A man is but the product of his thoughts--what he thinks, he becomes. Gandhi


I am only one, but still I am one.
I cannot do everything,
but still I can do something;
and because I cannot do everything,
I will not refuse to do something that I can do. edward everett hale

Doom to you who legislate evil, who make laws that make victims -- laws that make misery for the poor, that rob my destitute people of dignity, exploiting defenseless widows, taking advantage of homeless children. What will you have to say on Judgment Day, when Doomsday arrives out of the blue? Who will you get to help you? What good will your money do you? (Isaiah 10:1-3, The Message)

There is nothing in the world more beautiful than the forest clothed to its very hollows in snow. It is the still ecstasy of nature, wherein every spray, every blade of grass, every spire of reed, every intricacy of twig, is clad w/radiance. william sharp

I think no matter how old or infirm I may become, I will always plant a large garden in the spring. Who can resist the feelings of hope and joy that one gets from participating in nature's rebirth? edward giobbi

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. marcel proust

I am only one, but still I am one.I cannot do everything,but still I can do something;and because I cannot do everything,I will not refuse to do something that I can do. edward everett hale

aggravations of recent days

Friday Feb 26 = Haven't been to walgreen's since a greeting card incident but in a weak moment went. there is a sale section which sometimes has interesting even now and then useful things so i got a supplement marked 4$. when I was told that my 2 bags, mostly easter candy came to 66$ or so i said that can't be right. so, after the salesperson checked, why yes the 40$ she put on 2x, took off 1x, was still there. 36$ saved there and then. several times at walgreen's it wasn't until getting home that i discovered wrong prices (excuse--the manager doesn't usually ring things up so he might make mistakes), no dog food treats because the manager was ringing and he set the bag on the floor (great place for it--maybe a counter would be better), etc

Sat Feb 27 = joann's where 2 items in the sale/damaged area went through at regular prices even though the sale price was right below, right tight below, the regular price. when the total was 62$ for my 1 bag and i was supposed to hit correct or incorrect i said i don't think it's correct. so looking at the screen the salesperson says why yes the 40$ item is really 9.50; i asked about another item and why yes that was also done incorrectly. saved about 32$. bet the line behind me either was angry or careful for their turn

Also Sat when i got to dad's house that is for sale i noticed the breezeway door was open, one i always try to remember to push close when i leave and i knew i had closed it that am. inside, the door to the house AGAIN OPEN--the THIRD time a realtor has shown the home and left the door open so i can heat the basement, breezeway, and garage i guess. Also bedroom light left on and blinds opened to the north. Being a slow study as they say, this time i took pictures to post, called the realtor again and suggested i be notified when someone came. am i to feel blessed that the home is being shown? should be. am i to feel pissed that people are incompetent? you bet. final irony? the 2nd time the place was left open, mike came and posted a sign on the door that again was left open to please lock and close it. maybe the realtors can't read or were never taught to put things back the way they were found. lazy ahs as i say. photos to follow

Sun while trying to open a bottle of sangria the corkscrew broke off in the cork. so what to use--a knife worked slowly to dig out cork, bottle opener large and small size worked somewhat, but the curved meat pick thing that goes with old fashioned nut cracker sets would go in and dig out cork. moral always have back up corkscrew?
