WEATHER; WARM, MED HUMIDITY, 81 DEGREES

I CAN’T SAY WHEN THIS CHRONICLE WILL GO OUT SINCE OUR INTERNET HAS BEEN DOWN ALL DAY SO, I’LL DO IT AND SEND IT TO GO OUT AND HOPE IT DOES SOMETIME DURING THE NIGHT!

GEE! ONE MONTH FROM TODAY LILLIAN AND I WILL BE MARRIED FOR 50 YEARS! HOW SHE STOOD IT I’LL NEVER KNOW?

NOT MUCH DOING TODAY, WE JUST LAID AROUND AND RELAXED, I MEAN I DID, MOM WAS BUSY DOING HER THINGS LIKE BAKING CAKE AND MAKING FRUIT BOWLS FOR ME US TO SNACK ON THEN AT 2:30 SHE HAD TO GO PICK UP HALEY JO AT PRE SCHOOL. WHEN THEY GOT HOME AND GAVE HALEY JO HER SNACK I GOT “SPONGE BOB” ON THE TV AND WENT TO SLEEP. WOKE UP IN TIME TO GO OUT ON THE DECK AND ENJOY SOME OF THE FANTASTIC WEATHER WERE HAVING AND PLAYED A LITTLE CATCH THE BALL WITH HALEY JO.

KELLY CAME HOME AND TOOK HALEY JO HOME AND WE GOT READY TO GO TO THE GOLDEN CORRAL FOR THE VETERANS DAY DINNER. THEY REALLY ROLL OUT THE RED CARPET FOR THE VETERANS HERE IN SHERMAN AND I UNDERSTAND ALL OVER THE COUNTRY! A FRIEND OF OURS, DAVID HAWLEY IS A DEPUTY SHERRIFF AND IS ALWAYS GLAD TO SEE US HE KEEPS THE PEACE AT A LOT OF DOINGS AROUND THE AREA. (I HAVE TO LOOK UP TO TALK TO HIM)! BUT HE’S A BIG TEDDY BEAR UNLESS YOU RYLE HIM UP.

WE MET A LADY AND HER YOUNG SON WHILE STANDING IN LINE IT TURNS OUT SHE WORKS AT THE DOMICILARY AT THE BONHAM VA HOSPITAL. WE HAD A REAL NICE VISIT WHILE EATING AND HER SON IS A VERY WELL MANNARED 13 YEAR OLD.

WE CAME HOME AND TURNED ON THE OLD TV TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON IN THE WORLD AND ALL THAT’S THERE WE CAN’T DO ANYTHING ABOUT SO WE WENT TO OUR LIST AND WATCHED A CRAFT SHOW. I REALLY LIKE THESE CRAFT SHOWS ALONG WITH THE DIY SHOWS AT LEAST YOUR MIND ISN’T BOMBARDED WITH KILLING AND FORENSIC SCENES OF THE HUMAN BODY IN DIFFERENT STAGES OF DEATH.

ENOUGH OF THAT NOW LETS DO SOME MORE OF THE PRISON JOKES;

IN PRISON YOU CAN WATCH TV AND PLAY GAMES

AT WORK YOU GET FIRED FOR WATCHING TV AND PLAYING GAMES

IN PRISON YOU GET YOUR OWN TOILET

AT WORK YOU HAVE TO SHARE WITH SOME IDIOT WHO PEES ON THE SEAT

IIN PRISON THE ALLOW YOU FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO VISIT

AT WORK YOU CAN’T EVEN SPEAK TO YOUR FAMILY

IN PRISON THE TAXPAYERS PAY ALL EXPENSES WITH NO WORK REQUIRED

AT WORK YOU GET TO PAY ALL THE EXPENSES TO GO TO WORK AND THEN THEY DEDUCT TAXES FROM YOUR SALARY TO PAY FOR PRISONERS

IN PRISON YOU SPEND MOST OF YOUR LIFE INSIDE THE BARS WAITING TO GET OUT

AT WORK YOU SPEND MOST OF YOUR TIME WAITING TO GET OUT AND GO TO A BAR

IN PRISON YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH SADISTIC WARDENS

AT WORK THEY’RE CALLED SUPERVISORS

NOW; ON A SCALE OF 1 TO 10 WHICH IS THE EASIER/BETTER KIND OF LIFE? BE HONEST YOU ONLY HAVE TO ANSWER TO YOUR SELF!

THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE

NOVEMBER 12^TH 2007

WEATHER; WARM, MED. HUMIDITY, 79 DEGREES

I HATE DAYS LIKE TODAY, NOTHING REALLY GOING ON EXCEPT FOOTBALL, TWO GAMES WE REALLY LIKE TO WATCH, THE PACKERS AND THE COWBOYS. THE PACKERS PLAYED ELI MANNING AND THE MINNOSOTA VIKINGS BUT I MUST SAY THE YOUNGER OF THE TWO MANNING BROTHERS GOT HIS TAIL WHIPPED BY BRETT FAVRE TODAY. 34 TO 0 GREEN BAY! I UNDERSTAND THE OLDER MANNING BOY HAD HIS WINGS CLIPPED BY SAN DIEGO 23 TO 21!

THE COWBOYS HAD THEIR WORK CUT OUT FOR THEM TAKING ON THE N.Y. GIANTS BUT ‘OLE TONY ROMO MADE BELIEVERS OUT OF THEM WITH THE HELP OF T.O. AND THE REST OF THE TEAM AND IT REALLY TAKES A TEAM EFFORT TO MAKE IT ALL COME OUT THE WAY YOU WANT IT TO, 31 TO 20!

THE GAME OF THE YEAR IS GOING TO BE ON THE 29^TH OF NOVEMBER, COWBOYS AND PACKERS! ON THIS DAY MOM AND I ARE ON OPPOSIT SIDES OF THE GAME TABLE BUT IT’S ALL IN FUN (I HOPE)! MOM IS VERY PROTECTIVE OF HER PACKERS AND NOBODY DARES TO ATTACK THEM, EVEN KELLY HAS LEARNED NOT TO ATTACK THE PACKERS ALTHOUGH HE STILL PRESSES HIS LUCK OCCASIONALLY!

AS YOU PROBABLY GUESSED WE DON’T WATCH NASCAR ANY LONGER, TO MUCH POLITICS AND RULE CHANGING IN THE MIDDLE OF A RACE (IT’S ALMOST THAT BAD)BUT, ANYHOW IT GOT TO A POINT THAT YOU COULD TELL WHO WAS GOING TO WIN BY LISTENING TO THE PRE RACE COMENTATORS! I DON’T LIKE WHAT NASCAR HAS DONE TO MICHAEL WALDRIP, HE AND HIS WIFE BUFFY HAVE NEVER RECOVERED FROM THE LOUSEY WAY THEY WERE TREATED OVER WHAT SOMEBODY ELSE DID TO ONE OF THEIR CARS. IT COST THEM EACH $100,000 IN FINES AND THE LOSS OF 100 POINTS EACH BEFORE THEY EVEN GOT TO THE STARTING LINE FOR THE FIRST RACE, FAIR IS FAIR BUT THIS WAS REDICULAS SO, WE WATCH FOOTBALL AND URL & OTHER OPEN WHEEL RACES AND PINKS!

IRONY

IN PRISON YOU SPEND THE MAJORITY OF YOUR TIME IN AN 8X10 CELL

AT WORK YOU SPEND MOST OF YOUR TIME IN A 6X8 CUBICLE

IN PRISON YOU GET THREE MEALS A DAY

AT WORK YOU ONLY GET A BREAK FOR ONE MEAL AND YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR IT

IN PRISON YOU GET TIME OFF FOR GOOD BEHAVIOR

AT WORK YOU GET MORE WORK FOR GOOD BEHAVIOR

IN PRISON THE GUARD UNLOCKS ALL THE DOORS FOR YOU

AT WORK YOU MUST CARRY AROUND A SECURITY CARD AND OPEN ALL THE DOORS YOURSELF

MORE TOMORROW

THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE

WEATHER; WARM, MED. HUMIDITY, 80 DEGREES

HEY! HEY! HEY! IT’S VETERANS DAY, THE CELEBRATIONS WILL BE ON MONDAY, MOM AND I BOTH BEING VETERANS GO TO THE GOLDEN CORRAL IN SHERMAN, TX. FOR DINNER! EVERY VETERANS DAY THEY SERVE A FREE MEAL TO ALL VETERANS! AND IT INCLUDES ALL THINGS ON THEIR BIG MENU, NO EXCEPTIONS! THIS TAKES PLACE AT ALL GOLDEN CORRAL FACILITIES NATION WIDE! SO IF YOU’VE NEVER TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS GREAT TRIBUTE TO THOSE WHO SERVED PLEASE DO, BY ATTENDING IT’S THE VETERANS WAY OF THANKING THEM FOR REMEMBERING US! IF YOU’RE A DISCHARGED VETERAN THIS IS FOR YOU THEY MAKE NO EXCEPTIONS!

