YPbr2, AV, Video, HDMI, In, Out, Coax OH MY

TWO HOURS. I must have taken the short bus to technology school. I just spent 2 hours trying to get my CD/DVD to play thru my TV so I could do little P&W and now I am so frustrated and mad at myself I would need 10 CD's to get settled into the throne room (Sorry Father - you are the one who gave us emotions). After manuals and calling tech support and more manuals and calling another tech support I found out I had a DVD in, when I thought I had a CD in and IT WAS WORKING THE WAY IT WAS SUPPOSED TO. I just thought maybe I was getting some free video somehow. I was telling the techie that when I put the Input on "video" I was getting a movie and he said, "well, do u maybe have a DVD in there, not a CD?" Let me see, why yes, it IS a DVD I was trying to figure out the other night how to play. OH that what what I'm saying I said. Really, I CAME UNGLUED and started a yelling tirade of berating myself - right on the speaker phone (you know, for freedom of movement to dance around the TV while the techie was having me pull this and unplug that). I promise u tho...I did not backslide verbally...I did say poop and holy crap...oh well, lets go find the perfect 10 CD's...

Let's talk about SPAM...the meat kind

Spam and eggs fro breakfast today. YUM! I think if I didn't grow up on spam i would not eat it today. I think it is one of those mystery foods...but when you pair the eggs with the salt spam and toast with honey...what a combo! Like fried hot dog circles with eggs. Like chips and ice cream sandwiches, chips ahoy cookies and bologna sandwiches, tuna casserole with lots of crumbles potato chips on it, ham and cheese sandwiches with with lettuce, tomato mustard and mayo with a banana and BBQ chips, pudding over cake, depression eggs, hot green beans on a salad with ranch...oh dear...I need to go grocery shopping.

yeah, we all have our secret combos...want to share yours...we won't tell...

Parking Lot Poopy People

Honestly, I guess traffic control devices are optional to drivers AFTER entering a parking lot, you know, like turn signals must be optional for some cars. I was down in the shopping district today (OOOOooo Ulta is my new BFF. Buy some thing, get something free! AND a 60 day return policy! But I digress...) Anyway, I will admit that the way they designed the layout of these traffic control items, may contribute to the problem, however driver awareness, or lack thereof, seems to be at issue here.
I don't know if it is the phone call they are on, or trying to figure out in their head how much they have left to charge on their credit card or did they remember the coupon or what. Everyone knows what a DWI is, well, I am going to petition the law makers for a new law AND that cops can have jurisdiction on private property and can issue violations for DWHUB (Driving With Head up Butt). The penalty: they are grounded parking lots for 30 days for each traffic control device that they disregarded. They can just park on the street or get a ride...

    Beginnings and Forgiveness

    Greetings and salutations! Who knew? Thank you featherlikeabird.blogspot.com and countrygirl...imitation is the sincerity? Not so much..now taking inspiration from you heroes...yeah, much better.

    So. I always have something rattling around the brain cavity...usually scary. This week I have had occasion to forgive and it wasn't necessarily all my fault...poop, okay, it wouldn't have turned into what it became had I not fleshed out and aggravated the whole thing. Oh, I am not saying it didn't feel delish, however, now I look stupid. This is the second neighbor that had become my arch enemy (OMG - me having an enemy!).

    This week I was informing the new neighbor (A RENTER!) about a homeowners association violation he was commiting, his SECOND perpetration in ONE WEEK! ARGHHHH! (How self-righteous am I - let she who is without sin...) so I simply made the statement and he looked at me and started walking away and I said something inflammatory and it was ON! I stayed calm and smug while he railed on and on in my face, pointing about 6 inches away from my roman nose, and of course, I had to comment on what a great "pointer" he had....ooooo...now he is swearing and threatening and, of course, I had to tell him how scared I was and how I was going to "tell on him". (What am I 6?) Off he went in his truck still yelling at me down the drive and I smiled triumphantly. And the Lord spoke: "repent!" No, He just said I have to apologize...I HATE it when that happens...and as the Lord would have it, I had my chance the very next night. I apologized humbly (the dogs didn't even bark at them) to him and his girl/wife? and he said "ok". OMG, he didn't even apologize for his rantings! So, I had to forgive AGAIN! Do I rock or what! Let's keep that door of blessing open, shall we? Big Hugs! Her Highness
