Today Is Sunday, December 29, 2024: This Is What Happened.

 

I might as well make my January 2025 prediction. In general, January will have relatively few news events, or stories will be short-lived.(Self Portraits, the frame-1938-located at  Georges Pompidou Center, Paris, France)

Two guests from an adversary country will attend the inauguration. My hunch is Kim Jong Un and Viktor Orban. They will be on American soil for less than five days.

Deporting illegal aliens won't happen as Trump wishes. The legislative branch will be dampening his plan. Trump will get a big percentage (Over 75%) of his cabinet. Still, grumbling about the legislative branch. He will blame it on the deep state.

People will be staying closer to home. Not going out as much.

I can't figure out why I can't get the two ATC (artist trading cards). I went to visit Lolita. She worked in her art journal. I gave her some creative supplies. Hopefully, tomorrow, I can share what I did over at Lolita's place

(What the Water Gave Me-1938-location- Daniel Filipacchi Collection, Paris, France)

Last Friday, Murphy and I went to the senior center. For the food giveaway, I got some broccoli, which I like very much.(Portrait of Diego Rivera-1937-location Jacques and Natasha Gelman Collection, Mexico City, Mexico)

Murphy and I are watching the Munsters. I like the Munsters better than the Adams family. 

Today's art movement is Primitivism. Some would consider outside and brut art part of primitivism art. I'm sure there is a difference. Today, I will feature one of my favorite artists of today's art movement, FRIDA KAHLO.(Fruits of the Earth-1938-location-Banco de México Collection, Mexico City, Mexico)

Today Is Saturday, December 28, 2024: This Is What Happened

 

Last weekend of 2024: Hubby and I have been watching some old Alfred Hitchcock television shows. We just finished cleaning the dining room ceiling. I think on Monday, we will go and work on the dining room walls. (Shell- Year and place unknown)

Later, I will contact my friend Lolita and see if she wants to spend some time doing creative things. I plan to go up to Liz and do some chores around the place, like emptying Addie's litter box—as you can guess, Addie is her cat—and emptying the fridge. For some reason, she lost her power to her place

When she gets back, I will show and explain to her about bullet journal. But the choice is hers. (Shepherdesses spinning -Year and place unknown)

Last evening, Murphy and I made an upside-down pineapple cake. It was the first time I had ever made an upside-down cake.

In the next few days, I plan to post my prediction of January 2025.

IMPRESSIONISM. is today's art movement. The basic impressionist movement lasted about 20 years. Since it seems such a popular movement, I wanted to know if there are any current impressionist artists and who they are.

I'm featuring a few pieces of NICCOL CANNICCI. (In sight of San Gimignano-1891-location unknown.

New Year Eve 2021

 Good bye 2021. We all have opinion of what went on 2021. I'm sure in past they been years like this one. I never lived though pandemic. I hear of stories from the "Spanish Flu" But I recall inflation during Jimmy Carters year as President. I was then in my last years of high school. Than came Ronald Regan when first was out high school. 

Now let start prediction. Just going to do six.

1. Pandemic isn't going to be over in 2022.  It will mutate it self out by summer of 2023. 

2. Watch China. Internet security will be issue. China will loose a a good percentage of manufacturing. Computer and chips for United States. Possible a start of economic cold war between United States and China.  

3. A female around 40 years old will have some wonderful science discovery. That will benefit mankind. She we will win the Nobel Peace Prize. 

4. Build Back Better will past before end of February. But still will have major cuts to it. Because of this bill, about 6% of house of representatives will loose there seat. Anther words they will be between 23 and 29 new seats.  

5.Lot more going on locally in communities going on. Stayvaccations will be back in style. More local events will be happening. People because of inflation can not afford to travel.

6. Food stamps, social security, disability, S.S.I will get raise in July. About 3%. Plus help on energy assistant just one time. The energy assistant will be some place between $50 and $150. 

