Happy Trick Or Treat

For your Halloween Pleasure

Monster Mash Lyrics

I was working in the lab late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my monster from his slab began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise

He did the mash
He did the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
He did the mash
It caught on in a flash
He did the mash
He did the monster mash

From my laboratory in the castle east
To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
To get a jolt from my electrodes

They did the mash
They did the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
They did the mash
It caught on in a flash
They did the mash
They did the monster mash

The zombies were having fun
The party had just begun
The guests included Wolf Man
Dracula and his son

The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds
Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
With their vocal group, "The Crypt-Kicker Five"

They played the mash
They played the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
They played the mash
It caught on in a flash
They played the mash
They played the monster mash

Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
He opened the lid and shook his fist
And said, "Whatever happened to my Transylvania twist?"

It's now the mash
It's now the monster mash
The monster mash
And it's a graveyard smash
It's now the mash
It's caught on in a flash
It's now the mash
It's now the monster mash

Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
And my monster mash is the hit of the land
For you, the living, this mash was meant too
When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you

Then you can mash
Then you can monster mash
The monster mash
And do my graveyard smash
Then you can mash
You'll catch on in a flash
Then you can mash
Then you can monster mash

Which President Won't Be Getting My Vote In 08

A lot of been going around the blogs about the election coming up and I real don’t think my little opinion is going to shape the world of politics
But I’m going to tell who every reading this blog why I won’t be casting my ballot for McInsane

As I’ve blog about my self once again reopening a ceramic shop.
My plan was to work until Bart graduate from high school which will be the end of May and then I thought of could possible quite my job.
Statement time…I do homecare and I real don’t care for this type of work. I like my client and she been a good friend to me and I’m paid well
Since Dubya our current president and the right wing branch of both houses real haven’t benefit us.
1.Our wages haven’t real kept up with cost of living.
2. Both of Murphy and my IRA is back down to the original investment.
3.With the current housing mess this could effect Murphy employment when the building business slow down it has an effect on the line of work Murphy does.
4.I don’t believe we should of every went in to Iraq in the first place.
5. The current Tax breaks only benefit the extreme wealthy of this county, trickle down economic doesn’t work.
6.Our world is more polluted then every before.
7. No school left behind is a joke it should read “No child with out a dime”
8. Our entire relationship in world is a mess.
9. Deregulations there hardly any look at the mess it left. I just mention three now we took people who made sure our imports was safe and look at what came in our county lead base toy and unsafe food.
Cut back on inspectors to check our food supplies.
Now let the free market run it self. Our Rx and gas companies our making record profit and running Joe Scumuh in the poor house.
10. Most American can be wipe out and total ruin financial after any medical or accident in America

I feel that Dubya did to much damage to this country and I can’t see anther four years of right wing policy with trickle down economics.
Opinion Time…If every person who walked on this earth always played fair an had empathy for all we wouldn’t need deregulations.
But I feel more then 90% of the population has a good heart but those less then 10% don’t and they can real do evil.

Confession time…I’m not sure yet how I’ll be voting “Representive in congress” for dist in Idaho.
There only two candidates on the ballot. I feel like I only have choice of a Nut Case or a Dumb Dumb. There will be only 0ne-tenth of percent of change I’ll go with the Nut Case. I would take out a loan to make bet that I’ll cast my vote for our Nut Case.
So I’m not sure if I’m going to go with Minnick, do write in, or leave it blank.
Clich here for Walt or Click here for Bill

Only one day left to give your opinion on the poll on my side bar

ABC Wednesday O is for...

It Wednesday and it time for ABC Wednesday

O is for….

