  • celebrating little victories

    add a pack of smokes to the roommate and I made out for the foreign joy at the blue nile gas and food but didn’t see a gas pump so therefore was ready to giggle somehow :D   the coffee is for coffee but the tamarind is for sweet and sour NOTHING

     

    next DOOR is the liquor STORE, so I set my bag down at the register- makes them feel like you don’t intend to steal from them :D be nice to your foreign smart owner/managers- they’re not stupid.  I bout my second required jug of jug wine for the jug ;) to make dandelion wine. now i liter should be just enough to get one 750ml clear pretty bottle of wine after a few months.pus a taste.  but it’s a chablis meaning I ultimately will consider my foray into winemaking to be with chablis yeast.  rossi to the rescue both in wine and wine making essentials!

     

    next I walked over to the family dollar and found not the bottle brush to clean these jugs multiple times but  sugar creamer dispensers similar to

    this is to cut down on the damnit of a counter coated in sugar that gets wet and must be chisled daily off.

     

    this lead to getting a cloth bag as I had too much stuff. but I like dollar stores as 3 bucks for shit I can’t find anywhere else half the time is darling!

     

    I then went to find a phone and I did sucess! it was in use .shit- so I walked to the direction of my mothers and ..stoped into the indian grocery.

    Amaranth brittle… I really should read the english on the lable- I am ordinarily not found of amaranth :D but it’s alll right.  tasty stuff. 

    can’t show you the box as I left it at mom’s but bourbon flavored chocolate cookies?fairly popular not here in the usa.??

    a bottle of salt- yes I finally broke down and bought salt for the first time in a year .  damn it.

    while it isn’t this exat pictured one- it’s tomato vegetable- I’m looking forward to trying it in sourcream as I make odd dips for chips sooo odd they’re not onion soup ooo. but knorr? let’s see if maggi  everyone think of the simplson’s baby pacifiering :D   what I’m interested to findout is that the dried cabbage that is a first vegetable ingredient outside of starches is the magic over carrot which is knorr’s beauty.

    by now I’m in loop to walk to my moms I just don’t want to admit it but i see the traffic at a crawl and I can justify fifteen minutes worth of walk because of lazy…evenif I already walked that.  so I stop into king soopers grocery because I’ve learned my mom shops for one and i don’t recognize what there is to eat …yes, mr cook is often stumped at mom’s :D ;)   some people either eat healthy or weird.  

    asparagus frozen

    black forest ham sliced

    cheese of the muenster

    tortillas of the small flour kind

    lean cuisine one shrimp of the lemon garlic

    leancusine 2 meatloaf of the never adventures

     

     

    this meant my mom just ate and doesn’t like asparagus thus I took that home so much for asparagus rollup :D   I also misjudged as ma’am no adventure liked the sound of the shrimp over the meatloaf  lol, but :D I’ll go out and make more asparagus something or other son enough and  thus.  is the picture difference of what happens when you

     

    visit a collection agency and they reverse a bil out of collections-  celebrate with me that I MAY have dodged a ding on credit- just one minor victory ;)

    $10.42 2 @ 99 1 @ 1.99 &  smokes * I neglected a can of peach nectar to the above list.

    $7.02 rossi

    $3.27 2 sugar dispensers and a cloth bag

    $7.22 britannia brand bourbon flavor chocolate biscuits *cookies to americans, deep amaranth brittle, salt.

    $19.39 4.09! it’s 1.99 at the commisary for asparagus spears frozen…2.28 ham, 2.66 cheese, 2.29 tortillas, 2.38 meatloaf, 2.75 shrimple meals tax as applicable.

     in case anyone wonders why I’d spend more to celebrate a 29.54 bill for services saved from collections… well you don’t show to mom’s empty handed and you wont really be savingmoney on bills but it’s nice that it’s not a ding. – either way I expected to be out of the cash plus.  I wasn’t at the collections joint so ;) the day was fulfilled far more joyously :D

  • fields of gold- reprise

    it’s coming up march and all too soon it’ll be spring and summer all over again.  I have and empty jug of wine.  I can get more   will I get around to dandelion wine this time?

    • 2 qts dandelion flowers
    • 2½ lbs granulated sugar
    • 4 oranges (juice only)
    • 1 gallon water
    • 1 tsp yeast nutrient

    here in contain a lesson on yeast:

    “One year the [batch] may be award-winning but could equally be putrid. No one group of yeast (beer or wine) was more successful at producing a tasty {batch} than the other”

  • stop gap

    SOME PEOPLE insist.  we have something relevant to say.  Most People are impatient.  To add fuel to this fire, one must also be timely and consistant too.  Bog all.

