There are so many bad things that can happen to people and they are terribly tragic, dangerous, and upsetting...
when you go through bad situations in life whether it be illness, disabilities, loss, depression, stress, danger, or terribly awful things that personally happen to you, you have to keep hope that it will pass and get better with time....
when you never give up on facing life's challenges and fighting your way through them, then you are a survivor when the situation was tough to get through and it's over and you are still there and able to wake up everyday and know that you are going to be just fine you know that you have won the battle!
many people survive horrific, terribly sad upsetting things in life and that is proof that you can survive by staying strong and keep on going....never ceasing.
you have to use your mind to stay strong and tell yourself that you will be ok...otherwise you will give up and don't give up! because they just win....and I always win..because I never give up..haha!
surviving all these terrible things is stressful and when it is over and you are still here..you may still always have problems after going through it all....when you live through it...BUT you know you are going to be ok.
it takes a very strong person to survive anything in life...I think about all the people everywhere who have lived through awful things and are still there and are much stronger because they survived.
you may have a few scars, you may be torn up, you may always have some problems physically/emotionally, you may be wounded but wounds can heal, and you are still here.
and when I think about scars and wounds..i think about the emotional scars and wounds that seem like they will never heal...it takes time to get through those emotions I suppose....
surviving all things makes you much stronger and it is awful that people have to go through these bad/sad things in life....but whatever you have to face...you have to battle through it and never give up to survive.
I admire all survivors of all bad things...

annoying day...sick again....
I have been battling an upper respiratory and bronchitis infection...It's from allergies/asthma and stress I think.
I had to go to a small town medical office today so I could get a prescription for medicines.
Everytime I go to this medical office the same guy always tells me my blood pressure is too high...He will look at the results of the blood pressure machine and he will say "Blood pressure is high! it's high, you gotta get that down!" and it will be just a little bit high...
I am so tired of that crap like that!...I know my blood pressure will be elevated a little driving and walking to the clinic when I am stressed about what kind of crap he will say to me everytime....
I know at night I sleep well and I never have headaches or any kind of problems like that...which are some of the indicators of really high blood pressure...
stress is a lot of my problem and when a guy in the medical office knows that when I am busy/stressed/ or just driving in town yeah it will get a little high....he knows it does that to everyone..but no! instead he wants to place me on a blood pressure pill everytime...just a low dose blood pressure pill is all!...just a low dose...whatever...*annoying*
some people really need blood pressure medicine and need to keep it watched/controlled...but I know that I am not one of those people...I watch mine....
before he has told me that even though I was sneezing/coughing all night the night before I go to the medical office that it doesn't matter..i had just coughed and coughed as I parked the vehicle in the parking lot and he told me that...yeah right...so when you sneeze/cough terribly it won't raise your blood pressure?....WRONG.
now get this, you are supposed to run. jog, brisk/fast walk instead of just walking or hiking...so he told me that plain walking and hiking is not good enough exercise.....*annoying once again*
what are you supposed to really do anymore for exercise???..I mean, it changes every year..exercise like this...NO exercise like that...NO don't, go ahead, No, wrong......make up your minds medical field!!!....
who cares!...i don't !....haha! I am just going to keep exercising how I want!!!....too confusing and annoying all those this and that's....walking/hiking is just fine.
I don't know how I am supposed to run, jog, fast walk in a pasture with hills/a small mountain....that's pushing it MR!!!
swimming is just not good enough exercise either anymore evidently.....according to him.
my stress levels just elevate going to see him at the medical office when I am sick!
just another day...
some things are just never good enough for people...

prairie dog.....
The hot weather outdoors is getting hotter all the time...Goofball likes to stay underneath a shade tree where his water bowl and food are located near his dog house and sleep....
He has dug into the ground and made sort of a cavern and I went to find him yesterday morning and i didn't see him right then...All of the sudden he jumped up out of the cavern he has dug into the ground....haha!....he can dig really good and far down with those paws and claws!
It was funny he was hiding from me and i have been running a little water in the "cavern" to cool it off then he gets right back in there....Haha! he is a burrowing dog i guess?!!
he reminds me of those cute little prairie dogs that we have in the area...they are like little ground squirrels and they chatter at each other then jump up out of their burrows and then go back down to their homes/families...they are cute! they always dig homes under the ground
I told Goofball:" You must be part prairie dog, except you are not the same height at all ! you can dig like them though" and he barked at me...haha!
those little prairie dogs are so cute to watch and they all need to live in the country to be kept safe...they have in the past eradicated them in a local city because they were bothersome with their burrowing.....It made me sad when they eradicated them..i saw that in the news....
There are many out in the country and they should all be protected....they are just little innocent things...they chatter and "bark" at things..they should be kept safe and left alone....people are mean to them! idiots try to hurt them!...*sadness*
i wonder if they can move them to safer areas from the local city?...

