Happy Halloween

Just catching up

Did you see this? Poor little donkey :-) I saw in on my yahoo this morn.

Back to Story - HelpFirefighters save donkey trapped in well Fri Sep 14, 9:36 PM ET
A donkey is happily eating grass again after falling down a dry, abandoned
well and being freed in an intensive rescue effort. It appeared that the
animal wandered away from its farm and onto some boards covering the well,
which broke, said Bruce Huseth, fire chief in this western Minnesota town.
Firefighters quickly realized that the animal, which belongs to farmer
Warren Gundberg, couldn't just be pulled from the abandoned well on Bryan
Nelson's land.
So they started pulling away earth with a tractor and dismantling the well
block by block Thursday. Once one wall had been taken apart, firefighters
put a harness around the donkey and guided it out with a rope.
"Whatever it takes," Nelson said as he watched his well come down. "I love
animals, and I'm just glad it's OK."
Gundberg admonished the animal after the rescue: "I bet you'll think twice
about doing that again. If you would have stayed home you wouldn't be in
this trouble."
Huseth said that he has rescued cows that have fallen through ice, but that
the donkey was a first.

Have a great week-end!

Just popped in to say..

Have a nice Memorial Day

Happy Summer

Schools out or almost out. Congrats to all the grads out there. I should have been a teacher; Summer vacations and holidays off. I have been thinking of quitting my job, maybe they'll hire me in the school cafe or something. I think around here you have to start as a call in and that would'nt work. OK, scratch that idea :-(

My vacation is over. I go back to work in the morning. I've been working there almost 18 years and am sick of it. These last couple of months have been a total BITCH. I said I was going job hunting on vacation but didn't do it. I spent most of it working on my auctions and store. Still not finished but I'm edited out. I tried to put something on here but I don't think it worked. The link don't work. Don't feel like messing with it right now.

I did get to see my little grandsons last week-end. Hadn't seen them since January. Now I probably won't see them til October. I see them about 3 times a year.

OK, did my May post. I'll try that code again tomorrow. I can't put ads on my site anymore since I lost it, (domain expired) so I'm using my blog more. I don't know if I'm going to renew it or not.

OK, if anyone pops up, have a great week.

My April Post

Seems I only make it here once a month anymore. There's just not enough hours in a day to do all I want to do. I'm sure a lot of us have that problem..too much on your plate. Some days after work, I feel beat up. My job is pretty physical and stressful and I'm not getting any younger.Thats where all my energy goes. I say I'm going to do this or do that when I get off but it never gets all done :-( I've been ebaying and working on the next yard sale and trying to get to my store and add some things, I need to place some ads, clean house, pay bills, feed pets, take Mama to her appts., tend to the rent houses...I need a "SCREAM" smiley :-)

Speaking of screaming, I got an email telling me about a lady that bought a pot plant. I think it was at a grocery store. Anyway, she decides she wants to transplant it and when she started getting it out of its original container, something moved..

2 baby copper heads had hatched in there. I had bought Mama some flowers for Easter and after I read that, I sat her flowers on the porch. :-) I never thought of that. We stick our fingers in them sometimes to check if they need water.

I killed one - a snake - not a Copper head last week. Sometimes when they empty my garbage, the lid comes off and I have to bend it real hard to get it to pop back on. It was raining on garbage day so I laid the can down til I could get the lid back on and it wouldn't fill up with rain. The next day when I picked it up to put the garbage in, the snake was under it. I started chasing it with my limb cutters, and when I hit it the first time, it raised its head like it was looking around. I thought Oh s---!, its looking for me so I kept on swinging and hitting it til it was dead. I picked it up with the cutters and put it in my trash can. I wonder if the garbage man got a surprise when he opened my can this time. That il teach em not to break my lid, huh?:-)

OK, enough about snakes. I'm going to give myself night mares.

________________________________________________________________

On a more serious side, it was awful what happened in VA. this week. Our thoughts and prayers are with the friends and families having to deal with it.

___________________________________________________________________

Its already 6:p.m. Better get my chores done. 3:00 a.m. rolls around in a hurry.

Just in case anyone pops up...Have a great day or night or whatever it is.

Better than nothing

I started this in my " Word "and forgot to post it Thursday. O well :-)
Yelp, rained on my yard sale. It wasn’t a total loss though. I had put an ad in the paper that said “cancel if raining, ”which I shouldn’t have because we decided to arrange it in my 2 rent houses inside. They are both vacant right now. We put some signs up and managed to get a few people. I made around $30.00. Better than nothing, huh? We’re going to try it again in a couple of weeks. Actually, we're going to start doing them more often. I've been looking for cheap stuff and telling my friends if they want to get rid of their junk to bring it to me. I like doing stuff like that anyway.