Oyster Sandwich

I really like oysters. Every so often my mom would make pan-fried oysters dipped in egg batter and rolled in breadcrumbs.
My father in law tried to shock me about oyster stew so he could see my reactions. See on Christmas Eve they would serve oyster stew that evening. “Oyster nothing for me”
I like Oyster Rockfellow and add little hot sauce to it.
One day I was eating down at Muggy’s for dinner and ordered an oyster sandwich it was so good that’s what we had for dinner, with coleslaw last night.
Grandpa Clearance (my dads dad) lived with us when I was young
He liked to eat raw oyster and buttermilk. Confession time…When I was younger I didn’t like buttermilk and my friend Donna likes buttermilk and so I tried it and still taste the same from when I was younger.
Now for raw oyster I just haven’t been brave enough to try them

There only a short time to give your opinion on my survey about the economy over on my side bar.

Heads or Tail (Scary Story)

I haven’t done Heads or tails for a while and this week theme is “scary story” real or not. To me it just sound like plain fun

There was this old white house that always had a fresh coat of white paint with beautiful yard.
Yet it has been rumor it been haunted for years.
Although no stories been every told why it was haunted the closes cemetery was over 5 miles from the place.

So one day a couple of grade school kids around 4th or 5th grade was selling raffle tickets for fund raiser for their local school.
As being young and thinking their life is mortal. They went under a climbing rose bush it still had green leaf and wooden walkway leading up to the front door.
It had a knocker on the door although the two kids where to short to reach the knocker so they made a fist and hit the door and in moment or so a lady in blue apron open the door.
The two said they where from Township school and they were selling raffle tickets to help the school to get some different supplies for they’re after school programs.
So what seem to be a nice lady or least she had a pleasant smile and invited them in for some punch and cookies.

Both sat at her round table that was in corner of her kitchen and she went to the fridge and got out her pink punch poured both of them a glasses.
Plus she put two cookies on a small plate and gave each of the boys the punch and the cookies.
She then step around the corner and bought 5 dollars of raffle tickets from both of the boys

This all sound what most sweet people will do. But there was something in that punch not sure what it is but some says it takes your spirit out of you and swap it from one of the local dead people buried up at cemetery and the scary part is that you don’t die you get some spirit never knowing who or what spirit you may get.

So my question where is she getting her spirits to swap around. Spirits has gone to the other side

This is made up story nothing is true about it. My blog is complete honest and straight forth

Oh No Oh Yes

I don’t know what it is but recently I been some what like a blond or like my friend Callie would say like you have a brain fart, that’s me at this time.

Yesterday I went to the store to get some food and now I can’t fine my wallet.
The other day I order some bras and they are to big for me and I need to send them back.
Ok for some reason I can only find three of them and got find the fourth one.

I know it doesn’t seem like a lot to loose but it driving me insane

I’ve been thinking of joining T.O.P.S “taking off pounds sensibly” but once I talk to a member about the scoop on it.
It $26 a year and .50 for each.
I need some support to loose weight

Announcement time…I found my bra somehow it fell behind my dresser

With the Greatest Of Ease

I can’t recall the exact date I start to go down hill. I mean when did I real let my body get out of shape.
I real can’t say I was always good to my body.
I’m over weight by a least 50 pounds and it wouldn’t even hurt me to loose 65 pounds.
At this time my foot hurt it actual my left foot the inside of my arch and toward the back of my arch.
It seems like everyday I have some type of muscle, joint or bone pain.
The real main cause of my pain is I’m overweight.
And I know if I move more and eat better I wouldn’t be so fat. And do I do it maybe for a short time but not really.

Well part of the reason I start to think again on this subject my son came up for a short visit from Postfall Idaho.
He and his dad Murphy clean up the mud bogger that been in our yard.
Well Sawyer brought this dump trailer and loaded up the mud bogger.
Sawyer just leaped up and over the sides of the dump trailer with grace and easy. At one time not saying how long ago, only I say a very long time ago I could move like that.
So I felt how embarrass and foolish I feel letting my body go.

It took some good ole fashion Yankee know how to get that old mud bogger in the back of the dump trailer.
It and Toyota pick up with a ford engine 400 cubic inches. So we jacked, shoved, pushed, and pull.
And even used a big ole tree to push up against it to finish loading it.
It loaded and gone

Sawyer hauled up a different motor for Bart Toyota pick up. So today he and his brother took out the old motor and now the motor that Sawyer brought up is on and engine hoist.
It got to be relined so it can be drop in.

