AND I THINK I KNEW THAT !!
I HAVE ALREADY SUGGESTED TO MY CHILDREN THAT IF THE SITUATION ARRISES THEY ARE TO PLAY SHOW MUSIC...
NOW IF I COULD JUST GET MY CAR TO PLAY THEM YOU WOULD ALL REMAIN SAFE.

THIS WILL BE A WIERD DD..
SOMEWHERE I HAVE READ THAT ONLY A VERY FEW PEOIPLE DREAM IN COLOR-
AND LAST NIGHT WAS ONE OF THOSE TIME... SO I WROTE IT DOWN INTHE BACK OF MY SUDOKO BOOK BEFORE I FORGOT ... THE DETAILS MAKE IT CURIOUS..
CAST OF CHARACTERS: #1 STEVE- A HIGHSCHOOL FRIEND--- AND HIS WIFE BARBARA---
BARBARA AND I WERE WANDERING AROUND A SUBURB- SHE CARRYING A WHITE CLOTH BAG
SHE WAS COLLECTING MONEY FOR SOME CHARITY- AND THE CLOTH BAG ALSO HAD MY SMALL CLIPBOARD IN IT.
A TEENAGE KID SAID HIS FATHER HAD A BUNCH OF MONEY AND RAN IN THE HOUSE-THE MAN RETURNING
WITH A 50 CENT ROLL OF PENNIES WHICH HE DROPPED IN THE BAG. WE STOPPED TO TALK TO A
COUPLE WHO LIVED IN A VERY SMALL HOUSE ABOUT 10 X 10 - VERY CLEAN AND TIDY AND THEY RAN
EVERYTHING FROM EXTENSION CORDS OUTSIDE IN THE YARD.-- WALKED PAST ONE WOMAN SITTING ALONE IN A CHAIR ON A WHITE BEACH. TO A PIZZA PLACE WITH A COUNTER AND 6 STOOLS--
AND VERY GREASY BACON AND LETTIUCE PIZZAS ABOUT 18" X 8" --- I MEASURED IT...- BARBARA GAVE ME MY CLIPBOARD AND LEFT. STEVE CAME IN WEARING A YELLOW TUXEDO-, REMOVED HIS TIE AND JACKET AND HAD A DARK GREY SWEATER UNDERNEATH. ......AND THAT IS WHEN I WOKE UP.
THAT GREEN LETTUCE , BROWN BACON WITH RED TOMATOE SAUCE PLUS
STEVE'S YELLOW TUX WERE DEFINITELY IN COLOR.
THERE ARE PIECES I DEFINITELY RECOGNIZE- MOST NOTABLY THE EXTENSION GORDS AND THE POWER OUTAGE THE OTHER DAY. IT WAS DEFINITELY FLORIDA....?WOMAN IN CHAIR--? MAN WITH THE PENNIES?--? TD BANK IS COUNTING COINS FOR CHARITY---- TINY HOUSES???
I WAS VERY BUSY DREAMING.... IN COLOR.

TWAN SENT THE VIDEO OF CHAOS WHIPPING THE KIDS IN ORDER... SHE ASSESSES THE SITUATION FOR 12.5 MINUTES ON THE TIMER- THE DECIDES TO TAKE COMMAND AND 13.11 SHE SNAPS AND THEY QUIT.
WELL DONE !

another well done... staci got 120 pokerchip key chains put together-- the chips had teh hole already drilled-- but still those chains had the overlapping loop bit that is 1/4 inch--how they spread that to accept the pokerchip is beyond me... and they( her son??) did the first bunch bouncing along in a car on the way back to conn. i need to know how they did that... i could maybe do 1 an hour.. if i was lucky... i am missing something.
*************
the book i got at mailcall yesterday "garbage land" is teh one i remember--- and am enjoying reading it again.
she is a good writer..and has done her homework.... i can relate to every piece of trash she traces down to floor sweepings .. it certainy affects what i buy--but not yet how i get rid of it.-- numbers like- the avg american throws out 4.7 pounds of trash per day-- that is 1.8 pounds more than 45 years ago-- and there are more of us.--
there are certain things fo r which i do not mind paying taxes--- trash collection is one of them..
drinking water is another.
*****
which brings up another topic- ipswich has wonderful town water... from many deep wells --i think we should experinent with refilling our poland springs bottles with ipswich town water... it is good-
we need a sign on the cases of bottles---" take one and refill it for a week" i bet we'd save $50 a month--- i know we would !
******
the clock on the wall says sunday- ( wonderful clock--- i have 2 -- takes away all that uncertinty about who's coming or which pill in the weekly pill box to swallow..)
*****
bailey meandered to the teepee yesterday and trotted some back to the house... she is still covered by the 2 week antibiotic-- and is ( being forced to take) 75mg of duramax-- which is aparently not only a pain killer but a slight anti inflamitory. she looks great--- lesson ---heavy drugs are a bad thing-- i could have sworn she was not going to live a week from that one shot i gave her to try and get around her not liking to have the duramax shoved down her throat..
please-- don't send me all the ways to get a pill down a dog.. we know all of them.. so does she. she is very talented at pill location. and if i grind it up and put it in her food-- one slight sniff- even with vicks in her nose.... she won't eat the food... been there done that. pill pockets are a joke. she can wolf down 1/2 a stick of butter and spit out the pill hidden in it.
**********
maybe i can get some kid to get the show tunes on my phone-- which talks to my car- so i can sing show tunes in the car....... just in case.
