things to remember

things I need to remember whilst blogging.

1. my own url, for when I'm commenting on or at other bloggers blogs.

2. open microsoft word to use for spell check at other bloggers blogs..

and now for something completely different...

We had to do two wakes today, one for a neighbor from the old neighborhood and the other for my wifes sisters husbands mother. Would that be my bro in laws mother?
The best part, if there is such a thing about wakes and attending them, they were at the same place.
Another good thing, one was from 1pm to 5pm and the other was from 4pm to 8pm, which worked out nicely as I'm working nights. I got to bed around 10isham and got up 3:30ish.
So we hit the tail end of the first one and the begining of the second.

Other things I notice about wakes....

Other than the obvious, it's easier to be on the greeting side of the line than it is being in the " I'm sorry for your lose" side.... I found that at Stephanie's, our daughter when she died.
Ya still don't know everyone, but it's easier to say thanks for coming and pass that person on than it is saying you're very sorry 10 or more times just like the guy or gal who just went in front of you.
Another thing is that the older the person is the lines are way shorter as is the wait. That most come with age, one gets to a point in ones life and most of your friends have passed on.

so, how was your day.

blogging

as long as I'm posting comments on other peoples blogs I should try to keep mine up to date just in case someone stops by to see who the hell this guy is....

xmas holidays

I was able to get my shopping done on monday and tuesday, couple of gift cards and money cards, for parents and nephews, wifiepoo had already done the hardcore gift shopping everybody else.
We did gifts the 24th at home with Sky, as that's when we get her, xmas eve. Mike, Kristen and Lilly came over as well. I got a new digi camera, I had been using Stephs, but it went through the wash and the flash didn't work. Great for outdoors, daytime pics, but wasn't good at all inside.
We do xmas dinner xmas eve at my parents, the whole clan and gifts for everyone too. After which we took Sky to her other grandparents and hung out awhile before heading home to await santa.
So new cam and there will be some new pix coming, someday.
see ya

catchin up on november

Well now it's been a couple of days, eh?
Lets see what I can remember....
Nov 26th, Wed
Thanksgiving eve went off ok, other than Kristen had to work and couldn't go to din din..
Baby Wilwee (Lilly) came and Ant was happy happy... wanted to hold her, cause ya see he's now not the baby any more.... after din din the baby passing began.
As I said, din din went ok even though we all brought something instead of having mother hen cook it all, she only had to worry about the turkey and gravy, much to her angst.
Nov 27th, Thrus
Thanksgiving at the wifies fathers, dinner was again great. We played pass the baby again with Lilly, before and after din din. Matt, the wifies nephew has a daughter, 16, I don't know all the details but she came and was introduced to all, wheres my couch.
Nov 28th, Fri
Did some hunting and then Fridays play date was at Grammie Pats, (my parents). Family from Pen were in town for the holiday and stopped by, Ant was the center of attention. Left overs, chocolate pie hmmm.
Nov 29th, Sat
Was called into work, a guys son had a baby. Get stuff sorted out for Bills game on Sunday.
Nov 30th, Sun
Junior won Bills tickets, they're playing his 49ers. Up early, dressed warmly, cooler packed, rain gear in hand ( remember hunting without it?) and away we about 8 am. Drive ok, just past Rochester some blowing snow. Get there and parked, over cast decide rain gear not needed and head off to the game. All is well till mid way through the second quarter then it starts drizzling, no rain gear, again. His 49ers won, all it good in the world. About an hour, we're warmed and working our way outta the parking lot looking for rt 219 and 90 east. We were slowed on the way home for at least 2 accidents, coming to complete stops and waits both times, was back home around 10 pm.
and there you have the rest of November...

what the hell is going on...

How can people be in such a hurry to SHOP, yes GET IN A STORE AND SHOP that they stampede and someone gets crushed and dies??? Not to get out 'cause there's a fire or earthquake.... but to shop.... and then be pissed off when the store says it's closing 'cause the poor doorman dies....
I don't understand, what is that important that one is in that much of a hurry???
This is one reason that I wait till, say the 20th....

My sympathies to is family and coworkers