We finely got a new slider for our dinner room. The other one the glass was fogged over couldn’t real see out of it.
The seal was broke so it leaked like a sieve.
Then the frame of the window that was hooked to the house had a half-inch of daylight showing though.
So now we have a new slider in. With help of Heinz.

When Sawyer came up he brought Max up Sam dog. Well their something wrong with the dog.
He is two years male and doesn’t lift his leg like a male dog should. He acts lot like a puppy.
I have to say Daisy was sure put out by him mostly when he curled up beside her mommy.
Daisy thinks I’m her mommy so I bet Daisy was glad to see Max leave

Edit note...Sawyer and his cousin Sam bought a dump trailer together

In the Know (holiday Improvement)

The 25th of the month has arrived and that means it time for in the know and this month question is Which holiday don’t you like and how would you change it
If you want to do this please posted on your blog and a link back to this post.
So I can come back and read it.
Please also pass the word about in the know

The holiday I real don’t care for is Memorial Day. I understand this holiday is for our veterans that served our and different countries who died for a belief.
But we have veteran day in November which here it little on cooler side. I don’t have any trouble with a having a day to give to all of our veterans.

It seem like around here we go up to cemeteries and place flowers on our family members who pass on.
I can’t speak for others but I run up to Grandview on place cheap plastic flowers on my mom and dad grave.
Then also I do the same for Murphy parents.
Although I’ll walk around and visit graves, family members and friends that has been laid to rest.
To me this seems very cheap, cold, and impersonal.
Everyone has a great story about them.

To honor those who have passed over I think we should make a day to learn and celebrate those who have passed.
Instead of flowers unless that was part of their life when they were a live.
Go up to the cemeteries and place a stand of something about them if they love to cook place some cookbooks, if their into track place some running shoes, if there into music play some of their favor music, or what every they were into let it be known.
Share a little bit about this person who has passed on.
Even the spirit has something great to offer if we let them.
Plus I think it would be a grand place to have a potluck up in the cemeteries to bring a dish of one of your deceased family or friend to share it with others.

I know some religions and culture celebrates the spirit life by the means of a holiday called Samhain or Halloween
which some people may say this would be a great time to do this and others wouldn’t.
Statement time… The weather here is not what I would call reliable around the end of October
So a different part of the year would be better in our area.
Personal statement…I wouldn’t have any trouble going up on Halloween building a bond fire but in reality it cold and wet then
Actual between first day of Autumn until mid October would be just fine in my neck of the woods.
Nothing wrong with weather around mid May and until mid June

Next two months I’m not doing in the know because of the two holidays Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Instead I’ll be doing a question type of meme that I’ll be calling “Eight Question and growing” more to come later

ABC Wednesday N is for...

It Friday so it time for me to play ABC Wednesday

N is for….

North
This is one of the road I take Rex for a walk it called Ballpark road and it out in dist 2. This is the north end of the road and your looking north.

It Hasn't Change One Bit.

This morning Murphy decided that he was going up on our property on the north bench to burn.
Well he is one is some what like “chicken little” instead of saying the sky is falling he says “the big ones coming”
So he bought some Spam it was on sale.

Well as he was making his sandwich with spam. He recalls that his Grandpa John and Grandma Elizabeth and this guy who was their neighbor one time they went up to Cooks Lake when he was 12 or so.
He called they brought spam sandwiches and smell of hot coffee.

I’m not a spam fan what so ever. But I decided to take a small taste of it. I know sometime your taste buds do change.
I never cared for hominy when I was young but now I like it.
But after taking the taste for spam, it still yuck. Statement time…I can say “yuck” on my blog when I was younger I wasn’t aloud to use the term “yuck” in my parents home. Mostly at the table!!!!
When my dad was working for the railroad every so often he would bring stuff off the freight train and this would make my mom happy so she could save money or the other side of the coin. She wouldn’t have to spend any money.
Well one of the items he brought home was spam that was part of the food communities.
My parents wouldn’t qualify for any of safety net programs such as reduce lunches for school, welfare, Medicaid or etc.
Yes, one the item he brought home was like a box of spam. I don’t recall the size of box but it was yucky then and it still yucky.
Even I recall my mom frying it with eggs.
Ok I’m don’t even care for baloney.

