i like scarves....

I like to wear scarves and collect them...I have several....I like homemade knitted scarves for winter to add warmth, they are all the more special when they are homemade by loved ones!

I like the sheer see-thru scarves for tying my hair back and often wearing on my neck in the summer when the weather is very hot...I like the sheer see-thru scarves the best in summer, I like all colorful scarves....all designs and prints...they are fun to place over your hair and keep it out of your face...

I have an infinity scarf that is continuous in blues and sea green ombre...it just wraps your neck a few times and I really like that...

scarves are often very inexpensive and affordable to add to your wardrobe on days you feel bored....haha!...

all kinds of yarns are there to make glittery or other certain types of yarn for different textures when you are creating your own winter scarf....I like that crafty stuff!

bulldozer work, excavation, landscaping, improvements....

Anytime that you can cause changes in something, to improve it, or try to change the look of things, I think it is a welcome event when it makes things much better...

I like for things to be improved and to look much better, I also like for landscapes to look much better....tearing down old dilapidated structures, old trees that look bad, creating terraces, building ponds/lakes, building up the land for creating new structures/homes---all good! when things improve and are good for people...bringing in businesses for work occupations and other good things.

when you demolish old dried up trees and vegetation, plant new trees, and landscape with other beautiful grasses/flowers/flowering plants--bring in some pretty colorful flowers ALWAYS...make things cheerful in those sad places you change. Think of something beautiful and good that makes you smile!

Bulldozer work, and excavation of land for better changes is always something I enjoy watching.....I'd like to learn to drive one!..i think it would be fun!..haha!...I like to watch the arm on the bulldozer that demolishes structures.....it looks like a dinosaur!.....

Dozing land for events in towns/cities that brings new growth to them and are there for improving lives of people, and to make things look much better or different are always nice...Removing old nasty looking buildings, old homes, old businesses that are empty and useless is always a good way to start making good changes for the future of everyone's lives and towns/cities..

using dozer work and other machinery for creating work for people is something that I think will always be needed in the world...there will always be a need for improving the land, building towns/cities and roads/highways....all good things for making things more prosperous and create growth, work, and better lives...and starting over.

this all brings work for people and when you need to start a new beginning with your life, with a new structure, land improvement, or re-building towns or cities that evil others destroy and ruin, it lets everyone know that you do want to make things better and let those evil people know who have destroyed everything-- structures/towns/cities and businesses, that you will never let them win!...you will never give up!

when evil people destroy things you never let them win or push you down, you stand right back up and you start over all new.!..new friends, new life, new buildings, and rebuild everything they have destroyed....life will be better!...never give up.

You start over and repair, rebuild, and improve all things evil people have destroyed or tried to destroy, and making those kind of changes and not having to drive by these sad places that evil ruin has taken place on, will help your mind to be at peace and you will feel much better when those sad areas are gone and new beautiful structures are there in that same place of land...that's how I feel about it anyway!....excavating land, demolition of old nasty areas takes all the bad memories away when these nasty structures and sad events are gone....create something beautiful in that place!

bulldozers, and all machinery that improves and rebuilds is always needed and i like that! Caterpillar and CASE are two kinds of machinery brands i like....i always see them.

stupid idiot bank workers.....

When you have to place your money in someone else's care at a bank, you hope that your money and monetary business is always safe and secure.I like to be able to keep money safe at a bank.But I suppose that the banks can always have bad workers and be flawed, so for that reason you should always keep a watch on your money and banking statements for mistakes!

For many years whenever I walk into a bank I feel insecure and I become angry by the unprofessional behavior of the workers at the bank...Working in a bank is a serious job, not to be taken lightly, and these women that work at the banks are always messed up looking, nosy, lazy, snobby women who once again like the hospital clinic help, are always texting, painting their nails, shopping on the internet, and they always behave as though: " Why are you bothering me?!" when you need banking account assistance...annoying! Why do they even have a job there when they don't want to be professional and complete their job correctly and on time!....this has went on for years and years.

Many of these women working at the banks have told people's banking account information to other bad people in the small towns, because these women are very bad people who are involved in terrible things with my hillbilly relatives!...The way I know this is because my hillbilly relatives were yelling at me and screaming at me they knew all my business, I know you banking information Bitch! they yelled at me..oh I hate those idiots it made me mad as hell!...soooooo I figured that out easily after that, that these nasty skanky women working at the banks spy and pilfer in people's banking business and banking lock-up boxes....because of other things they have screamed about other family members business, young and old they're all right in there with them meddling in banking business of others for them..telling everyone everything.....I don't have barely any money in there!.....and it goes on all the time, that needs to END.....went on for far too long...corruption and meddling hillbilly relatives and their followers who are loyal to them....*eyeroll*

very unprofessional and frightening!

my Grandma has issues with all of these women behaving rude and hateful to her and weirdo to her, she has had her feelings hurt because of the snappy hateful remarks of women working at the bank....that is something that infuriates me!...they run their mouths off all the time when she is there and are tacky hateful bitches! she's very nice and kind, and it makes me mad and upset!

They keep making mistakes in her business and she caught one this week and it is terrible that they make mistakes like that constantly!..unprofessional!..makes me think something is going on with these stupid biatches!

