I’ve been holding out writing in my blog for a few days have had some recent happenings and I have been waiting to be able to put things in to perspective, and to reflect on what has happened in the past few days.
Now don’t take this the wrong way. What has happened is not good.
But it is also not that bad. Things could be worse, but also a hell of a lot better. Well Get on with It……

I guess I should start by saying, I no longer have a vehicle to drive. No it was not repossessed. But I won’t go into details at this time. Guess I’ll have to dust of my walking shoes. Actually, I had a nice walk this morning, down to Habib’s, for garbage bags and to the post orafice and back home. Oh I also bought a lotto ticket. The reason for the lotto, my palm was itching this morning. The last time I had an itchy palm, I won the 50-50 at our Kiwanis meeting. So, why not, just might have the winner…. I’ll let you know how I did….

Had to have a friend take me to Soc. Service yesterday morning. Had a pretty good meeting with the people over there. I also meet my new case-worker. She seemed real nice. Guess I won’t have to go over and see them for a while.

Today is cleaning day, so I guess I should go and get on with it……..


KYSOTY

And God said to Moses, “Moses my good man, would you build me an Ark”. Moses looked up to God and said, “Yea, what’s and Ark”?
Yes my friends, its seems that it has been raining and raining for forty days and forty nights. Pretty soon, I’ll go down to my old homestead and ask the neighbor if I can borrow my boat that O sold him a few years ago… With each day of rain we have, I find another leak in the roof. Yes I have buckets all along the floor in the back hallway. What a freaking mess. It’s not that bad, but if it continues to keep raining I’ll need to buy more buckets…

It’s early Saturday morning. I woke up early and could not go back to sleep. So I got up and made coffee, and did my thing in the bathroom, took my meds. And figured I’d do my post. Mm, mm,mm, coffee……………. I know I’ve spouted off about the wonders of a good cup of coffee before, so I won’t this day.

Yesterday, I read my sisters post on Dogster.com, well she has an online diary for her dog, Tucker. She starts out about Tucker not wanting to be political, but goes into a semi tirade about Tucker and his other friend joining politics and running for President and VP. It was a little comical. Its was meant to be, but I think we all need to be humored when it comes to the state of affairs of our so-called greatest politicians. I know and you know they could al do and should do better for us. I know, I know, I should support our leaders. Well I say, Bullshit!!! They need to do better or they won’t be here next election. I know I’ll have someone tell me I’m wrong not to support our President and Governor. But how can they say they are doing the best they can and we all know the shit is getting deeper and deeper. Yet they continue to think that we are blind and can be fooled once again. Well I say Fuck Em All.
Send them to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan for Six months and then extend their stay another six months. Or send them to live as we do, having to worry about how we are going to pay for heat this winter or how we’re going to keep feeding ourselves this winter……. ………….. …….. … .

Wow, that was deep. Must be I had a little bone to pick. But I must not apologize for my little rant. I must stand up and say, Mr. President, do better, Mr. Governor, you do better too.

KYSOTI

Well yesterday was a pretty good day, other then the FUCKING RAIN…….. And today was the same, FUCKING RAIN. Now I do feel sorry for those that are flooded out and are in desperate need of no rain…. But As long as it isn’t freakin @#$%. I won’t say the four-letter word, of what is to come this winter…. (You know, frozen water), Of course I don’t mean ice, that’s three letters……. So I did stay in most of the day, and took it easy. I had to. For some reason, every time I got up, whether it was from bed, or when I was sitting down or what ever, my knees have me a Snap, Crackle and Pop…….. But for some reason, after about four hours, it stopped and my knees where fine. Must be old age. Or could be I beat them up when I was younger. Yes, I do have a football knee. And I’ve done my share of tripping and falling on my knees, so it’s no wonder I’m having a rough time with all this rain…….

A new experience, well not really, my car has got more than ¾ of a tank of gas, for the first time in two to three months. Guess it was about time. Yeah, I put eight dollars in when I went to go pick up a few things at Wally World….. I might not have made it too and from the store. Then on the way home I put another forty in the tank. Almost filled it, but its deffinatly over three quarters….

