EMOM'S MOUNTAIN NEWS posted 1 minute ago  2009*3*9 1049est
Mornin’ everybody! Welcome home, dear hearts, welcome home!
Come on out here on the porch. The sun is up… cloud patterns are outstanding and my flyguys are up there playing… lololol Either we have some really weird wind patterns today or they are playing tic tac toe up there again. Went out in the yard to wave and all that stuff. BBSB patterns/contrails covering the sky. Wowser, what a way to start the day. Lolol A real love affair going here… Throwing hugs and kisses.. getting flashed! Lololol
or view www.eons.com/photos/photo/490086
While I’m at it, I find some of the strangest things on my puter. Several days ago, I had a new photo program pop up on the screen… Well, it’s handy and easy to work but so far, I can’t find a way to crop the photos… and I sure can’t see the cam screen when I am outdoors. I judge where the subject matter is and hope for the best. Just about the time I get the hang of sumfin on this monster, it gets changed!
Well, I finished working with the Social Security report.. It’s done and in the mailbox. Ditto with the Broom. But, this is also the year for the bi yearly USDA report.. My cup do runneth over! Still have a couple of months to go for that one though.
Just went to get refill on my coffee… and looked out the side door… Oh yeah! Another one of my guys up there! Out on the porch I went… Is waving and stuff considered exercise? If so, it’s the best kind there is! That and laffter!
Gonna keep this short today.. Viva is a sneaky little pup. Well, she’s really growing like a wild weed in the swamp. She’s bigger all around than Max and Spudley! Lololol Good grief! Gots to rake the hall and apartment floors again. Gots ta scrape doggy snuffle marks off the window while I’m at it! Spring cleaning, doncha know!

Later all of mine… take care and go in safety always…Remember to look up and see the beauty all around you… another magical day!
Many hugs and much love… Meems

OK! I want to know what time it really is! My automatic atomic clocks do not work on this new time change… Sheesh, I wonder how long it’s gonna be before aac’s do their thing? The one over my puter gives the time, day, date and temp or it did… Now I have one time on two clocks and a different time on the rest. I think I am confused! More so than usual!
Now I gotta tell ya that yesterday was gorgeous up here in the mountains… mostly sunny, light breeze at ground level and a whomping 74 degrees! My flyguys were playing up there…
Well, I grabbed some pop, my cigars and lighter and took myself out the side door. (yes, I was dressed; yes, my teeth were in and no my hair was not up!) LOLOL Had my cam stuffed in a shirt pocket.
Out to the pick-up. Dropped the tail gate and plopped my buns down upon said tail gate! Sat there crossed legged and just enjoyed the heck out of the day. Looked for my guys up there… Watch a pair of hawks…heard some crows fussing… Watched the 6 pack plus playing with the neighbor’s dogs. Got tickled at the antics…I heard rounds being fired over in the next holler. Target practice or hunting?
Max and the two dogs above me were playing doggie tag around the neighbors truck. I cracked up… I am in a good mood!
I am content! And when I am content and in a good mood, I whistle. Can’t sing anymore so I whistle and I am not even aware that I am. Where is this going you ask? Lolol I’m gonna tell ya!
Sitting on the tail-gate. Dogs around me…I wave and throw kisses and hugs to my flyguys…Check this one out…
or view link www.eons.com/photos/photo/490032-OUT-OF-THE-SUN
Oh my gosh… I went a little crazy taking pix and laffing with my flyguys. Anyway, back to the whistling… or sitting on the tail gate or or or… lolol Well, I was sitting there, whistling, waiting for more of my flyguys to come over. Stopped whistling for a moment to take a drink of pop.
I could have sworn I heard someone clapping in the quiet.
Picked up the melody where I’d left off.. It dawned on me that it was the old English folk song… Black Is The Color Of My True Love’s Hair… Finished the song and all was still again.
