RETIRED: Marlboro Outwit the West Funny Farm

I am so afraid of screwing up my computers so I do not try different things. If I find something that works I just use it that way and it not the best way. the PC is better I just set up bookmarks listed and keep going back, but what I do on the netbook is antiquated. Just clicking out and reloading the explorer repeatedly. and pulling up my favorites. Not right.


You did good grandma - better than I can.

So have to tell you about my walk with 2 grandaughters today it was cute and a learning experience. I asked them if the wanted to walk to K-mart it is 12 blocks from here. 6 year old says what is a block? I told her we are crossing the street now and when we walk a block we will cross another street and we have to do this 12 times she says ok. So we are walking and its hot and she is complaining about the heat etc. etc. the 4 year old doesn't say a word just hold my hand and walks. So we get there and I'm sweating like crazy and dieing (old lady syndrome) we head to the lawn section and collapse in a lawn chair. LOL so we don't find what I wanted and I grab a bottle of water for walk back. While in line to ladies in riding carts are trying to get water out of the little cooler at the check out and can't open the door of the frig with their carts in the way so they ask the 6 year old if she can open it and had them 2 bottles of water which she does without a thought (and i'm right there checking who is talking to them) so they get in line behind us and are just praiseing how sweet and helpful they are and hand them each a dollar. We thanked them and went on our way. walking back 6 year old is just so happy she say my teacher was right. I said about what? She says she taught us manners and i used manners and I got a dollar! LOL had to explain that that using manners is great but not to expect money for it. Needless to say Grandma was dragging by the time we got back. and they wanted to spend their dollar at the candy store still. (The Holiday station by my house they call the candy store) Sorry so long just thought this was cute.

Everyday in a little ones life is an adventure. You never know what will sticks with them. I think I told before about taking my 4 year old stepson on a bus and he brought it up to me when he was 18. Asked if I remembered when we went on that bus. Certain things stay with them when they are special to them.

How cute is that !!

You are right - I remember probably about 4 sitting in my grandfather's backyard surrounded by his chickens and they were pulling the worms out of the ground. Then I have a blank for a year or so until kindergarten.

Same here I remember very little from when I was small just bits and pieces. Special memories I guess.

I am going to go for a little while and try to rest so I can get up in a few hrs to do the iw's. then have an early morning appointment so i cannot screw that up either. Take care.

Done voted, except Gary's page continues to be the Twilight Zone of my world.

I won a $20 gas card last night from Win 76 Gas for Life. (Those cards they give you when you put gas in your car.) Surprised me, because I didn't think people won those things.

Tonight I won a $20 Walgreen's gift card from Colgate. It's a pretty good prize from that one.

Almost all packed have laundry tomorrow and start up baby netbook for any updates and may transfer sweeps to it. Only bad thing is wanted to tan a little so didn't burn but one arm started peeling today then took 2 granddaughters on a 2 mile walk (yes I did that to them) and the spots that peeled on my arm got these weird little blisters so my one arm is gonna really look sweet for the wedding LOL think instant tan lotion to cover is in the near future.

Attached a couple pics. One for Internet Explorer that shows the refresh on upper mid right of the page. Then one for Chrome, on the left side of page, on the left side of the little house, up along the top of the page. I put a red circle around them. Just hitting the F5 has also been mentioned....I didn't know about that.
