The bird is the word.....
Other than that....nadda....kind of chilly here today, was out new truck hunting. Guess I'm going to try a Toyota Tundra 4x4 this time.
Ooooh, new truck hunting is fun... except for all that dreary time spent inside the dealership.
But once you bag one and bring it home.... SCHWEEEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!! Ours is still new enough that everytime I go out to get in it, I just smile and give it a pat and tell it how beautiful it is.

Me too. If I'm going to work god awful amount of time I'd like to be paid for it dammit!! The time off for the holidays kind of slowed things down. I've submitted the application, did the tests so now I just wait. Not patiently either I might add.
I don't think I've ever done anything patiently in my life.
Even though I was more patient with my son than I've ever been able to be with anyone else, anytime, anywhere.... I really can't say I raised him patiently. Andria
Trust me Andria when I tell you that patience is not one of my strong suits. When I want something, I don't want it tomorrow or next week, I want it NOW!!!I don't think I've ever done anything patiently in my life.

Well, that was about 45 mins ago... and I'll be heading to bed in about 45 mins from now. Reading a really good vampire tale at the moment, with a heroine as klutzy and awkward and geeky and generally demented as I am.

Insurance payment use to really torque me up because I looked one time and seen they was charging like %25 interest on the payments, then I found out how to get around it. I just dont pay the payment but pay what I want. I do the 6 month also but a month or even 2 months before its due for renewal I will send them a couple hundred, then the month it is due I will do it again before the due date. Then the next couple months I will pay it off. Havent paid a cent in interest in the last 8 to 10 years and not a damn thing they can do about it.
Morning fugee's and GFY
I hope today is better day than yesterday. Yesterday I woke up, took Rascal out to do his business, came in and just finished making coffee when the ex calls me. After all the storming yesterday a circuit breaker in her moms place started popping and now most of her place has no power. Mind ya I only been awake 15 minutes before the call and coffee is just made and she wants me to kick my mind into troubleshooting mode.... doesnt work that way, gotta get the blood flowing first,
About 45 minutes later I get over there and spent the next 5 to 6 hours taking ever single wall socket out, looking them over for burnt wires or problems and putting them back together. Never could find the problem but I am pretty sure she has a burnt wire somewhere in the walls and now it s a dangerous situation. Then my mom calls the ex looking for me, I forgot my cell at home. My mom just wrecked her car. Some 17 year old kid decided to share the lane with her and plowed into her car. When it rains, it pours. Last night I must of been wiped out for I remember watching the newest NCIS and thats it. I woke up 6 hours later at 2 am still reclined on the couch with Rascals head in my lap snoring loudly.
I hope today is better.....

I'll clarify myself here. My intention is merely to express an "oh wow! $3,000 for a pair of boots". For myself I would be fortunate to have my wife spend a little over $100 for a pair of good steel toe & shank pair of work boots. Again, just for myself and my humble view of the world in general and at large, could not see ever paying over $200 for a pair of boots/shoes. Most oft I buy the "old fart" tennis shoes, or canvas boater shoes what if they're expensive ones run $20 a pair.
Again this is merely my humbled and subjective opinion. I'm not saying good or bad about anyone paying whatever they desire for whatever they desire. I'm merely a bit in awe of such a 'market' where such expenses / costs can exists and customers willing pay it. It genuinely is stunning and at times dumbfounding in my view, considering folks don't eat. *sigh* Well, it'll be what it'll be. I'm just befuddled. That's not really anything new though. *smh*

