Had to do it. If I didn't do it now, I could never afford to do it later. I traded in my deluxe 1985 Ford LTD Queen Victoria for a new automobile. When would I ever again be offered $4500.00 for this 10 miles per gallon fuel eating monster? Thank you President Obama!!

flippin fantastic!

I know, I know, it's been awhile.  I don't mean to be such an infrequent visitor, but... You know how it is.

Got a chance to play with my bright red winter toy today.  That's my snow blower.  I was surprised it started up so easily.  I used the manual pull rope instead of the electric starter.  I did struggle with it through the first 3/4's of job.  Didn't realize the tires were flat!  I keep a portable air tank filled for such emergencies.  What a difference tires full of air make!  I would have been done with the job 1 hr. sooner.

Think I got a bigger problem though.  I set a mouse trap in the middle of my basement floor the other day.  It has now disappeared, and I certainly didn't move it.  I think maybe I need a bigger one.

I'm on new medication for my diabetes.  Having a little trouble determining the proper dosage, I think.  My sugar is either high when I test it in the morning, or I wake up about 2am in the mourning with it low.  I know it's low because with my eyes closed, I see bright white simi-circular blobs in the center, and when I open my eyes, the central part of my vision isn't there.  Kind of scary.  It's ok though, I drink a glass of grape juice, or eat a piece of fruit, and within 5 minutes everything is back to normal.

I guess they finally got rid of the old editor, damn it.  I don't like this new one at all.

Ok, now for a shameless plug.  Check out my eBay listings.  There is a link on the left that should take you to them. NOT THE ADULT ONE!!!  I don't sell that stuff now.  If the link does not work, my selling id is flip2u2.

Take care all....

Flippin embarrassed

Why is there always one gift someone wants, that they say you can get anywhere, so hard to find?

flippin going bald

Ok, I know, I know, its been a long time.....been busy trying to sell vintage jewelry on eBay.  Got to make money somehow in order to buy Christmas gifts!

Some words of advise:  Do not, I repeat, do not clean your kitchen the day before you decide to cook up a BIG batch of chili.  And another thing, don't believe what it says on the back of a two pound bag of dried kidney beans about cooking time.  "1 to 1 1/2hrs." or "until tender."  Try 8 HOURS and still not as tender as I would have liked.

Ok, I've ranted and raved enough for the month.

Take care all.......

flippin tender kidneys.....
