Had to Wait.

Yesterday I did my part one to my introduction, about a tour of where I live. Hopeful some time during the week or so I can get more about my home state of Idaho and the northern part. After reading the comment from my POST on location of  Idaho and they thought it was one the eastern state.
We have 3 Midwest states that start with letter I...Illinois, Iowa, and Indiana.

We had a discussion group with local pagan and it was over dreams. I guess there tons of meaning to our dream.
I keep a so so called dream journal. Some time I might dream and get to busy to write them down. As I got more in to dream journal I also wrote down how I felt in my dreams. Then I go back and re-read my dreams and notice what similarities they have.
When I am in building the clock and calendar is at the number one. Also there no conflict in my dreams I get a long with everyone, but reality my life has conflict. Not much conflicted. My dream life is perfect and in real life it not.
I have a lot of green in my dreams.

So I am going to host our next pagan party which will be LUGHNASADH OR LAMMAS  and this time we will have CIRCLE to celbrate and give Thanks for harvest and wishing the farmers best.

I also finished up my so call bullet journal or my plans and goals for following month, for me which is tomorrow.   One thing is to be more mindful of what I do, less on automatic pilot.
As tomorrow arrives in it beauty and glory it will be June Report. And I can go back on facebook.
Confession time...I didn't miss facebook although that much.

Could It Be Neither

Didn't get to do everything I need or want to do on YESTERDAY post. Mostly I want to stop by visit blogs.
Well two reason I want to listen to the democrat debate and once that was over a electric storm came though.
For Thursday post I had already sort of plan on post.

But before on my plan post Regis and I went to Sandpoint it was a quick trip for our errand he had his yearly physical and we went to library. Then came back to Bonners Ferry

As many you know I start keeping track of what I place in my mouth and I also want to know if I am getting healthy nutrition. Sure I can keep track of my calories and eat crap up to my calorie goal.
Fit day keeps count of the nutrition. From fats to your minerals and vitamins. At this time I want to post about the fats. I was wondering how much fat a person actual need and why. So I went and googled it
According to CLEVELAND HEALTH CLINIC one should have 20% to 35% of fats in calories. Or If your on 2,000 calorie diet. Then in break down to 44 to 77 grams a day. Ok here the break down for us American who don't do metric. 3.5 to 6.0 tablespoon.
The SATURATED FATS  are the lease we need. 
Well according to fit day site. Which hasn't been quite a week.
My daily average calorie in take 2,078. But the fat calories is 852, or 46% of what I eat is fat, not necessary neither good or bad. But fat. Will get to the break down in second. 6.4 tablespoon or 91 grams.
Saturated fat 255 calories, or 12%. I believe saturated fat should be under 10%. 1.8 grams all most 2 tablespoon
Polyunsaturated fat 186 calories, or 9%. But for grams it would be 21 1.4 tablespoon.
Monounsaturated fat 315 calories or  15%. But for grams it would 35.7 2.3 tablespoon
There more then fat to a diet. And I will keep you all posted on my progress.
My bounds when come to eating has been stretch a bit. But this week non of them been total shattered.

Wednesday Pop Up Number Forty One

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY


1.  Who knew there was a day to celebrate parchment paper?!  Do you ever use parchment when you bake or cook? No I haven't heard about parchment paper day. But there a lot I haven't heard of. I have used parchment paper and wonder what the difference between wax paper and parchment.

2.  When Terri thinks of parchment paper, she usually thinks about special writing or artist papers. She loves using specialty papers for creating cards or other art projects. Tell us about a creative way you have used parchment paper other than to bake with! I love being creative and need to google "parchment arts and crafts" 

3.  Terri used to be in the cake business and has piped many borders and roses and leaves and letters, etc., etc.  You can make a pastry bag from parchment paper!  Have you ever tried decorating a cake with a pastry bag and specialty tips?  Do you have a picture to share?  Don't be shy, now! Didn't know Terri was in the cake business. I made doll cake before, although it was in days before internet and computers. I am giving away my age. 

4.  Tell us about something you baked or cooked in the past week or so that turned out great, parchment or no parchment.  Will you share the recipe? Since I work I haven't done any real cooking. But I been thinking of cookies pineapple and banana ones. 

