For some time now I have been thinking that my hair is getting thin since all the med and so I decided after My husband suggested it that I would get a perm. I think this was the fourth one I have had in my lifetime. I don't know why I did it bit I did.
let me tell you it really took. I mean I have corkscrews all over my head. I t is not a pretty sight. Evaluative my husband looks at me he has to check himself so that he doesn't laugh. I would laugh too if it were some one else.They told me not to wash it two days so that the curls will set better.And I really really really want to wash it and get rid of some of those curls, however, when I think of how much it cost it gives me pause to keep them at least for a few weeks .
The sad thing is that I know better. The last time I vowed never to do it again. My sons secretly called me bozo the clown . All that red hair and all those curls.Now my hair is w and coursers so the solution worked so well. when I get up in the morning I look like a wild woman/ and it itches too.
No more perms I am using that as my new years resolution. I am just wondering how long this one will last , the lady who gave it to me said it would probably last longer than usual because I had virgin hair. I'm not sure what that's means but I don't think it's a good thing.
In fact I think I will go wash it now. I'll let you know how it goes.
Have a good day all and talk to God about anything and everything He's a a very good listener. Luv ya Sass

Friends are the best medicine
I am always amazed that someone actually reads my junk. It says I have followers too. Imagine that. I will try my very best not to lead you astray.
Judy I am so proud of you for taking this big step. I see where it looked like Sherry has had it 2 time now is that right? I go to St Louis in June to see if I qualify or not. I went to a seminar and that Dr. said they are testing a new procedure that is less invasive. They don't have to drill holes or put in a monitor. They hadn't tried it on Parkinson's just tremors. It worked wonderfully well so we just need to keep our fingers crossed I guess. I will be honest the drilling of holes scares me some, but I will do it if I can. Keep me posted OK? You can do it girl.
Jutka you are such a love. Always building me up I don't know how I got so lucky as to have you as a friend but I thank God everyday for you and Judy.
As to the other followers I would like to get to know you better. Did you read my stuff because of Parkinson's? IF SO let me know I would love to hear how you are doing. IF you read me for some other reason tell me about it please. I know some lady told me she started reading my stuff because of my walk with God.. IF that's the case I am very humbled and will continue to try and give him all the praise as it should be.
Well time to work on this dirty house. I have a new system I do two rooms a day. The only problem is that I tend to just shift stuff from the one I am cleaning to the one I cleansed yesterday.And the most distressing thing is that the kitchen needs cleaning 3 times a day. There that's better I almost forgot to complain now that just won't do
Have a great day God is keeping watch so Let go and let God. :luv ya Sass

Boy am I fat
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes I wouldn't have believed it. The scale is set right too according to those who have compared it. Here I am 5"4' and weigh a whopping 178 pounds. My husband is 6"4" and weighs 190.
I have only been this big one time before and that was due to medicines. Part of it is medicines again but more is from just pigging out. I just kept eating and eating and eating.
Now I am having to start not eating and eating and eating. So as of today I am counting points without actually going on weight watchers.. I have been on it before and had pretty good results. I need to lose for so many reasons so I hope I can keep to it this time.
Hard to believe I weighed 118 when we got married. just look at all those skinny people.
I especially like th feather hat my mother is wearing. Those were the good ole days. You can see the difference in height. Our boys are both over 6ft. So I really do feel little when they all three stand by me.
This picture makes me a little sad because all four of our parents are gone now. Good people>
Enough rambling time to get a little work done. Mopping the bathroom floor. anyone want to volunteer I didn/t think so.
Have a fun week remember to stop and say hi to God from time to time.it will make him smile.
luv ay. Sass

Happy but broke
We have this rule that we cannot owe anything on our credit cards from Christmas. Well, I didn't add anything but I sure lowered our checking account. We sent out mostly gift cards. I don't know who started the gifrt card thing, and I'm not sure I like it but it comes in handy especially for teenagers.
it does seem like you are not putting much thought into the gift though.
Now I have to work on building the checking account back up.
I have found that I have these rules that I make for myself since retiring and some people would think I am going off the deep end and they may not be too far off.
I have this fear that something catustrophic will happen and one of us will be in the hospital with a serious problem ,. and when we get the bill it will be huge. So I think I have to keep at least a large amount of money where we can get at it. It is never touched. I have watched as friends go broke on medical bills . It really scares me. I don't have much faith in insurance now days,.
I also do not make a new bill until the old one is paid off. My husbasnd feels the same way for the most part but he thinks I go too far at times. We needed a new roof and a different car at the same time and I wouldn't even look at a new car until the roof was completely paid for. I don't know what I think is going to happen and I don't want to find out.
I also check my credit score quite often. I guesss after reading all this I must be a little parinoid, Another thing to work on it the new year.
Have a great day. say hi to God.