One woman worker at the bank, who looked messed up and talked too fast, told my Grandma a story about her mother in law seeing pictures in her mind and her relatives that have passed away, and she said: " Oh my husband is having a bad time with her, we have to tape paper over the mirrors in her house because she's got a terrible mind! she hears voices and is seeing pictures floating a doctor told us she has Lewie body syndrome"...and the woman acted weird after she told my Grandma that, my Grandma said....I thought...Hmm...that's the same thing that happened to my corrupt cousins Grandpa and Grandma...same things!..I suppose next they will be yelling outside about hacking satellites again and yelling about their nasty equipment!...like my hillbilly relatives were....these people are up to no good....this is frightening and awful!....they all need to go!

wish we had banking workers that were good people we could trust, and not nasty co-horts of evil hillbillies.

peanut butter.... p b & j sandwich.....

Peanut butter is something that I have always enjoyed, I know all about peanuts, I grew up watching my Grandparents farm peanut crops...My Grandma has so many recipes for this and that peanut butter...lol....It's always been fun watching them grow peanuts, it takes a lot of work out in the fields working to keep the crop growing....

many people have nut allergies and I know that peanuts are one of them that people with those allergies cannot enjoy....I don't have any nut allergies but I am allergic to many other things....

you can have peanuts in containers that are roasted, salted, seasoned, some are expensive, some are affordable...just peanuts......and you can purchase the peanut butter in containers....

I like a good Peanut butter and grape jam sandwich..you can use whatever kind of jam you like..i just like grape the best for me!..I create half and half....lol...one slice of bread is grape jam, and the other slice is peanut butter, then you place one on the other...and you have a PB & J sandwich as they call it....I like to drink a nice cold glass of milk with mine....

I like to use white bread to create the PB & J sandwiches...otherwise I use wheat bread for everything else, to be healthier and help the wheat farmers!....

peanut butter and peanuts are used in many candy recipes and candies for purchase...I know how to create the Reese's candy with melted milk chocolate and peanut butter...good!...it's fun making candy sometimes when you have the extra time in a day to work on that...

I enjoy many brands of peanut butter---

Skippy
Jif
Planters
Peter Pan
Reese's

Peanut Butter & Co---they have many different kinds of peanut butter to try-not just plain.

Smucker's---they also have the peanut butter and jam already in the container together.

the off brands are nice also, just whatever a person likes and can afford....

PB & J sandwiches are sweet and salty, that's why I enjoy them.

Peanut butter is a good snack..you can create many items, cookies, sandwiches, candies, pie....

they wanted $500....

I was cleaning outside yesterday in the yard behind the house and a vehicle was flying up the road very fast, dust was everywhere and it drove into the driveway very fast....2 men were in the vehicle and they yelled for me to pay attention to them...I just stood where I was, and they yelled: " Hey! Do you have any work I can do here for $500?!" they looked messed up, and they were spooky! (always some BS)..*eyeroll*
 
I said: " NO." I looked at them for a minute and the other man in the vehicle said hatefully: " We need $500, we need to work on something you need help with your barn?!" I said: " NO." I was very nice and I just walked to the door and went in, they set there in the vehicle a minute or 2 and talked on their cellphones and then left...

it made me very angry! drive through the driveway and get hateful with me!, Oh it made me mad! I don't even know these idiots!...I'm so damn tired of this sh*t..
 
These hillbillies have been pulling into the driveway for years like that everywhere near here, harassing my family for work, they also recently went to my Grandma's house and scared her also....I just do not like that, and I think something terrible is going on with these people...they probably know my hillbilly kinfolks....more idiots.
 
I think there is more going on with these people than what you see before you when they drive in your driveway like that....I can tell by the way they were acting they were very messed up and were up to no good.....
 
they always want money and I think everytime they have stopped and asked to work on something ---why don't they go to work for a company or find a better job elsewhere?, instead of harassing and terrifying people on their own property?!
 
I think it is very sad that I cannot even have peace in the backyard all my life...*eyeroll*....people just never want to leave people alone sometimes it seems......always some jacked up/messed up hillbilly prowling around wanting money for drugs or whatever the nasty hell else they can find, being nosey, or trying to harass someone!....annoying.......it's true.
 
they all need to be loaded up in a vehicle, taken somewhere else to go harass someone else...go harass someone who is annoying just like them!....haha!....let them put up with their BS....hell, they'd probably like it!.....I know that I damn sure don't!....

small town makeovers.....southwest architecture.....

Part of the charm of a small old town in the rural areas, is the old buildings and structures from the past.....And when there are new businesses in the old buildings they can restore safely it is very unique...BUT often times too many of these old buildings are falling down, neglected, and need to be demolished....These old dilapidated buildings can be very dangerous and also very nasty looking for the town itself....they should remove the dilapidated hazardous old buildings and start over new...

so many people could love life in a small town ya know? there are so many small towns here in the rural areas that people could move to and re-start over, makeover, if they had money and/or time!....life is much more peaceful in the rural smalltowns and the other small local towns are sometimes 12-30 miles away from one another or closer...I don't think that all the bright lights and noise of the larger cities are for everyone....not for me, but that's just how I am..

I have always loved old small towns, the way they can look, and how each one has it's own charm and look.....Old brick buildings/structures can be saved, only if they are deemed structurally sound by professionals.....It makes me rather bothered by the fact that so many of the local small towns in the rural areas have dried up and pretty much have been left abandoned....So many people could love living in these small towns and starting over new with their lives, and maybe start new businesses...I like that!...cities are too crowded and with all the excitement and constant noise very stressful!

these small towns can be structured by professionals, and new buildings can be built or restored...I see so many old buildings with very old store signs/painted advertisements still there from the past but faded with time...I often wonder just what it was like to go to that business back then and how people lived back then...very interesting...I like historic old buildings like that, old architecture, I have seen some old banks in these old rural towns and the architecture is very old, i don't know how they did that....I like that.

