I just read a post by one of my favorite bloggers. This is an anniversary they don't like. Its the anniversary of having to make a decision to take her husbands first wife off of life support. She had an aneurysm. Now those of you who know me, know those things just get me crazy. I've known about aneurysms since I worked in the emergency room of a hospital. They're dreadful, sudden and tragic. Why do I know this? Because I also have a friend who died of an aneurysm. Wife came home, he was in his recliner where he was supposed to be watching Monday night football. I remember how godawful that was. I also don't know how to react when I hear, read something like this. I mean, I feel so damn guilty and I don't know what to say. My daughter says its a syndrome with a name that a lot of survivors have but.....what the hell do you do with it. The feelings, I mean. I feel so bad saying I'm sorry because I'm afraid the family won't want to even hear that from me. Why would they? Ick..........I am so grateful for the way my situation turned out but....I hate this feeling every time I hear of someone not so fortunate. For those of you who wonder why I feel this way....go here
There are times life is good, and there are times it sucks.........

IF YOU ASK ME, THREE VERY EXCELLENT DEPICTIONS OF COMFY FOR SURE!!!
Posted at 01:41 AM in CAMERA | Permalink | Comments (20)
Well, it's down the tubes. My three day weekend. It's a long story and I knew that taking today off would be iffy. Iffy's have it so I'm up and going to work. My biggest regret is that its 46 this morning and sleeping was sooooooo PERFECTO! Getting up was very very difficult. The little, not deep, puddles on my patio are frozen. Maxi and I would love to stay in the bed, nice and warm. Such is life.
Survivor. There ya go, folks. They sure weren't segregated very long were they? I'm seriously thinking that the initial segregation will make this a very interesting season as it moves along. I also like the way the chose the team members. I think that was just about as random as you can get when you're trying to make males/females equal on
both teams. Now. My thought was that Aitu would vote out CaoBoi since he sure wasn't much of a help in the competition. There are still too many people to develop and really good opinions but on Aitu, I like Yul and Becky. That's it so far. I'm not saying there aren't others likable. I just haven't found them yet...On the Raro team, I like Nathan and Brad. The rest of them are more likable that the other team. Like I said, its too early and too many people still. At least for me...BUT... Does Jessica not know what "Flicka" is? Has she never heard of "Flicka"? Honey, he's a horse...A beautiful horse, but still a horse....At least the horse Flicka is the only Flicka I've ever heard of and I'd sure hate the nickname if I was her. I suppose its related to that godawful hair she has but still. Flicka? I liked Flicka, I'm not sure how I feel about her!! If someone knows another origin of her being called Flicka, let me know ok? I'm thinking Yul might be sorry that he told Becky about the immunity idol. Just saying.
Off to work... See ya, and have a nice weekend. folks.

Not much happened since my pity party yesterday. I don't know that I cured it (current mood) or anything else. I do have TOMORROW OFF..yeah!!! band that may just plain cure me. or not. But..
I did watch TV. Yep. Jericho is still very good. I found myself getting antsy while they were trying to get safe before the rain. I don't know the name of the guy who's from St. Louis who seems to know everything about nuclear destruction etc. but the placing of the push pins at the end was absolutely eerie. I have no idea how in the heck they're going to make it a series, but for right now. It's pretty darned good.
I can't believe they send Harry Hamlin home on the dancing show. Damn. He's not my favorite by any means but I favor him over Willa and Springer and personally I thought they should send Mario home. Maybe they should have a rule that if you break the rules more than once/twice and then you're outta here. I'm afraid I'm old fashioned but if there's rules, they're there for a reason and you need to follow them. I really dislike anyone who thinks they're above the rules and he obviously thinks he is. And of course, by letting him break the rules twice we get the others doing the same. I'm thinking that it won't happen again. Joey and Mario were damn near last yesterday ...PS. I'm not an idiot folks. I do like watching Mario and Joey dance A whole lot...sexy, sexy, sexy..
I know my Cubbies suck. But the baseball playoffs start next week and I'm glad ...I like playoff baseball............
I'm off tomorrow...yep... me... another 3 day weekend. Think I need it?

I just read my daughters post. It makes me sad. For her and me too because I feel like maybe I let her down some way. Problem being...I don't have anything I'm known for either so..............there wasn't much I could teach her in that respect. She's brilliant. I didn't give her that...I KNOW that. I just feel bad that my daughter, who I think is perfect, a wonderful mother, and incredible woman and wife (I guess, looks like it). Who I have never seen or heard her do anything that I didn't think was what she should do....thinks she's not so hot. I don't see anything wrong with being known that you're a perfect mom but I also know how she feels....Ahhh womanhood...sometimes it can just kill ya..
Any way, my day sucked, I ended up in tears at work and if you knew me you'd know. I DON'T CRY. Not in public anyway and I sat at my desk and cried. I hate myself when I do that. Just one of those days. Some people can just get you in that shape and then you get madder and madder and then cry more. Geeze....
Bad evening. bad week. Hell, it may be a bad month..and that would be October..If it was September I'd think "heck, I can put up with anything for 2 days.."...Nopey, its October thats not setting up too good at all.........grrrrrrr

