It seemed simple . I wanted some tylenol. Very simple.. I had a head ache- I wanted tylenol. I asked the guy behind the counter for the tylenol.. ( a fast quick stop type place) He then went into the following: extra strength? caplets or tablets, bottle w/ screw lid or pop off. I looked at him as he continued. The clerk beside him... a woman, and someone who wasn't still in her teen years. .. rolled her eyes.. I stated... I WANT TYLENOL NOW!. He started again. tylenol pm or arthritis for...

Recently a friend's close friend's child died after being in this world 3 days. She had a rare heart defect. At times words aren't easy to say.. my friend expressed the need for us to listen to those who have lost a loved one.. even at this early an age.. It helps with the healing process. I will admit it has been hard at times to listen to someone who lost a loved one. even if it was someone they had know all their lives.. like a grandparent, parent, etc. But to listen to someone talki...

Tomorrow I finish my work week,, not a day too soon. If it could have gone wrong since Saturday.. it has. From the car, to the IRS, (finally heard from them), to the dishwasher. Even the cat was a pain. But I'm going to survive, things could have gone worse, things are functioning.. except the dishwasher, and I have a 3 day weekend ahead of me. Just received a text message that my 8 week old grandson now weighs 12.5 pounds. He's wearing 3-6 month size, and my daughter swears he grow...

I crawled out of bed.. dressed, grabbed lunch & breakfast, and headed out the door. WOW,, the wind was strong, stepped back in, put on warmer jacket, and left again. That is when I saw it. SNOW!!!!!!!!! It was snowing! Not a blizzare, but it was coming down! It was beautiful. The ground was slowly being covered, I was sooo happy. By 9:00 a.m. it was history. It was like Mother Nature had this small amount left over and was cleaning out the attic before bringing in spring. I ...

I have Fridays off. I slept in. I woke up, turned up heater, and then took a nap. I finally got up about 9 a.m, fixed breakfast, and that is about all I have accomplished. I did absolutely nothing so far... I'm playing w/ my cable's brand of tyvo... I love it, my daughter talked me into it. It was extremely easy to set up.. and have everything programmed into the remote except my stereo... not sure it that is going to make it. I've set up my favorite shows to record, reminders,and...

I'm taking a break from cleaning, and decided to do some shopping. Believe it or not.. I am not one that really loves shopping in malls.. or just shopping for the fun of it. Yarn stores... welll that is another subject... won't go there... So today... I'm doing some perusing of the net, trying to get the Easter basket for the grandkids started. Now, I am the mother of a daughter, and yes, she deserves a basket of her own. Son-in-law will prob get a fish.. (salt water) coupon, just...

The month of March has 2 full moons... thus a blue moon. The first and the last Saturday of the month. This is fairly rare.. and not to be really enjoyed.

They come out of the woodwork.. They complain that something that happend 15 months ago on their account can not be found this second and they are going t...

I'm organizing & cleaning out closets.... yeah I 'm strange.. but it needed doing..... So.. I found this box, it looked familar, but I couldn't remember why.. I opened it up.. and guess what? I found over $100.00 in singles! Now this would be perfect if I wanted to go to certain type clubs... but, it meant something else. When I was trying to quit buying a pop every day... I would put the dollar bill in the box... and I could watch myself save money!. Well, a few moves.. the addi...

leaving San Diego it was around 65...Arriving in KC, it was 4. What is wrong w/ this picture? There was snow, ice and wind! I had left my coat at home... and only had a light blouse & a long sleeve shirt to brave the cold. My girlfriend picked me up thankfully, and we made it to my home nice and warm. I had about 2 minutes max in the cold till I was inside my home. My cat was very ticked off she was having to be without me for over a week, the fish were glad to be fed,and all in all no b...

I was playing w/ my granddaughter, when she did something that reminded me of my daughter. Let's just say my granddaughter is determined. My daughter was more easily explained to. I could usually reason with her even at a young age. Well, granddaughter had an expression I had seen too many times, and lol. My daughter said thank you, please, and welcome at a very early age. I felt these were important words. back to the story... My daughter was discussing w/ granddaugther the impo...
