YOU ALL PROBABLY ALL KNOW IT IS SUNDAY- AND SO DO I,--- DUE TO THE 2 GREAT DAILY CLOCKS I HAVE ON MY WALLS....
BECAUSE TAKING CARE OF ANIMALS ON A FARM IS A 7 DAYS A WEEK, I CAN GET VERY CONFUSED ABOUT THIS MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THING- IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER EXCEPT IN MY BEDROOM WHERE I CHECK THE DAY CLOCK TO SEE WHICH LITTLE BOX OF PILLS I NEED TO TAKE- OTHER THAN THAT..IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER.. THE DOGS COULD NOT CARE LESS WHAT DAY--
I AM GLAD SOMEONE REDESIGNED THIS THE MOON THING WITH THE 30.3333 DAY CYCLE--- SO WE DON'T HAVE TO REMEMBER 30 DIFFERENT NAMES FOR THE DAYS.
30 DAYS HATH SEPTEMBER IS ENOUGH OF A STRAIN IN TEH MEMORY DEPARTMENT...
*********
I HAVE HAD MANY RESPONSES TO THE TAXATION BIT OF YESTGERDAY-- MOST HAVE LOOKED UP SOME LAW ABOUT TAX AND CHARITY STATUS AND REAL ESTATE-- THERE IS SOME 61-A SOMEWHERE WITH A 957 SOMETHING ELSE.. AND MY LAWYER WILL BE IN THE OFFICE TOMORROW... REAL ESTATE TAX FREE STATUS WOULD BE A VERY INTERESTING THING... FROM WHAT I READ --- WELL--- KEEPING IN MIND THAT I DON'T READ WELL...I AM NOT SURE WHAT I READ...
*****
MOSTLY MY READING PROBLEMS ARE RELATED TO THE AGING SHORT TERM MEMORY LOSS-- BY THE TIME I GET TO THE END OF A LINE OF PRINT, I HAVE NOT ONLY FORGOTTEN WHAT THE FIRST PART SAID BUT I DON'T KNOW WHICH LINE OF THE PRINT IS NEXT...
MAKES READING DIRECTIONS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE .... LET ALONE LAW STUFF...
I CAN TELL YOU WHEN I FIRST NOTICED THIS REDING PROBLEM--( I ONLY TELL YOU THIS BECAUSE IT WAS SO SUBTLE THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO KNOW)---- WHEN I WAS YOUNGER ... LIKE 50... I COULD RATTLE OFF LONG STRINGS OF THINGS LIKE PHONE NUMBERS WIT GREAT ACCURACY...
AND THEN.... ONE DAY........ I NEEDED TO COUNT A BIG PILE OF $1 BILLS- I GOT TO 10 NICELY... AND CONTINUED 1 TO 9 AND SAID 20 1 TO 9 AND SAID 30... 1 TO 9 ... AND OH DANM WAS THE LAST 20 OR 30?START AGAIN.... THAT VERY SHORT TERM MEMORY WAS GONE.... NEVER TO RETURN...
MY SON IN LAW POINTED OUT TO ME-- I WOULD FIGURE OUT A WAY TO DO SOMETHING AND THEN HE SAID I WOULD NEVER DO IT--- RIGHT-- THAT WAS BECAUSE I HAD FORGOTEN WHAT I FIGURED OUT THE FIRST TIME. DOESN'T MATTER IF THE PROCESS WAS PRETTY STRAIGHT FORWARD LOGIC --- BUT GET CREATIVE AND YOU CAN NOT ... NECESSARILY ... COME TO THE SAME CONCLUSION ALL THE TIME.
NOT FINISHING PROJECTS CAN BE ANNOYING, UNTIL YOU CAN'T REMEMBER YOU STARTED THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE.
WHICH IS WHY... OLD PEOPLE ... LIKE ME... TELL THE SAME STORIES OVER AND OVER--
LET ME BE THE FIRST TO WARN YOU... GETTING OLD WILL TAKE ALL THE CREATIVITY YOU CAN MUSTER... HEARING ...SEEING... MOVING.... ARE NOT NORMAL THINGS ANYMORE.
HOWEVER EATING WHIPPED CREAM AND SPAGETTI..IS STILL NOT A PROBLEM.
*******
SPEAKING OF EATING--- ONE OF THE GUYS WHO WORKED HERE THIS WEEK ASKED IF HE COUOD BRING HIS FAMILY TO TH EOPEN HOUSE-- SUNDAY.. I SAID " SURE. ESPECIALLY IF YOU BROUGHT SOMETHING INTERESTING TO EAT..." SEEING AS HE WAS AFRICAN AMERICAN WE GOT INTO THE TOPIC OF FOOD..... ...PERSONALLY I WAS THINKING THINGS LIKE FRIED CHICKEN-- AND HE MENTIONED GREENS AND THINGS..
NOW IF I COULD ONLY FIND A PERSON TO BRING SOME INDIAN MUTEER PANEER, SAMOSA OR ONION NAAN... WE COULD ROUND OUT OUR DIET OF CARROT CAKE..AND BROWNIES.... WHICH IS DARN GOOD !! I DON'T THINK YOU CAN COOK INDIAN FOOD UNLESS YOU WERE BORN IN INDIA.

MEMORY... I AM GOING TO TRY A" SNAIL MAIL CALL "AT 1PM ON TUESDAY AND THURSDAY-- FOR SCHOOL KIDS TO SEND MAIL AND ADULTS ASK QUESTONS IN THE COMMENT-- THE USUAL DEAL... EXCEPT IT WILL BE WITHIN SCHOOL HOURS. THIS WILL MEAN I WIL L NEED TO BE REMINDID AND WEAR A WATCH-- AND I MST HAVE 3 ALL HARDY WATER/SHOCK PROOF WATCHES... MAYBE FIND AMUSING SCIENCE PROJECTS AT THAT TIME... THE NUTTY PROFESSOR STUFF... I LIKE THE TITLE...
IF IT GOES WELL MAYBE SOMEONE WILL TAPE AND STORE IT SO TEACHERS CAN USE IT IN A TIMELY FASHON...? STARTING UP I WON'T HAVE ANY KIDS MAIL TO READ-- SO I CAN READ TEH JUNK MAIL AND COMMENT ON IT....