First...Hoss is back. Say's they sent him home early because he's such a good patient. You decide. Go say "hi" to him.
Tonight is a wonderful night in my book. Jericho and Criminal Minds. I know Lost and Dancing results are on but I could live with Jericho and Criminal Minds. Yep. I"m easy to please.
You know, I've decided that "Dancing with Stars" is just too long. 90 minutes starts to get annoying. But I stayed with it last night and I have a question or two. All the way up to Vivica and Joey the men were doing Tango and women were doing the Jive. Then, all of a sudden those two switched. I'm trying to figure out why. I think the dances were better for them the way they were done, but if you're in a competition, shouldn't you NOT have the easiest dance to make you look better? Just a question since what's his name isn't here to ask, I'm asking you.
Mario.....look at the rules and obey them. That's why they're there and you keep breaking them. I think you've really ticked off the judges and if the public keeps you on...they (the judges) may vote you so low you can't be saved by the votes. See, I'm old so he's not a TV hero to me. I don't know what show he was in so all I know is he's cute and can dance and unfortunately I'm one of those people who just gets annoyed as hell at people who intentionally break the rules.. Just saying.
At least Joey, who I also don't know from anywhere, apologized. He's got brains under that bald head. And oh yeah. The guy can dance.
I feel sorry for Willa Ford. Again, I have NO idea who she is and what makes her a "star" but she is trying but I want her to go next. Probably because I don't know who she is. If not here, then Harry who's getting on my nerves.
Everyone else was pretty great, at least I think. How about Sara Evans, I don't know her either and I live in Tennessee but she's getting better every week. Vivica was ok but didn't do much for me last night. Lets hope Jerry Springer gets to learn his waltz and then he can go home...
My favorite, Emmit, didn't do too good last night. I didn't see all of the scoring but his was pretty bad. I hope they don't send him home. Not saying its rigged, but I'm thinking that they sure don't want him to go home, not this early.
I'm babbling and now I have to go to work. There should be a law against having to work for a living..........Happy Hump Day folks...

You know, I realize how some people feel about the 185 million bucks spent on the Super Dome in New Orleans. There are times I feel the same way too but there was one quote last night from one of the "Saints"..."if they expect you to come back and re-build your house, why shouldn't we build ours". I don't know what they should have done but that football game last night did do so good. It sure reminded us that New Orleans isn't really ok. There's so much to be done but....at least occasionally they have a place to go to relax and enjoy themselves. I teared up a lot last night, watching all the pregame and some of the game. I know when I first turned back to it, the Saints had blocked a punt and scored and OMG the noise. So...some people resent it and some don't. I don't know how I feel about it but it was great to see them win last night. Especially since they beat the Falcons...
I'm having so much fun with Access. I'm at the point now, that I've got it doing everything I NEED for it to do so....right now I'm working on how the "quotes" look and putting in data. Having it available to me at my computer, where I know how to find it? Well...just plain great. I've missed it. From now on I'll work on getting a far better knowledge of the program and what it'll do. I love being self-taught. Mainly because I can and don't really need classes....Kinda like "I'll do it my way, you do it yours"....
Ok. I watched the Pilot to Studio 60 last night and I also watched "Heroes"...I loved Studio 60...I'm not kidding. I got half way through the show at 10 but do have it on tape so I can watch it probably Wed... or at least will before next Monday. I so was ready to not like that show. I don't know why but I was and I'm glad I gave it a chance. I hope it continues being that good.
Heroes...........Not so much. I'll give it another chance for the next episode but if it has some competition it may lose any chance at all. It didn't draw me like Studio 60 did but we'll see. Did anyone else watch? If so, let me know what you thought ok? I'd really like to see what other people feel about it.
Ok, enough of me this morning. Don't forget tonight. It most certainly a good night for TV. There's almost too much on tonight. Heroes is also on at 8 tonight. A rerun of the pilot in case you missed it..
Happy Tuesday folks

Sometimes a knife in the back hurts like hell and just ruins your whole day.....So I've been told.........mmmmm

What did I do this weekend? Besides of course ache all weekend from inventory? Yes, standing on my feet for hours, all day on Friday, which I'm not used to doing just about did me in. My old feet just don't like it at all. Mercifully we got done in one day and didn't have to work Saturday. but. I was about as beat as I've been in a awhile. Saturday I was thinking "not so bad". A bit sore and tired but I did everything I HAD to do..then came yesterday. Holy smokes, I had forgotten about the day after the day after aches. So I was worth just about nothing yesterday.
Of course, it poured ALL WEEKEND. I mean almost every minute. If it wasn't pouring it was puddled everywhere. It was just one of those "couch" weekends. Just about every minute.........And then my daughter runs a 5K....How wonderful is that.? I am so proud of her..
Ok, I have to say a few things to my sporting teams this weekend..Bear with me..1.) Titans suck. That's all and I'm sorry,. 2.) Giants...what the hell was that? You really need to start playing BEFORE the 4th quarter. 3.) Go Vols..Phil can keep his job.,. 4.) Ryder Cup...PFFFFFT..5.) I hate the Patriots. Let me down..off the suicide sheet. Thanks pretty boy. 6.) Poor Chris Simms. Glad he's ok. Losing spleen playing football. Go figure.
Have a good day folks.. It's NOT raining. whoopie.....

