Miss Cassie

Cassie (Jon's cat) lives with me and she is fun to have around. These two pictures are of her getting her drinks from the bathroom lavatory. She comes in first thing in the morning and jumps up and waits for me to turn on a slow trickle of water and then takes her paw and directs the stream of water to her mouth. When she finishes she comes on out and I have to remember to go back in and turn the water off.

Another cold day in Ames. I didn't even go outside and I didn't get any mail (at least not yet) so I wonder if they even delivered. I don't really mind not getting mail generally all I get are bills and ads. Nothing that says I have won the lottery or sweepstakes. Of course I would have to enter to win something. I can never understand why people gamble. My feelings about it is that I am going to lose and I set a limit for the amount I will "pay to play" usually not much.

I did win once. Mom and Ginny and I were on a trip to California and we stopped overnight in Vernal, Utah (That is another story) and then went on to Winnemucka (sp?) for breakfast. I decided to lose $5 on the slot machines and to make a long story short I won a jackpot of about $275. I told my mother that I had just won a jackpot and she said "lets get the H*** out of here." So we did and on the way home I purchased a beautiful Indian made turquoise and silver watch band. It was exciting. Unfortunately I have never been that lucky again. Usually I would lose 30 or 40 dollars and decide there were other places to spend the rest of my money.

My cousin Tom, seemed to be able to win as when I went to the Casino with him he came away with more money than he went in with.

Stay warm and hopefully things will be better tomorrow. I have not been out of the house for two days and I am going stir crazy. The biggest disadvantage to that is that I get bored and then I go off my diet. I had four beef sticks this afternoon. One every 10 minutes. The boys thought I was worthy of their adoration while I had the sticks in hand and they got a few tastes. j

Thoughts to Make You Smile

2.. I don't suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it.
3.. Some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them.
4.. I used to have a handle on life, but it broke.
5.. Don't take life too seriously; No one gets out alive.
6.. You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me.
7.. Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.
8.. Earth is the insane asylum for the universe.
9.. I'm not a complete idiot -- Some parts are just missing.
10.. Out of my mind. Back in five minutes.
11. NyQuil, the stuffy, sneezy, why-the-heck- is-the-room- spinning medicine.
12.. God must love stupid people; He made so many.
13.. The gene pool could use a little chlorine.
14.. Consciousness: That annoying time between naps.
15.. Ever stop to think, and forget to start again?

March certainly came in like a lion. It is crummy outside. Even the "boys" can tell there is something going on. Max usually sleeps on the other side of the room and is quiet (until he hears a noise) Today he has been sleeping over next to my chair and he has been practicing his "in and out" control of Uncle Jay. I put a couple of pictures of him on here as he went out to "do his business." Usually he goes out and rolls around in the snow and then he takes off to the far corner of the yard to take care of things. Today he is looking out the window. Sitting for a few minutes and then standing by the door to go out. He also climbed up on my lap. They know when something is going on.

Lodge was canceled for tonight so I am going to stay in. Keep warm and thanks for reading my blog. j

Joke de'Jour

Grandma and Grandpa were driving from Washington to Florida to attend their granddaughters graduation from medical school
Halfway through their trip, they stopped to visit one of their sons in Kansas for a night. Grandpa found a bottle of Viagra in the medicine cabinet He asked his son about using one of the pills.

The son said, "I don't think you should take one Dad, they're very strong and very expensive."

"How much?" asked Grandpa.

"Around $10..00 a pill," answered the son.

"I don't care," said Grandpa, "I'd still like to try one, we'll be leaving early in the morning, so I'll put the money under the pillow."

Later the next morning, the son found $110.00 under the pillow. He immediately called Grandpa on his cell phone and said, "I told you each pill was $10.00, not $110.00.

"I know," said Grandpa. "The hundred is from Grandma."