I like looking at adobe houses and the architecture of the southwest....it's always been a favorite of mine...it is something beautiful and I admire the buildings/homes I have seen....so pretty! I don't know why Oklahoma can't have adobe homes here and everywhere, we have pretty much the same climate, some people have told me that climate has something to do with adobe homes....who knows?

southwest colors are so beautiful to me, and the southwest architecture goes perfect with those colors....Oklahoma needs a makeover! something different! just think how neato these small towns and rural areas could look near here....I love that idea!...oh well...

Ouch ! Arthritis.....

Brr ! it has been very cold outside...I have arthritis pain all over, pain in my joints, ribs, lower back and hips...ohhhh it hurts!....I know I sound like my Grandma talking about my arthritis, but it is something that you have in your genes from your family...My Grandparents and my Great-Grandparents all have suffered from RA rheumatoid arthritis and pain, so I unfortunately have it as well.....

More awareness need to be brought to people about how painful and crippling RA can be...I just have always taken Tylenol Arthritis or Motrin(ibuprofen), the doctor started telling me years ago to take Motrin and I did, it helped but also gave me a terrible stomach ulcer, I only got sicker!...So I take just Tylenol for Arthritis, I also take the generic for Tylenol which is Acetaminophen...it works well for me...I just started taking the Tylenol Arthritis for my pain and it helps me with the pain, I take it with a glass of milk for my stomach....

I have had many terrible falls and broken bones, the arthritis ribcage being cracked hurts the worst I think!, my hips are terrible and that's from falling, very painful and the cold weather or the very hot weather affects those arthritis areas of my body, they sometimes will swell some and feel very tight like I cannot move!.sometimes I hurt all over and my toes even hurt..when you hurt like that you learn to appreciate the nice spring days when the weather is perfect!...I have less pain during the spring....

I like to exercise, walking is my favorite and lightweight weight sets work best for me, swimming in my pool really helps me, it feels so much better to swim!

things that I like to help me with the aches and pains are:

Squishy foam pillows---I always sleep with one against my ribcage and it helps relieve the pain.

Topical Pain crèmes---Capzasin, Blue Emu, AsperCreme, IcyHot..I use these often for pain.

Tylenol Arthritis/Acetaminophen, Ibuprofen works well for others(I just can't use it)

In winter I like to use Warming patches---Thermacare

in the summer when I have arthritic swelling I use a Ziploc bag full of ice or a health ice bag.

I like warm blankets in the winter when I hurt, and heating pads.

soft bedding to sleep in at all times, and nice pillows.
nice warm shower, or a very warm bath to soak in until my arthritic pain relaxes

peace and quiet, sleep/rest/naps, no stresses, no worries!

you have to be careful with many of these warming cremes and warming patches when you are diabetic so always remember that!

I know one thing that I really like that has helped me is the hot tub, I do not have one, but it is very helpful for those with aches/pains and terrible arthritis, I would like to have one someday..*dream*dream*dream.....oh well...it would be nice to have one at all times for cold winter days, and nights when I hurt and cannot sleep.....I can dream about it....

one thing I do know is that I love to listen to spa music and soft instrumental music when I have bad painful days...it helps my mind and body relax...it alleviates the pain often times, and I can sleep better....I like to go to sleep listening to the spa music every night even when I am not hurting it is very relaxing and calms me.

makes you stronger....

I often think about how mean, disgusting, snobby, and annoying many people can be...

I hate how those types of people are pushy, bossy, keep people down to the ground, and try to ruin things for those who are not in their clique, or like them....

Nobody is better than someone else and those people like that think they are above others and better than everyone, these people are also very annoying and know everything they think!...*eyeroll*

I cannot stand those people at all, and I have in the past had to be near these kinds of people, all I can say is that when I do not have to see, hear, or be near them life can only get better!.....lol...I know that there are many people who feel the same as I feel about those types of annoying, evil, snobby, uppity people..

People who try to knock others down and suppress them are nasty, evil people, you cannot let those types of people keep you down or make you be someone you are not, they all want everyone to be exactly like them and let them be the boss of everyone's life, it's all about money, attention, and ruining others lives so they can be controlling over everyone and everything....I hate those pieces of sh*t! you have to fight back too survive these people and always believe in yourself to be strong..

a person should not give a damn what the hell those losers think about your or anything, just because they have their clique and their followers they want to intimidate those who are not apart of their evil doings.....I have seen this my whole life with all these idiots near here and in my crazy family....

it feels as though, you have no voice when they are all near you and people are following them and obeying them more and more, it's as if they let these pieces of shit own them, and turn them into their evil co-horts, nobody will ever tell me that I am going to go along with their BS evil ideas and control me to be apart of their nasty games....

I have constantly fought back and learned to play games on them to keep myself safe, a person has to think smart and constantly think many steps ahead of them before they get to you and you have to be ready for them and anything evil they may try to do to you.....I know I have had to, to keep myself safe.....those kinds of people are constantly thinking of evil things to plot and plan every second of the day...they're all about money and greed....anything evil to get money, they don't care who they have hurt or have manipulated!

