PROBLEMS OF THE DAY-- I STARTED TO SAY 2 PROBLEMS OF THE DAY, BUT THEN I STARTED TO LIST THEM-- AND 47 PROBLEMS IS MORE LIKE IT.
THE FIRST-- EXPENSIVE ONE......
ALL THIS FURNATURE WE NOW HAVE LINING THE DRIVEWAY IN PREP FOR THE DUMP RUN... IS STILL THERE-- DOESN'T SOUND LIKE TOO MUCH--- EXCEPT-------- IT IS GETTING HEAVILY RAINED ON--- SOFAS SOAK UP FLUIDS BIG TIME-- AND SINCE WE GET WEIGHED IN AND OUT, THIS RAIN IS GOING TO COST US MONEY... UNLESS I LEAVE IT IN THE DRIVEWAY TIL A SUNNY DAY WHEN IT WEIGHS LESS...
******
BRIAN AND PAM WERE HERE YESTERDAY-- AGATHA HAS LETERALLY SAVED BRIAN'S LIFE... APPARENTLY
THEY WERE FULL OF STORIES ---- HE WAS HAVING 5 SEIZURES A DAY- AND IS DOWN TO ONE IN THE PAST MONTH-- SLEEPING 6 HOURS A DAY-- THINGS LIKE THAT-- THANKS TO HIS DANE PARTNER. LIFE HAS TURNED AROUND... AND AGATHA LOVES HIM-- AND HAS STOPPED CHASING SQUIRRELS !!!
WHEN IT WORKS -- IT WORKS--- WHEN IT DOESN'T , IT DOESNT- AND WE JUST HAVE TO BITE THE BULLET AND DO OUR BEST .
AND I FOUND OUT FROM PAM THAT SHE HAS BEEN SENDING ME EMAILS TO INFO @ OR CARLENE@ AND I AM NOT GETTING THEM
******
RE FINANCES..
THERE ARE SEVERAL REASONS I NEED TO PULL EXPENSE REPORTS AND THIS QUICKEN PROGRAM -- IS HARD TO DESCRIBE--
THE CLOSEST I CAN FIGURE IS, IT HAS A BAD DRINKING PROBLEM.
I PRINTED OUT ONE TRANSACTION-- IMAY HAVE TOLD YOU ALL BEFORE...
I SIMPLY ENTERED A CHECK TO AM EXP FOR 8333.04 AND IT LISTED THAT IN THE "CHECK REGISTER" LOOKED NORMAL-- BUT THEN IT POSTED 2659.62 TO "AUTOMOTIVE EXPENSE" 17,000.00 TO EQUIPMENT AND POSTED A DEPOSIT OF 11,326.54 --- ALL BY ITSELF- THERE IS A GOOD MATH PROBLEM FOR THE PUZZLE PEOPLE--- I CAN NOT SEE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THOSE NUMBERS.. CAN YOU?? AND IT IS NOT "CALLING UP" THOSE NUMBERS FROM PREVIOUS TRANSACTIONS--
THAT IS WHY WE ARE GOING TO QUICKBOOKS NEXT-- ALTHO I AM NOT SURE WHY-- A SIMPLE SPREAD SHEET WOULD BE LOVELY !! GIVE THEM CATAGORIES AND SORT BY THOSE-- THAT IS ALL I USUALLY NEED...
WHAT I DON'T NEED IS "CREATIVE ACCOUNTING"
****
WHICH THEN BRINGS ME TO SETTING UP THIS QUICKBOOKS- LONG AGO WHEN THE SCREEN WAS ONLY BLACK AND WHITE-- AND YOU WROTE PROGRAMS TO ACCOMPLISH WHAT YOU WANTED= AND IF THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN IT WAS TOTALLY YOURS TO FIX.... AND YOU COULD... I WROTE A PROGRAM TO DO ALL THAT -- AND #38 WAS TEH CATOGORY FOR UTILITIES 23 OFFICE EXPENSE 51 ANIMAL FOOD 10 AUTOMOTIVE---18 INSURANCE ----36EQUIPMENT-- LIKE THAT...