Blah Blah Blah....

It one of those evening and I’m not sure what I real want or need to blog about. To be quite honest I could blog about.
They’re this money that got stolen which I don’t feel like blogging about.
I don’t feel like doing politics or anything spiritual. Last Wednesday I went to something different then most things around here.
Closes thing to the Gardenia center in Sandpoint. Still my brain can’t write about that.
At work I made Corn Bread I guess that homesteading and it was lip-smacking good.
In family and family history the only resent news that my Uncle Glen passed away this morning he was 91 years old and would have been 92 the sixth of November. I’ll post more later this week.
I just finish reading a Dr. Phill book Life Doing What Works and What Matters a very good book it had some good point for self improvements.
I seem I can’t get the step taken for me to get going on the ceramics. I’m planning on getting the Work Book But I don’t know when.
I’ve been making better choice when it comes to my health. But nothing real to toot my horn about

I was meaning to post this reminder but some how my brain had some farts in it.
Well on the 25th of this month is the day I do In the know and the question is Which Holiday don’t you like and how would you change it
I still have my survey on my side bar

Ten - Two

My hubby and I are betting how many state McInsane and Rock will take.
Murphy says McInsane will take two, which is Utah and Alaska.
I give McInsane 10 states that are Idaho, Utah, Arizona, North Dakota, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Florida, and Alaska.
So Rock will win.
But know money been wagered yet

I had to go and pick up one my prescription in Safeway plus they had a few things on sale.
I’m one who is fan of eggnog and they are the first to get it in so I picked it up.

It was a nice day today. Yesterday I ask Murphy what he wanted to do go to the Gardenia Center for their Sunday Service or go up on Katka to visit our friends.
He said he wanted to visit Earl and Quenelle.
But during the night he got super cold and didn’t feel well so we stayed home.
I did a little bit of stuff in royal sunshine flowerbed.
Dug up my three yellow dahlias.
I got some plants given to me and one was a lilly bulb so I planted that in our hodgepodge bed

Photo Hunt (family)

Well it Saturday and it simple means it time for me to do Photo Hunt and this week theme is Family and next week theme is “Scary”

I decided to take the oldest picture out of our trunk and this is my Great Great Grandfather Gilman Witherell.
He was born before the civil war in the state of New Hampshire in year of 1809 and died in year of 1878 in Michigan.
I don’t know what kind of life Gilman lived, or how he felt.
I only can offer dates and few odd things I learn about him. His first wife was name Mary Ann Simpson and she died before him with asthma.
He re later married a woman who last name start with the letter “P” and I know him and Mary Ann Raised 5 children.
His occupation was a Cooper (barrel) maker plus I know he did some farming in Michigan

Those Demon Are Driving Me Nut In #12

We’re having some one else staying with us now in bit I’ll give her a stage name later. But I want to talk about my client and friend Donna.
The other day I mention she is terrible over weight and I’m betting she is 400 pounds.
And I posted how she keeps everything and lives a life of organized clutter which I organize

Well today I sat down and talk to her about that she thought she had demons and needed to get rid of them.
She heavy duty in to the Christen faith and please I’m not deny anyone of any type of spiritual path of their choosing.
Any how she believe that all other faith our part of Satan.

Well back to the Demon that is attach to her. I ask her how long these Demon been attach to her.
And she said since she got divorce and her mom died it been 30 years or more.
Then I asked why she wasn’t done anything about these demons.
Well she told me that God just talk to me and showed me.
It seems to me that she real doesn’t want anything to do to get rid of them.
Well I don’t have trouble with evil spirits hooking on to me and I’m not saying they don’t try or hook on to me.
But I get rid of them very quickly and last time I had something of that energy attach to me was when I came of Barton.
I told the evil energy to take a hike and your messing around with the wrong girl.

