911 calls

Be careful when you call 911... you may just end up on the news... or in someone's blog... Like these 2...

This 1st one is very understandable why the gentleman called 911, had he called a tad earlier the police may have seen it 1st hand. HOWEVER... all is not lost on this one... The lady admitted to actually driving AND breastfeeding her baby AND talking on the cell phone. (Wait... how many hands does that lady have?) She now faces possible charges for child endangerment.

Now, the next one... Well, this is one of them you hear & you think... "You can't be serious??!!" Just click on that link (when you get there, click on the picture) & you'll hear what I mean. After your read that short article... click the "see also" link & read that... & Read the "FYI" at the end.

I would like to nominate this lady for the Darwin Award 2009.

Yeah, I know... I know... this maybe old news to a few of you... but there are some I'm sure haven't heard these yet.

Well, that's all for today! Toodles!!

so I only have to tell this story once... (contacts ONLY!)

This is for my contacts ONLY! Mainly so I don't have to worry my dad!!

I fell again today! This time it was not down icy concrete steps... This time I tripped over my dog, Coleman... he decided to take off a different way (to go chase after other dogs across the street) from where we were going. He got under my feet, between my legs... or something... happened so fast I don't quite remember. I just recall that I was trying to avoid crushing the poor thing while I was falling. I must have been 1/2 on the pavement of our driveway & 1/2 on the alley blacktop to have lost my balance so quickly.

I'm ok... no broken bones. But I fell hard enough that I scraped my right knee, (I'm going to be 40 in 18 days... I thought I was done with scraped knees! GEESH!) & my right hand a little. My back is getting a little stiff... & I'm sure it will be sore tomorrow!! At least it's no where near as bad as last year!!

Har hmf!! Just as my back was starting to feel much better... & can you believe it... IN TWO DAYS, it would have been ONE YEAR since the last major tumble I took... GOOD GRIEF, I can't win!!!

I am going to go through my messages & get something to eat. Hopefully hubby will be home by then to watch 24, so then I can just relax!

Please... be kind in the remarks... meaning don't laugh too much at me! LOL

(Hey, Hubby did when I told him over the phone! Thankfully it's actually kind of funny!!)

So, what... now I have to avoid steps in my slippers & dogs under my feet? Pretty soon I won't be able to move!!

Oh... on another note... We have NOW lost our insurance! Hubby's employer sent a letter telling him it was being canceled as of 28th of Feb... problem is, since his company employed less than 20... they don't have to offer Cobra. EEKS!!

& Hubby says with our conditions, it's going to be awful getting insurance now. (He has major asthma & I have... well, too many to list.)

Sooooo... we really need your prayers now. I know, I know... just about 1/2 the country is in the same boat.

Back to original topic...

Hmmm I can't remember... do I leave a scraped knee uncovered (no band-aid)?? Well, I cleaned the wounds with peroxide. I am going to leave the hand one open for now.

Oh & yeah... so much for my wonderful (NOT) neighbors!! Wonder if they even saw me lying there... or even heard me. GEESH! I almost called out to them to come help me... but with Coleman on the leash... & Sunny not... I just made sure I could move & decided to leave them out of it. Still... you'd think someone would have at least hollered over to me to make sure I was ok. Good grief!

Well, I'm off to go lick my wounds... (alright, not literally! Besides they already cleaned!)

Toodles!

My time for a...

How often do you frequent the front / home page (where the guest book is.) of your friends?? (Another reason I ask, is to bring attention that I've updated my home page a little... well, the "Welcome Message" that is.)

That's how I go to everyone's page.

What someone has a home page?

I just go right to the blogs via my inbox updates. I tend to forget about the home page.

Once in a while I'll check out a friends front page.

Why should I? I'm only interested in the blogs & reviews.

Not much new going on with me. Just been sleeping, or working on sites, or doing house work.

I have booked my trip to Arizona (NOT UNTIL APRIL!) to see my dad. I was able to get a great deal by doing the "Name your own price" with Priceline. Only problem is I won't be on my preferred airline... where I have built up over 15,000 frequent flyer miles. I wanted to be able to add to that so I could get a discount ticket the next time... or have the miles saved up for if I ever needed to go in a hurry. Oh well... I can't look a "gift horse" in the mouth this time. I saved over 15% on my tickets.

Oh, there is one other problem... I could not go non-stop. On the way out, I will be stopping in Dallas on the way out & Chicago on the way home. My Texas layover is only about 40 minutes... not enough time for me to have a certain friend come to the airport to see me.
She knows who she is!! Sorry girl!! Besides to do that, I suspect I would have to go through security ... & being in a place I don't know, I wouldn't want to chance it. I guess I'll just have to give her a call when I arrive! :o)

The poll I have, is something I may have asked before... but I can't remember the results & I have more passengers now... so, time for an update in results. Also, I may start using my Welcome Message box as a "blast"... if there's enough that will view it, that is.

Well, the race (NASCAR) is on... And I need to fix supper here in a few... So, I guess that's it for now.

Toodles & Hugs!!
