HI ALL!! FOMO, BOGO, LMAO

    "    My spirit is winging my soul is free, I'm doing my drinking in good company, the music's screaming my feet are flying, everybody's laughing and nobody's crying, sneak suspicion it drags me down, a nagging feeling going around    "    Well off to the grocery store this morning. WOW, that is STILL a chore!! Have been working on a big deal on eBay, the guy seems to be hot and cold. He is back on again, but is showing signs of cooling off. He is trying to work me for silly low deal. I believe he is starting to realize that I am NOT going to do that. So I am applying the pressure to keep the deal alive. Got a few more items to research and then send him a 'killer' e-mail. Then we will know where it all stands. Had a quiet holiday weekend. Some rain early on, then nicer on Monday. Did some bar-b-que and not much else. My yard looks WILD!! Tons, and I mean TONS of dandelions. They open up all yellow in the morning until the early afternoon. Then close up and turn green with just the buds in the evening. Kind of funny to see through out the day. My toe seems to be getting a 'little' better. I'm going to give it another couple of days and then see where it is. If not noticeably better by then, I will call my regular doctor and see if he can get me in to look at it. CHOW MOI!!

HEY ALL!! USPS, UPS, FED EX, choose your posion

    "    Well the preacher kept right on saying that all I had to do was send ten dollars to the Church of the Sacred Bleeding Heart of Jesus located somewhere in Los Angeles, California and next week they'd say my prayer on the radio, and all my dreams would come true, so I did the next week I got a prayer with a girl well, you know what kind of eyes she got    "    Sold an item from my other card web site, so ran to the post office and got it sent out. This one web site does not have the capacity to do postage like eBay does. Well that's fine, it is sometimes a bit of a hassle but OK. Got one guy who is asking a lot of questions about three items I got on eBay. He's talking about some kind of three way bundle!?!? My gut feeling is he will back out over some kind of little issue with the sets. But, I answer his questions and sent him an offer. BUT, I am not looking for anything to develop. I think sometimes these guys get bored just looking at auctions and feel they need to get 'involved' with some aspect of the auction. So they ask questions that are too hard to answer, or impossible to answer. We'll see. Not much else going on, my right big toe is acting up again! Same problem, infection around the nail, this time the nail is NOT ingrown. I verified that the insurance company will still honor the referral I got back in January. Called the doctor's office, can't see me until the 12th. of JULY!! WHAT?? It's an infection, who knows WHAT it will be doing in 45 days!! That's the best they can do, they will make a note and if someone cancels they will call me?!?! WOW!! OK! No big plans for the holiday, bar-b-que and relax, watch the Indy 500 and take care of my infected toe!!  CHOW MOI!!

HI ALL!! customer service, customer service, customer service

    "    Share your thoughts there's nothing you can hide, she was dying to survive, I was caught oh taken for a ride, she was showing no surprise, slipped my tongue in someone else's pie, tasting better ev'ry time, he turned green and tried to make me cry, being hungry it ain't no crime    "    Well I go grocery shopping at the same store for about 20 PLUS years. I do venture off to other places once in awhile, but still spend A LOT at this one store. The last three times I have been in there shopping I have bought something from the deli. Each time I have gotten a newbie to help me, first or second day working!! And, on the surface that's fine. I spent close to 20 years in that industry, I have trained my share. The thing that amazes me is how the old time "pros" just VANISH when the newbie hooks up with a customer. You SHOULD never do that. Let them learn on their own is fine, BUT keep an eye on them and help them where it is interfering with customer service. Well today was ENOUGH!! It takes the newbie's WAY TOO long to get the ham opened and the cheese opened and get the correct slice thickness, etc, etc, etc!! I have spent just too much time waiting!! With my stenosis it hurts to just stand and wait, so after I checked out I tracked down a Manager. I told him about my condition and how I have to 'cut short' my shopping because I am in so much pain after standing and waiting on deli. I told him what was happening and the effect it was having. I also shared with him that I KNEW about customer service and what I expected. Now let us see what results will follow!?!? The weekend was quick, but a BIG disappointment. The yard guy I had lined up to do some miscellaneous work never showed. And bailed at the last minute. I was able to get some things cleaned up that I wanted to, but none of the yard work got done!! I guess I am done with him, now I need to find a new yard guy!! Nothing going on with eBay. Was able to check in with BOTH my daughters and see how they are doing. Both doing well!! I told them it was time to sit down with their hubby/boyfriend and decide what days would be good to come see daddy during the summer. Let's see?? Now my mind is hooked on this song!! THANKS!!   CHOW MOI!!

HEY ALL!! mow the grass, no grass at all, rip up all the grass

    "    Cause music is what I want, to keep my body always moving, Yeah shake it up .. .. , everyday I get another dose, I can't stand it when the music stops, everybody on the dance floor, you know what I'm talking about, music make you forget all your troubles make you sing, make you tell the whole wide world    "    Well been a quiet week. Did sell an item on eBay! Need to average about a $100 or more a week to rally make things jive! I got enough stuff to sell that at a $100 a week I am good for about three years!! That would be so cool!! Had some rain this week, so now the grass is really growing. I am going to HAVE to mow soon. Got plans for the landscaper to come over this weekend and get some miscellaneous things done. Hope he makes it! Really want to get stuff cleaned up and some items moved around. Maybe while he is here I can spend some time in the garage doing some chores that are on my work bench? Like to get some of that cleaned up too. Not really anything else going on. My hip continues to feel a little better every week. We'll see this weekend how good it is. I will probably spend a good amount of time out in the yard and on my feet. Fantasy baseball keeps going a long.  CHOW MOI!!

