Not Big On Thinkig

First off all I want to tell you about the drawing part of Samhain Siren  Ms Lilly is giving away a $35.00 gift certificate to her shop Boline Apothecary.

For my shelf one thing I would be interest in trying is her “bug spray'. Any time I get near deet in bug spray I usual become asthmatic. But for the fun of it I would get some of her body work.

Today over at Samhain Siren they have feature on plants and a lot more...”Oh My”

 

Yesterday Evening I was out in our back yard throwing Daisy Ball. Well I heard this searching noise. Then I saw this big owl land on top of red fir South East corner of our place .

 

This morning before I drove Quenella to make sure her dentures fit. Cast up some ceramics molds; 9 ornaments and this will be it for casting ornaments, What every I get is what I get.

Poured up a watering can.

The pieces I just clean I got them loaded in kiln.

 Finely got one of my Little Witches list for sale on esty. I been looking about building my self a store. But I see it will take a little bit of brain power. Not sure when I'll get to it but hope not in distant future.

Banging My Against A Soft Rock

Yesterday I was visit by this blogger and she ask me this....what do you plan on doing with them? ...She talking about the greenware I just clean. After there fired in kiln I”ll either do two things; give them away or try to sell them.

 

Now for the event over at Samhain Siren First of all; few times I bump into Saga Cottage  Confession time...I don't know why she isn't part of my 'coffee pal” list.

       Ms Saga has an etsy page that she sell her wares. First of all though samhain siren she is offering “9x11 1/2" hand-painted wood familiar plaque”

 

For some reason I like her painting called Hecate  Goddess of Witchcraft.

Every week also there is a tune from a past artist and today is Buddy Holly.

 

When I was younger my mom purchase a pair of gloves from JJ Newberry and they were ineffective. Return them still clip together. Had a receipt but the lady wouldn't take them back and said she been wearing them. At that time my parents had a 1957 GMC pick up with a standard transmission. So my mom ask the clerk “how in the hell can I drive a standard transmission with these glove” From then on my mother never did business with”Newberries”. Well I don't think those glove cost over three bucks but no one was gong to push my mom around. I know one time some clerk didn't give back the correct change and I thought there was going to be a major stand off at the store. Confession time....couldn't believe. my mothers behavior just want to crawl under something, it usual was for little chunk change

Thank who every if was any large amount she would have had knock out drag out fight.

 

The other day Murphy and I went into Safeway to pick up a few items and use our Just For U 

electron coupons on a few items. For some reason the discounts never came off. So I went over to customer service and had them fix the mistake. I know the clerk and one other customer was annoyed with me.

It was only $2.20 and I remember being annoyed at mother doing the same thing. I got the $2.20 back and put the change in can. There collect money to build some new play ground equipment..

I haven't complete figure how to use the photo program on window 8. So at time I feel like pulling out my hair.

Picked Out Some But Had To Toss A Few

Head over to samhain siren and see what today fun is being offerd. There offing a book called “Summer Hallow” which is written by Samantha Curtain

All sort fun is over at Samhain Siren...”oh my”

 

The last set of ornament molds I end up soaking them in some hot water. So I could clean out the stuck on clay.

I went into our basement and pick 9 ornament at random to cast. But I'll put up a few extra molds also to cast along with the ornaments.

 

I went into the garage/shop and got some greenware to clean. Out of this pile I had to toss out of a few items. Actual the piece will be recycle back though.

Weigh in this morning and I was down 1 and ¼ pounds. The next three weigh in I would like to have a lost. During the holidays I'm just like to hold my own.

Not Wearing Cement Shoes

Of crouse they always may be a method for my crazyness. But I'm not sure what it is. Actual I could care less.

It look like samhaim sirens is having a pretty nice give away some earings. One need to travel over to A Witch By Anthor Name like her page and what you like. Let see now what would I like tree chalice.  I notice there a link to a blog called Rue and Hyssop. Briefly she mention a little bit on her post with Samhain Siren....While you are light-proofing your sleeping chamber, why not dial down the electric light overall in the evenings?  Being that this is one of the most enchanting times of the year, perhaps candlelight or a lovely fire in the hearth would not only wean your eyes off the florescent overhead glow, but lend a certain atmosphere to this bewitching month.  How about spending some outside beside a bonfire or simply stargazing (there are six meteor showers between October 7th and December 14th this year!)  I keep hearing about all sort of metor shower but haven't found any concert infomatin on them yet.

