Weekend Photo Hunt (dark-fluffy)

I've been told be afraid of the dark. Because there things that go bump in the night. No it people like me who don't put things away as they need so they can go thump on the noggin.
So I turn off the light and turn on the flash and took picture of the hall way closet. I might get to it sometime. But I want to take care of the smaller bedroom and the barn/shed done this year.


I don't mind shovel snow when it fluffy but when it wet and heavy it brings out the cuss words.

So next weekend hunt looks like it going to be flat and twigs






First of all I never know what to call the people I do home-care for. Not sure to use the term client or friend.
Last week I posted about her trouble with food stamps but it got straighten out for her.
So for the rest of this month she will get about $45.00 then the next month which will be February I saw her statement that she is only getting $80 a month in food stamps.
The family gross income is about $1,100 a month.
Last time I heard about an electrical bill for her it was $190. Not going into any detail she could lower her electrical bill.
Her rent is $115 a month. So in the eyes of health and welfare she has left over in cash to purchase food $795
I know she has net flix and cable type of boob tube. I know health and welfare only considers the necessity of life.
Part of her trouble she need to slap her so call ex man off the tit. She took out a loan to re-due his house and got him all sort of fancy tools.
I never seen him contribute to the well being of the family.
She took the loans out when she was holding down a job and then no longer could work and had to go on disability.
Opinion time...I think she should look into debt forgiveness. I know there law to protect such people who had to go on to disability.
The last sign I saw for legal aid they come up on the 4th Monday of every month. I know they do things related to disability.
They could give her more of straight answer. What the little I know is that it could be dangerous.

I know sometime soon that her daughter gets a disability check from her dad and she will be loosing her $271 a month. It long story it could be use for anther posting.

Well we never lived high on the hog. Most bosses I every had a need for there ego to be fed and I wouldn't play full force on feeding there egos.
So I learn really quick that if I didn't have a bunch of debt it was a lot easier to walk out of job. I've had one person try to hold debt thing over my head. So he did get up to the home plate and took a swing it was such a fast pitch that he went down to his knee a swinging.
I told him that you can't hold me prisoner to this job because of debt. I can walk off this job anytime I need to or want to.





In some way I don't understand why she grumbling about what she gets from the government. I was looking what they get.
There income for the house hold is $1,100
 
Our is only $1,000
Not sure who housing expensive is lower.
But they get $80 in food stamps
She has all of her medical needs picked up. I picked up 3 prescription for her recently. One of them was retail for $100.00
All of my medical which isn't that much but still it out of pocket.

I was trying to compare her income to mind in eyes of the people who determine what amount one would get food stamps.
Statement time....We can't receives food stamps because our worth is over $2,500. They don't count the first vehicle, and the home you live in.
We have over $2,500 in investments, and other properties.
But to eyes of food stamp people our income would be something like $759.00 a month.
I know they would let us take off
Electrical bill of $60.00 a month
Base Phone bill of $20.00 a month
Water bill of $41.00 a month
Gas bill of $20.00 a month.
Property taxes of $100.00
which comes to $241.00

But they won't let us take off any of these expenses
Internet hook up $10.00 a month
Long distant phone $15.00 a month
house and vehicle insurance $170.00 a month
self employment tax $60 a month.

So to cover everything else in life we have $469.00 including food.

Editor note...we told both of the boys as there where going though college that we would buy there vehicle insurance.
They been working and paying there own way though college. So we figure we can pay for there insurance. But we never have bought there vehicles for them.

I'm still working on improving my health. I been doing ok but I could always use some improvement. I have to say I been doing ok on my caffeine in take.

I order some pero  and it didn't come in
My weigh in at T.O.P.S was a maintain. “I'll take it.”
Well almond milk was on sale at Safeway.
So I'm letting the ladies who is part of Get off your broom  know about this weeks post.

I'm still trying to do Carla's No-Low Spend So here three items I purchase and the prices.
Silk Almond Milk ½ gallon at $2.29. I had coupon or it would have been regular $3.29
A doughnut at .69¢
Orange are .39¢ a pound and looks like hubby got about ½ dozen of them.
Carla's is doing anther challenge for february
I'll post mine as part of my weather report for January.