Let's all say it together "Merry Christmas"
There now it can be over. For the most part it is finished here. the parties and giving of gifts. not the eating though. That I fear will go on and on and on if I don't get with it. Christmas day will just be our son and possibly his friend who would be alone.
We are going to bake a chicken since we are all tired of turkey. then open presents and have a quiet day. I will probably start taking down the tree that evening as usual. It seems so much cleaner when everytings put away. It is supposed to snow a litttle during the week so maybe we will have a white Christmas. I woudl love that. THen it should melt and stay in the 40's and 50's the rest of the winter. I know I know I am dreaming.
What do you do when people keep buying you presents and you really would like to cut down the list of people you buy for. There are a few presents we got that we did not intend to buy for them. We discussed this a month or two ago but here they come with presents and so I have to keep some gifts without names on them to give in a pinch. This year I am giving fruit baskets that I can get quickly. Walmart is a life saver with those. My son thought it was very funny when I walked around trying to find things to put in my red hatters gift bag that I had gotten as gifts. I passed on some lovely dish towels and candles thank you very much.
Sunday afternoon the guys are watching football and I have a new book to read so this is a perfect time. Hope you are having a good day too. Merry Christmas, Happy birthday Jesus, felice navidad(Sp) show some love to someone you aren't too fond of It will confuse them and you will feel better if it's with the right fame of mind. ,luv ya Sass
He looks a little frazzled like me. but he does have a nice smile.

People keep saying how can this happen
I have a few opinons and since I have this opportunity to voice my opinion I am going to state what I feel is the obvious.
Here we go. I believe the United States has turned into a me country. Everywhere we go its me me me. I beleive it started in the 50's/ Our soldiers came back home after the war and the women who had been doing the men's jobs while they were gone decided they liked the extra money so they continued to work and there were now 2 income families. This meant more money at home to spend on the kids, and the mothers felt gluilty for not being home so they bought more and more and more
The disipline changed from the guilt it went from I said no and that's that to please do it for mommy and I will give you a surprise. It esculates more with each generation.
I have sat in a childrens Sunday class and watched young motfhers let their childrens dictate the atmosphere of the room and of course when one starts others join in. And we older ladies don't want to interfere for fear of making waves in the church/. So we just sit there and look at other older ladies and roll our eyes.
It has grown so that now the grown ups are adutls and still believe they can have everything that they want. I worked in human resourses for years and watched as the interview for hiring went from the
prospective employee went from the attitued of Look what I can do for you to what can you do for me. The demands got bigger and bigger thanks in part to unions and we have demanded ourselves right out of Now don't get me wrong unions can be a good thing but they also can be distructive to our workforce and our llvelyhoods.
I do not consider myself a very intelligent women. however. anyone with half a brain can tell we are spoiled way out of proportion.
I don't want to harp on the past but for you older and I mean much older people think about when you got married. IF you were like us you had hand me down furniture and a bearly running old car. We thought we had the world. My husband was in the military and Viet Nam was a threat everyday. So we lived with that fear, It never occured to us to go to our parents and ask for money. They were in the same boat of trying to keep there lives going as best they could. I did go to stay with my parents when my husband went to war. I worked and paid them a little not because they asked for it but because it was the right thing to do. How many parents are receiving help from their children when they come back home.
This last week has been another example to me of the me thing. I don't want to dwell on the tragedy but why in the world would a mother who knows her child has massive problems choose to keep fireams in the house.If she enjoyed target practice then keep the guns somewhere else or lock them securely away from the family. While this sounds terrible and am going to say it anyway. Thank goodness the son killed her before he took other lives. I don't think she could have withstood the pain and agony of knowning what happened. I have thoguht about it a lot and I would want to be dead in that case.
Not to be rude but they seay they were well off, and there is nothing wrong with being well off. It seems like she could have gotten help but I am not to judge that is God's decision.
Last God, people say why did God let such a thing happpen. I remember when my brother was 28 years old and his plane, he was a pilot in the Air Force, crashed. At the funeral the one thing the minister said that has always stuck with me. Wouldn't it be awful if only old people were in heaven.
Think about it
Don't let the holidays go by without talking to loved ones. God keeps in touch with us let's do the same. Luv ya Sass