Good God it poured yesterday. Poor Maxi, he just flat will not go out in the rain...that is unless I go with him. I can tie him up but I have to be out there. And no, I do not spoil that dog..what? are you nuts. I had to change clothes every time he went out, and believe me ..he didn't ask to go out, I had to make him. Once he nearly didn't make it to the grass he had to whiz so darned bad. Oh yeah, I did take umbrellas with we folks, really
For those of you who know about UT football, the team didn't go onto the field by running through the "T" last night for the first time its ever not been done since the 60's..He had a hard time with the "GO OUT NOW, ITS NOT RAINING" concept. My pampas grass came out of the ground. When I went to bed we'd had 5 inches and it was still raining...The sun was out for a while this morning but its supposed to be rainy etc today. Just not near as bad as yesterday.
I need to call the landlord and tell him to fix my dripping living room window. Anyone want to bet on whether he'll fix it before the fence (which was damaged during a tornado warning in 2003) or after....
Football today. mmmm. I'm pulling for the Patriots on my "suicide football" sheet. There aren't any sure things this weekend that I haven't picked already. Oakland is off so I can't pick whoever is playing them.
I'm pulling like hell for the Titans (which is a waste of time, I know) and the Giants. I love Eli Manning and so want him to go to the Super Bowl and win the damn thing. Long before his brother does. Did you know, that he's the only one of the Mannings who has ever thrown a game winning touchdown in over time. Not even his dad has done that...
One more thing: I've made another location for TV shows. We'll see if anyone reads it. I can post there and not give away the spoiler stuff on this site. Some people tape it and I'd rather not ruin it. Its link is over there in the right hand column right under tonight's TV shows called "Just TV"....Feel free to go there but there's only one post about TV but like I said, its a testing.....Zoot gave me the idea but mine's not nearly as good as hers it.. Its just there..
Speaking of Zoot.....Anyone heard from her? She ran a 5K yesterday and well.......I haven't heard a peep out of her. She's with her Dad so I know she's ok but..........just the Mom in me.........Happy Football................Go Vols!!!!

Survivor. Oh yes, I watched it and now I may be confused. Well more confused. On the Raro team I don't much like Adam. Jonothan coming back and finding no work done. I thought he was smart for not "blowing up" especially when Adam said he wanted to conserve energy and not work. He was asking everyone why they needed a raised platform to sleep on ...Here's my answer. So maybe, every one of those damned animals walking all over the island don't join me. At least there's a better chance. Did you see that? There's things walking on that island that look like aliens. I would hate animals in my bed.. The only animal allowed in my bed is Maxi and (well, right now) that's it. idiots.
Hiki team...They may have been right sending Sekou off. I think its fantastic that they got fire going and Nathan didn't do it.. Of course, it might have started easier had they used a huge pile of "kindling" stuff. Has none of those people ever started a fire in their lives? I was yelling at the TV.. "Get more of that stuff dopes..".I think I like that tribe best...But of course last week I liked Adam and didn't like Jonothan and its changed this week....just saying..
BUT. My favorite player (to date) is Yul. I'm not sure what it is but I've found myself really liking him and his tribe( Puka). The only one I don't like much on this one is Cao Boi. He's easily getting on my last nerve, I'd hate to be hungry, stranded etc and have to put up with him. I think he needs to just shut up. If he doesn't he may join Sekou and Billy. And finding the Idol puts Yul and a huge advantage...whooo
I really really, don't like trust Ozzy. I don't like the way they got Billy out, even though I think he needed to go. If I was a member of that tribe I'd be nervous about Ozzy and what he might do. He was so damned obviously throwing the competition. He may be right about Christina. Ozzy may target her next. She may have to start pretending that she likes Ozzy. One thing she did right was to vote Billy out. At least, as far as Ozzy is concerned, she stuck with him. We'll see.
Ok, thats it and I'd love to hear what everyone has to say about the show up to now.
I don't want to work today everyone. Just don't .. We're in inventory today and through the weekend until we get done. Now, the good thing is its not between Christmas and New Years ever again. That is good considering it was always a hitch in our holiday plans and it was colder than......................at Christmas. Everyone is wanting to work late tonight so we don't have to work all weekend which does mean I'll have to come home for lunch and let Maxi out. I can not ask him to hold it from 7 am to 8-9 pm. That's just too much no matter how good he is.. Oh yeah, and its not freezing. So off I go. Have a great Friday everyone.. Pretty isn't he?

I dreamed all night about the below post!!! I conquered the world with my data base!!
Last night...I watched Jericho first, and I really really liked it. I know its one episode and it could totally go down hill, but for the first show it was good. I will leave that one on my TIVO for sure.
Of course I then watched Criminal Minds and it was fantastic. Of course it always is so this was no shocker. They let Elle live. She's the one character I don't particularly like, so if they had killed her off it wouldn't have been too disappointing to me. Wednesdays may end up being pretty darned good nights
I tried Kidnapped and couldn't get into it. I think I've got it taped but I really can't see me watching it. Justice is on TIVO and that is good...
Its 46 degrees here this morning and it's loverly....Have a great day everyone. Happy Thursday and don't forget TONIGHT IS SURVIVOR...!!!!

Yep...I've only been working on it for over a damn year. Of course, I didn't take any courses...I had to learn it from books and only when I had time at work. What you ask? Did you forget? Well.
When our company (little) got bought out by another (big) company they decided that the way we did things wasn't right. They told us we didn't need our data base that my coworker and I used for everything but prayers and if we wanted another one we would have to learn Microsoft Access 'cause we weren't using Alpha 4 any more and they took our computers and all the stuff on it. Or most of it anyway....For sure our data base. Now, I'm totally book taught on computers. Haven't taken a class in my life and, lets face it folks, when I was in school there weren't computers. at least not in school. I mean if you want to put in data you had to punch out cards etc. You should have seen my ex's term papers....OMG the cards....
Ok. so I started working on learning Access. Knowing data bases, i.e. A4 and having been self taught on that one made at least understanding the damn thing a bit easier. But easy is not a word used in Access I don't care what anyone says. BUT I DID IT. I printed only one quote today.. Just one. I could get it to print every quote ever done but couldn't figure out how to narrow it down to one quote. DID IT TODAY....WHOOOOO....
Yes, there's room for improvement but for now, this one evening I'M A STINKING GENIUS. I know the beginnings of Microsoft Access and I'm only going to get better....Put that in your pipe and smoke it all you doubters.. whooooooooo......Live is good.....just good..

