BeauSpeak on Selfie Sunday

 

Mama took this on Nov 15,2025 I was half starved, I got sick  on Nov 12 and she SAID the VET no food for 24 hours, then said Rice and Pumpkin 24 hours, add RX can food to it for the next 24 hour and this is how you look after nearly starving for 72 hour of RICE. yesterday I had 3 meals of 6 pieces of dry dog food and RICE

Today I got Real Dry Dog Food mixed with RICE, 1/2 cup of each and to prove I was happy and the vet would approve, when she took daddy out to sit in the sun, she lost track of me and ran yelling Beau where are  you, (she may have thought I might be pooping and eating it)

I had found a sun puddle and put my front half in the sun and butt in the shade.

ahhhhhhh food in my tummy, head in the sun and watching the street

I heard Mama say, there you are, I thought you were up to mischief, can I get a Sunday Selfie?

Will this do Mama? if you stop now I will forgive you for all the Rice.
Yes, I do feel 1000 times better today and are you going to tell them you may have sent texts and emails to a few friend stating I did a perfect 10 on the  poop scale? Oops! I knew you wanted them to know, please don't show it to them and I want tell them that you took the perfect 10 inside to daddy's hospital bed to show it to him. OOPS I did not know you don't tell that on a blog.
PS I will mention we all get  2 nights of sleep.

Oh No! she did not! part 1

 

This all started when I had to wear my orange jacket to walk Beau because it was a freezing 59F/15C when I walked Beau, Tuesday morning. I wanted to send me in my orange Jacket and the temps to my SIL who was at 45F.

 I live in a house, without dog nor man, that will pose with me for a selfie. I asked my Samsung A14 how to take better selfies while holding phone at end of my reach. It replied with Show your palm to the selfie mode, close to fist and it counts down 3,2,1 and takes the photo. NOTE above is a spot left for man OR dog in selfie.

I spied Fake Bob Statue on Kitchen Counter and

Oh Well. It does work, depends on what is in front of the selfie mode. Bob said what are you doing? He SHOULD know by now! I mean Really??

I showed him the photos he said but WHY? I said I am practicing in case I want a photo in front of the Eiffel Tower, He said NOBODY cares!  I state "Everyone CARES but YOU!

I ended up with 4 selfies and I wanted you to know, IF I would fly or float and could go to any other country, the first place I would go is this castle in Scotland that has my Great Grand Fathers Family name of Urquhart.    I have 2 E-friends in Scotland, 2 in France, 1 in Portugal, 2 in Britain, 1 Sweden, and I might be stopping by if I figure out how to get there.   

Since I had more selfies, I decided to........................Wait, there's More! to be continued

Wordy Wordy Wed

 

Get Ready!  I had an idea, something to tell you about Me! I sat the phone under the Christmas tree and took 3 snap shots to use. I am totally embarassed. It seems I have taken similar poses no less than 4 times in the same clothes, different times.

I found out I am a Selfie Junkie and did not know it. I went through and put a label on them and found 58 selfies since 2017, and that was not all, I got tired of looking.

Now I need to find an Overcomers Group for Selfie Addicts..

Get Set! wait until the photo bombers are gone.

 the idea was to tell you a little about me, things you don't know. 

I am what used to be called  a country bumpkin,  now you might say she lived her life under a rock.

I have never

Stayed in a hotel with bellboys, in fact the thought terrifies me.

the few times we stayed overnight while traveling or on a 3 day vacation, we stayed in motels, the kind where you park your car nose to your room.

(note:I do not stay in any room that is not ground floor)

My dad called them Mirror Courts  back in the 50's, we shopped by the lowest price shown, you know the kind that had blinking running neon lights outlining the building with a card in the window saying 12 dollars a night.

I have only once been in a restaurant that has more spoons and forks that the 2 we actualy need.

(that was a date that a Air Force warrant officer asked me out for New Years, the place we went had a wine list, and the man had the nerve to pull out my chair for me)

Odd thing, I never heard from him after that one date. It might of been when he asked what wine I wanted and I said I have never tasted wine. Ya THINK?

I also don't like to go new places of any kind. I want to know where I am going, what is inside, how they will treat me, what foods they have. 

Where will I park... 

Is it sit and a waiter comes or buffet or fast food and you pick it up and carry it to a table.

Which one do you think I would choose of those 3.

I have been the queen of insecurity my whole life.

When in highschool, I had nightmares about getting lost in highschool on the first day of school and not finding my schedule for classes,  I would be looking for  pay phone to call my mother, then find it and it would not take the money, or the dial would not work.

But I can teach a class, lead a team of HR specialist and do it well and that doesn't bother me.

But don't aske me to fly to CA and represent the company.

I fret constantly on what other people might see me do incorrectly.

As in my favorite scene of Pretty Woman where she flips the snail out of its shell and  up in the air and the waiter catches it.

I don't like fancy tables or dishes and prefer paper over China.

