Life Is Not Fair!

 I don't want to name names or anything, but someone bought a crappy computer for me. I think we all know of whom I speak. 

As you know, I have been complaining about the fruit flies that resist all my efforts to eliminate them from my life. I was already disenchanted with this laptop and all the functions it will not do but should. I was struggling with the pop-ups again and saying unkind words to the computer. A fruit fly was dive bombing my face and it suddenly landed on the screen!!

I slapped it. Maybe I used too much force, but I killed it and smeared it against the screen. I kind of broke the top and it is hanging on .... barely. I could still use it, or so I thought. Whatever I did when I smacked that pesky fly disabled the inner mouse.

One would think that the unnamed buyer of this would have marched straight out to purchase another for me. One would be wrong. No name got a new mouse for me! Seriously. This person got a new mower when he wrecked the old one doing a kind favor for someone that is not me! But, instead of seeking a better solution for my dilemma, he gives me a mouse to plug into this piece of crap with a lid that barely closes. Life is not fair.

Now I must research a new computer for myself while this one still sort of functions.

    And make sure you order YOURSELF a good one. Have it shipped either to your house or the store for Unnamed Buyer to pick up.

      I will be asking my son to help me choose the right one since he knows exactly what I need.

    You definitely deserve a new laptop. He might not even notice...

      I am sure he will notice it when he checks the bank statement. By then it will be too late to do anything about it.

    You are better off picking out your new computer for yourself. Should have 'accidentally' broken it sooner.

      I was so intent on smashing that fruit fly that I didn't think. Maybe it was sub conscious?

Hot Diggity Dog!

  Although this is my very first post, I am not new to blogging. For years I have been sharing my good days, my bad days, and many calamities with those who cared to read my words.  Did I want to start a brand-new blog? Not really. Life sometimes gets in the way. I acquired a stalker along the way. She is relentless and will not go away. I have had readers who disagree with me and have even said some harsh things in comments. Eventually they seem to move on and let me be. Not this one. The easiest thing was to stop posting on my old blog and create a new one. So, here I am. My new blog name would suggest that I am excited. I suppose I am. That being said, the name is more like a tribute to my canine companion, Charming Eddie. Charming Eddie is a dachshund, hotdog, wiener dog, fat little sausage filled with love for me. My constant companion has inspired many a story. Not just him, but his canine and turtle siblings. Yes, I am Mom to 3 dogs and a turtle. If I had my way, there ...

Gardens and Cats

  My gout has gone, but the memory stays! Now my neck is bothering me with arthritis. I am sure digging has nothing to do with it. I seem to be in a race to finish my upper garden. Only two bags of mulch remain.  I spread one today and planted two Crepe Myrtle bushes and another cone flower. This one is orange. I already have white and purple. It is safe to say that there is no particular color scheme. Just lots of color. Yesterday I bought 6 shepherd's hooks that I saw on Marketplace. One is already in place on my little deck with a hummingbird feeder that is visible from the window next to my sewing machine. It is on the high end and hopefully out of reach from the cat population. The cat population continues to grow. A new cat showed up last week. A fluffy grayish one. I am pretty sure it is female. She is not as skinny as Mousy Tongue and I fear she will be adding some babies soon. Hard to tell with all that fur, but her belly is certainly bigger than the other two females...

Mulch, Teeth and Steppingstones

  Today is the big day! I will be glued to the dentist chair for an hour while they make a mold of my mouth and then, ultimately my new tooth. I am excited. I won't have the tooth installed today, but I am one step closer to eating popcorn! Why is it that you always want what you can't have. I don't even like popcorn that much, but since I don't have the ability to chomp it up, I want it like nothing I have ever wanted before! This upper garden is trying to kill me! Just when I think I can almost see completion, something happens to put me two steps behind the one step I took. I am praying that I will be able to eke out my last bag of mulch to cover the carboard.  I have since changed my mind several times about what will surround the steppingstones. First, I was going to use gravel with no steppingstones but walked on some of the gravel I have on hand and didn't like the way it felt to my feet. Not my bare feet, mind you, but I could tell there would be a balance i...