Its beautiful here again. It's 56 outside, even if the weather people said it would be 48 this morning and its lovely. There is absolutely NO haze over the Smokies making my drive home rather pleasant. The view is great. I know, every year I go on about how much I love fall and I'm probably going to do that this year too so...brace yourselves for total weather boredom.
Did you watch "Dancing" last night? Of course I did and was so thrilled to see Emmitt do so well again. Sara Evans was great too, and I really didn't like what she did last week. I think for sure she's good for a little more time. I've not seen most of these people before in my life. What a hoot. Anyhow, I wasn't terribly fond of either blond but the rest of them, I pretty much like and want to see win. Question...Do you really think Jerry Springer is THAT meek, humble etc?
Jericho premiers tonight. I'm pretty excited about that one. I don't see how it can last very long but we'll see. Of course at 9 pm comes "Criminal Minds". My world stops for "Criminal Minds". I love that show and the finale was a two part and tonight is part two...I can not wait.
$299.00 for a baseball autographed by Pete Rose "I'm sorry I bet on baseball"....Grab 'em while they're hot!!
I need advice today folks. Which football team do I pick to win a game this weekend? Oakland is off this weekend so there goes the sure bet. The only games that I see with an option are Chicago/Minnesota, Washington?Houston, Denver/New England. I suppose there could be one in the AFC...Indy/Jacksonville but Peyton has always had trouble with Jacksonville and after Sunday night, I see no reason to think it won't happen again this year.
So, give me your opinion because I'm having a fit trying to decide...

Spinach anyone? I just heard on the news that the girl had gone to get her hair cut and there was a guy in there who didn't know anything about it and actually had a bag of spinach in the refrigerator and had eaten some yesterday. Wonder how life is in that cave he lives in............Mercifully, I only like spinach cooked so I can eat it but....I'm thinking I'll forgo spinach for a while. They were saying on the news that some of the stores pulled all spinach...Canned..Frozen..everything just to be safe. Can't blame them. If anyone got sick they'd sue...
Its going to be 48 degrees here in the morning...How I love Fall...whooo..
Tonight is a very busy night for Tivo's everywhere. We've got Dancing With the Stars...I mean, you have to watch Emmitt Smith. What a hoot. He can really dance and looks like he's having a ball!! The problems with the timing is NCIS and House are also on. My Cable recorder box will only record two at a time and I have to watch one of them.... The show Standoff is on at 9. Now, I've discovered I like that show. I've only seen two episodes (that may be all that's been on) but so far so good. I don't know how long that'll last though. There really isn't anything else on at 9 once "Dancing w/Stars" goes off. I'm taping it (Standoff) for dry spells. That show "Smith" is on at 10. I'll tape it and watch it later but I don't think I'll like this one. Just from the previews, but I'll give it a chance. (Which I'm sure will give their exec's a thrill)...
Ok. That's all for this morning. Have a great Tuesday folks...

Did you like it as much as I did? Of course its still got too many people for me, but this is always a problem in the beginning of these shows. BUT. I have a picture of all of the couples with their names...AHA....Same w/ Survivor so I'm a bit better at it now.
What did you think about that first stop? When the send the guys from Cleveland home 45 mins into the show I nearly flipped. I guess that's to keep them all from playing to not lose or something. It was so unexpected. I liked those two guys too. I also liked Vipul and Arti.. I liked them a whole lot and didn't like them having to go home either.
There are some couples that I really like, The daughter and father, the Cho Brothers, I think I like the Kentucky wife but I'm reserving judgment on her hubby. Not fond of him at all. . I also like the beauties, and the cheerleaders so far. They don't seem so snobby like some that are on do. Here's who I have doubt about. Peter and Sarah annoy me. Its kinda like, she's going to use her prosthesis as an excuse for special treatment and will also tell everyone that she can do everything and as good as them. I think she needs to just hush and do it...I never do like the "dating couple" trying to see if it'll work out. And this one is no exception. I don't give them much of a chance at all. Holding out on the drug recovering models and the single moms...The most obnoxious two so far are the token gay couple. Couldn't they have found some nicer guys?
Did you watch? What do you think?
After NFL yesterday, let me just say......Titans "good god". Leave Young in, he can NOT be any worse than Kerry Collins...He just can't. Congratulations to the New York Giants. That was one hell of a football game and one hell of a comeback....Way to go Eli..
This week there are a lot of premiers so make sure you set your TIVO's etc. I've found two that I like that I wasn't sure if I would. I like Standoff, and Justice. Especially Justice. Nothing has bumped off Criminal Minds from the number 1 slot yet but they're both good..
Have a great Monday folks.....I'm still dancin....

Mercifully I noticed the Titans are the early games the rest of the season.. At least then there will be another choice to watch. Right now, its the only game in town and they're losing 20-0.................grrrrr.
I ended up watching "Justice", which I had on TIVO and was thinking of deleting it before watching. My daughter suggested I give it a try and you know what....you should give it a try. Even if you have to tape it and watch it some other time. I'll have to do that because its opposite "Criminal Minds" and that's my first show that MUST be watched. But, give it a try. I really enjoyed it..

