The yucky green stuff is back today

Along with very painful sinus pressure and throbbing. Guess it is sinuses after all.

I rested all day today and I was going to go out to dinner but just taking a shower tired me out so much I couldn't do anything else. Of course, I hadn't eaten anything all day, but still....tired of this!!

Thanks for listening, y'all. I'll quit whining now.

I lived in LA during and after OJ's trial.  I always thought I would see him on the freeway and that I would have to ram my car into his to let him know how I felt.  Well, one sunny day at Venice Beach, I had my chance.  There he was, OJ.  Everyone was like, "There's OJ Simpson, there he is."  He was being interviewed by Ruby Wax of the BBC.  There were four camera-men and four boom-operators following OJ and her around as they browsed the shops at Venice Beach.

Well, for me, it really went into slow motion.  To this day, I still don't know exactly what my plan was.  I start scurrying up to him (which is really funny to watch on the video), I get up to him, tap him on the shoulder, he turns to me and extends his hand.  So, I'm shaking his hand, and as I look down, my brain says, "There should be blood on his hands."  I say to OJ, "I've never shook the hand of a murderer before."  He quickly grabbed his hand away from me and they walked off.

They showed that footage of me and OJ like crazy on the Today Show, Dateline NBC promos/show, and a special on HBO.  I even called NBC to ask them to stop cuz they were only showing the video without the audio on the promos, making me look like an adoring hand-shaking fan.  Katie Couric was interviewing Ruby Wax and introduced me as "that woman who insulted OJ."  My phone started ringing like crazy with all my friends finally now believing me and what I had done.

So now, I'm good with OJ.  He knows exactly how this one little American feels about him. -- my brush with infamy and a true OJ slam.

Can you describe that? Is it by chance feeling like you are going to get sick but it just never develops? Do you have any general body aches, weird symptoms like getting up in the morning with sore feet? 

I ask because I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis about a year ago, and feeling yucky and having hot hands was a symptom I had.  Not saying you have it but hot hands are not something that you necessarily think to mention to your doctor, at least I didn't, and it can't hurt to mention it.  Heck, who would think sore feet in the morning would be a symptom, but it is.

Good luck to you.

In my opinion there's not much that can't be made better by the addition of green or red chili.  I cook pinto beans with lots of green chili and bacon bits with a bunch of spices and they are sooooo good.  And the combination of potatoes and red chili to me is just one of the best things ever.

I posted a while back about a woman who was divorced sat down at a football game with dh.  I was at home working.  Anyway, dh told me about it and he said he did not ask her she just sat there and they enjoyed the game together.  I said okay.  Anyway, 6 months later dh asked her if she was willing to lease out that 10 acres of land that she has so he can plant hay.  She said he could.  He did ask me if I was okay with it.  I said I was.  Well dh went to pay her first months rent and boy did she ever give him the old sob story about how her ex was.  She also tells him that several men, married men, have been out there coming to call.  She turned them all down because all she wants to do is raise her kids and ride horses.  

The only man I ever really chased was dh and I was pretty cut and dry with that.  Most the time I admired men at a distance.  I have ran around with some pretty wild girls and they would give their potentials a sob story about how awful life is just to play on sympathy then they would brag about how every man in the world “wanted” them.  Is this what this girl is doing?  Trying to play on DH sympathy and then telling him she is a catch of the town. 

I do know my dh.  He is more likely to run off with a tractor then he is with another woman.  I can almost 100% guarantee it.  There is always a slight possibility I could be wrong but who knows.

Another thing that worries me, is if this gal really is flirting and dh doesn’t want to “join her circus of men coming to call”  is she going to run him off the property after he put all that work and money into it. 

I don’t know why I worry so much.  She probably is just one that likes to talk, it could be innocent. 

My husband was an attorney who would come home at night and tell me about how his secretary would flirt and carryon with him.  He had little derogatory names for her.  She had sad stories for him as well, about raising three young daughters on her own, etc.  When I was in the hospital for emergency major surgery she even offered to take care of our home and make him dinner, etc.  I wasn't jealous at all, but I did warn my husband to be careful of her and the situation.  Long story short ... they had an affair, our marriage was over, and I lost everything. (He's since married and divorced from the secretary.) 

Just because your husband shares with you about his time spent with this woman does not mean he is or is not having/or will have a relationship with her.  The man I am with now would never dream of spending any amount of time for any reason with a single woman without me along with him ... not because I have asked, but because he believes this is the right way to show respect and love for me. 

Jealousy isn't that great, but being smart is.  Some men with really good hearts can be kind of naive.  Just something to think about.  Your DH sounds like a good person. 

a pack of 8 regular sized crayons is 2 for $1.  I can get a pack of TWENTY FOUR crayons for 17 cents.  But a pack of 8 large sized is $1.50 a pack at the cheapest.  I found them at winn dixie for 2.99 a pack.  I need 2 packs. Six dollars for 16 crayons??  That's highway robbery...geez

and make sure to have a happy, happy Thanksgiving!!  Yummmmm my favorite veggie dish you're making....yummm yummmm *laughs*

ENJOY!! 

I made it once and it went in the garbage. It was horrible. Every year I tell hubby I'm going to try it again (jokingly of course)  and he always says "The h--- you will!!!"

So much for that.

As a family we do something called "Geocaching" (geocaching.com) which uses GPSs and coordinates from the internet to do a 21st century treasure hunt.  Over the past 5 years we've had both Garmin and Magellan devices . . . if I had an option, I'd choose a Garmin.  Our first Magellan let me download maps, etc... which showed me where restaurants, hotels, etc... were, which was a super bonus on vacation with a 1-year-old and a cranky need-food-now mommy!  We vacation in Maine, and there are only so many roads, so if you can't read a map, a GPS won't help much  !  Have you tried out "www.thegpsstore.com"?  They have reviews, etc... that might help you sort out what you need, and what you really don't.  Some systems may cost $75, but you won't be able to download maps or anything.  However, the big bucks versions might have too many bells and whistles that will just make it more of a hassle than a joy.  I'd also suggest a sporting goods store, i.e. Cabellas, Dicks Sporting Goods, EMS (Eastern Mountain Sports) since the salespeople will more likely have a clue about how to use the thing and be able to tell you pros/cons of each system.

Sorry for the ramble . . . hope I didn't confuse the issue even more!
