View Article  Rumsy the Poo and the Windy Day
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 30

We’ve had worse days, but this one is in the top five since I’ve lived here.  This morning I was going to put it as the 3rd worst windy day, but I think I will put it at #5.  We are expecting a monster day tomorrow. Fed Ex came by this morning.  I thought the poor woman was going to end up with her arm caught in the door it was blowing so bad.  It was miserable.  Rumsfeld had a rough day.  He went downstairs to the bedroom with me this evening.  Doc trapped him in the ...   more »
View Article  Long Day, No Sleep
TUESDAY, APRIL 29

I think the title just about says it all.  I think I had 4 hours sleep last night.  Right about now I can barely keep my eyes open.  I’ve been tweaking the blog again.  Got a few helpful hints on how to  make the basted site meter work.  We shall see.

What’s the fun of knowing how Absinthe works?

View Article  Blog Harbor Down for About 90 Minutes This Evening
MONDAY, APRIL 28

Everything is fine, now.  I still think they are one of the better blog hosts.  The downtime is so very low.

Site Meter is still not recording hits for The Pink Flamingo.  I’m serious.  According to them, I’ve not had a  hit in months.  I’ve tried everything.  Last night I imbedded the code into the CSS.  Hope that helps. I don’t know what else to try.  It is picking up the other things I’m using it with, but it basically REFUSES to pick up The Pink Flamingo.  You look at it and think there is absolutely no ...   more »

SUNDAY, APRIL 27

There are days when I can find nothing to write about.  This is not one of those days.  I emailed Sally Vee a little while ago and mentioned I just did not know where to start.  I thought about doing another Obama-O-Rama, but I realize I have one more day to go in my self-enforced Obama boycott.  Race 42008 has picked upon the fact that he may do the federal financing for the general election – you read it here a week ago!  But, I’m still on the Obama-O-Rama Wagon.  But, not to worry, we have (drum-roll ...   more »
View Article  Man of Sorrows
THURSDAY, APRIL 24

It wasn’t until a few minutes ago that I understood something.  I know it is shallow, but then -? I was doing something in the kitchen, exhausted, physically and emotionally.  I realized I’ve been through so much 2nd hand heartache and sorrow that I just couldn’t handle any more right now.  I need a break.  And now you know why today is catch as catch can.  Then something dawned on me.  Now I understand the term ‘Man of Sorrows’.  Can you imagine what Christ took upon himself?  

The only perfect person who ever lived took on ...   more »

MONDAY, APRIL 2

The wind never seems to end.  We should have a break in a few days, when, allegedly, around the 1st of May, it will stop.  (Maybe)  Right now everyone is holding their breath with the wind and the fires. NM Fire information Right now things are bad.  There is a fire near Mountainair that could be quite bad.  Until the rains begin on the 4th of July, we all live in a state of unsettled calm.

SUNDAY, APRIL 20

So naturally nothing works now!  It is taking twice as long to do anything because I must reload the blasted new passwords. Can I just scream now and get it over with?  The really frustrating thing is the fact that I must use Ecto to publish photos for the blog.  Since I changed all the pass-words the blasted Ecto doesn’t want to load on the blasted blog. I’m starting to lose patience.  Ecto doesn’t want to work.  I’m trying to load it with Blogger then switch it over.  You would have thought posting photos would be easier ...   more »

SATURDAY, APRIL 19

There’s not much going on.  Last night I made the mistake and opened the balcony door late in the evening. (It was a bit warm).  A bug flew in and ended up down in my bathroom.  Someone (and we all know which little pink nose kitty) knocked my alcohol scent infuser over – spilling about a cup of flammable liquid into the bathroom carpet.  Good thing it was citrus flavored. The scent was so cloying I couldn’t sleep. Finally realized if I put the towels I used to soak as much up out of the carpet as ...   more »

THURSDAY, APRIL 17

I only have one post today.  

We spent yet another afternoon in the ER with my mother.  Her heart rate was good, but her BP was high – for her.  Evidently she had some sort of an attack this AM.  She heads back to Las Cruces to the cardo. on Monday.  Guess that means I cancel my pedicure.

While she was in the ER her sister called.  Mae Raines (aunt of one day HOFer Tim Raines) had a catastrophic stroke this morning.  May went to work for my grandmother when I was 10 days old, and ...   more »

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 16


We’ve had another obscenely windy day.  I finally had to go out for diner, and for HE.  Fr. Penn did the service.  I had Altar Guild afterward.  Wednesday night is easy.  We “do dishes” then leave.  There’s none of that setting up for another service, which is good.

My father is now vindicated.  Men are more forgetful than women.

There is nothing more obnoxious than the recently converted, including moi and Mac!  

What a unique concept, UFO’s in New Mexico!

MONDAY, APRIL 14

A few minutes ago I called my father and told him I would give him ten bucks if he would take Rumsfeld off my hands this evening.  The little monster somehow managed to climb up the table where I was stashing the garbage (to dump tomorrow) and pulled it down.  Yep, he shredded the bag and scattered things everywhere.   He and Bubbles were so naughty last night I did not get to sleep until about 6:15 this morning!