We didn't even make a down rushing the football..............We had negative yards rushing....and we only lost by 1 point. run, run, pass....run, run, pass. It didn't take Florida long to figure that out. grrrrrr...Florida is a very good team, and I don't think the Vols are..
That's all.....run, run, pass....run, run, pass...

Ok so here I am with Comcasts version of Tivo on my downstairs TV. They want 20 more bucks a month for one on the upstairs tv...That's not going to happen so I pulled out the old VCR and figured if I really wanted something else recorded I'd just tape it. Can someone tell me what's making the VCR have no volume. I know its something easy, but I can't remember what it is that does that...So it can record anything but....If I want to hear what's going on.......................not so much..
So if anyone knows what I need to do to overcome that slight deficiency I'd be so grateful.
Oh yeah... Here's Maxi last night, with hair
Posted at 02:27 PM in CONFUSION | Permalink | Comments (3)
So.. I call her this morning to ask what size of onsie should I get Nikki. Did she want a big one or the right size...so she told me 12 mos and said they were sick. I hate to hear it when she's sick. So anyway, I get the onsie etc finish some shopping and go to the Food City right before I get home. My cell rings and this voice, which sounds just like Zoots, tells me she's call from Target and then I couldn't understand her. So I'm thinkin Zoot's playing with me. You know teasing so I'm just about to come out with something just plain unmotherly when something the voice said made me stop. What she said was "I found this phone and I"m calling from Target".......OMG. My poor little girl is sick today and I know she's really sick when she leaves her phone at Target. So I called her at home and I don't think she liked being told that. I wish I lived there so I could help when she doesn't feel good. My baby...........
They just called and Maxi is ready at the groomers. I must go get the little bald dude....This is very good because I keep talking to him..........

How'd you like Survivor? I did, at least so far. I'm also thinking they may keep these teams separate for a while. I can't remember how long they were separated in the last "running" of the show. I was very glad to see Sekou go. I could see him causing all kinds of trouble if he stayed and I didn't much like him either. Especially when he took a break when they were trying to get fire going. eek. Now, Nathan has to show them how "indispensable" he is or he's just plain next. How about Brad's headache cure? I'll tell you this...Anyone who has a bad (i.e. migraine) headache would put up with that mark if it actually took the headache away....Especially without a bunch of drugs that wear you out....I liked the show so far. I haven't fallen in "love" with any contestants yet and they sent home the one I don't particularly like so.............Hurry up next Thursday night...
I think I'm going to watch "Men in Trees" tonight. I saw a little bit of it the other night and it looked like it might be good/interesting.. And lets face it...There just isn't much on on Friday nights.
It is now 57 degrees again. I love this stuff. I just saw the extended forecast and 82 is the highest in the next week and that stops this weekend...and we just see 70's....How great is that!!!.
I needed gas in my car yesterday. I really didn't want to get it yet because I wanted the price to drop some more but...what the hey. It was 2.46 a gallon where I usually get it. I didn't fill up though, in my madness I decided to only get 1/2 tank and see what happens to the price. I use Shell gas. So here I go, put in gas and head home. I'm at the red light by my house, right by a small convenient market........$2.26 gal...........grrrr.. this dropping gas prices is so perfecto....I can imagine how wonderful it is for SUV drivers etc. Mine is a little Saturn....
Tennessee plays the Gators this weekend. This is the week that its alway played and Vol fans know the football season doesn't really start mattering until the Florida game. The worst part is the game doesn't start until 8 tomorrow night...grrrr. I will be a wreck by then. GO Vols....whooooo. I'm thinking there are a lot of games this weekend that involve teams ranked in the top 25. We'll see how it lands.........
Today is also my brothers birthday. Why do I always remember his birthday. It's also the day my roommate died in 1998. Just for the record....I really hate the month of September. So much bad, with the exception of my brothers birth of course, happens in September. At least in my life and this day always gets me down some. I guarantee you roomie is getting the angels ready for the game tomorrow night. You just had to know her...Believe me, she's doing just that!!! I miss her.
Have a nice day and a nice weekend folks...

WHOOOO....Tonight is "Survivor" ...I can not wait. Of course, I always dislike the first episode...well, not dislike just try to get it sorted out so to speak but I can not wait until it starts.........Thursday is now a great night again...
I did watch the Dancing with Stars episode last night where they decide who needs to go home. Poor Tucker. I was really hoping they'd keep him a little while longer. But, bless his heart, he doesn't need to give up his day job, ever, for dancing. He really, really can't dance and I don't think time would help. Poor Tucker..Jerry Springer, who I have never watched on TV, is actually funny!! He can't dance worth a lick either but he's really funny...He had already checked out of his hotel room last night and they didn't cut him....What a hoot. Vivica Fox needs to NEVER, EVER, wear her hair like that again.....EVER....NEVER.....Its just plain ugly on her and she is NOT ugly.
Criminal Minds last night was part one of a part two that was the final episode last season. I had forgotten how it ended because I was so mad that they did it that way..So.next week I have to remember to at least TIVO the season premier to see the end of it.
I know, to "House" lovers this may be a sacrilege but.. I don't think I'm going to like it this season. If he goes back on the drugs etc, for some reason, that story line annoys me. Now, let me say this. I didn't watch the second episode and my TIVO thingy didn't tape it so I'll have to wait another episode or two, but House was getting on my nerves last year at the end so.........................just saying.
Let me just pass on a wish to the SOB in the red truck who was near me yesterday morning. You know who you are. You're the one who cut me off to get in ahead of me, after tailing me all the way down the pike. Here's my question. Didn't you see the reason I was NOT going faster was because of the car in front of me....You drove like a maniac, nearly wrecked 2-3 of us and the last time I saw you you were sitting at the same red lite I was turning at. All of that did you a lot of good didn't it assho*e fool. One day.....................................................just saying
T.G.I.T................... (57 degrees here this morning!!!)