So far, my day seems cold outside. We're having the dreary rainy days
of Winter leading up to February to April. The hopes are that by April
it'll all finish up and we fare off.
Been looking at some of the wire display racks brought in here. I'm
seeing a few different keen ways to use them in general trellis for
gardening. I think this year I might try to talk father in law to
letting me and Chris do up some smaller gardening.
Seems like every year we've put out the larger garden all the tending
of it falls to me. That's fine up to a point but it can become arduous
upon a body to frustration, "hey y'all eat garden food too, ya can help
growing or not eat." Figure such spoke aloud would rain more trouble
than worth the bother.
Me and Chris one time put up some basic common sense guidelines and
asked for help doing housework. They got pissed off and left. Our
guidelines included simple things, "make a mess, clean it up", "wash up
a load of dishes after each meal, keep us ahead", "do a monthly cobweb
sweep", "sweep the floor at least weekly", "take trash up", "put your
stuff up where you know where it is, put your stuff up".
Aw well, life be life and it going to be what it'll be. Got done
building a nice Clapton coil on the Narda running about 0.65Ω s. It is
doing really nicely. I wicked with Rayon, of course. Got the main wick
in and saw I had a gap. I added a secondary bit of wick crossing to the
other sides. It's an X wick. *chuckles*
I might not get cloud enough to fill a room. That's alright by me
though. I do get a cloud now and then which is reasonably big thick,
it lingers just a few seconds. For me that suits as far as clouds.
Think I ought to wish for being more like me. I try being humble and
moderate.
Y'all run 'er slow. Loves y'all.

Ha! You could claim doing business that way is your religious right. Think a good many Christians ought to recall Isu/Jesus upturning the money changers booths in the town square and cursing them for the sin of usury on loans. So, yes in religion it is a sin to pay interest on loans, fees and you could make that as a wholly valid point of your religious belief. By Constitutional law you would be on solid grounds as none can hinder your religious practices, so long as they harm no one else nor destroy anyone else's property. Hehe, "Your Honor, it is against my religion to pay usury. I therefore refuse paying usury by divine and legal right."
My take on that is that it was a sin to be money changing in the temple. Was OK everywhere else.
But it was what got Jesus crucified by the Jews. Yeah the Romans did it AT the request of the Jewish religious leaders.

You all better now? People are coughing all over at work here. Hope I don't catch anything.
Still have a UTI. Aside from that all is well.
Went to Wally World yesterday and the cold medicine shelves looked like the milk and bread shelves if they predict snow here.
I did not have a cold just some nasty viral intestinal thing.

Well, our budget prevents us from being able to send in huge payments at any one time. The only reason we'll be able to prepay our escrow shortfall is with our state tax refund.
Just like when we moved here and had to get a refrigerator -- no way in hell we could afford $1000 or more for a fridge as big as we really needed, so our only option was Aaron. Sure we paid a LOT more than it was really worth, but we were able to pay it as we could afford it, $80 a month for 2 yrs, then it was ours. We couldn't have gotten it on credit, because at that time, our credit was completely maxed out -- I had to get a cash advance on my VISA just to pay the closing costs, because they decided that since we bought in Sept, they'd go ahead and throw in the 3 months of property tax for the rest of the year -- SURPRISE!
Poor people don't have nearly as many options.

GEEZERS! Lots of liquids.
Quite true indeed. Something I am now doing involves getting a bit of education as means to help perhaps improve me and wife's situation. She brought in a text book on programming in Cobol, got started reading into it today. I'm also setting up my computer to be a leaner Cobol development environment, also looking at learning Pascal as well for a bit of fun. Cobol is used in a lot of business applications, one right off hand? Cobol is the back end programming that lets everyone use ATM (Automatic Transaction/Teller Machines). It is used for inventory control, budgeting and a lot of other various aspects of business.
This I'm doing in order to help us out, as well as having a desire for structure, having something to do which I might enjoy at least a bit. Not sure it is something that I would select as a choice as it also means more than likely, I'll need to 'spruce' up, be more visible and around people. I might luck out and find telecommuting work but at entry level figure that will be rare to none. Have to do it though, need a means to make a means and I cannot handle a lot of heavy duty 'general' labor any longer, would if could but I'm not 17 and don't bounce as well as I once did.
Also, today I found you can compare apples & oranges.

