Up and Down

Donna — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 18:13:20 +0000

Gas prices just drive me crazy. It’s hard to believe that on Christmas Day the price of gas finally hit under the $3 mark, $2.99 to be exact, while today it has risen to $3.49 a gallon. That is a 50 cent increase in just over a month. I hear that we could be seeing prices above the $4 a gallon mark come summer, sigh…..

What really bites is that the gas station that had gas for $2.99 was closed on Christmas day so I didn’t even get to buy any.

Go figure.

Country Scene

This photo was taken in Springfield at the home of a man and his wife that asked me to help them sell their property and their business. The man is called Popeye by everyone in town, where they have lived all their lives. They are moving to a new home being custom built for them on the same property but farther down the state road from their home and business. It is a beautiful farm and country property. I wish I could find the rest of the photos I took while there to share with you. I’ll keep looking.

Morning Routine

Guest post from: Denver Stephens

I googled Cable TV Advisor because I need to get tv for my morning routine! My routine usually entails waking up at least 15 minutes later than I was supposed. Then, turning on the Today show for background as I get ready. I was kind of surprised Meredith didn’t last very long. I mean, I know she was there for years, but compared to a lot of the others, it was brief in comparison. Would the Today show be the Today show without Matt Lauer?! I think they do a good job of providing hard and soft news.

News

The past couple years I have really cut back on watching many news programs. It is just way too depressing and I’d prefer to try and keep on the positive side of things. Once in a while I will be cruising the TV channels and stumble on a story that gets my interest, such was the case early this morning while I was taking advantage of laying in bed and watching some TV on a lazy Saturday morning.

It seems that a couple had been living at their home for 40 years and just now discovered that the slab of marble that was at the front of their front door step was actually a tomb stone belonging to a woman named Jane. Sorry I can’t remember the last name, but that doesn’t really matter now does it? The date was back in the 1860′s and they were not able to find any remains (which I believe to be a good thing) and plan on keeping this unusual find, right side up this time,.

What Do You Predict And Will You Share It

Donna — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 18:39:58 +0000

I was turned on to a really cool site that allows you to make a Prediction and then sit back and wait and see if it comes true by the date that you predicted it to. You can link it to your Face Book page or Twitter and I was also told that I could link it here on my blog but I searched and searched and for the life of me I could not find the slanted number 8 that they told me to find and click on after making my prediction, sigh…..

I still think it is a cool site. What I Predict is “There is no doubt that the new technology that our law enforcement population have been issued called Cellebrite cell phone extraction device (UFED) will be in the news because it will be abused by so many people that wear the “badge.” which is a device that I had heard about and then read about on Face Book last night. Pretty scary info her folks, please check it out if you can.

Now after saying all of that I just found the slanted 8 and I’m going to try and link it here. Will see if it works or not. Here goes nothing folks…

Well it doesn’t come out as a link, but when I copy and pasted the info and put it in the address bar it does take you right to my Prediction where you can then read it and then comment on it. Pretty cool beans if I don’t say so myself.

Face Book Issues

Donna — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 19:18:52 +0000

I have been spending more time on Face Book lately, since figuring out how to get around on it with more ease and grace. I do have to say that I am one of millions of others that are unhappy with the new changes that they just pulled on us. This really sounds like a big deal, even heard about it on one of the late night talks show that I watch on occasion. And now it seems that they are working on even more changes. . . .

Sunday Paper

Donna — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 16:00:37 +0000

We did not get our Sunday paper this morning. I went out at 8:30, then again at 9:30 and there’s no paper. My neighbors don’t subscribe, so I don’t know if the paper carrier came though here or not, as there are no other driveways to check and see if they got one and just not me. This is so frustrating. I was looking forward to sipping on my cup of coffee and reading the paper this morning to see what all is going on in the world that I can’t find by going online. But considering what we went through last night I’ve decided not to call and complain. Just because we got through Irene all right doesn’t mean that the paper delivery guy made out as well.

Clueless

Donna — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 21:29:05 +0000

Not that we had any plans for this weekend, but I can tell you that riding out a major hurricane certainly wasn’t what I had in mind what-so-ever. The grocery stores are starting to fill up with folks buying bottled water, batteries, boards, milk and course the always needed toilet paper. I have never really figured out why the toilet paper, anyone out there have a clue?

What The Heck Is Going On Here

Donna — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 20:57:16 +0000

Tuesday’s earthquake really freaked me and my daughter out. I was trying to text my best friend and it wasn’t typing correctly and it was ticking me off. Next thing I know I heard the most outrageous loud rumbling that sounded just like a freight train was right outside my door, it didn’t take long for me to realize that it was an earthquake and I found myself running to the other room to get my daughter and head straight for under the kitchen table, along with her new puppy who was barking like crazy. The shaking seemed to go on forever, although they say that it only lasted under a minute’s time. When it was all over and done with I totally fell apart and I am just now starting to feel better.

Now we have to worry about a major hurricane, when will it ever end?

Question: Can There Be Too Much Of A Good Thing? Answer: Yes Indeed

Donna — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 01:00:50 +0000

I’m seeing more and more commercials for Online Schools on the TV, some nights it seems as if those are the only commercials playing. Man that drives me crazy when you see the same commercial over and over during one show and if you stay on that same channel long one could actually get a bit turned off of the product or service that is being advertised way too much for one’s own good.

I know that people are flocking to attend colleges and universities in an attempt to further their education in hopes of securing a good paying job, although it certainly isn’t guaranteed to, never has and never will I’m afraid. But in these trying and very uncertain economic times it is the best option for most. I’ve been giving thought to going back to school, and am leaning towards online degree programs in nursing since the need for people in the medical profession will always be there, no matter what or so I am told.

My brother just sent me the link to http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/ which is the link to a Free application For Federal Student Aid for me to check out to see if I can get some financial assistance since there is no way I could afford anything like this on my own and I’m sure my brother doesn’t want to have to loan me the money and this is his way of telling me so. Ha!