Then I heard the sound again… Somebody was on the hill opposite the front of the house applauding? I bowed my head, looked up the hill and called thank you! Lolol I know y’all think I am nutz, but that is the absolute truth! I think it was the neighbor from the next county over but I’ll never be sure. LOLOL It was a magic day, yesterday!
I did manage to finish the Broom I was making. Today I need to get it packed up and out to the mail box.
Oh dear, I see contrails out there… gots to go wave for a bit…
Take care all of mine… Go in safety always… Remember to appreciate the good days!
Hugs and much love… meems

Looks like tornado season is here again. I can smell it in the air and feel it with my body. Batten down everybody… Gonna be a mighty dangerous spring here in the mountains.
Ok. That’s out of the way for now.
I finally got the pictures taken of the hall… as least part of it! LOLOLOL Viva has been doing some rearranging out there… I repeat myself! What HAVE I done? Lolol Take a gander at thisâ€Â
or see link www.eons.com/photos/photo/488663-Viva-s-fall-out
And you guys thot I was making it up! Lolol Nope… She is a whirlwind of demolition when she is awake.
And here is the Newbie and the Viva on the side porch! That fuzzy streak of white is the Viva in her perpetual motion mood… Lord help us all! Lololol
Or see link www.eons.com/photos/photo/488665-Viva-Newbie
I still can’t find a satifactory item to give y’all sumfin to give you an idea of the size of these two monsters… The neighbor seems to think Newbie is awesome. Lololol Especially when the Newbs was leaning against him… all 130 lbs between me and the guy! BTW, that’s what Newbie does until he, Newbs, decides the other person is ok. Not OK? Newbie leans.. OK and the Newbs moves to the side a ways then flops down.
On guard and very calm… alert but as long as meems is ok… so is he! Best dogs in the world these GPs! Appetite is as big as they are… Oh, Viva is now as tall as the Spudley and weighs just as much if not more.
Viva is very thin under her white coat. She will stay on the thin side until she is about 18 months or so. GP’s grow for two or more years… the bones wouldn’t be able to handle the weight if the pounds were put on too quickly. Her likes to have her ears rubbed too!
I shouldn’t show you this next pic… It exemplifies my sleeping spot after the 6 pack plus rearranges the covers to THEIR likings! But it is a true rendition! Gots the giggles now. I don’t know how I do it… lololol
or view link www.eons.com/photos/photo/488668-The-critters-made-the-bed
Now, be advised… under that pile of comforters, there might be any number of critters. Curled up, warm and sleeping safely! Lololol
Becky’s oldest daughter says she wants to ‘come back’ as one of my dogs! I cracked up when Beck told me… I think that’s a compliment…. Or not! Lolol
I saw several of my flyguys up there yesterday… oh yeah baby… and I got flashed too. Well, just once this time but that’s ok… I love it and crack up when that happens… lolol
When I let the dogs out earlier, I saw a contrail thru a break in the clouds…. Flyguy long time gone but he had been there. I’ve decided that when I can’t see em because of the clouds… I will just put my arms out with palms up. I can hear them when the winds are right and I know darned good and well they can see me thru the clouds…
The winds are really fierce out there right now and barometer is falling rapidly. Gots to go out and make sure everything is tied down or put away.
Take care all of mine… Go in safety always … Remember, don’t be like me! PLAN AHEAD or not! Each day is a new adventure…Ain’t it wonderful!?!
Many hugs and much love… the thoroughly confused meems… 
EMOM'S MOUNTAIN NEWS posted 1 minute ago 2009*4*3 0556est
Mornin’ all… Just had to share the following with everybody…lolol Was sent to my by Marv who, by the way, is still grumping. Him has also made a few statements in Ask Marv that’s gonna get him thumped by KK and me! And somebody wanted to know if he and KK are my kids.. OMG! I almost fainted!
Anyway, here is the article.. author unknown…and it’s been around before but I think everyone can relate!
This is dedicated to everyone who
> ever attempted to get into a regular workout routine.