I am a dud when it comes to LIFE. The reason I am telling you this is I have been having nightmares 3 nights in a row .

CRAZY dreams.

Lost and can't find the way out of a room, or find a road, 

 a friend I have not seen in years, went with me to a hotel, the bell boy took us to the room and held out a small glass cup, Diane put a chunk of pineapple in it.

Each time he did something for us, she put the pineapple in the glass cup.

I went out, came back and could not find the room.

I went to find the plane and could not find it.

Could not find the airport or where to go...

All of the dreams are like that. I decided to share this because who knows,

I may be in a mental hospital soon and I will disapear and you will not know because Bob can't even boot up the computer, much less put a message out.

HOPE TO SEE YOU AGAIN SOMETIME

PS  I did have a gay old time regaling myself with my own selfies label.

58 of them and counting....Do they have computers in Mental Hospitals?

Banish Your Wrinkles Quickly

 

Several of you have commented how smooth my skin is in selfies and I want to show you why.

Of course low light helps. 

The thing I have noticed is when I smile, the wrinkles don't show.

At the risk of some of you dying of fright seeing my UGLY non smiling selfies.

Check out what a SMILE does.

You may notice, when my face is at rest, my mouth naturally turns down. So did my Dad's. I always look mad if I am not smiling...

 

See how I look 10 years older and angry?

Laugh and the world laughs with you, Weep and you weep alone. Ellen Wheeler

Let your Smile change the world, but don't let the world change your SMILE

Smile and your wrinkles will not show
and you will look younger than you know.
your cheeks may look apple fat,
but no one will notice that
Because the world will smile with you,
that is all you have to do.

Masked and READY

 

If you saw me in this mask walking in a Wal-Mart at 6 am for Senior Shopping, would you ask if I were over the age of 60?

Well, the greeter advised me it was early for seniors only, 60 and above.

She said Are you above 60? I answered does 76 count?

This is the 2nd time she has asked me that, I see her every Tuesday at 6 am, and have since March. 

Twice now she asked, what about the other 36 times she did not ask.

I speak to her each time and have discussed this type mask several times.

She in fact is the one who told me where to find them, because she had on a red one and I said where did you get that.

Again this time, she had on a different color. I said I want a couple more of these, I wish you would get them in. she said they came in 2 weeks ago.

She directed me where they were and now you see my two new prints.

I thin the cammo makes me look angry.. see lower right below..

they are polyester/spandex and the most comfy of all the mask I own..

I almost forget I have it on.

If you decide you want to look 16 years younger and go to find one at Walmart

 they are with the purses. 

PS sorry about the HAIR today, I am ashamed to say it, but I totally forgot to wash my hair on day 3 and 4. I always wash it on the 3rd day.

 Bob said how can you forget to wash your hair?

Good question, no comment

USSIE with my Beau Boy.. the rest of the USSIES are on Beaus Blog

 

Santa ME, Selfie or Photo?

 

What do you think I said?

Hey Google take a photo? or Hey Google take a selfie?

The first collage, I said Take a Selfie and 

All of the others were taken by saying Hey Google, take a photo!!

Write that down, this is important!!! 🎄🎀🎄🎀

Flaming Flock Star!

 

From one glamingo to another, 

I am ready to party like a flock star! I feel flocking fabulous!

Say somthin nice about me, don't make me put me foot down!

I am tickled Pink that you are here and that I am part of your flock.

I found Christmas Flamingo Leggins this week at Wal-Mart and I also bought the black with white polka dots because I am in love with polka dots.

YES! I did use the cell phone and say Hey Google, take a selfie! Then I took a few waving my hand at the phone. works fine as you can see.

Oops! how did that get here

here you go, La Leggins!

Oh, Give Me The Phone! not a selfie on selfie sunday

 

Turn it sideways.. push the white button.

Did you push the white button?

You took so long, Beau turned his head away. Beau, look at Daddy

(note my aggravated hand signal)

Take it now, take it now! He did and nearly cut my head off, then there was so much street I had to 

Crop IT!

Yes Beau and I live with a man who has no cell phone, never had a camera, hates them in fact.

How could that be???

Oh give me the phone! 

I am sure all of you have wondered at on time or the other why our comments on our post don't match with the number of visits to our post each day.

This week I received a card and a letter, via SNAIL mail.  It was from Diane in Franklin TN. She doesn't comment but reads my blog daily. Thank you Diane for the sweet words. She said she loves cards and letters, instead of the new techie stuff.

Hubby said when I read it, who is that from, I said it is from a woman in TN that reads my blog but doesn't comment, she likes snail mail.

His comment was What the ******is snail mail?

Oh Well... Thank you unknown readers....

Ode to Shrink Wrap

Monday Noon by Doctor

Wed Noon did it myself

I took photos of under the bandage, but to gross to post, email if you want to see it Rose and Ginny...I know you do.

