Good morning. The weather looks calm today. My schedule is open today. Memorial Day is next Monday and people will/can start wearing white again. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. The last storm last night caught me by surprise. Lightning, thunder, torrential downpour with wind. Internet going on and off for a few minutes. The lights dimmed, and then a big crash somewhere as lightning said hello. And of course the horrible alert on the television interrupts my life.......... and it makes such a horrible sound. The weather says there is a slight chance of horrible weather this morning but I just looked at the weather and I see nothing......... as Schultz would say. And... to start off yesterday, I got wet on my walk. I leave you now with a thought. There must be an allergen in the air. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
It is raining with thunder and lightning for at least the next couple of hours. I was working on some old videos from the 60s yesterday. The quality is poor but brings back some thoughts, both good and bad. I had to figure out how to work the projector and screen again. I got to Walmart yesterday but unfortunately I always go early and miss seeing the funny people coming in. The new DVR, and who knows if it is new, does not want to cooperate with my stereo speakers. Only one will work. The problem is not my speakers. I was talking with my provider yesterday and she told me it has to be plugged into the TV. That does not work with my situation and I know it worked plugged into the other DVR. All is lost. Woe is this writer! Fortunately I only use them on the TV when I brush my teeth, at least 99% of the time. My analysis is that there is something wrong with the plug on the DVR. At least I can get one to work so I can put my ear to that one. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. I woke up and heard the rain on the side of the house. At one point earlier, about 11 PM, I had to get up and close the window. About 3AM, listening to the rain, I found myself not wanting to get up. It was peaceful, but then, an occasional thunder and lightning. I have no walk planned unless it is later. About 6 AM an excursion to the store, though it is a Walmart. It is not an emergency. They used to be open 24/7. Like everything, not good for this writer. The installation of a new Bishop today. I wonder if I will be called upon to speak. You know, introducing him and so forth. He is from Detroit so he will not know a lot of people here. Hide from the rain. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. Because of the incident with my technical support yesterday, I shall have to go to church this morning. I am not used to going on a Sunday any more. I am going to the Cathedral which I did years ago and now only make a cameo there. And now the Mass does not begin until 7:30. I would rather go at 6 like in previous years. Change! Humbug!!! Maybe I shall try to do my walk downtown before Mass. Game time decision on that. I have come to the conclusion that my problem from yesterday was my own making. I knew I should not try to do any cleaning around my television and accessories. Have a reasonable day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet! Postscript: Looks like a cooler day than yesterday.
Good morning. Happy Saturday. I opened my windows this morning to get some fresh air into the house. The temperature in the house is not really too bad. I think about 73° F. However, I have been hearing rumors of pollen and other things in the air that never seemed to bother me at an earlier age. I suspect that some of those alien things now have an effect on me. Nothing serious. Just something to let you know that you are alive and subject to things out of your control. I got out yesterday for a nice walk and then I went to church. That was it for the day as far as doing anything. In either case, while at church I had a chance to become an art critic. I went over and took some pictures of the new mosaic which I am including in my newsletter this morning. It actually looks better than my picture. I don't exactly have a camera without mirrors so consequently it loses something in the translation. I have nothing planned for today. I will be getting out for a walk in approximately an hour from my keystroke of the computer. I am hoping to visit every web site on the Internet over the weekend. I will also be attending the obligatory Mass later in the day. I would much rather go to church during the week than the weekend for several reasons but in either case, that may be it for the day. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. For the last few days I have been inundated with something from another planet. First it was a cough and then some things I was not able to put my finger on, and now, a minor sore throat so far. I was planning on going to the space station but that plan is off the table. I shall persevere. It is Friday the eve of the weekend, so for people who have a life, enjoy yourself. Yesterday, because of the rain and so forth, I did not go for my exercise. I may not go today as I feel obscure. Have a reasonable day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
she was one of the best screamers I have heard............ until a month ago or so, in the Mother's room at church of some little girl.
