2009*2*26 1051est Good grief! Been crazy busy all morning… And boy did I screw up last nite! Tripped over my own ego, I did. LOLOL (I thank Yoda for the phrasing! Lolol) Oh yeah, big time! Well, I figured that if I kept the 6*pack*plus confined to the back porch over nite, I wouldn’t have to worry about Viva wandering off or getting left behind or or or! Ok, so the two little girls stayed in… everybody else was on porch… Warmish nite…plenty of food… water… companionship…Doggy blankets.. Doggy shelters. Sounds ideal, right? Let me tell you there was a problem with my calculations! Oh yeah! And Oh Dear! Not quite sure how to word the following … might be a little crude for some; thought provoking for others…Anyhow… when I went to the door to let the little girls out and also to remove the gate at the head of the steps, I found that new and heavy duty designs had been added to an 8 x 8 foot section of the porch! Oh gee! And NO, I did not take pix! Well, I hosed and scrubbed and kicked self in buns and cussed and fussed… But I did have to laff at myself… All of this before I’d had my first cup of coffee! Gives a whole new meaning to the words ‘ego trip’…lolol Y’all know we’ve been having some purty rough weather here in KY. Ice, snow, freezing rain and high winds! I discovered that one of my shutters out front had come loose and was hanging katiwhompus. I put off fixing it for 3 days before I got my act in gear.. Grabbed a section of Mimosa branch… a screwdriver, a pair of pliers and a small bolt cutter…  or view link www.eons.com/photos/photo/482133-1ST-WINTER-AT-THE-HAVENS Off I went to the front of the house… Oh, and let me tell you I was really lovely in my paint/work clothes and boggin! Oh yeah… Blue/green plaid flannel shirt over painted sweats… Red and white boggin… hair streaming down my back… Was warm out there, the sky was overcast but the ground was a soggy mess! Sheesh… Well, my feet got wet and you know I just HAD to drop several somethings – several times! I decided to forego the pleasure of re-doing the top most screws. Need a ladder to get up there under the eaves. With the kind of luck I’ve been having lately, I figured I would fall’d down, off, apart, or sumfin equally interesting if I climbed a ladder! Maybe I can con Grasscutter into getting the top screws… Anyway… even tho I can’t see them, I heard my flyguys up there a playing.. A gazillion ppl drove past, and naturally every one of them had to LQQK to see what the crazy lady was a doin’. I swear to you, if I ever got dressed up… I mean REALLY dressed up, not a soul would recognize me! Maybe that’s a good thing! Some good news! Final tests results came back on the raccoon critter situation… All rabies tests came back negative. That’s one big load off my mind. Newbie was in here this morning… played tether-ball with me in my chair! Lololol I MUST be out of my mind… Oh and when I went to bed last nite? I was under the covers, all situated in comfy style when my foot hit something. Something was in the bed with me… ruh row! (thank you Scoobie)  view link www.eons.com/photos/photo/341183-Newbie-being-cute-8-28-2-8 Well, covers go flying! Lolol I came up like a rocket… Now what?!?! Well ratz! The 6- pack- plus have been burying deer bones and chew toys under/between the covers, the pillows and the bed itself… Ain’t enuf money in the world to pay me to look under the bed right now… Sumfin might grab me and drag me under! I am out here… Need to start a small painting of Anna and El’s homestead among other things. Later all of mine… take care and go in safety always. Remember to plan/think ahead. It will save a lot of future work! Lololol Hugs and much love… meems, the one who does not remember her own sayings!
