Outdoors

My Wife went to the varous stores around the area to get paint for the scrap deck, (what else to call it? We made it out of junk lumber-?shelves they ripped out of the store-> from the electrical shop next door, and the owner said it never served a better purpose LOL)...

Wife brought me all the hardware for the new swing she bought from Krogers, and, the bolts are thick enough, I dont have to replace them with stainless steel screws this time. (Last one broke on me a few times, and thats the reason I went with stainless, cause they were all brass coated and rusted through). Hopefully,. these will last as long as the swing.

My Brother in law came over, drunk as all get out, and took the other swing down his place, in his truck... My Wife had my Son help him, and if I had known he was three sheets to the wind, I would have told my Son NOT to help him!!! as it was, the sweing fell off the truck when he pulled in front of the house, just like my Wife told her Brother it would!! Blasted Drunks!! Sure am glad I gave up drinking all those years ago, and quit making a fool of myself, sheesh.

Son informed me that his plants are dying now... Gee, its not like I didnt tell him to start using some miracid on the tomato plants, to help them along, noooooooo....
He listens to his Uncle, (the drunk), and leavfes the plants outside, when its really cold, so, if they die, they die... When people dont want to listen to me, then I wash my hands of it, and let them do what they want, and let the consequences fall as it will.

I told him how, on the program HOW ITS MADE, they raised tomatoes hydroponicically, and the 'hot house' tomatos grow up to 60 feet high, and that he could use some of that knowledge to get his plants going...but, NOOOO... ol College Boy doesnt think that Dad knows what he is talking about, nor, does he want to listen to reason and rhyme, so, his plants will die and we will end up buying tomato plants from the Nursery again, as usual.

Though, his Parsley and some other herbs are coming up now... Wonder how long before they start buying the farm too?

I went to exercise yesterday, and they had the weighing machine there...(fancy scale that actually can measure huge men like me LOL). It seems I gained a few pounds, but, even my Wife said Im swelling up with water again. Three pounds show up in my feet, and they hurt!! sheesh. The tops of them are 'raw' like a blister that keeps getting irritated, (because of the expansion and contraction of water coming and going).
No amount of pain meds will cancel out 'that' pain, but a good heating pad, helps cancel the pain out. Ive been sleeping with one for the past couple of days now, so I can 'get' a good night sleep, instead of the foot, aching all night long.

I reckon Congestive Heart Failure isnt the fun thing to do, anymore, eh? hmmmm....

Doctor called for my Wife, (her blood tests that she took when I was there), and she needs to take 2,000mg of calcium a day now. Lets see, he didnt tell her to take any other med to kick the calcium in, since a lot of those things are co-dependent on other stuff, so I will have to look it up on the net, after while.

This was the last day for the Visiting Nurse! And, as per usual, (the only Nurse that seemed to know what she is doing, and I like), she was later again!! Wife was wanting me to get rid of them, simply because they 'are' late all the time, and I was going to tell her, that it was going to be her last visit, but, she beat me to it, and told me that the Insurance Company discontinued them. Well, it only made sense, since they were not going to take my blood, but once a month, and still come anyways to take my blood pressure and temp...Uh, my Wife can do that much, sheesh! (Course, if she takes my pulse and tells me my heart rate is elevated, Im going to blame that on her ROTFLOL ).

Wife sent my Son down to a place that is being remodeled, (something to do with the Gas Wells they are drilling, for the Marsellas Shale around these parts of the woods), and she was wanting him to drop and application in there. Well, it was locked up tighter than a drum, cause no one was working there, AND, the last thing she said to me, before she left for stores unknown, was, "If he comes back and tells you he left his application with some one, he owes me a dinner, cause there is 'nobody' there"!!!! WHA???? You upset my Son, by sending him on a wild goose chase, (he knew there would only be construction workers, if anyone, at the place, cause they have to remodel the buildings into offices, in order to move in), and you 'know' there isnt going to be anyone there? hooooo boy!!! Not a good way to keep living relationship going between Mother and Son LOL... (Yea, and, big blabber mouth me, told my Son that she said it, so that didnt help... I expect the fireworks to start if she asks him about that application, sheesh) LOL...

OK, going to call it a day for this blogg, and maybe write another day, if the Good LORD be willing.

I wish you well...