Still getting used to not having cable. I’m disappointed that I can’t get any CBS……. I miss my CSI’s and the other good CBS shows. Guess I’ll have to deal till I pay them off and get either Satellite or have them reinstalled. Oh well………. KYSOTI

rain $#@%&*$#^%%$^

Today started out like any other typical rainy nasty day…….
Till I went to the mailbox. And what do I find in my box???????
Three things from Soc. Services.. So I open the smallest one first. It’s a letter to appear for a meeting on the 18th. Next one is an application for Managed Care, for medical insurance. But the third…….well it was my approval for cash assistance and also my Medicaid. Wow…..

Well that made my day… So not to be too gushing and overly positive for the day….. Yes it’s still a rainy nasty day, but I’m smiling pretty well.

So with nothing else to write about that isn’t to ,depressing, (the weather), or to positive, my mood, I’ll just leave you with the following little gross facts…….



During an hour's swimming at a municipal pool you will ingest 1/12 liter of urine.

In an average day your hands will have come into indirect contact with 15 penises (touching door handles etc.)

An average person's yearly fast food intake will contain 12 pubic hairs.


In a year you will have swallowed 14 insects - while you slept!

Annually you will shake hands with 11 women who have recently masturbated and failed to wash their hands.

Annually you will shake hands with 6 men who have recently masturbated and failed to wash their hands.

In a lifetime 22 workmen will have examined the contents of your dirty linen basket.

At an average wedding reception you have a 1/100 chance of getting a cold sore from one of the guests.

Daily you will breath in 1 liter of other peoples' anal gases.

HAVE A GREAT DAY...

. . . . . . . . . . now go & wash your damn hands


That’s it for now….KYSOTI

Tuesday andall is well, sort of...

I guess I should have stayed home Saturday night. I ended up staying in all day Sunday and Monday. I felt like crapola… Same bug, as the past few days, but yesterday I think I was running a slight fever till the night. I do feel much better today, but still have some minor symptoms and a lot of gas……
I did a little grocery shopping, just milk, bread and minor stuff. It got me out of the place for a while. Just have to remember that if I use the car again, I’d better put some gas in it……. My check gages light came on and I was on empty.

Oh well, I’m dealing with not having cable pretty well. My only problem is I can’t get any CBS stations at this time. I miss my shows on that network. But if and when I get some more money, I’ll buy a better antenna for the TV. When I moved up to Old Forge several years ago, we only had Rabbit Ears for an antenna, and got the Syracuse stations and Utica’s channel 2. So I hope I can get Syracuse with a better antenna. Then I’ll be fine till I get back on cable or Satellite TV. It’s good I have my computer and some idiot games, they help keep me occupied. Last week I read one of my favorite books, Battlefield Earth. Yes a book by L. Ron Hubbard. Very good book.
It took me I guess, two and a half days to read all eight or nine hundred some pages. Maybe this week I’ll start reading some more of my favorites, like The Stainless Steel Rat saga’s or maybe, the Hitchhikers ‘s Guide to the Universe series. Both are a good read. Guess that’s it for know.. KYSOTI

it's SUNDAY!!!!

Sunday, a nice quiet day at home. Nothing to do but cook me a nice pot of beef stew……. Yeah, I’ve been under the weather the last few days. I must have eaten something or got some bug that’s going around. I have literally felt like crap since Wednesday night. I’ve had craps, felt like I was going to burst, felt nauseous and had the old Tennessee Two step as well. Still feel a little queasy in the lower regions today, but I think I’m on the road to Wellsville…