I get very angry and I have got a terrible temper because of all the pieces of snobby evil shit that have ran things near here my whole life(like the hillbilly kinfolk) I hate injustice and corruption and when you are surrounded by that crap your whole life it makes you a very angry, stressed person who fights back..these people are so damn annoying!

once a person has constantly been ridiculed, belittled, harassed, annoyed, suppressed their whole life you learn to fight back at all times and I constantly have my guard up to keep myself safe, physically and emotionally, I have learned to be a tough person because these people and the way things have been in my life have all made me this way, so in a way I can say to those pieces of shit who have hated me my whole life and have screamed at me my whole life: Thank you pieces of shit for making me a tough, strong individual and it has made me a fighter so I can survive and go on with life when everything has looked bleak and hopeless.....i win!

all the constant pain, all the stress, and all the chaos changes you and makes you a different person, for some it wounds you, for others like me it makes you that much tougher and that's what i am because of this BS my whole life with these nasty people.

when you are suppressed like this, and kicked about by others you become angry and it creates a fire within you to get out there and fight back against these evildoers and "kick ass and take names" as I like to say.....lol.....

they belittle everyone and ruin everything, so i like to laugh when i think about those things happening to them!....Bwahaha!

aloe vera.....

I have a aloe vera plant that I have taken good care of and it has grown very well since last year..it is grown from my Grandma's old aloe vera plant she has had for years placed in the window....When I was a child, everytime I got sunburned she would take a piece of the aloe vera plant and break it in her hands, and place the liquid from the plant onto my sunburn....and it helped cool and heal the sunburn naturally....

so last year she gave me a few pieces of her aloe vera plant and cleaned the plant free of dried pieces and gave me a good green rooted piece of the plant and she said to plant it at home in a planter and it would grow easily....and it did grow!....

I like many products with aloe vera in them for my skin, hand/body/face lotions, hand soaps, and I like to take the liquid from my own aloe vera plant and use it for my skin if I am sunburned or windburned....I know that they have available aloe vera gel in containers for sunburns and those are nice as well.......

Also there is an aloe vera juice drink I have seen, but I have not ever tried that, I don't know what that is for...

I think the aloe vera plant is a pretty plant...and a very cooling plant when you are burned by the sun, wind, or by a minor oven/stove burn....I like natural healing with aloe vera for the skin...

I don't know where to purchase the plant at, maybe a local plant nursery, or store that has plants/flowers for purchase in the spring?....I have my own that is at home for me just incase I get a minor burn..... 

you can leave the plant in it's container with some soil and place it in the window..i water it as well a small amount....

agricultural tv programming.... different farm store?....

I like to watch any informative, agricultural tv programming that is current and up to date....I Enjoy watching RFDTV/RURALTV, and RIDETV(about horses)so I can learn about all things agriculture, I like to learn the up to date news in the industry and that way I can always be informed of new products that may have recently been created, or learn about new techniques in the industry....I know it is nice for many farmers/ranchers to be able to watch tv programming that is interesting to them, because I know all those old cowboys don't care about nothing but agriculture!...lol...anything else, they are bored with it!

There are many informative agriculture tv programs on these channels and I enjoy watching those whenever I can....I don't watch tv at all usually, but if I do have the tv turned on, I only watch agricultural programming or old western cowboy shows....I don't have any of the extra channels....it's not very affordable when the bill keeps increasing every year!....oh well....I would rather be outside working on something than in the house watching tv!...lol

my grandparents got rid of their satellite dish because they didn't watch it and it was too expensive, (that was before these channels were created)....They have just a plain terrestrial antenna tv and they're happy with that....I just wish that they could watch these agriculture programs, and they were available on their terrestrial antenna!...

I saw online that there is a farm store called Rural King Supply and I like looking at their site...It would be nice to have a farming store like that one closer nearby to this area....I know there are Atwoods stores, and I like them, but they are a good travelling distance....something different!

a1 fire......

I know that many times in life terrible fires can occur, due to the weather, accidents, or simple mistakes...

I always make very sure that I am extra careful and cautious when I am using anything that may contain fire or use fire.....Using the grill outdoors, using electric appliances, stovetop/ovens in the home, lighters, candles, down power lines, vehicles/accidents, and just fires that may take out office buildings and entire homes...

There are many items that I like and appreciate that are available from fire protection companies and I think fire extinguishers/smoke/carbon monoxide alarms should be there onhand at your home already just incase you may have accidents or issues within your home....I like them...you can have those installed in your home near your kitchen, or wherever!

office buildings or any building in use should have fire alarm pull stations, extinguishers, smoke alarms, readily available for the public, and overhead water sprinkler systems in case there would be a fire to keep everyone safe...safety should always be thought of and planned ahead of time before those terrible accidents or issues occur so people can be safe.

I know of A1 Fire, the company and about it's line of items that are very useful, I saw one of their vehicles yesterday, I suppose installing a system at a local store....I just thought about that yesterday...They have so many items for purchase to be installed in homes/businesses, or any building where people may spend time....

i just know that everyone needs to be careful with fire and be prepared for any fire that could accidentally occur in the home or at any business....

arbuckle fried pies.....

A little snow fell early today..checked on cows in pasture and fed them some cubes and hay...There are 2 new babies to add to the other 3 already born...They are always born on snowy or wintry weather days....

they have them in the trees away from the snow/wind/rain....they're cute!...One baby calf that is a week old can run and zip across the pasture infront of the truck, so I am always very cautious about those baby calves!...I think I am going to name him Zippy because he zips across there running...sometimes I think maybe he is trying to race the truck!...LOL!...