Today Is Sunday December 26 2021, This Is What Happen

 6 days to the new year. But in 5 days I'll do my 2022 prediction. It been a while since I done them. We all can get good laugh. We ended up staying home for Christmas. We got out to highway and head south and just right pass Elmira the roads came bad. So we turn around. Niece Quincy also didn't make because of bad road and they broke down. So we open a can of spaghetti, fried up some ground beef, add some black olives to the sauce. Oh and corn.

Question time...Does any one know who the artist is? I know it from surrealism era, 1915 to 1940's. I been thinking of my creative project for the new year. I can't see my self starting anything new in 2022. I got going is my food A.T.C (artist trading cards) or A.C.E.O (art cards editions original) Let see I got two other projects going my tarot cards and sketch book project for Brooklyn Sketch book library. 

It been a while since I touch my quilting and even tried to organize my fabrics. Just a short time ago my camera had issue with my mode dial on camera. It was stuck. Confession time...I thought of just leaving it stuck. They're was times I made a video of me going though the my fabric stash. But the main issue I had with video clips is time it takes to do them. A job takes up time.

Saturday January 1 2022. I have announcement 

Thought I should unwind my balls of fabrics. I did one and got some of the fabric stuck together. Not sure if I did some other that way. Plus I have blue, a non fabric that keeps fraying and I will take it out and not use it. 

Plus my declutter and organization project. Looks like no New year goal. Just same ones. Which includes be a better person.

It Sunday and last time I step back in look at comment of 2021. But I'm going to take random post, JUST A HINT in this post I claim to be procrastinor which is some what true. But I tend prolong project, which shouldn't take that long. I talk to my therapist about this issue. Main reason I do this is to protect my self from my mothers judgement. Hopefully tomorrow, since I got the day off. I can share with you all.

My first comment comes from YAM she wish me a blessed day for Christmas. I had a very peaceful Christmas. It didn't work out like we plan. But we didn't have wreak either. Thankful for that....My second comment came from BRAIN HOME his comment was "I'm sorry to hear your foot is hurting again, hopefully sometime off will be good for it. It's a great to have a food box." Foot is doing a lot better still some soreness. Not going back to work until Tuesday. But I'm little worried about when I return to work. I'm still going to have doctor look at, so I'll make appointment soon. Since I couldn't fil my assign hours. Paycheck was a lot less. Food box came in handy...My last comment is from HIGH RISER his comment was. "Shortest night of year here. Celebrating yourself and resilience is good. Electrical lights been around for well over a century and that is many generation of cats that evolutionary have learnt heat comes from the tree lights. Except now with LED lights, it no longer does but it will take a few generation to unlearn about Christmas tree lights. I know I will see more darkness than light. I'm just bit south of Canada, British Colombia. Also of Bonners Ferry 48* 41' 32' N 116* 19' 3' W. Won't see much of change in sunlight until 3 week in January.  Not sure about kitty Cat. But it seems like all of animals like Christmas tree much as I do. I recall larger Christmas lights, my parents had them. Plus ones you put on outside of your house. I have wonder how many places burn down when people use candles in trees, back in Victorian age.

Last of year, last of month, and last Sunday. Time to meet a new blogger. And I will be stopping over at FELO DE SE

Today Is Tuesday December 24, This Is What Happen

After yesterday post I thought of art of different generation or era. I would like to try my hand at some different peroid art and craft. Plus maybe some time peroid fashion.

All pack and ready to go to Oregon. I will be back on the 30th of January. So maybe I will make some off wall prediction for up coming year when get back. Confession time...I will try to stay way from what I hope actual happen in 2020

First part year and early part January plan to do you tube video and share what I got for Christmas.

Enjoy Christmas eve and some place in world it already Christmas.

Coffee is on

Up or Down and Maybe Top or Bottom.

Some time the simple things in life can be the hardest to decided. I was having a issue where to start the mouth lynching of our President Trump and where he leading our country. Confession time...I sure hope he develops into a strong leader and all benefits everyone

Since I start with Trump I will continue with Trump. And last paragraph I will give a brief daily happen in my life today.