ITS OVER!!!!!! I had to scream that. I barely watched it because I didn't care. I don't like either Boogie or Erica but of the two, I think I'd rather have had Erica win. Mike is such a scum...grrrr. Glad Janelle won the 25,000 dollars. That is good.
Dancing with Stars....whooo. I love it but on it the ones I love the best are...Emmott Smith, Lorenzo (holy sh*t what about those hips!!!), and as pitiful as he is Tucker...oh yeah, and the bald dude. The one who danced first. I've nicknamed him "Blossom" since that's the show he was on. You know, I thought Jerry Springer wasn't so bad, but the judges sure did hate him and, if it comes down between him and Tucker. I'm for Tucker...Emmott sure can dance for a football player, can't he..
BTW. Football moves. I picked Baltimore Ravens to win this week. They're playing Oakland. I hope its a good pick 'cause I only have one team. I also, in Fantasy Football, dumped Chris Sims. The little twerp got me NEGATIVE points last Sunday...geeze. I LOVE football season...and I love fantasy football. Just saying...Do you know, I was doing FF back before there were computers. The stats were faxed to you every week and you did the scoring...Not only was I playing,,,,I was commissioner...Geeze its easy now..
Have a great day everyone..........

I couldn't get to sleep last night...Tossed and turned. I watched too much TV yesterday and cried most of it....This was a strange entire day. Worst than the last 4 9/11's and I don't know why...........just saying
Did you watch any football last night? I put it on the TV to fall asleep to it but damn if the game wasn't tied...I do like Monday night football on earlier. I hope they keep it that way. As far a football....The Titans stink....Just in case you were wondering what I thought. They stink. They only got back in the game because the Jets let them. I'm happy for Chad Pennington. He's from this area (Clinton, TN) and I've always pulled for him except when he plays the Titans. I am thrilled for him, especially if his shoulder stays as healthy as it seems to be right now..
I'm also on a football suicide board. You know, you pick a team to win. As long as you're right you stay in. If you pick one that loses....you're gone. SO.....who do I pick this week folks? Any ideas..? Oh, by the way, once you pick a team.....That's the last time you can pick that team. Week one, I picked the Eagles so I can't use them again....Any advice,? I have to turn it in tomorrow.
Is this particular news story just a bit odd? Of course almost everything about her is odd.....
I'm off....to work....dragging....Let me just say one thing about yesterday. When it happened I was very glad GW was our president.....Right now, everytime I hear of a death of a soldier or hear that Bin Laden is STILL alive...............I wish he had lost four years ago... (I cleaned that up people, really)

I'm going to leave the tribute to Artie up first all day. I want anyone who happens to stumble on my site to see the tribute to him.
This day..It was awful, and the memory still is. I remember darned near every single minute of that day. I remember when sports talk radio guy Andrew said "Hey look, a plane has crashed into the World Trade Center"......That started it. then a little bit later he said "you know, this looks bad...really bad". I still didn't put a lot of stock into it until my boss buzzed me and asked "Did you know about the plane crashing into the Towers? Well, a second one has".....Now THAT got all of our attention..We all put our radios on "news" radio.
It was about 10 am that I decided to go home (live very close to work) and get my little TV....We watched all day. The phones stopped ringing pretty much, we didn't have cable. I do remember the best reception we could get was Peter Jennings. He wasn't anyone's favorite.
It was awful....Just awful.. but you know that. we all know that. Life is now different. It will never be the same. Today we remember all the people who lost their lives that day and pray for their families. That's all we can do...

I joined this memorial for the victims of September 11th. I drew Arthur T. Barry, a fireman who died in the twin towers on that dreadful day. I didn't know him. But I've read what I could about him and have decided I would have really, really liked him. He's safe now. In the best care you could hope for but just so we don't forget here's a bit about him so you too can know him.
I found this written about him:
10,000 Miles by Motorcycle
Arthur T. Barry had an irrepressible joie de vivre.
Last year, he drove his motorcycle on a 10,000- mile trip diagonally through Canada to Fairbanks, Alaska, and returned traveling across the country.
That was just one example. Mr. Barry, 35, a lifelong resident of Westerleigh, in Staten Island, spent his youth zipping across the country on road trips, said his mother, Audriene Barry.
Mr. Barry's zest for life was apparent in his work, she said. He was in the business of saving lives as a New York City firefighter for the last seven years. Before becoming a firefighter, he had worked as an elevator mechanic and a machine-tool technician. He was a member of Ladder Company 15 near the South Street Seaport, and his colleagues frequently relied on him to repair elevators during high-rise fires. "He truly loved the Fire Department," Mrs. Barry said.
Firefighting was in his blood. His father, Bertrand, retired as a fireboat pilot after 20 years on the job, Mrs. Barry said. For a time, Bertrand Barry patrolled the waters of New York Harbor in the shadow of the World Trade Center.Profile published in THE NEW YORK TIMES on November 21, 2001.
I've put a link here where you can read the tributes to Arthur from his friends, people that care and strangers who wanted to leave a message. You can learn quite a bit about Arthur by reading these too.. There just isn't anything else to say about that day and what happened. Not today..today we remember..