I don’t understand why someone want to keep those evil spirits in them.
So I suggested that she gets some one in Christen Faith to do a deliverance of her demon that is attach to her.
I know I wouldn’t be sitting around let them build on me or feed on me.
Statement time..It driving me nuts

I'm A Air Head and I lost My Air in My Head.

I can't blame it from the air going out of my head but I haven't paid any of our bills and I lost my internet connection.
I forgot to write our last deposit in what we put in bank.
Will catch you all up soon.

Friendly Visit With My Son Sawyer.

Yesterday we down to see our son Sawyer who been staying with his cousin Sam and his wife Amy.
It helps all way around.
Sawyer is going to collage down at North Idaho College.
Sam has a hauling business and a honey does type and Sawyer helps with it.
But I have to say our Nephew is so right wing in his politics. He believes in the trickle down theory and all the muslin's our out to kill us.
Personal insight…Most extreme rich people I know will try to get buy for cheap as they legal or won’t get caught at
I worked for a home care company and every year med caid would give them a raise in cost of doing business and do you think they pass it on to any of us. “Hell no they didn’t”.
But now I work with one and they give us yearly raises and twice a year bonuses.
Plus I think my nephew has different ideal about a Jewish state and what I do. He is one who basically thinks the Jews are gods chosen people.
statement time…I real need to learn more about why Jews are god chosen people, see I’m lacking enough knowledge of different sources to form a personal opinion on it
I think we all god/dess children and we all are individual children that our loved.
But I also believe no religion of any sort such be able to sit up there own state or country. It cause to many problem in the government. I’m not saying people of that area don’t have the right to worship.
But other then Sam political ideals we real a sweet guy and very kind hearted.
Plus Sawyer and his dad went shoe shopping. Murphy and I both have wide shoes so they end up heading over to Spokane to get a pair at Rizzutoes
All and all we had a nice visit.
Plus they been good to Sawyer and I aspirate that and how it good for my son to see and hear other point of view so we can be more inform.

A PG 13 Girl Here.

Your Life is Rated PG-13

Your life isn't totally scandalous, but you definitely don't shy away from adult themes!

What is Your Life Rated?

Photo Hunt (Lazy)

Every Saturday there this meme called Photo Hunt and each and every Saturday we are given a theme and this week one is Lazy next week theme is “family”

When I go for my walk sometime the different spirit talk to me and I only listen to good ones.
Well they gave me the ideal for this one but it may not be as I would see it.

This week theme is lazy. Well my mom pretty well thought people who sat around reading books was being lazy not being productive.
Fact time…I never saw my mom sat down to read a book When she was a child her mom would sit and read “western romance books” and she claim place could be falling down and she would be reading her dam book.
My father and I both like to read but we knew better then to sit all day reading a book Or my mom would be up set.
Even my Aunt Eve made comments about reading and being non productive. I guess my Uncle Melvin and Aunt Bea reads quite a bit. To the best of my understanding they read more then one book a week.
You see my Uncle Melvin has some plugged arteries and my Aunt Bea claims to sitting too much and not moving.
Opinion time…I have to agree with my Aunt Bea on the plugged arteries. I try to keep my reading in check

I had Murphy take this picture of me reading or being lazy you can decided

I would like to help some one but I don’t know how to go about it. Let me give you a brief run down on this.
My client/friend Donna who is real over weight even mobility obese.
She knows quite a bit about health and understands the risk and heath harm of her obesity.
But one thing I notice she a hoarder in lot of things in her life.
Saving and filling information that I real don’t think she will every get to it or use.
I think there some reason she wants to hoard her fat.
Are they any I can pursed her to not be such a hoarder Opinion time and honest time…I believe if she gets pass the deep reason that she a hoarder in her life that she would be come comfortable in loosing weight.
I say this saying Wisdom doesn’t have monopoly on it but also I think knowledge doesn’t have an monopoly on it either.
She has such a collection of health, personal growth books, and Christianity books plus pamphlets and magazine.
I think it would be wise to share some of this knowledge about.
How do I help her not be such a hoarder?