This is the first day I actual felt human. Still some what congested but not as bad. Went to work. Still waiting for to be approve for more hours since Carrie broke her foot. At this rate her foot will be complete healed.  If I gave the company (Medicaid) any of my time extra. They would expect it for free. That just not going to happen. So I put in my reguired hours. A lease her hubby is there to help her out.

My friend Alice client Candy is in a nursing home she had a case of congested heart failuier. Alice figure she will be in nursing home for months.  I've filled in out at Joel and Candy what a zoo. Sure glad I don't have them as a study client.  It look like she will loose about $850 a month of income. For some reason she has three pay day loan out. Don't ask me what for. But everyone I knew who takes out pay day loan ends up in a mess. Last year Alice made $40,000 but her taxable income was $20,000.

Still pulling a few things out of the garden

Morning Coffee Is Done

Last few days been quite pleasant. Right now Hubby and I just finish painting the frames around both of our doors and doing some minor chalking also. This will be it for painting this year. Actual the only place we need to use brown is under the eves on the west side of the place. But it can wait til next year. Also we been doing a little chalking to help save on energy. Actual this place is pretty well insulated.

Our steps tend to get slipper when it becomes wet. So Murphy took some sandpaper from the belt sander, used. Staples them down. Might not look classy but it serve it propose.

The other day we had a killing frost. Lost all of our tomatoes. Ready for garden season to end. We're starting to have a pretty fall but still decent weather. One yet don't need to put on a jacket. I been using a stocking cap for some reason my ears been bothering me. It might look funky but I don't give a "rats ass" but I don't like earaches.

I thought I would been done casting up Christmas Ornaments. The last batch of clay (slip) I mixed up was on the thin side. So here is the last three pieces I just finish paint up, three witches. But mainly I need to get the next shelf in the small kiln filled with greenware so I can fire it.

Coffee is on.

Land Of Blitz

For the month of October I been taking part in the Ultimate Blog Challenge and part of you visit the two blogs before yours and leave a comment. I receive this message though UBC  which didn't bother me. Statement time...One can do what every they want on there blogs. But it does give me an ideal about people not keeping up on current events and living a life of La La Land

 Hi Peppylady I wanted to let You know that I didn't comment on your blog post because I was confused and didn't really understand what you were talking about (I don't watch the news or follow political like topics) so I opted to not comment. Just wanted you to know.

For those don't know the United States Government is shut down. I know there a few government agency is shut down around here. So far it hasn't effect me or anyone I know, very much.

Lina who lived in area as long as I can recall. All the time I knew of her walking around with blissful look on her face. Not even sure if she was educated much at all. Recently what I heard from LaWalla; Lina called the IRS thinking they were the same as Social Security department, demanding her SSI money. My friend LaWalla takes out food for her and her cat. Tried explain to her the different between the IRS and Social Security is. But she couldn't comprehend it all. Anyone who been here for any length of time known that her ex husband would beat her so bad that she would require medical treatment.  She isn't the only person I saw who was not aware what was going on in the world.

Last time I went to the gardenia center and woman who did the sermon was to adventure out. But she also didn't listen to any sort of news. Was total unaware of such things as poor people, racial issues, and so forth. Actual she couldn't relate to what is "every day blue collar worker" She is a trust fund child. I recall her speaking of taking hiatus from life of easiness. So she could put out her book on Sandpoint actual she did put on a nice book would look nice on a coffee table.

Opinion time...Choosing or not choosing. Living in life of unaware of what is going around you.  I can see world of trouble.


Actual both of these ladies have a kind heart.

Over at samhain sirens there a cool craft for making a scary face. Plus there giving  away the scary face and I could see using this techie for Yule.

Wasn't Going To

I had complete thought what I was going to blog but since I left my camera in my friend Quenella rig. So I'll be blogging about what every I feel like.

I was briefly looking under my state (Idaho) for the "affordable Care Act" I notice the state is offering "Premium Assistance" what I under stand....."can reduce how much you have to pay are available to eligible individuals and families". I know most red state didn't expand there medicaid program. Opinion time....I would like to see a "one payer system"  I don't believe there a free lunch in life but one don't need to gouge ones pocket book. Since I got the crud I'll look into my state how there handling there affordable care act. At a later date since I got til the end of the year

Over  at samhain sirens. There a give away for a lady little hand bag; though creations by rlc . I have to say I like her  turtle bracelet.                                                                                                                                             

 For the weekend they have a craft project. An apple pie recipe also. Some more stuff but I'm not going to post about.

