Clear up cloudy and rain a dry drizzle

Good morning,



Pretty neat light shows this week. That is what I could see of them. I do miss hearing a good thunderstorm. Now it's all visual. Kinda zaps (No pun intended) the fun out of it a bit.



The week has just flown by!! Mark another one off the calendar. Hope everybody had a good week and was able to keep on schedule.



Speaking of schedule, I've scheduled a Neurology appointment. Said appointment is slated for August 7th at 9:30 a.m. I would imagine this will be nothing more than a get acquainted appointment as I have not visited this particular Doctor previously. He's here in Crawfordsville to save a trip to Indy, but he'll probably refer me to Indy anyway. Oh he'll schedule me for an MRI and do a once-over examination, bilking my insurance. But, we'll see. I feel like the wicked witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz, to wit, "I'm melting! Melting!!" Have gone down hill quite a bit in the last 6 months or so. Balance is as worse as it's ever been I can barely get myself to the bathroom. Left hand/arm is beginning to shake involuntarily. Extremely uncoordinated with my left hand. No headaches, Thank God, but it's the only positive I can put forth. Also my left leg isn't cooperating as it should. That's it on the Medical front. Don't expect much else to be said about it. I'm just gonna wrap back up into my own little World.


I'm going to be testing a new program with this edition. I've found an application that allows a "limited" amount of e-mails to be scheduled for delivery. Key word is "limited". Like TEN. So, Ten of our present 49 subscribers will be receiving instant notification when The Sunday News hits the shelves. LetterMeLater.com is the URL of this site if anybody is interested. Many mail clients don't have this feature, as I'm sure you are aware. It was tough whittling it down to Ten. Not to worry though, everybody will still receive a friendly notification. I suppose I should combine my address books into one and have everybody loaded into my mail client but that would make waayyy too much sense, thus not part of my lifestyle. :-)


My woeful Cincinnati Reds went 4-6 the last ten games and are 4 full FOUR games behind the Cardinals and One behind the irritating Cubs of all teams. They (the Reds) best get it in gear and begin ascending the National League Central.


That's it for this week. I apologize for being so long-winded but I actually wanted to say something this time.


Oh, by the way, Ruby and I have mended fences. Well, sorta. I've just swallowed my pride and let her feel as if she "won." I've made my point, 'nuf said. See all of you next Sunday

Happy Fathers Day!!!!!!

Eureka!!! Shazam!!! Mississippi!!! Bingo!!! Euchre!!!! Uno!!! Yahtzee!!! Or enter your preferred term of glee. I figured it out!!!! What is "it" you ask? "It" is figuring out the ability to SCHEDULE to post this very worthwhile News release at a designated time automatically, thus allowing me to continue to slumber. Now I realize most of you have this charming blog bookmarked and need not be notified as you have been trained to check in each Sunday automatically. Under the old format you had delivered each Sunday The Sunday News promptly at 4:00 a.m. like clock work. Here, until now, it has been whenever. But as you can undoubtedly see, this issue was posted at precisely 4:00 a.m. I KNEW there was a way to do just that as I kept seeing the word "scheduled". Took me awhile, but I got it.



Spent the afternoon at Bryan's dining on KFC. YUMMY!!!! Smarty britches had to inquire if I needed Catsup/ketchup. Ever who heard of putting catsup/ketchup on KFC???? Table mate
Mr. Brown perhaps. It was great to get away from this place for awhile. Thank you, Bryan!!! At least I know he reads this blather.



Nothing substantial to report this week from "The 'Burg". Unless you count the three residents who tried to escape. Tighter security than Alcatraz. No other mouse's sighted either.



Have a Happy Father's Day, a good week next week and I'll see ya all next Sunday.....same time, same channel.

June 14, 2009 There's a Mouse in my house

Good Morning,



Pretty quiet week here at "The 'Burg" last week. THANK GOD!!! After the last two weeks, an uneventful one is kind of nice.



Thank you for the comments posted. Kinda makes this seem worth while. For those that haven't, we here at The Sunday News still Love ya, but we'd still like to hear from ya.



The reading binge continues. Began Novel #42 yesterday. I'm thinking I began this project a year ago, so 41 Novels read shows the kind of time I have on my hands. It's good to escape.



There is a mouse in my house. Saw one of the critters this past week coming out from the chest of drawers. I've named him Mortimer. Just the one sighting and the CNA's advise the place is crawling with them. YUCK!!!! Oh well, he caused me to throw out my remaining food stuffs. Crackers, Chips, etc etc etc.



Going to pack it in for this week. I hope everybody had a good week and managed to dodge the storms. Have a good week upcoming and I'll see you here next Sunday. By the way, Lee, if you missed my post, yes, I'm interested in the tracts you have available. Let me know if you need my snail mail addy.



God Bless,

Pro 13:3 (NLT)

Pro 13:3 Those who control their tongue will have a long life; a quick retort can ruin everything. (NLT)


Good Morning,


Would have been nice for me to recall this little tidbit BEFORE making the "feel good" comments I made. But, like bullets, words, once spoken, can't be brought back once they are out of the cylinder. The only drama this week was, as you can undoubtedly guess, was caused by yours truly. I'm not even sure what or how it even came about, but come about it did. "Ruby," the physical therapist who walks/ed with me twice a day and I had words. Some days she shows up, some days she don't. I mentioned this to her and she said "something", I didn't quite hear her. What she said was said for the benefit of my hearing compatriots who CAN hear, although minimally. Next thing ya know we are both giving each other what for and slinging allot of unkind words. I "fired" her. Granted, not the smartest thing I could have said, but said it I did. With everything that happened last week combined with my odd hours of slumber, I'm a wee-tad crotchety these days. I'm not making excuses, I'm just say'n. Where all of this will lead is any body's guess. Stay tuned.......


I need to apologize for last week's edition. Verbiage toward the right margin was cutoff. I'm not sure what the cause of it was, other than my creating it within my e-mail client, This week's is being drafted within the blog itself. So there "shouldn't" be any problems. Again, I regret the error.


All for this week. Have a great week everyone and I'll see ya next week.