The last Saturday of this month we're having a mid-winter family get together over at my Aunt Eve's place. My Uncle Bob will be turning 80 around ground hog day.  
But this isn't what I want to post. Actual I want to post about some people including relatives of mine. Has the attitude about coming from bad seeds.
There relatives of mine won't list them because it would be confusing. I have to many relatives.
It seem like Uncle Bob and his wife Aunt Maria and others are into shunning there niece Jane and also Jane daughter Alison.
Because there from the seeds of Uncle Mike and Aunt Joyce.
Uncle Mike was my mother's brother and I haven't heard one of siblings not make the statement some what like this “I want to beat the shit out of mommy little blue eyes sunny boy”
But it seems like Uncle Bob and Aunt Maria was some of the same course of action that my Grandmother Olive had to certain people.
My dad and my grandmother people who they didn't like they could be right down nasty to. My father I haven't yet figured out how he choice to be nasty to. But my grandmother was quite simple.
If your name had any simulates as in Alice, Cathy, Cynthia, Myra, Florence, Minnie or in name after her in laws.
But if you had the names of John, Charles, Shirley, or Ann your where just fine in her book. Even if your where right down a piece of shit. In her thinking “You got framed and bad rap”
But any name I didn't mention above, you're pretty much safe.

Weekend Photo Hunt (animals-bliss)


I could image my life with some type of pet (animals) . To me there part of family. So I'll take a few moment of your time to introduce them.
Daisy.. like to watch Murphy and I. Editor Note..I couldn't quite get the red eye out. Daisy isn't blind as her left eye might lead you to believe.

 
Ziggy...Is a real snob.

and Rosie...the one who like to eat and will even eat with Daisy

One morning Murphy said that sure was some sunrise and I thought it would fit today theme of bliss.

So next weekend photo hunt will be dark and fluffy

Editor Note...All ok I won't say all. But most of the day I been swearing on how things are going with this computer

The Dog's Speldert On the Floor and Disna Gie a Cheep

One sure see others differently. I've blog about my anxiety attacks but my hubby doesn't see my anxiety
I guess his ideal of anxiety is “a person doesn't matter what goes on in their life their hair is always on fire”. But one time he told me “If a ship is sinking I would rather have you in charge you would be level headed and get everyone off” But most of the time I feel like a “basket case”
Sunday we as in Murphy, Quenella, and I went to the human right day. Idaho and anther state I think it Arizona doesn't use the term Martin Luther king day.
“So” Statement time...I actual like the term “Human Right Day”
Last year show was a lot better but this year show was nothing to sneeze about.
I like learning and I can't recall what this instrument but it came from Germany. Sound like bagpipe. Oh I did find out what it is called “herdie gerdie” One of the songs they sing and the song was about going to war for the kings shilling.
Our little town of Bonners Ferry had a black mayor. In the 1800's by the name of Cook.
On the day “Human Right Day” our local school try to fill 2 school bus for our local food bank. So I bought a few items to donate.
Brownie Mix...$1.45
Tuna...$1.79
Dish Soap...$2.49
Fruit Cocktail....99¢
Poptarts....$2.29
Soup....$2.29
Carrots....79¢
So all the stuff above came to $12.82. If your wondering how I came with this figure. Idaho charge sale tax on food.
Opinion time....It a burden on the real poor to pay sale tax on there food. I would rather see the sale tax remove from food. Increase the sale tax on non-food items.
Some may disagree with removing sale tax from food on these grounds “The food stamps (EBT) card one doesn't pay sale tax”
But to even quilter for food stamps one needs to be in such dire poverty. 