Comanche Nation.....
I have several friends that are Native American and they are very kind and caring...We grew up together from small children to adult....and there are several that I know from my hometown.....very sweet people!
They are Comanche....
So many people from everywhere do not know enough about the Comanche Tribe and all of the beautiful artwork and hand craft they have....
They have many items that you can purchase and when you see those items you will not believe how beautiful they are.
The artistry of the Comanches is very unique and the colors they use are amazing.
One thing that I really like that is apart of their hand craft is a technique they have called seed beading and I like anything that they seed bead...it is very tedious work with very colorful designs and it is apart of their culture...
The boys that I grew up with know how to draw and paint....they are very creative and their art is so good that I am slightly jealous!.....Haha!...I can't draw or paint as good as they all do!
the list goes on and on with all of the artwork and handcraft they have...I like all of their art!...The Jewelry is very beautiful too...Sculpture, Pottery, Painting, Seed Beaded hand crafted items, many other hand crafted items as well....
So many very beautiful, colorful, and creative items to purchase and I like all of them...
They have many museums that you can go stop by and see...
People need to always respect the Native American tribes they are some of the nicest people...

yarn working/cross stitch....inexpensive small craft kits....
Creativity can be in any form..painting, clay, fabrics, sewing, paper, drawing, bead working....and sometimes even threads and yarn....there are many things that are art and creativity...
One thing I do know about thread/yarn is that you can be very artistic and creative with them by sewing, cross stitch, crochet, knitting, looming, and bead work with threads/sewing.
I like cross stitching you can purchase the kits in some stores and follow the instructions and create some very beautiful pictures with thread....It takes a while to complete cross stitch and it is something many people like to work on....
sewing clothing by using patterns, quilting, knitting/crocheting are things that many women in my family like to work on....it's an old tradition....yarn and thread.....
yarn work is something that I think is very creative and looks like a lot of work.....looming and placing dye on the yarn is very unique to see...I like that...I like all the different colors of yarn and threads....
at one time many years ago you could find in stores, painting/crafting kits with instruction for about $5..They had small wooden cut out craft pieces and they needed to be painted and assembled with glue..
The crafting kit included a picture of what your finished project should look like after you complete the kit...it sometimes included other pieces you glued onto the project to make it more realistic....
I liked those small craft kits like that...I always purchased those when I was a little girl..they were for everyone to work on....I miss those!...I think they were rustic/country charm projects...you could place them on shelves and decorate with them.....oh well.

affordable groceries.....
When you have so many people who you have to shop for and take to the grocery stores it can be time consuming and it can get expensive when you look down at your grocery lists and your Grandma wants this or that and Grandpa wants something entirely different too and you have to help them make the shopping expedition work, along with taking them to get their prescriptions...it gets expensive!
we have always managed to make the grocery lists work and make them less expensive by purchasing groceries at a few chain stores that are geared toward being less expensive....Purchase a few items here, there, and another store....they make it all work right and not be so costly...
ALDI and Save A Lot are two of the grocery store chains that we like to shop in and several other family members shop those stores as well and save money...People also I think need to shop in their small town local grocery store and support their town store...you don't have to travel as far when you live in desolate areas by shopping there....
Whenever I am near the city I like to shop at the grocery store called Crest...It is very nice and clean...I have also listened to many people say that they like it too....
many of these grocery stores have paper ads in the newspapers and some also have ads online that advertise their prices of items...it's good to always read those ads and compare them to see what's more affordable where...I like that anyway.
they are always clean and affordable so we like that, and we just go in and shop for whatever grocery items we need.....
it is Sunday so I am going to read and study my Bible...