I have to question who actual is our leader Trump or Putin. Well if you google something like “Is Puttin Controlling Trump”

Well we sure made and impression on the rest of the world when he went over sea. And he left Russia come on down though Europe because how he disrespected Nato

NATO  and the UN is a necessary part of our defense. Option time....The United state military is to boast big corporate business.

Take a look DEFENCE CONTRACTORS to the tune of 603 Billion dollars. And most who serve as foot soldiers or CANNON FODDER  I'm amaze when people say “The south will raise again” and slavery will return. I got news for those who thinks and believe this.

Those who serve volunteer or got draft as CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS wasn't much above a slave. Most white people didn't own SLAVE(S) in our southeast states.

Prediction time...With Trump as a commander in chief. He doesn't care about the lower economic class. The upper 3% and if he start a military conflict some place in world. His pocket will be greatly with wealth.

He only care if he benefits. The guy has no empathy toward the poor so they can be cannon fodder.

TRUMP BUDGET cut is something else. Those who need service is getting cut like SNAP. Statement time...At this time at work my client Regis use a snap (food) stamps card to help him purchase food. But I look at his food list and not one thing on it was nutritional....Opinion time...some thing need to be done letting people who uses a food card just purchase sweets, and I'm surprise diabetic s aren't more ramped in our country.

SNAP stands for Supplement Nutritional Assistant Program. See he doesn't care for those who vote for him.

The guy has no empathy and only see him self as great.

Question time...What is the pro and con of your medical program? I thought it would be great to have a one payer system by expanding our MEDICARE to all.

OPINION TIME....I don't see anything wrong with paying up to 3% of your gross income for your health. So those who have the income want to purchase private insurance is welcome to.

I use the affordable care act and its benefits to help me purchase health insurance. Right now I pay about 6% of my income to purchase health insurance. But if it wasn't for Obama care I would be paying about 45% of my income for my health insurance.

He wants to repeal and replace the affordable care act.

What an idiot he have in the white house now.

There this site called REDOUBT NEWS and they recorder the going on in Bonners Ferry memorial activities.

Opinion time...Most of these people are just plan stupid and vote for Trump. Most who I meant and know that vote for Trump is on the government cheese, and I will be first to say we need our government cheese program and part of the spending should be on getting those off who and bringing up the living standards so they could have some pride.

But I love there ideal of new COUNTRYand they're is people who get a check from the government and it doesn't matter which department.

But there place we can't live and DRAW our government benefits.

Statement time...Let me get out of Northern Idaho before this idiot country comes about and see how they may or not get there benefits. It would serve them right for voting for President Trump.

Any how there not going to succeed from the union. They need they government cheese.

Work was easy. Before I went my son Sawyer called and there doing fine. It been in the mid 90 (35) I guess Betty might be going to Hawaii in June with a friend.

Sawyer is airplane mechanic and is now going to try and get his aircraft inspection license, and he has to take the test in PORTLAND OREGON But he needs to get approve to take the test.

I'm got the locker rock done except the outside rim. Actual that takes a little time doing that part. I figure what the rug canvas cost me, 2¢ a square inch ( 2.5)

Please keep Bart in your your thoughts, and Ms Daisy fund raiser is still going on. It on the right hand side of blog “Daisy Teeth Cleaning”

I got a morning walk in and a chance to cut some of the grass out of what I call my "Royal Sunshine Flower Bed"

2016 Under The Bridge Almost.

We're one of tail end to celebrate watching the new year coming in. The time zone I'm in is called Pacific time zone.

This year been some what interesting. Some ups and downs. Since the election of President Trump here in United States and both of the house in Republican hands.

Things might be interesting....Confession time...I'm a little worry with our up coming President...and wish we weren't as powerful as nation.

Not saying I want us to fail as a country.

Since I had the day off and had chance to toss Daisy ball a little more often today.

She still wearing her hood. She going into the vet to have her bump taken off Wednesday. Not sure of the cost but I might have to take some out of GO FUND ME ACCOUNT Remember I match all donation.

She likes playing with her new Christmas Toy. The Cat in the hat.

Rest of the fur balls are doing fine. Ziggy and Abner.

Couple load of clothing and also wash part the fur babies bedding.