MOM AND I TOOK ALL THE THINGS TIM NEEDS TO PUT THE INTREPID IN GOOD SHAPE FOR US SO WHEN WE GET IT WE SHOULDN’T HAVE TO WORRY EXCEPT TO PERFORM REGULAR MAINTENANCE WHICH WE DO ANYHOW! I PASSED UP ONE ITEM ON THE ’91 ACCLAIM THAT I SHOULD HAVE HAD CHANGED, THE ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP IN THE TANK AND IT COST US A 6 HR. DELAY ON OUR TRIP TO PHOENIX TO SEE PEGGY RACE AND OVER $600.00 COUNTING THE COST TO TOW US IN! I’M NOT SURE BUT I THINK WE GOT RE-EMBURSED FROM THE ROADSIDE EMERGENCY COMPANY ON THE TOWING! WE’LL CHANGE THE PUMP IN THE INTREPID AFTER WE GET IT HOME!

MOM AND I BOTH SAT IN THE INTREPID AND I STARTED IT, IT HAS BEEN SETTING OVER 3 MONTH AND STARTED AND RAN AS SMOOTH AS THE ’91 AFTER ABOUT 4 REVOLUTIONS WITH THE STARTER. NO SMOKE OR LIFTER CLICKING WHICH I WAS GLAD TO SEE/HEAR! IT’S NOT GREEN LIKE I THOUGHT IT’S A PRETY SHADE OF BLUE, THE INTERIOR IS IMMACULATE AND THE BODY LOOKS IN PERFECT SHAPE NO BROKE OR CHIPPED GLASS AND THE WINDOWS AND DOOR LOCKS WORK FINE AND NO POWER SEAT WHICH WE DON’T CARE, OUR SEAT JUST HAS TWO DIFFERENT SETTINGS, ALL THE WAY UP OR BACK! WE’RE REALLY GOING TO ENJOY IT!  YOU CAN TELL SOMEBODY REALLY TOOK GOOD CARE OF THIS CAR!

WE’RE BOTH COMING DOWN WITH COLDS SO I’LL CUT THIS SHORT AGAIN AND END WITH A FEW MORE TID BITS AND GET TO BED!

QUAKER OATS FOR FAST PAIN RELIEF, IT’S NOT FOR BREAKFAST ANYMORE! MIX 2 CUPS OF QUAKER OATS AND 1 CUP OF WATER IN A BOWEL AND WARM IN THE MICROWAVE FOR 1 MINUTE, COOL SLIGHTLY AND APPLY THE MIXTURE TO YOUR HANDS FOR SOOTHING RELIEF FROM ARTHRITIS PAIN.

WE HAD A VERY GOOD FRIEND WHO USED WD-40 EVERY MORNING BEFORE SHE COULD GET OUT OF BED! SHE WAS A LITTLE OLD BLACK LADY, 98YEARS OLD WHO TOOK  CARE OF HER GARDEN AND HOUSE TILL SHE DIED 3 YEARS AFTER WE MET HER! WE WEREN’T THERE WHEN SHE DIED BUT WERE TOLD THEY FOUND HER IN THE GARDEN HOLDING ON TO THE HOE! SHE PUT WD-40 ON HER KNEES, HANDS, ELBOS, FEET AND ANY WHERE ELSE SHE DEVELOPED A PAIN AND WE NEVER HEARD HER SAY ANYTHING ABOUT PAIN AS LONG AS SHE COULD USE THE WD-40! I KNOW, IF YOU CAN STAND THE SMELL IT’S OK BUT IT CAN BE OVER POWERING! I HAD A REAL BAD SPELL WITH ARTHRITIS IN MY RIGHT HAND ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO AND RUBBED SOME IN AND IT WORKED! SO TAKE THIS FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH!

THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.