HI ALL!! jump into the shower, hop into the shower, JUST take a shower

    "    If you really want to rip up your mind, if you want to take the lid off your life, if you want to reach down in the sump, to last dregs off the camel's back hump, and the wolves are howling right at your door, and the vultures want to tear off some more, your flesh is burning right off your bones, your children kick you out of your home, if you really want to tear up your mind, if you really want to get yourself blind    "    Well been a solid weekend. BUT, first thing, does anyone 'jump' into the shower any more?? Or do they just 'take' a shower. I remember back in the day, it was 'jump' into the shower. Oh well?? I finally picked a winner for the fantasy gold game I play in. I still only finished 3538th, but I finally got a winner!! First time in about a year!! My fantasy baseball teams are doing OK, I am in the 'upper division' in all but 2 of the leagues. Been doing some stuff with eBay, but no sales!! Got more listed and what not. Been getting some questions, but nobody is buying yet. Been feeling better, my hip seems to be improving, slowly, but improving. Went grocery shopping Saturday, and was just 'wiped out'!! I don't remember being so tired afterwards in a very long time. But should be good for 10 to 14 days I hope!! Not much else going on, just grilling and enjoying the cooler weather.  CHOW MOI!!

HEY ALL!! late, later, she ain't comin'

    "    Is there nothing I can say, nothing I can do to change your mind, I'm so in love with you, you're too deep in you can't get out, you're just a poor girl in a rich man's house, yeah baby I'm crying over you, don't you know promises were never made to keep, just like the night dissolves into sleep, I'll be your savior steadfast and true    "    Well this is really bad. I am three days late!! I have been busy. Been doing a lot of stuff on eBay. Had a LARGE item sell, but the buyer never paid!! So had to file a 'non-paying bidder' case against him. And I have been going through stuff in my room and finding things I forgot I even had. So have been doing some research to see what they might bring. I have also been listing several things with more to come!! BUT STILL!! You would think with ALL day on my hands, I would find time to post on my blog. I don't know, there comes a time in the late afternoon where I just settle into my chair and start watching baseball. That's the beauty of living in the Pacific Time Zone, East Coast games start around 4 pm!! So I can watch some of that, catch the nightly news, eat dinner, and then catch West Coast games!! WHAT A LIFE!! Have been feeling better, my hip is getting better, my left thigh is improving as well. Been just doing things and staying busy. Trying to get a hold of the kid that did some yard work for us, want him to do some more stuff. No luck at this point yet. Had a great chat with BOTH my daughters!! That is rare, I only get to talk to the youngest one about every 5 weeks or so. At their age I was calling home about every week. The oldest one is VERY good about it, BUT still work to so on the young one. I guess a fathers job is NEVER done!! AND I love every minute of it!! More grilling weather!! CHOW MOI!!

HI ALL!! sun's up, top's down .. sun's out, gun's out

    "    Honey is there any place that you would like to eat, I know a coffee shop down on fifty-second street, and I don't need no fancy food and I don't need no fancy wine, and I sure don't need the tears you cry, .. .. , yeah a movie house on forty-second street, ain't a very lovely place for you and I to meet, watching the snow swirl around your hair and around your feet, and I'm thinking to myself she surely looks a treat    "    Well been a slow and decent week, just trying to relax and heal up. My hip is feeling better, BUT my upper left leg has been hurting more. Not sure if it's something I did to it, or what. It is feeling a little better today, but not much. My sister paid for a housekeeper to come out and clean the house for mothers day today. So I am just chilling again today. Not much going on with eBay, I filled a 'non-paying bidder' report yesterday on the guy who won, but did NOT pay for an item. I hate it when they do that. At least they get a black mark against them. Still got several chores to work on, probably next week. The weather is suppose to turn too hot again. Fantasy baseball is moving along, not doing too bad, still in first place in several leagues!! Got my little bank issue taken care of as well. Grill on!! CHOW MOI!!

HEY ALL!! service the car, take UBER, can I walk there from here

    "    Think I wanna get on now, oh yeah, silver rain is a fallin', fallin' all around my house, oh yeah, and I did not know her name, but I sure love the way that she laughed and took my money, and I did not know her name, but I sure love the way that she laughed and called me honey    "    Well was out and about yesterday. Had to take the Rouge in for servicing. Oil change and what not. The nest service call will be more intense, it will be the 60,000 mile point. Car is doing well, running great at this point. I am VERY happy with our purchase. Got more errands to run this week as well. Got to do a little grocery shopping. Was able to get the yard mowed over the weekend. Did do a little over the back tumble, was jockeying for position and went from reverse to forward very fast and, boom back over the seat onto the ground. No damage, but sore the last two days. OH WELL, just another one of those things. It isn't the first time I went ass over head from a riding mower!! BUT, it needs to be the LAST!! The yard looks great!! Talked with the neighbor, he plans to have a bulldozer in this summer. Hope to get him to add some dirt to my sloping back yard and level it out some. He thought that would be a doable thing. He also is going to have spray mulch put down. Maybe I can get some of that too. Been grilling away, love it. It has been cool enough in the evenings. CHOW MOI!!