My vacation is flying by. I go back to work Monday morning and my dept will be a wreck. Always is on Monday morning but it will be worse this time since I’m not working Saturday. I love my job, I love my job:-( I know, I know, better be glad I have one, right?

I didn't get to see my grandsons this vacation because they went to OK. I'll see them next vacation in May for my youngest one's first birthday. I need to start thinking about what to get him. They have so much, its hard deciding what to get, but I'll come up with something.

Time to get busy with my internet chores. I've been adding new items to my Qshop if anyone cares to take a look. I just have about 2000 items left to go.:-)

That's my scoop for the day.

Have a great day!

Sunday 2 -11 - 07

I said in one of my previous post that I needed to find my directions to put my links back on. I found them and was going to put them back on and..you guessed it. I don't need those directions anymore. Just filled in the blanks. I like it when they make it easy for people like me:-)
I've been on the internet today so long, my shoulders hurt. I was determined to catch up on my ads ..my internet chores. I didn't really catch up but made a little head way. It never ends anyway unless I end it.
I'm going to give my pc, shoulders, and brain a break.

cyl, Tere

Happy New Year Bloggers!

I see I missed a holiday..I didn't tell you Merry Christmas. Ok, new years resolution: Do something with this blog!.lol..I think I said that last year :-(

Somewhere in my stack of tablets and notes, I have directions on how to put my links on here. That would be a start. I accidently deleted everything when I decided I wanted a new look.

I also need to decide what to give up. I'm trying to do too many things and accomplishing nothing but frustration. Did I mention the interruptions! gotta go!

Happy Thanksgiving

Thought I would check to see if I still had a blog. I'm going to have to take blog lessons. When I first got this blog, I was posting almost everyday. Now its almost every holiday. The only time I can think of a title :-) That's not the only reason--I've been pretty busy. I'm going to put my blog on my list of things to do, or redo.
For now, if anyone pops up, have a Happy Thanksgiving or a great week depending on where you're from. I forget not everyone is in the US.

CYA

Happy Labor Day!

I think Labor day will be over by the time this posts but hope you had a good one anyway. I worked today and again Monday. I don't take Monday holidays very often. If I'm off more than a day, my department looks like Rita struck again. Since I lost my helper, I started taking Sundays and Wednesdays off. I miss my week-ends off but I also like that break in the middle of the week so either way is ok.
I just realized I haven't posted since June. Been busy working on my sites, ads, rent houses, and my job, ofcourse.
I'm putting another link on for my latest program I joined. Then hopefully I'll have my web page done soon. Still workin on those words:-)

by4now,

Tere

Are you practicing safe cleaning?

Thought I was going to say something else, huh? :-) I was playing around with my ads yesterday and came up with that. No, I didn't use it. Sounded sort of tacky. I placed some ads for my Veruni store using ad words. Its hard coming up with the right words sometimes. I'll place an ad or link somewhere and want to grab my computer and shake it and say;"DO SOMETHING! One minute I think, "don't give up", then the next I say "forget it." I guess all that comes with the territory.
I'm watching America's got Talent. Some of them are pretty good at what they do. Some should have stayed home. I wouldn't have the guts to get up there in front of everyone and do some of the stunts some of them did. Some of it is funny though.
Time for Law and Order. cya
Oh, btw, (if anyone actually pops up), Have a good 4th of July.

Congrats Grads and happy Fathers Day

I figured I would'nt be back before father's day so I titled it for both. I bet there's a lot of grads here. (or both :-)) My friend sent me this and ofcourse i have to put it on my blog. Some of you may not appreciate it now, but just wait. OK, here it is:http://parentswish.com/
Have a great week-end.

A little corny but cute

Subject: Dear Diary

Last year I replaced all the windows in my house with those expensive double pane energy efficient kind. But today I got a call from the contractor who installed them. He was complaining that the work had been completed a whole year ago and I hadn't paid for them.

Hellloooo? Now just because I'm blonde doesn't mean that I am automatically stupid. So, I told him just what his fast talking sales guy had told ME last year...namely, that in just ONE YEAR these windows would pay for themselves! Helllooooo? It's been a year!

There was only silence at the other end of the line, so I finally just hung up.... He didn't call back. Guess I won that stupid argument.

Yep, I'm up to my old jokes again:-)

Have a great Memorial Day.

My new grandson

I'm having a little trouble with my pictures. I wanted to see if they come out here like they do on my journal. Way too big. I got my first dig camera for christmas so I'm still learning. OK, here goes...

Staying busy

Work is back to normal now. I've back to working on the old house, studying my internet courses and tending to my store. Then the everyday things.

I like learning internet marketing, html, etc but it does get a little confusing sometimes, and frustrating. Hopefully it will be worth it later on.

