KIDS IF YOU HAVE NOTHING TO DO TRY LEARNING TO JUGGLE. SOME DID-- SOME DID NOT EVEN TRY... TRYING WAS THE CRITICAL PART.

Carlene,
Hi, It's Brenda and Dolly stopping by to let you know how things are going.
The last 6 weeks have been a difficult time for our family. My Mom became very ill and in three short weeks passed away. During that time Dolly was a champ, she was amazing!! It was quite a distance to walk from the parking lot to her room. I would not have been able to do it without Dolly's help. A year ago i had an aunt that was in the same area of the hospital and had to use a wheel chair to visit with her. Now that I have Dolly I was able to do it dependently! That is a great feeling.
Dolly had her own spot in Mom's room where the nurses had a very nice makeshift bed for Dolly, with many many layers of nice blankets. She even had her own wash basin for fresh water and several things to occupy her time. She was such a good girl. She became a celebrity with people stopping by just to see her. Sometimes as we were walking down the hallways we would overhear the nurses and sometimes doctors saying," There's the dog !!" They loved having her there, they said it changed the atmosphere and they enjoyed it.
Thanks again for "Everything" that "Everyone" does to make it possible for me and others to have the freedom and independence to be able to do the things we want and like to do, but also for the things that we "Need" to do. Like help take care of an ailing parent in their final journey in life. Without Dolly i would never have been able to spend the time with her that I did. It was because of the independence that Dolly has given to me that I can feel at peace that we (Dolly and I ) did all that was possible for Mom. I am forever grateful for that, so thank you so much!!
Brenda
