I had to run an errand this morning, and stopped at the store and saw a coffee cup that read "don't get depressed, buy shoes". I had to stifle my laughter.....no, I didn't buy the cup! :)

But how ya liking your new shoes? :D

i bought gas today for $1.89/gal. in california. with our state's "special" blend.

i think i had hair the last time i paid below $2/gal.

and that was pretty long ago...

later, i went to the grocery store and bought a gallon of milk for like $2.49.

i can't remember the last time (if ever) gas was cheaper than milk here.


bad news is that my retirement fund is heavily invested in oil stocks...

Drats, I misread dat as Aurora Borealis... <sigh>


Besides that, someone wants me around longer. :)

Count us in!

Excuse my manners (or lack thereof), welcome to da bestest congregation on da web! Pull up a sit down and rock/vape your azz off.

Hey, dis gathering has put up wid moi (even if reluctantly), so your gonna be a 'porch family member in good standing'...


Bread and circuses for the masses.

Robert, really not pickin' on ya, but I've laid low as to da several comments re da NFL/SB and 'mis-spent' monies. It's just too bad dat dose dat revel in da B&C don't have da ability to be as avid 'bout gov't wasteful spending!

BTW, as far as I'm concerned, you're absolutely right (as in correct). I only focused on da actual play time, although I did see a very few entertaining commercials. Since I pay fer cable, da SB was 'free'.

Hellava good game! Gottaluv when da xperts are wrong and humility is da result!


PSA .. go to ::

60W 60 Watt Equivalent Slim Style A19 LED Light Bulb Soft White 2700K 12 Pack

And score 60 Watt Equivalent Slim Style LED Light Bulb Soft White 2700K 12 Pack at $24.99 with Free Ship .. just over 2 bucks a bulb ..

Great 'catch'! Have a few LEDs left, but I'll def take advantage of your PSA.


I've been trying to do that already. Problem is, my mom doesn't want to focus on all that. She wants to just focus on making the most of the time we have left by being as happy as we can all be, which is fine for me.

TS, I've followed your openness and situational self-evaluation. Besides the excellent advise/support proffered by our fantastic porch family, I'll only add that, please, do not under estimate your own vision and abilities. Your soul searching discoveries posted here tells me that you're more than capable to accomplish what will, in the end, prove to be the best outcome.

Most, if not all, of our porch family has had to deal with similar, if not identical, situations. It's an almost inescapable faction of life!!!

Be assured that you're not alone. I'm more than confident that you and yours are on multiple porch prayer/positive vibe/karma lists!

We're here fer ya...


Rich & famous, no, but that is not the mark of a successful life.

AMEN!

Attaboy girl! I would pay fer a copy of da surveillance vid.

I did not comment on wasting money on the SB. I just do not care for spectator sports. Playing them is fine. I have no heroes.
The bread and circuses thing is keep the masses occupied on things other than they what they should focus on like corrupt government and such.

Well I got xrays and will have the results tomorrow. Feels better today. Still really sore. Ginny watched the xrays and didn't see any obvious breaks so it might just be a real bad bone bruise. They told me that takes a while to go away. I was able to walk in with Ginny on one arm and my cane in the other but the way these legs work there is no pressure on the end of your stump so it's possible that I just bruised the end of my tibia really bad. The swelling was better today too. When I went down I hit the end of my stump real hard and all that is there is the tibia where they cut it off. Will find out for sure tomorrow.