My grandma had purchased some Arbuckle Fried Pies the other day while in town, I tried one, it was cherry, it was pretty good...I just think they could improve them some...I like that they have been creating their fried pies for many years!...

I make my own fried pies out of canned buttery biscuit dough, or phyllo dough, and canned fruit filling is all...I drizzle them with a little bit of powdered sugar glaze after they are done...mine are ok I guess!...LOL.

but anyway, I like Arbuckle Fried Pies they're alright....my Grandma purchased 3 the other day and I tried one today....I like those kind of pastries on wintry days...

they should try and market those all over the state and elsewhere, so everyone can try a fried pie.

tire replacement....weather prep.....

I was driving the feed truck yesterday and it was kind of muddy in one place there in the pasture..I had to drive up the hill and I had to put the truck in 4 wheel drive...It kind of slid downhill!....I got to thinking about new tires and tire tread on tires....the tires are still good, but I think about tire tread in many vehicles I see on the road...they look bad.

the tires all need to have deep set grooves and not be without grooves because that is hazardous not just in the pastures but out on freeways, highways, dirt country roads/gravel roads...tires without grooves have no pull at all, and in weather conditions it is very hazardous.....

We have to keep a check on all vehicle tires, save money (as always) and when the grooves are gone in the tires we should look to pit stops that change oil and repair tires to purchase them there or order them if necessary....Also there are wheel/tire companies that manufacture and sell tires...

I like the tire brands Hankook and Goodyear....

Locally to the area is a Goodyear tire factory and there are many people from my hometown who have worked there or still do...they're always fighting, selling drugs, or cheating on their spouses!....LOL...lots of bad things go on with those people from my hometown who have worked there or still do, they have good paying jobs, so I don't know why they want to always create so much evil there...I have heard so many stories from local people and hillbilly kinfolks about the things that go on there....Haha!....like your tires with some bad things and gossip?!! I know you could probably get that from the people in my local hometown who work there at that factory and constantly fight/gossip....It's sad because everytime I have to replace tires or go look at tires to purchase I just giggle and think about all the hanky panky that goes on there when I see that brand of tires!....*eyeroll*.that's how it is in a smalltown.....and locally...

I like Goodyear tires they are a good brand and company, but they need to clean up the workforce in the factory near here.

all these local people usually have no problems finding work there, it's weird....they fight/do bad things all the time!

But anyway, I'm just thinking about tires and tire repairs, so many flats have had to be fixed because of these old artifacts that the road grader digs up on these old country dirt roads....I like the quick pit stops for all things tire and oil.....just wish that there were more....oh well...

randomness---I hope that the electricity doesn't go out this weekend from freezing precipitation!..i don't want to wait another 17hrs for power, while I freeze! (like last time)...I have always hated that because of bathroom issues!..icky!....I always catch water in plastic containers a few hours before the winter weather and I store it in the house incase the electricity goes off, I can still flush the toilets...you just pour water into the back of the toilet top and place the lid back on...then flush!....LOL!....I wish that it was easier to hook the generator up for power...*sadface*...

I like snow, but not down power lines and icicles.

no - sew fleece blanket, items purchased today....

Today I was able to go to town and shop for a few items...It is supposed to snow this weekend and I had to purchase pet supplies also...I went to the new store locally called PetSense...it is very nice and the worker in the store was very helpful, nice, polite, and informative....I had to purchase dry cat food there because the veterinarian wants my older cat Tigger to have the food for his digestion issues...I can only find it in pet stores so I found it today at PetSense!...I like the store and they have pets for adoption and they had 1 cat there and he was so cute! He had a sign on his pet cage and it said Adopted! yesterday!...so I am happy he found a new home!

After that I went to Dollar Tree and I purchased a new Animal Rescue coloring book to color with colored pencils or crayons..i like coloring to relieve my stress!...it helps me....I also purchased 4 flower pens to write with...they are very pretty in pastel colors and glitter!..i may place them in a vase on my dresser they are so pretty...I also purchased farming sticker sets.....

today I purchased 2 prayer candles that were on sale $2/a candle those are for light if the electricity goes off this weekend they are decorated beautifully..unscented!

I went to another local store and I saw that they had fleece to purchase and I remember creating my no-sew fleece blanket....it is neato that the fleece and all fabrics can be so detailed with pictures and designs on them! very pretty! I created my fleece blanket out of Pooh Bear and Friends it is very colorful and showed a forest scene they were in...it's on my bed right now for warmth...I have always loved Pooh Bear and Friends---all the characters....when I was a baby they were the theme in my nursery! I still like them to this day even though I am older!...lol.....I made my no-sew fleece blanket a few years ago...I love Pooh Bear and Friends and I think they are all so cute!

I like fleece because it is safe and humane...no animals are hurt for fleece, at least not that I know about..if so, that is terrible! it is supposed to be safe and humane..

you can find the printed fleece most stores where craft making supplies are, and sometimes it is pricey so I save money when I wish to make the blankets! you need a plain color fleece and a printed fleece for two sides..

just for fun !----here are the instructions for making the no-sew blanket

you will need tape measure to measure, and sewing pins to hold in place, and scissors to cut the fleece to create the blanket.

adult size blanket---58"x72" 2 yards plain color fleece....2 yards printed fleece

Cut selvage edges off sides and straighten cut edges if needed.
Lay plain color fleece on to the top of the printed fleece.Pin down.

