Swimming in the pond and what not to do on pain meds.

        A couple of weeks ago I went to the dentist only to find out that I was going to have to have a tooth pulled..AHHH! As a child that doesn't seem so bad but as an adult this is an almost tearful event. A week after this I was told that the pain was what they called a "dry socket'. Weird words for a reason to be put on vicodin.
  Since pain meds are such a wonderful thing..what can really be better than starring at the wall for 10 solid minutes and having nothing to worry about. YEAH!!
We all need a brain break every once in a while..
But here are a few things not to do on painkillers

Take the dog for a Walk
This feels like a long crawl thru sand. A block can feel like a marathon in quicksand.
Try this one..it is really fun :)

Drive
This is seriously dangerous and should never happen even though I know people do it every day...really stupid!

Chew
You can forget you have a tongue and chew it off..HAHA!

Clean the fish filter in your pond
This is funny but can be dangerous. I decided to do this after my first dose of vicodin.
Leaning over the pond I actually fell headfirst into the pond. Now getting out of a pond at 65 with shoes on is a tough thing to do. The water is seriously cold and the bottom is slimy so getting footing is really hard. Then pulling your self out is a feat in itself. Not to talk about the bird poo and fish poo that you swallow...AHHHH!!

Basically what I have learned is this...don't walk, chew, or try to function like you do normally just sleep on pain meds. and definitely don't try to do some tasks that require balance.

or you may be
Swimming with the fishes like I did...Have a good one. Deb

Boring Friday and things to do for fun!! Have a laugh!

I guess each one of us has had a boring day...Even if you have a ton to do ..some days are just boring..you know same old cleaning..same old work..same old same old...Well here are a few things to do if you are bored.

Go shopping with your shirt on inside out and see if any one notices the tags.
Sit in your car with a hairdryer and point it out the window..see if cars slow down
Go to wal-mart and every time they announce something. Hold you ears and yell..Not the voices again!
Go grocery shopping, grin at everyone and tell them "I have new socks on"
Skip everywhere is stead of walking.
Get on an elevator..look at the buttons..and say "wonder what these are for?" then push them all.
Look sideways in the store and say to no one " Didn't I tell you to stop talking"
Ok..and last of all for today...Go into a dressing room at a store and yell.." there's no toilet paper in here!"


       Have a good one.!

Ellas art and fun with grandchildren

A lot of people that I talk to say kids aren't as intelligent now..I disagree. I actually think they are smarter in some ways then we ever were.

 A Little story about my granddaughters cleverness!

My grand daughter hasn't lost any of her teeth yet.  Disappointed by not having a visit by the tooth fairy.

She knew her brother had just lost a tooth..so..she went into the room her brother sleeps in and took the tooth out from under his pillow and put it under hers..Her brother being smart figured this out..The best part was the two of them made a deal to split the money they got..I am sure my grand daughter worked this out doing the puppy dog eyes thing. LOL

                    
 I used clever to stay out of trouble.                    
 I used my mind like that but mine reason was always different.
 I was playing in the barn...we lived on a farm for a time when I was in my teens.
My dad said not to play in the barn with out your shoes.. of course I did.
Unfortunately for me, I stepped on a nail..It took me quite a while to hammer a hole through the shoe bottom in the right spot so I could prove that I did have my shoes on.
