IS IT JUST ME….…

IS IT JUST ME….… 

This is November already  AND over half of that… where is this year going??? 

It was February.. and then it was September…March thru August zoomed so fast by me..  I was hanging on to Summer so much, my fingers were marked on it.. I know it had to be so….  AND NOW IT IS NOVEMBER WITH December JUST TWO WEEKS AWAY!!

 

I know I made this reference before..  the joke about the bicycle with the toilet paper front wheel…. That kept running down..  and that it was life running out…   and how I laughed at the time..  I think I might have been thirty something…   Well, I am telling you at 84.. this is not funny.. No wonder we can’t remember much…  with the year on speed dial.

 

I hate December..  I hate COLD FREEZING WINTER. I hate Christmas all that goes with it.. the extra cooking, getting gifts… and all of that… and people arguing over Merry Christmas and me with my HAPPY HOLIDAY..  I just am lazy…..  you know with the spew of

HAPPY THANKSIVING..MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY NEW YEAR…   Happy Holidays is soooooooooo much easier.    Yes. I am not a fan of December..   do you remember the song by Merle Haggard?   IF WE MAKE IT THRU DECEMBER that was my theme song.. 

I don’t suppose life can make December go by, like it is on speed dial…    I am ok with learning to write 2025.. 

BAH HUMBUG..

Gosh, I hate getting old…

Gosh, I hate getting old…  

Last night I went to bed and fairly good shape.. Well, as good as I get..   But it really pisses me off to get up and something hurts that did not hurt when I went to bed.

Case in point…  I went to bed.  As I said ..in fair good shape.

I woke up in the morning, put my feet on the floor and started to take a step.. and PAIN.. in my ankle.  My right ankle.  Now remember I just told you, I went to bed in fair good shape..  So where the hell did this come from?  How do you get a sprained ankle IN BED???  So  I am limping to the bathroom, and could not see any redness..  no mark.. not that I was expecting one..but at least that would show something.   But NOTHING.. but PAIN..  So I gimped around, trying not to put weight on it..  The dog wants to go out, so I gimp to the door.   What do I see.. SNOW.. the dog is not pleased.. She makes several circle on the deck and then pees..  Looking at me as she runs for the door,  ‘you didn’t expect me to go down in the yard with all that snow, did you,’ look. 

Anyway, after putting on a sock and then my shoe.. the ankle let up and off I went to church..   But why is it.. when we get old… we go to bed… in fairly good shape, and something goes to hell in a hand basket by the time you get up.. After all, how much trouble can you get into …laying in bed.  Well, I guess enough to be upset about it. 


Oh, yea... I am heading to the insurance agency... for the King and I to get our health insurance supplement done for next year..   as you can see we are a little bit late.. Why because the King was hunting so we had to change our date for AFTER ELK SEASON....  then the second one..  well, that one is on me... I had it welded in my brain.. TUESDAY... at 2pm.  I had the sticky note on the mirror... I had it on the calendar on the wall in the hall.. They called and I said, yep.. TUESDAY at 2.. well, I guess she didn't hear me make a mistake..  because they called on MONDAY..  and said... do we need to reschedule your appt. I said "oh no, we will be there tomorrow TUESDAY at 2."... there was silence on the phone... then said  "uh"...   and I said.. tomorrow the 28th.. right.  and she said, uh.... actually it is on the 28th.. but that is TODAY. MONDAY..   my body collapse on the inside... as I looked at the sticky note that says the 28th...  Monday...   So reschedule to THE 18th.. at 9am..  They called on Friday.. I saw who was calling and I said.. this time I got it right...we WILL BE THERE MONDAY AT 9...RIGHT?   She said yes, this time you got it right...   see you MONDAY..  AND BY LOVE OF GOD.. WE WILL BE THERE..  

it is hell to get old..

Here we go folks… hang on to your hat…

Here we go folks… hang on to your hat…

You have 2 months to breathe in…  and out…  and decide how you will handle the next 4 and half years..  