So Monday I went and help Murphette out. There some trouble with her food stamps (EBT) I saw the letter and can't recall the amount exactly. But she is to get about $179 or $279 a month in food stamp benefits.
But for some reason they haven't been credit to her food stamp (EBT) card.
But got must of her Christmas items down now. Plus went and got her medication which was $4.40. She has medicaid to help pay for it. I couldn't afford her medication.
Plus her tabaco and cigarettes tubes.
Opinion time...This bother me about home care and personal care...That it's ok for them to continue on with there habits that are destructive.
As I said in one of my past blogs sitting mini goals

So not thinking. I went into our local food bank to get Murphette a food box but it was close for “Human right day” but that's ok. I went in Tuesday and got them a box of food. I didn't dig though her box but it looks like a pretty round it box of food.
But our local food bank one is only aloud to get a food box 3 or 4 times a year. I know one can go in weekly to get from what they call salvaging. Which it depends what can be found though out the community and one helps them self. Oh there time they might post a sign something like this “2 bread items, 1 gallon of milk, and 3 dairy items”
But the one that is ran by the Mount Hall Community Church. I heard there able to give a food box once a month out.

Then on Tuesday I went in for T.O.P.S and I gain ¾ a pound. Well snow never came in November or December but now it's making a showing. So I had to bundle up more.
That the news for health wise.
I got my blood pressure numbers in a decent range. I haven't been walking as much but some how I mange to get down to end of the road.

I been trying to just buy practical items. A few prices from a local area.
Barley flakes...there a $1.25 and I got 1.54 pounds which came to $1.93
loaf of Seattle sourdough bread...$2.49
Regular gas is still...$3.19 a gallon.


So I try to check in with No-Low Spend or get off your broom

I ran Qunella around today. We went to quite a few place really to many to mention. But we stop at her neighbor and there not going to say anything but I came to conclusion that they where a little uncomfortable around her. Statement time...Qunella is a little different then most people. I think that ok it makes life interesting.
She went down to ask to let her use there computer so she can do some typing on her web site. They didn't come out and say yes or no.
So I offer to do her typing and she going to pay me $10 an hour. I've seen Quenella type and I know I can type a lot faster then her.
She took me to Bread Basket got me cup of coffee and fry pie she had Marion berry and I had Peach.
Plus I got my Barley Flakes at Sharons country store    which is right there.

It seem strange but not here in North Idaho. One day there was no snow to speak of but look at it now.

But not long ago I saw these birds munching on a apple tree with tiny crab apples.

Weekend Photo Hunt (circular and joy)

I though I would have to take a picture of a circular saw. But when I was going out and cleaning out the barn/shed I notice the end of the firewood tips where circular shape.
I can't say how often we miss measures when we cut the firewood. So Murphy has to trim them up so they'll fit in the wood stove.
But I like to use these circular pieces to put my coffee on.
There a good pieces to use when you need to start a fire. 
Before 1968 if any one every said “Joy to world” one would thinking of the Christmas carol. But I can recall the day I first learn about the song about “Jeremiah was a bullfrog”.
It had to be a warm day in 1968 so I would have been in middle years of elementary education, third or fourth grade.
I only lived two and half blocks from Broadway elementary school. So there were other who lived farther from the school and I would join them when they came to corner of Piece and Cataldo.
Stated are daily journey to school.
The reason I said it had to be warm day. I had no leotards on but in those days girls whore dresses.
When I met up with my fellow school chums. They where singing this song about a “bull frog” and I thought it was real cool song.
I got the whole scoop on song of Joy to World. You know in those days your peers knew more about what your parents every thought was possible.
Well I would guess I never learn much on that day as far as school went. But I did learn the Three dog night song of Joy to World.
I couldn't wait to I go home and share this song with my mom. Confession time...I never felt comfortable sharing certain things with my father.
He seem judge mental with me and critical.
But there been very few times in my life I could recall having a deep conversation with. 

Next week theme for the weekend photo hunt is animals  and bliss  if anyone would like to be part of the hunt or visits other who takes part in the photo hunt please click on either animal or bliss.

Editor Notes...There not many opportunity to take a picture of a frog in North Idaho usual this time of year.

So below is a copy of both “Joy to World” 

Cold here. It seem strange to have this type of cold with out any snow. But a least I can still go out and work on the shed/barn.
A total of 3 shelves done. Those shelves I got done I can really see the difference in.

The next two shelves coming up. It will take two people to do. One will have to be on a latter and the other one on the ground.