5.  The last Wednesday in June!!  How can that be? Has your June flown by or have you been able to enjoy each day and make it slow down for you? Yes it has flown by quickly. Our June weather here been little below average.

6.  Tell us something about your week so far, if you will. This morning I trim and work in flower bed below our front window.

For more fun stop by our hostess TERI

This time I decided to use last prompt which is list of words to build a story from...Welcome, Trigger, Moving, Taller, Essential, Expecting,

It was any other day in Rexton local store, people were moving about and doing there shopping. Rexton had pass laws a decade or so, that people could carry firearms. Not even half would strap on firearms and as note most people in community packed a fire arm usual they kept it hidden.

Actual Rexton was friendly town, were you felt welcome. Your neighbor would help you when you are in need. Walking about people would smile and knowledge your present.

Not sure how long it would take someone to be trigger happy with one of guns. It seem anyone could get a gun. Or really had no responsibility with it. A lease with vehicle you have to carry liability insurance, title and register it. Plus a liaison to operated it.
Not even medical person could find someone unstable to have a firearm.

No one was expecting Histon to walk in at local cafe, pulled his revolver out of it holster and start shooting. The cafe wasn't quite packed, most people began to knock over table. It never lucky when someone died in a mass shooting. But only one died Monie she had two children and was about to get her PHD. And then there were one wounded and had no medical insurance. And there in possible the hospital and medical personal could put a lean on there property.

The people after so many shootings start to have enough and they start to petition there elected officials about guns and shootings.

They need to get more on board then people of Rexton, see there still was about fourth who thought our second amendment was above human life.

Now was the time to rally the voice of people to make them seem taller and more powerful then any lobby group or the NRA.
What would be the most essential way of people being safe from gun violence.

Hope every on enjoyed the Wednesday Pop Up

Oh Those Nasty Number

For those don't know I start back doing FITDAY my getting healthy isn't going as I need or want to. So I start to record I eat with Fitday.
But what I notice I notice these on line food journal seem to always is missing something. One of our T.O.P.S members uses MY FITNESS PAL
The other thing I notice between different food package, and even on line food journal the information on calories, and nutrition will very.
Well weigh in at T.O.P.S I was up a pound. My goal was to loose six and quarter pounds in a quarter. Well end of June would be the end of the second quarter of year, and I should of be down twelve and half pounds.
So that the main reason I start up with fitday. If I eat I posted on fitday.
First weigh in July I hope will to be down a pound, which I gain.
I did set my calorie intake goal of 2,060 to 2,310
Then my other 3 self set rules for better health is no eating after seven pm, water, which I will talk about in anther blog post. And walking.

It been a while since I posted a photo of myself. The three piece you see came out of thrift store. The lime green denim skirt I picked up a ninety nine cent rack.
I thought I was limited to what tops would go with the skirt.  When I toss it in dirty close hamper and it landed on gold color top, which would go great with it.
Confession time...The skirt I won't be wearing it long. Plenty loose on me. So if I even loose three pounds it needs to go.
One thing I like on my hamburger is PARSLEY. I just won't talk about my 3rd quarter goals after July 2nd weigh in.

Start Up and Continue.

I decided to start up with FITDAY again. The reason I quite reucording what I ate and such,  because of time factor. I has busy though the day and had no time to record or trying to remember what I ate. Statement time..sitting on a computer doesn't burn calories. And my hubby and I use the same lap top.
Well I have a smart phone and I can do fitday from my phone.

There all sort of theory out there on calories and the intake. I found this site called CALORIE NET. It helps one figure the calorie one needs.
I figure we need 10 to 20 calories per pound. It depends on a few things what a person needs to meet there health goal.
Depends on what I weigh in at T.O.P.S tomorrow I will set my calorie intake I believe it should between 2,060 and 2,310.
Statement time...I feel it important to get good nutrition in your calorie range.

Yesterday my youngest came up with his family. We hiked up to Myrtle creek falls, it one of easier hikes with slight incline.

The oldest grand daughter liked tossing rocks off the bridge.

I been on a lot harder hike and been a lot more sore. But still it shows what kind of shape I truly in.

At work and so forth I was little more mindful on steps. So when every possible I did a little bit more movement. So I won't stove up.