I'm going to be embarking on something similar, trying to learn Java so that maybe I can learn to develop apps for Android; not so much for income potential, though if successful, that might be a possibility for the future, but just because 1) I'm a geek, 2) I need a new tech project, and 3) smartphones are really where it's at, these days.
In the past, I was never very good at "real programming," but I mastered DOS, batch files with their errorlevels, and learned to speak HTML/CSS nearly as well as I speak English, so I refuse to believe that I'm *incapable* of learning programming. But I'm definitely starting with the "for dummies" books.
For budgetary considerations, I'm just going to continue doing as I have been: accounting for every last cent, analysis of how we might structure things more intelligently, and restraining any wild spending (mostly on my husband; I'm a tightwad, he's more of a spendthrift.
). Things are improving all the time, it's just that with my mom's death and a few other changes, some re-analysis and re-structuring has become necessary.Andria

Religion has nuttin to do with gettin pissed when finding out your being robbed. Wasnt a finance company I was paying my insurance notes to, it was the greedy insurance company,
When I started this practice I was pretty much paycheck to paycheck. The only reason I was able to start it was it was during tax refund time. Since then its now just habit and have saved me hundreds thru the years. You have to pay the insurance regardless, As you said you pay 6 months worth in 4 monthly payments. On the fifth month, go ahead and send them an extra payment. Six month you have your renewal, know what your premium is so subtract what you already sent and split the rest up into three payments and ignore the monthly notes thing they send you.
That is pretty much what I do. My insurance is @ $1100 every six months for three vehicles. I will send them $250 the month before it is due, another $250 the week it renews and then pay the $600 still due over the next couple months and I haven't paid a cent in interest since I started doing this. It saves me around $250 every six months.
Something else about insurance renewal yall, Never ever go into their office to renew. When you do they run your license, That is a $20 fee per person on the policy, If you renew it by check or online like I do you save yourself that fee. Pus if you have any tickets, it doesnt count against your policy price.
Before I started doing it online we went in once to renew, the gf had a couple tickets and the renewal price went up. If we never went in it would of never went up in price. Something to remember.

We wouldn't know where to go, to do it in person. We just automatically renew, every 6 months. Everything is either on the phone (any communications) or online (payments and cards). We're with USAA, since my husband is a former Marine.

No (as much as I'd like to), this is for my pretty mug. lol
I understand your viewpoint in your effort to not place blame upon religion, genuinely do. That noted there's aspects of society which are in due course influenced by religion, in many ways people might not normally see clearly. The fact of Free Trade & Fractional Banking existing can to a degree be found in a Latin word first established by the Holy Roman Church, that word is mortgage. Mortgage literally translates as " I will pay the debt owed upon forfeiture of my life, I will die based on my oath to pay." Fractional banking comes into play then with this, you borrow money for a car purchase, you pay usury or interest on the loan.
Insurance also uses fractional banking based services. What insurance is, is basically private loss protection at the expense of the public. You crash your car and two hundred other folks who pay your insurance company's usury, fees, they chip in and help pay for another car for you, pay medical bills and so on. The insurance company does this by assigning a fraction, or percentage each user of their services chips in. This is why there are continual rate raises and fewer rate reductions, humans are simply accident prone, more so than not. Going back to the word mortgage, well, it is the same exact principle. They even call your loan amount the "principle", you're paying on the oath of your death, you pay the usury or interest.
Why did the Holy Roman Church allow such a thing to be if their great teach Christ, taught usury was a sin? Well, look at the Vatican, the greatest icon and representation of what is considered Orthodox Christianity. The Vatican is quite possibly the world's largest bank. Guess what happened to all those properties in med-evil times that buyers could not afford paying a mortgage on. The Church at the time did indeed rule the State, was the State directly in many cases. They foreclosed on those property owners, the property owners could remain on the property as tenets, serfs working farms. All the farm's product was collected then by the Church for the sake of serving to further Christendom, the Crusades, the Inquisitions. This where we get the term blackmail, the serfs brought the mail or product to the Church, who then went down in the ledger books in the black, not red.
Ergo, it was blackmail.It comes back round to the insurance companies in the fact that insurance companies too use banks, use fractional banking systems to tally up protecting private property at the expense of the public. The smart money for someone would be to save up for the cost of a decent used car, buy it flat out cash in hand. Then, that person could bank a percent of their own income as 'emergency' funds to cover a car crash, medical bills and so on. We live in a society that by the influence of religion has adopted to not follow such a course, it's far better to use socialism, all in to aid the greater good of all. That comes from the Holy Roman Church still acting to further the better interests of Christendom, ergo we have usury or interest upon principles. We lack principles, ergo others lend them to us and collect a tidy fee for it.
Bah, apologies for coming over maybe as some know all or professor, or snot ass 'kid' thinking they know all. I do not know all, but this aspect of life I've looked at many various ways, upside down, backwards, sideways too. Deconstructionism is a crucial part of social engineering, it lets you act as Nietzsche suggests, break it all apart and recompile it to learn how it works. When you have someone using psychological warfare and abusive tactics, religion, lies against you, it kind of inspires you learn more about all of that, to understand how it works, to use against or to find the remedy. One I saw was Jesus tipping up the tables of those charging usury and condemning usury as a sin. I've seen another as well, let go of attachment and desire. It's proving harder than expected.
Just odd question for you ... know anyone what is a knife smith? I mean that as in someone who could create a decent blade or set of blades for two deer antlers I have on hand. Someone got a small buck, yearling possibly. The antlers are really nice looking for blade handles. I would even consider letting such a smith have one of the knives made as payment. Not looking for anything extremely fancy, simple straight old boot 'bowie/buck' type of knife for field work, maybe shiny stainless.

