We got rid of the last of it just before we flew to Los Angeles in January 2004 - guess what the main meal was on the plane - lamb |

Sometimes BBQ ribs, but eating them for the 4th of July is what started all this "diabetes" problem for me you know. Every year I give up more and more..like the kid's birthday cakes. Today would of been my mother's 86th birthday had she lived past 48 years old...but she didn't. Water under the bridge, but was shure thinking of her last night with this Christmas Music..her playing any string or key instrument us to leave us going to bed with music...she played it often at night as her kind of "relaxation" ...I was remebering that last night with the Song of"Silver Bells" ...she was always an person liked happy music and gentle music. So I was singing along last night and hubby came upstairs to see whom I was conversing with. He took one look at being plugged into the CD player, shut off the light and wnet back downstairs. His aura gave me the feeling of an ogre of some kind though. I woke up to my tv set telling me I had interference problems with the reception..to call Comcast for help.That means thier statellite out in space is having "Hacking" problems again. I left the house for the radiation it send through my house cable...makes me sick. It was probably because I was singing the Christmas music last night...and said "Christ..the King" in one of the lyrics....as I don't think they beleive in Jesus. Just another reason that "Red Elk" claims it's Satan on my tail bothering me.So I went out to see my daughter in-law and ran into my grand-daughter sick and home today also. Skies are heavily chemtrailed today...perhaps to keep this incoming rain from beign snow instead? Heavy chemtrailing over there area also. Which may of been why she was sickly looking. They mess up an person's electrical field...and even my cats...they kept begging me to let them out so they could get away from it. No birds or inscests to be seen either I guess you know. Like an planetary "desert" from life of an sorts. My son told me the other day that one does not put up an Christmas Tree until after Thanksgiving...and I said...Yes, particularly if it's an live tree you have cut down...but not so other wiise. So out shopping in my thrift shop yesterday I ran into an 3 foot all ceramic tree with tiny ornaments cascading down it decoration of toys and gifts under it...I took it out there with the game of Scrabble in Chocolate playing blocks wrapped in gold,small Scottish plaid plates for cookies, napkins to match and a bright red candle in an glass jar and set it all by their CD player along with an new Music Christmas Tape, around the tree...and an small bowl of various taffy..and told her to point it out to my son...and tell him it's his "Christmas Corner" until after Thanksgiving....compliments of his mother. Fellas need us gals to soften thier hearts you know...and inpart that life is special to us all. I can't say coming back home that I'm still feeling all that better myself right now...I just had lunch and finished it off with an chocolate fiber bar and some tea..with soup/crackers. Let's see Ithink they said the weather front is already coming in at the coast, though it's snowing over there on the southern oregon mountains...and should arrive here in the afternoon today or tomarrow. I think I go an rest an bit...or read my book... Talk later on.