But I had every intention for purchasing food, well I got food, but I forgot the non food items.

Get Ready To Get In The Political Arena

Our first democrat debate will be two nights of debates. A large field of contenders is trying to get NOMINATION for democrat party.
Now for some good ole trivia and tid bits about politics and those who ran for office.

1. Here is qualification for our PRESIDENT President Franklin Roosevelt had more then TWO TERMS

2. When it come to underhand statements, even when founding fathers ran for office. Dirty politics was well in fashion...Adams camp accuse Jefferson of racial heritage his mother was Indian squaw and his dad was mulatto. And also was toss in ring that he has atheist and a LIBERTINE. Editor note...had to look up libertine. 

3. There 6 woman and 17 men running the democrat party. And there two men running for Republican party. Editor note..#14 is the two candidates for Republican party.
We all think of Hillary Clinton as first female to run for president. But there was VICTORIA WOODHAUL and ran under the EQUAL RIGHT PARTY

4. Youngest candidate to every run for president was WILLIAM JENNING BRYAN and the oldest who every ran MIKE GRAVEL
as for 2020 run off for youngest is Butigreg and Gabbard. Although not quite sure if Gravel is candidate or not, If not then it Sanders as oldest.
The average age of the candidates in 60.

5. There other political party although not well known but we start with FEDERALIST PARTY and ANTI FEDERALIST PARTY was our first two political party. The two newest party that I could come up with were the AMERICAN SOLIDARITY PARTY and JUSTICE PARTY

6. Our first President had four people on his cabinet. A Secretary of State, Secretary of Justice, Secretary of War, and Attorney General.
John Adams are second president add one more cabinet a Secretary of Navy. Right now if I count there is 19 cabinet members. Plus you can add vice president for cabinet position.

7. This time only three of candidates serve in the Military. 26 of our past president have serviced in Military.

8. Looks like only 2 has not served as elected official and the rest have, in 2020

9.First election was probably ANCIENT GREEK

10. I see quite a few countries have there election on SUNDAY here in United States there on Tuesday.

11. Trumps campaign slogan "Make America Great Again" James Polk campaign slogan was 50-40 or fight.
Pour it on Harry. But here two more slogans from candidates who didn't make to white house.. "The Hero of Many Battles, WINFIELD SCOTT and the other one was First In War First in Peace.
One of the newer ones "Taking over the government to leave everyone alone" Some of the slogan for 2020.


12. Who top dog with social media. Depends what one looks for in winner. DATA SCIENCE could have some interesting facts from different social media accounts. There some interesting tid bits of what CANIDATES may be saying. 
Over at Trumps TWITTER ARCHIVES in tweet in last 883 days he uses the term FAKE NEWS 473 times and one more term FOOL 83 times.
And some numbers of SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS of candidates.

13. there 34 seats up for senate, and for house 435 seats are up, which all of them. Then there some gubernatorial races which are 11 of them.

14. To be fair there two candidates on the Republican ticket DONALD TRUMP and BILL WELD 

15. From the Urban dictionary DEMOCRAT and REPUBLICAN

Editor Note...This wasn't all that easy and would of liked a little more tid bits and such. American politics can have more drama then a soap opera.
Question time...What interesting about election in your area, past or present?

Changes and I Need To Occur

Didn't increase my walk. And usual on Saturday I increase my distance. But I was little short on days I walk. I like to walk five days a week, and Tuesday and Sunday is my days off from walking.
But for some reason I haven't drop any weight this year, and struggle keeping what I lost last year.
My guess what I am doing wrong in order...not enough water, portion size, and movement. They all need to increase except the portions.

The PUBLIC LIBRARY has changed over the years. PETERBOROUGH LIBRARY was our first public library in United States, paid with tax dollars.
But it when someone mention word library one would think of a place "books" but there is THIRTY EIGHT different types of libraries.

Our community has a wonderful little LIBRARY and in 2017 was reward "Best Small Library"

Yesterday Regis and I went and start to learn about the FAB LAB. We learned about the AFINIA H480 3D printer and Regis made a little chair for one of his figurines. 

Then each of us got to use the EPILOG 24 Laser Cutter.