>
> Dear Diary,
> For my birthday this year, my daughter (the dear) purchased a week of personal training at the local health club for me.
>
> Although I am still in great shape since being a high school football cheerleader 43 years ago, I decided it would> be a good idea to go ahead and give it a try.
>
> I called the club and made my reservations with a personal> trainer named Belinda, who identified herself as a> 26-year-old aerobics instructor and model for athletic
> clothing and swim wear.
>
> My daughter seemed pleased with my enthusiasm to get> started! The club encouraged me to keep a diary to chart my progress.>
> ________________________________
> MONDAY:
> Started my day at 6:00 a.m. ?Tough to get out of bed, but found it was well worth it when I arrived at the health club to find Belinda waiting for me. She is something of a Greek goddess - with blond hair, dancing eyes and a dazzling white smile. Woo Hoo!!
>
> Belinda gave me a tour and showed me the machines. I enjoyed watching the skillful way in which she conducted her aerobics class after my workout today. Very inspiring!
>
> Belinda was encouraging as I did my sit-ups, although my gut was already aching from holding it in the whole time she was around. This is going to be a FANTASTIC week-!!>
> ________________________________
> TUESDAY:
> I drank a whole pot of coffee, but I finally made it out the door. Belinda made me lie on my back and push a heavy iron bar into the air then she put weights on it! My legs were a little wobbly on the treadmill, but I made the full mile. Belinda's rewarding smile made it all worthwhile.
> I feel GREAT-!! It's a whole new life for me.>
_______________________________
> WEDNESDAY:
> The only way I can brush my teeth is by laying the toothbrush on the counter and moving my mouth back and forth over it. I believe I have a hernia in both pectorals. Driving was OK as long as I didn't try to steer or stop. I parked on top of a GEO in the club parking lot.
>
> Belinda was impatient with me, insisting that my screams bothered other club members. Her voice is a little too perky for that early in the morning and when she scolds, she gets this nasally whine that is VERY annoying.
>
> My chest hurt when I got on the treadmill, so Belinda put> me on the stair monster. Why the hell would anyone invent a machine to simulate an activity rendered obsolete by elevators? Belinda told me it would help me get in shape and enjoy life. She said some other chit too.>
> _______________________________
> THURSDAY:
> Belinda was waiting for me with her vampire-like teeth exposed as her thin, cruel lips were pulled back in a full snarl. I couldn't help being a half an hour late - it took me that long to tie my shoes.
>
> Belinda took me to work out with dumbbells. When she was not looking, I ran and hid in the restroom. She sent another skinny b*tch to find me.
>
> Then, as punishment, she put me on the rowing machine -- which I sank.
> _______________________________
> FRIDAY:
> I hate that bitch Belinda more than any human being has ever hated any other human being in the history of the world. Stupid, skinny, anemic, anorexic little cheerleader.
> If there was a part of my body I could move without unbearable pain, I would beat her with it.
>
> Belinda wanted me to work on my triceps. I don't have any triceps! And if you don't want dents in the floor, don't hand me the damn bar bells or anything that weighs> more than a sandwich.
>
> The treadmill flung me off and I landed on a health and nutrition teacher. Why couldn't it have been someone softer, like the drama coach or the choir director?>
> ________________________________
> SATURDAY:
> Belinda left a message on my answering machine in her grating, shrilly voice wondering why I did not show up today. Just hearing her voice made me want to smash the machine with my planner; however, I lacked the strength to even use the TV remote and ended up catching eleven straight hours of the Weather Channel.>
________________________________
> SUNDAY:
> I'm having the Church van pick me up for services today so I can go and thank GOD that this week is over. I will also pray that next year my daughter (the little chit) will choose a gift for me that is fun -- like a root canal or a hysterectomy. I still say if God had wanted me to bend over, he would have sprinkled the floor with diamonds!!!

