meh...

so much lately....

winter coming and knowing my daughter wont be back from Massachusetts before it sets in...

a persistent ankle injury that is keeping me out of the woods at my favorite time of year...

my bosses....I'm not feeling the love any more...

Not getting at least one trick or treater!

The way my hair looks after laying down while it was still wet. Horrifying. :|

I'm still trying to make sense of how the Mets gave away the World Series last night :(

That I couldn't be left alone for one fucking hour today..just one hour to be left, ALONE!..:bath:


Rule num.1

That I didn't hear back from one of the jobs I applied to.

Disappointed
 

I have a friend that is in a real jam but I don't have the resources to help her. I wish that I knew how to help her or could suggest some resources. I feel kind of helpless.

:deepthoughts:

That my best friend isn't being very supportive of my mid-life crisis choice. I admit I made a mistake, I own it, I'm trying to fix it. Sheesh, what more can I do???? LOL, I guess she is just giving me some tough love which I guess I need.

Throw it out there to our community Chad...we have a lot of great thinkers here!

Thank you Ms. Tinkerbelly, I am thinking about it.

Disappointed
 

I forgot to put sun block on so now I am red.



:tanning:

My reaction to a friend. I thought I could ignore her negativity but I let it get to me......:|

Disappointed
 

I woke up in the dark stretched then rolled over to cuddle with the baby kitty just to have the alarm go off at 5:00 am. We were both disappointed.


:rollcat:

The weather! It was supposed to be super hot today, and it was, just not at the beach we were at. Lots of fog, and wind. Not a great beach going time.

A text from a friend early this morning.

Matt Lauer...... :(

I'm not surprised at all Dee. I was just telling my daughter Cassandra I wonder when his dirt laundry is gonna be exposed. His ego got the better of him all threw his marriage.

Yes and his wife Annette has probably had enough...

That Ann Curry more than likely DIDN'T do a 'happy dance' when she heard the news about Lauer! She's way to much of a class act for that!

I would be disappointed if at least a smile didn't cross her face!

well she just lost every woman's respect ~ Angela is jealous cause she couldn't dress sexy.

when I read about Trump getting back on the Obama birth certificate witchhunt again ... geez, we have North Korea testing another missle and Trump is having to get on that obsession boat

Any and all news about Trump makes me scared.Thinking he was dropped on his head as a baby and it caused his mind to be uneven. (that was my nicest way of putting it so far, anybody notice I did not use the f word or any other special words this time when talking about Trump???? ) Just don't get used to it. Our president sickens me!

He is just a demented loon but a very dangerous one. He has the power to make our world even more treacherous. I am profoundly disapointed in Republicans in the Congress and Senate that want to hold onto their power so badly that they allow this behavior from him, without a word of reproach. The only ones that have said anything are those not seeking reelection in 2018.

Some of his Tweets are simply insane.

Disappointed me today? More like he revolts and disgusts me every single day.

agree with girl_dee

~ocean sure is bad but so funny! (cracked me up! Heh Heh!)

My stepdaughter, as usual. And her grown children who are following the same sad path as their Mother. Very disappointing and upsetting to my spouse and me also.

Just very let down right now.

I have been cutting down pine trees today with my Black Friday saw. So sweet! Having a fabulous go at it

Who could know everything could turn to shit so rapidly?

One bad cut has ruined the rest of the afternoon. I went in too deep ... the tree pinched the bar and chain. It was difficult getting it out. I mean my poor little Black Friday chainsaw was helpless, just hanging in the tree while I went to retrieve tools to remove it.The tree started falling toward me after I put a wedge in there and began tapping with a sledge hammer. I had been holding my new little saw as I tapped but when the tree was coming my way, I let go of the chainsaw and dove away. It hit the dirt. I have cleaned it but am almost afraid to crank it ... possibility it may have taken on some sand when it hit the ground. Chainsaws do not like sand.

And after all that, the damn tree is stuck about 90 feet up on another tree. It won't fall by itself

I am beat. There's less than an hour of daylight left. Tomorrow I will hook the tow strap to the tree, attach the strap to my truck and we'll say Bye Bye to this aggravating pine tree.

More optimistic about the incident late yesterday afternoon. I only lost a couple of hours work while it was still daylight. And after cranking the chainsaw, I see it is fine. I was tired yesterday upset about the hold-up is all.