VOLS WON..... Giving birth was easier..............31-30

I'm miserable. Absolutely miserable. Excuse me, in case you were wondering. I'm miserable. I have no doubt that its directly related to the change of seasons, allergies etc but.........It doesn't matter, I'm miserable. grrrrrrr.
I had the most wonderful Friday night in ever....well, a very long time. I'm at work yesterday and my SIL called me. Now, that blew my socks off because I don't think she's ever called me. They live a couple of hours away so visiting is not easy. She and my brother have 3 children. A set of twins, both freshman at UT and a younger son. They were on the way into town to visit with the twins for the first time since school started and they invited me to join them for dinner. It was great. I hadn't had an opportunity to sit down and just visit with them in a while. Don't get silly on me folks, I was home at 7:30 and in bed by 10 so you can't say I partied..but I did enjoy myself so much. I'm so happy that my nephews are here in town, too. They're both great and knowing that I have family here in town even though they're busy etc...well, it just feels good. I keep telling them I'll have them over for dinner and I will, soon. too. I'd like to think it gives their parents a little relief knowing that there's a family member here in town that they can call anytime they need to.
Anyhow...that's all. I didn't prepare for the Scavenger photo today and I can't find anything in my collections for food so I guess I'll have to pass this week. I'm going to the couch and probably stay there..............forever...........
GO VOLS. GO KASEY.....Happy Saturday

Oh yeah....its Friday. Thank god, God, and everyone else. I know, I had a four day work week, but I swear its been a six day week at work. My co-worker's little girl fell off the monkey bars at school and broke her arm in two places on Wed. She had to have surgery and is still in the hospital. Needless to say Mom is with her baby who, according to Mom, is on Morphine ....whooo. Anyway, she's fine, I don't know about Mom, but Kindergartner was doing fine the last time I talked to Mom. Oh yeah, just to make it worse, the bone came through the skin when she broke it...ughhhhhhhhhh.
Did you watch BB last night? I'm done, I don't care who wins now. I hate equally Erica and Mike so...............I'm not sure what show premiers on Tuesday but I'm pretty sure I"ll be watching it or House.......
I did watch the House premier Wed night. I wasn't terribly thrilled with it and if he ends up addicted to Codeine again it'll just annoy the hell out of me. Maybe I don't know how to handle House healthy........and maybe the TV people don't either. I read that they had to cure his "limp" because it was killing his back..walking like that.
I also watched the first episode of "Standoff"...That wasn't too bad either. I hate to say it was good because most first episodes are but it made me want to see another one so I guess that's a good thing. I have "Justice" on tivo but haven't watched it yet. Has anyone watched.? Let me know what you thought of it..
UT plays tomorrow night at 7 but its not on TV. Well, its on Pay for view....for $30.00 or so...........Sorry, that's why god made the radio...which, by the way is what I listen to when the game is on TV.
The Titans play on Sunday...... Enough said, I'll be praying to the football gods for them this year...heavily
Steelers won last night......Congrats Steelers, if Batch keeps it up Big Ben can recover nicely without worrying..
Just for the record. I hate September and will be in a much better mood on October 1st..
See ya..............

AAAAHHHHHH.....Do you think anyone on this earth spent hard earned money on that godawful dress Janelle had on!!!........Where in the Sam Hill did they find it? They had to have stolen it from Dorothy when Toto wasn't looking............UGLY.....She's too darned attractive to wear that EVER AGAIN.....More in the morning......Ugly dress Janelle...really

It's the start of football season...Tonight...first game......Miami and Steelers...NBC...Yay football.
BTW. Before I forget, remember the Hamburger commercial I was complaining about the other day? The one I thought was Burger Kind and I'd never eat that burger... Well, I'll still never eat that damn burger but I'll have to avoid Dairy Queen and not Burger King to NOT ever eat it. This is good...There is a Burger King down the street from where I work....I have no idea where a Dairy Queen is to even avoid it..
Did you watch Katie the other night.. It'll sure be interesting to see how those ratings hold up. I mean, didn't you think just about anyone that watches the nightly news, or people like me who watch Keith Olberman, would turn it on out of curiosity? They're acting like she conquered the world. Lets see how many are still watching next week. I thought she was fine but I'll still watch Olberman for my news...........such is life.
Don't forget BB tonight. It's getting so close to the end. I feel like since I've invested all summer into it that I'd better at least pay attention to it.......Go Janelle.. Seriously, if she goes home tonight........I'll not care who wins.
It's beautiful here folks.............Happy Thursday and Happy first day of NFL season!!!!!