WEATHER; WARM, FOGGY IN AM, HIGH HUMIDITY, 79 DEGREES

WE FINALLY PICKED UP THE TRANSMISSION FOR THE INTREPID TODAY THEN WENT TO AUTO-ZONE AND PICKED UP MOST OF THE THINGS TIM IS GOING TO NEED TO COMPLETE THE JOB. HE DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT THE MOTOR MOUNTS SINCE HE COULDN’T GET UNDR THE CAR WITHOUT A JACK. MY DAUGHTER PEGGY GAVE ME A JACK LIKE THEY USE IN NASCAR TO JACK UP THE CARS DURING THE PIT STOPS SO I’M TAKING IT TO TIM. SHE GAVE IT TO ME TWO CHRISTMASES AGO AND WE HAVE NEVER USED IT! I WANTED TO HANG IT ON THE WALL BUT MOM PUT AN END TO THAT THINKING, IT’S A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF EQUIPMENT SO WE MIGHT AS WELL GET SOME USE OUT OF IT, RIGHT PEGGY? TIMS ONLY PROBLEM, HE DOESN’T WANT TO BE THE ONE TO PUT THE FIRST SCRATCH ON IT, I TOLD HIM NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT!

MOM HAD TO PICK UP HALEY JO FROM SCHOOL AND TAKE HER TO THE DOCTOR BECAUSE OF THE RUNNY NOSE. THEY GAVE HER A PRESCRIPTION AND MOM BROUGHT HER HOME, THIS WAS AT 1:30 SO IT DIDN’T MAKE SENCE TO TAKE HER BACK TO SCHOOL! I HOPE SHE GETS BETTER BY MONDAY!

 

WE HAVEN’T HAD TIME TO WORK ON THE DECK WITH ALL THE RUNNING WE’VE BEEN DOING BUT HOPE TO GET BACK ON IT NEXT WEEK! I’M NOT FEELING TOO GOOD TONIGHT SO I’LL CLOSE WITH SOME MORE TID BITS!

KILLS FLEAS INSTANTLY. DAWN DISH WASHING LIQUID DOES THE TRICK. A FEW DROPS IN YOUR DOGS BATH WATER AND SHAMPOO THE ANIMAL THOUROUGHLY. RINSE WELL TO AVOID SKIN IRRITATIONS. GOOD-BYE FLEAS!

RAINY DAY CURE FOR DOG ODOR, NEXT TIME YOUR DOG COMES IN FROM THE RAIN SIMPLY WIPE THE ANIMAL DOWN WITH BOUNCE OR ANY DRYER SHEET INSTANTLY  MAKING YOUR DOG SMELL SPRINGTIME FRESH.

ELIMINATE EAR MITES ALL IT TAKES IS A FEW DROPS OF WESSON CORN OIL IN THE CATS EAR. MASSAGE IT IN THEN, CLEAN WITH A COTTON BALL REPEAT DAILY FOR 3 DAYS. THE OIL SOOTHES THE CATS SKIN, SMOTHERS THE MITES AND ACCELERATES HEALING.

THAT’S “30”FOR THIS ISSUE.

NOVEMBER 9^TH 2007

WEATHER; WARM, LOW HUMIDITY, 74 DEGREES

MOM HAD TO TAKE GLENDA, KELLYS FRIEND TO WORK THIS MORNING, HER CAR WOULDN’T START. WHEN KELLY GOT HOME HE CHECKED IT OUT AND SAID THE BATTERY WAS DEAD SO HE PUT IT ON CHARGE. THIS IS USUALLY CAUSED BY SOMETHING BEING LEFT ON OR THE BATTERY FAILS, NO WATER IS THE MOST COMMON OF REASONS! THE POOR BATTERY AND THE TIRES ARE THE ONES THAT GET THE LEAST ATTENTION TILL THEY LET YOU DOWN THEN ALL THE EXCUSES START COMING; “BUT I JUST CHECKED THE BATTERY TWO MONTH AGO” OR “I NEVER NOTICED THE RIGHT REAR TIRE WAS LOW SINCE I NEVER GO BACK THERE”! THIS IS WHY MOST OF THE 2007-08 CARS OFFER AN ACCESSORY THAT TELLS YOU WHEN THE BATTERY WATER IS LOW AND ONE OF THE TIRES IS LOW OF COURSE YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THE DASH ONCE IN A WHILE TO SEE THE RED LIGHTS GLOWING!

I COULD GO ON AND LIST ALL THE EXCUSES I’VE HAD TOLD TO ME IN MY 50+  YEARS AS A MECHANIC, IT WOULD FILL TWO VOLUMNS!