Last night we had our Kiwanis installation dinner, at Thurstons. Nice meal and nice installation. I was installed as Vice President…. (and there was much rejoicing, Yeeeaaahhhhh!!!!) No. I’m not ready to step into Dick Cheney’s shoes…… I sure wouldn’t want to be Pres. Bush’s VP. George is an ass……(please note, that is an opinion, it, is not necessarily the fact.) They also gave out perfect attendance pins as well, I got a Five year pin… We also had the outstanding citizen award, givin to Father Yhanas. He really deserves it. If anywhere there was a community spiritual leader he would be it. A true gentleman if ever there was one.
So far, I’ve sold 17 raffle tickets… That’s about the best so far.
All in all, a good night, but I went home early and even went to bed early. I even stayed in bed late today. Who’s going to say anything about it. Be nice…………

Back to my stew, it’s coming along very nicely… in about an hour or so, I’ll be chowing down on a nice plate of beef stew with some biscuits and a nice tall glass of skim milk…………… that’s it for now, I’ll see ya later………………………………..KYSOTI. or TTFN

Life Sucks!

I guess it Sucks to be Me!!!
What did I do to piss off people. I just go about my day doing what I do and not bothering anyone, minding my own biz… All that stuff. I get someone who’s pissed at me for not letting him go past me as I’m backing out in Walmart. (My not so favorite place to shop, but where else can I go and get what I need as cheap as Wallyworld.) Yes I was backing out of my space and someone came around the end and had to wait while I backed out, trying not to hit any cars or people. This asshole decides to let me know I was going too slow. Of course the universal finger was waved at me and some utterances of the not so kind nature were offered to me. I just shrugged it off.
Now that’s how my day has been going, just bullshit after bullshit.

My day started off really funky….
Yesterday, I was called by my caseworker at Soc. Services. We went over my case and she used her computer and we talked about my truck, the Explorer, and she was using the NADA program to see how much my truck was worth. When we finished, she told me the value of the truck was to high and I would be turned down for Cash assistance. What the FUCK do they want? They must be really freakin idiots. I don’t blame the caseworker, she’s been real good. But the fuckin idiots that make these freakin rules should have to live by them for a while. Okay, so that ruined my day yesterday. As for today, My case worker calls me again this morning, and tells me that if I can get two estimates that says my truck is worth less than ??? amount of money, I would still be eligible for cash assistance. So now I have to go run and get the estimates. No problem. I stop at a friend’s garage, he has a dealers license. If I bring it in tomorrow, he’ll got through it and give me a complete evaluation and hopefully it will be what I need and then I’ll go get another from someone else, if they are small enough.
Okay, so far right? Now way, me next mistake of the day was coming home then going up to the Social Security office in Utica. Got in, nobody there in the waiting room. That’s cool. I get in to tell them, I have new inf. for them, and when they look up my records. They tell me I’ve been denied my Soc. Sec. and do I want to appeal the decision. Yes of coarse. Now the decision was made on September 6th, and that no letter was issued to inform me of it. The case worker I saw, couldn’t figure out why a letter wasn’t sent. So any way, I filled out the paper work and was told they would send it out to Syracuse and they would send me a letter when I have my hearing. That could take up to nine months or more. So I guess I’m fucked… Oh well, could be worse, it could be the 17th and I don’t have any money to give the light people and they shut me off. Boy it really Sucks to be ME….

About the only good thing that has happened to me in the past few day’s is the fact that I have sold half of my tickets for the Kiwanis raffle. So I need to sell fifteen more. I sell the rest, I get my dues paid for free. That’s about the only good thing that has happened. Oh by the way, they came and shut off my cable tv. Keep smiling………!!!!!! @#%%#&#*((*&(…. shit......

Saturday, in the park.......

Hi folk’s, Great day to be out to play football, or to watch football.
Our Kiwanis Club did our annual Punt, Pass and Kick competition at the
High school this morning. What a great day for it. Just cool enough, not hot at all. We saw some great performances by the kids. And some great ones by our fellow Kiwanians. Next week, we have our installation dinner. I get installed as Vice president. Ooohh, ahhhhh……
Guess I’m kind of in a great mood today. What’s not to be…
Even though, I’m broke, and no place to go and all that shit….
With a day like today, I should be happy to be able to go out and do my thing, no matter how grumpy I could be…. Today is just too nice to be a grouch. So I’m not going to be one…….
