electric heaters......

I know that it will be chilly weather sometime soon, it always is in late October, almost time for winter season.....

Many times heating your home with no fireplace, with the heat/air that you have installed in your home, or with living in an older home that leaks air and needs unaffordable repairs, sometimes it can be VERY difficult to keep warm!

There are several portable plug into the wall electric space heaters that you can purchase to warm your rooms of your home simply, they are all prices...

You should always be VERY careful when you have these plugged into the wall outlet because they can overheat and catch your home on fire as any fire or heat source may do so!...ALWAYS watch and monitor your heaters no matter the type, and NEVER leave them plugged into the wall, and turned on while you are away or gone for the day/night...these need to be monitored closely at all times......

Best place to set these heaters would be somewhere OFF of the carpet....or place something sturdy and clean there on top of the carpets or rugs, then place heater on to that, that way it won't  touch the carpet....

I have several space heaters, my home is older and an old farm house that has been remodeled, it leaks air and is sometimes too COLD Brr! in the winter season, and often way too HOT! yikes! in the summer season!!!....can be so very annoying and uncomfortable but oh well it's home......be happy with what you have as they say!.....

take good care......

Apple Cinnamon scented Glade, Airwick or off brand this time of year?...I found some....lol....

I think that every time I am setting in the vehicle with the windows rolled down, or stopped at a stop sign, whatever it may be when I am outside, bees or wasps always find me and want to annoy me...they fly in the window at me!!!...I guess I smell like sugar possibly!...lol....Bumble bees, wasps, honey bees, always go right to me...no matter where I am or what I am outdoors working on, they always find me!

thinking about how we all need to show we care about one another and show support for our loved ones more often....When you love and care about someone, you only wish to look out for them, and make very sure they are safe and well, at all times....

Taking good care of your loved ones should always be a top priority in your life, making very sure they make good choices in life is always something we need to care about...

Knowing that when they need help, may be in distress, or may be ill or need immediate attention medically is something we need to ALWAYS care about, even telling them the cold hard truth about their habits when they don't see how dangerous their problems is, ALWAYS tell them!...It is so very easy to lose loved ones to illness, addictions, very bad health choices and showing them you care by telling them it's time to step it up and go seek treatment at the rehabs and seek mental health counseling is a good thing to tell them before you lose them!

A person has to care about their own self, love their own self, BEFORE they could even start to care about, love another, or take care of another...that's just the truth!...

Having someone in your life with addiction is an upset and you always worry over them, cry over them, are stressed over them, so when you love someone don't hurt yourself and stay in bad habits, because while it not only hurts you, it hurts your loved ones to see you waste your life away and seriously endanger your life and theirs, and terribly hurt your body, we're not invincible at all, we are human, and I know many bad times in life can lead to addictions, but people need to let go of the pain they have suffered previously, seek mental health counseling/rehab and let go of the stupid drug addictions, seek treatment and start your life OVER while you can, before you lose it.....

when you have good loved ones who love you and care about you, you have support and you will ALWAYS have them there to be supportive when they know you are serious about seeking treatment, they will say I love you and care about you---- go to rehab and mental health counseling so we can enjoy life together----family, friends, husbands, wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, always show support for your loved ones battling through addiction and mental health issues, it is NOTHING to be ashamed of when you need to seek help and proper treatment!....so go get help, you can start your life over new.....finding good loved ones is always a blessing from above!...you don't want to waste your life and lose them because of addictions....

many times people suffer serious health issues at all ages and sometimes people are addicted to drugs terribly, this endangers their life and is a very serious situation!!!....Nobody needs to be on drugs, I know how serious it is, and how much stress it is for their loved ones, I have had it in my family all over and I know how stressful, upsetting, dangerous drugs can be....stress! sadness.

when you have people who love you and care about you, you should know you have support and you should know you don't need to keep abusing drugs, it only hurts your loved ones, and ruins relationships that are so very precious and you don't want to EVER lose something so many people have trouble finding in life....

taking care of all of our loved ones at all ages is also something we should know is something needs to be tended to, when you have elderly family or friends make it apart of your day to go and see them or ask if they need help with anything, check in on them at all times....they need to find nursing care that works and keep them safe....

when you have friends or family who you know are depressed and suffer mental issues, we need to show support and know it takes time and patience with them to become healthier....checking up on them, and trying to cheer them up is always good...tell them you care about them and you will always be there for them when they need to talk or need help with something....NEVER leave them alone by themselves, it could be dangerous when people are feeling so low and upset.....

AND if you have pets or animals, we need to always take very good care of them, bathe them, feed/water them, shelter them, tell them that you love and care about them also!!!....they're your family!