Cut a 4inch square from each of the corners.
Cut 3 and 1/2" to 4" lengths every 1/2" to 5/8" along all the edges.
Tie the plain color fleece fringe and the printed fleece fringes you have created together in a square knot(right over left, left over right) Continue tying all fringes.

it is complete!...some people may like to adorn the fringes with colorful beads before tying them...whatever you wish to work with..

you can also purchase the no-sew blanket kits to create..i like creating my own though...lol.

convenience stores / gas stations / travel stops.....

When you are driving and you need to stop for fuel or for any random driving need when you are on the road to work or elsewhere there always is somewhere to find what you are needing to get by to keep traveling to the next town.....we always call it the " last stop in town " which means the last stop before you leave town for several miles, last rest room, last fuel stop, last needed food/refreshment stop.....last everything traveling stop for several miles or just a few blocks...

Convenience stores-----They have several cooked items for purchase that need to be kept warm and inspected for cleanliness...I know they have them under broiler lights/cook lights/heat lights, but many times in local convenience stops those cooked foods look old, not fresh and rancid!....and when people are in a hurry you know, they are not thinking about date expiration, cleanliness, and freshness...they just grab and go to purchase the food items at the cash register and people can become very ill with sickness from those not properly cooked, clean, rancid foods...!!!...and they are sometimes not properly refrigerated either and expiration dates are not checked!!!..same food borne illnesses!..

many times I have seen these people who work at these convenience stores and they cook foods, stock shelves, and are cashiers and they are so unfriendly and rude sometimes! and they are not very cleaned up looking to be working near or on food!...gross...they should have their hair pulled back and have clean hands, clothing, faces....and at least be a little friendly when you are kind speaking to them...!...I know everybody hates their job but geez!...I don't want to get yelled at for asking where an item is or the cost...they get mad when they have to turn the fuel pumps on and you may wait 10-15 minutes in the weather just to purchase fuel then they look at you evil-like: How dare you stop here!"....oh well...*eyeroll* whatever!  Loves, Circle K, Hop n Sack, 7 Eleven, Stripes, EZ-Go are the ones I have visited here...they have too many robberies, I get scared going to these! but you have to purchase fuel somewhere to drive...

Gas stations----these are alike, but they all have the same food hazards and robberies, sometimes grouches....the gas stations I know of are ALON and SHELL, they seem to be somewhat cleaner and I like their gas/fuel....

Travel Stops---when traveling out of Oklahoma I have noticed that they have in other states many grand sized travel stops as they call them...I like those....they are spacious, tidier, cleaner, the foods do not look as unfresh, cleaner restrooms, the workers are friendlier and they have many more items to purchase such as local state items for purchase for visitors to the state to look at and purchase to take home...all kinds of cute items!...I liked that....I wish we had those here....I like nice spacious parking lots with plenty of security cameras, brightly lighted at evening and night, seats to set in and rest for awhile indoors while you wait on others traveling with you, and plenty of fuel pumps so you do not have to wait in line or go into the store and get screamed at for asking them to turn the fuel pumps on so you can purchase fuel......those travel stops are very nice....I sure do like them!...the travel stop that I went to while traveling looked like a ginormous cabin!...I liked that.

they also have truck stops but I have never been to those, there is a local one that people can dine at, but that's just kinda gross to me, I've always heard that those truck stops are filthy nasty, and the people are not good that stay around those places, they always have some kind of robbery or something...yikes! spooky...those just aren't good places in my opinion, but that's what I've heard...

just tired of all the nastiness at these stores, and the hateful unclean workers, I don't think that anything would be clean or safe at all the way these stores locally are managed....icky!

internet working again, seed/plant catalogues....

Finally I have my internet working again...It has been down a few days, I guess my antenna is messed up from weather....icicles are a mess!

I have been thinking about all the seed/plant catalogues that I have sent in for by filling out the catalogue requests online, they are free, some I have purchased at feed/seed stores before for barely a few dollars.....

they have plants/shrubs/seed packets/seedlings/trees/flowers....fruit trees, vegetable seedlings for the spring gardening....

I have purchased a few fruit trees and garden/flower seeds before from these catalogues, and I have gotten a few flowering plants....I think now would be a good time to start planning to order from the free catalogues in a couple of weeks, or at least looking at them so I can be ready for the spring planting season...

I like to purchase the items from the catalogue that I want with a money order and I make my choices in the paper fill out order in the catalogue and mail it in...some of the items for gardening and planting may be expensive, some may be affordable...I just always make sure I calculate everything and total it up!...I know tax is added too.....

I am excited to plant my garden in the spring and plant a few flowers...I think planting pretty flowers and growing your own vegetables and planting trees are always good to work on!

I know many people suffer from the winter blues and I know it is always rather depressing when the weather is very cold and you cannot get outside often and everything is blah outdoors!...lol...

I like the seed catalogues:

Burgess
Burpee
Exciting Gardens
R.H Shumway's
Farmer's Seed and Nursery
Gurney's
Urban Farmer

you can always just purchase a few seed packets and plants at local stores also, but I like to order from these sometimes....

I enjoy looking through the seed/plant catalogues during winter it makes me think of spring and gardening/planting.....

never good enough....

Had to take my Grandparents for health check up then to run a few errands yesterday, when we got the mail earlier yesterday morning my Grandma found a baby shower invitation from stupid hillbilly cousin's wife...(you know the one that runs her mouth off about me and is a stuck up snob) she's having another baby due in February...*eyeroll* she had only chosen the most expensive baby stores in a local town where all these snobby young women all go for clothes for their babies..oh, I'm not surprised at all by that!....they're snotty and annoying....my grandma said she wasn't attending that shower and I'm definitely not either!...too snobby for us!......

