News from "da house"

Well shoot, there' a reason I'm out of bed at this time of day....6am. I could give ya all the reasons, but ya only gonna git one this morn'n. I got me a doctor appointment later on an' I'm all excitis bout what we gonna argue bout when I get there. Ya see, the last "test" sciatic nerve block injection did not work. I been think'n for the last two weeks what I'm gonna jump his ass over....but then I got to think'n, I'll just sit back an' see what HE got to say.

The lumbar block injection has been decided on since the sciatic nerve block didn't do nuttin to relieve any pains. This is called choice. Now just how great would it be to get the injection today? Ha....we gonna just have us a talk an' schedule my next appointment.

Boat modification construction is complete. This sucker is ready for a few coats of automotive spray can paint.
I jut took this pic while it was still "holy cows" dark outside. I'm pretty sure it's gonna be all out of focus an' a low quality photo. But who the hell even cares?

This is just gonna have to do. I ain't gonna wait for the sun to come up for another photo. Now, take a close look at that photo. Don't ya think it look like the Mississippi river boat is smaller with the 1/2 inches modification to the hull?

Speak'n of "a close look". I super glue my freak'n glasses lens. I don't come off with denatured alcohol. It don't come off with acetone. It don't come off with sand paper neither. Off to Lenscrafters in the next couple days for a set of new glasses. I hate vision inspections just to get a prescription. I have insurance....only costs me a $35 deductible. I'm using 4 year old spares....."oh lookie there, I cain't see shit".

Before I forgit, we talked bout this acid reflux before. I take a daily acid reducer for the last 8 years or so....give or take. At $4 for a bottle of 50 Ranitidine (Zantac), I'm think'n I'm do'n Ok. I mentioned a couple weeks back that I thought I could have a stomach virus an' I'm think'n I was right.  Last couple days, I ain't had me no acid reflux an' I ain't puked neither. Thanks to 6 cans of Campbell's Chicken Noodle soup an' a big box of Kellogg's Frosted Mini Wheats with a gallon of ice cold milk. Last night I eat up a plate of hamburger steak, mash taters an' mac an' cheese.

Speak'n of eat'n, Sadie Mae an' this "damn cat" are get'n along much better. But Sadie Mae is still boss an' she tell that cat a thing or two.

  I missed a good shot of my "kids" lay'n in a camp chair together. Most time when Sadie Mae is lay'n in a chair an' the damn cat jump up there, Sadie Mae rolls her eyes an' goes finds another chair. Yesterday she didn't do that. They both lay there together for a good 10 minutes. Then Sadie Mae says..."this shit sucks"....heads for another chair.

Speak'n of that "damn cat", have ya ever hear of a cat named Leonard? To test what it sounds like, stick yer head out the door an' holler..."Leeeonard!!...git in da house". See what I'm talk'n bout? Sounds good don't it? He grow'n too.

While we're talk'n bout cats, let's talk bout them dad gum fleas. Ya see, I put some generic Frontline on the cat. Same ingredients. It don't work to keep fleas off him. He rub his head on my chin...a love hug. Now I got fleas in my beard. Ha ha, not really, I comb 'em out with a flea comb. Next I will try Advantage II, but I got to wait another couple weeks for this stuff to wear off. 

My freak'n mater plants are grow'n a hunnert mile a hour. I'm gonna have to put up a 8 foot 2x4 to hold 'em up. Well maybe they ain't grow'n quite THAT fast, but they sure are get'n tall. Cain't wait for that first thick slice mater sammich.

Ok, that's it for today. Cain't think of nuttin else to write about. Shoot, I got to get back to the "old" Billy Bob.

  5. If you've been treating the fleas for this long and they aren't gone yet, you probably need to take the cat to a vet. Fleas can cause lots of problems if they lay their eggs inside an animal, like tapeworms, etc.

    1. With so many dogs on the property (8), there are bound to be a gazillion fleas outside. Cat was flea free just a couple days ago an' after a day outside....he got fleas again.
      Robert plans to spray the yard in the next couple days.

  6. Put some advantage 3 on them as soon as you can and take the cat to the vet for tapeworms a shot will do it, could get a shot for her and the doggie would help immediately, wash the dog in Dawn dish soap the fleas will fly out of him/her and the cat too if you can catch her..Is she fixed? it isn't that much they can bathe her when she gets fixed and deflea and deworm her at the same time,they have to keep her for awhile and Sadie mae can get the shots toooooo! They will feel better and you will too!

    1. As soon as the cat is old enough to be fixed, he will receive all his shots. Sadie Mae received hers recently...maybe 6 months.

  7. After reading the first sentence about giving one reason only, I had to take a break when the first thing that popped into my head was fleas! By going in & out all the time, you need to treat the lawn in the areas that you frequent or the pets will bring in new ones every time that they go out even if some of the fleas die!

    1. After the addition of Miracle Gro, the mater plants have gone slap wild. Also, mov'n them out of the extreme afternoon blaz'n sunshine has done wonders.

  9. I used to take Zantac. Prilosec works better for me. Not saying it will for you but it might be worth a try.

  12. " Ever thing I eat I git me a case of acid reflux."

    Doesn't sound like your acid reflux blocker works. Eight years is a long time taking it only to admit

  14. Thinking you might be in a reading mood in the middle of the night, you know, when you just can't sleep, I decided I'd share two things with you that you might find interesting to read~~
    I just read yesterday on the internet where you can mix half rubbing alcohol and half water in a spray bottle (that has a fine mist) and lightly spray dogs and cats (avoiding spraying the face and directly on their, well, tender areas) and it will kill adult fleas, but not flea eggs. Pet beds, rugs and sleeping areas should be sprayed too, anywhere a flea could hide out. Not as good as using the Advantage of course, but would help out a bit in the house until the Advantage could be used on the little kitty puss. With the little kitty puss and dog going outside you could spray them lightly every evening when they come in for the night. If the alcohol mixture smells too strong you can use less alcohol. Put 'using alcohol for fleas on pets' in your web search if you want to read more about it. Fleas are just horrible around here this year, and I have seven indoor/outdoor cats!
    The second thing is that I was sitting here yesterday thinking about the dizziness you had a while back. I ran across a blog post where this ladies' husband was having bad dizziness for a long time, couldn't hardly keep his feet under him. Long story short... he was taking Prilosec daily for a long time, as in years, for acid reflux or GERD. She did her internet researching of 'side effects of Prilosec', and dizziness was one of the side effects. He stopped taking it and his dizziness went completely away. And that was after many medical tests for the possible cause being his heart, etc. Go figure. Put 'side effects of Ranitidine (Zantac)' into your web search and it'll bring a lot of info on that, and it does include dizziness. WebMD.com was the best site I found for interesting and easy to understand information on that. Amazing how those little over the counter and prescribed meds are there to help us yet they can open up a whole new can of worms. You may just have to give up that spicy Billy Bob chili so you can stay on your feet. ha...
    It's a mighty fine blog you put out here for us readers, and I really enjoy it even though I never leave you any comments, other than this one! ~Pam in Louisiana~