WE WENT TO R&D SALVAGE AND PAID FOR THE TRANSMISSIOIN FOR THE INTREPID TODAY! THEY HAVE TO PULL IT SINCE I ASKED FOR A FRESH ONE, I DIDN’T WANT SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN SETTING ON A SHELF FOR A YEAR! WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO PICK IT UP TOMORROW THEN WE’LL GO TO AUTO ZONE AND GET THE REST OF THE THINGS TIM IS GOING TO NEED AND TAKE IT ALL DOWN TO HIM SATURDAY! THE ONLY THING WE’RE NOT SURE ABOUT ARE, THE MOTOR MOUNTS AND HE’S CHECKING THEM TONIGHT! HE AND KELLY ARE PLANNING ON MAKING THE CHANGE OVER THE THANKSGIVING HOLLIDAYS WHEN THEY’RE BOTH OFF!

I’VE BEEN WORKING ON MY 2^ND BOOK WHEN I HAVE TIME SO FAR I HAVE 3 FULL CHAPTERS COMPLETED AND ALMOST THE 4^TH ONE! IT’S CALLED “TIME FREEZE” AND SO FAR IT READS PRETTY GOOD TO ME, OF COURSE I’M WRITING IT SO WHAT ELSE DO YOU THINK I’D SAY? LOL!

I’M STILL WAITING FOR TIM TO FINISH PUTTING MY 1^ST BOOK “FIRE IN THE TUBE” ON DVD BUT, HE REALLY HAS MORE THAN HE CAN SAY GRACE OVER SO I DON’T MIND WAITING!

HERE ARE SOME MORE TID BITS;

COCA COLA CURE FOR RUST, FORGET THOSE EXPENSIVE RUST REMOVERS. JUST SATURATE AN ABRASIVE SPONGE WITH COCA COLA AND SCRUB THE RUST STAIN, THE PHOSPHORIC ACID IN THE COKE IS WHAT GETS THE JOB DONE.

HUNTS TOMATO PASTE  BOIL CURE, COVER THE BOIL WITH HUNTS TOMATO PASTE AS A COMPRESS. THE ACIDS IN THE TOMATOES SOOTHES THE PAIN AND BRINGS THE BOIL TO A HEAD.

BALM FOR BROKEN BLISTERS, TO DISINFECT A BROKEN BLISTER DAB ON A FEW DROPS OF LISTERINE A POWERFUL ANTISEPTIC.

HEINZ VINEGAR TO HEAL BRUISES, SOAK A COTTON BALL IN WHITE VINEGAR AND APPLY IT TO THE BRUISE FOR 1 HOUR. THE VINEGAR REDUCES THE BLUENESS AND SPEEDS UP THE HEALING PROCESS.

VASELINE CURE FOR HIAR BALLS, TO PREVENT TROUBLESOME HAIR BALLS  APPLY A DOLLOP OF VASELINE PATROLEUM JELLY TO THE CATS NOSE. THE CAT WILL LICK OFF THE JELLY LUBRICATING ANY HAIR IN ITS STOMACH SO IT CAN PASS EASILY THROUGH THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM.

THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.

NUMBER 8 VOL 4

NOVEMBER 8^TH 2007

WEATHER; COOL, LOW HUMIDITY, 63 DEGREES

GOT UP THIS MORNING AND SAW WE HAD HALEY JO AGAIN! MOM HAD TO GO TO TOWN AND WHEN SHE GOT BACK PUT HALEY JO DOWN FOR HER NAP. WE GOT HER UP ABOUT 2:00 AND GOT READY AND WENT TO HOME DEPOT AGAIN TO LOOK AT WHAT THEY HAVE IN UNDERPINNING? WE’LL DECIDE WHAT WE’RE GOING TO DO NEXT WEEK. WE TOOK HALEY JO OVER TO SEE ALL THE CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS THEY HAVE ON DISPLAY. YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN HER EYES, LIKE SAUCERS. SHE REALLY LIKED A PINK AND WHITE ROCKING HORSE BUT THE OTHER THING WILL MAKE HER DREAM TONIGHT ABOUT CHRISTMAS I KNOW IT USED TO MAKE ME DREAM WHEN I WAS A KID AND MY MOM WOULD TAKE ME TO SEARS AND THE BROADWAY HOLLYWOOD! OF COURSE I MADE IT TO THE TOY DEPARTMENT.

