For Shame But It Makes No Sense.

I been doing home care for quite a while now. Notice a lot of things on how things work. Some good and some bad. So there room for improvements like everything else.

 

The other day I stop in for a visit at Murphettes. Seems she was doing ok for her. To find out she had to piss for a drug test. See here in Idaho if you take any sort of opioids

you sign a contract at anytime a doctor office or law enforcement agency can come and check out your opioids. 

Murphette uses a hydrocodone

Statement time..... I've never seen her abuse them and isn't whack out on them either. I've seen people taking there legal narcotic...opinion time...they haven't been on earth for years.

Not sure which day this all happen, but it was this month. She was at the doctor office and had to let them know when was the last dose of her hydro she had taken. Wanting to know if the right amount of her medication is in her system. So she isn't selling them on the black market.

In the correctional institution they would say “you have dirty pee” for having marijuana or any other drug that isn't approve by FDA.

So in the nut shell of things. They gave her a choice of her pain meds or marijuana. If she choice to stay on marijuana they won't prescribe her pain pills to her.

It comes right down to economics and support the pharmaceutical companies. First of all I have no ideal what it cost medicaid to see if she or isn't taking her prescribe medication. So for her it going to be cheaper to let the medical establishment keep her dope up on pain medication. Sooner or later there going to increase the dose so she can manage her pain level.

I'm clueless how one could actual compare medical marijuana to prescribed medication. Here in Idaho since it bought on black market for an ounce it goes from $200 to $400.

How much marijuana does one need to get as they would need to get the same result from opioids. I've picked plenty of pain pill and none of them were every charged over $25.00 for a month supplies. Any how medicaid picks up the tab

I only actual meant one person that use pharmaceutical THC and it cost the state if I recall about $3,000 a month.

 

The days of Reefer Madness

is over. It's time to move forward, legalization of marijuana. I know if you google in the word “marijuana” in form you will have plenty of info to support any argument.

Below is some links I find interesting.

Coffee is on and go head and toke up.

I”m Forced But Surely Am Not At My Wits End.

I went out and took two picture for this weekend photo hunt. A picture of an Over. My Over was going to be picture of the Selkirk mountain range. Once you went over the mountain you would be at Priest Lake area. 

 

The other part of this weekend photo hunt was Rusty. I been embroidery a set of pillow cases. When it comes to do the "french knot" I'm surely Rusty at it.

 

Some time I wonder exactly were my brain is at. I knew I was going to get a pay check in the mail today. For some strange reason I thought it should be 120 bucks. I open and it was only 60 something. Crap I most figured Faith Two checks of $60 bucks. So now it more like it.

Our side door needs the handle replaced the door knob.

Talking about brain farts...The last three days I keep meaning to stop in state liquor store to get some boxes. I been going though the shelves in the basement pantry....Haven't stop in.

 

I tried to make divinity the other night. But I didn't whip it long enough. Actual it came out really good. Just like the filling in a nugget candy bar. No nuts or chocolate. But was glad to pass this about.

Sunday I will try to make anther set of goodies. Not sure what but I'm leaning toward fudge or cheesecake cookies.

Murphy and I went out on the bench property to locate the property steaks. I kind of eye ball for possible Christmas tree. Last year we had a white pine. I saw on net someone made a Christmas tree out of just dead or leaf less tree. The plain branch tree decorate look attractive. 

 

My friend LaWalla picked up book from the library down in Sandpoint. Called “I fired God” by Jocelyn R Zichterman...from page 123...TRUE TO FORM, BART TOLD HIM I'LL GLADLY LET YOU TAKE HER OFF MY HANDS. SHE'S YOUR PROBLEM NOW! IF YOU NEED HELP GETTING HER BACK IN LINE, GIVE ME A CALL...Opinion time I don't see much difference between the Fundamental Chistains and or Islamisms

The reason I didn't getting any picture up for hunt for this weekend. My Memory Card reader/writer went belly bust.

Shouldn't be hard to replace. Just need to get into a store that cares them. Next time around the photo hunt themes will be game and or unusual photo

Two and Only Two

As I've over heard different members of my mom side say “Since Myra was such a crappy mom that there surprise we raise some decent sons”

Confession time...I did two major things different them my parents did...Don't worry hubby and I pretty much screwed up in some other ways.

First all I never put that much importance or love toward money. This was my mother worst fault. I can recall my dad came home from work one evening. Lost his job for 30 days from railroad with out pay. Opinion time..It was unjust ex-pension from work.

My dad was working what was called the 8-9 run. Which is when a train left Spokane and went up to Eastport and into Canada.

The train had to stop at the border and go though customs. As the train was getting inspected he told the crew to over and have lunch at cafe at Eastport.

So after lunch they took the train and came back. My mom went and picked him in up our green 57 GMC pick-up. I remember my dad telling my mom that he got expelled from the job with out pay for 30 days for letting the crew take an early lunch.

The look on my mom face was peer terror. Then my father said he was going to take out some money from saving and go fishing. Which didn't help my mother what so every, actual it made things worst.