THEN my hillbilly stupid weirdo uncle drove thru the driveway when we got home and pretended like he was going to run over my Grandma...and laughed about it!...we didn't like that because he's messed up all the time and/or angry about something...then he got out and spit nastiness on the driveway!...and laughed...we gagged...gross!...he kept behaving weird and running his mouth off....he keeps showing up in all these places we go shop and dine at when I have to take them to appointments or for errands.....I just ignore him and his weirdness and weirdo family....they're creepy and annoying!...I dislike annoying family members who are creepy...

I know they don't like me, nothing is ever good enough for these hillbilly snobs..all i do is get my feelings hurt my whole life by these stupid people, ("fake" friends or family members)....no matter how nice I am, no matter what it is, never good enough, pretty, rich, perfect enough....but you know, once you have been belittled and put down enough it doesn't hurt anymore...i just go on with life the best way i can and try to get by even though i encounter many upsetting people.....

i tend to think that snobby uppity people always look down on others who are not of importance like them they think, and anything that anyone who is not of their clique may do is NEVER going to be good enough for them...but who cares they're the disturbed people with problems not me!..haha!..I just mind my own business and go on....

things will NEVER be good enough for those snobby people.

soil conservation.....

Soil is a very important part of life and in my case Agriculture/Farming....Everyone needs to be aware of just how important the "dirt" underneath your feet is!....

When you have soil, get good use out of it!....with farming or gardening....planting crops and gardens, or even building on good well drained soil...

Soil Conservation is a management that we need to all know about and practice/follow when we have fields to farm , livestock to raise, and crops to plant and cultivate...Soil may seem to be "just dirt" BUT it's not just dirt it is a way of life for the farmers...

Many natural disasters such as floods, tornadoes, torrential rainfall, can all lead to erosion and runoff destroying your crops and your neighbor's crops in the field next to you!...It has happened many times to my Grandpa's land because the next neighboring farming field never followed and practiced soil conservation....so we always need to be aware of soil conservation and please be educated about it....

crop rotation is another way to follow soil conservation...too many times the same crop every year can destroy the soil.and you can plant other crops that will help the land, then go back to your cash crop planting.....in many areas the soil will not sustain crops and you may need mineralization before planting anything in that field..you may have to wait a while before planting there....

we've had to build terraces years earlier because of excess rainfall and it did prevent some flooding...they used a dozer for that and it took a week to complete!...water gaps may be helpful for rainfall and windbreaks by planting trees in areas near crops to shield from the harsh winds...My grandpa has added those many years ago..

we all need to prevent erosion on our properties and be respectful to the neighbor's fields...

many tests can be made on your soil, and these tests can tell you the amount of minerals/nutrients/contaminants and the list goes on!....these you know, aren't necessary, but if you wonder about that kinda thing you may wish to have your soil tested in your fields before planting or planning crops....

many agriculture seminars are sometimes available on soil conservation and I like to attend those to learn when I can on anything new going on with Agriculture...we should always want to learn everything new we can each year!....Agriculture offices should be locally available to all farmers to learn/find out more about what they can do with a good soil conservation program/other programs to keep the fields looking pretty and productive!

caramel corn.....

I like to make this as a lighter snack during the winter...

Caramel Corn

2 c. Brown Sugar
1/2 c. white Corn syrup
2 sticks margarine
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla
6 quarts of pop corn (or 6 bags of microwaved pop corn)

Pop corn and place into a large deep set baking dish for oven. Set aside.

Combine brown sugar, syrup, margarine, and salt. Heat to a rolling boil. Remove from heat. Add baking soda and vanilla. Pour over popped corn and stir in the baking dish. Bake at 250 degrees for 45 minutes, stir every 15 minutes. Do not burn yourself!

I have created this caramel corn for years and it is my Grandma's recipe, but I had to change this up a bit ,because it works differently with different ovens...it can scorch easily on the bottom of the baking dish so keep checking it as you stir with a larger sized spoon every 15 minutes...it is time consuming so if you have extra free time you can enjoy creating caramel corn!....haha!

after the caramel corn cools, I like to scoop it up with the spoon and place into plastic storage containers and/or plastic storage bags/Ziploc bags...

just a lighter snack for winter.

clean it up !.....trash bags...

Beginning the new year, it is a wise idea to clean up your life of all trash and un-needed clutter, I like to always say "kick the trash to the curb" and this can often include trashy people you kick to the curb and out of your life forever!....who needs them in your life, trashing it up and ruining things all the time! get rid of them!..and who needs trash/clutter on their property, and in and outside of your home, in your yards, and the road near your home....

I have seen for the past several months now down the road from my home, an old nasty looking green chair that has been tossed out in the road and now it is to the side of the road, and several white trash bags full of trashes...just tossed out down the road from my home!...It's probably those hillbillies up the road that did that, I saw them walking down that way one day...Gross.....I would pick it up but I know it is probably terribly nasty and maybe toxic/dangerous...You should never pick up trashes like that, use a shovel to toss them into a container and throw into the nearest trash cans...icky!..i'm afraid my dog may roam down the road or another animal and get sick with disease and ingest something awful...oh well!