IN MY HOME TOWN OF NORTH HOLLYWOOD THEY HAD A DEPT. STORE CALLED RATHBURNS, NOW THOSE PEOPLE REALLY KNEW HOW TO PUT UP A TOY DEPT, TRAINS, BIKES, WAGONS, PUPPET SHOW, COWBOY MOVIE STARS WOULD BE THERE TO HOLD THE LITTLE ONES AND OF COURSE THEY HAD A SANTS CLAUSE. AFTER YOU WENT AND SAT ON HIS LAP YOU GOT A RED SUCKER THAT TASTED LIKE LIQUORICE, I’LL NEVER FORGET THAT TASTE!

THEY HAD A DRAWING OUT IN THE ALLEY BEHIND THE STORE EVERYDAY, MY SISTER MADELYNE TOOK ME ONE YEAR AND I WON A RED WAGON, BOY, WAS I POPPING MY BUTTONS AS I PULLED IT BACK TO THE CAR!

THE ONE THING I REALLY MISS AT SEARS IS THE BIG TRAIN LOYOUTS THEY USED TO PUT UP. I DON’T THINK THEY EVEN SELL TRAINS ANYMORE WHAT A WASTE, IF IT ISN’T AN IPOD OR M-3 THE KIDS DON’T WANT IT!

I’M NOT SURE BUT I THINK THEY HAVE A TRAIN DISPLAY AT MID WAY MALL, I KNOW THEY DID 3-4 YEARS AGO, I’LL HAVE TO CHECK IT OUT!

SPEAKING OF TRAINS, TWO YEARS AGO I SAW A SMALL TRAIN THAT CLAMPED ON THE CHRISTMAS TREE TRUNK ABOUT HALF WAY UP A 6’ TREE, IT WAS ABOUT AN “N” GAGE TRAIN THAT RAN ON BATTERIES, IT WAS BIG ENOUGH IN DIAMETER TO STICK OUT PAST THE LIMBS! I WENT BACK TO HOME DEPOT LAST YEAR AND WAS TOLD I MISSED THE LAST ONE BY ONE DAY BUT IF I’D COME BY AT THE END OF SEPTEMBR THIS YEAR I MIGHT BE ABLE TO PICK ONE UP. I DID AND WAS TOLD THEY DIDN’T ORDER ANY THIS YEAR. SO, IF ANY OF YOU SEE ONE OF THESE TRAINS PLEASE GET IT FOR ME, THEY COST $29.95 AT THE HOME DEPOT IN SHERMAN, IF THEY WANT MORE THAN THAT PLEASE EMAIL ME BEFORE YOU BUY IT AT HOWARD@MAHONEY-RANCH.COM

A FEW MORE TID BITS.

LISTERINE THERAPY FOR TOENAIL FUNGUS GET RID OF UNSIGHTLY TOENAIL FUNGUS BY SOAKING YOUR TOES IN LISTERINE MOUTHWASH. THE POWERFUL ANTISEPTIC LEAVES YOUR TOENAILS LOOKING HEALTHY AGAIN.

EASY EYE GLASS PROTECTION… TO PREVENT THE SCREWS IN EYEGLASSES FROM LOOSENING, APPLY A SMALL DROP OF MAYBELLINE CRYSTAL CLEAR NAIL POLISH OR ANY CLEAR NAIL POLISH TO THE THREADS OF THE SCREWS BEFORE TIGHTENING THEM.

CLEANING LIQUID THAT DOUBLES AS BUG KILLER…IF MENACING BEES, WASPS, HORNETS OR YELLOW JACKETS GET IN YOUR HOUSE AND YOU CAN’T FIND THE INSECTICIDE, TRY A SPRAY OF FORMULA 409, INSECTS DROP TO THE FLOOR INSTANTLY

SMALL SPLINTER REMOVER… JUST POUR A DROP OF ELMERS GLUE ALL OVER THE SPLINTER, LET DRY, AND PEEL THE DRIED GLUE OFF THE SKIN THE SPLINTER STICKS TO THE DRIED GLUE. WORKS FINE FOR LITTLE ONES, NO NEEDLE AND STICKING TO DIG THE SPLINTER OUT! AND YOU SAVE A QUARTER YOU’D HAVE TO PAY THE LITTLE ONE FOR HURTING THEIR FINGER, FOOT, BEHIND.

THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.

