THURSDAY Morning Work Out! make that OUCH!

 I pulled everything out of 5 cabinets and two drawers and cleaned and tossed and organized. On the counter above is what was in the cabinet below.

I forgot the before shot. this is the after.

See the 3 coffee cans? each had a 2 lb bag of corn meal, flour, almond flour. I took those 3 bags in the big flour container below top shelf. In Florida we have bug problems if you leave a bag sitting out on a shelf. 

 

I found I had enough mustard for the next 2 years, and Zero Catsup ( major if married to Bob). Four Applesauce. most of this the result of 2020 habits formed of buy now it might not be on the shelf the next time, and hurricane supplies. I pondered just how long two people could live on MUSTARD?

Did I mention 5 large boxes of Saltines? 3 jars of mayo, 1 REAL mayo 2 Vegan Mayo which is a year's supply unless of course we put mayo and mustard on the crackers for the hurricane.

Please do not be concerned. there were also 5 jars of Peanut Butter. 3 of Jif for Bob, 2 of all natural for me. Beau shares the Jif.

3 bags of flour 1 container I thought this was clever enough to warrant its own photo to show how clever I am. It doesn't count that it is so heavy that I can't pick it up and will be there next year to toss out.

Below is the cabinet on the opposite side that some idiot designed as the largest cabinet in the kitchen with a tiny door and 1/2 of it not accessible except for a gymnast. The stool was needed because the same idiot designer, made the cabinets too high for a normal person to reach without fear for her life using them.

 I must keep the things I use rarely at the back where they can't be seen resulting in buying another because I can't see it, and the edges are full of the glass bottles that break if dropped because it's the only one that holds tall bottles. 

I wish I could be in the room with the person who built and installed these cabinets. Like the tiny one over the fridge, that I can't reach even standing on the sturdy stool and I don't dare stand on the tiny 3 step LADDER because then I would not need to reach there from my bed with a leg in traction.

I now have 4 extra dog bowls left over from angels gone over the rainbow bridge, and a 6 drink can thermal thingy (never used except hurricanes), bottles of cleaning vinegar and 5-gallon jugs of hurricane water. Object/items removed from that cabinet require a chair from the kitchen table because I can't.
 A. see it B. reach it
and if I sat on the stool, it would require EMS to come and get me up off it. Note: it has a handle to hold on but only on one side. 
Are you picking up what I am putting down?
PS for David G... I ordered that stool from AMAZON, Not Walmart! my other STORE I mention way too much.

Caturday ART by MadSnapper Insta Toon

 

MadSnapper and Winston 

Recent Update to Insta toon and playtime by the Mad One., there might more on Beaus blog

I love this Big dog. Guess what, it doesn't involve cutting me and Winston out, just pull up the photo and click on one of 40 backgrounds.

Dear Diary

 

Dear Diary, on Tuesday 8/22/2023, two weeks before my 79th Birthday, I the MadSnapper, did the following Manual Labor.

Walked Beau and at 7:15 handed him his peanut butter bone, leaving him happy on the living room carpet, I went outside to Cut the grass path and the grass in the back yard using the MANUAL gas-powered lawn mower. Bob did the front yard.

I confess, he cranked the mower for me...but last time I did crank the lawn mower all by myself.

I then Swept the messy grass/dirt cuttings off the deck and off the driveway using the above MANUAL but NOT a push broom and then pushed the MANUAL carpet sweeper over the 600 sq feet of carpet to pick up the grass cuttings I tracked in the house.

Tomorrow Beau and I walk the path I made for us; we have walked it since Oct 13th, 2020.

I asked AI for an illustration of an old woman pushing a lawnmower. I removed the word old and look what I got. AI needs to get with the new world of old women in capris, leggings and t-shirts.

I wonder how old AI is????

PS this was the other Woman, at least we KNOW AI IS MALE

It looks like she may have cut her left foot off with the mower and is really strong because she is pushing the mower with NO HANDS. 

 

News Flash! and a rabbit hole

 I clicked log out after paying bills online, and Edge Browser came up with Guess what, we have added more to your browser. Want to Learn?

one hour later....

I got to the last page of what is NEW, and it said, would you like to try Read this page Aloud ?

Duh! options were Push down on screen, choose to read aloud, or use CTRL shift U and 

I looked at the choice on Push down and then chose the 2nd option and a loud woman voice was reading loudly while I listened to all the instructions on how to use read aloud.

They forgot to tell me how to MAKE HER STOP! I chose to hit Ctrl W, which closes the browser and she stopped.

My mind went to Wow! this is great for people who have sight problems, I ran down that rabbit hole in my head and thought, I can type without looking but how would I find the ctrl shift keys, which led to racing in the living room to grab the iPhone and take a photo of the keyboard. I tried closing my eyes and typing blind. I was right, no idea where the ctrl shift was.

I turned on the little desk lamp, and through the camera lens I saw DUST, grabbed the can of air, blasted off the dust, and forgot to hold the plastic straw, it blasted papers all over the floor from the desk and led to the hunt for the little red straw and picking up papers.