I like all things to be cleaned, bleached/sanitized, picked up outside and discarded into the trash cans...I always see trashy looking properties and I think: " Is it so difficult to throw that nasty trash away and clean up that property?!...Geez, a box of trash bags isn't that expensive!"...that's just laziness or depression!....we should all always be clean and tidy in the home, and outside the home on our properties, hillbillies are the ones who are nasty, unclean, and untidy, who behave like that, they don't care about cleaning up anything!....that needs to end.

Trash bags are not too expensive at all...you can purchase the off brands, and I like those...I also like Hefty and Glad Trash bags...they work well too...they are in all sizes so check the labeled boxes to see what gallon size you are purchasing..i purchase the grandest size trash bags for cleaning up outside....I would go through and use a whole box of trash bags in one day if I had to, just to get that trash picked up everywhere!

hauling off trashes on trailers you pull behind your vehicles to take the trash, clutter to the landfill is a good thing to work toward, if you do not have a small trailer to haul the mess to the landfill I would borrow one from someone who may help you get that to the proper local landfill....

we need landfills available locally to all people, even in the isolated areas...it keep hillbillies from dumping trashes/clutter, nastiness in our creeks, lakes, ponds, roads, ravines....so terrible and nasty! 

it just takes a small amount of effort to get out there everywhere weekly and bag all trashes up and discard them into trash bins...

trash bags are wonderful to always keep at your home and I like to recycle the plastic bags that my purchases are placed in at stores...I use those as trash bags for my small trash cans in separate rooms, recycling like that, saves money and it helps the environment....

we should ALWAYS keep everything cleaned up, tidy, sanitized, and well organized...

keep the earth beautiful.

clean it up!

meddling, gossipy women.....

Brr!...it is very, COLD outside! I am so thankful my coat is warm...

Today something silly happened and it was odd how it even occurred....I was feeding the cows a sack of cubes and I looked up and a silly steer was upside down in the watering tank!!!...I couldn't even figure out what was happening, I just saw 4 sets of black hooves and water splashing everywhere!...I was scared!.....and then the steer somehow got upright and jumped out of the watering tank...I have never seen anything like that!...silly steer...he could have drowned...I watched him, he seems to be ok...I don't know how he even got into the tank upside down?!!...never a dull moment here!.....LOL!

I know that there are so many people who are nosy and who gossip, and we all know that I hate gossip and people being nosy...I know that naturally people are curious (like my cats are)....lol...BUT sometimes I just get so tired of all the gossipy/nosy people....they all make up stories and tales so grand I don't know where in the world they invent these lies/tales/fabrications at!....Gossiping and being too damn nosy is just sickening, annoying, and causes many upsets and can be dangerous.....some people just don't know when to shut-up and be quiet when they are bored I guess!...and most of it is jealousy I know....

My grandma's family is full of gossipy, nosy, meddling, older/younger women and they are just pathetic with all the lies/stories they invent...they make up some of the wildest stories(that they themselves are out actually doing) and they talk about people non-stop when they are jealous of them and make fun of others when they are down...just sickening how these biaaatches are!....haha!...I just cannot stand any of them...

meddling older women are some of the worst in my family and the local small towns, we always laugh about the coffee shop gossip that those older women have set at the tables early morning in town and talk/gossip spin tales about others...They're all bitter older women..i call them hags!...LOL!...then the younger, jealous, meddling women go to the bars/clubs and invent more BS lies to tell all over everywhere...weirdo younger hags!..Bwahaha!!!

I have heard so many fabricated made up stories that have gotten back to me from the local coffee shop gossip, and it's always lies some younger or older meddling woman that I know from high school or some older women there in the local towns has made up about me....outrageous stupid sick lies!..i don't even go to that town, and I do not even know those women at all!...biatches!..I do not like to associate with gossiping meddling older or younger women, who are bitter and set out to destroy others due to jealousy.....

I have one great aunt and she has always meddled in my life, told me what I need to do with this or with that and how I should live my life as she thinks!...she's always standing by somewhere asking my Grandma all about my business and I don't ever even go to that town anymore...I haven't for years!...she just cannot seem to stay out of my life/business..she's gossipy and I tend to think she is very jealous over me being younger or something?...but she is constantly gossiping, meddling in my life and everyone's life, she at one time worked at the local town Bank and told everyone's banking business and made fun of people who had no money.....that is VERY WRONG----that is taking meddling way too far...the bank is closed down now for many years...(is it any wonder why?!)..but people always yelled at me because she was telling their banking business!..i was embarrassed and didn't know what to say to them!..they yelled at me over that!..that was HER doing that to people NOT ME!..see, how people are?!..blame me for everything in that hillbilly town!..i didn't know what was going on with them or her!...*eyeroll*..........annoying.

I just don't understand all these meddling older women, the gossiping, and the lying, they have beautiful homes, I suppose enough money to live comfortably, but I just don't understand them at all!.....and it is the younger women too who go right along with them and take part in all the debauchery!...another *eyeroll* from me.....Haha!...they're just a bunch of ding bats!

this meddling with the older women takes part in the casinos, the local taverns, the malls, stores, restaurants, coffee shops, you know everywhere!.....they talk about others and their business(and they may not even know the people they gossip about!) they talk about their jewelry they're proud of, their purses, expensive clothing/shoes...their new Lincolns...blah..blah....they just have everything it seems, but I guess not really because they gossip and lie so much..and get jealous of others I guess!...I know many people have these meddling women in their lives and I know they just laugh about them and go on....but it can be so annoying sometimes.....these women are some of the snobbiest people too...pathetic.