2009*2*25 1109est Mornin’ everybody! I am on my first cup of coffee! Sheesh… and I AM trying to warm up some… I slept late… rolled out to let the littlest ladies out… Lilyputz was talking to me… get up mom, get up… OUTSIDE MOM! HURRY! OUTSIDE.. lolol Well, why not get up? I couldn’t sleep anyway with the Lily carrying on! Any way, I discovered Viva was missing… I had let her out earlier with the big guy. I whistled and called… Whistled some more… everybody here but the Viva.. I walked to the end of the drive… no Viva… I watch the dogs for signs… Dogs, mine and the neighbors, are all looking up hill…Damn! That’s where a pack of coyotes live! I walked up the road… whistling and calling. Went down slope still looking up hill. Nothing. I started walking back towards the house. I hear my flyguys up there but sky is overcast and I cannot see them… I am still whistling and looking…Where else do I look? There are miles and miles of nothing but miles and miles up here! I didn’t want to think it, but I figured she is gone… Already in my mind I am thinking.. ‘not again, please. Not again.’ I was already writing of my sadness in the News. I caught a flash of white between the trees!  view link www.eons.com/photos/photo/479798 OMG! There she was… Trying to get down the hill thru the briars and the undergrowth! Here she came… just a hustling to get to the meems down below her! I teared up! I was so happy she found me…What a relief! Back to and into the house… Everybody got a treat. And everybody is zonked out in here… Safe and sound… It’s the emom’s turn to do guard duty… Critters were on duty all nite. Be right back… more coffee… there is still more to tell… lololol Nobody has asked what I was wearing when I went on this little jaunt! I gonna tell you anyway! Lolol I was wearing a purple caftan! Has pink roses embroidered on it… lots of silky green leaves… Purty but not quite the outfit to go looking for a lost puppy! No, my hair wasn’t combed but wonder of wonders … I did have my teeth in! lolol That’s the FIRST thing Anna will ask me when I tell her about Viva’s adventure. She’s gonna laff when I tell her about the caftan… It’s made of poly and, trust me, poly ain’t the warmest fabric to have against your skin…especially when it is 40 degrees out and a chilly breeze is blowing from the west. No, I didn’t take time to get my coat…! I am a walking disaster! Lololol Clothed or not! Let’s see here… I heard from my roving reporter in this morning’s email. She lives on a different planet from the rest of us! Oh yeah! What more can I say! Crackin up! FROM: jas2maui DATE: 02/25/2009 On the list of “DO NOTS†for aging boomers is Wok Sledding. The bottom of a 72 yr old female is not meant to go bouncy bouncy over snow laden hill and dale particularly if one has been hitting the vanilla bottle. Am I laughing...YOU BETCHA I hope this shows up… don’t know what I did but here is a pic of Donna, Jas 2. Guess that’s it for the time being… I am so far behind again that I’ll never catch up… But look at the fun I’ll have trying… lolol Take care all of mine… go in safety always.. Remember to look for the lost, you just might find! Many hugs and much love… The not particularly organized meems… lolol
2009*2*24 1031est OK! I’ve had it! No incoming emails for more than 12 hours… I was not a happy camper last nite… My server email section crashed big time… Firefox crashed several times.. Aaaarrrrrrggggghhhhh! Now, that’s not the only thing that happened yesterday! Got a letter from IRS… and in a separate envelope my refund… I get a refund and the letter tells me how to pay the money (form 2210) I OWE to the IRS! Does anybody see anything wrong with this picture? Or is it just me? And I haven’t even gotten to the Soc Sec letter! Lordy pete! Trust me, it does not get any easier to read the jargon as you get older! I tried to call the number listed… No dice… seems there is a glitch of some sort in the system… It’s either terminal hold (not viable yesterday) or call