Farmers Co-op......
Farmers Co-op is a place we have always sold wheat to..I like watching them use the elevators and store the grain in the granary during wheat time....We passed by there yesterday and it wasn't too busy...I suppose they are happy that wheat season is pretty much over....
I like Farmers Co-op.....we have always purchased feed from there and other local feed stores..You can just truck your wheat easily at the Farmers Co-op.....just wear a dust mask if you wanna be there all day..lots of dust!
Feed granary and mills are things a farmer needs locally accessible to operate your farm....It creates many jobs and helps your local economy...I like purchasing bags of feed from local feed companies in the state and helping the state prosper...I know every farmer wants to shop local for their agriculture supplies and to sell their grains....
when so many farmers live way out in the middle of nowhere it is tough to find a good place to sell and purchase all mandatory agriculture feeds/seeds, treatments, within just a few miles...
Mills are needed in more areas and more major feed companies are needed to help relieve the miles and far distances the farmers have to travel to get their tasks completed when operating vast farms...
a farmer is a producer and they should always be appreciated because without them their would be no food to feed the world.....
businesses like Farmers Co-op, local feed mills/granary/stores are needed to support the farmers so they can survive....
thinking randomness....
I see that the rodeo season is winding down...I haven't had time to go to any rodeos....
I sure wish that I could go horseback riding...my hips have been hurting for quite a while now from falls and arthritis....they will get better I know...late evening when it's cool is the best time for horseback riding.....it's peaceful.....

dangerous excessive heat in summer......
The heat outside is getting much worse and the temperatures are rising...I always think about all the people without air conditioning and ceiling or oscillating fans!
Air conditioning is expensive for people when you have to continually run it....I know that you need oscillating, box, or ceiling fans to help with the heat in your home....
many people can get sickened by the heat and when you cannot cool, your body temperature rises and you can over heat and have heat strokes, dehydrate and pass out sometimes...it is dangerous.
the local weathermen will sometimes issue Heat Advisory or Warnings on tv when it gets too hot and that always make me say:"I hope Summer is over soon!" *annoyed*
I like to always drink plenty of water in the summer it is good for you at all times but necessary in the summer....
cooling fan drives are something that I think many areas should have so everyone will be able to have a fan to cool off with.....and stay safe from the heat
as always pets need to have shade and extra fresh water/food daily in the summer time and keep their bowls cleaned because the summer heat can cause extra bacteria making them sick.....I like to keep the ground watered down nearby where they stay in the shade so they can cool off that way..they like it...just not too much water though on the ground....
wearing light colored clothing helps cool you in summertime and misting fans, carrying bottled water in coolers is also good...
wearing hats and sunglasses to shield your face/eyes from sun is also something I like to wear to keep cool when outdoors....
I like to always keep my purchases that need to stay refrigerated in an ice chest cooler in the vehicle so it will stay cool/frozen on the drive home from stores...and won't spoil in the summer heat...insulated freezer/cooler bags are also something that will keep your purchases nice and cool/frozen in the summer....you just can't leave them in the vehicle over several hours though ya know?!!
picnics or outdoor summer cookouts/grilling should always be safe by making sure that the foods don't spoil...they can't stay out many hours in the sun/heat...bacteria will grow and you will get sick....food prep should always be clean at all times...I like that.
keeping home windows shaded and covered will help cool your home and sometimes help with electricity bills...keeping the sun out of your home by covering those windows really helps...I have always done that....
excessive heat can make your body ache, swell, and hurt...
my rib cage on one side and my sternum have been swelling due to the heat and I have been lifting on heavy things I shouldn't have ( I know better than that!) *sad face*....it caused my arthritis from an old injury to swell and hurt...I guess I pulled that cartilage loose again or something!...but that is just an example of the way this kind of heat can make you hurt as well.....
it is an old injury from when I was younger and then I fell again a few years ago and it is painful in the summer and very cold winter....
I am taking Tylenol for my swelling/pain they said last time it did this to take Ibuprofen to make the pain/swelling go away but it makes my stomach upset so I just stay with Tylenol.....
I have been placing ice in a small freezer storage bag and freezing it...then I place that over the swelling but over my clothing and set there...it helps for a while....very uncomfortable...
I am not whining or complaining I am tough!...haha!...but arthritis is something that I battle all the time with my body I have it several places and I hurt often....
I HATE arthritis!!!