Up Between The Branches

I’m finding more and more beauty in sky here and all of the world and on Fridays there this place called Sky Watch

I was down in our library park taking a picture of our local library and looked up at the sky and clouds peaking though the limbs and branches.
Leaves are green and gold every so brite.
I get this e-mail about taking picture and this month it on Landscape picture taking and they suggest using different scene sitting.
So I tried Winter as they suggested.

I got this Friday off so I had time to do Friday Fill in

1. One of the best concerts/plays/movies I ever saw that I really didn't think I'd like was silver streak

2. Turkey chili with pumpkin spice is a recipe I recently made (or meal I recently ordered) that was delicious!

3. It's time for me to finish up posting for my blog and go up stair and spend some time with my family

4. Clean and fresh smelling home is quite refreshing.

5. If I never hear the word Juvie again, it'll be too soon.

Winters Coming and Getting Things Ready On the Home Front.

I’m sick of our election. I’ll be so glad when it over. The only one that makes any money on the mud slinging is the Media.
Boy if I ran the show things would be different. I wouldn’t let the candidate advertise on TV or radio.
Starting 6 weeks before the election.
One day a week for 2 hours they need to have a town meeting type of debate up till the election.
That’s all what our election needs to be!!!!

Well mainly Murphy been moving our firewood into the barn/shed. But today since I had the day off I help.
I would guess we have about 2 cord of wood. We mainly burn larch and red fir. We use to burn about 5 to 8 cords a year.
But since we did some energy saving on this place it takes less wood.
We only plan to use wood when it get down below zero.
The rest time we heat by natural gas and it cheap here.

Well I got all the weeds and items out of my royal sunshine flowerbed honest time…I really let it go though the summer I just don’t do good though the summer heat.
I haul 3 loads of weeds out of there.
Dug up all the plants I want and the bulbs also.
Carefully took care of them. So they could be replanted.

Once I got it all dug up. Murphy help me put everything back in accepted the bulbs. I planted mums and phlox back
Oh don’t you hate it when you can’t recall a plant. I separate some plant called feather something or rather.
I dug up a low lie plant.
My friend Quenelle gave me some plants and she told me she lost her feather something or rather.
So I have anther box of them and I thought dividing that box and giving her part of them.
We have a plant you know the one you can’t recall it name. Quenelle gave to me.
I want to move it in my royal sunshine flowerbed because it under the roof on corner and the snow every year falls off and just smash it all to kingdom come.
Plus Quenelle lost her.
We’re thinking of going up to Katka to see her and her husband Earl this Friday but I’ll call them before we go

Well this morning when I got up Jack Frost made his known that he is around this was the first morning that I had to scrape windows before I went to work.
Maybe I need to be clearer on it. Murphy did my windows.

A quick fact that the 25th will be “In the know” Question of month is.
What holiday don’t you like and how would you chance it?
Then there is a survey on my side bar.

Edit Note…I really didn’t want that picture of my flower bed but I been having trouble up loading picture this evening

Do I Completely Understand My Self..Not Completly

I haven’t done my self a reading for a while. Actual I do my readings from different sources. Personal thought…I don’t believe in one belief has all the right or wrong answer but we are all individual and need to real look deep inside of us Plus I don’t think can predict the future 100% and no god/dess wants us to.
To me it playing with fire

I always pick 4 tarot cards when I do a reading. One represent each direction of north, east, south and west.

