  1. I'm in my third day of trying to simply change my phone number with Amazon so I can get shipping up dates.

     

    A nice lady at the local shipping depot (if you ever want to see a very busy, very efficient, and very colorful operation, go see one of their facilities) has incited me to come visit her on Monday and she'll fix it for me.

     

    I love the way Amazon gets their stuff to me but their web site is a disaster unless you're ordering something.

  2. Oh, that's just hilarious.  I still have one of their watches.  It belonged to Dad and he never wore it, so maybe this is a sign that I should take it to shop and have it checked out.  Could still be wearable.

    NOW YER COOKIN’!!  :lol:
     

    I just HATE those “sad” emoji’s when I’m just bitchin’!  
     

    Get mad WITH me, or be mad at me for being a dumbass!!  That, I can handle!   Feeling sorry for me??  Nuh uh!! ;)

    My daughter called to tell me that if I die WITHOUT my Life Alert pendant on (It was new and I didn't remember to wear it when I had this last episode) that there would be NO services or funeral.  She said she'd just drive me to the dump and kick me off the back of the ruck.

     

    Guess I'm getting sentimental.  I was really touched by that.

    Not grumpy today! It’s 5:30 pm CST! I turned 70 years of age this minute!!

     

     I had lunch today with two friends that I started the 7th grade with!  One is one of the current drummers in my band. The other is a former guitar player in my band and was once lead guitar for Charlie Daniels. 
     

    We spent more than two and a half hours, eating, drinking, and talking about old times, other friends, and the things we’ve done for the last 58 years!!

     

     I am mostly healthy, as are both of them, and we’re all reasonably comfortable with our situations.

     

    We kept a table tied up for a good long while, so we tipped the server really well.  She even brought out a huge dish of ice cream with “Happy Birthday” spelled out in chocolate sauce that the three of us shared.

     

    As an aside, I really HATE when someone puts up a “sad” emoji as a comment when I say something about a health issue because those things don’t get me down!  They reinforce my determination to beat those issues when I am confronted with ‘em!  You guys and girls are my support system/group!!
     

    SO!  If I mention that blasted foot, it means I have gone on the offensive again and I’m probably just venting a little out of frustration.  Smack me or kick me to get me moving and fuss at me for messing up again!  Just don’t feel sorry for me, ‘cause I’m not going to let any of this crap get me down!!

    I missed this somedamnhow, so here's a later that it should be Happy Birthday, KID.  JFWIW I was 70 once, but I wasn't very good at it.

     

    BTW, you look at these little setbacks the same way I do:  I can't do much about it and I can write them off as a new experience, so I just carve another notch in my pistol and carry on the best I can.

     

    I've had a wonderful (for the most part), very interesting, and vastly better life than most folks, so don't you dare feel sorry for me, unless you want to explain how an 81 year old busted, twisted, and bent old man kicked the bejabbers out of you and laughed about it when I got all stiffened up from the exercise.

    Wait til you're in your 60s...

     

     

    And don't ask me how I know...

    Or your 80s.  It gets better as you age because a lot more people realize you just don't give a damn and will shoot you just for giggles and grins.

     

    It's becalming for everyone except complete idiots who don't believe you will.

     

    SURPRISE! ;)

  7. Well, hell.  My cell phone...my ONLY phone...is not working, my car won't start (AGAIN!!), all of my neighbors have gone to work and I'm too crippled up to walk anywhere.

     

    This just stinks!!!

     

    I have places to go and can't and tomorrow I have four different appointments at the VA to sort out my physical problems.

     

    Gonna be interesting at the very least.

    And a Cartridge in a Bare Tree.

    Ah, yes: a cartridge in a bare tree.

     

    Had one on my desk at work in about 1985 right under my "Bah! Humbug!" sign.

     

    The sign came down the next day after someone reminded me that Eb Scrooge turned out to be a good guy.