And here the piece I did. Husband want me to make a plaque with our house numbers on it.

So Here some of what one might consider MAJOR CHANGES. Question time...What needs to be changed in world?

Wednesday Pop Up Number Forty.

The flood water haven't recede much in past few weeks and local country people couldn't get there heard animals out to higher ground to graze. 
But some of locals and economic had been resistance growth for some decade or even century. 
The town had the industries for many generation and change didn't come easily to the town.

But a few seen a possible opportunity of water farming of some type. Not sure fish or sea weed. But there were a lot of question to be answer.
The high water was only temporary and how to keep the water refreshed and enough oxygenated was the biggest problem. And next two was getting the local heard animals in high grounds to graze and what to harvest out of the water.

Peter and Joe knew that Nicholas was from Switzerland and his family were fresh water farmer. They called him and ask if they could stop by a pick his brain about fresh water farming.  

They got hold of Nicholas but he was going to be visit the next little while and figured in a week or so. That he would give the two a call when his painting project was done he want to paint his bathroom and trim around the windows of his home.

But now the other problem was how to get the heard animals across the water. So they start to look on internet for environmental engineers with knowledge in civil engineering. 
So they contact a few and now they were waiting for response.

Usual Words for Wednesday is list of words that one builds a story from. But this time we had choice of two photos. For more wonderful stories please go over to ELEPHANT CHILD
1.  If you have ever followed the Garfield comic strip, you know Garfield loves lasagna.  What is your favorite Italian food?  Do you over-indulge when it comes to pasta? ...I use to be a lasagna lover or any Italian food mostly manicotti. And now as I got older I have horrible time with dairy. And most of Italian food has cheese. 

2.  Tell us about your very first pet.  If you have never had a pet, can you tell us about an animal that touched your life in some way? Our first dog was a beagle and we got him when I was about seven and his name was spot. We had him for years and got hit by a car. I believe I was about fifteen.

3.  Garfield sleeps his day away, only waking to eat or sweet talk his girlfriend Arleen.  How many hours sleep do you normally get each night?  How much sleep do you really need?...My sleep routine is routine. I try to get off the techie stuff a lease an hour before I go to bed. I need my brain to un-wire, well that what I call it. I go to bed around ten and get up between 5 and 7 in morning. I am a morning person.


4.  Garfield lets the mice in the house have their way.  When was the last time you had to chase out a little varmint?...If you want to know something that freaks me out in small rodents. I know I should be happy or lease Thankful when catch them. Even empty mouse trap gives be the heebie Jeebies.
But actual I don't mind the large rodents and that could be guinea pigs or larger. 

5.  Garfield also loves his teddy bear Pooky. Did you have a favorite stuffed animal when you were young (or now!)?  If you didn't or don't, what about someone you know? I name all my stuff animals when I was young I had a monkey I name Chatters. Or the truth be known someone else name his because I got him for my first Christmas.
My Grandparents had a box of toys for us grand kids and for some reason I love this smokey bear and he had his forest service uniform on. I would guess he was from the forties. I was known as a little cousin. I was there 24th grand child out of 28th.


6.  Please tell us something about your week, so far! Nothing exciting and I also say my life uneventful and which I am quite grateful. Nothing wrong with dull.
Let see I been doing my walks and chores here and there. Plus my locker hook with fabric and I would estimate I am just half way done. And I figure out my next sketch book projects. 

Stop in by Teri our host to see what OTHER HAVE TO SAY

Start and Finish and Beyond

Before I counted my steps last night. I walk around the place six time. But on Saturday I increase my morning walks. Use the power line poles for measurement of distance. Increase it each week by two. So now I am up to five poles, 1,962 steps that round trip on walk this morning. Thought it would be a lot more.
But Sunday and Tuesday I usual don't do full walk and some time not at all.

Got my glasses in mail. Mid forties to early fifties I start to wear reading glasses. I now need glasses for distance. Getting use to them is a little strange.

Did some two loads of whites and wash some fabric. And you heard right, I did say "fabric" Then also did loud of dishes. a little trimming around place of taller grass.

Thinking of up coming week and rest of the day.

Beautiful and Creative Pop Up Number Twenty Nine.