    I went to a food bank on my downward spiral of a success story: 

    I was surprised at the large amount of bread of a poppyseed nature that entered my hands.  I adore poppyseed anything.  I think mythbusters proved positively that if you intend to pass a whiz quiz to work in the USA and many other places that you are getting high on opiates by consuming poppyseeded products.  I was told my proof of social security or ability to work in the USA wasn’t required for papers.  however proof of legal address and your id doesn’t count even with current address on it- most certainly does.  I walked up a nice big ole flight of stairs proving I’m able bodied for the help… no elevator or ada access to be seen.  if one was willing to climb another flight of stairs one could investigate the “job fair.”- all of the stairs had a defining metaphor of how much work are you going to invest in both yourself and how high you want to go towards heaven….you exist back on the lowest floor either way.  do not be mislead I am very grateful a few kindly items will go a long way in improving my mood and days.  I find it most disconcerting that I went when I didn’t need the help in the first place and qualify anyways.

    in a fit of utter rebellion I sit here  with a rum and coke diabetes and all,  having been out with artist guy wishing to make his videos and die.  I’m not sure you get the full impact of this but it costs to be that negative influence in others days taking my good vibe precious amount for amount.  I must appologize profusely to the universe at large that I haven’t spread the jam of smiles sweet as far and as generously as I should because today with the example of company ….slap slapslap wake up call I’m not guilty do not you worry I’m perfect in every way, just pretending to be human for you readers!….it’s just tough to try when someone needs it whether they know it or not.  from ideas   for future reference – if you ever need to film a video in a place where you otherwise pay for the privilage- bring a can

    edit, bring a cancer bag.  seriously- a big old pink susan b coleman for the cure cancer bag…  this goes a long way in an instant of conniving a free access do not make a scene snapping your scene and do NOT film anything with the company logo :D

    as for how it turned out? um, maybe I got something usuably filmed :D   maybe I’m the next schlock genius. – you’ll not they’re not posted :D   save this

      free to note as crappy as that camera view is, it is about the equivalent of what I see in comparison to you….if not yet still better :D …and why I’m a bit pleased I didn’t get ran over as you can see for yourself that I’m reach out and touch the cars close…)

    the point to the hard to be about fellow is that in absolute rebellion to  someone trying to ber positive with oh a song called “the path that showed me the way” issssssssssssssssss

    walk down the street stopping at a school snapping that view then thepath straight to the bar.

    so, as you can see or at least sense, my day was well spent adventuring.

    credit where credit is due:

    I thank organized religion..ain’t it awesome?

    myers dark rum and coca cola on ice.

    courtyard by marriot  for being polite

    artist guy for the ride about education.

    multiple cars for not running me over because I was walking in the road filming the walk not watching about me.

  • when it ISN”T love

    80′s pop ”music” is ever so much blissful fun to look back upon and remember if we’re so lucky to remember that when..but also the now. when it turns out life isn’t always beach dates, beer and derrier by moonlight.  sometimes life is, oh blankity deitity durn it!  I don’t need this!  So, for the time’s when it is most surely NOT a Van Hagar tune “When It’s Love” but when the power of love – a fine Huey Lewis and the News tune from “Back To The Future” is just the power of atouch, from what happens of that different kind of love…procreative encounters of the unwanted kinds.

    the shower of bugs.
    -
    the power of sex is a seditious thing
    them little creeps get it on- and soon there’s an army of them things
    drill your holes through my floor and walls,
    all because you didn’t chaulk, now I’ve a shower of bugs.

    been seven months none to be seen
    now here ‘gain thanks to some cable scheme
    I pay ontime and good now get ‘em gone alright?
    a shower of bugs  pings off everything tonight

    chorus 1:
    I’ve paid good money- this is lame.
    don’t need no dullard  bringing my home such shame
    I might wax poetic-being clear as mud sometimes
    but on this you can bet your life
    I don’t need no shower of bugs
    I don’t need no shower of bugs

    at first you’ll here of it- you’ll swear they’re mad
    next time you’ll be tickled – you won’t feel glad
    get ‘em gone -not maybe-please make it soon
    not next month, or next JUNE, and keep an eye on that baffoon

    chorus 2:
    I’ve paid good money- this is lame.
    don’t need no dullard  bringing my home such shame
    I might wax poetic-being clear as mud sometimes
    but I don’t need no bugs in my life

    blame game says I brought them here
    which I haven’t so we’re clear
    as vassle to this castle,
    I don’t need this hassel
    so how’s about a date with the spray?
    and a call to admit you read this?
    hmn?

    Chorus 3 :

    I’ve paid good money- this is lame.
    don’t need no dullard  bringing my home such shame
    “Ew!, Gross!” I’ve heard the squeal
    living with bugs ain’t no part of my rental deal
    I don’t need no shower of bugs
    I don’t need no shower of bugs
    sick of glowering at bugs
    infesting furniture and my rugs
    how’s about we chat when you’re ridding me of BUGS

    I lacked ‘net so I wrote these then transcribed.    it is a simple enough feature of ms office/word to make the columns.  it is simple to add space in right justification hence the periods.. no I can’t change font color swiftly to hide them.   save, control print screen,  then paste with ms paint most windows machines this is free and within start, all programs, accessories, paint.  as pdf to make the cleanest biggest view, adjest the pieces placement with select rectangularlar select.   voila – this paragraph here took longer to write than the picture to edit.
