Maybe a boring life and never anything to post? We didnt go to the Iola car show. Weather was...rain..or not? Hot an humid. I got free rewards at casino, 25 for me and 25 for friend. So Joe and I did that instead. Also 10 off food. Ate at the buffet, played our FREE play and came home with 20 something. So basically ate for free. Fun playing with THEIR money..sure not going to use ours! He called his brother up there..oh, nice day, not that hot and cloudy some and rain some. Asked another buddy of his the next day and he said not as bad as it can be. Uh huh. Translation... only 77 and humid and rained sometimes. And baked when sun came out. In other words, nice when compared to Hades which is the norm for that sun baked field of cars and vendors. The big Hudson rally was in the Dells so we did that instead. Visited with his buddy who has links to inventors and Hudson cars. Visited, looked and cars and avoided the sun! I owned a 53 Hornet back when. And was of a mind that bathtubs were Hudson. Now realize they started with Essixs and Hudson back in the 20s and build trucks and coupes and converts and a ton of styles. And then last night it rained finally. Poured I mean.So guess plants will survive now. We took my truck down road..he said brake stuck. So he pulled the pass front off, tighter than a drum! Got the caliper off, piston stuck..course was hot...oops. So ordered one for next am, got it on, down the road and look at it pull into the ditch.ARGH. Back apart..hose was plugged. Back into town for hose and after listening to Joe use every swear word known to man..it got on and now the truck goes straight as an arrow. Now cooler day, run into town to lumber yard. And life goes on.....

Make hay while the sun shines, eh? All too soon it will be winter and we will be stuck inside. Although with this blamed heat, we still are. Remember when we were waiting for June and school to be out. And we looked at MONTHS of summer. Now, we blink and one day it is May and a couple weeks later we are looking at Sept. All I can think is that we were really bored as kids and time dragged. Now we see the depot in the distance and realize our train is the high balling one. Companies wonder why they fail! I finally got an answer from Yahoo email. I cant send photos to my email cause they dont support my flip phone anymore. Another reply came in from someone..he has a different phone and cant either. Thinks it has to do with yahoo quitting messenger.Said he is not buying a smartphone just to send pics. I see the companies want to track us to death. I wrote back to yahoo and said fine...perhaps the answer then is to get a different email server. And yahoo has lot of issues competing now so maybe they better take a long hard look at why they are going down the tubes. I do surveys. And many want to know what you own, what you are buying and what you are going to buy. Mostly from cars to insurance to major appliances. Or a ton of household appliances or electronics. It really kills sellers that everyone is not dumping everything every year and replacing it. One day I see a frig that is junk in two years instead of 15. So far they just keep fancying them up and charging as much as a used car.

That explains why I cant send photos to Joes aol either. I tried to get on line late yesterday. HA! No server there, no server here, no server anywhere. Gee, guess the sheeples that crashed amazon prime were blindly obeying their masters companies and madly shopping for all those deals of stuff they dont need that will be cheaper another day. So internet ran out of band width to fill the needs of greed. I have ad block which this site hates. If I didnt, yahoo email would be buried. If I leave my puter on line all day,by night I see blocked 1000 ads. And spam is nuts. I started to block now. But what stinks is it blocks *****@ mexicanastroaut. But, not ^^^^^@mexicanastronaut. That is one commone @ I see. Also notifications@foxnews and then the scam Amazon, gift one. So until I find a way to block just the @ I will keep getting them. Yes...of course an old woman wants a Russian bride, nude pics of women or the blue pill! Hey idiots..check who you are sending to first!! I just cant believe how ancient scam robo calls net any suckers anymore. Isnt everyone wise to them by now. Guess what..never HAD a warranty on my car. My computer is too old for it to generate errors to India. You cant lower my interest rate on my card cause I dont have any balance. I didnt call you in regards to chronic pain. Nor need life line, windows, roofs...dont owe the IRS nor the utility. Altho, I check spam and did fall for one. Yahoo will turn off my email as requested unless you contact us in 24 hours. ARGH! Scam to link to more...SPAM! PS. Oath is a great name for them...and that is what we issue plenty of.

Yahoo keeps wanting me to upgrade. NO! I want email, not social media and FB! The other week it did it by itself. GRRRR! Had to go search how to get back to basic. What do these people think...my email account is a scrapbook? I like the stationary option and that is it. Dont wish to change colors, add whatever or jump elsewhere. Why cant companies figure it out.We are not all millennials! My boarder, Fuz and I went to the casino. We had each gotten cards that gave us 25 free play and 25 free for friend. Now my gambling method is wait for free. Then go and play and watch free go down and win add up. When free is gone, grab any win and run for it. He is 45 and a gamer. So I am done and sit watching him. And get a running babble about what does what. Pointing to screen. I am watching his cash drop. He put in a 100 and wasnt even on free play. And I sit. Finally I said,you treat the slot like a game. Guess what..I dont care what the game does when it gets whatever. I am bored. He got back up to over his 100...good, grab and run. Oh no..play more. sigh... In the whole time we spent, switched machines, he had 200 to lose he said. Ended up with free play and all, he came away with 150. He said he cleared 500 at another casino so was ahead. I like to see the pretty designs and laugh when some of the play does its thing. Walk around and look at graphics. IF I have free, put it in, play til gone and LEAVE!!! I prefer the bird in hand.

