All Over The Place

I've had several short stays lately. Luka for 2 nights, then I'll go back for 2 more at the end of the month.


Kodiak was next, just two nights. I'll be back in September for a week.

Thursday I'll be with Teddy for 4 nights. With short stays, I don't take my paints unless I have something definite in mind and I can get right to it. The 'thinking about' what I want to paint is the hardest part, because I have 100's of ideas floating around in my head. Look how I can botch something up that sounds so damn easy. This is supposed to be how to sketch a cat. Mine have deformed chicken heads! So when I show you a final project, just know that it has gone through several stages!

I took Tony to his sleep study consultation and he took his test at home that night. Now we wait, but I'm already preparing him and teaching him about the machine. The Dr. was really good, wished I had a consultation. I think it really put Tony at ease, (not meaning it's going to be easy).

This is my one and only Portulaca survivor out of the million seeds I threw out there. Hopefully it will self sow and we'll have more. Big John finally opened up. I thought it would have bigger heads, but it's just like the others. Still a nice crop and I'm sure next year they will be out of control!


Look at my little Ozzy. It comes from Minifigs.me, which is based in the UK with a percentage of sales going to Parkinson's research. How could I not? He's only an inch tall so I taped him to the top of our TV and I hope he doesn't seem interesting to a certain cat who thinks he needs a new toy.

I read that the first time as “…I don’t take the my pants…” and wondered what was next.

It could happen some day; every trip I either forget something at home or leave something there.

Good luck to Ozzy! I hope Abe resists the temptation.

Live isn't always best

Image
A fairly new trend by some FB business pages is go 'live' with either a Q and A, news broadcast, or just to connect with fans. I've tried to watch a few but the video quality is poor. If a FB page has a regular TV show, I would just rather watch them there. I follow one of our news stations on FB and they started going live a few months ago. I don't know if it's the entire broadcast or just a small part of it. At first the notifications were annoying so I finally stopped them but twice a day along with their regular news updates, half of the screen is taken up by: KXLY is now live! I like the news team and watch them, but don't need it in stereo, and especially accompanied with a cheesy photo. It seems like news stations are in such competition that we've got it coming from all angles of social media. I would just rather watch the news on that good old fashioned thing called the Television.  Just give me the straight news without all the mu...

Still Her Advocate

Image
As a parent gets older, their children take on rolls to make things easier for them. Simple phone calls to complain about Mom's phone being down was so stressful to her, especially when it happens over and over. I would have to call her phone company several times a year and always had the same spiel, "No, I'm not going to unplug it and plug it back in, this is an ongoing problem and she uses a lifeline so she NEEDS her phone". Then they would send someone out on emergency status.  At her new home we'd have to step in to tell the owner and girls what Mom liked and how she liked things done. Yes she was particular but it would make their life so much easier if they did it her way. She had so many things taken away from her the day she moved in; just give her control over a few things. Just because she couldn't do everything for herself, she still wanted things done her way. Even after death I fought with her funeral home for an entire week.  She had a prepaid p...

Exploding Snails

Image
serves them right for eating something so gross in the first place These two idiots in California are suing the Seafood Peddler restaurant in San Rafael over an alleged incident of "exploding" escargot. Chadwick St.-OHarra and Steve Righetti were celebrating Righetti's birthday at the restaurant and they both ordered the escargot. As they dove into the little devils with their cocktail forks the snails squirt out hot garlic butter on both of their faces and polo shirts. St-OHarra cried that butter got into one of his tear ducts causing 'temporary vision impairment' and said he was genuinely outraged about the incident. Maybe he should have sued his mother for naming him Chadwick, a name like that is just asking for trouble. And have you ever been outside when a tiny little bug flies into your eye. It hurts like Hell, but you don't see me suing God do you? Like God should have warned me that little bugs can be hazardous to my eyes, causing 'tempora...