parties / celebrations........
Taking my pool down since summer is almost over...It is a mess!...I have drained it and now it needs to be placed back into the box along with all the other items that belong with it......that is a task and a lot of tough work....
My grandpa's birthday is soon so I am going to make him a birthday cake, purchase him some birthday balloons and a card.....
We have in the past had Birthday parties for him and it can get pricey!....I remember we went to several stores gathering items for his birthday party because many friends/family were invited at the church.....so with that many people invited we had to purchase and supply extra items for the party...
We went to several stores to purchase enough paper plates, cups, napkins, banners, balloons, party favors, plastic silverware, paper tablecloths.....
Party City is one store we like and we purchased many of these things there...
But in that amount of time we had, they ran out of some things/were not available, so we went to the Dollar Tree, Dollar General, Family Dollar, to their party supply aisles and purchased more...it was more affordable that way and we were exhausted but happy they had all the items there as well!....
we themed it cowboy and his favorite color.....he liked that! and we made his birthday cake cowboy....you can purchase the birthday cakes in other stores but we like to make our own sometimes...it is more work and fun to make cakes/cupcakes and I know that! also we like to make our own punch to drink...
I just like to always make Birthdays and all celebrations very pretty, themed, colorful, and I like to purchase balloons, cards, party favors and party favor plastic bags, plastic silverware, tablecloths, napkins, table top decorations, banners, and send invitations.....
you don't have to have all those items to have a nice celebration because it can cost a lot, but when I have extra money or someone else is helping pay on the party we will purchase all those items...
the Dollar Stores need to have many more items on their party aisles...Dollar Tree does good with their party aisle I think......
celebrations should be good memories and affordable....always purchasing those items and having favorite color items/themes there is wonderful...haha!
taking pictures at these celebrations and placing them in photo albums or scrapbooks is nice...for remembering that day...
good thing that I don't have to purchase all this stuff for his birthday this year or plan a ginormous party!....just making a birthday cake for him, a card and balloons from me....he will appreciate that.
birthday candles are nice to have.....number candles work best when your birthday age is doubled.....he always laughs about those candles every birthday!.....haha!

baseball cards and (autocollant) sticker collecting.....
I was able to go to town yesterday and I was approached outside a store by a woman who was asking people for money..
She got too close to me and she told me a story about how her children needed money for doctor bills and she was from California new to town and she looked messed up...her eyes were red and weird looking...scary....her accent was clearly way south.....
I told her no I sure don't have any money...if I did have that much money I would use that for my own bills!
I thought yeah I bet your kids need money for bills or do your kids even exist?...then I thought that they probably do exist and she uses them for sympathy or for a story to kidnap somebody because she kept looking all back behind me all over the parking lot like she had someone there to get me....I just was cautious and I watched her...she kept staring at me and behind me.....
I am always cautious and looking out for myself to watch for danger....
it's awful when women and men want to hurt others or manipulate others...endanger lives...disgusting people.....and I think it's against the law to ask for money like that...is it called panhandling?....it was spooky...
anyway--
I was there in town and I took my grandma to town and we went to a few stores for things she needed....
I have been purchasing a few stickers here and there when I have extra money since they are fairly inexpensive to collect and I went to Dollar Tree..They have a lot of new stickers there and I purchased a few sets....just $1/set...and they are stickers so I got a few they were:
Destinations
Fruit
Dinosaurs
Mermaids
Foxes
Ninja Turtles...haha my brother will be so jealous!
Strawberries
Eiffel Tower
Sesame Street....liked this show when I was a little girl
I also found Hello Kitty in a small packaged set separate by the cash register...I like those separate small packs like that, it was that way when I was younger....
I was going through my sticker collection and I found these that I purchased 2 months ago in other stores they are:
Airplanes
Fire Trucks/Safety
Camping
Vacation
Grilling
Tiny Dogs/Cats
Forest animals
Pests
Halloween and Pumpkins (almost that time of year again)
Baseball
and I have been trying to start collecting Baseball cards again...It is a fun hobby and it shows support for our Baseball Teams and Players...My Brother likes to collect Baseball Cards and he has taken good care of his and has them packaged neatly in a collecting book....
collecting Baseball cards is something I want to start again to collect in my own collecting book....Baseball is the sport of summer....and I like to find all the cards I can right now....
collecting books keep the cards clean, away from all contaminants so they will hold their value in later years.....
I keep my stickers (autocollants) packaged/sealed and in a plastic storage container away from contaminants also....
She got too close to me and she told me a story about how her children needed money for doctor bills and she was from California new to town and she looked messed up...her eyes were red and weird looking...scary....her accent was clearly way south.....
I told her no I sure don't have any money...if I did have that much money I would use that for my own bills!
I thought yeah I bet your kids need money for bills or do your kids even exist?...then I thought that they probably do exist and she uses them for sympathy or for a story to kidnap somebody because she kept looking all back behind me all over the parking lot like she had someone there to get me....I just was cautious and I watched her...she kept staring at me and behind me.....
I am always cautious and looking out for myself to watch for danger....

