I forgot the keyboard uses AAA.

All better now.

P.S. Yay, it's payday and I have food.

Thought mice eat cheese not batteries.

Hospital just called: they wanted my permission to transport Mom to Kindred Hospital instead of back to the nursing home and I said "yes."

Kindred specializes in temporary care for the aged.

It's raining sheep and wolves so I chose to stay home rather than get soaked. Besides, wet wolf hair.....you know.

I have a love/hate relationship with Time Warner Cable:

To keep connected to the internet, I had to shell out $156.00 to cover a back due balance. That's $156 out of my $538.00 monthly.

That SUCKS

I have love/hate feelings for all cable providers - minus the love. --FLO--

I used to work for the local cable company. They all suck, and they're all a bunch of thieves. I made a crap-ton of money working there, hourly+commission.. and got free cable/internet to boot. Wasn't worth it. I hated lying to people, and I entirely too much of a concience to have kept working there.

I believe ya Daughter

I found out today that the same redundancy that once existed in the railroad industry exists within Time Warner Cable.

I've always had three TV's and three cable boxes. Now that I'm less rich than I was before, I called Cable to come pick up two of the boxes as I only need one and it will save me $16.00 a month.

Featherbedding came to mind today as it took two Time Warner cable guys to pickup two cable boxES. I never realized they were "that" heavy.

Now I know why Time Warner charges so much.

The local cable company came through here laying cable this summer. Wrecked everyone's front yards. It's still a mess. I had spools and equipment parked in my yard all labor day weekend. I even harassed the cops, to no avail. Apparently, I can't piss enough to ruin a diesel motor, either...but I tried! I'm sure someone wasn't happy about the dog shit in his seat, either...

What gets me is they haven't even tried to market it. No calls, no ads, no nothing. No one wants it here anyway. No one is interested. They all got dish like 20 years ago. Why did they bring it out here? For one employee who bought a house out here. Soon as I find out who, she's going to get an arsonist calling at 2am, too. Soon as I kidnap her cats and dig up her flower gardens.

As for me, all television stations could cease tomorrow and I wouldn't be bothered. I don't watch TV. I no longer go to movies either, unless someone else pays. I did rent 1 DVD last month. The rest, I "rented" online. All 140 of them.

BE NICE TO THE CATS!!!! They didn't order the cable!!!!!!

I just listed a few short reasons why everyone needs to call Paolo when they have problems with utility companies

Kindred Hospital's cardiologist just called to say mom's heartbeat was down to 25 beats per minute.

She is on Chemical Code status. The cardiologist will put her on an external pacemaker to stimulate the heart.

Now it's just time....

Mac I will keep you and your mom in my heart and prayers. You have been a good son and taken good care of your mom. You will have an extra star in your crown. Losing a loved one is never easy but the heart slowing down is one of the most peaceful ways for it to happen.

The gentleman I cared for with Alzheimer's passed away recently and I knew he would be reunited with his memories and his wife who preceded him in death.

My heart prayers goes out to you and your mother at this time. Wish that she can make it pass the holiday so it will not be a date so ease to remember.

Hang in there Wolfie.

Thanks tugon and Bobbie

thanks Sheepies

My neighbor must of thought I needed cheering so she gave me a Xmas present: a lil gray kitten.

It's soft, cudly and innocent so I named it Jessica siamese:

Merry Christmas Mr. Mac. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Letting go is a hard thing to do.

My mother, Lois Ellen Avery, died at Kindred Hospital at 6:55am.

Doctors say she closed her eyes and went to sleep and suffered no pain

Wolfie, I am very very sorry to here of your loss of your Mother today. I know how very much you loved he all the years of your life. I meet your mother when I visited you. Your love was so very easy to see and experience. You would do anything that you could for her at any time.

She was lucky to have a son that took care of her all the years. Most would have put their mother's in a nursing home a great many years before you did. You gave the best care that any one could ever expect. Taking care of her when she did not even know who you were. Having to put up when the police came to the door because she called saying a stranger was in the house. It took a very strong person to put up with that for so many years. Yet your love never stopped.

You can rest knowing that she is in a better place now with no pain and only has joy. Wish you well.

Mac I am sorry for your loss my prayers are with you

May your mother rest in peace

Praise the Lord, you Mom is no longer in pain. I know it is hard to let go of anyone, but you did the very best you could for her and she is at rest now. Stand tall and proud Mr. Mac. You did good.

You know I am sorry also Wolfie, I to, feel your pain and your relief in the same. It's hard on one side, and much better on the other. I love you Wolfie and always think of you even if you dont hear from me.

Big Big hugs, Love Lilac
