I have been on facebook about five years I guess. I get on my timehop every morning which shows things you have commented every year you have been on facebook and pictures. I think it is interesting to see what you said last year or other years and if it is interesting I put it on facebook . It is my time line . I should be able to put anything I want too. I feel like if people don't like it they don't have to read it. Or unfriend me if you don't like it.
Not the case sometimes. I put one on the other day because it reminded me of the pain I went thru last year before they ever found the stone I had for months. This particular one said I had went to ER in Fort Worth last year at this time in considerable pain. They failed to do a Ct Scan. Emergency room doctor told me I had a UTI. I thought it was a stone because the pain was so bad but after a trip to the bathroom the pain went away.
Four months later that pain came back one night so bad I couldn't sit down and ended up in Sweetwater hospital. After a scan there they said I had a stone the size of a golf ball. It had been there for months. Ended up having laser surgery but to get back to my story.......
A cousin of mine that I haven't seen in years put on my timeline ,"What? Are you trying to get sympathy again?". Not hardly. It just reminded me of what I went thru last year . It might help someone to know if they had the same symptoms. A friend of mine told her that she had known me for long time and she had never seen me try to get sympathy. People that really know me know this.
One of my daughters that hadn't been on facebook long told me the other day sometimes she liked life before facebook. She said it takes up a lot of time. It is addicting. People say rude things to you. Hurt your feelings sometimes. All that is very true.
We might have been better off before all these social networks. But we can keep up with the world better. Stay in touch with old friends better. Just have to weed out the bad ones. Which I did the other day.

I Wish I Was a Kid Again At My Grannys For The Summer....
I would give anything I have to be able to go back in time and be at my Granny's for the summer. I can just see her house and see us sitting on that bench at her table eating a pickle loaf sandwich. I still like those sandwiches today.
I didn't think anything of it back then because I was used to it I guess but her bed was in the living room. She slept with about three pillows. I got that habit still. There were two rocking chairs in front of a space heater. On the far wall was a chest of drawers. No sofa, no TV. There was a radio and that is all we had for entertainment .My Grandpa had a bedroom where he slept. I had a bedroom.
When I think about what kids have these days it is so much more than in that day. Of course we didn't know about all that so we didn't miss it. No computers, no cell phones or all the other electronic things. I cant even remember what kept us busy.
My Granny lived across the street from the cemetery. She took care of some lots for people. I used to go with her to the cemetery and we would rake the graves and pull weeds. Make them look nice. She got a check once a month from each one $1.50 a piece.
First of the month she waited to get her check in the mail for social security. No direct deposit then. We rode with neighbors to town or either took a cab. It was fun though because it is a treat when it is something you don't get to do often. We would go to town and eat lunch at the drug store. Go to a magazine store and pick out movie magazines. Then we would go to grocery store where I got to pick out sodas, lunch meats and anything else I wanted to eat.
We always had nice summers at my Grannys. Memories I will always have.

Strep In Summer Is Bad.....
I wasn't sick all winter except for that kidney stone. Here it is summer though and I get strep throat. This is the first one I have had in years. When I was a teenager about 16 I got strep every time I turned around. Back then they didn't have all the different kinds of antibiotics. I would go to the doctor and get a penicillin shot about three days in a row. I was supposed to get my tonsils out but that never happened.
I still got strep until I was in my mid thirties. Then all of a sudden I just quit getting it. Like a miracle. I think this is the first time since way back then. I hope this is not a sign I will start getting them again. Too old now to get my tonsils out. Major surgery when you are older.
They got lots of antibiotics you can take for it anyway. I hope mine helps soon. One side of my throat hurts when I swallow. Nobody wants to be around me either. Afraid they will get it I guess. Its like being quarantined.
I am hoping tomorrow I am a lot better. It will be Saturday. Got lots to do tomorrow if I am up to it. So tonight I will gargle with warm salt water like my Mom always told me to do. It really does help. I took my medicine already. Hopefully when I wake up I will be well again. When things like this happens it makes you appreciate your health..
I hope to wake up, have my orange juice. Read the paper. Go out and water my flowers. Maybe someone will talk to me tomorrow.....

A Boring Saturday for Me....
Today has been super boring for me after all that has happened in the last week. For some reason Saturdays are just boring to me. I guess I should be glad life is back to normal again.
It was very sad this last week. I went to my first loves funeral in Brownwood. My son Charles went with me. I had met him in 1st or second grade, my brother said. He was at the funeral. He remembers more than me somehow even though he is older.
At funerals you seem to see people you haven't seen in forever. That is a sad time to see them I guess. My brother was there from San Angelo. Been awhile since I seen him. And then a lot of my ex relatives from my ex husband, Paul. A lot of them are my friends on facebook so they knew me from there. This one guy I had known back in my 20's when Paul and I were together. He was in front of my brother, Wayne. Wayne said, "You know who this is?" Larry Petty! OMG I would have never recognize him. He used to be a big guy. Now he shrunk! So nice seeing him again.
Paul's wife Linda was a really nice lady too. She is the one who tamed him I think. She gave me one of the plants from the funeral. So very nice of her. She said she will learn how to text and get on facebook. She don't know how to do any of that yet I guess. I feel so bad for her. I know this will be a big adjustment for her. She was married to Paul for 31 years. I am praying for her.
I am glad all that is over and with time everyone gets better. It takes time though. I know my kids will miss their Dad.
Today is about over. I have a lot to do but didn't really want to do anything. Maybe I will get to some of that tomorrow.Gosh I am getting lazy lately.
