Happy Halloween!!!.....

One of my favorite holidays is Halloween because I like candy!!! Haha..

I also like dressing up in costumes and I would like to have a Halloween party someday but I guess people around this area aren't into having cute safe Halloween parties...makes me rather sad.

I don't know anyone anymore that's kind of sad.

I may be kind of silly but I miss having Halloween and I miss having friends and family that I could invite over and just watch silly movies and eat candy or make cute desserts or party food...How fun that would be! to spend time with people who care about you and love you!...I miss that.

some friends have told me about a cute safe party but I hope I would get to go!...it probably won't happen..

I never have good holidays actually and that makes me very sad...I don't ever get to see people in my family that I miss and who truly love and care about me and I don't ever get to see friends anymore because for whatever reason I don't know.....they move or something...

I miss my Dad too..oh well...

Happy Halloween!

clean water....

One thing I like is water....It's one of my favorite things...it's pretty much all I can drink and do drink!....haha...

I was thinking yesterday how spoiled I am to get to be able to drink clean water and take a bath or shower with clean water.....Water is something that all people and all things need to survive...when you think about it, your body is made up of mostly water and the world is almost all water....

I've seen some water treatment plants and I think those are neat......there are so many people who need clean drinking water all over the world and when there is no clean water available that can lead to diseases and sickness caused from unclean water and dangerous bacteria!

the drought has caused a lot of problems in the area where I live and I know how it affects everything when you have a terrible drought...it affects crops, animals, people, landscapes I can't tell you how many trees we have all lost because of the long lasting drought....it also affects people's jobs and their way of life...

Farmers are always affected by drought the worst when their crops can't get any water through irrigation or no rain...

that's one reason why I love rain, thunderstorms, and snow---all forms of water from the sky....

people have to conserve water whenever you can because of drought and not water their yards for 20 hours!...that's ridiculous!...

there's all kinds of ways to help keep water clean and those are water treatment plants and other ways of turning unclean water into clean water....everywhere and in areas that are less fortunate because everyone deserves the ability to have clean water!

always be thankful for the clean water you have.

music, singing, and popcorn balls....

I like to sing all the time...Sometimes I just pick out a song off of the radio or off of the internet and I learn it and sing along with it....Singing is something I like to do when I get upset, stressed, or I'm happy so I suppose singing is something I like to do all the time!....haha.

people have told me that I can sing very well, all of my life they have said that....I don't brag on myself at all....I just hope I do sing as well as they say I do!..that's sweet of them to say!

Music is something I like as well....I like all kinds of music except music that has dirty lyrics in it or means something not very nice...it makes music cheap and I don't want to be listening to music like that...music can be very beautiful and it can make you feel better or make you angry or make you sad or whatever emotion you are feeling at the time.

I definitely listen to music everyday and I sing almost everyday...it's a good thing to keep music in your life whatever kind you like to listen to or that you like to sing.

music and lyrics can be very healing for your mind...

making a grocery store list today....got a few coupons to go with me...I like to make a list before I make a quick trip to the store for groceries that I need so I write all of the things I need down on paper with a pen and then that way when I get to the store I'm not forgetting anything!

whenever I go to town to get groceries I get what I need at the store then I go back home and I like to unload my groceries and other items I needed then I cook something for lunch...I don't like to stay in town much when I do get to town I go right back home...

I'm going to make popcorn balls today....my great-grandma made them for me when I was a little girl...I like to make them this time of year.

love, julie

old labeling on products....

This is really odd to be thinking about, but something I think it would be really neato to bring back old labels on things from way back when whenever the products we have now were started...Haha! I think that would be unique and different for a change....

I don't know why I have think about this stuff but sometimes I like to research old labels on products that we have now that have been made in the USA and I think about how nice that is that these companies still have products on the market and then I can find the old labels online sometimes...and I think why not bring back that old label for something different?

A lot of those labels are more creative looking and whimsical I think...the labels now on things are kinda of just all boring cookie cutter computer generated and they're not very artsy....but the old ones they had to have so many people actually probably artistically create those labels...they're better I think.

I know I'm weird this morning but I always think about things like that while I'm looking at a label of something...it would be neat to see companies bring back those old labels or something I know some soda pop companies have at times I think....but I can't drink those!...lol...*kidneys*

I've been thinking about Tidy Cats cat litter this morning as well and how great of a litter it is...a lot of those other litters need to work on being more dust free but I know they're just as great of a litter company...

