OMG!!!! I am having such a rough time with these dogs. Neither one of them will leave their incisions alone and it ended up costing me another $100.00 today to take them both back in and have stitchs put in Molly again. She had laid open a spot 3 inches wide on her tummy. Luckily the under side was healed and her guts didn't come flying out. This time they put stainless steel stitches in but she was numb when she got back and started yanking at the stitches!!!! She was pulling her skin up like 4 inches off her tummy! So now it has to come to this. They are both ticked at me.

This is probably what they want to do to me.

An amazing thing happened the other day. Nothing brought it on. I was pretty sure that it was a sign of some major rift in the Matrix. I walked into the kitchen and although she never turned around she said..."If you insist on taking pictures of me, I'll quit." I put the camera away. I didn't want to risk it.

My work day went fast and I got two new rentals at the South location. I think a 10 x 30 is in the works North but they haven't called me back yet. They will probably the moment I kick my shoes off and decide to take it easy for the rest of the day. It never fails. :)

Busy. One word to decribe my life right now and that's busy.

The dogs have gone to the Vet. Molly was pretty routine. Spayed and had her nail clipped because at 7 bucks, I'd paid twice that to not hog tie and wrestler her to get it done. :) Baby was spayed too and had her nails clipped. However, she had mammary gland cancer. It had not spread to her groin lymph nodes yet, which is apparently the first place it goes after the MG's so they did a masectomy on her. The 4 on the right side as well as spaying. She is cut open all down her entire middle from like her "arm pit" front to back. I must admit that I almost feel guilty putting her through this but she will heal and feel better in a few days. She is on antibiotics and pain meds to make her more comfortable. AND most importantly, she she has been spayed and the estrogen will no longer feed the cancer in the glands, she may very well stay cancer free. She had to stay an extra day and seems to be fairing better today than Molly was yesterday. She was still very groggy and had to be helped alot. Today she ran outside when I asked if she wanted out. She is however, being respectful of her "sister" and not playing around and letting her rest.
Here they are right now, laying on Elise's bed where I normally DO NOT let them lay. But I think they are scared right now and feel vulnerable because they are in pain. I am bending the rules and letting them lay in her bed for today. :)

I saw this the other day with I was "Stumbling" the web and thought it was hilarous because this is exactly right for me. I use my cell phone to tell the time more than anything else.

The texting and phone calls might be backwards but the checking the time is right on.
I was sent in an email the following picture of some service men. The exact information is written below the picture it's self. I have it in its original size if you want a copy just email me and ask. wb9zhc@verizon.net

When I was growing up, my Mom, who was a very big woman, would sometimes get up and her entire moo moo would be up her butt crack or a towel or something she might have been sitting on. She would walk around like that and not even notice that it was there until you pointed it out, which just seemed to piss her off so you learned to just let her have a tail and be quiet. However, how can this guy possibly NOT know there is a Mountain Dew bottle up his butt? This has got to be staged but the angle would suggest a sneak phone pic. You never know, he might have put it there on purpose for safe keeping.

And my last thought of the day.... The tune is just so catchy. NO ONE can resist singing along.

Time Keeps on Slippin'.......

It's been a while since I updated the blog. So it's going to be pretty full and random at best. I have included many pictures, now that I remembered to get the card out of the pc :) Enjoy.

1. Elise has joined a dance class.
She is taking both a jazz and ballet class. She says she likes the ballet better but I think that's because the jazz class is faster and she will just need to get used to it not to feel out of sync with everyone else.

2. India did well in school again, except for math. (working on it though)
She got all A's except at mid term she was at a D in algebra. I am hoping for a miracle and she is able to bring that up. Her grade point average will appreciate it. Once again, she has found my camera. I really need to get this kid her own camera that doesn't "suck".

3. Ryves Hall has become the new W9IRC project. We have been busying our selves moving things around and getting ready to operate. There was a station there but it hadn't been manned much. Jim Edwards did what he could but being the director of the place, I can't imagine he had much time to spend there.

4. Oh yeah I never told you about W9IRC
I'll just let you check out the link. :)
5. The dogs are going in to be spayed. Baby (the black and white Spaniel) has some tumors or growths. One is huge and the other one is much smaller. They are under her nipples. I am afraid that she might have cancer. I hope that when they go in to spay her that things don't turn ugly. But I have talked to the girls about it because I want to make sure they are prepared, just in case.

6. I am having a room redone in my home that was ruined by leaks. I will have to rip out the ceiling and I'm going to take out the wall there and remove the window all together. The window just looks over to the side of the neighbors house and really doesn't let that much light in anyway. I will be taking down all the paneling and replacing the dry wall. The ceiling will just be plain drywall and a whole new light fixture. My ex Mike is going to help me like he has with all other projects I've done over the years to this house and I figure its going to cost me about 1,500 bucks. Oh well. It has to be done.

I'll upload pictures of before and after's once I get this started.
7. Dan got a new toy.

8. I am feeling a whole lot better and may be over "them" for a while.
9. My friend Jim McFall passed away but I didn't want to expose myself to possibly stirring up stuff with people who may attend his visitation so I didn't go. :(

Oh I remembered one more thing. I got myself a gift. Its a Virborplex Iambic set of paddles. I love morse code and that's what I use 99.9% of the time when I'm on the Amateur Radio Bands.