SATURDAY, APRIL 12

You will notice the post below this one.  It is totally and completely self-indulgent. The parents' house plans continue - well!  They met with the draftsman this evening.  The only thing changed on the bedroom wing that I designed was removing one set of doors.  That's not bad.  With any luck they will get the blasted thing started this year.

Have you noticed how fast things are loading now?  I put the site meter, TLB, and Technorati at the bottom right corner.  I can't believe that's what kept things so slow.  You live and learn!  If the ...   more »

FRIDAY, APRIL 11

I am only doing two posts today.  I’ve spent much of the evening piddling around and making some changes.  I think I solved the slow loading problems.  All I did was move my TLB badge to the right column, re:  Beth Cleaver’s smart advice a few months ago.  Then I moved the site meter badges.  I discovered my site meter was causing all the problems!  I hate that thing.  I’ve added a registration form, and made the RSS forms easier to find.  If you have been reading TPF this evening, you may have noticed a few color ...   more »
View Article  Nothing to Say?
THURSDAY, APRIL 10

I can’t think of a darn thing to say this evening.  I’m working on some good stuff for the weekend.  Aside from the usual Barack Obama stuff, not much is going on.  The wind is still making me crazy.  We had a few sprinkles of rain this AM.  Further up in Ruidoso IT SNOWED!  Not much else to report.  Oh, be sure to take the test to see what sort of a Republican you are.  Much to my delight, I am an ENTERPRISER!  I think you know where we are going there.

View Article  The Wind Is Making Me Crazy!
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 9

I’ve calculated the wind today is the 4th worst I’ve seen in 10 years of living here.  The worst of it, is we get dust and dirt, but someone east of us will end up with tornados.  The whole area looked overcast and foggy due to the white sand in the air.  I swear the animals are crazy over it.

Maybe they are still “drunk”.  I allowed them to do some recreational drugs last night late.  Doc is still full of C-nip (all over her hair).  She is in a vile mood, which is usual when she ...   more »

TUESDAY, APRIL 8

This morning I found a bag of kitty Christmas presents in the back of the Durango.  We just opened them.  Naturally we are having some fun.  Miss Beverly Sills, AKA “Bubbles” is running around like a crazy kid.  Bat Masterson has a c-nip mouse.  Rumsfeld is running around trying to take everything away from the kitties.  I think a good thing is being had by all.

My mother is still feeling quite bad.  I hope it is a bug.  She’s not been able to keep anything down since leaving the ER Sunday evening.  I’m not too happy ...   more »

SATURDAY, APRIL 5

There’s not much going on, today.  Everyone in the family is snoozing.  I think we will leave it at that and just deal with the posts I did today. I’ll probably do some Episcopalian jokes for tomorrow.  FYI, Rumsfeld has spent much of his evening defending his reputation against Charlotte, who has written nasty things about him on Facebook.  Just because the poor little guy peed on her when he was a baby poodle….

The truth of the matter is Charlotte and Rumsfeld have a personality clash.  They don't like one another.  They never have.

Ruffini started it with his John McCain Face Book Challenge.   Okay, I did it.  Then I had to do my own darn page.   Please, feel free to sign up on it.  The other week I learned how to Twitter.  This stuff still doesn’t make sense to me.

So, I did the whole darn mess. Charlotte informs me this is how college students waste time.  I believe it. So I have been wasting time uploading photos of the family including a number of baby photos of Miss Beverly Sills, AKA Bubbles Silverman. (I still ...   more »

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2

You are only getting one serious post from me today.  This evening, when my back was turned, Doc Holiday deleted my evening post.  Since I’m in a slightly vile mood, I’m not going to recreate it.  I’ve been doing my usual Thursday Thirteen surfing.  I am so sick of cute kids, happy home-makers, and adorable babies I could puke.  The same thing goes for new age affirmations of good feelings. Bull.   The blasted Braves finally managed to win one tonight.  I  hope they did not strain themselves. I am in a nasty mood until I get a ...   more »

NASA SUFFERS
The quest for space, both by NASA and private enterprise is the MOST IMPORTANT part of the future of humanity.  Barack Obama, who plans to cut NASA back to nothing and basically eliminate manned exploration of space.  This said, and in an effort to be fair, I am extremely disappointed with the NASA budget the White House delivered.  I blame the far from satisfactory budgetary increases on conservatives who insist on cutting back on just about everything but their precious little pet projects.  

Of all the government programs we dump money into, NASA is by far the ...   more »

TUESDAY, APRIL 1

I’ve not pulled off a primo April Fool’s Day event in ages.  Maybe the problem is the fact that I peaked too soon.  It’s hard to follow up on the prank my sister and I pulled when I was in the 4th grade.  We went to elementary school in Seneca at Northside.  (John Edwards went to Southside). The school was about 15 miles from our home in Fair Play.  Our father’s business was in Cross Roads about 7 miles out of Seneca.  

There were times when our mother would be late picking us up after school.  ...   more »
