Well, Ron, I don't exactly ask for this stuff normally...it seems to just happen. Rested a lot yesterday...started taking down the Christmas decorations also.Picking up the pieces where I left off before my "melle" around here started also.Sister said the food filled her small freezer...being on state assistence, I do this every year because she don't get enough money to be warm and pay utiltiy bills and eat too....if she can live off the food I supply her with..she can be warmer in the winter. There is this older man that was in downtown Portland yesterday with an sign around his neck, that looked just like my departed dad...he says he wants an wife. That sounds like something my dad would do also...if it got down to the nitty gritty of dealing with life in general.

Sorry to hear about Peter Evans...I can see him now in heaven eating his little beef pies..laughing. Nelson Mandella got out of the hospital...and Bush " senior" is looking better now also. Has anyone seen any New Year predictions as of yet..astological charts on next year or any such things? I have an birthday in three days from now for my hubby and he has Christmas Tree recycle this weekend for the Scouts. Getting back on my diet again here soon...kind of slipping into it all as it is anyway. My burn is one reason I would never buy one of those turkey cookers, you fill up with oil and fry the bird at an high temperature...last summer all I was reading was this kind of stuff happening to people frying turkey's...with terrific skin burns if anything went wrong. Well, it's looking like the nieghbor's cat wants to be mine..it's up on my window sill righ tnow starting at me. Did you see where the Russians said they out-lawed any Americans trying to adopt Russian kids recently. I think that is an good idea, in that some " foster: parents only take on those kids for an pay check. This has been going on for years now with the Hispanics, though they try to keep it in the family on raising each others kid's for the pay check each month as an "foster" parent. At least if they are low paid, it  helps suppliments the income...and they get other benefits also usually they wouldn't have if the kid stayed in the family..such as medical care. I suppose I should be thinking abou tnext year's garden seeds also. At any rate...better get going...Have an good day everyone.

Peggy he is actually doing quite well considering his fragile condition. Anna manages to visit him daily, despite struggling herself, and we do try to keep him comfortable, but each day is seen as a bonus really. Nice of you to ask though Peggy. Thank you!

Good morning!...I bought my hubby this year's birthday card..it shows an older guy going past two young ladies... with their eyes poped out of their heads nearly...it says..another year older ....and still getting looks from the hotties...when you open the card up... it says....of course it could be because you've got your thong on backwards. ( I'm all Smiles..chuckling)

 I thought that was appropriate this time of the year when people think of vacationing somewhere else because of the weather. Let's see...will be turning 67 years old this year.

My hubby's neice came to town yesterday...stopped by...Ann...took a look at my burns and griminced...we got an chance to talk with her though for an bit...that was nice. Grandaughter is here with

me...just getting up...almost noon. I always tap her on the shoulder as I walk out the door to an store, and wake her up and tell her "I'm headed to such and such store...I'm locking you into the house while I'm gone...so Repunzel..let your hair grow, but don't get to" hariy" doing anything and I'll be right back...keeping my cell phone on for you if you need me. She rolls over with this kind of "duh" look on her face,.. goes back to sleep. Letting out lots of Zzz's in slumber.

I guess I better get going for now...make her some breakfast..see if she survived her night  on the compter, I-pod, watching Tv, talking to her friends on her cell phone...all at once. Have an good day everyone!

Good Day everyone...I'm looking for news on the predictions of 2013..when I ran across this about Kate Middleton...her birthday is January 9th...on her year ahead it says, that in the next couple of months she will make progress on major health goals..because the stars are geared up to cut in half the time to sucessfully revamp everything for her in general. On June 26th love encourages her to  take an risk..and it says an courageous heart is an contented heart. My husbnd is an Capricorn also you know...in all... things look good for them. Woman World's magazine. I think we have already been through the major problems in dealing with the past 15 years...in about everything. The road is never completely smooth but it's good it's not iced over also with problems. My own personal response to the life of my hubby and myself. BTW...talking about "ice"...my hand is pretty much healed from the burn the other day...I'm having ot work on the areas that didn't get it...but for now...you could say I'm "a-peeling" somewhat. Using the anti-biotic cream now and the "scar gel"...but they say to give it three weeks to be healed pretty much.

The number of 13 represents the "rebellion" issue in the world..but change can not come for betterment without an rebellon against the staus quo...from rebellion comes the promise of an better future...esp if it comes under the auspices of God. Our world and it's struggles have always been represented by the number of 13..and in numerolgy it is linked to the number of 8..or infinity...also of "home".  Itwill be up to mankind to make or break the bond with goodness...and one fella the other night said he has about had it...he was taken off the net for hs opinionfrom the "controllers" of the web..he said because he made an political statement of how he felt about things these days. He claims that if your not part of an certain group or "sheeple" squad...you get the proverbial axe. He kind of finally said what many are thinking these days over here...the USA is going down by way of an underground movement to curb our thinking out of the box, and our freedoms..and in short the "Bush" family has not as yet given up on thier dictatorship...that is how clever they were to insitute the beginnings of all this many years ago...if not with help from higher echolons back then...it might all come to roost this year...for clearing it out. What he said is correct...you can talk/see all about whoredom...sex..and show it blantly in media avenues and nothing is done about it, until tis over the edge...you can see violence and crime and drug issues, and your numbed down from its effect so it becomes "acceptable"....and no one bats an eye..but make an honest political statement...they will boycott you if not take you off the net completely. It is encouraged to be on something that makes your thinking numb..or at least an bit in-coherent...rather they use an "health problem" or and "social" party going on with others. So some lady called in and agred with him and said she would sponsor an place where people can't be "silenced" if they have something to say about things these days...as long as its not just gripping, but something with an solution to the problem that is non-harmful to everyone. She promises immunity to everyone also from being banned off the internet. We shall see in the days ahead if she becomes known or not.  Might be an interesting year ahead. Added up it is an "6" year. Let's hope Bush wasn't "John the Baptist" to an new Anti-christ about to come into the world...the good people reign higher this year for all mankind. I go for now, been an long day again for me. Talk to you all later on.

It's a Raven, Peggy.  See how the bill is large and turns downward. Raven's are also larger than the Carrion Crows, but thats relative until you see the two together. 

There is also the Rook and Jackdaw that have the same look with slight differences.