I'm going to get out the luggage today to start packing. Then get my car checked and filled with gas this week. I may have already mentioned it, but I have another grandson due any day. Supposed to be around the 12th. We were lucky when the first one was born. My son called me at work around 8 a.m. and we were there by 2:00. The weather was good, the traffic wasn't too bad, and I only made one wrong turn:-) This time I think I remember where the hospital is. I'll get my son to refresh my memory.
I haven't seen my son or grandson since December. Sure miss them. Soon I'll be missing 2 grandsons.

That was the only good thing about the hurricane. I spent 2 weeks with them. We had decided if the houses were destroyed, we were moving up there. I was glad the damages weren't too bad but I wouldn't have minded living closer to them.

Think I'll go out for a smoke and decide what I'm going to do first...pack, study,clean house, tend to my store? ok, cyl

Good Friday

I have the day off today. First day off in about 2 weeks. Had inventory at work. Each year it seems harder than the one before. OK, not a spring chick anymore:-) When I work like that, it makes me tired but at the same time it motivates me to work harder at home on my sites. I finally got around to joining another affiliate program. I put the link on yesterday but its not there yet. I'll try again if its not there tomorrow.
I'm working on my Bidchaser Store today. I haven't done much to it lately because they were having problems with the program or programers. That's all corrected and seems to be functioning well now. We just need to get some more shoppers there.
Someday I'm going to get it right. I have a lot of plans and ideas to improve my skills on the net. Finding more time is one problem. Then ofcourse, money. I need to learn to use them both more wisely.
byw, I don't know if my last 2 "commenters"(?) will pop up again. I removed the post they left and no, I'm not interested. I would rather have no visitors than those.
Alright, time to go. Happy Easter.

March 9, 06

Its been a month since my last post so I thought I'd post a little something so I wouldn't lose my blog. Some day I'm going to decide what to do with it. Not until I get a better computer and can think. I know if I want visitors I need to come up with something interesting or worth reading.

I'm still busy working on my old house, then its tax time. That's always fun:-(
Between house hunting, moving, computer crashing and "Rita", didn't do much business last year. At least there won't be much to report.

Ok, better get to work. cya

No Comment

Nope, no comment. I have to come check sometimes, just in case. I need to change and update again. I've moved since I posted my profile and only have 2 spoiled dogs now and 1 cat. Unless I count the old alley cat I've been feeding. He pops up early in the morning before I go to work and comes back in the evening to eat. I'm a softy, what can I say?
I'm still working on the old house almost every day. Its looking pretty good if I can say so myself. I'm getting ready to redo the cabinets in the kitchen. That will probably take a week or so.
My son turns 33 today. I'll have to give him a call sometime today. He's off with an injured foot. Was chasing a prowler or burglar and stepped in a hole. He hurts that foot often since he broke it in the acadamy.
Time to go to work. bye4now

Wasting time

it turns out I wasn't the only one who screwed up that day. I hated to go back to work Monday but I guess misery loves company and I was kind of glad I wasn't the only one. Like I said, "I'll do better next time."
My renter's girlfriend came over yesterday evening and talked to me about renting the old house. He thought I already had someone, which I did, but he lost his job so can't rent it. I told her they could but I still had some work to do in it. Someone else at work is interested in the little house when they move out of it so hopefully I'll have them both rented soon. He was always good about paying what he owed in the lil house and helping out so I think it will be alright. There's not going to be any working for the rent anymore. If he does anything I'll pay him then. It was a hassle keeping up with what he did and what to deduct from the rent.
I'm thinking in about 5 years, I'll sell this place with all 3 houses. There's a lot to do by then. I'm shooting for 5 years, anyway.
Its 6AM already and Mama's up so I better get this day started. bye4now

Feel like a Heel

Good thing I can't be voted off at work. There's probably a few others that wish that too. We had our inspection yesterday and I didn't do so well. When its over they give the whole store a score. Thanks to me we got a 91. Management was happy with it but I usually get 100 in my dept and got an 80. I had been working over every day so everything would be just right. When they were checking me ,it was going just fine; my books were right, my hazardous claims were all right but in one of my boxes I scanned 1 item twice when I only had one, then another I scanned once and I had 2. I have really been kicking myself. My friends at work said its human to make mistakes, that I was tired and kept getting interupted. I knew I was tired so I should had concentrated better. My helper has been sick for 2 weeks so I've been doing it all. I can't help think what our score could have been.:-( I'll do better next time. One of my bosses sent someone for me to go see her outside. I thought, "outside?" It was for me to give her an answer to one of the questions they ask..Whew! She's never chewed me out but there's always a first time.
I'm off today because I worked too many hours. They don't like OT. A lot of good it did. Now thats enough whining! Not sure what all I'm going to do today. If it doesn't rain, I'll go paint; if it does rain, I'll...clean house or something.
My renter is moving out. Don't know when but he's getting married for the 5th time. I wished him luck and told him I would miss my handyman and front porch chats. So, Ill be getting 2 houses ready to rent. Time 4asmoke, bye.