It poured all day yesterday and today and we have 100% chance of rain and storms every day until next Saturday. It is going to be a dark soaking week.

Everything here is flooding. We are supposed to get 12 inches of rain. Everything in Hershey is closed, the Interstates are closed in some places. There have been so many rescues because people don't listen and they try to drive through the flooded streets. So far the river is holding. And there is a bear running loose a few blocks from my house. I hope they find it and take it back to the mountains.

The news stations tell you about a bear running loose and then don't follow up. They never said if he was captured.

I own the land the only neighbors down past me use to get out to the main road. It's a gravel lane over against my fenceline. I don't use it. But since I own it,the silly people think i should pay to have more gravel put down.
Ummmm....excuse me? I LET you use it.for free. You are the only reason it's even there. And you think I'm gonna pay for its upkeep? Want me to buy you a new truck too? Maybe pay your electric bill for ya? Maybe I should fence it off. The only way they could get in or out is by helicopter.

One?
We don't get ours until 4:30 or 5. On Thursday sometimes it is 7 when the usual lady has her day off.
I do wish it was earlier.
If I have to go anywhere and have a package being delivered I don't like to leave because so many get stolen.

Our mail lady has off every Thursday and we never know who we will get that day. I hate Thursday because the other people leave my gate standing open and if my dog manages to get out the front door he would be right in the street.

Murpheys law is if you have mail to send out, mailman came early. If you are waiting for mail, he is late. Mine has gone around, 11am, 2 pm, 4pm, noon. Same route forever. But each mailman does it different. Or is faster or slower I guess. I am at that in between age now. Too youthful looking to play the poor, helpless, little old grandma. And too old looking to play the hey big boy..if you help me do that, you just might get lucky. sigh. So have to just hope for nice men who help anyone. Had it this week. Electric contracted tree trimmers. This year it is dead and dieing trees over lines or near. They said they would take down the huge 200 year old hackberry that part fell on line years ago and started a fire. I mentioned some live trees where they shouldnt be and they said oh we can cut them. We dont care..paid by the hour. Yippee! So they cut the second trunk on a split pine to try to stop the split. Cut a dead pine that kinda could hit the line. Cut two trees in my hedge that got away from me. And a hickory that did the same growing sideways into hedge. And another dead pine. And chipped branches into area next to my flower beds. Plus put on one super show! 70 foot bucket that has more joints then me! There is no way you would get me in it, much less leaning over with a 20 bar chainsaw cutting sideways on the top of a tree! Funny thing is they are thin men! One said they all are lean. Only major loggers are big and those eat 10k calories per day, mostly meat. I would think these should have shoulders like the hulk. Fair is on. Go tonight and check it out. No demo tho, wasnt worth it last year. Nor rides. I can be dizzy all on my own at this age. lol.

Why am I getting the feeling this is a private blog site for a few of us only? Went to the county fair yesterday. How sad it has become. Went through the whole thing in like an hour. And that included talking to a man about anyone selling a bottle lamb or pet ewe. Once the fair was so packed with neighbors, animals and rides. Now..I saw no one I knew and talked to no neighbors. Half or better of the pens were empty of animals. The small animal had 4 rows of rabbits, 3 of poultry and the baby animal was a small donkey, a calf, two lambs and a miniature horse and cage of 5 Silkies chickens. Half the rides were idle or running empty. I looked out at the demo car area and saw maybe 4 sitting there. Exhibits and vendors were few. Even the food vendors. I checked prices, nothing less than 4-5 to start and up to 8. So I gave it up and went to Culvers and had a nice 2 piece cod dinner for 10. I drove through town after 7 and hardly a person outside on a nice evening. So what do people do. Everyone plasters their face into some screen and hides in their caves? FB and Twitter are on the decline. Maybe due to issues. But, maybe people are becoming so reclusive they dont even want to communicate on social media. I like being a recluse. But, a nation of them allows the rich to control them.

FB is not in decline. I have never seen as many people post anywhere as on FB. People post on there every minute of the day. Log off and go right back on and you will see at least 5 new things within seconds.
There are too many threads that are alike and people don't post in all of them.
Besides that, not many people are posting at all and there are some I really miss.
People always post less in the summer and most people just want to come on, give an answer, and not come on to chat. Just as you only post in the threads that are more like a blog, the others posts in the games and other topics in GD where they can answer a question and leave and not write a story.
Every one is different.