Thursday 1 pm by Urgent care walk in, it was hurting and looking UGLY, so let them check it

About The Fall.... I got agitated, in the way old people do, over NOTHING, and totally forgot my feet were still damp, and the white tile is slick when feet are wet.

Right leg slid backwards and threw me into the edge of the door. 

Down like a felled tree, on right knee, door edge got my arm, both wrist caught my full weight, Shoulder and head hit.. Knocked the breathe out of me.

Left arm 3 bad cuts, 2 sprained fingers, one sprained wrist, one bruise on shoulder

Left knee, direct hit on the ball, leaving fluid that is still there, looked like  a softball.

Right arm, sprained wrist, bruise on top of hand, 2 sprained fingers plus reinured the knuckle from weeks ago

   Its been Fun... Ice pack galore and as I was enthroned, a poem came to me

Ode to Shrink Wrap

While perched upon my throne, 

feeling the pain in every bone, 

I realized the TP was gone!

When reaching inside the cabinet door

 I realized it would hurt  more

 as I dragged the package out on the floor.

 the *&%$# indestructible shrink wrap would require much much more.

the finger action required, just might require scissors.

For that I would need a Wizard! 

PEE SS I did get it open, without scissors, but oh My be glad you could not HEAR me.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Or NOT!  I do look like a witch and so do the hands.. Where is da hat

The answer to Annies Scavenger hunt yesterday is below.

Mary's knees on my ceramic Statue that lives year round in the book case under the TV.

Avoid Housework at all Cost Part 2

 

Hi, thanks for stopping by

Having wasted an hour, I moved on to the 2nd hour. 1st hour is in Yesterdays POST.

Videos are self explanatory.

For those that can't hear or see ut, I tried to make a video with my voice NORMAL speaking.

To be continued.....

NO creamer for Me

 

Above is a video in a photo, click on it to play and turn up the sound

Does this bow make me look fat????

Or maybe Stupid???

4 weeks of Big Boy being so sick, created a hole in my heart and stomach.

Each morning for 3 weeks, I could not finish a cup of coffee, I tossed a half cup, each cup I filled.

I NEED coffee when I wake up to MOVE!

I decided to try it without creamer, just Sweet N Low, the pink kind.

I found I  could drink it.

I have wanted to give up the cream/creamer and now I have.

I am working on the sweetener, but I have been drinking it for 48 years.

 

The video and bubble thingy was NEW in stickers in my phone.

The video is Their Fault, not mine!

They Keep Adding Things!

Yes!

 I  know I don't HAVE to look to see if they added new stuff. but they did!

I decided to do what my cup told me to do and

Gopher It!!!

WalMart, Handbag Dept

 

My new mask, tied back on left, hanging free on right.

The Title of Wal-Mart, Handbag Dept is for Ginny, because I knew you would ask where I got it.

It seems to be easier to breathe.

And I am hoping it will stop the fogging of my glasses.

The greeter at WM had on a black one, the WM shopper for online had one on. I waned Black.

They had 2 left, both this color.

Pattern shot for you Linda Chapman, looks easy to make

I remembered when we made an appt. at the local bank, to go inside the lobby, they said wear a mask, but take off you sunglasses....... 

If you tell me don't do it, I JUST MUST.

A circus of a-horror, yea yea, well that's what you are

You made me a life of ashes

I guess I'll just take your glasses

Throw Back, WAY BACK

 

Way back in high school... 1960, 10th grade, 1961, 11th grade, 1962, 12th Grade.

Below is Christmas 1981, David was 16 and 6/2'', Daniel was 14 and 6 feet.

By the end of another year, Dan grew 5 inches to 6'5''.

David grew 11 inches in 7th and 8th grade. He complained of bones hurting, the doc said, its because he grew so fast in one year.

I was a shrimp Mama, at 5'6''.

BLACK AND WHITE PHOTO FOR SUE

Throwback Thursday 1981

 

Christmas at 5 am, opening presents 1981 above

That was the year I lost 100 pounds. I refuse to show you those photos.

239 to 139, in one year. I attended Overeaters Anonymous. 

From the time my sons were born in 1965 and 1967, every Christmas morning, at 4:30 I called my parents and they came over, the boys had to stay in their room until Grandma and Grandpa got there.

It was a five minute drive. The boys were 14 and 16 this year.

I still have the lamp and Santa, but the scary pressure cooker is long gone.

 I remember fussing about the unexpected Kitchen shot. 

I was making pancakes on the griddle.

Talk about throwback, see that phone with a dial on the wall? 

we will not discuss the wall paper. What was I thinking? ORANGE was big back then.

The fridge was Brown as was the stove. 

Be glad you could not see the floor. 

I found these photos in an old photo album and used my cell phone to take these, sadly the original is no better.

The photos were taken with the $9.99 Polaroid Instant land Camera.

the film cost  more than the camera and we only took a few photos.