What my dad did to me emotional is hell of lot worst what my mother even came close to. I've had people at time say “Pete didn't have a mean bone in his body” Statement...This is totally crook of shit....sure the guy did have a lot of good points.

I can't even count how many time he did this.

He would bad mouth me to people right in front of me as I didn't exist. Saying all sort of nasty stuff about me. Put me down. Anyone who would listen and if they would say something negative about it or about me it was even better for him.

I brief talk to a counselor about this behavior toward me...Editor note....As I talk to counselor my father been dead for quite a while and never has opportunity to speak on this matter.

The counselor said people who behaves in the matter it way to control and manipulate. Older I got the worst it got.

I didn't take his shit and meanness laying down. Then it made things worst. Next available opportunity he had. He would just rake me over the coal right in front of me as once again I didn't exist. Then behind my back he would say wonderful things about me as I walked on water.

When these two injustice ended when my parents was buried. Actual when my dad was laying in his casket I felt a relieve was lift off of me.

I won't make the statement we were even close of being parents like the cleavers on “Leave it to Beaver”

Weekend Photo Hunt (fruit-neat)

I like fruit the other day I picked up an orange for .99¢ a pound. Picked up only one, that evening We split the orange between both of us.

This last summer my hubby and I put up both raspberries and strawberries. They sure taste good now.

Let me tell you I'm sure not a neat freak. On my yesterday

post I talked about; I finely got though all of the shed/barn shelves. Still not neat and organized. But this winter I like to tackle the pantry in our basement.

 

Next weekend photo hunt will be over and or rusty

Crunching The Time

I did get all the way though all the shelves out in the shed/barn. Got rid of least 10% of stuff or even a little more. Question time...How does a person a get so much stuff. Older I get less stuff I want or even really need.

Now what I would like to do is have a yard sale and get rid of more of the things in that shed. But it coming on to winter and it just plain silly try to have a yard sale. No one want to wade though snow.

But there spring that's usual when people start to have yard sales.

Also it time to start to go though some of stuff in the basement. Well I'll have a picture of my pantry room in basement. Part of the photo hunt.

 

I been embroidery a set of pillow cases. I got the larger butterfly done. I had to draw in design with a fine tip marker.

Actual I was a little worried at the rate I was going it wouldn't be done by Christmas. These pillow cases will be given to Sawyer and Betty as couples gift. 

  I haven't done a french knot. Had to watch a video on how to do it. Strange I haven't yet figure how to save or place videos. Maybe better luck next time. One can see I'm no wiz on computer.

 

Still chugging along with my ornaments. Last time I took a count. I needed 30 of them for gifts or part of wrapping gifts. I like doing 4 at a time. Which gives me a chance to mix and match all different colors. Well I still have a few ornaments for sale

I think the next one I'll put up for sale is Baby Jesus one. Can't see listing much more.

 

I just made a batch of snickerdoodles and I'm taking them down to Spokane Valley giving them to Sam family which Bart is renting what I would call a bachelor pad. So they can share.

Also give some to Sawyer and Betty.

1 Cup of butter (2 sticks) 2 Eggs, 2 Cups of sugar, 1 tablespoon corn syrup and 2 and half teaspoon of vanilla...mix together.

3 ½ cups of flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 2 teaspoon of soda ¼ teaspoon of salt, ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon

Roll into walnut shape balls then roll in sugar and cinnamon mixture (3 tablespoon of sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon) place on cookie sheet about 3 inches apart then gentle press down.

Bake at 375 for about 10 to 12 minutes.

Earlier in the day we went and paid half of property taxes. Everything is valued at $143,840 but we get a home exemption of $45,595. Yearly our property taxes are $1,143.38. Next half due in June of 2014.

Don't Deal Me Three Four's In This Hand

Yesterday post I mention about blogging for the entire month of Oct and visit some other blogs. The 3^rd have a list of them.

One things I liked. One is luv comment. Still not a fan of “Your Comment is awaiting moderation”...Question time...Never can see why some people needs or wants to monitor the comments they may get...Opinion time...I only see narrow minded people needs to monitor there comments..... ..I think it limited one self.

Crap if a person needs to make a fool of them self leaving Unruly comment, so let them. I rather deal with the little letters and numbers you fill in to prove your not robot. Then that monitor crap.

Actual not sure if I every join blogher. I know the site been around longer then facebook. Not sure if it pre My space time. Do you remember My Space now.

Couple of the new blogs I stop in during the month. Sure had the thought one needs to join every social type network of out there.

I don't see it. Who needs to be connected all the time. I got better things to do with my time. I look at all these social net working site. Is like shopping for the sake of shopping and spending money or time. Probably don't have either one.

I do facebook. Sometime I'm actual dead as a door nail and other time I'm alive and kicking. Confession time...I'm a big farmville fan. Its usual the only game I play.

Ones in while I'll post something over on my twitter account. I believe you have to say your piece in 160 characters. Not the best at being a tweeter.

Actual I like blogging and reading other blogs; more then I do the social media networks.