But I'll wait a few days. Murphy is stopping smoking pot. A couple of reason it irritates his lymph in his neck. Plus he feels guilty using my money.
He mention what more there to life. “Religion and guns” Neither one of our big gun fans. We do have a few guns in the home. Neither one of us our into dogma of religion. I'm one who more into spiritual side of life. I look at my self as “agnostic spiritual”
Well for the ceramics I'm still clawing at it. I pulled down an old Mrs. Clause I started to paint some time in the pass.
I figure firing off the old paint and starting from fresh would be the best way to go.
I thought I would like to do up some plant tenders up. People who has house plants would be a little zing but. Statement time...I'm not organize enough to be doing that line in ceramic paints. I'm a lot better just to keep to piece that only use acrylics at this time.
Confession time...If I add anther line to my ceramics at this time it would just be a plain crazy stunt. Which would only over whelm me.
It easier to pay the bills on weekly thing the only bill we need to pay is the local land line which is $17.36.
Then our long distances bill from Credo was $13.00
Right now the have cabbage both red and green on sale at Harvest foods. At .49¢ a pound.
But I have to Confession time...I'm not looking forward from the lab work bill.

I was eating dinner and listening to NBC evening news and they said “Most American don't have enough to retire on”  So they used the AARP Calulator One can't predict inflation and things like that.
So by there calculation hubby and I don't have to cut back until are mid 80's . We can continue this life style.
Opinion time... they really don't ask enough question to make fair analysis. We don't live high on the hog. Are monthly utilities are under $200 month, own our place, insurances not medical runs in a year $2,000, and property taxes about $1,200 a year.
One can't predict certain things in life such as maintenance and oh shit I forgot stuff. 

I'm still cutting back on my caffeine intake. The stage I'm at is I have my morning coffee. Then every 6 hours I have some coffee.
I don't have any coffee after six in the evening.
As for walking well I'm still at it.

When Murphette was in for her appointment I walk down to end of the road which my Uncle Mike and Aunt Joyce use to live on.

When Murphette was in for her appointment I walk down to end of the road which my Uncle Mike and Aunt Joyce use to live on.

The house is gone. So is the neighbors home is also gone. It sure change the look of the neighborhood.
Plus got a letter written. I don't know what it is but it a good feeling to receive a letter the way of snail mail.

As for other walking I like to increase it our neighborhood. The weather been cold. So I do mange to almost on daily get to walk to end of our road which then you would be on pleasant valley loop 
Jeremiah was a bullfrog
Was a good friend of mine
I never understood a single word he said
But I helped him a-drink his wine
And he always had some mighty fine wine
Singin'...

Joy to the world
All the boys and girls now
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me

If I were the king of the world
Tell you what I'd do
I'd throw away the cars and the bars and the war
Make sweet love to you
Sing it now...

Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me

You know I love the ladies
Love to have my fun
I'm a high life flyer and a rainbow rider
A straight shootin' son-of-a-gun
I said a straight shootin' son-of-a-gun

Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me

Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me

Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the world
Joy to you and me

Joy to the world
All the boys and girls now
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me

Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me

I wanna tell you
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me

Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me

(fading)
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls


Joy to the world! the Lord is come;
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare him room,
And heaven and nature sing,
And heaven and nature sing,
And heaven, and heaven, and nature sing.
Verse 2
Joy to the world! the Saviour reigns;
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.
Verse 3 (optional)
No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found,
Far as the curse is found,
Far as, far as, the curse is found.
Verse 4
He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders, wonders, of His love.

Opinion time...This is the best part to Christmas Carol...”And heaven and nature sing,
And heaven and nature sing,
And heaven, and heaven, and nature sing.”

The cat's Singin Grey Thrums To The Sleepin Hen

Mid week is here. Let just say my brain is just plain isn't right. I don't know if it every was. I just plain wish it would settle back down. But I don't want or need a brain that sound asleep either.
Not sure what some head shrink would say. But I like the way I explain it...”No fancy medical terms”
Confession time...At time I do feel normal for what that is worth.