It may take an hour or two from your busy life everyday to take that extra time to care for loved ones and show your support and care for them, but go ahead and show them you care about them...so many people have setbacks, addictions, upsets, mental health issues, and we all need to know we matter and people love/care for us!.....

call, send letters, send flowers, stop by and greet them, we all should be more supportive, kind, and caring to everyone....

everyone that is apart of your life or will be apart of your life, is there for a reason...always know that, and when they are good people, we know they need to know people love and care about them!

kisses!

purchased a pumpkin.....

I went to find a pumpkin yesterday...I enjoy them yearly, I like to paint them, or decorate with them, make a fresh pumpkin pie with them, or  toasted/salted pumpkin seeds for snacks....The pumpkin I purchased at the local grocery store said it was Grown in Texas...it is from Dalhart Texas....I have been out there to Dalhart and I just wonder where the pumpkin patch is at?....I just travelled through the main highway though.....plenty of land for crops, cattle out there...I like the Texas Panhandle....

I suppose I am going to have to purchase some Johnson & Johnson Band-aids today...they are a good bandage for injuries....I have to have some all the time, I am so clumsy!.....lol.....they're my favorite bandage, and I also know they have a liquid bandage that you can apply to small injuries with a tiny brush....stays on and dries...

I am allergic to many plastic adhesives and Johnson & Johnson is the ONLY bandage that I am not allergic to...I have tried all of them throughout my life and I have red raised bandage areas on my skin when I remove them...oh, it's terrible!....it looks like a red bandage is there after you remove it from your skin....allergies as usual.....

other brands are good like Nexcare, Curad, they work for everyone....

looking online yesterday I found a lipstick item that I had tried many years ago, I was given a sample of it by a beautician...I enjoyed it and it worked well....Lipstick liners, and the lipstick color itself are nice!.....It's called Lip Ink and it stains your mouth so your lipstick is always there all day..IF you apply it correctly!...you don't have to worry about it when you drink something, have dinner, or when you give a kiss!....

and you don't have to keep reapplying it all day....if you're worried about make-up that is!...lol....I wear makeup sometimes when I have special events to attend or when I need to be dressed nicely.....makeup is just art to me actually, like fixing your nails, or your hair cut, style, color....just art and fun to try! you do not have to have it to be beautiful remember!... ;)

anyways,

random thought-----

I wish we had a Mardel Christian Store locally, I like to look online at everything they have for purchase, I have to travel all the way to OKC to find one of the Mardel stores!....they have everything unique you are looking for, for home, church, or to listen to, read, or enjoy Christian items...everything you can think of!...wonderful store...just wish we had one close by....

too sweet....

A person can NEVER be too sweet to others, you know, always be kind and nice!...

BUT....

I do know one thing for sure, many foods are way too sweet for me to enjoy!

I have a problem with gritty sugars on things, too sweet tea at many convenience stores, restaurants, and for purchase at grocery stores....my favorite style of tea to drink is Half n Half Tea....Half unsweet and half sweet....I wish that ALL of these stores that have fountain drink quick teas would have Half n Half Tea available...and I know the Diabetics would probably enjoy some tea available with Splenda or fake sugar of some kind.....Locally the sweet tea is just way too much sugar for me!....Half n Half tea would be nice everywhere!

Too much sugar in things makes me gag!

I enjoy cooking many desserts and I really enjoy fruit desserts, where the sweet is more natural.....

I have to have foods that are Half sweet, Half sour, half salty, half bland....a little of everything mixed in.....

I have been to so many local stops for a fountain drink and the sugar is terrible in them, not mixed properly, it is just sugar syrup.....icky!

I don't drink sodas...I haven't in 12 years now, kidney issues.....they don't filter the sodas properly and I have instant kidney infections and pain.....I know everyone has different body problems and that's one of mine....

Lemonades are a favorite and I like them....sweet and sour....

too much sugary drinks, foods, are just too much....

When I purchase a candy bar or two I don't eat them right away, I store them in containers and I enjoy them in several weeks....one day I purchased a small bag of cotton candy and a candy bar....that was in August.....I gradually finally finished those off a week ago!!!....lol.....my cotton candy was dried up....but when people see me collecting some candy at stores, I don't enjoy it all when I get home, I save it and enjoy it over the weeks..snacks I save up and store in containers because I don't live close to a town and I have to travel for all groceries/food items...

I know many people when they enjoy sweets they may have headaches, and I never have those when I enjoy sweets or desserts!...I don't know why it affects some people that way....but it doesn't me.

I have been accused of being too sweet of a person, and that is always good for me to be sweet and kind!....I just can't enjoy too sweet anything food/drink wise...icky! for me! gag!

doesn't matter......