This morning I have re-evaluated the mess I left yesterday with the tree caught up in another tree's branches. It'll be a non-quiz to get that tree down. I do need to quit getting so cocky with outdoor machinery though. When I am having a good time and things are going well, I notice I go too far with it, push my luck. Yesterday I knew I was cutting in too deep with that one cut but thought I would just hurry things along. I now see what happens to me with that mindset. Last night I recalled summer of 2016 when I was having a party with that GroundHog auger I rented from Home Depot. I went too deep (knew better) and buried the auger tight. It was like buried in concrete ... took half a day to dig it out in scorching heat and over the top humidity. I know I do not want to end up in a youtube DUMB-ASS EPIC FAIL LUMBERJOCKING video. LOL ! I wonder if there is anyone else here who does things like this.

I will take out the limb late afternoon because yesterday was supposed to be only day of weekend to work outside. I must do indoor work today when I get back from buying groceries and getting a haircut. Now I wish I had done housework, bought groceries and gotten haircut yesterday. I despise working indoors. It makes me feel trapped. :( But I seriously need to quit whining about it or hire a housekeeper.

1-800- hire someone helloooooooooo

Hey RockOn, I am in the same position and need to give in and hire a home cleaning company.

Please be careful with that hard core tree removal. Think about having a spotter for those big jobs. I would hate it if you got hurt alone. I use my mom as a spotter. She can't help but she can dial 911.

Ya what Chad said! You're way out in god's country and unless one of your dogs in the reincarnation of Lassie and can run and beckon for help, you could be laying out there hurt for some time Rock!

You know that there are, that's how you know about epic fail videos!

The biggest reason is one that Chad mentioned: you could truly hurt yourself and how would anyone know, unless you have a

"I've fallen and can't get up" necklace that you could push.

Are you getting one?

I thought not.

I did lol at homoe's comment about one of your dogs turning into Lassie and going to get help.

It really is not funny. We know that you are a tough butch but there are limits even for tough guy butches!

Really.

Didn't get near done today what I had intended. Maybe next weekend

You could always get the "Help, a tree has fallen on me and I can't get up" alert system.

Thanks to all of you for your caring suggestions. Going to seriously look at the house-keeper one.

These yesterday were punk trees. I know I will call my neighbor to come over and be a watch guard when I get into trees larger than 16 to 17 inches in diameter.

And there are 6 or 8 I decided to back away from, hire some loggers. I do not think State Farm would cover rebuilding my entire home if I dropped one of these massive trees on it.

Off now to check on the "I've fallen and cannot get up" medical necklaces. Hoping for a bracelet model. Funny, I thought about that jewelry when I saw the timber rattlesnake several months ago. Copperheads usually only make a person very very sick and heard it is very painful but hunters have a healthy fear of the timber rattlers ... they are deadly.

Shakespeare’s Sonnets Are Banned In Texas Prisons. But Hitler’s ‘Mein Kampf’ Is Allowed.


Not that I would ban "Mein Kampf' perse, but to ban Shakespere's Sonnets?!

Monty Python’s ‘The Big Red Book,’ ‘Where’s Waldo’ and ‘Freakonomics’ are also banned.

The Texas prison system has a head-scratching list of banned — and permitted — reading material for its 150,000 inmates that bars Alice Walker’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Color Purple, but allows books extolling principles of the Ku Klux Klan.

A collection of Shakespeare’s sonnets (because it contains nude images of children), Monty Python’s The Big Red Book (nudity), Where’s Waldo (contains stickers), the economic theory book Freakonomics (may cause “offender disruption”) and 10,000 other books are not allowed. Adolf Hitler’s anti-Semitic screed Mein Kampf and two books written by former KKK grand wizard David Duke are perfectly acceptable. Nearly 250,000 titles are permitted within the prison system.

The twisted list turned up in an analysis of the reading material by The Dallas Morning News.

The logic can be confusing. Some books are banned by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice because officials fear heavy-duty bindings could be used to cache contraband. Content that describes how to make drugs, guns or explosives, and how to escape detection for criminal activity are also a no-go. Nudity and sexual images are also banned, which makes graphic novels like The Walking Dead prohibited. Atlases are banned because they could be used to plan an escape.

Regardless of the stated rules, “many of TDCJ’s censorship decisions are bizarre,” and some are downright “insidious” and “unconstitutional,” noted a report by the Texas Civil Rights Project in 2011. Banned books include many that are critical of the Texas prison system, the report stated.

The Color Purple is banned because it describes incest. As for Mein Kampf, it “doesn’t violate our rules,” TDCJ deputy chief of staff Jason Clark explained to the newspaper.