The devil (trickery) I believe we have a choice peer an simple if we want to be part of evil. “Not saying it always easy to stay away from evil”
Do I believe the devil tries to get involved with our life? “You can bet your sweet bibbies on that one”
Who is this devil well neither male nor female? It takes many shapes and performs many false tasks in our life.
Sometime devil will play on small stage and other time it will be on the world stage.
I bet we can all name some how we let the devil play us for a fool.
At this time I won’t point fingers now

Four of Wands (completion) I’ve have a hard time feeling like I every complete anything in my life.
I always find fault to most things I do. Never prefect but I know there no such thing but I still demand it.
It seem I’ll start a project but some how Murphy law some how always plays a part in me not completing a task.
I could list why I didn’t finish something or what I need to complete a certain task. But this isn’t the place or time to do it.
But I have learned over the year to actual see the positive or give my self some credit when I complete something.
I start to clean out my bedroom closet. No I didn’t get it all done. But I got rid of the crap, sort things that there more manageable, and got rid of the clothes I don’t want or wear.
But I have an ideal in my mind what I want it to look like but completing it is anther story

The moon(Night Journey) Please note…I’m not sure completely what this card real mean by night journey or what it means to me. but I need to do a little reading up on it and I’ll give you my honest thought towards it.
I have my dreams and goals in my life what I want but I live in a real world. As I said before I want to start doing ceramics again.
I work part time and we need my money to live on. So how can I drop my job and go at in ceramic work?
At this time the tree nursery isn’t all that good because of the building business. So I’m not sure how Murphy job will be.
In my last card of “four of wands” I mention on what I need to complete the closet task. Well I have to say sometime I can’t decided if I should buy item A, B or C. Knowing I only can real afford one item.
So I’m like trying to find my way around in strange dark room looking for something that I can’t make up my mind.
So I let it cripple me in getting my goals done.

The Chariot (Determination) At time I can be real stubborn when I feel I need to. I have determination to be come healthier, reopen my ceramic business and in many other area of my life I have determination but it always seem like the wheels or what every falls off my chariot.
But I know it necessary part of life for one wheel to come off so we can real take a moment and look at our life.
One thing by doing fitday I can see some area I need to change in my diet. I need to decrease my fat and eat differently to get my protein in.
Do I know what I need to do not real but I know what the problem is but do I know the cure.
Not really.

Quick reminder or pest time call it as you see it. The 25th of the month is “In the know” and this month question will be “What holiday don’t you like and would you change it”
I’m doing a survey on my side bar about the economy

I Didn't Wake Up In a Iowa Post Office.

I been told that we dream most nights or when we are a sleep. Well if you can’t recall your dream after being up for an hour or less.
You’re not ready to deal with that part of your life.
But some time I have strange dream so this time as I was drinking my morning coffee and watching the news. I took notes on the dream I had last night

Murphy and I went to town to do some errands. We park in Safeway parking lot and I went over to the post office it wasn’t open yet, because it was early in the morning.
We haven’t had a post box there for years.
But for some strange reason we had a key to our old box so I open it and we had mail in there.
I got one of those fold over type card that you seal shut with a sticker from my friend Quenelle.
She knows my address out where I live.
Plus there was junk mail.
But there was this large envelope address to me.
So I open and it was from the state of Iowa. I was getting sued for $175 for steeling flour from some mill back there.
“I never been in the state of Iowa”

As I was leaving the post office there was a few ladies in there talking about how there benefits was getting cut from the Restorium ( a boarding home for mainly the elderly)
But out side the post office I met Murphy and hand him the envelope and said to him “I’m being sued for steeling flour”.
So he open and read it and said “couldn’t you keep your nose out of the flour” I said “ your so funny” Then I woke up

I’m a fan of the Dream Moods

My Aunt Eve makes great pop corn ball and she isn’t around. No she didn’t die or least I’m 99% sure she kicking still.
Well I been craving popcorn balls you know it getting that time of year. So I went on the net and I’ll be doing these Popcorn ball

Murphy clean out one end of the hay barn so we could stack firewood in there. When he was doing that I worked on the “royal sunshine flowerbed”.
He thinks we in for some economic hard time. And I’m sort of in agreement with him but he worry more about the big one is coming total clasp of the economy.
The tree nursery where he works at sold only two or three truck load of tree this fall and that for a small dig crew for about a week of work if that.
He worked all summer out there because he has pruning experience and knows how to take care of trees.
Well the other guys are tree diggers.
Some of the guys got laid off early in the summer and I don’t know how many got unemployment left or who had worked this summer.
But the owner hired some one to teach them pruning but they weren’t in to it.
So Murphy I went up on our property on the north bench and cut some post to lay down in barn to stack firewood on.

