This will be my last post to this thread and to MFP entirely....Pride???....I have no pride!!!!....to imply that I have not asked for help is an insult....let me set something straight....I currently live on long term disability insurance I PAID FOR OUT OF MY OWN POCKET, not SSD....I have applied for and receive both food…

Well....the TV tech has come and gone....no TV....again....for various reasons that I just don't want to talk about....now my only option is to use my backup plan, which is to use the local company here in Dufur that I told you about that is gonna cost me three times as much for 10 crappy channels I have no interest in,…

OK....no, I am still, again, not done yet....lmao!!! Just one more post, then I'll shut up >:) Rita - I think the shelf that your DH made is beautiful and unique....he really has some talent with woodworking and I think that's great!! I love it when people create beautiful things with their own two hands....it shows…

You know....oh, no, I'm not done yet still....lol.... I was just pondering public computers and libraries and I just remembered something that may make that idea more time consuming and difficult.....library public computers won't let you or are not set up to upload pictures from a flash drive or CD....they don't have CD…

Hey again...lol...no, I'm not done yet!.... Guess what???....I went down to The Dalles this afternoon to pick up a few things I can't get up here and stopped by Goodwill....you know how yesterday (I think it was yesterday, lol) I said I thought I could finally go down to a size 26 jeans??....well, I tried two pair on, just…

Barbie - I've just learned yesterday the library here in Dufur is on the high school campus, don't know how big it is or if they have any computers for public use but I did find out they have free Wi-Fi....so I will have to go check it out, I know the Multnomah County libraries in Portland have public computers but they…

Oh yeah.... Lenora - thanks for the post on all the different names of the generations and whatnot....I learned a lot, like I am apparently a Generation Xer when I thought all this time I was a Baby Boomer....oh well, they say X marks the spot!...lol...I love Latin and have always wanted to learn it since I was younger and…

Hey now.... Whew!!....what a busy day!!...kinda ran into a snafu today though, I am going to have to put off being the blog updater for Dufur as my cheapo android tablet is unfortunately not able to handle the task very well, the webmaster I met with today suggested I invest in a decent laptop if I really want to do this,…

Meredith - Wow! Jos, Nigeria....I'm gonna check that out on Google Earth....don't mind me too much....I'm pretty harmless....I just do a lot of what I call "couch traveling" since I have never been outside of the lower 48 states and envy those who do get to travel or live in weird or exotic places....welcome to the…

Hey now..... Sorry I've been kinda sidetracked with dinner and movies and walking (just got back, 5 blocks up, 2 blocks over, 5 blocks down and 3 blocks back home, it's a new record for me from the 3 blocks up,1 block over, 3 blocks back and 1 block home I used to do at the old house...) and PT exercises.....haven't logged…

Katiebug - yeah, it's a tablet....thanks for the screenshot....I figured the iPhone app would have it.....I will have to download it for my iPhone since I take pics with it anyway....I wonder why they didn't put it in the android app???....that's kinda strange.... Sherry in "what should I have for dinner?" Dufur

I've been sitting here looking at all my new wonderful stuff in awe and wonder....guess I should probably fold it all up and go put it away....lol.....I can't help that I'm just a little kid at heart!....lol....the boots fit perfectly and are nice and warm....they will be great for my walks in the snow....never had Muk…

Lenora - I wanna see pics of those flamingo slippers gosh dangit!!!....lol...you sound like me, when I would "clean" my room when I was a teenager, I would scoop everything up and throw it all in my closet!...lol...you didn't dare open the doors or everything would come falling out!...I like your idea of sweeping…

Katiebug - that's such a cute name for you, lol....on my app (android) it doesn't have the little camera thingy....in place of it where it is on the website is an icon for emojis/emoticons instead....I tried looking everywhere on this app in every place I could find on it for a way to post pics from it, but alas found…

Katiebug - I like calling you that, hope you don't mind....glad you got some good sleep....I know how you feel with the sleeping situation and pain waking you up....I had that problem last night and I hurt real bad this morning but since I got moving more today it is letting up some, so that's a good thing.....girlfriend,…

