I called for the 9th time and they sent a technician here for the 9th time. There is just nothing left to be done but one thing. He examined the phone lines, the jacks and so on. All new jacks..new wiring here and there..the burglar alarm system tested again by ADT and so far, good to go but you know how that has been. I don’t report it to you each day but up to now, each day has had at east one call in it that is dropped. Next step he said, if it continues is re-wire completely. I will say that without exception, the persons in the call center and even more importantly each and every man they have sent out here has been polite, personable, very professional and very knowledgeable. It’s just that it is so hard to track the problem down. So..let’s see what happens this time.
I did the duck walk around that upper flower bed again. Oh, my inner thighs (Paul..don’t you start
) felt like a quivering mass for about 3, 4 minutes. They easily got over it after then and I am glad that’s done again. I see black spot already on one of the roses and for pete sakes, powdery mildew too.

I had come back yesterday and saw them glowing, ran for the camera and hoped you would like them. Not sure what if anything I will do today. Polly and I seem to be the only ones submitting these days.
I got my brand new iPod Nano today. I had him engraved with my name and city. He’s been filled up with what was on the other iPod and there’s room for more..so..standing by.
Not only am I craving bean with bacon soup (still) but..graham crackers. Can’t get enough. Not a very balanced diet but then, my diet rarely is. Going to Greg’s house..he has pancakes and Starbucks. And a baby grand daughter to play beside. 🙂
I’m drinking root beer. *HIC* Ooops..wrong beer..anyway, Miss Catt is lounging in the doorway, not on her back for once! And I am waiting on the guy to mow. I have never seen a lawn get so high in a week and 2 days. Tomorrow is Weight Watchers..I’ll let you know how that went and oh yes…when the tech showed up at the house for the phone problems..I had no idea he was going to be here. He caught me on the treadmill..sweating and no make up..hair in a stubby pretend pony tail sticking out like a knob in the back of my head (short hair now) how embarrassing. Of course, he could care less..it was only me who felt awkward.
OK. Been around to some of you today already..still making rounds to who came to see me.

I do hope it is fixed this time. Hope your day is great.
I\’ll keep my fingers crossed that the phone is fixed this time.Hmmm wonder what those craving\’s mean LOL.Have a great day.HugsSherry
I had a ton of problems with the "package deal" from Sprint when we moved up here. The DSL would go dead after a couple of days and I would have to wait 3 or 4 days for the service guy to show up and fix it. Finally I just told the customer service rep to come get their junk, I was throwing it out in the middle of the street. A tech showed up within the hour (he said he was one block over when he got the page to drop everything and get to my house before the equipment was destroyed) and everything has been fine since…..with the DSL.The package deal was for phone, internet and sat TV "all for one low, monthly rate". I\’m still getting separate bills for TV and it\’s only been 5 years since they first promised to get it straightened out. If cable service wasn\’t so astronomically high here I would just drop the phone/DSL/sat TV and go to cable TV/internet and cells. We haven\’t even used the landline phone in a couple of years. It\’s sitting on the closet shelf in a box.
How annoying is that? 9 Times and still not fixed!!! I could see your aggrivation. I too checked my roses yesterday and they look like they have mold??? Will try and get that taken care of today. You have a great day and enjoy your new ipod. Hubby has one and I gave one as a present but me nope , don\’t know why just don\’t. Hugs, Pat
I\’ll be right down to mow if you come up here to shovel the snow tomorrow. I was going to take some photos of the tulops, my strawberry plants, and some of the herbs that were starting to come up, but the start of the snowfall put the skids on that. I bought some kitty shampoo for Gabby, a new brush and a metal comb so I can see if that helps. Now all O have to do is get some heavy duty gloves to wear while I bathe her as she has BIG teeth and claws!Love ya!!
Good afternoon…Looks like I need to make more pancakes. Better go buy some more fresh strawberries. Probably some blueberries too…However, I don’t think my pancakes are on the Weight Watchers menu. Especially since I cook them in lots of butter.My son, J.R. needed a plastic liter bottle for a science project today…So we bought some AW Root Beer yesterday and drank the whole bottle with our lunch. Chug-a-lug chug a lug. Make ya wanna holla hidy hoe!!!Maybe you can drink enough root beer to see if you can burp the alphabet while doing your duck walk around your flower beds for the guy who mows your yard?Now I have the Chug-a lug song in my head. Time to go hidy ho…That Greg guyhttp://blogquest.spaces.live.com
Sorry the technician caught you on the treadmill. Goodbye to the diva image for Monday. This is Monday I guess. I forgot for some reason. LOLThe bean with bacon soup has enough sodium content to send my BP over the moon. Please watch that. I have Diet A&W if you want to stop by and lots of graham crackers.
Caught without the Diva look. Wow. The soup sounds so good. Haven\’t had any for sooooo long. Graham crackers have never been to my taste but I could go for a root beer. Being royalty and all, Miss Catt can lounge anywhere is suits her I guess.
Graham crackers are good, especially when that ol\’ sweet tooth starts kickin\’ in! They\’re even better dipped in yogurt! Sure hope ya phone line\’s fixed this time. Sorry ya got caught sans makeup. sweaty and with a stubby pretend ponytail! Shouldn\’t have happened to such a fine southern diva as yourself! Got ice cream to go with that root beer?
i have furry balls growing on a oak tree of mine i am very worried about. My roses are great this year, tons of buds. As for the food, I am having pickle cravings. I can\’t get enough kosher dills. No I am not pregnant. Unless it\’s an immaculate conception. ha ha.
that would really be a miracle at my age haha
You did the WHAT?! Oh, good lawdy, girlfriend…"The duck walk around that upper flower bed, and only felt like a quivering mass for about 3, 4 minutes", huh? I\’m a quivering mass just reading about it. Way to go, Carole. That bean and bacon soup sounds delicious. I love bacon anything. Oh yea, and graham crackers anytime with oj.
You have problems couple things one is the phone lines and the black spot on the roses, you needed to spray quickly for those aphids as well? I was surprise to know you have a patience for wait 9 th time to they sent a technician?????I would change to another phone companylol! Wait see how you go to W.W tomorrow……..XXXOOO
Dear Carole, Love bean and bacon soup with some fresh made bread and real butter. As ever be well
Hopefully, the phone line fault can be found and rectified soon..it\’s certainly been taking quite a lot of your time.