rural trash services.....
Trash services are something that are needed not just in town/cities but in rural areas....I like the rural trash service available in the area and I think about how much waste is taken to the waste dump by the trash service and NOT thrown out into the creeks/ditches/all roads and nature....
but there's always more rural trash services needed to cover all these miles of countryside....
I get very angry when people throw out trash in our rural areas!...they throw old couches, trash bags full of trash, house lumber of all kinds...it's sad to destroy nature and pollute the rural areas.....bringing all kinds of nastiness and just dumping it out here...
I have seen all kinds of people from town/cities doing that and it makes me mad! go take it to the town/city dump idiots you live there in town!!! don't bring your crap out here to dispose of it!!!
They need more recycling bins in towns/cities and that would help with waste and people thinking they need to take their junk and dump it out here...it's usually lazy rednecks, or just lazy people who take their trash and couches to the country and throw it off in a creek...idiots....that's so stupid...sick of them...
It needs to be affordable to everyone to have a trash service that is rural and those in towns/cities....it keeps life simpler/cleaner/and more sanitary....
I always keep my trashes in a plastic container/bin that they provide when you have rural trash service and it is affordable....a certain day of the week just like in town you have to have everything ready for the trash truck...and by the driveway....
trash service is something that is very much needed in all areas..and trash dumps in certain locations that are sanitary(away from water supply and heavily populated areas) because they smell terribly and could run after rain storms/flooding....
I always think when I see an idiot throwing trash or a couch out the back of a vehicle and I see trash all over a yard or a road-----
I think about something called a trash bag....
and how inexpensive an entire box of trash bags costs...cheap!.....a little work never hurt anybody!...how tough is it to pick up trashes and place them in a trash bag then tie the string on the trash bag and put that into the trash bins???!
some people need to try much, much more about keeping things clean, neat, orderly and think about sanitary issues not just in town but in all rural areas....
trash dumping and trash everywhere makes things very ugly and it is nasty and disgusting to not clean things up at all times and keep thing neat and orderly...
many more good trash services in towns/cities and rural areas would be great for the world....

i like butterflies......
Butterflies are beautiful graceful creatures.
they make me smile.
I saw a few flying in the backyard yesterday and one it seemed that it wanted to land on my arm....It got very close to my arm and it never landed...I think it must have wanted to rest or something there on my arm or hand.....
Oklahoma has many types of butterflies that like to glide on the wind...It is very windy somedays and I wonder how can something be so small like that, fly and keep flying in winds that strong?......just like little birds who can fly in strong winds.....I think they keep flying because they have to....
I like all butterflies and they are all very beautiful to me...I think the blue ones are very pretty and I also like the Monarch Butterfly it is very colorful and pretty...It is a larger butterfly and I like to watch them.....I think they travel here from Mexico and like to fly and make landings in several areas of the country....it's nice they stop by and like the flowers....very cheerful and brightly colored....
I like the bright orange colors of the Monarch Butterfly....
but anyway---
I think we all sometimes are like butterflies and little birds we have to keep flying in all bad or tough things to survive.....you can never give up trying or being strong or stronger in life against all bad/sad/stressful situations.....when you keep flying you get through those awful situations and you may get through a little torn up but you survive when you never give up!!!
you may seem so small trying to survive against some of the most tough/upsetting/stressful dangerous situations but always remember that even the smallest most graceful creatures can survive those situations.....if they can..you can survive as well by never giving up and working on being stronger....
so when I look at small creatures like butterflies or any other small creature that faces something terrible/dangerous/sad and overwhelming I think if they can survive everybody can too!....they always fly against the strongest winds and keep on flying...we all should do that..just be brave, strong and never give up on life....
keep on going against all challenges and bad situations....things will get better it just takes time to get stronger and to get through bad times....then they are over in your life or better!

chocolates.....
Chocolate is something that I like.
Oklahoma has a really nice chocolate company called Bedre Chocolates it is owned by the Chickasaw Nation....I have tried some of their chocolate and I really like it....it's my favorite and it's local so I like that.
They have a website you can purchase from also.
my other chocolates that I like to purchase are from Hershey's, Ghirardelli, Cadbury, Nestle and the Willy Wonka chocolate too....I like all of their chocolate/candy....
I like to purchase chocolate chips in some of those brands whenever I make chocolate chip cookies at home....
the smell of chocolate is something that I like very much and it is something that you can purchase anywhere....but the Bedre Chocolates you would have to purchase online from their company's store....sometimes I can find a Bedre display here in Oklahoma but not always, depends on where I am at....
I wish that Bedre Chocolate was available more often in more stores...it is very good.
as you know in the fall/winter I like nothing better than to drink hot chocolate in the cold...I will purchase Swiss Miss mix packages and I also like a brand of hot chocolate called Abuelita it is a very nice hot chocolate that is available in packages/mixes(sometimes) and then you can also purchase the chocolate disks and melt them in a pan/add hot water...
those are very nice hot chocolates to drink in fall/winter or whenever you wish to.....I like to drink hot chocolate in any of my favorite coffee mugs....
Yoo-hoo is a chocolate drink I have liked since I was a small child....it's also a favorite of mine.
chocolate soap is something that I have been wanting to make so I can bathe in the smell of chocolate...I found a recipe online to make the chocolate soap..i just am having a tough time finding all the needed ingredients to make a few soap bars....

