<grumble grumble> The damn socks I’m wearing are 32. Now get off my lawn you crumb-cruncher you!
Can I get a har-rumph?
Somebody asked via PM about my “book and church” remark. So I figure to explain here in case anyone (probably SWAMPY) wants to use the idea where they worship. We keep a book - ledger-ish - in the back of the church and anyone you want added to what we call “the intentions” (where we pray for sick people and folks having hard times) you can write in there any time you have a chance; even days before Sunday worship. At the appropriate time in the service one of the ushers carries the book forward so Pastor has it all lined up and ready to read. It does two things – it gets our hearts and minds ready to think of others and offer our best to the Lord. And it saves Pastor juggling 20 badly written notes and forgetting someone or something. Feel free to pass it on to your Church Council ---- where it will disappear and never been seen again.
ruble we do kinda sorta the same thing. We maintain a list anyone can add to at anytime. We don’t read the whole list out durin’ Prayers of The People. We do say the names of those added most recently. Also, anyone can either say outloud or silently the name of anyone. Also, the list is published in the weekly service bulletin.
In other news, N.O.L. has been et. It’s a dreary day out so tonight shall be a comfort food dindin of salmon patties, smashed N.O.T., English peas, and bizkits.
Mooom, I read plans for your dinner as doing something with children. :eek: And here I thought you were nice, dammit!
Another dreary day at irk. I bowled last night. I bought beer. In my defense, our group was small enough last night that I bowled with one guy who could make a living on the pro circuit (244 and 276 respectively) and his SO (178 and 192) so I didn’t stand a chance.
Thank eeeeeeee!
This birthday was particularly meaningful since it marked the 1 year passing of my grandpa Stanley. I miss him so much. He was a grissly old coger but a wonderful man.
I went online to check with MVA, my address still hasn’t been changed.
So I chanced it again.
Then I went out to check if my Homestead Tax application was accepted and it’s not out there. However, one of the questions on it is if your address is on your license.
Called the doctor about my screwed up bill. It was explained to me that the new billing system isn’t picking up the old information. So the office will manually combine my bills. The reason I was being billed to co-pay on this bill was because when I paid the co-pay at my last visit it was applied to the previous bill.
I messed up at irk this morning.
It was a very slow morning. Anyway, when I hung up my last call I didn’t hang the phone up, I just set it down. Since any calls coming through wouldn’t go through the system logged me out. However, since we were slow I just assumed I wasn’t getting any calls.
I need to send an email telling them what happened.
Then the real blow up of the day.
I am the stupid one here I think.
OAOASO and I still have a joint checking account. I know I need to close it since the bank won’t let me take my name off.
I mostly keep it because he owes me money and it’s the easiest way for me to get it is to take it out of the joint account.
Anyway, he called me last week to tell me if the account gets overdrawn not to worry about it because he had tried to send money to his son in jail but when he found out it would take 2-3 weeks he cancelled the transaction. He didn’t put the money in the account because he found another way to send it. If the transaction came through not to worry about it because it had been cancelled and would reverse itself.
This morning money came out and I sent him a text telling him so.
So I had to call that company and make sure they are reversing the transaction, only to find out that wasn’t what it was for. I suspect somebody in his family stole one of his checks, again. That led to a big argument between us because he kept saying it’s the jail money and I said no it’s not, it’s for something else and it needs to be disputed. I set him copies of every thing and he kept saying I never listen to him he knew what it was for and I said no it’s not because I’m sitting here looking at something else. Then he said he got his niece to cancel the transaction and I thought well there you go dumb ass, you let your niece have the checking information and now we know who used the check.
Anyway, every thing is disputed, going to be refunded and I am looking into who actually used the check.
Now I can’t close the account because ti will take 7-14 business days for the money to be refunded. If the account is closed it can’t be refunded.
The doctor hadn’t called in my prescription yet. I’m out and can’t get a refill for 3 more weeks. I don’t know why it is an issue, the doctor wrote it for 1 pill 2x a day when I need 2 pills 2x a day. I had to call the pharmacy, I had to call the doctor, I had to call the surgeon and finally the pharmacy just called and said they got the script but they don’t have enough pills to fill it.
So they are gong to give me part of it now and the rest later. I feel better knowing I’m not going to bleed to death.
**Red **- I could do something with children for dinner - like take them to McD’s or let them help me cook or something equally innocent. I *am *nice, dammit!!
However, no children will be involved in our dinner. Meanwhile, I’ve got a container full of beef marinating away - tomorrow, it will become jerky. I hope **FCD **likes the recipe I picked, because I can’t stand jerky, and this marinade has a lot of pepper and chili powder in it. ick. Tomorrow will tell.
And tomorrow, I plan to make mushy peas. I really liked them when we were on our cruise and I found a recipe that seems simple and straightforward enough. So we shall see how it goes.
Meanwhile, the chicken is still thawing. Two big chickie tits. One will be for supper tonight, and the other will be cooked up and chopped up for chickie salad. Go me!
I am in sniffly/sneezey mode right now. Stoopid allergies. It’s been rainy so you’d think that would wash some of the dang stuff away. Woe! Woe! Woe is me!
Taz, AKA The Lump, just roused himself from a day-long sleep under the covers on FCD’s side of the bed. Tough life, being a cat…
I’ve emptied the dishwasher, folded and put away the laundry, mixed the marinating jerky beef and cleaned some crap out of the fridge. Not much else to do till my sweetie gets home. Tough life, being me.
I took a nap, life looks a lot better after you get some sleep.
I have to start carrying a little cash with me, my script is $1.35 and I felt so dumb handing over a debit card for that.
Then I picked up some Roy Rogers for lunch.
My back gate is slowly falling apart, I had to pick up some boards so I wouldn’t drive over them when I left. That is a project for this spring or summer.
**sari **- because of just such occasions, I try to keep between $10-$20 on me now. It was a challenge to get used to having cash, but I find a little bit is handy.
I’m giving serious thought to going to bed early. I slept pretty well last night, but there’s not much on TV today and I’m kinda draggy. I just turned on the electric mattress pad - I think when the bed is warm, I may just hop in and read myself to sleep. Or not. We shall see…
Funny. My scanner didn’t give a price but said he should be on Pallet J-13 by 9:30 PM for delivery tomorrow. I must have a different scanner. The one I want does this
In my defense, our group was small enough last night that I bowled with one guy who could make a living on the pro circuit (244 and 276 respectively) and his SO (178 and 192) so I didn’t stand a chance.