Still working on my sketch book for my Brooklyn Art Library. And this page is my version of Aries in Pluto. Last time Pluto was in Aries was from 1822 to 1853. Next time Aries will be in Pluto will be in 2068 til 2098.
None of us was live in it first went though Pluto and next time around non of us will be a live.
To me this is a powerful position but also controlling.  For us in America SLAVERY in America. If you notice I cut a piece out of something that make us human. To un-humanize. But controlling to much one could possible get all tangle up.
But also in this time period was rapid economical and territorial expansion.
Quite a few moments was started during this time period.
I am posting this as part of PAINT PARTY FRIDAY



I was up a little before 5AM to start the coffee and laid back down and got up at 5 to watch the sun come up over the eastern mountains of CABINET MOUNTAIN range. The last few days it been sunny and little on warm side.
So usual in last few days I been getting my walk in before 7AM. I

For What Every It Worth.

I got home later in day and didn't have time to visit many blogs yesterday. I have no real set pattern of blogs I may read. But I try to make a point to stop by a few new blogs.
Do you recall when e mail is all the rage and my space also. I never did "my space" It seem for me dealing with e mail is mainly junk. I went though and most of today e mail I just deleted.
Then I been going though my photos on lap top and between each photo there like a blank piece of paper. For me that the best way of explain it.
If there techie term I just don't know it.

I figured how to change my name on you tube. And I am still trying to get 100 subscribers. I have two ideals for up coming videos. But I need to do a little research before I do my next videos. I might as well leave my LINK to my channel.

Being off facebook has been a relief. At first part month I posted "Dora Witherell Vandenberg been spending WAY to much time here on facebook. I need to set some bounds of my time here. It effecting me in a negative way and basically other things are getting neglect. So for the month of June and remainder of May. The only activity I will be doing on facebook is my creativity groups and pagan groups, which will be less then one hour per day. So no other groups will be visited, no emoji, no post other then listed above, no sharing, no comment or replies. But not on a daily bases I will post over on my blog facebook page "having coffee with peppylady" and my personal creative page "nice and nifty stuff"
Start to wonder if facebook had me hooked in as boarder line personality. 
These here is my bounds and in July I will see where I am. Hope you will enjoy these two photos... 
Have I kept completely on track "No" but I been well satisfy on how well I been doing. 
There just to much drama there and I was getting caught up in. There a few things I step out of my bounds. Like yesterday or the day before my daughter in law posted this...Good morning friends & family. My name is Maude & I have a pacifier problem. It has been 36 seconds since I last had my pacifier. It all started when my parents gave me one at 5 days old and it was love at first suck. Since then they have continued to shove one in my face at every sign of noise inconvenience. Grocery shopping, airplanes, weddings, when I throw a fit at bedtime - I know how to get my beloved pacifier. I am now 10.5 months old and wake my parents up AT LEAST twice an hour to have a fit when I lose it in the middle of the night. So as of TODAY I am going cold turkey. Support & coffee for mum and dad is much appreciated.
And I thought it was cute and ended up liking it. 
As there thing I do like about facebook and when July rolls around and I need to set bounds on how much time I want to be on facebook.

I been getting in my morning walk before it get to hot. Plus a few other chores around the place. Took a few bags to the thrift store.

Remember I was telling you about the scrubs I been picking up. Started to make locker hook hot pot trivet. I am hoping to take part in an UNBOXING over at Banana Peppers. The next un boxing is something size of 8"by 12". (20cmX30cm) 

Maybe something I need to post on my blog is about maturity.

Wednesday Pop Up Number Thirty Nine


This time WEDNESDAY MELODY is sit up a little different but I'm glad to take part. Hopeful you enjoy reading my answer and others.
1.  Tell us about a time you made someone's life beautiful or someone made YOUR life beautiful...I try to do this on a daily thing, or a lease but some joy in ones life.

2.  Will you take on the challenge and smile more often on June 15th?  Why not start now!!  Have you been blessed by a smile that changed your day? Number one reason I live in North Idaho, don't matter were you go people will smile at you and or acknowledge you.