honey bees, bee keeping, beeswax honey products......
Honey bees and bee keeping is something I have always been very interested in.
I like raw organic honey that is locally grown...you can purchase it in glass jars from local producers that have bee boxes/hives and they will take their honey jars to farmer's markets, grocery stores, fruit stands sometimes in the summer....
one time I had an allergy doctor tell me that I could purchase honey and ingest it to help with my severe allergy problems....the pollen in the area is local that the bees take to the hives and it is supposed to make you immune to some certain pollens he told me when you have honey with meals.....it depends on where you are or how your body's immune system is probably...I think it has helped me before. my allergies/asthma have been very bad again lately and I think I am going to have to purchase some more local honey....
it also helps your local bee/honey producers to purchase their honey/products....
my Grandparents at one time purchased local honey in a very large glass jar from a man they knew and he placed a small piece of honey comb in the jar....my Grandpa liked that!..it looked very pretty in the jar....the color is nice.....whenever I like honey with meals I like usually to put margarine/butter on my toast and then drizzle honey over that for breakfast....good.
it takes a lot of work and effort to be a beekeeper I know....you have to care for the hive and bees at all times and gather honey...also keep things clean....purchase all bee keeping supplies and if you are allergic to bee stings you definitely do not need to be a beekeeper!
gathering the honey is something that has to be done quite often.
I have allergies to wasps but not honey bees....
I think honey bees are cute and it makes me sad so many of them are disappearing due to outer influences in nature....they are necessary to our environment and to have honey....hopefully they will be able to grow in numbers again....
there are many products that you can make from honey and beeswax that I really like....I like all kinds of beeswax/honey items that I have purchased at festivals/fairs....beeswax candles, hand lotions, lip balms, homemade soaps, candies, and jars of honey...
I like all homemade products that are made local.....
I have been working with polymer clay this summer again...making figurines and I made a honey bee...it's very cute!....

stinky raw sewage and nasty disgusting houses......
Oh, nothing smells better in the summertime than the smell of raw sewage from a open pit lagoon or a dilapidated sewer system!....*puke*
lagoons?! everyone NEEDS sewage systems/sewage tanks!...this is very serious and dangerous to have lagoons!
This house north of me has got an open pit lagoon and when it rains raw sewage runs across the road!...it makes me puke and the smell now that it's summertime makes me even sicker! All kinds of trash there and a nasty looking trailer house....
I have seen that in the last couple of months when I drove past there all kinds of women outside at that house.....troublemaking!
Then on the drive northeast to the next road starting at the corner it smells like sewer and all kinds of garbage lying around...20 foot sunflower trees...haha...they all need mowed down and an old dilapidated trailer house that is falling apart and looks like traffic has been in the driveway....nasty mess!
then on east there is a ginormous 2 story house that I have seen all kinds of trash blowing in the drive and traffic, cars, people all in that driveway...lights at night across the creek....that whole road is creepy and sickening to me.....
across the road from that house is another dilapidated old 2 story house that has bones hanging on the house!...spooky looking and what is up with that mess?!! nasty, junky, trashy, disgusting looking crap...people in the driveway...lights on at night across the creek....yelling at night...cars in the driveways all hours....it just sickens me to look at all these houses!
then to the final corner of that road is an old deserted dilapidated tore up house..the windows and doors are kicked in and a wall is kicked out...I have seen people parked in the driveway and standing around, going in and out of the house during the day when I have drove past there...and it must have some electricity at some time because I could see lights on at night across there way across that pasture and cars spinning tires!....all kinds of people there and I know that there must be something very evil and nasty going on with that house and all these houses I'm talking about..spooky!
the smaller house just north of that house was the same nasty disgusting mess! and then on north and then back east..i have seen all kinds of women at another tore up deserted house there, sitting outside in their bath robes smoking and staring when I have drove past there and it makes me want to puke......bath robes on the porch!!? and it was many women! something bad was probably going on with that mess...it scares me!
these deserted dilapidated nasty houses cause many, many problems, troubles for people who live in rural areas...it makes me literally sick at my stomach to look at or even start to imagine what in the heck has been going on with those houses and the people in them or near them...troublemaking I'm sure...it just really turns my stomach and I get sick about things like this I have seen...
they need to bull doze down these nasty houses and clean up these nasty trashy looking messes all in the driveways and everywhere...nothing makes me madder or more upset than having to drive down these roads and see this..get scared/upset and wonder why something like these disgusting people and houses is still standing or even near here!!!...something awful, evil, and spooky I'm sure!
I just think about raw sewage, leaking septic tanks, trash and I think how very unsanitary that is for the water supply and the water I drink everyday!...I'm worried and sick of seeing all this nastiness! they all need to be tore down/took apart and took off to a trash dump somewhere far, far away!....
you never know what is going on with these people and I worry about contaminants in the water supply and the air...I have smelled very strong chemical odors when I have drove past several of these houses..it was so strong I almost fainted!....
it just makes me very sick and nastiness like that everyday you have to see that when you have to travel down these roads it is spooky and disgusting....
nothing makes me madder than a nasty filthy, stinky mess and when it is everywhere on these roads I get really sick and upset about it!
it is in towns/cities too I know...but all messes like that are just disgusting...rednecks!
I have lost a lot of sleep worrying about all this....