I sat up some goals Let say I'm surely not busting to get though it but so far it coming along nicely. If I have a day off or I'm not physical or a mental mess.
I've been cleaning one shelf at time in the barn/shed. So far there two shelves done.

There just plain trash that gets hauled to dump.



 
I decide to haul out everything and empty out every box. My goal is to Tithe 10% or more of thing out of that shed. Not to be transfer to anther place around the place.
Not sure at the tail end how much stuff will be going to yard sale.
On the yard sale it depends how much stuff will be there. If there not enough stuff for me to hold a yard sale at our place.
Someone in town will have one. I'm sure I can add my stuff to it.
What doesn't sell it going to a thrift store.

I've been participating in No-Low Spend over at Half of Dozen Daily. As far as I can see I only purchase what is necessity in life.
I hadn't planning for the microwave to go out.
I hadn't plan for a blood draw at the doctor office either. They want to check my elector-lights.
But here a few prices for things in my area.
Gas is $3.19(2.50EU 2.06 GP) a gallon. I drive a Toyota tercell and it gets really good mileage.

But still it cost $29.24(22.98EU 18.95GP). I've took $30(23.58EU 19.44GP) out of checking.
Bag of Orange not sure of the weight is $1.99(1.56EU 1.28GP)
2 liters bottle of Ginger ale is .99¢(.77EU .64GP) sense I live short distant from British Columbia that pop would cost about $1.01 in Canadian dollar.
I thought I was going to take Murphette and her gang to wall mart and she broke. Some how there was some trouble with her food stamp card (EBT) So she spend all of her cash on food.
Confession time...I'm sorry things didn't work out for Murphette but honestly I didn't want to go down to wall mart in Sandpoint.
So I ordered a 1250 watt microwave though amazon for $117.

As for the ceramics I been just barely scratching the surfaces. I bitch and gripe about how the home-care stuff is ran.
But actual I feel pulled so many ways when it comes to my ceramic goals.
Statement time...At this time I know there a little chance us making a living at ceramics.
But I look at it and Murphy looks at the same way. Go to a local market of some type. Sale a few items. Pick up few items one would need or wanted for the place. I'm not talking about a vehicle but more like an oil change or some type of costume jewelry.

Confession time.... I feel frustrated that I'm limited to casting certain things at this time.
Do to lack of commercial rubber bands. Rubber bands are use to hold the mold together. But with some minor research and guess I would need to ruffly purchase $500 worth.
It would be a little less. We use old tire tubes for large pieces. confession time...I don't feel comfortable taking that kind of money out saving all at one time.
But I would feel comfortable taking out $40. Then banding up a few molds. Statement time...a large majority of molds are kept together. It not like one half of mold is some place else. 

As for the weight I don't know what I want to weigh but I know I don't want or need to weigh this.
Tuesday the 10th of January I weight in at 216 pounds and before that I was at 218. A 2 pound lost for the week.
I'm five foot..six inches. So I'm not short at all.
I would classify my self as medium bone.
People looks at my boobs then classify me as large bones.
If I put on large blouse I can button it but it so sloppy in the shoulders. At times it would fit like a Green Bay Packer line man uniform
Then if I put on medium size blouse I can't button it but it fits everywhere else.
Oh so frustrating”
Before resent time Murphy never walked with me. So last Sunday we walked around the neighborhood.





I took the camera on the way back we walk pass our drive way and I got this picture looking East.

So Monday I started work later in the day. Someone in my T.O.P.S group had a good suggestion go for a walk in different area.
So Murphy and I try to head out to some place different then our own neighborhood.


We went out to the game reserve and walk what is called “deep creek trail”. Some one built a memorial bench along the trial. Which the above picture was taken from.
We also thought it was good place to head back.
It sure looks more like winter out there then at home.
Saw more birds on this trip then our last visit.

I'm sort of, the reason I use sort of is I have no true commitment to any thing on a blog or other place on world wide web. But when every I'll be checking in at get off your broom which is a about improving one health.