Now this put me back to the time I went for my first Karate lesson. Lolol I was 50 sumfin and working mid-night shift. Classes were on Saturday mornings…I stayed up instead of going to bed when I got home…
Put on my brand new Gi… white belt… Drove to the Dogo… Sensei greeted me. He was a cop, by the way. After going thru the forms, I was paired with a good lookin’ 6’3â€Â, 200 lbs worth of all muscle, 20 sumfin hunk. Breathe girls, breath! We did some throws! No problem…
Home.. took bath…did some serious cover diving.. I felt purty good! Lololol
Slept sound! OH yeah! The alarm went off at 2000 hours (8:00 PM). I, however, did not! Man, oh man! I couldn’t move.
The only reason I knew I wasn’t dead was I hurt too bad and there wasn’t a mark on me!
Another of those ‘What have I done?!?’ moments… gots the giggles…
Later… take care all of mine… go in safety always. Remember to think before you ‘fall’! lololol
Many hugs and much love… the can still remember the pain too.. meems
2009*3*3 1008est Well kids… this was a new one on me.. I am wading thru the paper trail out in the hall… precariously carrying my hot coffee (so I don’t spill it, of course). Get half way back to the apartment and I hear a sound that will send shivers up your spine! Scratch, scratch! AROOooOOOoooooooo! What the heck now?!? Now, spilling my nice hot coffee as I go, I head for the kitchen to see what is going on.. I cracked up when I got there… On the other side of the side door stood the Newbie! Nose pointed straight up… singing! Serenading the emom? I have no idea but I love it when a critter sings… Newbie alarm barks…Sings and, last but not least, he grumbles… Not growl, grumble! If he sees sumfin strange or sumfin he doesn’t like, he takes off toward whatever it is. Grumblin’, fussing and complaining all the way. Kinda reminds me of me. Lolol Now, I gots ta tell ya, Viva is a natural disaster looking for a place to happen… I’ve tried to take a pic of the hall-way disaster but the first attempt didn’t come thru… Will try again later today … You wouldn’t believe the fall out that comes from that little girl… Oh, I tried to weigh her a couple of days ago! Trust me, squirming pup, antique scale and the emom do NOT work well together.. lolol Nearest I can figure, she weighs between 20 and 25 lbs! Possibly more… I have a real problem trying to pick her up now…She is just 12 weeks old! What HAVE I done… lololol I think I would cry iffen I could work it into my schedule… And what is it about this swinging chair that fascinates these two critters? Sheesh! The Newbie keeps playing tether ball with my buns and now the Viva has taken it up! 
Or view www.eons.com/photos/photo/466990-Newbie-and-Viva I know you’ve seen this one before but ya know how it is… Time gets away from me! lolol Viva ain’t too bad yet for interrupting my typing but if Newbie can’t get my attention, he walks around to my side and moves me. Then he plops his head on my lap and blocks the keyboard. Yeah yeah, I know he want my attention and he gets it! Trust me he does! Ya can’t ignore 130 lb (and that’s just the hair) yeller dog when he wants attention! Lolol He really is lovable tho…and him loves to have his ears rubbed… Oh, there is an up side to having critters! Spring is coming! Viva is starting to shed her puppy fuzz! Oh dear… by the time summer arrives, I will have cleaned up enuf hair to make two whole dogs! I’m gonna try to get the hall and the apartment floors cleaned up today. Notice I said try! Lolol Even with the best of intentions, I can get sidetracked so easily…Especially when it comes to that nasty four letter word – work! What else? Hmmm! Guess that’s it for now. It’s beautiful sunny clear sky day.. Now, if it will just warm up a little… 14 deg is still just a might chilly! Take care all of mine… go in safety always. Remember to enjoy life in all its variations! Many hugs and much love.. Meems 
2009*3*2 1319est Sheesh! I’ve been up all of two hours and am just now setting down to do the News. Welcome home, dear hearts, welcome home… Come on in and set a spell… Have some coffee or whatever.. lolol Snack time… Help selves.. Y’all been here often enuf to know where everything is… Gots ta tell ya about Ophie… my little Chihuahua girl… lololol Spring is in the air.. lolol She has fallen ‘in love’ with the new neighbors male dog. Lolol You talk about your basic flirting… Crackin’ up here… I need to take lessons from her… I am almost shocked. She is the shy one of the 6 pack plus. She is too cute and the boy next door doesn’t know quite what to make of it! Lolol 
