March 13

We had the boy last night and tonight because sister went to Little Rock for a checkup.  Sister is fine, boy is having a great time.  Grandpa took him to school today and Grandma picked him up.  

We are having Arizona weather, in upper 70's yesterday and today.  Is supposed to be this way all week.

March 11, Sunday

The girl watching cartoons.

The girl mad at Grandma for standing in front of cartoons.

The boy shoots grandma just for the fun of it.  

They had a good time this weekend.  Got new toy Friday, then another new toy Saturday pulse got to eat at the big M.  When Papa was helping boy get ready to go home today, Robert said 'Papa, I like coming to your house.

It has rained all day. Thursday night, March 8,   we had a heavy frost, and a light frost March 9th, so I am guessing my peaches and nectarines are gone and maybe even the apples.  I think it is supposed to be nice this week.

George is going to dig footings for neighbor Combs outbuilding this week and then he will take the backhoe off the tractor so he can till the garden.  Fields are greening up all over and the elms and cherries have leaves on them.  Soon, the dogwoods will be in bloom.  The forsythias are in bloom now.

March 8

Rain, rain, rain. and cool.

At least I do not have to water my new dogwood tree.

Tomorrow, I am going to get the kids.  Hope we have sunshine this weekend so they can play outside.

March 6

A very windy day. And, I think it is supposed to rain tonight.  Maybe not.  I wasn't really listening when the weather was on, except they said winds to 35 mph. Other than the wind, it was a nice day.

Maybe tonight will be the end of Sanctimonious and the big Wind Bag.  I think probably Romney will pull ahead tonight, but you never know.  It is hard to predict what the brain dead will do and the Repubs have many brain dead in their ranks.

Speaking of Brain Dead, maybe Rush Limbaugh's boss should have a talk with him about his language.  Know who his boss is?  The above Romney.  Yes, Bain Captial.  

Off to bed early tonight.  Back to work tomorrow and it is downhill from their.

March 5

The little black goat, Myrtle, is trying to eat a plastic bottle.  I think she finally gave up and went back to grass.

It was a fairly nice day, but still a little windy.  And, KY3 says the winds will pick up tomorrow.

My directv dispute made me so mad, I canceled the card number I gave to them, and because the card company did not help, I am canceling my account with that bank.  Well, not canceling, since I have another credit card with them with a balance.  I am canceling the debit card they charge me for and taking my balance with them down to only a few $.  They are not my main bank, just the work CU.  I should have canceled the account a long time ago as they charge me a monthly charge for the debit card and my real bank has completely free checking and debit card services.

Then I emailed the details of my dispute with DIRECTV to our state Attorney General's office and the state consumer affairs.  Then I called DIRECTV agian, twice, just to complain.  The second person I spoke with, Andy at DRIECTV, said my account was closed.  I told him I bet a $ to a donut the service man showed up at my house Thursday to install the equipment, because I think you are all just saying this to get me to hang up.  Then I asked Andy for a confirmation number for the cancellation.  It took Andy a while to get that confirmation number. I suspect that is because he was lying about the entire thing.  The information they emailed to me said after 24 hours they charge $480 as an early cancellation fee if you cancel before the end of the contract. I really believe they would have tried to charge this to my card later on and they still may try to bill me.  Does that sound like Patsy?

I really think companies make it difficult to do these things because many people just give up.

March 4th

This was taken with the webcam on my computer.  It is a very windy day.  George is down at the Marr neighbors helping their son set up a camper trailer.  He lives alone, his kids are all grown so he thinks this will work for him.  He is the same age as Gilbert and he has not lived here since he was about 20 or so.  I am not so sure  he will like a small camper at the parents house for full time living, but I guess he can always do something else later.

The computer is working out really well.  Except, I am have a little trouble with the email thingy.  I downloaded the email program I downloaded for Patsy and it wants  to get all the mail I have on the server from last year.  I don't think that will work.  I guess I will just use web email, but I really would rather have email on my computer.  We will see.

UPDATE: I went in on the web and deleted all my email on the server, so now I can use Thunderbird to get email on my computer instead of just web mail.  I had over 2500 messages on the server, and I picked out about 20 to save, deleting the rest.  Now I am ready to go.
