Oh, God! Why are you reading this?

I saw this on TV........
We've all done things that we are ashamed that we did. But you have to admit that getting a court order banning you from any Walmart on the planet is a pretty low point. Getting banned from Tiffany's has a certain flair, but Walmart???? Can you imagine the shame of seeing your mug shot, not from the county jail, but on the Walmart Banned List????
And after getting banned from Walmart, what's next? OMG!!! Hitting the bottom of the barrel!!! Getting thrown out of a Dollar store.
Shoplifter banned from every Walmart store arrested for trespass

I always thought this was the goofiest thing! In order to permanently ban someone from an establishment, doesn't it need to be a place that checks ID? I mean telling someone they can never go into any WalMart again? Who's gonna check ID at the door? Never understood the purpose.
 

It's 9 AM, and I have a doctor's appt. @ 2. This is my 4th scheduled appt. But due to well pump failure, intense cold, back pain, dead car battery, and icy roads I haven't been able to go. Maybe I might make this appt. It's too soon to make wild predictions.
It's 18 F degrees (-8) outside, and really windy. At times it gets chilly in here, between when the furnace kicks in. I have one of those fancy thermostats where you can fiddle with the program, but you have to go to M.I.T., get a dual doctorate in electrical/computer science, in order not to screw it up.
I think that's the problem with the 2020s. We have the technical ability to make super complicated products, but we don't have the skills to use them.
That was @ 9, this morning........
It's now 11:58 AM. I got a called from the doctor's office. The parking lot and ramp/ entrance area are still covered with thick layers of ice, which haven't been removed as yet. Yup, my estimated appointment is now Monday @ 2:45, or The Second Coming, whichever occurs first.

I know I shouldn't write this- it's bad, bad karma. But I haven't had any mice this year. Usually, in October, I get some homesteaders under my kitchen sink. I do have several traps with my famous peanut butter bait they love. They can munch on the bait and not set off the trap, then I pretty much wind up feeding the sneaky, little........
When I had the three cats, we were all in the living room watching TV when a mouse slowly walked down the middle of the room, and my cats just SAT there and watched him. No more top shelf cat food around here.
Every morning I'm on mouse patrol, checking the traps.

I don't know why but everybody wants me to do something. I have to make an appt. for a car recall of my rear camera. I have to do my taxes. I got a renewed credit card with a new expiration date, so now I have change all my saved credit card stuff. Another credit card is getting renewed, and I have to choose the color, and pics I want on it. Within 96 hours, I have to bring my email up to "basic 8.1" whatever the hell that is. I have to get the care inspected. Plus, I have friends that post, at least, 20 times a day on Facebook, with things like how much a Sherpa guide makes in Nepal, and Jezzergian Zyveronostobud wants to be my friend.
Yeah, that's life and you have to suck it up. But nobody says you gotta like it.
 
It's 10 AM. Theoretically, I have an appt. with my Doc. @ 2:45. This is either the 5th or 6th scheduled time for this appt. Odds are 50/50 as to whether I'll get to see my MD. I'm expecting something like a meteorite crashing into my car, etc.
And, again, I have a great sense of timing. There's a 2 inch layer of ice all over the area, so every store is out of rock salt. I found a place with salt, I bought two 15 lb. bags. Of course, the temps will be well above freezing for the next week.
 
I actually made it to my MD's office, and he was there. My next appt. is May 5th. That got me. I just got though below 0 freezing, snow and ice, then it's May!!!
I figured why pay for online filing of my taxes when I could do it for free, the old fashion way-with paper and pen.
At, the library, I got a booklet of instructions- it's even the Senior version.
It's 114 pages long, and has things like:
"Use line13z to report the credit under section 960(c) with respect to an excess limitation account."
The booklet gives in great detail everything you ever wanted to know about what to put on line #1. The thing is there are 38 lines.
Yeah, I'm paying to do it online.
 
The previous week was hectic, shoveling snow of my car, chopping ice on my deck and chiseling off my car, getting groceries, and appointments wiped me out. My back was hurting, and the only way to get better is to completely rest. Yesterday I did nothing.

What irritated me was there was nothing half way good on TV. There's the show about people living in tiny homes. They get their dream 'tiny home', but statistically most dump the tiny home thing in a few years. Then there's the crime channels where somebody is always buried in the backyard. Then there's the wild life channel's 8 part show about the Helvetian cuckoo. Or it's another Hitler bio. And with all the "Gunsmoke" reruns on most channels, you can watch Matt age.
I figured out why I detest that OB/GYN doctor and her deodorant goop. If you have cable, her ads are constantly on. To me, the ads are an excuse for her to get on TV.
See, my back aches and I'm grumpy.
 
I watched a high school basketball game, last night. I had forgotten how adult senior grade students were- they had beards and mustaches. The other thing that impressed me was how much they hugged each other, and touched each other. I grew up in the 50s & 60s. Yeah, you could hug another guy if you won the Superbowl, but for the maximum of 5 seconds. You just did not show "unmanly" affection to another guy. NO NO NONO!!
Today, when players came off the court, teammates hugged them. And when they gathered around the coach, they were arm in arm. That never would have happened when I was a kid. I remember in gym class when guys were doing sit ups, teammates had to hold down the ankles of the sitting uppers. And that felt weird. Today's kids are a lot freer of hangups than I am. That's good.