Meanwhile, time had fled, I took more photos and typed this nonsense and found I had spent 75 minutes doing nothing that mattered.

Total time spent on paying bills and nonsense play time, 3 hours. I did learn how to use 3D on 

insta toon app, I found new things on Edge Browser, I bent and stooped to clean up the mess I made with the can of air, and that counts as exercise, right?

Which reminds me, I paid 7.95 cents for a CAN of AIR... that was 3 months ago. I could keep going but half of you are not still reading anyway. 

MAD CHATTER

 

 I opened the above cabinet to put 3 containers with lids where they reside.

the resulting catastrophe had me wanting to hide.

A lid fell and hit my head, the other bounced from my arm to the floor.  

 I realized the cabinet would hold no more.

Quickly I pulled everything out.

and started to move them all about.

I removed the bad and the ugly, leaving only the good.

I stacked and I stacked until they all sat moored.

I tossed all else in the trash and thought I was done.

While taking the photo, I thought OH NO!

those two big containers are perfectly good, but the lids are a mess,

I started to feel a little stress.

Suddenly 

I thought I was done, I had this idea,

I opened the cabinet over the stove, removed all things putting there and here.

I fought to open the drawer full of utensils that makes me say words I don't want you to hear.

I cleaned and I scrubbed and tossed things away,

Sitting spices in one, and utensil in the other, I tossed the lids in the trash and there they stay

I realized I it took two hours to put 3 containers away,

then I thought take photos and go play.

Sunday Seflie USSIE

Selfie USSIES from the 90's

 

The top of Bob's head is not missing, I took the photo through the glass in the frame and the photo was photobombed by a sunspot

I used Insta-toon app on phone

Caturday ART (maybe)

 

I got nothing, nothing at all,

not even a photo of a ball.

I chose the lid on the jar, that holds Beaus Treats,

this is all I could find to do insta-toon repeats.

I bought brightly colored file folders, 

in hopes it would help my eyes that are older.

I thought the colors would help keep them apart,

It turns out they also make great tooned up ART

I added fish because I could,

to make it look better and good

Happy Saturday

The Bed, The Box and The Grabber

 

The Bed, my home for 5 days straight and I did a lot of sleeping because Muscle Relaxers knocked me out. 

The box. It held my tablet and pen, 2 remotes to TV and Fire Stick, and my Chromebook and cellphone. No photo of the iPhone, it was in my hand.

Addiction to the camera in the iPhone did not go away even though I was in pain.

These were taken on the 4th day, the first 3 I moaned and slept.

I had to get Bob to get the shoe box off the top shelf. 

The bed and box photo instatooned, because tooning was something I could do in bed.

The grabber A.K.A grill tongs, lived on the sink. I used it to catch the edge of my underwear to work them on my toes without bending forward and for picking up all the things I dropped in the bathroom.

During Normal Days, I use these tongs to reach things in the back of shelves and on top shelves. 

I do have a grabber but like this best.

Several of you mentioned a grabber, I have one and this one, but have you ever tried to pick up paper or a fork, or an eggshell? I dropped all of that and more... Lucky Me, I just yelled for bob, the Living Grabber

The Doorknob Made Me do it.

While sitting poking the iPhone, I had the urge and took the phone with me. I like to read or text or play with cell phone when the urge Hits Me.

I stood up to leave the bathroom and another urge hit.

insta-toon was set on filter Two Tone

Doorknob my brain said.

 

Look, there I am!

turn the phone landscape, easier to work with

Zoom on the STUFF

Odd, the dust doesn't show on junk using Two Tone.

Outa Here!

Bottle full of Power??

 

Two weeks ago, I succumbed to all the ads on TV about this product and purchased the above bottle to do my own testing.

I do not leave dishes in the sink or anywhere else for food to dry on them, but I did test this on greasy pans and the stainless-steel sink, and it does make it easier to remove grease.

I bought it only for ucky pans.

I spray on bottom of pan and let it soak, and if there is stuck fast fishy stuff in the pan, I put a tad of water and spray with power Wash and let it sit for a few minutes. 

I must say here, if you do what they do in the ads, spray all that food and grease and spray off with water, you will soon be calling a plumber to remove said grease from your drainpipes.

after soaking the pan, I use a spatula to scrape it loose and pour the mess into glass jars that I wash and keep for this purpose.

Tighten lid and place in garbage bag.

I give it a 9, deducting a point because of Cost.

I might add the deduction back and raise it to a 10 because I did have PHUN with insta-toon and the bottle.

I GOT THIS!

the flowers on my kitchen table are yellow and burgundy.

I want Magenta Flower, I want to be Trending with millions of other people.

I don't want to spend Money.

Instant Trending Magenta by myself and Insta-toon

I accidently tooned the Coconut Oil and Ghee and thought I would tell you this stuff is great for cooking, for dry skin, and it is keto friendly Myra...Look up the benefits and it is IBS friendly

I had no idea what Ghee is, check it out. Type GHEE in Google Search and enjoy.