or see www.eons.com/photos/photo/354556-China-on-guard-duty- Speaking of spring… I don’t have any idea what was wrong with me yesterday but I goofed while writing my checks… Oh dear… I put the name of the Long distance carrier on the check but the dollar amount was for the elec bill… Can you say: rip open envelope.. tear up check and write a new one? OMG! LOLOLOL and that wasn’t the end of yesterday’s fiasco… Well, I wrote a check to the veterinarian to prepay for Viva’s spaying… Addressed envelope… return address sticker .. stamp. Carried all out to the mail box. Found a package for me from a dear friend… Came back to the apartment to open package and discovered the check I had written for the vet still here on the desk top… Empty envelope out in mail box… Well, ratz! To finish this one up, the now stuffed enveloped is setting here ready to go again… I hadn’t even sealed it the first go-round! Oh here is another TACKY limerick from the fingers of the meems… lolol I once knew a gal named K K Who always had funnies to say say Charming and bright Quite often she’d write They’re coming to take us away…hey hey! 
or see www.eons.com/photos/photo/119354 Certain amount of truth there… tis only a matter of time! Guess I’m not over my limerick spell just yet! Gotcha twice brat! Lololol Well, kids.. I am outa here… hot footin’ it to the FOS before KK catches up with me… Oh dear! Later all of mine… take care and go in safety always… Remember temptation will get you every time! Especially when you can’t resist it! Lololol Hugs and much love .. The skirtin’ the thin edge meems
2009*2*28 1039est Get your buns in here and close the door. Chilly enuf out there for y’all? Wind blowing and it is starting to drizzle… Miserable weather… 36 degrees and dropping… Look out KK… it’s heading your way… Somebody has already asked me what I have planned for the day… I told him… I don’t think it was quite what he expected to hear! Lolol I was a baaaaad girl! Got the giggles now.. lolol 
or www.eons.com/photos/photo/87701-Raincatcher Well, I just said I was gonna’ strip starkers and when the first rain/sleet/snow started to fall, I was going to do a lap around the outside of the house! Was gonna be screaming ‘Jimmy Dean’s alive’at the top of my lungs. A shower/bath once a year in an open air sauna never hurts anybody iffen ya just don’t overdo it! I’m sure the guy was really impressed with my cleanliness habits! I am just as sure Mary and Keith, the new neighbors, will feel the same way. I can see it all now… the neighbors wanting advanced notice… selling tickets for the ‘showing’ Set up yard sale and flea market… Ice cream and donut vendors.. Pepsi stand.. hot dogs and hamburgers… Oopsie… starting to cascade here… Oh, a couple more… a balloon critter maker… and a sausage & biscuit sampling booth… I’m positive I’ll come up with some more as the day goes on…. More neighbors…LOLOL 
or www.eons.com/photos/photo/375915-HIM-HER-HIM Last nite… I was watching Cops (TruTV) again.. A female officer asked an obviously intoxicated male pedestrian a few questions… Of course oi man denied every thing even as he dropped a empty can of beer to the ground.. When the officer asked why he was staggering and stumbling, the man replied with great dignity… “I tripped over a gopher hole†lolol Sounded reasonable to me… lolol I fell out of my chair.. Here in the mountains, you fall in a well or down a mine shaft…Not sumfin minor like a gopher hole! Have I ever mentioned that I love people? Another one that caused me to lose it… Got a call from a bartender way out in the county… Male subject had just left bar, was highly intoxicated. Was north bound on a state route driving a wheelchair… Why me, lordy pete! Well, I am outa here for the day… and I think I will take tomorrow off. It’s bill paying day and I do have some letters to get out.. What happened to February anyway? I think I’ve lost a whole month this time… lolol Take care all of mine… go in safety always.. Remember to enjoy the ridiculous… It thrives all around us… Hugs and much love … meems
2009*2*27 Am I a mess or what? Went outside to play with the trees for a while… Worked on a peach tree and lopped off some lower branches; then I looked at the pond… 
view link www.eons.com/photos/photo/479810-The-pond-after-the-storm Well now, the pond really looks bad without the snow and ice. I pulled the pump out to see if it needed cleaning… it hadn’t been pumping the water thru the water fall so I shut it down late last fall/early winter. Well, shoot, I’ll have to get a new pump… the oil has leaked out… poor little thing is humming but not pumping! Ratz! I forget what the oil does, but if you ain’t got it, you ain’t got IT! Lolol I ended up covered in mud! I came within an ace of falling into pond while I was at it. Meds I take cause balance problems.. lolol I also have vertigo (no, not the movie) This sometimes makes it difficult to amble or stagger along in a straight line.. NO, KK, I have not been hitting the vanilla! However, it is a thot! 