Murphy and I did a little work on the roof. I held the latter as he made dike for water to run down. There two area on roof that cause ice jams.

Yesterday I went to our pagan general meeting. We try to celebrate all the SABBATS Once month we try to meet at one local coffee shop or bars for bull shit section.

But if the snow holds we're looking at having a sledding party I believe around mid month. With chili and stew. I said we would furnish the corn bread.

And also with bon fire and all the things go with a bond fire.

Went to our local Library and checked out a book by Charles Dickens. PICKWICK PAPERS Confession time...The story (Christmas Carol) of reform miser has more meaning to me then the birth of babe manger.

If you recall that Ebeneezer Scrooge kept the meaning of Christmas all year...”Scrooge was better than his word. He did it all, and infinitely more; and to Tiny Tim, who did not die, he was a second father. He became as good a friend, as good a master, and as good a man, as the good old city knew, or any other good old city, town, or borough, in the good old world. Some people laughed to see the alteration in him, but he let them laugh, and little heeded them; for he was wise enough to know that nothing ever happened on this globe, for good, at which some people did not have their fill of laughter in the outset; and knowing that such as these would be blind anyway, he thought it quite as well that they should wrinkle up their eyes in grins, as have the malady in less attractive forms. His own heart laughed: and that was quite enough for him.”

Today my anxiety been fairly mellow. But I notice when my anxiety raises it ugly self. My eating gets out of control.

I will stuff my stuff my mouth of food and it seem the anxiety part of my brain calms down.

I need to find something I can do when I feel high strung.

My mom side seem to be this way...If you every watch them they have to be busy doing something.

Most of them never sit.

Since it New Year Eve Murphy got a little Lobster tail to nibble on

No New Year Resolution for me in 2017. Hopeful I can keep moving forward on 2016 goals. Like having a yard sale this up coming year.

Now for my three prediction for the up coming 2017... . In March most people will have slight increase in there utilities....There going to be some type of housing change for the good....There will be less things tossed out. Question time...What are some of your prediction for 2017?

Some one told me Shit will happen this up coming year.

I totally forgot to do my prediction for 2010. I was briefly looking back to my prediction in the other years. I think or I better way of saying it “I flunk out”

Now looking back at years past .

So if one wants to take a look at my past prediction

09 07 and 06

I would have to say I got two right in 07 #3 and #6. honest time...totally clueless on how I really did.

I'm not even sure what word I would use for my own out look for 2011. Confession time..I'm total clueless what or need to do for 2011.

Let face facts I could make a list of needs and wants.

This may seem strange and I don't even have a total reason why. But if I set a timer let say 30 minutes and set goal to work in certain area. I accomplish more.

Some good example would be

Set the timer for 20 minute and go though the 3 drawer container. First get rid of any paper that isn't needed, clean off paper on top place proper spot, and etc......etc.....etc

Set timer for 20 Minute remove everything from the hutch dust the entire hutch but before that take nick nack to kitchen sink and wash nick nack place in drainer. As the stuff is drying one can actual do a deep dusting.

Set timer for 5 Minute. Sweep steps to the basement.

I'm total clueless why I feel like I get more done this way.

I should strongly consider setting a timer more often.

Peppylady perdiction for 09

I didn’t do any prediction for 08 but here a link to some of my past prediction. O7 and 06

I Voted

Early in the morning both Murphy and I went down to cast a ballot at Naples School.
It real important to vote it just gets me all out of shape when people don’t vote and thinks they have right to flab their gums

For President I voted for Cynthia Mckinny and Rosa Clemete. I only once voted for a main candidate. Opinion time…I have a real hang up on the two party system
For Senator for me it will be Larry LaRocco.
Reprehensive for me it will be Walt Ninnick.
State Senator for me it will be Shawn Keough (One just running)
State Reprehensive (position A) Steve Elgar
State Reprehensive (position B) Tom Hollingsworth
County Commissioner (dist one) Jerry Pavia
County Commissioner (dist two) John O’Conner
County Sheriff Greg Sprungl
Prosecuting Attorney Jack Douglas (One just running)

We have two issue that I’ll be voting on and I’ll be voting “yes” on both.
One is two add our fire department on the property tax roll.
The other is add $1.00 to our phone bill to help pay for our new 911 system

Now it time for me to make some prediction on the election of 08 my ballot is place in lock box at the Naples School.
Well I believe McCain will get about 100 Electoral votes and Idaho being one of them but he isn’t going to do as well as Dubya did here.
In four years on our next presidential bid their will be more states in play.