Will he be the louse that we know he is?  Those who never did like him in the first place.? .

For those who ask us why not give him a chance..   Heck why didn’t they  say that about Joe?  After all you were kicking him before he even got in office..   And you had no clue what he would or could do.. And of course with Republican Congress for all 4 years..  there wasn’t a lot he could do.. Even when he tried to get Congress to pass a law with the border was concerned..  Trump …  Trump  who was not a President at the time… was not a Congressman at the time.. TOLD CONGRESS  not to pass it..  And they didn’t… What the hell?  Since when did Congress pay attention to and EX-President? Not in my memory..  But what the hell, rules and regs and common sense died..  so we sit and watch this one.. 

If there is any common sense people out there… and if come 2026 comes..  and you don’t like what he does.. then you better damn well. Over whelming… vote Democrat or Independent… If you keep voting Republican.. well, the saying comes to mind to me…  is….. the “definition to insanity is Doing the same thing over and over and expecting things to be different.”

Those of use over 60… know what the possibilities of this new group coming in…  we know what can happen, if we put too much tariffs.. on China..  who most don’t understand that they own a good share of our banks in the USA  they too will raised their tariffs.. and will raise it twice as much as USA will do… So what does that do for your cheap food, and products?  Your meds..  Because it will be at least 2 to 3 years for the USA. To  get product factories going, to make the products that American’s love and can’t do without.. Car parts, clothes, and forget about televisions and computers..  And those parts made in Mexico, same thing.. after all when he starts up with the mess at the border… guess who won’t be selling for cheap prices anymore… 

ABC did a report about 8 years ago…  about products made here and over seas.. What would happen if we could not buy overseas…  We found out thru the show that a good share of the products we use every day…  could actually be made and bought here in the good old USA  Only trouble is that those who made the products were not in mass production for the country to buy on an basis of what is needed by the whole country.. A lot of the furniture places made maybe 100 to 1000 a year.. it was a craft type thing.. not a mass production company.  Any way, the only thing they could not buy to furnish a new house with ALL USA PRODUCTS..  NO OVERSEAS products… was computers and televisions.. They were made in China, Korean, Japan and etc.  Oh, because the factories could not do a mass production right away.. the prices they ask for their products are high… After all they are paying USA wages.. not overseas…  And even with the tariff of right now.. is still cheaper than the USA. 

And that is only one area… of the new deal coming in..  

Once the Allies see that we are budding up with Putin and North Korea… well, let’s just say they were not happy about Trump last time.. especially when TRUMP ask for no one in the room with him except an translator..  and the rest of the world never did find out what he and Putin had to say to each other and any promises made my our head…

So start now, how to stay close to your family and friends.. I mean your GOOD FRIENDS… do things with them.. and hope you don’t look at the media too much to see what is going on…  and the media will hype it so bad, you won’t know what is truth or not…  So live you life with what matters to you…    It is not wearing shades… or putting your head in the sand… it is “Be aware”, just don’t make it your main thing in life..    and PRAY.. OH GOD, PRAY… that he knows what he is doing… (that is God, not trump)… and hope this 4 years goes by fast.. and pray the Democrats and Independent get there crap together in 2026..

Time for a readjustment…

Time for a readjustment…

Once again.. my memory failed me..  even with sticky notes and calendar marking…   Now going to have to go to double checking.. and not just mark dates, but days..  

I really screwed up yesterday…  We have an appt. for our health insurance that we have to do yearly..  I marked it on the calendar. Yes, in the right date on the right day….  Even had an arrow on it as we had changed the date before.. As the King was hunting.  I had the card taped to the mirror… even with a phone call..  some how…. Somehow..  I put it in my mind it was on a TUESDAY… NOPE…  it was MONDAY… didn’t register the actual number of the day.. by passed that..   So NOW it is push to NOVERBER 18. Getting close to the cut off date..  AND IT IS ON ME…

So got to come up with a better system..  there is ECHO.. so learning how to set that up…  OH PLEASE LORD, LET ME KEEP MY BRAIN..