Weekend Photo Hunt (Bling and Tree Branches)

Bling to me all most sound like you want to cuss and swear. But in present company it wouldn't be a wise move, even if you have a mouth full of “shit”
But I found out Bling is something BIG and outstanding.
Well we had a great place to shop everyone called B.T.C the dirty rats left and Safeway  came in. Well I haven't heard anyone giving Safeway high marks. 
But right now there putting in a store called super1foods it might not look or sound like much but here it bling. Opening date is sometime in June actual there coming right a long. A least at this point the workers don't have to fight with the snow. 

Recently Quenella friend of our had her place logged. I believe she own a little over 5 acres and if I'm not mistaking they took out five truck loads of logs.
This is what they call a slash pile. It has odds and ends in like left over logs that couldn't be market, tree branches
There always been debates how things should be logged around here. There always been a rife between the people in lumber business and the environmentalist.
In a nut shell both are wrong and right that's my take on it. But it like congress they won't budge and inch.
Well later in season the pile will get burn usual it burn in October or later. But before that Murphy will cut some firewood out of it and so she'll have her winter wood or least some of it.
Lot depends on the weather when they'll burn it but I hope the following year or so they'll have some morel mushrooms.
So Click on either one of these words Circular or Joy to find out more about what I call “weekend photo hunt”.

Hey, Willie Winkie, Are Ye Comin' Ben

I might as well get this right out in the open. Tuesday was our first weigh in at  T.O.P.S  This year we got to look at our sheets mine didn't look good. My weigh in is at 218 (98.2kilograms). But this is first year they actual let us look at our recordings. Statement time...I think it a good walk up call to see our own weight.
I learn one thing at TOPS. Not to over whelm your self. So part of my general goals
of 2012 is to keep it simple. But for my health I sat this goals....Well for health goal is start some simple health habits...drink water, walk and keep a health journal
Around about way I found a get in shape and I'm not talking round, square shapes. But being in good health so head on over to get off your broom and I don't know if it to late or not to sign up
So hubby and I been doing some walking. I never could get him to walk around the neighborhood with me. But he is.
There are times we will go some place and walk.

Well last Tuesday the 3rd we went over to what used to be Les place. Walk on the river dike road toward town. I only had about ½ hour walking time. I was heading off to work.


Tuesdays later in day I believe around three o clock our neighbors out buildings burn to the ground. I believe he lost lot of his toys. 

So I stared work later on Wednesday so Murphy and I walk over and see the damage. Well it was the place he kept all of his toys. Murphy pointed out the tractor to me and yes it was burned.
He been a good neighbor and I feel bad for the guy.
Philosophy time...People who locks and has all sort of bells and whistle run there place....I'm wonder what kind of criminal activity is going on.
His shed is wide open and it would be easy enough to back up and take the stuff.
So as careless on security he was it good sign to me his stuff wasn't stolen.

I been having trouble with my blood pressure and recently having attacks of anxiety. Feeling over whelm. I don't sleep right I fill tired when I go to bed and then don't fall asleep. Then I'll wake up between 2 and 3 in the morning go to the bathroom but can't go back to asleep.
I'll get some thought into my head and it just won't let go of it. I have no ideal why or where this thoughts come from.
They been giving me a feeling of uneasiness.
Let me tell you there just to many to list and actual they cover every about every subject one could even thing of.
I would almost called it some kind of brain restlessness. I'm having trouble keeping my brain calm
It does go way. Then once again it appears out of the thin blue air.
Statement time...I'm having the same feeling when I was working for Donna.
She became more and more demanding...Opinion time...she only had a care giver for about 16 hours a week and she thought she need one for a 40 hour week and sense she didn't get one for 40 hour week she demand you to put in a 40 hour week in a 16 hour period.
Good I walk out of there a good 6 months ago.
As a person she actual a real kind person as a friend but to work for it complete different story.

I was going to tell you about this lady who running in our state dist. I can't find her on internet to me she one those crazies. But it could be good post for later on.

Hubby and I been looking at garden seeds. Going though the catalogs and inventorying what we have and need.
I would like to put in an asparagus bed. To what I've heard deer don't care about asparagus so that can go on out side of the garden fence.