Charleen - what a beautiful living room (?) and tree!!!....I sure miss having a fireplace....I'll just look at the pic of your's and pretend I feel the warmth from it, lol.... I sure hope everybody has an awesome Christmas this year!!! Sherry in "feelin' kinda special" Dufur

OK, back on the app....the website takes forever to do anything on....why is that??....I wish they would make it so you can post photos from the app!!.... Oh yeah, there is a pretty purple sweater in there too....she knows purple is my most fav color of all.... I'm so excited!!...new clothes, new hat, new boots and stuff…

OK, jeez that always takes two forevers.....here they are....I got a pretty purple and silver striped sweatshirt, a warm fuzzy fleece type sweatshirt, a long sleeve top that is thinner and good for layering, a pair of fuzzy "Hello Kitty" jammie bottoms, a wool knitted hat from "Turtle Fur" (a company in Vermont), a jar of…

Hey now.... Just got back from my walk....got 2,500 steps in, that's over half of my goal....but that's not the best part....when I checked my mail the postman caught me and told me I had a big package (the mail truck was 3 hours late today) and said he hadn't put a package notice in my box yet as he was still distributing…

Before I forget.... Hey KJ - can I come and play with the play-doh too??....lol...I used to love that stuff when I was a kid, had the play-doh fun factory (I think that's what is was called) too!!...I promise I won't throw it!...lol... Later peeps!! Sherry in "it's getting warmer here" Dufur

Hey now..... Allie - lol, I downloaded that app too!! I haven't tried it yet but I will in a day or two....you say it's much better with headphones??...I will have to use mine then, right off the bat....I downloaded soooo many apps I'm surprised I didn't go over on my data plan on my phone, lol....thankfully I bought a…

Hey now..... "Alvin and The Chipmunks" was hilarious as usual, cheered me right up!...I especially love the part where they are in the recording studio and that guy gives them chocolate caramel frappacinos or whatever they are (some sort of coffee drink with chocolate and caramel) and they start bouncing off the…

Hey now..... Yesterday I didn't post here, didn't log any food because I didn't eat, didn't go for my walk, didn't do my PT exercises, no housecleaning, no shower.....no nothing......I didn't feel very good about myself or my life and basically cried most of the day.......not having any family or friends nearby to talk to…

Hey now..... Katla - I have my fingers crossed too, but we shall see....I'm not having the best of luck even getting service but maybe this time it will happen....those books sound awesome!....I like stuff like that so I will have to see if I can find them in the Multnomah County Library as I still have a library card with…

Thought that since a lot of us have ongoing health problems and have to deal with the rediculous hoops of insurance that you all might take an interest in this:…

DJ!!!! - your here!!! Big waves!!!! Sounds like you have been super busy!....I don't envy you the job of having an estate sale.....before I moved into this motorhome I had to get rid of a lot of stuff so I thought I would be smart and have a yard/garage sale one weekend....it only lasted one weekend and I swear I will…

Hey now..... YAY!! I got two Christmas cards in the mail today from two lovely ladies here.....you both know who you are!!.....not just one but two!!!....and they are beautiful cards!!....ladies I will be sending ones back to you both, I hope they make it there in time for Christmas.....I will take another walk later…

Toni - thanks for the hug hun, I think the worst part of it was they charged my debit card $19.95 as a processing fee.....I feel like I paid to be treated like that.....and of course it's gonna take 5 days to get my money back because when they want your money they'll take it right out right away but when it comes to…

I've calmed down now....I'm still pissed because I can't stand incompetence, especially when you have been trained to do a job and don't do it....there is no excuse for this, with sooo many people out of work it just makes me angry when people are lazy and think they won't get fired for not doing their job and there are…

OK, now I am really pissed off!!!!!!!!!!! The tech left here without hooking me up because apparently DirecTV doesn't allow the techs to hook up service to motorhomes or trailers and I told the stupid woman when I set up this account that I live in a freakin' motorhome in a freakin' RV park!!!!!! Grrrrrrr!!!!! Makes me…