Ok, did you watch? I was so confused after it was over (I didn't understand the Richard Hatch comment) that I called Zoot. She pretty much had it but I wasn't sure. Then I read Jackie's site and there it was. Richard Hatch was the winner of the first Survivor and the 2nd place person took him to the finals because she thought she could beat him. That no one liked him at all...It backfired and Richard Hatch won. That's what Boogie was referring to. I don't know if I trust Erica to take Janelle but I sure don't trust Boogie. Janelle is between a rock and a hard spot..dammnit.
Wasn't it a hoot when Janie booted Will.. By a hoot I mean..the look on Boogies's face from that point on.... He looked like god had let him down. His whole world fell apart..I hope they beat him in round two. If he really thinks that they have to take him, I guess he won't have to compete in round two either...That will be interesting. I don't particularly want to wait until NEXT DAMN Tuesday to see the finale....I wish they'd just take care of it Thursday...Actually Boogie looked a bit scarier than Danielle did. BTW. Didn't Danielle look fantastic last night? She's so pretty when she dresses up. Howie is an A$$ hole.....There's no other explanation. He did more damage to himself last night than anyone else could do. Just wait until Will get there...and one more thing...Wasn't Erica's goodbye great!!. His remark about underestimating Erica was so true...
Ok. That all on BB. except I'll be CBS would like to take that Volcano and hurt Janelle with it.......What a waste
BTW. The Cubs took all season but they've finally ended up in LAST place in their division....Thanks Cubs.
BTW. Tennesse Vols are up to 11th....YAY!!!
Have a great day everyone....

Damn...I was getting used to those 4 day weekends...This does end all of them for a while...I have got to buy a lottery ticket so I can become used to living like this...I could stand working 3 days a week and off 4...I will say this tho'. Maxi looks like he's thrilled that I'm finally leaving so he can sleep all day...
Today....is day one of NFL week...Once all forms of football are in action, I will then be a happy camper....Also...its time for some TV premiers...Tonight is "House". I love House and of course, will have to take it. Mercifully BB is ending this week but until then anything on at 8 pm will be taped. I watched that show "Vanished" gave it two episodes and decided I really didn't like it. I KNOW House is good so....
Ok, I'm boring my own self. Have a great day. Its pouring like crazy right now. Pray for it to stop ok? I don't have a/c to keep the fog off the windows dammit..........Later...

The crocodile hunter Steve Irwin is dead. 44 yrs old. Evidently a Stingray Barb went straight through his heart. Just an assumption on my part but he probably died doing what he loves.......He seemed to love his job so much always so happy. . I feel bad for his family. RIP Steve

It's pouring here...That's ok though, I feel like sleeping all day anyway...Did you watch BB last night? I tell you what I'm worried about Erica...I'm worried for her if she doesn't win..and do you really believe her attitude towards Boogie. She's wanting to have his baby?...sh*t.....She's nuts. At least Janelle seems to have some brains. And if she's really smart she'd bump Will right out of there.
Remember the QB for the Steelers who had the motorcycle accident a few months ago? Well, his appendix had to be taken out yesterday and one of the headlines on TV this morning asked if it could have been caused by the motorcycle accident........... nuff said..
Ok..off for the day. If anything happens exciting, I'll fill you in. Otherwise I hope the weather is nice where you are..

I used to think I could cook. I used to love to cook. I actually still love to cook but it gets silly to overdo it for one person...But today, I decided to make a pot of spaghetti and I'd have left overs for lunch ...................it is the worst crap I've ever eaten ever....ever...I threw it away.....I have no idea what I did, and that's scary, but it was awful....damn....Happy Labor Day folks. I'll not be eating spaghetti leftovers any time soon!!

Happy Sunday. Day three of my second four day weekend in a row. What a night last night. Last season for Volunteer fans sucked so bad, and a good deal of us expected to lose last night..Or at least nearly lose. No one expected what happened on that football field last night. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not sending us to Phoenix just yet but it sure does make it easy to look forward to the football season.
Who the hell decided to run the Nascar race at 8pm tonight? What idiot. I stayed up past my bedtime last night watching the football game and I'm going to have to take a nap to watch the race. grrr.
BB is on tonight. For some reason I'm not looking forward to it any more. Maybe it really isn't that good, its just something to watch during the summer...Just saying. Anyhow, I know who won HOH, and I know who won POV. That might have something to do with it.
I saw my nephew on TV last night. I actually wasn't sure it was him until I got an email from him this morning telling me where he was sitting and by gosh I think I did see him. He's not from here and this was his first UT football game...Thank god we won.
Its beautiful here today. Maxi and I may take a little trip somewhere. I'm seriously hoping that the hot weather doesn't come back. These 60 deg. mornings are fantastic..There's a big fireworks show tonight too. I'm going to try to get some great pictures if I can figure out my camera..
Have a great day folks and if you're hungry I've got spaghetti on the stove..........Bring the wine.......
Hi son..

Nope, I'm not at work...Another four day weekend to celebrate Labor Day...Vols football....the start of fall...Its just plain my favorite time of year. Always was, always will be..
BB...What a bunch of damn dumb women. The only chance either one of them have is to go against each other not Will or Boogie. I was really pulling for George though. Despite his godawful costume. I don't know what/who I want to win now. I guess I want either Will or Janelle (who is really stupid). I really don't want Boogie to win and I can stand Erika either....I know who won HOH for Sunday. Its not making me happy either...
TV Commercial. The last time I bitched about a TV commercial was the Quizno's baby. I hated those but now....There is one that's worse, and annoys me more that just about anything....Its the new Burger King commercial about some special burger that "makes a man out of you", For some reason, after seeing that commercial I would die of hunger before I'd eat that burger. About the only thing that commercial accomplishes is, IMHO, is that only men will eat those damn burgers. I know this, I'd never eat one...Not ever...
One of the reasons the "talking radio heads" said UT might with the football game tomorrow is....weather. Its hot, humid and miserable this time of year and the Cal guys aren't used to it..........BULLETIN. Its going to be in the low 80's and supposedly not so humid....... bad news...
Have a great day guys..........I'm going to enjoy my day off..