Naaa, your not coming off as some know all or professor, or snot ass 'kid' thinking they know all, but you missed the mark by a few miles and that was beautifully written and has nothing to do with the underlying aspect of I dont like paying asinine interest rates for insurance payment, thats all
As for knife making, wish I could help. There is a FB page on home made knife makers you might want to check out. I wish I could and it dont sound that hard but I have way to many irons in the fire to take on a new project like knife making right now. I havent even had a chance to shoot any of my black powder guns since probably September and I love to shoot. Have a new 32 cal rifle kit to make that I havent had a chance to do more than look at the kit.

Sorry to hear that Lucy, is that kinda like Herpes Simplex 39? Wait, thats something Hank would have....... You been around hank again?
Wouldn't touch that miscreant even with your junk, Chop
Naaa, your not coming off as some know all or professor, or snot ass 'kid' thinking they know all, but you missed the mark by a few miles and that was beautifully written and has nothing to do with the underlying aspect of I dont like paying asinine interest rates for insurance payment, thats all
As for knife making, wish I could help. There is a FB page on home made knife makers you might want to check out. I wish I could and it dont sound that hard but I have way to many irons in the fire to take on a new project like knife making right now. I havent even had a chance to shoot any of my black powder guns since probably September and I love to shoot. Have a new 32 cal rifle kit to make that I havent had a chance to do more than look at the kit.
You need to find time for that 32 cal. I think it would do you a world of good to build the kit as a meditation. Then, imagine the damn insurance agent as a target, let loose for center mass. "Here's your interest rates!"
I used to do similar with a 20lbs sledge hammer when rebuilding or scrapping old wood apple bins. Felt real good to bring it down onto a scraped bin, stop just a hair above the concrete of the outdoor bay, wood shattering and flying to oblivion.
That was the last job I worked. I used to get 25-30 boxes rebuilt in a rough eight hours. Another guy even with six others 'helping' would only do 5. *smh*Yeah, i missed the being pissed off. I try to avoid that, even knowing it from other folks. Spent too much of my life pissed off myself to enjoy the chill it settles in over me. So, yeah go get the gun built. Sounds like you need some form of imaginative release of *ahem* darker thoughts, in a safe manner.
Facebook knife smiths? Hm, I'll have to get the wife to look that up then point me there. I am on Fake Book but only so much as just a pointer for her. "Look, there's my hubby.
" Not really so keen to hob knob with click/clique society, they rave so over this thing called fashion, trends. While I'm here let me kick this
out the way so we can