Barton Ghost

Not putting the blame on anything. But there was this vibe I got when Murphy and I went up on Barton Peak to get firewood.
As we came to end of Barton we found a couple of small dead larch so Murphy and I fell them and got the pick up loaded up with firewood.

But in woods I keep seeing I would call spirit like things floating among the trees. My friend Quenelle says she hears spirits and usual they tell her beautiful things.
Well I don’t hear them but every so often some transparent item that moving I will see.
I was seeing Transparent things moving though the trees these where I guess in average length of 2 feet.

A few strange things happen on this trip.
When we got up to the upper part of Barton we found some dead larch that Murphy and I decided to take out.
Well the tree was fairly close to the road but the last tree wasn’t leaning the right way and I decided to pull it over.
And of course it bow season for elk
As I was pulling on the rope a pick up came by and I had to move. Still trying to keep the rope tight and trying to yell over a chain saw.
Some how the rope didn’t remind tight but the tree didn’t fall but Murphy had to help me pull it over.
Don’t worry I help fall bigger and more riskier trees before.
Well after that tree fell we finish loading up the wood and started down the mountain.

We thought every thing was normal and the pick-up was making funny noise. Murphy put it in four-wheel drive and didn’t turn the hubs.
So Murphy took it out of four-wheel drive and I was driving it off the mountain. But it still made the noise.
So we stop and pop the hood and looked at the engine and at that time we didn’t see anything. So we got back in and drove a little more and the noise was still going on.
So again we stop but this time we looked under the rig and saw nothing.
So we open the hood and I notice the belt to alternator was looking pretty thin.
We figure we better get down off the mountain before it got dark. Still plenty of light left.
In short time we heard the belt come off.
So we drove a while.
As Murphy works at a tree farm and we had a roll ribbon that ties trees to steaks. So we made a belt and drove on down the mountain.

We got to the game reserve and someone was there and I asked them if I could use there cell phone and I got hold of Murphy sister Faith and told her we broke down and they came and got us.
Well Murphy once again made a belt and we drove a little more and we met Heinz and Faith.
Well they drove their Acura. Both of us was pretty grime but Murphy was more then I.
So I went back with them to get their pick-up. I usual don’t have trouble driving stick shift but their shifter is odd shape.

So Murphy drove a little farther down the road and I met him down at mouth of Deep Creek and the Kootenai river.
So we got hooked up and I was pulling him.
See the plan was to haul it over to Heinz and Faith.
But some reason Murphy changed his mine. I got to the train track on Riverside and the towrope came undone.
So he decided to drive up the south hill and we where going to re took up.
As I was going out town and for some unreason I could find 3rd and Murphy was having his hand and I could understand his hand movements.
But somehow the rope got tangled in break line front right. He kept telling me to go but I couldn’t.
So he gets out and comes to the pick up.
Plus he was yelling at me.
The neighborhood kid across the way was looking at me.
So I yelled right back at him “Shut the fuck up and I'm fuckin trying to help.” honest time…I felt like punching his light out and hope I hit him hard enough that we went flying across the highway.
Still he told me to go and I got out and showed him that we where tangled up.
So he cut the break line and I tow the pick up Peterson hill and soon as we were on top we stop and undid the trucks.
Murphy drove the truck home.

Well couldn’t fix the truck. So Murphy called his sister to see if he could use there pick-up to go to work the next day.
I believe Murphy and Bart took the pick-up down to our mechanic on bottom of Pleasant Valley loop road and called him and left a message on his answering machine.
Plus left a note in rig.
It was done the next day and it was under a $100 bucks.
Murphy has trouble bleeding the breaks

Well I’m not sure when I’ll go up on Barton. But when I do I’ll take the camera and hopefully I’ll get a picture of the mountain ghost.