Today topic in soul coaching is Clutter This something I real don’t want in my life but some how it shows it ugly self both in the physical and non physical.
Let me say a few words about the physical world of clutter in my life. I’ll have good intension to do a project the most resent one I did was our bedroom closet. Well I got everything out and got rid of the stuff I real didn’t need and it went to the thrift store or to the trash.
Sort out and semi organized and having gone back simple because I don’t have the tools I need to organize what I believe it should look like, so I become frustrated.

This morning an ideal pop into my mind and how it got their on the lord knows. Well I start going to a spiritual group called “common thread” and it was brought up to be more involved in serving the community.
They don’t pass around the collection box but they like each of us to bring a can of food to donate to our local food bank and you can bring other items also to be donate like I know at this time winter clothing.

Well I thought of doing a community meal and my ideal have the different church each week to put a meal out.
I don’t know how this will fly or even if I’ll act on it. I thought of going and talking to ministerial association (group of local minsters) here and bringing up my ideal about the community kitchen but here is my fear being rejected.
The reason is when the Gardenia people went and to meet with the Bonner County ministers they wasn’t welcome mainly their not a Christian Church they are people who goes there of Christian faith and shortly after that vandalism was done to there building and threats were made.
I’m worried about the same thing happening here.

See I feel it would be nice to the community to put on a hot meal once a week and have the local churches do it by rotating though out the churches

But before that I thought of asking the people of the common thread to help a family out during the holiday.
When Bart was a cub scout did sponsor a family and went out to buy present for that family the only thing is to have it balance.
I thought the people who attends the “common thread” doing something like we did in Bart cub.

Today One Of My Job Is To Vote.

On Tuesday Skittles host a thing called Heads or Tails and this week flip of the coin is Tails and the theme is Tell about a job you have or had Next week topic is Royal.

I was going to post about a job I wish I were doing.
But I decided to post what I thinking it a very important job am to vote in our election we have in United States.
Today is Idaho primaries and I feel it everyone duty to go a vote.
As how well I’ll pick any winners in Idaho. Honest time…I real don’t have high hopes in picking in winners
Idaho is very conservative republican state and for primary one will have to vote straight ticket and what I do I try to find the most liberal republican I can fine.
Not many of them get elected here in Idaho.

Prediction time…Those who vote in Idaho democrat in primaries Obama will get 3 votes to Clinton 1. Then in the General election McCain if he runs against Obama he will get 92% of vote.
But if it Clinton McCain will get 95% against Clinton
Now if we increase our war effort in the Middle East who knows how the general election will turn out but at this time I stand with my prediction

This, That, and I Don't Know it All

I want to do Heads or Tail this time around. I had what I thought would be the prefect theme special memories” but it just didn’t go.
I was going to take a picture of the place were Murphy told me that he loved me.
Bart ended taking the camera to school for some project in speech.

Plus at work Donna found a husky type of dog and her and I try to find it owner and it was in good shape and well taken care of.
She asked me to take it back to the fairground, which is basically our local playground, lot of children there.
It was such a nice dog hopeful a nice family finds it.
I know taking it the pound we both didn’t think it had much of a chance.
Plus our local animal adoption is very small here.

Bart and I was talking this evening how people would vote the presidential election in Idaho.
Statement time…Lot of people here vote rich and lives poor
This is what I told Bart what I’m guessing the out coming in Idaho will be…
McCain 90% to Obama 10%
McCain95% to Clinton 5%
And when Dubya he got 98% of the votes the highest percentage in the union.
Prediction time…the democrat candidate will become our next president of the United States