3.  Terri is a cancer survivor.  Cancer has touched most of us in one way or another.  When did someone reach out to you with an act of kindness or when did you last perform a random act of kindness for someone? Last Yule our pagan group made a yule and we place them around the community. I had fun and it brought me joy that possible someone life might be brighter

4.  Terri admits that this turned out to be not what she thought it would be.  Our country has come a long way in recognizing that people are people and our differences are what makes life beautiful, but we still have a long way to go, unfortunately.  Your thoughts? Terri hit the nail on head...we are all different and need embrace the difference. 


5.  Had to lighten it up a bit.  Terri is a total klutz in the kitchen.  Tell us about something klutzy that happened in your kitchen... by you or another!  Can you laugh about it now? As for Klutz stuff in kitchen. My knife skill are horrible, and I some time amaze I haven't chop off my finger.

6.  Share something about your week so far, if you would. Been getting in my walks. 

Found Wednesday Words over at ELEPHANT CHILD but like all ways I do have the time to tackle all words from both list. So this time I will be taking on the first set...sleeping, burnt, broken, undercover, swallows, and universe.

The wind came suddenly out of the East like no others, and all window was broken in small town of Warner and what even stranger that the barn swallows haven't return in last three years. The spring and summer season seem to be last slightly longer. Even the department of Agricultural moved Warner from 5A to a 6B it simple means no real new crops but a large choice of certain veggies and berries.

But not sure what main government agency was investigating the peculiar events been going on. They try to blend in, so they would be undercover. But no one hardly wore fringe on clothes. 
But the people didn't care. They know they need these strange happening to stop. 

So even the people in fringe clothing went to wise medicine woman and see if there were any legend of strange things happen in this part of universe.

It was said if Contoocook river went over the three rocks shape like a document folder on a month were a blue moon. That strange things was to happen with in the decade.
And a few blue moons had came and went. 

The wise medicine woman said every one had to be on south side of there property and do a smudging 10 minutes after the sun went down and the smudge fire had to be dragon blood, some resin from a oak tree between 5 and 10 feet tall, and one inch of hair from the youngest child in each family.
Light this and don't put out fire. So all had make sure it would burn safely. Once the smudge fire was lite. The entire town chanted "Maha Maha and your love bless all of us and those who are around, Thank you Maha we love you" this was to be said three time and what held town should be lifted.


WORDLESS WEDNESDAY

Present and Counted For

Short blog, since I do what I call a pop up. Just like word better then meme. And I'm not sure if Wednesday Melody, Wordless Wednesday, and or Words For Wednesday would be considered a meme or not.

I was down a pound and half (.068kg) I need to keep going and should give  this week. my self a pat on back for keeping off the ten pounds I lost last year.


Yesterday I took Regis to Sandpoint to do a few Errands. One of our stop was dollar store. I'm looking for container 24'(61cm) square and the height can be 10'(25cm) to 12'(31cm) tall.
And the dollar store had one this size made of some type of textile, and no lid.

Slowly getting things sort and downsize. I find sitting a timer for 15 minutes and start going though or cleaning a area. Surprising how much one can get done.

Editor note...not sure if I have my metric terms or abbreviation for inches correct.

Yes I Do Have Prejudices

If I look deeper or even pointed out but I have two prejudices, that I put into certain little boxes.
First one is when a person uses the term "power" which comes from Latin word "potere" "To Be Able"
So terms or think like...Caucasian Power, Negro Power, Russian Power, Money Power, Liberal Power, Christian Power, Fiqh Power, Gun Power,  and list can go on and on.
Then the other one I hear when some one has the title of Rev in front of there name. Confession time...I then start wonder who they scammed. 
Did you know the word reverend comes from Latin word "revereri" "To Be Worthy Of Respect". Question time...shouldn't we all have "reverend" in front of our names? 
Just can't support these type of thoughts saying one group of people is so much superior then the anther. 

But I keep working and trying to make my self a better person both physical and spiritual. Let just take the physical part this time around.
Later on, although not sure when. But sometime I will tackle spiritual being.
I try not to eat after 7 in the evenings, and watch my portions. But I need to get more water and bought 30 oz water bottle which I haven't used yet.
Hot weather is arriving here either Wednesday or Thursday up in 80s (26) and I like to go for a walk. But usual I do this later in the day. So it will be best to do make walk in morning before it heats up.
Statement time...I don't need to be watching both morning and evening news. 

