return

It's been almost 7 months since I've written on my blog.  I have decided to try again to put thoughts into written word and to communicate with old friends and hopefully make a few new ones.  I'm not very good at computers but I am trying.  My one son picks a topic and talks about it, maybe I will try that.  But for now I am just saying Hi I am back and see if anyone is still out there that I know or if anyone would like to suggest a topic. 

frustrated

I don't get it. I can read the posts but can't make comments on anything. I even changed my settings and was hoping it would work but NO, it still won't let me make a comment on anyone's blog. I feel like giving up on this whole computer thing.

alone

My 92 year old mother who lives in a mobile home part lives alone. She has a neighbor who checks on her, I think she's in her 70's. she brings over her paper for my mother to read and they spend time talking some times after the neighbor gets home from her part time job. She also drives my mother to my house every Wednesday to help me take care of things around my house since I have become disabled and some things are hard for me to do, but my 92 year old mother has no problem doing them. Her family have all lived long healthy lives, some over 100. Anyway my sister is visiting for a few days and staying with my mother. This morning she called and said my mother was worried about the neighbor cause her inside light was on all night and she had not brought over the paper. They found her on the floor, she'd had a massive stroke and laid there all night in the cold cause the door was open and it was cold last night. I have been trying to get my mother to get an emergency pendent, even though I call every morning and my sister calls every evening, but she refuses. She is very upset by what has happened butI hope it will let her see that even if you have someone right next door you still might not be found for awhile. Seniors and disabled people are alone a lot of the time, I wish more people would befriend them so they aren't so alone. I know my mother well and I know she will still not get an emergency pendent .

skirts

I've noticed in the ads and on TV lately a revisited fashion trend I like. The length of skirts has been getting longer. Most are now knee length. I think this is a very classy look. So much nicer than the (show your butt) mini skirts. Now if they could just get the guys to stop wearing their pants around their hips or lower.

Can't comment

It has been about a year since I blogged. I have read everyone things on a regular basis but always had trouble making comments and now it seems I can't make comments at all. If anyone can give me an answer to this problem I'd appreciate it. I try comments under Google, livejournel, and several other ways. It no longer gives me the choice of annonomus, which it wouldn't accept either.

Paul - a comment for your blog. This is what I was talking about, taking time in your day to enjoy something even if it's little. If you get a chance go out to the bird sanctuary. It's beautiful and relaxing. the migrating swans will be out there soon, maybe even now.

Oh Darn

Just got the blood work results for my next Doctor appointment. Not as good as I'd hoped for. Not only is the CK count up 60 more points (to 777) but about 4 or 5 out of the other 12 tests are off normal - usually there just one off somewhere. I'm not feeling bad and have even had some good days where I could do some stuff so I don't get it.

surprise

It's down right cold today. Some sprinkles too. Doing the laundry, sitting at the computer checking out stuff when there is an explosion. Sounds like it's in the back of the house. I get up look in every room. Go out back and look all over, come back in the house and search every room again. Can't find anything but it definately was an explosion. So I work on the laundry some more and the computer some more then go to get something to drink. There it is - the explosion (and now a mess to clean up) a can of 7-up on the top shelf, in the back, of the refrigator had turned to ice and exploded inside the refrigator. Wow what a loud noise it had made. Hope the rest of my day is quiet!