WEATHER; COOL, LOW HUMIDITY, 59 DEGREES

NOT MUCH DOING TILL IT WARMED UP A LITTLE, COLLEEN AND DICK CAME BY AND SPENT ABOUT AN HOUR, WE SAT OUT ON THE DECK AND REALLY HAD A NICE VISIT!

WHEN THEY LEFT MOM AND I WENT OUT AND PULLED THE ALUMINUM UNDER PINNING FROM UNDER THE HOUSE AND PUT UP ALL WE HAD, TOMORROW WE’LL PROBABLY GO TO HOME DEPOT AND SEE WHAT THEY HAVE, WE NEED ABOUT 75 MORE FEET. WHEN IT’S DONE IT SHOULD REALLY CUT DOWN ON THE ELECTRIC USAGE, THE HOUSE IS REALLY WELL INSULATED AND WE HAVE BEEN HEATING IT WITH SMALL CERAMIC HEATERS ALONG WITH ONE WE BOUGHT LAST YEAR THAT LOOKS LIKE AN OLD FASHIONED WOOD BURNER BUT THE ELECTRIC HEATER IS UNDERNEATH WITH A SQUIRREL CAGE BLOWER! I’D LIKE TO GET THE NEXT SIZE UP BUT, WE’LL SEE! MIKE HAD A SOLID METAL ROOF WITH INSULATION BETWEEN IT AND THE ORIGINAL ROOF PUT ON BEFORE THEY MOVED TO HONEYGROVE, TX.

WE HAD HALEY JO AGAIN SHE STILL HAD A LITTLE RUNNY NOSE. WE’LL HAVE TO SEE IN THE MORNING HOW SHE IS. SHE ISN’T ANY TROUBLE BUT WE HAVE TO PLAN OUR DAY AROUND HER. HAVING HER IN THE AFTERNOON ALLOWS US TO GET DONE WHAT WE NEED TO BEFORE 2:30 WHEN WE HAVE TO PICK HER UP AT PRE-SCHOOL!

HEARD FROM BILL MASON YESTERDAY, HE AND BEV HAD A GREAT TIME THIS PAST WEEK IN El PASO, THAT’S WHERE BEV LIVES! SHE HAD GONE TO NORTHRIDGE CALIFORNIA TO VISIT BILL WHERE HE LIVES TWO WEEKS AGO! THEY REALLY SEEM TO ENJOY EACH OTHERS COMPANY! I KNOW BILL RESPECTS BEV AND HER WISHES AND THE SAME THING GOES FOR BEV. SHE SAID SHE NEVER HAD ANYBODY DO THE THINGS FOR HER THAT BILL DOES! I’VE KNOWN BILL FOR OVER 60 YEARS AND THAT’S THE WAY HE IS, ALWAYS A GENTLEMAN BUT DON’T CROSS OR TRY TO HURT HIM, YOU WILL COME OUT ON THE SHORT END OF THE STICK AS A FEW BUT, VERY FEW PEOPLE HAVE FOUND OUT!

OK, NOW FOR SOMEMORE TID BITS;

ACHY MUSCLES FROM A BOUT WITH THE FLU?   MIX 1 TABLESPOON OF HORSERADISH IN A CUP OF OLIVE OIL. LET THE MIXTURE SIT FOR 30 MINUTES, THEN APPLY IT AS A  MASSAGE FOR INSTANT RELIEF FOR ACHING MUSCLES.

SORE THROAT?  MIX ¼ CUP OF VINEGAR WITH ¼ CUP OF HONEY AND TAKE 1 TABLESPOON SIX TIMES A DAY. THE VINEGAR KILLS THE BACTERIA.

CURE URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS WITH ALKA-SELTZER. JUST DISSOLVE TWO TABLETS IN A GLASS OF WATER AND DRINK IT AT THE ONSET OF THE SYMPTOMS. ALKA-SELTZER BEGINS ELIMINATING URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS ALMOST INSTANTLY—EVEN THOUGH THE PRODUCT WAS NEVER ADVERTISED FOR THIS USE.

HONEY REMEDY FOR SKIN BLEMISHES… COVER THE BLEMISH WITH A DAB OF HONEY AND PLACE A BAND-AID OVER IT. THE HONEY KILLS THE BACTERIA, KEEPING THE SKIN STERILE AND, SPEEDS HEALING, WORKS OVERNIGHT.

THAT’S “30 FOR THIS ISSUE.