Weigh in at my local T.O.P.S in morning. And planning to do a you tube video hopeful in next few weeks.

If Your Wondering

First of each month I do a monthly report on how I am doing. Here is May REPORT and I was ask if I thought it was fairly accurate. The simple answer is some thing is and other not.
But I think we see our self different as other may see our self.
But what I find more interesting with PERSONALITY INSIGHT is the percentile they covers 28 things and I won't list them all but here short sample...trust, excitement, agreeableness, and self expression.
There things I score high in percentile range and others not. Confession time...I like to see the percentile in the 40 to 60 percent. 

I've only done a few ratings in different site such as google review, trip adviser, and I believe is zomato.
I was never good at reports and opinion is usual very bias of who giving it. Including my self. Yesterday I did one on the Goodwill in Ponderay, and only gave it a three star.
This is what I wrote... The thumbs up or down first. Do you want the good news first or the bad. I know the ones in back sorting the items, don't even get decent wage. Federal Minimum wage is $ 7.25 hour, although the clerk in front is paid over $10 and hour in the goodwill in Ponderay Idaho. So for how they treat employees I give a ONE. I know if there is question about one behavior they try to get people to sign a no trespassing agreement. Not sure if this is legal or not. This behavior I give it ONE. Up score a little now some of items I can cheaper at dollar store or some place else. But still can find some decent bargains. so for bargain I give a TWO, they should look at there price structure. Now what I like about good will and give it FIVE in these are the store have great selection, clean and organize. Goodwill is non profit and there CEO has salary of over 2 million a year. Goodwill takes in over 4 billion a year. And all from donations.

If your wondering about my ones score here interest read on WAGES OF DISABLED WORKER at Goodwill. I saw a sign in Goodwill about hiring checker and I know it was over $10 and hour plus they did offer some benefits, and there is other who made comment on the issue of TRESPASSING in goodwill and other is sue
Now for wages of C.E.O of goodwill and what there the annual REVENUE. And also this ARTICLE

Made sort of decision about my creative clutter. I known people who only work on one craft project at a time, but these people are rare birds.
But I have way to many going at one time. So I believe I will limited mine to about five. I need to purchase container of some type to put them in. It figuring out the size of containers.

Murphy is putting the post on corner of our property, and I mop the kitchen and dinning area. Confession time...I took out the entry rug by the kitchen door, it was wet and had a fowl smell. I sure hope it wasn't there when people came to visit me.
There were no smell until I pull the rug up so I could mop.

I was recently ask by one of my coffee pals why I confess in my blog. I see the paragraph above. I feel I need human touch to my blog. How I may feel about things.
Question time...what would you do different in your blog? I would positively keep open and honest post.
But I'm not sure if I would actual use term Confession time or Statement time. But I want to convey my personal opinion or feelings.
I do use confession time quite a bit. I think my goal will be to combine the term confession and statement to one term.

Not Sure When It Will End.


Got a few more items sorted. Last few days I sort out the scrub tops I picked up at the thrift stores. And even cut them into small and large squares, I should say rough cut squares.
Been going though Murphy and my closet got small loads ready to go to the thrift store. Notice there some fabrics that could go though in this small bedroom.
 few other things.


I bought two bundles of fabrics and these fabrics were sample package from such things as interior and or exterior ones. Then there also fabrics that one might use for light and heavy objects.
Most of pieces are 18 by 22 inches (.45 X .55) Confession time...Some of the piece I am not sure what to do with.

But also I picked up two more scrubs. All under $15.

The other day I was in the GOODWILL down behind Walmart in PONDERAY . Got some of items and now I can't find my sack of items.
Got a water bottle and I just help my self, fabric. I think one scrub. Didn't want to spend over $20. and stayed with in the price range.

Murphy and I went the farm store and got fence post to mark corner of property in hay field. So when the tractor comes by with the implement won't pull up the marker, and the tractor can freely get by.
We also got a small walk in.
Chicken stew for dinner tonight.

Today Is Wednesday, March 27, 2024: This Is What Happened.

  We got the plugs fixed in the pick-up, which cost us $261.09. The last time we did a set of plugs, it was under $80.00. But I'm glad i...