OMG. We turn ahead the clocks next Sunday, and meteorological spring starts tomorrow. And it doesn't look like there's much snow coming. YEAH!!! We can kick Ol' Man Winter outta here. By the way who was the lying no good *@#%$&, who said retirement was restful. With the snow gone, there's a million things I got to do with my house. I have over a hundred pine trees, and they shed limbs as the grow taller. My lot is littered with them. And I know something is going to break down. I've lived here 35 years, and the only things that were in my home when I moved in is my clothes dryer and the kitchen sink- everything else has been replaced.
What's bad about no more snow is I don't have a good excuse for not doing stuff.
 
Last year, we got hit with a snow storm that dumped 8 inches, and while my neighbor clears my driveway, I have to shovel the deck and dig out my car. I thought, "Idiot, you have a snow blower in the shed!!!!" The problem is the shed is 40-50 feet away, and there's always a huge snow drift in front of it. By the time I'd shovel my way to the shed, I could have dug my car out. So, I decided to park my snowblower next to my house under a tarp. I probably used the snowblower for about 15 seconds all winter!!!
I'm sure if I left it in the shed, I'd get 20 inches of snow. SO.....
I'm thinking if I hauled my riding lawn mower out of the shed and kept it under a tarp near my house, maybe the grass would grow?
 
I don't know what I did, but I'm getting flooded with ads for commercial grade kitchen grills. :unsure: Also I got another scam email about upgrading my email providers program. I fell for this once. But when you think about it why should I have to update my internet provider's email program. It's like updating Yahoo's email program. Dumb, but I fell for it once.

Today was Eddy haircut day. I was on my way to Eddy's, listening to my tunes. As I'm turning on Rte 33 to Allentown, it dawned me that I'm on my way to work in Allentown, but I've been disabled for the last 20 years- I haven't worked in 20 years. I had to turn around and drive all the way back to Eddy's. I have no idea how I switched from going to Eddy's, to winding up driving to work.

There are times when it's justifiable to strangle people. I had a yearly bill that I paid with my bank's bill payer program. Well, the company changed it's address for a new one, and I didn't catch that. I tried to use the company's credit card pay program. But I DO have an account, but I've been a customer way before they went digital, so I never had a password, nor user name.
So I can't open a new account, because I have one, and I can't get into it, because I don't have a valid username, etc. The company's "forgot password" doesn't work. So to pay the bill I go back to my bank, where you can change everything about the payee but the damn address. So I had to delete the payee and, of course enter all that stuff again with the new address,

It's all good aboveground, Fuzz
 
Today, there was a thread about libraries. And that got me thinking about my library. It's a two story modern building, with an elevator. The elevator has two floors, but there are 13 buttons on the elevator panel???????
And they have "the guy". He's a geezer with a long beard. He just sits around the library. He's always there. He doesn't bother anyone and seems nice. He'll nod when you say 'hi'. One day he wasn't there and I asked if he called in sick.
It's a hassle to get and bring back books, but it gets me out of the house.
 
I woke up this morning and Harold, the turkey, was walking around outside. I thought that we have very odd lives. When I was 12, I never would have predicted I'd be almost 80 and have a turkey living in the back yard. I spent 4 years in the U.S. Navy, and never step foot on a ship. I went to four colleges. I spent two years living in the warm Caribbean, but missed New England winters. More of my neighbors knew my cat, Mike, than they knew me. I was the first one in my neighborhood to buy a Yugo car, and also the last. The well guy, who replaced my pump said he never saw water with as much Iron as in my well. It figures.
 
Last night, it was really windy. The rope on my flag pole snapped, and my phone, internet & cable went out. I'm a fairly intelligent guy. And no, I've never seen Big Foot running around, nor have I been abducted by space aliens, at not least lately. So, why can't I remember that the cable, etc. is out? My tablet won't work. Then I know-I'll use my desk computer :unsure: :unsure::unsure:. Well, then I'll just watch TV.:unsure::unsure::unsure: Well, then I 'll check my email on my phone.:unsure::unsure::unsure:
Aw damn, now the tablet won't work.:unsure::unsure::unsure:
Maybe, I'll just watch TV then...........

It'll cost me around $70 to do my income taxes and file them, using those online filing companies.. I used to do my own taxes and mail 'em off and got my refund checks. Why should I pay that kind of money to fill out an online form, I could do myself. I got a tax booklet and forms. I was all set to get to work. I wanted to make a copy of the form as a "work' copy. I think the last time I used my printer Clinton was President. I had to get new ink cartridges. So, to save myself the cost of filing with an internet corp. @ $70, I can do it with copies that cost me $70 in cartridges.
When I die, somebody's got a "lot of 'splaining to do".

There's always something. Went grocery shopping last night. When I opened my car's trunk, there's a nice layer of 30 lbs. of rock salt. The cartons must have gotten banged around, and broke open.
At the grocery store, there were two cashiers at the non-automated check out. I always use those, because I tend to beat up the automated ones. The clerks looked like they were only 14 or 15. I look like somebody, who's been around since God was a kid, and the young keep looking younger. :(
And there's just way too many cooking shows on TV. All you need to know is
1 get stuff
2 mix it up
3 apply heat.
