HOWARD’S DAILY CHRONICLE
NUMBER 11 VOL 15
SATURDAY OCTOBER 11TH 2008
WEATHER; WARM, HIGH HUMIDITY, 64/84 DEGREES
LOCAL GAS PRICES; $2.54 WAL MART $2.59 EXXON AND OTHER MAJORS! NATIONAL AVERAGE $3.35! OIL DOWN TO $72.00 A BARREL TODAY!
MOM WENT IN AND HELPED SHANNON WITH HER SHOWER AND WASHING HER HAIR THEN TOOK HER TO GET HER HAIR CUT AND STYLED! I DIDN’T DO ANYTHING BUT STAY OFF MY FEET AND WATCHED CNN! PRESIDENT BUSH WAS BACK ON TV TODAY WITH MORE INPUT ON HOW TO STRAIGHTEN OUT THE MESS HE AND CHENEY CREATED! THEY SHOULD KNOW HOW TO FIX IT SINCE THEY’RE THE ONES ALONG WITH A FEW HUNDRED OTHERS WHO CREATED IT!
TIM CALLED TO TELL US THAT THEY HAD TO TAKE BRADELY TO THE EYE DOCTOR TO HAVE HIS EYES CHECKED AND FOUND OUT HIS VISION WAS 20/60 SO THEY HAD HIM FITTED FOR GLASSES! WE HAD TO HAVE TIM FITTED FOR GLASSES WHEN HE WAS IN THE 6TH GRADE! THAT’S WHEN WE FOUND OUT HE HAD A NYSTAGMUS (SP?) AND HAD TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO DALLAS 2-3 TIMES A WEEK FOR TREATMENT!~ ONE OF THE TREATMENTS THEY HAD US DO AT HOME WAS A FLASLIGHT WITH TWO HI-INTENSITY BULBS THAT FLASHED OUT OF SYNCHRONIZATION THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO STRENGTHEN THE EYE MUSCLES!
THERE ISN’T MUCH GOING ON DURING THE DAY AROUND HERE EXCEPT FOR WATCHING KONNER PUSH HALLEY JO UP THE HILL BETWEEN US AND KELLY’S ON HER TRIKE! HE GETS HER ALMOST TO THE DRIVEWAY AND STEPS ASIDE AND SHE GOES DOWN BACKWARDS AND HE STANDS THERE LAUGHING! I YELLED AT HIM THE OTHER DAY AND TOLD HIM TO BE CARFULL THAT SHE COULD GET HURT BUT, I SAW THEM DOING IT AGAIN A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER SO I JUST SHUT UP AND DECIDED TO LET GLENDA TKE CARE OF IT!
I RECEIVED THE SPECIAL SHOES THE VA ORDERED FOR ME ONLY THEY’E A SIZE 14 4 WIDE! I WAS SUPPRISED I COULD GET THEM ON AND THE FIT PRETTY GOOD! I WORE THEM TO THE VA FRIDAY AND DIDN’T HAVE ANY TROUBLE DRIVING OR WALKING! IT’S POSSIBLE WHEN I WAS FITTED FOR THE FIRST PAIR AND USED THE HI-DENSITY DRY FOAM IN A SHOE BOX I STEPPED IN TO GET THE IMPRESSION OF MY FEET THAT IT WASN’T THE WAY IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE! THIS TIME THEY HAD ME STAND ON THE TILE FLOOR AND USED THREE DEVICES, ONE FOR THE LENGTH, THE OTHER FOR THE WIDTH AND THE THIRD ONE FOR THE HEIGHT OF MY INSTEP! OH YEAH! THEY SENT ME TWO PAIR, ONE BROWN AND THE OTHER BLACK! I FIGURED THEY WOULD WANT ME TO WEAR THEM ON ALTERNATE DAYS SO THAT’S THE PROGRAM I’M SETTING UP! I’ WEAR MY OTHER WHITE SHOES ON SUNDAYS AND/OR OTHER DAYS!
SOMETIMES I SET OVER AT THE VA AND HEAR VETERANS COMPLAIN ABOUT THE CARE THEY’RE GETTING! I DON’T COMPLAIN ABOUT ANYTHING I GET FROM THE VA! I WAS SETTING THERE ONE DAY AND THIS ASSHOLE WAS BLOWING OFF ABOUT HOW HE COULD GET SO MUCH BETTER DOWN TOWN! I FINALLY ASKED HIM IF HE WAS AN OFFICER OR ENLISTED MAN! I WAS A CAPTAIN IN THE ARMY HE SAID! I TOLD HIM HE SOUNDED MORE LIKE A SECOND LOOIE, YOU KNOW, A 90 DAY WONDER! I ASKED HIM WHAT HE WAS COLMPLAINING ABOUT AND HE SAID NONE OF MY BUSINESS SO I SHUT UP BUT HE NEVER SAID ANOTHER WORD!
IF I HAD TO PAY FOR ALL THE THINGS THE VA HAS DONE FOR ME IT WOULD BE MORE THAN $250,000 AND THEY’VE NEVER REFUSED ANYTHING I’VE ASKED FOR!
THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.