small town newspapers....
So many newspapers in these small towns are closing up and going away....I'm sure that it's due to no money or not many people living in these small towns much anymore..
They at one time in local newspapers would have more things that were not news related...things that were moreso fun and recreational to read or work on...like word searches.
I liked a recipe they would place weekly in the local newspapers and it was so cute! it was a mouse and it had recipes weekly in it...It was called I think Rookie Cookie recipes...It was cute! I wish it was still in the local newspapers and more word searches, weather, fun facts, funnies, like they had 10yrs ago...
They need to cover more stories that matter to all people and that more people can tell their story of what was going on that or this day with them..not just the same old, same old story that the town 15 miles away covered a week ago!...maybe be more creative with their information...
I really think small towns need newspapers, and better quality printers and equipment...to keep people informed of goings on in town and go out there and talk to people about a lot of great things like ceremonies, ribbon cuttings, celebrations of all people, they could cover county area things as well to let these distant small town people know that things are going on in the county....and put more businesses information in there as well...phone numbers to those local area businesses would be helpful as well....
I like the old style print I have found on vintage newspapers my grandparents have saved...looks very unique and different...
color ink is also good to have as well....sometimes they don't have any ink I think!
affordable subscriptions would be good as well...or being able to pay them every 2 weeks would be better for some people.....some newspapers want a lot of money paid down for the whole year all at once and that drives subscribers away I think...I have heard my family gripe about that!
newspapers can bring back small town charm just by changing and being more creative and colorful...anything rustic is also nice as well!
town newspapers should be for everyone in the community and surrounding rural areas also...not just certain people...

summertime honey, vegetables, and fruits....
The tomatoes are growing really good.
They are turning very red and they ripen in the sun...I like to set them in a window so the sun will ripen them more quickly.They are really good on a sandwich, salad, or sometimes just sliced by themselves to snack on....
I like the smell of the tomato vines..i know that's weird probably but they have a clean smell to me....haha....no tomato worms on the vines or anything so that's doing just fine!
canning some tomato juice in a week or so with my Grandma...I like to make the juice and save it for soups and other cooking later in the fall season....
really enjoy making salsa with my fresh tomatoes also...I really like pico de gallo! it's nice with tortilla chips....
sopapillas are also something I like to make in the summer....I like them with locally organic raw honey...I like honey bees....
pickled the last of the beets in my garden and it made 4 jars.....
going to pick some corn in the garden and grill it on the grill.....it is very good with a little margarine and a small amount of chili powder...I just leave the green leaves on the corn cob and grill it for 15mins or so...then remove it....peel the green leaves off of the cob and add margarine and your chili powder...really nice!
one of my favorite things to do in the summer as well is purchase watermelon whole and place it in the refrigerator so it will be very cold...then I like to slice it and enjoy it that way...I always try to find a watermelon that is yellower on the bottom....sometimes they are riper....I like both the yellow/orange and the red watermelons.....seedless is good but I don't find it much locally....
the watermelons and cantaloupes did not grow this summer due to all the flooding rains...so I purchase them at the fruit stand or the grocery store..i always wash all my vegetables or fruits before I slice them/prepare them....
bananas are a fruit that I purchase moreso in summertime and when they ripen too quickly and turn dark I like to place them in a plastic storage bag and freeze them in the freezer...later on I make banana bread out of them...so that way they are not wasted...
I think I am going to make banana bread soon....I cleaned out my freezer and found a storage bag of them...I like to make banana bread and other breads...
They are turning very red and they ripen in the sun...I like to set them in a window so the sun will ripen them more quickly.They are really good on a sandwich, salad, or sometimes just sliced by themselves to snack on....
I like the smell of the tomato vines..i know that's weird probably but they have a clean smell to me....haha....no tomato worms on the vines or anything so that's doing just fine!
canning some tomato juice in a week or so with my Grandma...I like to make the juice and save it for soups and other cooking later in the fall season....
really enjoy making salsa with my fresh tomatoes also...I really like pico de gallo! it's nice with tortilla chips....