My cats get allergies to the dust in other cat litters and they sometimes get upper respiratory infections as I do when there's too much dust in the litter when I have to change it...

so I only use Tidy Cats cat litter.....it has less dust than the other litters I have used and when you are an allergy sufferer with asthma like me, you need all the dust free and hypoallergenic things you can find when you have to have those things in your home....

stop fighting.....

I'm not the type of person who likes a lot of fighting all the time...I really like people and things in life to be peaceful..i think that everyone probably feels the same way actually...I wish people all over the world would stop all the fighting and just shut up and shake hands and walk away!....Haha...

If you don't like someone or something just stay away from them or whatever it may be....That's how I feel...If people fight all the time or annoy me just because they are annoying I just avoid them!...It's always worked for me to just stay away from certain people who are annoying or yell or fight all the time...who needs that you know?

yelling and fighting is stressful to me....I like things to be peaceful everyone needs there quiet time and no stress days..Sure I know life will always be sort of stressful and I know how to handle stress but I like to have quiet peaceful days with no yelling or fighting...it's useless to yell or fight all the time.

People all over the world are always on the tv news fighting or yelling or being annoying wanting attention!...Haha! It is a very stupid thing with all the fighting going on on tv news, I know that, but I do know that the world needs to just stop fighting and get along and just stay away from one another if you are going to fight....nobody wants to see/hear that crap all the time!!!....haha.

if I have ever been confronted by some stupid idiot hillbilly in my family that has been mean to me and they were on drugs, well I just have stood there and looked at them or laughed at them and went on about my day as they yelled at me or said whatever they have yelled at me...that makes them even madder and it makes me giggle!...Haha.

avoiding people who yell at you or try to start fights with you is always the best way to handle a situation like that..avoid them and walk away...it's funnier that way when you have no comment and ignore them...because who cares what they have to say to your face, or behind your back to others when they are on drugs or just being their idiot-self....oh, I just keep laughing at them!

I just wish the world was more peaceful all over the world and everyone would stop doing drugs, running their mouth off, and stop yelling and fighting all the time..good grief! nobody gives a crapola!

the FUNNIEST thing is keeping your mouth shut, and walking away from someone who wants to pick at you, yell at you, or make fun of you...you win that way!!! who cares what they say! Haha!

They want you to scream back at them and fight with them so never let them have their way about that! It makes me laugh and laugh when they can't pick a fight with me!!!

I win!!!

love, julie

be encouraging for the right things....

Went to church this morning it was nice...the guest speaker was talking about being encouraging towards others which means supporting them in everything good and right..
 
I'm always encouraging to people whoever they are when they want to do the right thing and turn their lives around for the better of the world and for their families and loved ones...awful things like doing drugs and being involved in crime are never going to be good for anyone..I believe everyone needs to turn their lives around and be a good person!
 
Sometimes all a person needs is one person to believe in them and be encouraging to them to do the right thing and it can and will change the person's life for the better...That's what the guest speaker said...I think that is very true you should always be encouraging to anyone who wants to follow the Lord, get away from drugs, away from crime, and do the right thing and just anything that is good that they want to do..anything that is right or good encourage them! 

never make fun of anyone for wanting to do the right thing....always be Encouraging to people who want to do something good and right for themselves, their loved ones, and for The Lord.

the guest speaker said that you can make the world a better place just by being encouraging to others and I believe that is true!

anyway,

Today I made manicotti...it was nice to have sunday dinner that I made myself...I like to have sunday dinner after church that is all homemade with family when they can be here...I think cooking meals at home is better than anything you buy at a store!!! and it is a good thing to have all meals with your family and friends at home....that is special!

last sunday I made homemade tacos I really like corn tortillas better than the flour ones...

more places to work....

Been helping my Grandparents with feeding cows...I get to drive the feed truck and it's been having some problems lately....I like driving the feed truck and honking the horn that calls the cows from the pasture to be fed....

I like to do this kind of stuff as a job...it can be tough work but I still like it...you have to make sure you feed and take care of your cows all the time and keep up with their health everyday....Another thing you have to do is keep your farming vehicles and equipment tuned up, oiled, greased, and have all the gas and diesel at all times in the vehicles/equipment.

