Boy, been a long time since I posted here.

This is my safety gauge--when I see the ketchup boy, John Kerry windsurfing the bountiful blue gulf waters, hanging tight with his hair blowing in the wind following the gulf stream then I will eat a shrimp.

Now that is a promise from a gal who has never eaten a shrimp in her life.

Oh by the way Aunt Sarah and Uncle Willy sent an Easter Card from wonderful Arkysaw and told me to say hi to all the Scrapplers!

Spring floods have come through and washed all the cow droppings away and as you all know, in Arkansas, all rivers flow south to Little Rock. Willy is attempting to redirect the flow to Chicago.

I suppose next we will be forced to send Christmas Cards, Easter Cards, Valentine Cards and on Obamommy's birthday, a card on Africa Continent Pride Day.

"Tactically, the senior adviser said, the president will execute an “omnidirectional pivot” — essentially, moving “full steam ahead on all major policy fronts at once.”

Umm, how about just moving. Pakistan is beautiful this time of year.

Batter, batter, batter? Well it ain't batter unless it is buttermilk batter. Pass the maple syrup please

I hear an old TV show in the back of my head--somewhat reminiscent of Lassie Come Home with a word play on Lassie. Oh, shut up Shelly. Brokenback Mountain please call home.

I'm out of here. Must make cheese bread today. Pass the Asiago cheese please.

Tanks!

sleep machine????

Now you C-Span--now you don't.

Gee, I never get an e-mail anymore stating Scott has posted something new. So here is my much belated Merry Christmas. I am back on the mend again. I can't remember if I told anybody about my ordeal or not, but let me just say this was one Christmas I would not want to repeat.

But we are looking at 2010 not scanning the rear view mirror. I ahem, have not resorted to grown-up pull ups yet, but my MS may soon dictate Grannie Pampers or Homely Huggies. At such time will I be deemed a potential terrorist.

What about a senior who has just had a Blazing Saddle moment? Need I say more? Nope. Good b,y and Happy New Years

Hey, where is my free cardigan, since my income is rather poorly fixed. No cost of living raise this year ya know. Well, my thermostat is never turned on since I receive free heat from the elderly who love below me who turn up the thermostats to solar temps. In turn I must open the windows at night so I can sleep. Maybe I am ahead of the curve but I enjoy room temps about 66 to 68 degrees.

I have been wiped for for a week since my neurologist put me under a 5 day intensive IV steroid treatment. I thought I would be busy on my computer since normally I get this treatment in the hospital, not home, but now the new economy says no more hospital. My aide did come every day along with an RN to hang the ol' bag. Well, today is cold turkey day and I hope to get my brains back soon. What brain cells I did have were useless and I spent most of the day watching a host of Christmas, detective and cowboy movies on the boob tube. Logic was erased for a week so news programs didn't even excite me.

We are seeing a bit of our first snow today. Somewhat late for the first dusting but I won't see what the other side of the Appalachians are getting (thankfully), but I do like snow--it is just that I haven't poked my head outside for a week and need to accomplish a thing or two at the market.

After this week let winter begin!
