Dumb and Dumber - or How Did I Live So Long? or Duh!

 Many know that I rarely watch T.V.  

It's not my thing.  

Maybe that's because all the best programmes come on after 8:00 p.m.   Most evenings I am in bed by then.

It's certainly because I have a short attention span; and because I don't need background noise in my home.   I don't even listen to the radio.




                              My up-to-date model.


When I got back from the United Kingdom in June the T.V. wouldn't work.

That wasn't a major problem, though I would like to have increased my anxiety by watching the Weather Channel when Helene was on her way.

I looked into purchasing (gosh and golly) a Flat Screen but never got around to it.

Milton is on his way.  With that in mind I tried fiddling with the T.V. to no avail.

But then........




Yesterday some gracious spirit put a thought into my mind.  "Maybe the remote control needs new batteries".  IT DID. 

It took me only four months to figure that out

  I arrived in time for my 8:50 appointment with my Dermatologist.   The Receptionist told me that I did not have an appointment.  She checked the records and told me that my appointment is for Tuesday. I knew that.  Then the light dawned.  Up until that moment I had thought that it was Tuesday, not Monday. You'd think that calendars had not been invented! It got worse. I took Cooper for an early pee walk this afternoon.  He lifted his leg to cue. Then he took a strong and mad dash towards a Squirrel.  I fell down.  And great was my fall. Lots of scrapes.  No bones broken. Pictures not in order. Excuse duplicates. No sympathy please - I was foolish. Fortunately, I had an arm bandage to sop up the blood. It looks worse than it is. BUT  1.  I was foolish in two ways. First, I had taken Cooper on a short leash.  I'd have had more control with the double handled long leash. 2. When he made his mad dash, I should have dropped ...