There needs to be more places to work here in this area and more businesses to help the economy and help people to live and survive on..with a job people can have nice things, have a house, and feel better about themselves without having to resort to getting into crime or bad things to get by...I'm sure that goes on everywhere...

with more jobs people can live in this area and also that will bring in more revenue and we can have more businesses and many more things to go see and take part in....I think people need to think about putting in more businesses and that will help create more jobs for people.

plus that will change things in the area and make it more prosperous and make things look different and hopefully look cleaner and more like real towns and cities again....that have actual businesses that continue to grow, and not disappear from main street in a year....

All people want to work and want a job I believe...people need to stay busy working all the time...my Grandpa always says that a person needs to keep themselves busy working at something to keep themselves from getting upset or depressed all the time, or getting into trouble....and I believe that is very true!

more jobs = less stress, less crime, less worry, less anxiety, more money, more happiness, more things to be able to live comfortably....

I would like there to be more jobs in this area so it will grow and make everyone proud.

allergic reactions.....

Wish they had a lot of healthier grocery store chains nearby that would have all the different healthy foods to buy that are specially made for different ailments like diabetes, wheat gluten allergies and all those various things..i just want healthier grocery shopping options..I have no food allergies that I know of other than raisins, cucumbers and brussel sprouts!!! Haha! I don't like those.

food allergies are something that I have always watched out for myself because I do have allergies to a lot of things like soaps, plastics, dust, smoke, ragweed, cedar trees...I think I have a sensitive allergic reaction to quite a few things I think even yellow jackets wasps because when I have been stung before it makes a whelp and rash...kind of scarey but you need to always pay attention to your allergic reactions to all things it can be dangerous for you.

I have asthma and allergy problems a lot and I take an inhaler for my asthma so I can breathe and not cough all the time...asthma affects your breathing and it is basically a lung problem I've had it all my life but just I think in the last year it has came back...that's how it does many people it goes away and comes back.....but I know I can help control it by taking my inhaler and medicine.

whenever you have allergic reactions you can have rashes and whelps on your skin from touching certain things you are allergic to like soaps, trees or getting stung by insects you are allergic to...It's nothing to be scared of you just need to be cautious of what you are allergic to and pay attention to how you feel and of whelps or rashes on your skin....also wheezing, itching, and coughing are other symptoms that I always watch for.

I've never smoked but I am very allergic to smoke in rooms or at houses I've been to...all of my life I've been allergic to that and it's very dangerous for my asthma and allergies....

I don't think anyone needs to be smoking anyway because it causes cancer and second hand smoke causes cancer as well...very sad and scarey...I don't judge people for smoking or anything I just can't be around it....

I've had allergies my whole life so I've always been aware of allergic reactions...

making the right decisions....

Been thinking about how when you make the right decisions in life things turn out better for you in your life...I know it's very tough to make the right decisions in life and everybody makes mistakes...I have always tried to stay away from all things that are bad for my mind, my health or my spirit...

When things make you upset or sad those things aren't good for you...if they make you angry then I'm guessing they aren't good either!...I get angry sometimes about silly things but not too angry things will always get better and I know that....things never stay wrong to long I think!

Making the right decisions, choosing the right friends, and choosing the right path with God to follow in your life will all make life for you calmer, less stressful, and safer for you and your loved ones.

Doing the right thing in life to help make your life safer and keep your family safe will always be the right thing to work toward.

Taking drugs and not caring about yourself will endanger your life and your loved ones lives it will only lead to destroying your life and theirs....that is not a good decision I think everyone needs to stay away from drugs and addictions because it will only ruin your life, kill you, and take all of your money and everything you have and love..

drugs have been a bad decision for many people in my family and they have pretty much taken most of them away and ruined their lives, made them angry, and dangerous...it's been very scarey having so many family members with bad drug habits and their friends so when they have been involved in all those drugs they have endangered my life and helped ruin things for me in my life...which that angers me a lot!!!

 I have had things in my life ruined because stupid mean family members can't control me, rob me, or get me on drugs or make me do bad things!!!...sure I get angry about that...so always remember that your decisions affect everyone in your family and in your life....

good decisions like staying away from drugs = Good things for you and your loved ones!