THERESA HAS THIS CRAZY IDEA THAT WE JUST USE THE ALPHABET-- THAT IS GOING TO BE ROUGH THAT WOULD PUT ANIMALFOOD (51) BEFORE EQUIPMENT(36) -- AND MY MIND WOULD BALK AT......? IS THAT FOOD, ANIMAL OR ANIMAL,FOOD....IN WHICH CASE IT WOULD PUT EQUIPMENT BEFORE FOOD,ANIMAL WHERE THERE IS A CERTAIN PERMANENCE ABOUT 38 AND 51.
***********
CLUTTER WILL ACCUMULATE TO FILL AVAILABLE SPACE--- BOTH MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY------REGARDLESS OF ALL THOSE COMEERCIALS THAT SAY "GET RID OF CLUTTER" -- CAN NOT BE DONE
**********
I BENT THE AXLE ON THE HORSE TRAILER HITTING THE CEMENT BLOCK GOING INTO TH E DUMP... DO WE FIX- OR JUST GET A NEW ONE AND REPLACE..??? ANY TRAILER EXP PEOPLE OUT THERE? JANINE WANTS TO DRIVE TI THE DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING TO THE SLAUGHTER PENS IN PENNA AND BRING BACK A COUPLE HORSES..
CROOKED AXLE WILL BLOW TIRES-- BAD THING.
*********
AND THE MEDICAL INSURANE FIASCO-- TRYING TO INSURE MEGAN WHO OUTGREW HER MOTHERRS COBRA PLAN AT 26 YEARS OLD.
I AM CERTAINLY NOT THE BRIGHTEST BULB ON THE TREE, BUT I FIND MEDICAL INSURANCE OFFENSIVE TO BEGIN WITH.. TOO MANY LAYERS OF PEOPLE EARNING A LIVING BETWEEN THE CUT FINGER AND THE DR SEWING IT UP.
WHY, PLEASE TELL ME... DO I- AS SERVICE DOG PROJECT -- GET A QUOTE OF $321 FOR SOME DEAL- WHEN IF THEY BOUGHT IT ON THEIR OWN IT WOULD BE $311-- SAME PERSON... SAME DEAL.. BUT ONE MORE LAYER OF PAPERWORK BETWEEN THEM.... AND THE CONCEPT THAT THEY WOULD HAE TO WAIT A COUPLE MONTHS FOR COVERAGE TO TAKE EFFECT.....
WHEN I DON'T UNDERSTAND SOMETHING LIKE THIS, I ALWAYS SUSPECT "RIP OFF" -- ESPECIALLY WHEN I TURN AROUND AND THE BIGGEST BUILDING IN BOSTON IS .... THE INSURANCE BUILDING.
******
I THINK I SHOULD QUIT NOW AND GO PLAY WITH MY MENTAL BLOCKS..

HERE IS THE MEDICAL VET LESSON OF THE DAY-- AND MAYBE PEOPLE MED TOO... GIVE OLD MOMMA NATURE A CHANCE...
Hello Carlene & SDP,
Just an update on Manny. He is doing so much better! Your advice Carlene to let nature take care worked just fine with his terrible limping that he was experiencing. I have been taken him on daily walks and the loss of even more weight all seem to be working in our favor. He occasionally has a hint of limp in his right quarter but it is ever so slight and usually at the end of a walk. So he is feeling better, his symptoms are better, I'm feeling better knowing he is back to his silly and smart self. It was heartbreaking to think the worse right away but the bond that he and I have is the "magic" candidates and their partners experience. Thank you for your support during my difficult time. I have one question. Manny, my aunt & myself attended the Dog Fest a couple of months ago and when his annual service animal re certification was sent shortly after to me it was only for 2 months. Do you want me to bring Manny back up to the farm? It expires 11/15/14. I have always kept up with Manny's paperwork and re certification and I am planning a trip down south and as a courtesy would like to have his current certification in hand as you know the problems that just one uneducated person can cause. Thank you again for the patience that you & SDP have always been available to me and my feeling much better partner, Manny!
Sincerely,
Maureen & Manny