Many times throughout my life I have had friendships that went terribly wrong because of jealousy over many stupid things.....It has always been a challenge to have friends that are women.....I know I have a few good friends that are women and men.....

I'm just a normal person, and I am grounded, I don't care about being a snob, focusing on money and all that, I'm not obsessed with being beautiful...People always say that I am beautiful, but I don't care about beauty, all I care about is being a good person and being kind to everyone....

too many times in life women it seems are made to feel that being beautiful is all that matters, and being successful is all that matters, or however many boyfriends you can have is most important, and I don't think that women should be made to be focused on being the perfect size, wearing make-up ALL the time!.....lol...

I like to just go to the store and dress casual, not wear make-up when I just go locally...I know I look terrible and like a mess sometimes at the store, I dress nicely and wear make-up for events and occasions though.....oh who cares !.......lol....make up is fun!...but I just don't wear it all the time...

BUT all women need to know that you don't need to wear make-up to be beautiful, or have materialistic items to be important, or be a perfect size to be beautiful, everyone is a beautiful person when they are a good soul......everyone is different and not all the same, and that is good.

the jealousy thing with my (Not real friends who hated me) was something that hurt me terribly and I never could figure out why all that mattered to them was way too many boyfriends, materialistic items, beauty...they had most of those things, but they would become jealous of me over stupid things, like my hair, my eyes, my smile, nail polish, just weird things they were jealous over.....

I NEVER was good enough for them...everything became a competition with them, and I never once tried to compete with them about anything in life, that's what I despise is the competition crap with people.....I don't know why they wanted to start that!..i got sick and tired of that!....I just stopped being friends with them....*eyeroll*

too many women/girls have the problem with being tacky, jealous, snobby, nasty, spiteful, hurtful, and that needs to STOP......I know it goes on with men too, but I'm just talking about things I have seen with so called "friends"......

Women, girls should all be good friends to one another, show support for one another when you have good or bad times, be a comfort to them when they need a friend to talk to, and when something good happens to them, be happy for them, NEVER jealous!....always know that being beautiful isn't what life is all about.....NEVER tell a friend they aren't beautiful enough.....or that they aren't wealthy enough, successful enough, or smart enough, or they don't have a husband and children and they are not superior because of that.......that is so tacky to be that way to your friends!!!......upsetting! I have seen this so many times with women/girls in my family and with friends....nasty behavior....disgusting.

all females need to always be supportive and kick ass together!!!.....fight nastiness/evil in the world together....help save the world together.......us girls all need to focus on ending many terrible things in the world!

don't be stand-offish, judgemental, overly critical, snobby, or belittle others when they are nearby.....the jealousy, the gossiping, the hateful attitudes need to go out the window!!! we need to always try to be better and kinder, stop all the nasty snobby......Never compete with others over anything....that's stupid.

NEVER start creating lies about others because you are jealous, this has happened to me for many years, just sick, nasty pathetic made up lies out of the mouths of nasty jealous men and women.....I have heard so many made up lying stories about myself that are sick!!!...the things they made up about me THEY were the ones out taking part in all that nasty stuff!..it's scarey.....I hadn't seen those idiots since highschool I didn't even know them anymore! (and they still hated me) and a lot of them I didn't even know and had NEVER met....I just laugh about those idiots now.....LOL.....

always know that being beautiful doesn't matter, IF someone has not many good looks? Who cares!....don't talk about how they look or how you think they need to look!....stupid....

make-up
weight
beauty
material items
money
married or single
children or no children
success or no success in life
nasty behavior

who cares?!! just don't give a damn about all that in life...it doesn't matter..

these things they are always tacky and criticize other women over, and I am so sick and tired of that! you'll hear them talking here and there everywhere about one another..they'll be nice to their face, and then soon as they leave they talk trash about one another.....real good friends huh?!....haha.....

It seems sometimes that many times women are sort of focused only on beauty and that needs to stop...I don't care about all that when I am with friends...who cares! we have many important things in the world to kick ass about!!! lol....

sure I enjoy wearing make up and dressing nicely often, but I don't focus on that all the time, especially when I am just going to a local store....lol....I look terrible and I don't care.....

the color hues of many things women wear doesn't mean anything...that is so weird!

lipstick
hair color
nailpolish color
clothing color

color hues of these things do not mean anything!!!...I have heard that lying BS for many years, she's wearing this color of nail polish, this color of lipstick, it means this or that...*eyeroll* more tacky nasty lies........stupid idiots.

IF you are a friend to anyone, always be a good one, and try to be a better person in life and that goes for everyone!