back… Where’s the vanilla!?! KK get and bring the Niquil! Another thing! Remind me, the next time I go sled riding in the wok, to put a cushion or a large hot water bottle in the bottom of the darned thing! Lolol Buns got really cold against the metal… and the bumps going over the water falls didn’t help a bit! Got the giggles now… My flyguys are up there playing again… They MUST get up before breakfast to be up there so early… lolol So beautiful… them BBSBs… hugs guys…  or view link www.eons.com/photos/photo/354531 I joined the Bossman’s new group, Gimp group, last nite before everything crashed. Do I understand it? Not the first word but I did get a look at some of the manipulations that can be done with Gimp… Awesome! Oil paints are a lot simpler, for me anyway. Ya might want to check it out tho…  or view link www.eons.com/photos/photo/480103 A beautiful photo by the Bossman, GaryJames Oh, and happy birthday to two of my rotten Brats… LittleJake and TCornish… Have many many more… loves ya both…. I’m outa here before sumfin else happens… Go in safety always all of mine…Take care and just remember that each day can be a new adventure… if you’re not careful! Lolol Many hugs and much love… Meems
2009*2*23 1310est Well kids… Get your buns in here… set a spell.. have some coffee or tea or sumfin cold! Get ready to hear a parade of gripes.. lolol Anyway, get yourselves warm and toasty! It are definitely cold out there… Shady side of the mountain is still snow covered; sunny side is a slippery mess. Handsofhope (Cheryl) told me to be careful if or when I went out to make a snow angel… Well, sweeties, I decided to give up the snow angels for the moment but I did consider a sled ride… Me grabbing a huge cook pot or better yet a giant economy sized wok and going out the door in my old plaid robe. Red and white boggin on my head with my non-conformist Mickey Mouse shoes stuck on my feet. Plop my buns in wok and hang on to the handles for dear life! Take off down slope with skirts just a flapping in the breeze…Hair streaming out behind me! WOOOO HOOOO! LQQK OUT BELOW!  or view link www.eons.com/photos/photo/479735 Now think about this! There ain’t no brakes on a wok… nary a one… However, there is a cliff just below the slope from the house… I know, I know but there’s a lot of snow below so the drop and stop won’t be too awful bad… Just a little sudden. Then after the drop and stop, there’s the frozen creek with its mini-waterfalls! More downhill and ya sure don’t need a direction finder… With a little luck, I just might end up on Anna’s front door step… Even tho bruised and battered, I would be invited in for a cup of coffee… Iffen I was real lucky, she might even offer me a bowl of home made veggie soup… She is awful good about takin’ in hungry and mildly damaged stray. Her hubby, El (the masked booper) will be more than happy to bring me home on the tractor… lololol Anna and I can get a little rowdy sometimes… Would you believe it? Lolol Poor El!  or view link www.eons.com/photos/photo/345618 Here’s El hanging up backer (tobacco) to dry. ***And this one is from the Marv… He’s gonna get me banned in Boston yet!*** Celibacy can be a choice in life, or a condition imposed by circumstances. While attending a Marriage Weekend, Walter and his wife, Ann, listened to the instructor declare, 'It is essential that husbands and wives know the things that are important to each other.' He then addressed the men, 'Can you name and describe your wife's favorite flower?' Walter leaned over, touched Ann's arm gently, and whispered, 'Gold Medal-All-Purpose, isn't it?' And thus began Walter's life of celibacy. Just a note here… My server has crashed several times since yesterday… Sheesh! Must be the wet now frozen snow… Or tree limbs or rock slides or or or… Ya pays your dime and takes your choice. Take care all of mine… go in safety always… Remember to have a good time… today might be all you have! Hugs and much love… Meems, the adventurous! Gots the giggles….