Last time I was in Spokane I got a box for $8.00. Yesterday Murphy went out on our property on the North Bench and picked some apples off of our Spokane tree. 
The Spokane Apples sure would be a good pie or something like that. Maybe we'll get chance to make up some applesauce

It Seem A Little Strange

Nothing really change in our life because of the so called government shut down. Confession time...It does seem strange to me have our government cut back. I know our game reserve is close. It would be fairly easy to take a walk down one of there trails...just step over the rope.
I see some people are saying....There not signing up for Affordable Care Act (Obama Care) I'm wondering if there going to sign up for there social security when they become old or disable. Or any other program when they need it.  Think about it if you complain about the affordable Care Act how many socialism program you use every day. 

I haven't post a picture of my mabon alter. Not much for sign of summer around here. Majority of our tree still have there leaves. Mainly Murphy been cleaning out garden. I'm so ready to take a break from summer activity.

Yesterday I had a new guest who stop in and ask me "How do you like TOPS?"...I like T.O.P.S for simple reason there program is that it works with everyday people. If you live in reality most people can benefit from T.O.P.S.

I should mention about two give away over at Samhain Sirens. I have to say this little Witch wall hanging is cute. Which is done by Ms J. I forgot to mention about the other wall hangings.

But it looks like Loren is giving away some cards but she also has an esty page which one can view her crafts

Other great things to view over at samhain sirens even those who are Frank Sinatra fans

Ten Times Three Then Add One More

So far I like broadband. When we had dial up one would wait and wait to go any place on the net.

Carrie a client I take care of broke her left foot some how.  I know I won't get straight answer how she did break her foot. This is what Carrie been claiming what happen "I just gave old Hershel a good ole kick and see what happen" But her hubby tells me "she got out of hand and had to take matter into my own hand".  Monday evening or Tuesday morning some nurse will be coming to there home and should be giving them more hours. Not sure how long the additional hours will be one week or up to six weeks. Her regular re cert is in December. One thing I hope they don't tell the nurse what I list above. I notice government employees or sponsor ones who tends be by the book usual have no sense of humor.

October is a big month for pagans and once again there a party over at this blog all sort of "oh My fun" recopies, give aways, and lot more.



This morning I went and weigh in at my weekly T.O.P.S meeting. This time I weigh in at a maintain. But I and anther lady spilt the basket. The one who loose the most weight in a 30 day period ends up receiving a fruit/veggie basket. Those who forget to bring in some fruit or veggies usual throw in some cash. Statement time...I would like to drop a few more pounds though the month of October and for the holidays just hold my own.

One More Day

October is a busy month for blog world. Actual I miss being part of the blog world. I believe I found a way to get some photo up on my blog. Confession time....I'm not thrilled having to put my pictures up on my desk top (screen) to get my picture post. I just need to figure out how to post photo not sending it to desk top (screen)




I hope a few of you join in or let other know about the Ultimate Blog Challenge. One can travel via blogphere or facebook


Last year 2013 I took part in samhain sirens and going to this year.

Since we finish what we need to on place do to the painting project.  Sat in open molds on my pour table is 7 ornaments.  After I get these ornaments out and more clay(slip) mix up. Pour up 8 more ornaments.

Soon I won't be able to cast ceramics because my shop/garage will be to cold. My guess I will be able to cast ceramic one or two bucket.

I know the last post I did on my bottom of kiln and one can see  I have some painted pieces. These pieces was picked up at place like thrift store. The paint will be fired off and I'll repaint the items.

Every place I turn I only find only a few people who isn't in favor of affordable Care Act   I know some state extend out there medicaid program, Idaho was one of them.  I know most people in North Idaho isn't in favor of what some people call Obama Care. Confession-Statement time....I favor a one payer system for all something like combine our medicaid or medicare program....Question time...I wonder how many people are actually going over to healthcare
 to look in to it.  Both Murphy and I will look into affordable care this point I under stand to qualify for medicaid in Idaho one needs to be on disability program or your income under about $400 a month. You can own one vehicle doesn't matter the value. But here is kicker one can't own a home or anything value over $2,500. When medicaid was set up during President Johnson war on poverty in 60's. This was  a descent amount of income. We have a clinic here that works on sliding scale. For us to have anything done in clinic cost us $35 dollars and my blood work was $130 dollars. Places is connect to Kaniksu works there billing also on a sliding scale.  I heard this my be anther part of the affordable care act to have some medicaid program on sliding scale.

We won't be going to health care dot government on first but before the end of the month we will have visit and look into the affordable care act.