Bad decisions like taking stupid drugs = Stress, danger, agony, sadness, and Bad things for you and your loved ones.

it's so stupid how family members decisions and friends decisions can ruin your life when you aren't involved in anything...I suppose that's why I stay by myself so much....

people just need to think about how one bad decision leads to another and how you can easily destroy your loved ones lives....and your own life.

people need to stay away from drugs!!! I'm so bored and annoyed with all these people who are cookie cutter all take drugs and are just alike they are boring and ignorant!..it's not cool it's stupid!!!

be unique and do something good for a change and don't take drugs I'm so sick of these people!!!

love j.

endangered animals....

Not going to church this morning the weather is very foggy and that makes it difficult to see when driving your vehicle...so I'm staying in this sunday morning and I'm going to have to miss church today....I read my Bible on sundays and everyday I read my daily devotional calendar by Max Lucado "The Numbers of Hope"

i saw a Christmas decoration that was a penguin the other day...I really like penguins i think they are cute! i like to collect penguin things...they are very cute at Christmas time!

i just really like all the animals that God has made on the earth and something i think a lot about is the animals all over the world that are endangered...people can cause all kinds of harm to them by ruining their environment...they also endanger them by hunting them for their fur and their tusks like the elephants are hunted for their ivory tusks...I think that is so awful and it is something that makes me very angry!....

NO animal should be hunted for it's fur or it's tusks or anything!....I like elephants as i do like all animals and i know they are endangered all over the world....it makes me angry that this continues to go on in those countries where the elephants and all the other endangered animals live....

baby seals being hunted is also something that upsets me as well and it makes me very angry.....they are hunted for their fur and they don't do anything to anyone...That is another example of cruelty to animals and that needs to STOP!

everyone needs to think about the endangered animals all over the world because they are God's creatures and they need to be protected and the cruelty of hunting them for tusks or fur or whatever needs to be stopped and the hunters need to be prosecuted...it all needs to end with the hunters and they need to know that they can not do this anymore!

to make a change in the world for endangered animals i think donating your time or your money to help fight things like poaching and illegal selling of animal furs or tusks and just volunteering to help out in fighting against animal cruelty is always a good way to make a good difference in the world.

love, julie

clouds.....

Finally got cooler...I really wish it would rain a lot!

I like to look at clouds and research them...I saw some yesterday that were I think thunderstorm clouds forming to make a thunderstorm..they kind of make a tower......whenever I see one like that, I can go home and look at radar on the internet or I can look at the weather radar on the weather channel and I can see that a thunderstorm has formed in that area.....it's really nerdy but I like to do that.

there are a lot of different types of clouds that form and have very pretty colors or unique formations...

different types of clouds are:

Cirrus--wispy feather like clouds made of ice crystals first sign of an approaching warm front

Cumulus--almost a thunderstorm but a flat towering thunderstorm cloud

Stratus--uniform and flat produce gray layer of cloud cover may be free of precipitation or may cause light drizzle.

Altocumulus--heap like clouds that indicate elevated instability look like streets of clouds

Altostratus--flat & uniform they indicate a warm front

Nimbostratus--dense clouds that produce steady rain or snow they are flat at the bottom and rounded at the top of the cloud.

Cirrostratus--layer of clouds when sunlight or moonlight pass through the clouds it looks like a prism or halo when it passes through hexagonal shaped ice crystals

Cumulonimbus---Which is a towering thunderstorm cloud

Wall cloud-a localized lowering from a rain free base of a strong thunderstorm different shapes and sizes...usually causes a tornado.

Shelf cloud-Low horizontal wedge shaped cloud associated with the leading edge of a thunderstorm's outflow or gust front and potentially strong winds..sometimes scarey they normally don't form tornadoes

fog--is a cloud on the ground

there are a few more clouds but those are all I can think of right now.

make the world a better place.....

I don't like crime or bad things that ruin people's lives....The world has lots of crime and drugs that can lead to ruining people's lives....It upsets me that so many people are involved in bad things...I wish the world could be a world free of crime..

I don't think anyone should ever want to ruin someone's life with crime...Crime leads to so many horrible things that then will cause more awful things to happen all over the world..I don't think that the lord likes crime at all..in fact he probably knows that he doesn't like crime.

I think that the lord wants the world to be a world free of crime and no evil and so do i..everyone should care about everyone and try to rid the world of crime for yourself and your family to keep you all safe....

