At a crossroads
I am P.O.ed!!!! Big time!! May 27, 2008 6:32 pm

Ok .... I'm mad!!!! I live in a condo with a small back yard I can call my own - separated from my neighbor by a redwood privacy fence. Beneath that fence is about a foot of space where a small neighbor's pooch has made a side of my yard his personal potty - at the owner's seeming behest!

Last year, this same little pooch regularly peeded on my hastes and killed three plants. I said nothing. I feared being an ugly neighbor and held back. I dug us the tainted hastes and earlier this spring, I seeded new grass to fill the vacant spots.

Today, I arrived home from work and walked my small back yard space to check my newly seeded grass and found a pile of pooch poop!!!! If the pooch pooped there, chances are he also peed on my newly sewn grass!!

I am at a point where I am no longer concerned with being a good neighbor!!! I devised a note to the occupants of my neighboring condo with a copy to our association president informing both of my upset over this invasion.

I read, sometime ago, that 'fences make good neighbors.' Who was that? Robert Frost? Carl Sandburg? Can't recall and don't want to take time to verify as I am hyped at the moment. All I know is that it's a bunch of hooey!!

I am about to create an enemy through absolutely no fault of my own!!!! Gurrrrrrrrrrrrr. It's going to be an issue. I just know it!! And it upsets me ...... but, I try to do the best I can with maintaining my property!! Why should I let this go??

Bush, Jr. is carrying out what his father stated would be a New World Order. We are being reduced to the lowest common denominator!

Is there are doctor in the house?? May 25, 2008 6:41 am

I've been experiencing eye problems recently and the occurrences are becoming more frequent. Typical of me, I keep putting off seeing a doctor. There are two funny things happening. Can anyone relate to this?

A light spot will appear, like a spattering that starts small and grows, and my vision will temporarily become obstructed. At first, that obstruction was rather transient. Now the obstruction lasts longer, like fifteen minutes or so.

Secondly, and not at the same time the above seems to happen, I will note brown spots in my vision. They will move with my eyeball when I shift my eyeball from side to side.

Yes, I know. You are going to say, "See a doctor." I will, I promise. I just want to know if anyone has a clue as to what might be causing this. It's scaring me.

Have I been SCAMMED??? May 25, 2008 6:22 am

Three weeks ago, maybe even four, there was a knock on my condominium door by a rather nice looking younger man in bluejeans and workshirt with a logo of some sort on the pocket of the shirt. He said he was here to repair/replace screens on the windows of the condo units that were damaged in last summer's hail storm. I didn't even question the authenticity of his mission, even though I had not been informed by anyone from my condo association to expect such person. Fact is, I never noticed any damage done to my screens.

The man popped the screens off the windows on one entire side of my unit. I did not give it another thought. When weeks went by and the weather began to warm, I thought to open the windows to get some fresh air flowing through. Lo and behold, still no screens. I inquired of my neighbors about missing screens. I walked the entire complex and did not observe anyone else's screens missing from their windows.

Uh oh!! Has somebody has cleverly made off with my window screens????

Has anyone else out there ever been scammed??

Cleaning House???? May 23, 2008 5:16 am

When I tried to log in earlier this morning, I could not access blogs or chat. There was a posting from SFF that they were doing some work with hardware. It was odd that when I finally could log in there was no listing of blogs on the front page. I'm hoping it means SFF is dealing with some obnoxious blog cloggers! Silly me? Only wishful thinking? Guess we'll see.

CHANGE has been stressful!! May 22, 2008 6:21 am

The first week on my new job has really stressed me out! There is sooooooo much to remember. My formal training does not even begin until the day after Memorial Day, and then I have to drive an hour each day to and from the training site. The good news is, I THINK, I started Monday as an assistant to the resource coordinator at our local Job Center at $7.50 an hour. By the end of the day, I was approached to consider the resource coordinator's job as a county part time, limited term employee at $11.35 an hour!! The current RC will split herself between two counties, so I will serve in her spot in her absence. The term is for one year. THAT is the formal training I will start on Tuesday. Up to now, the RC has been my trainer, one on one.

Hey, gang. This gal is 68 years old and beginning an entirely new career!! I am realizing how stressful change can be the older one gets!! Wish me luck. I'm tired already!!

Try this! Instead of using bread crumbs, add the herbed stuffing mix, a shake or two of steak sauce and a few dashes of seasoning salt. YUMMY.