Remember when we were children, and yes............. I was a child. This is how we watched television lying down. My mother did not approve but as long as I did not do it with the living room console TV she looked the other way. My dad thought it would create eye strain.
Good morning. It's wet out there. Rain will continue until the clock strikes 8 AM. I will forgo the walk, I think today. Everything today will be a game time decision. I have been meaning to dust my house with the vacuum for several years, so maybe............ Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
A side note to one of the pics I published. I am certain you know the story of THE LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE, the TV show and a book. In either case, the cast, having a reunion, took a cruise on this paddlewheeler the day after I took the picture and published it. I wonder if they are not some of my readers.
Greetings and hello. I am still fighting the good fight with the monster. I think it is in the wall and that is why I am not getting a visual on it. I did kill one the other day. I have all food supplies secured to deprive the enemy of that. I shall try to move on. I plan on going to church this morning after my exercise, outside of that........ who knows! Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. I believe a dinosaur is in my house. It awoke me at 2 and I can not return to dreamland. As a matter of fact, it is continuing to this very keystroke. I feel the day is lost. If I had not vowed to take to the streets in the middle of the night, I would be out in the safety of the streets right now. In either case, I persevere. I am brave and take up the banner of the downtrodden in this matter. Hopefully I shall not become extinct in this matter and will continue my relevant comments to the masses. Save the day! Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. Today I celebrate two anniversaries. First Communion on Mother's Day; Confirmation on Mother's Day; both in the distant past. Even though they are different dates, both were Mother's Day and so I celebrate them on the holiday rather than the specific date. Seems like yesterday though it was when Nero was President of Italy. It brings back some good memories. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. On the eve of Mother's Day weekend, people will be bustling around for the gift they had not thought of before now. When I was a regular at the restaurant, this and Easter were the big days. Where I went there would be about 1800 people who would attend. I now dine in solitude of my FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. Garbage Day in the Colonies. Expecting some rain after 9 AM though the radar looks more imminent than that. I hope I am not caught in it again. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. Happy HUMP DAY. After getting caught in the torrential downpour with lightning yesterday, I am hoping for better today. The percentages are with me all day. My socks are still wet hanging on a chair. Fortunately I have a lot of them though for some reason use the ones with holes. Once again........ I can't throw things away. DAY 1 is in the books of the chapter entitled, LIFE WITH NO CARAFE. It went reasonably well. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
I have some sad news to share, WritterDeb let me know that sweet "Angeleyes" passed away yesterday (Monday May 6th) in her home, surrounded by her sons. She had been battling lung cancer for a long time, she never wanted anyone to know or to feel sorry for her, only a couple of us knew about the cancer. She loved being an active member of NOTH..she loved her online friends...they made the painful days bearable.
Good morning. Yesterday my last of the original carafes I bought in the 1990s expired. My own fault knocking it on the floor. I used it the rest of the day but by the end of the day, it was obvious there was some damage by the residual leaking of coffee. I shall miss both of these carafes. The trouble is no one is carrying them in the store. If you want to buy one, you have to order it online. I bought these at Walmart and they have prolonged the life of my coffee makers to no end. I imagine I will eventually buy another one but I will go into a decent time period of requiem in honor of these assistants of this writer. I say to them now. see you on the other side. Maybe I will see if it is possible to make just a couple of cups of coffee for breakfast. Have a reasonable day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. Monday is here and so is this writer. It is good to get the weekend over and back to reality. Nothing planned for today. Everything will be simultaneous........ except for the banana run. I think I got too much done yesterday, the walk, going on the swings and monkey bars, but not really the monkey bars. In either case, today, moderation. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. Happy Sunday. Looks like a sunny and leisurely day coming forth. It was good to get the Star Wars day out of the way.The Empire has a way to keep popping up over the eons and segments. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Happy Caturday. Lethargic this morning. Rain about 9 AM so it looks like I will get the walk in. Church later. Outside of that, who knows. I remember when I looked forward to the weekend. Have a reasonable day in the fantasy of life. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