Crime is evil and I want to make the world a better place...I don't want anyone to ever have to be involved to make crime continue to go on...it's time to help clean up crime and rid the world of crime the world should be safe and that makes everything happy!

people should be able to live their lives free of crime and want to make a good difference in the world...I've always wanted to make a good difference in the world so it will be a better place for everyone.

helping people and taking care of people and making sure they are living in a safer world free of crime is one of those ways to make a good change.

so you should always want to help make the world a safer place.

vaccines...flu shot time!!!......

Got a flu shot yesterday!!!....it didn't even hurt at all...just a tiny sting.

I think getting shots for all diseases is the right and healthy thing to do...it protects you and your loved ones from so many ailments and diseases....I have had all my shots when I was a small child...it has kept me healthy...

there are many shots that are needed for everyone to stay healthy and help keep the world healthy to get rid of those bad diseases and ailments...

things like measles, mumps, chicken pox, rubella, whooping cough, and the many other shots that you can find out about...you should just always contact a health care professional about all the vaccines you need to keep you and your loved ones healthy and safe because so many of these diseases and ailments can be prevented by taking the vaccines...

I took all of my shots as a small child and it has definitely kept me healthy...I think all the shots are truly necessary to help keep you and your family well all year long and the rest of your life...

I took my flu shot yesterday and I know it will prevent me from getting that bad flu...it makes you very sick as do all of these other diseases that are preventable by taking all your shots..

you will have a shot record and you can see and know what all diseases you are vaccinated for.

it's scary at first sometimes when you get a shot but I always know that everything is safe and clean when you go to a health care professional and they will give you the shots...all children need their shots too, that way they will keep themselves healthy and you will all be safe from the diseases.

it is a very serious thing to make sure you get all your shots to protect yourself and that way you will not get sick.

I think everyone needs to get their vaccines.

opinions of fake superficial people don't matter....who cares!

Everybody has got an opinion about someone or they are jealous of what you do or don't do...people get jealous and lie and steal from you and they make up things about you and try to bring you down and make you sad....

who cares what people say about me?....I sure don't!!! I think I spend most my time laughing at all the stupid lies and rumors they all make up about me because of my ignorant family that are hillbillies who hate me!!!....Haha I just laugh at all of them...

I'm used to all that stupid stuff from them....a lot of people get their feelings hurt by people making fun of their weight or their finances or their looks or their hair and the list goes on and on.....who cares what they say about you?! they don't matter---live your life for yourself and your family & friends that love and care about you....be a good person for them...they are all that matters anyway...

it just doesn't bother me because the people saying all these lying mean things about me and being so overly critical of everything I do or say are just superficial people who aren't happy with choices they  have made in their lives!

 and when I have never made bad choices like that they get angry and make up things about me, call me names.....all these years...they all ruin things for me and get very nosy...those people in my family-the ones who hate me and their idiotic stupid  friends....

I don't judge people for anything bad they do/or have done and I never voice my opinion about them to their face or others ever..because I don't care..I just don't talk to many people.I mind my own business.

I'm not all about money I never have had any money sure, it would be alright to have....

but I know I could say that it's all about money with them because they all are greeeeedy! that's what their problem is....they worship money!

money is not the most important thing in the world..

greed will get you nowhere.

I just laugh about them all and the things they have all tried to do to me or have said about me.Haha!!!..it doesn't make me sad or cry, I just laugh and laugh!!!...what else can you do but laugh at IDIOTS because that's what they all are....lol.

people who are mean like that and jealous will always betray you and try to bring you down because they have ruined things for themselves....so who cares about them and what they say about me or you???

I know I don't care and whenever they try to hurt you or take you down, don't let them hurt you or make you sad...just get back up when they try to knock you down and keep on going and most of all keep laughing and smiling because that will show them that you win!!!...this can also make them really mad and I think it's funny!...*giggling*

love, j.

no makeup....random stuff...

Makeup is something that you really don't need to beautiful..

I haven't been wearing any makeup for awhile now....It's just superficial and it doesn't matter if you wear makeup or not...it takes quite a while to put makeup on anyhow and it can be expensive!...

Being pretty has nothing to do with makeup or how you look on the outside it's how good of a person you are in your heart....and how nice you are to people....

