MY PILL BOX TELLS ME IT IS TUESDAY..
IT BETTER BE BECAUSE IF IT IS THURSDAY AND I AM 2 DAYS BEHIND IN PILLS IT COULD BE A VERY LIVELY DAY .
USUALLY I WAIT TIL I AM DRIVING A 53 FOOT LONG HORSE TRAILER IN THE MIDDLE OF BOSTON TRAFFIC TO TELL SOMEONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THAT I AM ON DILANTIN .FOR SEIZURES
IT HAS WORKED BEAUTIFULLY FOR 40 YEARS-- THE ONLY TIME I HAD A PROBLEM WAS VERY EARLY IN THE PROCESS WHEN I FIGURED I DID NOT NEED THEM.. 2 DAYS OF NO PILLS AND I WAS IN BIG TROUBLE...!! GOD BLESS EDUCATION AND RESEARCH !!
IT CAUSED ME TO THINK OF ALOT OF THINGS I NEVER HAD TO CONSIDER...
AIRLINE'S FREQUENTLY LOST LUGGAGE-- CAMPING TRIP BY CANOE( WHITE WATER DOWN THE COLORADO RIVER) ... DISTANCE TO NEAREST PHARMACY.... AND OF LATE.... AN INCREDIBLY MATURE MEMORY..
I AM NEVER OFFENDED IF SOMEONE ASKS ME IF I HAVE TAKEN MY PILLS TODAY. WHEN THEY DO , THERE IS A SPLIT SECOND WHERE I TAKE INVENTORY OF MY THOUGHT PROCESS.
*******
OTHER THAN THAT...... ANY OTHER PROBLEMS THAT TODAY BRINGS WILL NOT BE CAUSED BY THAT.

TUESDAY-- NO SHEILA--- I DON'T MEAN TO BE UNKIND... WELL ALMOST.... BUT I DID GRIN A BIT WHEN SOMEONE TOLD ME IT WAS SUPPOSED TO RAIN FOR THE NEXT 10 DAYS IN VERO BEACH-- THUNDERSTORMS--
WELL I BET THEY ARE JUST TIDDLEY ONES.. NOT LIIKE THE REAL THUNDER WE HAD AT THE END OF OVER THE RAINBOW DURING DOG FEST...
THAT VIDEO IS WORTH SEEING... THE TIMING OF THAT BOOM COULD NOT HAVE BEEN BETTER.
BIRDS FLY OVER THE RAINBOW WHY OH WHY CAN'T I?
BANG !
WHY DID YOU ASK....I WILL TELL YOU ...BECAUSE I DID NOT SAY YOU COULD.
LEFT ME FEEING A BIT INFERIOR
************
THE PRESSURE POT WORKED BEAUTIFULLY YESTERDAY-- I DID NOT PRESSURE... BUT USED IT AS A SLOW COOKER AND LITERALLY FORGOT IT--- DURING MAIL CALL, I TRIED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO HAVE FOR SUPPER AND SOMEONE REMINDED ME-- THERE IT WAS ALL READY... AND BEING KEPT WARM
PERFECT !
NOW HERE IS ANOTHER MILLION DOLLAR IDEA JUST WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DEVELOP.
COOKING FOR THE MATURE MIND... AND PUT TOGETHER A BUNCH OF APPLIANCES THAT ALL SHUT OFF BEFORE YOU BURN TH E HOUSE DOWN..
UP TO NOW I HAVE HAD TO RELY ON THE FIRE ALARM TO TELL ME WHEN DINNER WAS READY.
DON'T LAUGH--- SOMEONE WILL DO JUST THAT---
I CAN SEE THE RECIPE DIRECTIONS NOW....
SET ALL THE INGREDIENTS ON THE COUNTER TURN OFF YOUR HEARING AID.... BEFORE TURNING ON THE BURNER.. YOU MUST NOT TURN AROUND FOR ANY REASON..
REMEMBER IT IS CALLED A BURNER FOR A GOOD REASON.
*********
THERE ARE 2 METHODS OF MATURE COOKING...
SAS--- STAND AND STIR- WHERE YO U MUST NOT ANSWER THE PHONE OR THE DOORBELL
OR
VLS- VERY LOW SETTING- WHERE YOU WILL REMEMBER IT ONLY WHEN YOU GET HUNGRY
************
OLD AGE IS NOT FOR THE MEEK.
*********
I DROVE AROUND YESTERDAY WITH THE RACK ON THE BACK OF MY CAR--- AND IT DID NOT FALL OFF.. BUD SAID IT WOULD NOT... AND HE WAS RIGHT...
MAYBE I CAN MAKE IT TO SALEM TODAY-- THEY RENT SEGWAY'S THERE.. I WONDER IF ONE WOULD GO ON THT RACK-- IT HAS A RAMP FOR THTAT KIND OF THING
*****
KATI WAS OUT YESTERDAY, AND TRACY, SHANNON AND MEGAN SURVIVED VERY NICELY.

LASTLY
MY COMPLAINT OF THE DAY
TOOTSIE ROLLS
REMEMBER MY OBSERVATON ABOUT KITKATS AND HOW IN BRITAIN THEY SAT THEM ON THE WRAPPER CROOKED- WHICH USED LESS PAPER...THIS SAVING WRAPPING PAPER ETC
WELL THESE TINY TOOTSIE ROLLS ARE WRAPPED WITH MUCH TOO MUCH PAPER- BUT BECAUSE OF THE DIRECTION , THERE IS NOT QUITE ENOUGH TOEVEN PROPERLY
GO ROUND THE TOOTSIE... . BUT IF YOU SET THE TOOTSIE CROOKED AND WRAP THERE IS MUCH TOO MUCH PAPER
BY ACTUAL MEASUREMENT THE WRAPPER IS 3" LONG AND DOES NOT GO AROUND THE TOOTSIE. PUT IT ON AT AN ANGLE AND THERE IS MORE THAN ENOUGH.. ACTUALLY 3/4 INCH TOO MUCH.
THAT IS 3" = 12/4ths SO A SAVING OF 3/4ths IS A SAVING OF 25%
I WONDER WHAT IS 25% OF THEIR COST OF WAXED PAPER? OR MORE IMPORTANT , HOW MANY CHICKEN BRICKS COULD THEY BUY WITH THAT MONEY.
SOMEBODY OUGHT TO CALL THEM AND TELL THEM TO BUY CHICKEN BRICKS WITH THE MONEY THEY SAVE.