a work in progress.....
Everyone has something that they think needs changed about themselves...
Something that is annoying or not good about themselves....
If you want to change how you are or how you feel all the time you can do that if you really want to achieve that in your life, by making some good changes....getting rid of the bad and the things that are troublesome/annoying with yourself
Changes that bring good to yourself do not happen just overnight...sometimes they may take years to work on....sometimes a week or a few days...depending on how severe your problems may be with yourself...
A "work in progress" is what I call that...you have to constantly work on yourself to change and keep that in mind everyday....just never give up on changing things about yourself that are causing upset and are bad..always try to change for the better of yourself!
nobody is perfect...everyone makes mistakes...some really bad...some small....just all mistakes and if they are ginormous mistakes it can take longer to change yourself...but if that is the case, you just cannot give up wanting to better yourself no matter how much time it takes...
wanting to better yourself is always a good thing.
many people know they have issues within themselves and they know they want to get better....it takes a lot of determination to change and get over things they have been through that have led them down the wrong paths in life.....
I never judge people who mess up or take the wrong path and make mistakes...because I know I have not lived what they have been through, and I always know that nobody is perfect....nobody should be the judge of anyone--only God can....that's what I think anyway.
change can be spooky but it is also good to change from the wrong/bad things in life....When you want to be good for yourself it also helps your loved ones when you change to good....it helps keep less stress and sadness about you out of their lives!...because then they don't worry about you so much and you don't hurt their feelings....everyone is happier.
being healthy and ridding your life of awful bad/sad things is always what I think a person should try to work on and achieve...seek medical help for your mind and your body as well to stay healthy..your mind is a very important thing to always work on making better everyday....
things can/will get better, you just cannot give up on having hope for your life and yourself....
being strong in times of trouble is always a good place to start and going through tough times is also something that can bring upsets and make you feel bad/sad/emotional.....When you have to stand on your own all alone and face many spooky or challenging times never stop believing in yourself and being strong to get through it.....
sometimes you just have no choice but to be strong and tough for yourself...to achieve things, face things, and make things better for yourself and your loved ones...you have to be the one to face these terrible things and you have to be the one to make things better and at those times you know you are the only one that can make this happen...everyone goes through these times in life.
being stronger and tougher is always a good change when you use that for the good in the world and make the world safer and more beautiful....
being stronger and tougher is always good when you kick bad people's butts too!....haha!

bingo...a favorite of mine....
My Grandma was talking about playing Bingo several years ago at a local Bingo Hall....I giggled.
a lot of people enjoy Bingo.
I can remember her and my Grandpa taking me with them one time when I was younger and they would go once a week....Grandma always had her own special dauber she used on the cards to play and she loaned me one to play cards with.
Gotta love Bingo!....haha......I really enjoy it and I like playing this game.
they have all colors of daubers(like markers) and they even have glittery ones.You can purchase your own and take it to the Bingo Hall with you....just do not lose the dauber!
it's just something to do for fun....I don't know why i enjoy playing Bingo so much but it's probably a favorite game of mine.
i have had a Bingo game just for using at home but i liked going with my Grandparents all those years ago....
you can play Bingo in town and sometimes they play for prizes of all kinds...but i don't care about prizes...i just like the game.
sometimes in my hometown they have had Bingo games and they have the whole set of daubers, a Bingo cage set, and the paper Bingo cards....
i just think those town Bingos are really good for people to get out and take part in..something to work on....young and old can play.
and it should be safe/secure and never tacky or nasty at those halls...a lot of those Bingo Halls need cleaned up! and bad people should never be staying around there causing troubles.
there should be more Bingo Halls in the area i think to give people recreation...you know...It's Tuesday let's go Bingo!....but stay away from troublemakers...