And the race is on

And the race is on 

Here we go folks..  the last week of October..  Hello winter..as Friday is November. Once again.  How did THIS month fly by.

But starting next week the race will be on..   See on Sunday the 3rd we have the old spring forward,  FALL BACK..  so we change our clocks back for the fall..  and then two days after that  Those who haven’t gotten their ballots in the mail.. or gone down for the early voting at your county seat building…  will be the ones who make up the WHO IS THE WINNER THIS YEAR…  and will we have the same nonsense as last time.. Trump scream.. fraud.. and then the riots start because people will believe him..  Or there will be a lot of disappointed Democrats…  Every four years for the past 12 years … election day has been a bitter disappoint for a lot of people.. some accept it gracefully..  other not so much.

So next Tuesday morning when my blog hits the internet… my question will be   DID YOU VOTE…..  and if there are still some stupid people who blow it off…   I give them my hand, when they start to complain.. IF YOU DID NOT VOTE… YOU DO NOT GET BITCHING RIGHTS….  SO TALK TO THE HAND.. Because I am not listening to you..  I don’t care who you vote for…JUST VOTE.    I will repeat these words next Tuesday.. ..

Politic.. are getting stranger and stranger…

Politic.. are getting stranger and stranger…

We, here,  in the northern part of Idaho get Spokane Washington state channels.   Rare if ever we get Idaho election ads.. Don’t know why our group, doesn’t do ads on the   Wa. Station.. After all if we put up with their Wa. Ads.. they can put up with ours.. and besides the stations get the $$$$$$.. And up here there is no Idaho stations.. they are all down around Boise.. 8 hours away.

Of interest of sorts is the Washington State Governor race.  Which has ads on, I am presuming, ALL Washington state stations. 

Their present Governor is not running.   So there is two newbies.

Ferguson, I think is the name of one of them.. the other guy, his starts with an R.   

The reason why I use a name for one and an initials for the other, is I haven’t seen much of his ads.. well, can’t say it is HIS ads because the ad is about what a terrible statesman he is.  Of that he has voted for or against that it is per seems to be, what the citizen would not want.  But Ferguson, has all kinds of what a great guy he is, his friends and brother is in the ads as well.

So I wonder… surely he must be doing better by ads (the guy with the R name)…. In Seattle area.  And hopefully down by Portland Oregon side of Washington state.    So why isn’t he putting in ads of positives in Spokane?  Does he think that Spokane won’t pay attention to his ads?  Be a new guy on the block and with a Seattle background…  shouldn’t he be letting Spokane and surrounding area’s  know who he is?  What good, he thinks, he can do for them? Or is he so arrogant that he feels he doesn’t need them?   (that in is self would be enough for me to vote against him, if I lived in Spokane.)

There once was a sign in the Spokane area… a billboard. It said.

DON’T LET SEATTLE DO THE VOTING FOR YOU…or something like that.  I would ask my son’s but none of them watch the news or regular programming.

Whoa.. but is this month running pass us?

Whoa..  but is this month running pass us?

Here it is the 21st  with just 10 days left..  I am so not ready.

Oh, the mild (and yes it is even mild for us..with 55 to 72 degrees) days..  No snow, not even in the mountain area..  (Sh sh….maybe I shouldn’t have said that… bad karma…)   I am still wanting to hold on to summer.. but I do have my winter clothes out and summer put away..  the yard is ready for winter, with the exception of a few potted plants who are hanging on..   Got our winter tires on the vehicles…  In Idaho you just never know.

But still how or why are the days flying by?  We are just two months away from Christmas..   (shut your mouth Cis, )…

Life just seems to be passing us by…  15 days to election where we will see how much this world will change..  Hopefully not the hateful part of the past 4 years..

So hang on to your hats folks..  the calendar pages are flipping by.

 

While Elk season is still alive….  So are the elk…   Elk alive and well  … the King 0