or view www.eons.com/photos/photo/132644-KK-February-2-8 This is the lady who tries to keep me on the straight and narrow. Who shares her vanilla when I run short and who will even fix me a mixed drink with fresh Nyquil. Lolol She also is my memory file when I run out of RAM! Lololol Then I hear my flyguys up there… Kind a sorta had an idea where they were, but except for an occasional sighting, the clouds were too thick and too low for me to see the contrails. And worse yet, I didn’t get flashed! Not that I could have seen one anyway! I finally had to sit in one of my canvas chairs to keep from losing my balance and falling over. So, not only was it a grungy gray day, it was a total loss as far as the flashes were concerned! Lololol I did see some bluebirds out apartment shopping. Him has on his breeding colors. He was checking out the old birdhouse hanging on the side of the telephone pole. Her, looking very spiffy in her new spring feathers, sits on the wire to observe the proceedings. I need to be looking for clay gourds to suspend from poles for the swifts. Bluebirds like them too… Oh, I am starting to see some green daffodil leaves breaking thru the surface. Bout time. The peach trees are starting to bud.. The weather report for the week-end says we are have temps in the teens with rain turning to snow. I’ll be surprised if the trees survive let alone bloom. UPDATE! Wrote the above last nite… it is now 1048est Friday. LOLOL It’s down the tubes already and I haven’t been up that long! Had to grind beans for the coffee this morning. Not a smidgeon of ground coffee in the big can! The well pump took it’s good old fashioned time coming back on after the bathroom stop! Well Ratz! No water, no coffee, no matter how many beans I had in a bag! Now, y’all know what a charmer I am first thing in the morning. (need I mention cute?) lolol Try me without any coffee for the first 20 minutes of the day! (need I say more?) Ok so I got the grinder out…a 12 oz bag of French roasted beans. Got em last year on sale for a dollar a bag cause they was outdated. Actually, I bought 6 bags. Honey, trust me, it they ain’t been wet and ain’t moldy, them beans is still good to go. I dump a bunch of beans in the grinder. The well pump comes on.. I’m now in 7th heaven! I have ground coffee… water… filters… and TA DA! Electricity! Lololol I just might survive… Oh dear! The Viva! Oh dear! Can you say: growing like a weed? Lolol Oh yeah…I called Lucien to ask her birthdate. He said… December 1st. Well, kids, you do the math. She can already stand up, see over the edge of the kitchen table and definitely get into stuff… The paper ‘crumb’ trail down the hall way is now a path and about 1†deep. (not quite true but close enuf as to make no difference) OMG! What have I done?!? I’ve gots to get a move on here… Gots some homemaker stuff to do… yucky pucks! Later all of mine… take care…go in safety always. Remember to share the smiles and to watch the little ones at play. Young’uns are a trip all by themselves. Many hugs and much love… meems