2009*2*21 0957est Sheesh! All of 10 degrees out there! Wind is gusty and COLD! And so am I! Went out to put another Broom in the mail box… This time I was wearing an old Black Watch plaid robe… Yes, my hair was combed and in a clip… Yes, my teeth were in! (wonder of wonders) lolol and yes, I was wearing my comfy Mickey Mouse shoes…I am soooo cute first thing in the morning! Would I lie? Would these lovely green eyes lie? Bat, flutter, wink, blink? Oh yeah! In a NY minute! Well, I am tripping over the critters and being greeted by what seems to be a gazillion doggers! Trying to keep my balance… I hear a roar! I look up! And there go two of my BBSB (big beautiful silver birds) The Boss man and his Wing man… Wowser… Clear blue sky and clean white contrails… I wave and throw hugs and kisses… And ladies, listen up! I got ‘flashed again’. Air must be fairly quiet up there… earlier contrails are still showing… all interwoven sunlit lines written on the sky. Was too cold to stay out there very long but it tickles me no end to get flashed by mine! Enjoy it guys/gals… I am up there with you.  view link www.eons.com/photos/photo/355155 Now, if I could just figure out a way to get the rest of mine to travel through the territory… I can see where there might be a few problems getting a battleship up this way but, gee whiz, jeeps and tanks and and and might be interesting. Or how bout just a visit! A drive by to wave? Stop in and have a mug of coffee? (Bring own donuts please and a couple for me) lolol Welcome home, dear hearts, welcome home all of mine! Well, I don’t have any TACKY limericks this morning… Don’t know if that spell is over or not… Just have to wait and see what falls out of the old pen/fingers…lolol I did find a comment about my limericks… lolol They “need a little workâ€Â… I cracked up when I read the remark! Too much truth there. That’s why they are called ‘tacky’. Gots the giggles now. Guess what?!? We have another winter storm warning out for my area again… Starting at 1900est…high winds and snow until midnite Sunday. Well, why not? Everybody must have something! Ok now! Who ate my remote? What have I done with it! Wait… I need to go to the mail box… I wouldn’t have done that, would I?!? Ratz… Back from the mail box again! Nope, not there… Checked back porch, the kitchen, the bathroom, the microwave, behind the coffee pot, the freezer, the fridge, the easy bake oven…No remote! Was I in the cupboards for any reason? I am starting to worry that the 6 pack plus has gotten to it! I’ve only been to a limited amount of places in the past few. I checked the back of the pick-up. Oh dear, the possibilities, in one way, are limitless! Well, I go to side door again… follow the route I generally take. Check the bathroom, get back here to the apartment to just stand and look and ponder. Hmmm… I got to the bed, check the covers…nope… Well, I notice the drawer on the right side of the puter is part way open… Now, when did I do that?!? There, in the drawer and residing in safety, was the remote! Thank goodness! LOLOL I think this is a riot and a very telling remark on the conditions residing in my ‘attic’. Well, it was safe… Do y’all suppose there is any way I can blame this on the 6 pack plus? Shucky darns… didn’t think so! Well, this wasn’t quite as bad as finding the ice cream in the microwave. But it is up there with Anna finding her cordless in the fridge… lolol
2009*2*20 0920est I can see what kind of day this is gonna be! Viva managed to get to the roll of paper towels…Can you say: confetti? In a few minutes, I am gonna do some serious cover-diving and try to forget it all! Sheesh… Don’t know what the problem is today but the 6 pack has started giving Viva a hard time! She’s being forced to stand in line to eat… I even have food in the kitchen as well as on the back porch! Newbie “corrected†her a bit ago… Viva starts screaming… MOM, SAVE ME! LET ME IN! Well, I go get her…Bring her inside… Viva tries to get sumfin to eat… Ophie, who is one quarter Viva’s size, starts growling. Oh dear! I gave up! Discretion being the better part of valor, I headed for the apartment… Let the critters sort it out themselves… I do doggy talk really well but sometimes I miss the finer points in the discussion… There was quite the conversation going for a while but no screaming! Whew! All’s quiet for the time being! Tacky limerick time again… THERE ONCE WAS A GUY NAMED SARGE30 WHO FELL OFF THE BARGE WHILE QUITE DIRTY. HE SPLASHED AND HE THRASHED TIL THE DIRT HE HAD TRASHED NOW THE SARGE30 IS AT LARGE AND QUITE PURTY. No pix on this one cause it is a combo of a couple of guys I worked with! Lolol I DO have a very long memory for some things… lolol Oh yeah, just Ask Marv… Oh looky, I just did a pun too! Lolol Speaking of the Marv, he is such a grump! This is the latest message he sent me.. "Well it's about time.............I want full participation or the engagement is off.