People who are nice always notice how nice other people are to them and others so that's what counts how nice you are to other people and how you treat other people...that makes someone very pretty not makeup or money or status in your community it's all about how nice of a person you are.

I like very nice people who are kind to others and keep doing the right thing for the world to be safer and a nicer place...there's so many people in the world who are mean and evil yet there are also nice and kind people who are genuine...and those people I like and look up to and want to be more like...plus I'd like to be a lot tougher too!...

so no makeup is great if I wear any at all it's just a little...just be yourself and be nice!

you don't need something that superficial like makeup to make you pretty or beautiful!!! just be nice and be a clean and sober person too!!! drugs are bad and they make you ugly and I do not like drugs...so forget those stupid drugs they make people do all kinds of bad ugly nasty things....

anyway, other randomness----bought a black sweatshirt and black sweatpants yesterday on sale...$6/a piece...

been busy lately, I know it's the right thing to do to stay busy....I like to be busy but an occasional nap is ok!...ha!

j.

cooking at home....

One thing I like to do is cook meals at home...I like to find recipes and actually cook pretty much every meal at home...I think it's healthier and more comfortable than sitting in town waiting all day...haha. and also it's cleaner I think!

You can cook healthier at home and you can find recipes for your friends & family that are specially designed for the ailments like diabetes, wheat gluten intolerance or lactose intolerance...that way you can all sit at the dinner table like a family and enjoy mealtime together....cooking is fun when you can find all kinds of recipe books and pick and choose what you need from the grocery store and then prepare it together.

the thing I like most about cooking your own breakfast/dinners/suppers is that you can ask everyone what they like to eat and don't like to eat....and help out your local grocery stores...I just wish they had fresher produce nearby...it takes grocery items a while to travel on those food trucks I guess....things aren't that fresh by the time they get here to the grocery stores sometimes.

Families need to cook and sit at the dinner tables together more and have friends over all the time to enjoy dinner together...that's special I think!

picking healthy recipes that include more vegetables is something I like to do....some sugary desserts that I like to prepare I want to be able to make them diabetic friendly for family members that I love..so they won't feel left out when everyone else is able to have sugary desserts....Splenda is a good fake sugar to use I think...they have all kinds of fake sugars by Splenda for baking and cooking...when you are diabetic or have loved ones who are.

another thing that I like to do and look forward to every year is making holiday dinners for family and friends and the occasional stray...haha!.....Thanksgiving and Christmas are my favorite holidays, they are special times for you to be with your loved ones....

groceries can be expensive! but they have cheaper brands in the stores that are basically the same thing but the labeling is different and they look and taste the same I think...I use these most the time.

here, there, everywhere.....tired.

Haha Pumpkin cat's white whisker finally shed...now he has all black whiskers now...it's funny he had that one white whisker!....

Been very busy the past couple of days.

Helped to take my Grandpa to the doctor for a check-up yesterday....he's ok.

then last night my brother and his wife came over and we had a small birthday supper for him...I made a homemade lasagna they really liked it...I bought him some candy and that trail mix that my Grandma gave us at Halloween way back when....lol....he really liked all of that....he laughed at my silly ninja turtle gifts..which were Ninja Turtle bandages and a Ninja Turtle lighted stress relief ball....they were silly.

Today since I had saved up a little money from helping my Grandparents this week, I went to Jo-ann's craft store and I looked around for Christmas decorations or art/painting projects to buy up and save for Christmas...they had only a few things there that were Christmas I saw a few things I liked though...didn't buy any yet.....I get excited about the holidays!

I found the mark down aisle for Fall décor and this time I was looking for Thanksgiving décor and I found a Thanksgiving kitchen towel for $4 that had a turkey on it and it was very pretty so I bought that and I also found a strand of metal acorns that are brown glittery and jingle like a bell attached to a small rope!....so I thought that would be a good Thanksgiving decoration to have....it was $4 also!...I love the mark down aisle and couponing!

Then I needed to buy Goofball some dog treats and I saw some at Petco and I found a very nice box of MilkBone dog treats for his size of dog and it was marked down for $12!!!...it has over 100 treats in it...that is a very good mark down on those!!!..he likes dog treats...

they were very nice in the store.

really tired today, going to have to go to bed pretty soon.

love ya dad!