†I’m not too sure what this is about but I guess we are engaged again! Or not as the case may be!  or view link… www.eons.com/photos/photo/115193 Dear Marv... you good lookin' sexy thing, You! Scrambled Egg has a question.... If you ever woke to unexpectedly find yourself confined in a mental institution, how would you go about proving you were sane? Thank you Scrambled Egg Dear emom101, I can remember how I did, but I'm here aren't I!@ Actually it would be quite easy for me to prove I'm sane, as for you, that's another matter. All it took was a good lawyer and two doctors to vouch for me, for you I think the Spreme Court might be needed. Gotcha! Marvin See, I told ya! The boy loves me! Gots the giggles now for sure! Now I gots ta tell you about the Boss… He’s tripped over and been playing with sumfin called Gimp… It’s way beyond me, this Gimp thing. I can do the simple stuff but have yet to get the hang of Photobucket. Well, this is one of the Boss’ works. Study this one… It speaks of many things…loyalty, caring, sharing and the harms of war. Sacrifices made by mine…  Or try link… www.eons.com/photos/photo/475389 Well, I am out of here for the time being… lolol I are gonna head for the bed! Take care all of mine… go in safety always… Remember to take care of and love all your nutty friends… Pick on them… More fun! Lolol Many hugs and much love… meems
2009*2*19 1300est! Went back to bed this morning after I let the critters out/in! I turned to look out the window and couldn’t see the trees out back! Trees had disappeared behind a wall of swirling white stuff! This is sleepy weather and THAT is exactly what I did! Burrowed under the comforters… Wrecking Crew worked on the cover diving skills…Got to keep themselves in shape for the coming DCDCO…(doggy cover-diving championship Olympics). Well, let’s see here… I didn’t get fired by the Boss for the limerick. (It’s only a matter of time tho.) I seem to be on a roll writing/coming up with terrible limericks right now… and I came up with one for the LJ aka LittleJake aka Wayne… Only took me a year to come up with a TRIPLE gotcha he did on me in VNV! Oh yeah, three days in a row he did a gotcha on me on the same subject! Did I get even? Oh yeah! I asked a few of my friends to send him an Eons gift.. It took him two days or so of hard work to thank every one for his gifts… and he had no idea why he had been chosen to ‘receive’!  Or view link www.eons.com/photos/photo/95788-Up-Country-Laos-1969 Well, here we go with the next emom’s tacky limericks… THERE ONCE WAS A FELLER NAMED WAYNE WHO LIVED WAY OUT ON THE PLAIN WHEN HE GOT INTO TROUBLE WHILE CLIMBING SOME RUBBLE HE LOUDLY EXCLAIMED, “OUCHIE, OUCHIE, NEVER AGAIN!†Hey, I just make them up… didn’t say they, the limericks, were any good! Hmmm! Now back to my list of victims…I have a lot of ‘get evens’ to do…lololol And for as much as he complains, the Marv must love me! Lolol Says that since I am writing poems to other men, our engagement is off again! Lolol Cracking up here!…If I had a nickel for everytime Marv has broken our engagement, I’d be rich and living on the interest! So there, Brat! By the way, Marv was the first to received a tack limerick! Had something to do with a ‘turkey’ as I recall… Marv, honey, do you still have it? lolololol I’ve must tell you that the Marv has started and is bossman of a new group… ASK MARVIN! It’s sort of an advice column for those whose elevator doesn’t reach the top floor… and yes, I am a member! OMG! I AM in trouble!  or view link… My fave of the Marv! Lolol http://www.eons.com/photos/photo/167327 There is also a wanted poster for the LJ but Daggone it, I can’t find it right now… The rotten KK is the one who came up with the wanted posters… Trust me I am working on a ‘pome’ for her too. And then there’s one for Sarge30 when I can work it into my schedule! Well, I think I’ve done all the harm I can do for today… or not! Lololol Oh dear, I still have a couple of brooms to send out… Hope I can get that done today… Later… take care all of mine… go in safety always… Remember to find the goofiness in ourselves… makes a bad day go better… Hugs and much love… meems

Lordy pete… Now I have yards and yards of yards to unravel and rewind… Good grief… I will say one thing for Viva, she is an original if I’ve ever seen one! Newbie didn’t get into the yarn (maybe this is a female thing) … he just ate the kitchen chairs… lolol Viva has already learned to check the table top in the kitchen… Have you any idea how many times I’ve picked up the paper towels from the floor? And she’s what? Ten weeks old? I think I am in trouble here! At least with the Newbie, I only had a year of puppiness going… With her, I have a whole two years to look forward to…Oh gee and oh dear!
